Zhao Jian patted the still-naive Gu Zhixuan beside him, "Zhixuan, you don't understand this, do you? This woman is obviously their leader, or the person who acts as a link and liaison. By controlling her, we can make those people lose their minds temporarily. Once we've interrogated her, we can decide how to deal with her."
Jiang Qiao remained silent for a moment before saying, "Uncle Yang, you still have to take responsibility for your old rival. Have Uncle Liu and Uncle Zhao cooperate with you, and leave this woman to the three of us."
"Alright, let's split up then. Lao Song, when can you start your operation?"
Song Zhi gave a wry smile, looked at Jiang Qiao, and then sighed, "Girl, we're getting to the real issue. We can't act on our own anymore. I need to contact Song Shutian about this and see what he thinks. After all, this case happened in our city, and we should, in any case, inform the city bureau leaders."
Jiang Qiao had no objection to this. "Okay, let them get involved. But whatever you do, don't let the enemy's spies get involved, or we'll have wasted all our efforts. This matter is too big. I don't have any other ideas. I just want information on the person who wants to kill me."
Song Zhi readily agreed, "Okay, but I don't know how much that woman can explain. You know their methods."
Jiang Qiao sighed helplessly, "Fine, you go and handle it."
What Song Zhi didn't expect was that Song Shutian was actually in the city. Jiang Jinyu and Song Shutian had said they wouldn't interfere, but since it involved a major matter involving enemy agents, would they dare to be careless?
Jiang Qiao was nominally one of their peripheral personnel, but the deal they made with them was supposed to be a one-off transaction. However, Jiang Qiao later helped them a lot, so it was more than just a one-off transaction; the other party's child really sacrificed a lot.
But in the end, that girl was actually hunted down and killed. How can they be at ease? Putting that aside, just because of Jiang Qiao, they can't just abandon her.
Upon seeing Song Shutian, Jiang Qiao blinked, seriously doubting whether she was hallucinating. How did this guy suddenly appear in front of her?
With a beaming smile, Song Shutian said, "Little Jiang Qiao, we meet again. How was it? Did you miss me?"
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "Brother Song, have you been waiting for this day?"
Song Shutian grinned. "How could that be? This is giving you room to vent. You have so much anger and nowhere to vent it. I can't let you have nowhere to vent, can I? Isn't it fun to find these people?"
Jiang Qiao pouted. "What's so fun about that? I almost got wiped out. Who am I supposed to complain to? What are you guys planning to do next? Just interfere?"
Song Shutian still had a smile on his face. "Indeed, this saves you trouble. After all, it involves arresting people. Unless the situation doesn't allow it, you can do it yourself. Under normal circumstances, it should be done by professionals like us."
As for who sent the assassination attempt on you, it might not be them. We'll see what the interrogation results are; maybe it's that mysterious mastermind behind it all. I just don't understand, what would be the point of them targeting a young girl like you?
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "I also want to ask, how did these people learn back then? When they encounter someone like me, they should just avoid me. Why do they have to make things difficult for themselves? Even a clay figure has some earthy spirit. Alright, you guys go and handle this matter first. I want to participate in the interrogation."
I can't quite describe how I feel; it's like someone has intercepted me halfway through.
However, this sense of loss was not intense, because she was touched by the story of her two friends, Shen Ruifang, and with the change in her surroundings, she could say that she had turned misfortune into blessing.
Jiang Qiao didn't take this matter seriously, which put Song Shutian at ease. He was afraid that the girl would turn against him, so this outcome was already very good.
Although it was unclear why Jiang Qiao, who had been so bothered by this matter, would suddenly ask them to get involved, this was not the right time to ask.
Next, Yang Yunqi and Jiang Qiao made their appearance. They needed to get the radio and find the codebook.
Jiang Qiao and Gu Zhixuan went to the old lady's house again with the things, but the two of them were dressed differently.
The old lady and the others warmly welcomed what Jiang Qiao brought. Where could they find such fresh meat and fish? But the question was, who was this young man in front of them?
Don't be fooled by the fact that the old lady isn't very familiar with Jiang Qiao; she's still quite vigilant.
"Auntie, here's what happened. This is our team leader's grandson. He lives in the county town. He heard I was coming to the city, so he came along to buy some things. But after looking around, he couldn't find anything suitable, so he came with me."
Gu Zhixuan's gaze was fixed on the radio on the cabinet, his expression one of intense excitement.
"It's this, Grandma, I have a favor to ask of you. You must promise me. I broke my grandfather's radio. It was bought for him by my grandmother before she passed away. It was the only memento my grandmother left him."
But I couldn't find a radio exactly like this one. Let's talk it over. I'll pay for it, and I have a ticket. Can you give me this one?
My grandfather is getting old and doesn't want any new radios; he just wants the old one. I've searched all over the county, and even in the city, but I can't find a radio like that. Please, have pity on my grandfather and help me, okay?
Before the old lady could even react, Gu Zhixuan's words alone made her sigh with emotion.
“Sigh, your grandfather seems to be a man of strong character. Alright, I’ll let you have this, but the price is non-negotiable. My daughter-in-law bought this for me, and I can’t just spend more money on it.”
Gu Zhixuan waved his hand, "I definitely won't let you keep losing money. Just name your price, and I'll give you cash."
The old lady didn't ask Gu Zhixuan for more money. She also went shopping, and the prices of nice radios outside were all fixed.
"Grandma, look, you've helped me so much, and you haven't asked for much. How about I have two sets of clothes made here? I heard your daughter-in-law is good at making pretty clothes."
The old lady gave a wry smile. "I don't know how to take measurements, and my daughter-in-law isn't here either—"
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Auntie, I know how. I learned it from my mother. Do you have a ruler at home?"
"Yes, I do. It's in the basement. I'll go get it."
Jiang Qiao seized the opportunity and said, "Auntie, there's no need for that trouble. We'll go down with you and write down the measurements so your daughter-in-law can have easier access to make the clothes."
There was nothing scary in the basement, so the old lady had no worries and led Jiang Qiao and the others down.
