Song Zhi's words made Yang Yunqi lose control of his emotions, and his voice choked with emotion as he spoke, "Thank you, thank you, Lao Song. I really didn't expect that I would be where I am today. Don't worry, I will definitely work hard in the future."
"Do you need to discuss this with your children at home? You're coming here, after all, you'll be away from them."
Yang Yunqi waved his hand. "It's alright. I can still work now. It's not too late for me to go back after I retire. You don't know, these past few years, I've been so bored that I feel restless. Night watchman is not a job I like to do, but even if I like it, people may not be willing to hire me. Old Song, I know my current situation. I would be happy to be an unofficial staff member."
Jiang Qiao chimed in, "Uncle Yang, we must congratulate you in advance on your old age and welcome you back to the team. Although the color of the uniform is a little different, we are still serving the people. Let's have a drink."
Jiang Qiao's suggestion prompted everyone to raise their glasses, "Welcome Lao Yang to join our team."
Yang Yunqi waved his hand sheepishly, "That hasn't been done yet. Once it's done, we'll have a good drink together."
Because of this, even simple meals felt like a grand feast to everyone.
Jiang Qiao felt that eating was different from eating any other meal. This meal made her feel like she was on another level. In particular, Yang Yunqi drank a little too much, which made him very happy. His dream was about to come true.
Zhao Jian and the others didn't take Lao Yang back. Instead, they took him directly to their room so the old man could get some rest. Someone else had taken over the task of keeping an eye on him. Since they had come all the way to the city, they planned to go out and buy some things for their families.
Song Zhi went directly to the top leader to discuss the matter. Jiang Qiao gathered up all the tickets that were about to expire and planned to go shopping with everyone. It was a rare day that she was in a good mood.
However, before she could even leave, Song Shutian's men arrived to collect evidence and take her to participate in the interrogation.
"Alright, brother, take all of these. Here's the money. Buy whatever you can. Think about it yourself. Those people don't have coupons, give them some. We'll use the rest for our purchases."
"Remember, take a few extra for your uncle. He's a leader, after all, and he might be visiting his subordinates during the New Year. Consider it a small gift. You decide what to do. I'm off."
With Song Shutian in charge, the matter of dealing with that woman went very smoothly. She didn't even have time to go home and pack her clothes. The factory manager gave the order: go and come back quickly to help the brother factory solve its problem.
Even if the woman wanted to come back, she wouldn't dare to challenge the factory manager at this time. If she needed anything, she would have to go there and buy it.
When Jiang Qiao arrived, Song Shutian and his group had just finished their interrogation.
Jiang Qiao could tell from his expression that things weren't going well.
"So, did you get anything out of them?"
Song Shutian gave a wry smile. "I've been waiting for you to take the stage. That woman is much more cunning than Milan. She won't say anything except that she's innocent."
Jiang Qiao pursed her lips. "Does she really think she's Xu Shu? She needs to have Xu Shu's abilities. Let's go, I'll go meet her."
By the way, how's the investigation into this woman's background going?
Song Shutian shook his head. "I couldn't find it."
Jiang Qiao, who was walking, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Song Shutian. "Didn't find anything? What do you mean? Did this person just pop out of a rock or something?"
"That's not what I meant. This woman does have a mentally challenged mother. Her mother had a daughter who went missing years ago, and this woman found her after she grew up. As for whether she is her biological daughter or not, no one knows. Her biological father is also dead, and her brothers and sisters don't know whether this little sister is her biological sister or not. Let's just assume she is her biological sister."
But according to this woman, after she got lost, she was taken to a remote mountain by an old man and stayed with him until he died.
Then, running out of food, she groped her way out and begged her way home. As for how she got back, she couldn't even remember the way. Do you think you can believe her story?
"An old man, my foot! Does that mean he'd just pick up a freeloader and raise it? If he's going to pick one up, he should at least pick up a boy."
Jiang Qiao sneered, "She's really good at making things up. No matter what her background is, there's definitely something wrong with her identity. Let's go."
When Jiang Qiao entered the room, the woman looked up at him briefly. Although the glance was short, Jiang Qiao noticed the hint of confusion and bewilderment in her eyes.
Jiang Qiao wasn't in a hurry. After sitting down, she slowly took a sip of water. "Not bad, you did quite well. You were able to remain indifferent when you saw someone as familiar as me. It seems those people didn't take your training lightly."
What, you don't want to say anything when you see me? You have the guts to send someone to kill me, but you don't have the guts to speak?
Actually, whether you say it or not, we know who you are and what you want—"
Just as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door. The person handed Song Shutian a piece of paper, which he then passed to Jiang Qiao after reading it.
Upon seeing the above content, Jiang Qiao's lips curled slightly. The woman looked up and saw this scene, and suddenly shuddered for no reason.
Jiang Qiao smiled and looked at the woman. "Someone, take this woman to the city zoo. I heard that a few more snakes have been brought in recently. Let this woman keep the snakes company so they won't hibernate. There's not much to see if they're still alive. If she's not dead, send her to the place where tigers are kept."
"You, you are so despicable."
The woman was terrified; she wasn't made of iron, and she had things she was afraid of, especially slippery snakes—just thinking about them terrified her.
Jiang Qiao snorted coldly, "Compared to you, I'm nothing. If we're talking about despicable and shameless people, you're the originators. Open your dog eyes and take a good look at me. How old am I? You actually laid a hand on a child. What else can you call that but despicable?"
If I hadn't dodged quickly, you wouldn't see me today. I was just giving them a taste of their own medicine. You did the first thing, so why can't I do the fifteenth?
Xu Xianglan said angrily, "Aren't you supposed to treat prisoners of war well? Is this how you treat them? Aren't you afraid people outside will find out?"
Jiang Qiao gave a cold laugh. "Are you a prisoner of war? Is that what your superiors told you? No wonder you didn't say a word. You were hoping for preferential treatment. In the future, you'll just parrot what others say without even knowing your own identity. You'll just make up stories. Hmph, ignorant and laughable!"
Seeing Jiang Qiao insist on having someone take her out, Xu Xianglan panicked. "You can't do this! I'm a woman—"
Jiang Qiao walked over, picked up Xu Xianglan, and slapped her four times, one on each side, until Xu Xianglan's face immediately swelled up.
