Jiang Qiao nodded. "Yes, I just figured this out myself."
"I'm telling you, just keep this in mind. As for how to handle it, that's up to you. I definitely won't be giving out this medical book for now. Now that I've acknowledged someone as my master, I'll carry on the Heavenly Medicine Sect's legacy. I'll take on apprentices later, but not now. I'm only just starting out myself, and there are still many things I haven't figured out yet."
It took Song Shutian a long time to process this information. He never dreamed that Jiang Qiao would have such a great opportunity after coming out, and he never expected that the place he left for Jiang Qiao would be the birthplace of her sect.
"It's fate, it's fate. Life is full of coincidences. I never thought that this destiny would fall on you, girl."
Okay, I understand. Let's discuss what we should do next.
Those people have several jade tablets; do these tablets also have any effect? How far have they studied those medical books? What is their purpose? Are enemy agents also collaborating with them on developing this medicine?
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "The Japanese are cunning. They definitely won't give the drug formula to the enemy agents. I estimate they'll just give them a few pills at most, just to get a taste of the benefits."
As for that jade pendant, I haven't figured it out yet. Does it just represent my sect, or does it have some other purpose? Anyway, I only have one."
She would never tell anyone about the other one, otherwise, there would be no way to explain it; she brought out the trump card.
Song Shutian really wanted to see the real thing, and Jiang Qiao had nothing to be afraid of.
This matter involves enemy agents. If she keeps it hidden, it will affect Song Shutian and his team's judgment. It's better to just tell them frankly.
He took the jade pendant out of his bag. "Take a look, isn't it the same as that one?"
Song Shutian looked it over and said, "I don't think there's anything special about it. It's just a few symbols carved on it. I think it has some function, probably like Hou Diankui's, with some kind of formation. It's the same as the picture."
It seems the Japanese devils started their operation long ago. If you don't explain this today, we probably won't be able to find any clues for a while.
Jiang Qiao, I really have to thank you for this, after all, it involves the privacy of our sect—”
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Don't forget, I'm Chinese, and I'm also half your colleague. Plus, we're friends. If we keep this a secret, it will be very detrimental to your work."
Some things are still unclear, and we don't know the locations of those enemy agents and spies. That's why I don't want to reveal them to the world for the time being.
Please understand, this is something that only the two of us and Director Jiang should know about. Knowing too many people won't do us any good.
How could Song Shutian not understand? Putting aside his identity, just considering his many years of experience, he certainly knew the gravity of the matter.
"Don't worry, I know how to handle this. Since these people have released this information, can't we use it to contact them?"
Jiang Qiao couldn't say for sure either. "Those people aren't stupid. It's not easy to find materials of the same quality. Perhaps someone is already eyeing this thing. Actually, their real purpose is probably still the medical books."
Song Shutian understood this, and took a picture of Jiang Qiao's picture as well. "I'll find someone to make one and try. Even if we can't find those people, at least we'll have some clues."
Jiang Qiao took out the jade pendant and compared it with the one in the photo. The pattern was very simple, but one of the engravings seemed to be slightly off.
"Look at this, it seems to be missing just this little bit. When you find someone to do it, make sure to pay attention to this."
By the way, who are you planning to send to contact the other side? Don't tell me it's you going yourself; our faces are probably already on their radar.
Song Shutian smiled and said, "Neither of us is suitable. We'll send someone else to try."
Jiang Qiao remembered something. "By the way, can you help me check on Fu Tiancheng and see if he's the one who lost me back then?"
Song Shutian smiled and shook his head. "You're really cautious. Don't worry, it's him. We did investigate your case back then. After all, not just anyone can join our department, so we definitely had to get to the bottom of it."
Jiang Qiao snorted, "I really don't have any secrets anymore. Keep them all safe and don't let any shady people know."
Song Shutian patted Jiang Qiao on the shoulder. "Don't worry, there are some things I won't say carelessly. This time, I really want to thank you. My older brother said that without the medicine you gave him, he wouldn't have made it through."
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "Don't say that. You are my friend, and your family is my family. Friendship is about fate. Although we met later in life, we are no different from childhood friends."
I wouldn't call myself a particularly kind person; I'm only kind to those who are kind to me. So, please don't say thank you anymore.
Later, once I've mastered medicine, I'll make sure you live to be a hundred. I don't have many friends, so I must cherish them all.
That one sentence was enough to make Song Shutian's eyes turn red. He knew Jiang Qiao's situation.
Although this child goes to school, he only attends half of his classes and takes leave every few days. He spends his free time reading books and has no time to make friends.
Moreover, this child is a deep thinker, and it's not easy for ordinary people to get into her heart. To get Jiang Qiao to say these words from the bottom of her heart is already quite remarkable.
With a moved expression, he said, "Yes, we'll be friends for life. I can't bear to see anything happen to you, my friend. With you here, at least our health is guaranteed."
Jiang Qiao was very pleased to hear this. "Good to know. This afternoon, I'm going to gather some herbs. Do you want to come?"
“Come on, it’s rare for you to come all this way. I’ll just treat this as a temporary vacation. Who knows, maybe the two of us can even catch something.”
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "Then we'd have to go into the mountains, but we don't have a car."
Song Shutian waved his hand generously, "This is no problem. I'll go borrow a car. Get ready, we'll set off in a bit."
Since there was a car, Jiang Qiao didn't hesitate to go. She quickly went to the water room to fetch water, washed herself in her spatial dimension, changed her clothes, and waited at the door with a basket on her back.
When Song Shutian returned, he saw Jiang Qiao sitting neatly and cheerfully at the door waiting for him.
The child was in a rather messy state before, probably because he was busy getting treatment for his older brother and didn't have time to take care of himself.
"Get on the bus—"
It was a rare opportunity to go out and relax. With a car, Song Shutian would drive wherever Jiang Qiao pointed.
Jiang Qiao wasn't without purpose. Since she had come all this way, she had to scour the local specialties, especially medicinal herbs. If she needed them later, it would be too late to get them on the spot, so she might as well plant some in her space. At least she could use them whenever she wanted. She didn't know how things would develop in the future, but she had some for now, so she had to get them quickly.
