Originally, she didn't plan to go out for dinner, but she couldn't do anything while staying here. Jiang Qiao felt inexplicably depressed. They had come together, but now, she had lost one of them halfway through. It felt really unpleasant to be choked like this.
Jiang Qiao strolled out with her bag on her back to find something to eat. As she walked, she pondered the events of the day and thought about that woman. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she took out photos of Sato and his father from her spatial storage.
After comparing them, she started to have doubts again. They say that girls change a lot as they grow up. Could this little girl from back then be the one she saw during the day?
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't believe it. Putting aside the woman's identity, just considering the old devil's cunning, wouldn't he have hidden his daughter well?
Furthermore, she felt that the safest place would be to send the children back to China, not to leave them here.
Although she had previously speculated that the little girl might stay here, when Jiang Qiao actually faced the question, she felt it was somewhat unreal.
She felt like she was dreaming, and there was also a sense of uncertainty in her heart. There are many people who look alike, and she was afraid that the one in front of her was not that old Japanese devil's child.
More importantly, does this woman know the old Japanese soldier's identity and what role he played in the whole affair?
On second thought, if this woman really is the daughter of the old Japanese devil they are looking for, then isn't the time when they finally uncover the truth about that deeply hidden woman getting closer and closer?
Just thinking about it made Jiang Qiao feel excited. After searching for so long, she finally had some news. How could she not be happy? In her good mood, she even walked more lightly.
Looking at the small restaurants and taverns along the street, Jiang Qiao was hesitating about which one to choose to eat at when, by sheer coincidence, she saw a familiar face through the window—one of the group she had met during the day.
She initially judged that he wasn't one of Cui Changfa's people, so it seemed rather odd that this person was here getting food at this time.
Logically, these people should have already retreated, though she didn't know where they went. But why did they come and buy so much food at this time? What were they planning to do? Celebrate? Or was there something else going on?
Since she had come across this, she felt she had to get involved; she also wanted to know where these people lived.
She hadn't forgotten that tomorrow was the day they were supposed to meet. Liu Zhanyu was still in their hands, but she didn't know if he was with Cui Changfa or with this group of people. She had to go and find out.
Although sacrifices are inevitable for justice and peace, Jiang Qiao believes that it's best to avoid them if possible. Old Liu has it tough too; he has a wife and children at home. If something happens to him, what will happen to his wife and children? Half the sky will collapse.
The person who bought the food was probably in a particularly good mood today. He hurriedly left with several boxes of food, completely unaware that someone was following behind him.
Indeed, Jiang Qiao's internal strength has reached a certain level, so the sound of her walking is much quieter than that of ordinary people.
They followed the trail until they reached a residential house. Although she wasn't very familiar with the area, Jiang Qiao had observed that the houses here were in better condition than the ones she had seen during the day.
Whether it's the house, the environment, or the surrounding facilities, she now suspects that these people might have regular jobs and only be used when it matters, or that the owner of the house might be one of their accomplices.
However, these were all just her imaginations. The most important thing right now was for her to go inside and see how many people were living there. If possible, she had already figured out how to poison those bastards so that they wouldn't ruin her plans tomorrow.
She wouldn't underestimate anyone. Even an inconspicuous person might be the one secretly plotting against her. For her own safety and the safety of those around her, she didn't want to let anyone go.
Right now, everyone is eating at home. There are no neighbors to the east of this house, which makes it easy for Jiang Qiao to climb over the wall.
Silently climbing over the wall, and using the branches for cover, Jiang Qiao carefully observed the area. There were four men in the courtyard, but she wasn't sure if there were any others inside the house.
The four people were sitting around the table, eating and drinking. The food wasn't just bought from outside; there seemed to be other meat dishes and cold dishes as well.
However, the quantity didn't seem to match what the man had bought from outside. She strongly suspected that someone was eating the food inside, but she couldn't guess who it was.
Or he's one of these people's accomplices. But if they're accomplices, why don't they eat together? Instead, they eat in the house. Either this person is sick, or this person has something to do. But what important thing could a low-level henchman possibly have?
The only thing Jiang Qiao could think of was that there were important people inside who needed their watch. Why watch, and not protect?
Jiang Qiao felt that in this place, the person behind the scenes would definitely not get involved with them. After hiding for so long, no one could know the woman's true identity. If she mixed with these people and something went wrong, it would be much more difficult for her to hide again.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly popped into her mind. She remembered what Cao Mingyuan had said before: this Cui Changfa used to be quite respectful of the rules of the underworld. This time, he suddenly changed his gender. She seriously suspected that Cui Changfa was being threatened. The only answer to who could threaten such a person is Cui Changfa's family.
Even Jiang Qiao herself was startled by this thought. These bastards, were they planning to leave no one alive?
Before she could even verify it, the men drinking in the courtyard started chatting, "Brother, do you think Cui Changfa might turn against us halfway through?"
Another man snorted coldly, "He wouldn't dare. His parents, wife, and children are all in our hands. He's a dutiful son and daughter-in-law. He wouldn't do such a thing. Don't worry, even if you gave him ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to cause any trouble."
"You'll be there in a bit. Get ready early and make sure nothing goes wrong. Don't blame me if anything goes wrong later; you all know what kind of person our boss is."
Another person spoke up and asked, "Brother, do you think the boss really wants to bring the things over?"
The man shook his head. "This is not our responsibility. Just do your own thing. Don't forget, our medicine is about to expire. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better listen to us."
Hearing this, Jiang Qiao understood everything. It turned out that the old devil had already drugged these people, but she didn't know what kind of drug it was yet.
Sometimes, she admired these Japanese devils; they were ruthless enough to not even spare those close to them. On the bright side, perhaps they were feeding their subordinates some new drugs they had researched.
But looking at the worst-case scenario, these people are clearly their test subjects. At the very least, they might have been given poison and would need to take antidotes regularly.
