Once the food was in their mouths, some people were speechless, exclaiming, "This, this, this is so delicious! It's just as good as what those famous chefs make!"
Song Shutian smiled and said, "That's right. Comrade Jiang Qiao has been cooking since he was a child and even received guidance from a famous teacher. So, everyone is lucky to be able to eat the food cooked by Jiang Qiao."
Come on, everyone, eat more! Don't be shy, it's your stomach that's going hungry.
Jiang Qiao suppressed a laugh. Her grandfather, Qiao, often said this phrase to Song Shutian, but she never expected that this guy would actually learn it.
The only one who was a little uneasy about the meal was Zhu Yunshan. He didn't know what Song Shutian and his group were really up to at this banquet.
Especially since his message had already been sent out, why hadn't those people made a move yet? And why was Jiang Qiao still safe and sound here?
Others may not know Jiang Qiao's background, but he knows in his heart that this little girl may seem harmless on the surface, but if she really wants to deal with someone, none of his colleagues will escape.
He was genuinely worried that if this person stayed here for too long, all the hidden individuals might be unearthed by this girl. He remembered someone telling him that Jiang Qiao was born to bring misfortune upon them.
Therefore, he was extremely careful when facing Jiang Qiao, afraid that he might do something wrong and give the other party a clue.
Unfortunately, Jiang Qiao and the others didn't pay any attention to him at all. They were busy inviting everyone to eat, and the group was enjoying their meal immensely.
Jiang Qiao, in particular, you really can't tell that this little girl has a big appetite, especially when it comes to soup, she drinks one bowl after another.
"Why is this soup so delicious?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "As you all know, I'm not in good health. I'm recovering from a serious illness and my body isn't fully recovered yet. So, I need to drink some medicinal tonics. Don't underestimate this soup; I've put a lot of medicinal herbs in it. It would be very nourishing for an ordinary person."
Everyone else was interested in Jiang Qiao's soup. "Ah, it has this benefit too? We must try it. Jiang Qiao, serve us a bowl."
Only Zhu Yunshan remained silent. Jiang Qiao glanced at him and asked, "Comrade Zhu, would you like a bowl?"
Zhu Yunshan shook his head. "I've been taking medicine recently too. The doctor said I can't take any other tonics casually. I'm out of luck this time. Maybe next time I'll drink less so everyone can have a taste."
The comrade next to Zhu Yunshan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Zhu, I'm not trying to be mean, but you guys are too particular. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Zhu Yunshan smiled and waved his hand, "Never mind, health is more important. Isn't it said that health is the foundation of everything? I should protect my health so that I can work better in the future."
Jiang Qiao nodded. "That's true. Some medicines don't mix. If you don't want to drink it, then don't. Wait here, I'll bring it to you right away."
Song Shutian sighed, "I didn't expect Comrade Zhu to travel so far despite being unwell. It must have been quite a hassle for you. If you need anything, you can tell Comrade Zhao. He's in charge of this area here."
Zhu Yunshan quickly waved his hand, "There's nothing needed. It's nice to eat and drink with everyone. Actually, I'm quite used to this kind of life. It's regular, I go to bed on time and get up on time. Unlike us, who usually work very late and our bodies are almost worn out. This is good."
Zhao Anbang nodded in agreement. "So, you all need to be careful in the future. Don't wait until your bodies can't take it anymore before it's too late to treat it. Eat more, because Jiang Qiao's cooking is something not everyone can enjoy."
If I had known this girl was so capable, I would have had her cook for me long ago, instead of having to worry about the meals at home every day.
Oh my, I really think any family that has a daughter like that is so lucky. She has someone cooking for her every day, how wonderful!
Apart from Zhu Yunshan, who found the food somewhat unpalatable, everyone else thought it was delicious. It was a rare treat to have a different flavor, especially since it was something they rarely ate. So, those people were genuinely enjoying the food and were truly showing their support.
Zhu Yunshan was eating with a forced smile, because he was afraid that Jiang Qiao might sabotage him. So he ate whatever others were eating and never stuck his chopsticks out.
Jiang Qiao and the others naturally noticed the other party's actions. If there was no problem, it would be really strange. However, no one pointed it out. They just warmly invited everyone to eat.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhao Anbang, as usual, gave them a pep talk before having them seen off.
"Oh dear, I can't believe how uncomfortable Zhu Yunshan looks eating like this. Jiang Qiao, being a doctor is pretty good, at least the things you make will make the other side wary."
Jiang Qiao sighed, "It's a pity we didn't get a chance to take action against him. Do you really think I didn't want to deal with him? I could have just poisoned him to death. We know this person has a problem, but we still need evidence. We still don't have any evidence. How long will we have to wait? We can't just stay here forever, can we?"
Not to mention Jiang Qiao's anxiety, Zhang Dalei was anxious too. He had arrived early and had been here for so long that it would be a lie to say he didn't miss home. To be honest, the cases here were much more difficult to handle than those outside.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Only a shrewd person could get here. If these people wanted to do something, it wouldn't be a small matter.
"Sigh, let's take it slow. This Zhu Yunshan is quite shrewd, and that Wang Benshan, he must be an old fox too. He's been hiding for so long, how could he easily slip up?"
Song Shutian was already calling for people outside; they were going to interrogate An Hong soon.
"Old Cao, have our men keep a close eye on things. We're leaving now."
After Zhao Anbang took the medicine Jiang Qiao handed him, Jiang Qiao hesitated for a moment, "Uncle, do you need me to go out for a bit?"
Zhao Anbang smiled and said, "You want to go and alert them? I don't think it's necessary. If it doesn't work, it will only expose our intentions."
I reckon Wang Benshan won't be able to relax tonight either. He must have some suspicions about Feng Biao not going back.
"Just wait, our men are waiting in the shadows. If he dares to lay a hand on us, do you really think we'll let him get away with it?"
Jiang Qiao was full of questions. "Tell me, if Wang Benshan is the fox hiding in the shadows, do he and Zhu Yunshan know about each other's existence?"
Zhao Anbang shook his head. "Well, I can't really say for sure. Either Wang Benshan's superior isn't the same as Zhu Yunshan's, or there's no way to explain it."
Alright, you've had a long day, go and rest. Feng Biao has been arrested, so you don't need to stay there for now. We already arranged for people to be there this afternoon—”
Since arrangements had already been made, Jiang Qiao was too lazy to go that way. She went straight back to wash up, tidy up, and went to bed.
