Hou Diankui was temporarily taken away by Liu Zhanyu, and he also told Jiang Qiao the reason.
"My God, she walked right into our trap! Haha, I've never seen anything like this before. Oh dear, after searching high and low, she's come to us on her own. What can I say? It's fate. This is Tang Xuefei's destiny."
"Alright, you guys go ahead, I'm fine here."
Jiang Qiao was unusually mischievous, and Liu Zhanyu couldn't help but laugh along. "Don't worry, Haozi will arrive tomorrow morning. I'll bring people over to see you. We'll be going now, Grandpa. There are some things I'll tell you on the way."
Jiang Qiao was puzzled. "Why don't you just arrest them directly?"
Liu Zhanyu shook his head. "The director means we're planning to lure out the strategist and the cobra. Let's wait and see. Tang Xuefei probably still has a few pawns she hasn't shown up yet. When the time comes, we'll catch them all in one fell swoop."
Since Song Shutian and the others had made their decision, Jiang Qiao couldn't say anything. What she really wanted to say was that Cobra was quite cunning, and Tang Xuefei might not have that kind of power.
Not only Hou Diankui, but Ye Xiuhe was also taken away. Cao Mingyuan personally inquired whether Ye Xiuhe had met with Tang Xuefei.
“We didn’t really meet. I only saw her from a distance and heard a little about her. She probably doesn’t know me.”
Cao Mingyuan readily agreed, "In that case, I'll take you to see the special envoy tonight. You'd better disguise yourself quickly..."
Cao Mingyuan gave a few instructions, but Ye Xiuhe was someone who specialized in this kind of work, so Cao Mingyuan didn't need to worry about her. Once she was dressed up, she would definitely be in line with her current identity.
"Not bad, not bad at all. I must say, it looks pretty convincing. Remember that. I'll tell you about your new identity on the way."
Jian Ling and her group were quite reluctant to see Ye Xiuhe being taken away.
"Xiuhe, remember, if that person isn't behaving herself, beat her up. There are so many of us, we can easily take her down. If you need anything, just let us know."
Cao Mingyuan was amused by the people in this courtyard. He didn't expect them to be so loyal. He hadn't had much contact with them before, but now that he saw them, they were quite adorable.
Ye Xiuhe looked at everyone with some emotion and said, "Don't worry, I'm not fighting alone. I have you brothers and sisters. I'm leaving now. If anything comes up, we'll talk later."
Zhou Yu and Wang Benshan could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The special envoy had already come knocking on their door, so how far were they from catching Cobra and the strategist?
"Alright, everyone get some rest. We'll eat meat and work again tomorrow, and we'll be able to go home soon."
Upon meeting Hou Diankui and Ye Xiuhe, Tang Xuefei didn't think much of it. Ye Xiuhe seemed like a gentle and virtuous woman, while Hou Diankui was quite old. Fortunately, the old man was in good health; otherwise, she would have really considered keeping such a person by her side. What if he suddenly died? Wouldn't that be troublesome?
However, the special envoy did conduct a rather roundabout interrogation into the identities of Hou Diankui and Ye Xiuhe.
Who are these two? They are both shrewd and experienced people in the martial arts world. Don't say that Hou Diankui is untrained, but the old man has plenty of experience. Tang Xuefei's skills really can't escape the old man's eyes.
The old man embellished Liu Zhanyu's instructions in the car, making them even more impeccable. Thus, for the time being, the two men successfully lowered Tang Xuefei's guard.
An honest, unassuming retired worker and a virtuous, quiet woman—this combination is not bad; at least, it poses no threat to her.
That night, Tang Xuefei slept soundly. Early the next morning, she ate breakfast prepared by Ye Xiuhe and Hou Diankui. It was simple and delicious. Ye Xiuhe went to work, while Hou Diankui stayed at home with the special envoy.
The old man had nothing to do, so he picked up the birdcage, greeted the special envoy, and said he was going out to walk his bird.
"Hey comrade, lunch, wait for me to buy it and cook it."
With Hou Diankui gone, Tang Xuefei felt even more at ease, knowing that the two men weren't there to spy on her.
"Sir, could you please buy me some tea? I don't think I see any at home. Thank you for your help."
Hou Diankui nodded with a smile, "Okay, wait a bit, don't rush. If you want to go out, you'd better find out the way first. There are many alleys around here, so don't get lost."
Hou Diankui was at ease going out; there were people arranged all around. He came here precisely to put the special envoy at ease.
Looking at the birdcage in his hand, Hou Diankui shook his head. He was not the type to play with such things at all. You have to admit, Liu Zhanyu really knows how to make arrangements.
Tang Xuefei didn't stay idle at home. She first contacted other people and had them investigate whether this subordinate was reliable and whether he had a father and wife at home. Otherwise, she wouldn't feel at ease.
Unfortunately, her telegram had already been intercepted by the people next door, and they had their own people to handle the next steps.
Just as Jiang Qiao got up, Liu Zhanyu brought Ning Hao over. Upon seeing his wife, Ning Hao's eyes were completely fixed on Jiang Qiao, nothing else mattered.
Seeing Ning Hao standing there blankly, Liu Zhanyu gave him a push. "What are you standing there for? That's your wife, it's real, she's not dead—"
Not only was Ning Hao excited, but Jiang Qiao was too. Although she was quite independent, she was pregnant after all, and she still longed for a family member to be by her side, at least to help her when she had cramps.
"Brother Haozi—"
"Qiao'er—"
Seeing how dawdling the couple was, Liu Zhanyu wanted to leave, but he couldn't. Grandpa Hou wasn't very good at cooking, and they needed to eat lunch there. Buying food from a restaurant wouldn't suit Grandpa Hou's situation.
"Qiao'er, you two can talk about it later. What about the food for the old man?"
Jiang Qiao sighed, "Dad, you really know how to ruin the atmosphere. I've gone through so much, almost to the point of death, and I finally got to see my man. Why can't you let us have a proper chat?"
Liu Zhanyu said helplessly, "You can talk later, okay? You should help the old man switch his lunch schedule first."
Jiang Qiao pulled a bag out of the kitchen. "Everything is here, in individual packages. I've already sorted them out. Just let Chef Hou stir-fry or stew it himself. He's eaten it before, so he should know how to make it. The seasonings are all ready too."
Liu Zhanyu waved his hand and said, "Alright, you guys chat. I'll go find the old man now."
With no one in his way, Ning Hao excitedly pulled Jiang Qiao into his arms.
"So, what's wrong with you?"
Nestled in her man's arms, Jiang Qiao finally felt she could rely on someone.
"Oh, don't even mention it. We haven't eaten yet, have we? Let's cook and chat at the same time."
Ning Hao touched Jiang Qiao's already swollen belly. "How can it be so big?"
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "Two, what do you think? I haven't told anyone about this yet. I just want to finish what I'm doing so I can go home and prepare to have a baby."
I must congratulate you! I heard you got first place, that's amazing!
Men need encouragement when they need it, and discipline when they need discipline; Jiang Qiao understands this.
Ning Hao was dumbfounded. "What? Two? Are you kidding me?"
