He Wenqing knew what was going on. He knew how he got here. Meeting Jiang Qiao was both a coincidence and an inevitability. Ma Zongxiang personally picked them up. If he didn't know what he was doing, would he have sent them all here?
Therefore, without Jiang Qiao, his hand wouldn't be as good as it is now, and he wouldn't be where he is today.
"Girl, it's time to learn a trade from me later."
Jiang Qiao turned her head and nodded with a smile, "Mr. He, don't worry, I'll come find you later."
When Jiang Qiao and Hou Diankui came out, Liu Zhanyu and the others sat in chairs with serious expressions, and no one said a word.
Seeing Jiang Qiao come out, the group stood up together. "How is she?"
Hou Diankui said proudly, "With the three of us working together, what do you think? It would be strange if anything happened. Otherwise, it would be a waste of Jiang Qiao's and my efforts."
Liu Zhanyu was most concerned about Jiang Qiao: "Girl, are you alright?"
Jiang Qiao's face was unnaturally pale; when she arrived, the child's complexion was quite good.
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "It's nothing, I'm just exhausted. But Wang Benshan is fine now, so it was worth it. Can any of you tell me what's going on with this guy? And why did you all come here?"
Speaking of this, Liu Zhanyu and Cao Mingyuan both sighed deeply. "What else can we do if we don't come looking for him? Before Wang Benshan fell into a coma, he said he wanted to come to you, saying he was poisoned and no one else could do it. We can't trouble others again, so why don't we just let you treat him together?"
Fortunately, Lao Liu remained calm and thought to contact Master Hou and the others; otherwise, we wouldn't have been so sure of ourselves. "Girl, you've worked hard, sit down and rest—"
Jiang Qiao took a packet of milk powder out of the basket. "Excuse me, could you please make me some milk powder? I'm exhausted and hungry."
Chen Fang took it and immediately found a cup to make Jiang Qiao a cup of milk, and also brought her some snacks.
However, Jiang Qiao didn't eat the snacks. Instead, she picked up her cup and drank it all in one gulp. "One more cup, I'm not drinking enough."
Chen Fang glanced at Jiang Qiao. "I didn't realize you could hold your liquor so well. Just you wait—"
Hou Diankui spoke up at this moment, "Xiao Chen, give me a drink too. I need to replenish my energy. I'm too old to handle this."
Jiang Qiao suppressed a laugh and winked at the old man, "I'm really hungry. Here are some pastries, want some?"
Hou Diankui waved his hand magnanimously, "No need for this, just drink milk. By the way, take all of these over and make some tea. You guys each have a cup. Look at your faces, all pale and sallow. You obviously haven't eaten or slept well. Let's benefit from Qiao'er's presence, so have some too."
Liu Zhanyu glanced at Hou Diankui and said, "For you to speak up, this milk powder must be something special. Come on, Lao Chen, let everyone try it. Don't leave anyone out. Good stuff should be shared."
Hou Diankui smiled and looked at Jiang Qiao, "Girl, don't you feel bad?"
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "Since you've already spoken, why should I feel sorry for you? We have enough. It's rare. These things aren't easy to get. Let's get some for Old He. He's been standing here for so long; it hasn't been easy for him."
After everyone had started drinking the milk powder, they all looked at Jiang Qiao with confusion, "This doesn't taste like milk?"
Hou Diankui chuckled twice. "Then it's not milk. You'd be crazy to think you can taste milk in it. Let me tell you, it's made from donkey milk, and from donkeys that grow up eating herbs all year round. Just imagine how good this milk powder is."
Jiang Qiao gave Hou Diankui a thumbs up with admiration, "Your nose and your knowledge are truly impressive! You can even guess that, which shows you've had it before."
Hou Diankui said with some emotion, "I've had it a few times, but there wasn't much of it, and it was gone as soon as it was finished."
Hou Diankui wanted to say something, but he had spent a lot of money to buy this milk powder to heal his old injuries. Unfortunately, it wasn't very useful in that regard, but it did make his skin much smoother.
"Ladies, drink more of this; it's good for your beauty and complexion."
Jiang Qiao chuckled, "You really know a lot. A friend just mailed this to me. What do you think?"
Everyone knew how it tasted, but considering that this donkey grew up eating medicinal herbs, it must be even more effective than medicine.
"It's a pity there's so little. Otherwise, we could buy some to drink at home regularly. Wouldn't that be better than taking medicine when we're sick?"
That makes sense, Jiang Qiao absolutely agreed. "That's right, this stuff is rare, so we can only drink it this once. I'll have Elder Hou distribute it all to me. It's all gone, so don't ask me for any more."
There are definitely some in the space, but it's really inconvenient to take them out now. If I want to eat them, I'll have to do it secretly in the future. I didn't expect Hou Diankui to have such sharp eyes.
In fact, Jiang Qiao knew to some extent that Hou Diankui's five senses were now far more sensitive than hers. She was just worried that if she brought out some things, the old man would become suspicious.
Although everyone was a little disappointed, it was already pretty good that they were able to taste it, at least they knew what it tasted like.
After Jiang Qiao finished his drink, he got down to business, "Tell me, what exactly is going on with Wang Benshan?"
Liu Zhanyu said with a serious expression, "I haven't told you before, but the enemy is probably testing Wang Benshan by sending him to assassinate two people."
Jiang Qiao asked warily, "Who are you trying to assassinate?"
Cao Mingyuan gave a wry smile. "Your uncle and Yang Yunqi."
Jiang Qiao closed her eyes, and the helpless and conflicted expression on her face was obvious to anyone.
"Just because the assassination failed? That's why he was killed? That shouldn't be the case."
"It shouldn't be like that, because we've already made preparations here. Both of them have been taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. I think the enemy shouldn't have any suspicions."
This matter is likely related to his upcoming mission. Wang Benshan later received another order, but the order was rather suspicious; its contents weren't disclosed, only that someone would tell him along the way. I suspect that this mission is what led him to his current state.
"How did you know Wang Benshan was injured? How did he contact the outside world?"
Liu Zhanyu sighed, "After Wang Benshan and his gang stole the blueprints from one place, they went to another. Our people who were supposed to be there couldn't get close at all. So, by the time we realized something was wrong and went to look for them, we found that Wang Benshan was already like this."
Jiang Qiao nodded knowingly. "Then the person who went on the mission with Wang Benshan was Ding Peng, right?"
"Yes, the two met up halfway. As for where Ding Peng went afterward, it's still unclear. There's another road there, and our people couldn't catch up with him. As for the blueprints, they're gone too. I think maybe Wang Benshan and the others went to see someone who might have suspicions about Wang Benshan."
