Driving is fast, and they were almost at the capital when Jiang Qiao stopped the car. It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but that it was already dark.
Moreover, snowflakes were already falling from the sky, so there was no need for her to rush. After all, she was pregnant, and she needed to be careful for the sake of the child.
"Sigh, let's spend the New Year together, mother and daughter. At least we'll have each other's company."
Jiang Qiao turned onto a side road, then parked and turned off the lights. She sat in the car for a long time, and only after finding nothing amiss did she put the car away. She then took a stroll around the neighborhood. After driving for so long, she needed to stretch her legs and clear her head to think carefully about what they should do next.
Song Shutian and the others are still imprisoned, especially her second brother. Although it's been a lifetime, she still has memories of him. He was her own brother, and she can't ignore this.
She knew that Jiang Jinyu's problem was caused by the enemy in the dark, but she could understand that the higher-ups wanted to investigate it thoroughly.
They understood, but the enemy wasn't giving them time. How could they let Jiang Jinyu and the others escape? And where was Xu Shaoqing hiding?
You know, it's late at night, snowing, and it's New Year's Eve. Jiang Qiao is wandering around in the wilderness wearing a cloak. It's only because everyone has gone home for the New Year that people are able to see her. Otherwise, if someone saw her, they might be scared out of their wits on the spot.
Jiang Qiao was quite happy to be at ease. It was a rare moment when no one was chasing after her. Although she missed home, she had to resolve the issues at hand before she could openly show herself. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't even receive the same treatment as Song Shutian and the others. After all, she was now a murder suspect.
Although she didn't want to take the blame, it wasn't something that could be done in a few words. If she didn't plan ahead, there would be more trouble to come.
This time, Jiang Qiao changed her approach. If she were Cobra, where would be the most suitable place to hide? And where would she hide that special envoy?
Jiang Qiao muttered to herself as she walked down the path. She didn't know where the path led; she was just bored and decided to take her unborn child for a walk.
She is highly skilled and daring, but some people are terrified by Jiang Qiao, this ghost of the night.
"Ah, a ghost—"
That one sound was enough to pull Jiang Qiao back to reality from her deep thoughts.
Hearing the thud of someone falling to the ground ahead, Jiang Qiao quickly took a few steps. She really didn't mean to scare anyone; she thought no one would come by now. Who would have thought she would run into such an unlucky guy?
Jiang Qiao went up to check and saw that the man had fainted from fright. Looking at the basket lying on the ground and its contents, Jiang Qiao roughly understood what was going on. It was for offerings to ancestors at their graves. He had run into her, and that's why he had fainted.
She gave the man a few quick rubs, then darted into her spatial dimension. As long as he didn't freeze to death on the way, she'd let him think she was a ghost. Otherwise, how could she explain herself wandering around here during the New Year?
The man woke up and looked around, but there was nothing there. Just now, he clearly saw a shadow and mumbled something. Where did that person go? Even if she ran away, she couldn't have been that fast, especially since it was a woman.
Startled, it yelled and scrambled to its feet and ran, not even bothering with the basket on the ground.
Jiang Qiao could see everything clearly from within the space, and sighed inwardly, realizing that even being a good person was impossible now.
Once you're out of the space, hurry back. Don't make a fool of yourself; she really didn't come out to scare anyone.
After reaching a grove of trees, Jiang Qiao entered the space again. It was warm and cozy inside. Everyone else was enjoying the New Year holiday and trying to improve their lives. Even though she was alone, she still had to make herself something to eat, since she was pregnant.
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, and taking a nice hot bath, Jiang Qiao finally fell into a deep sleep.
What she didn't know was that because of her appearance last night, the man was so scared that he didn't dare to go out for three days, and he couldn't tell anyone, otherwise people would say he was promoting superstition.
His family did come over the next day and took the basket away, intending to check the scene. However, the heavy snow the night before had left no trace. They didn't know if their brother's eyes were playing tricks on him or if he was just scaring himself. So, the matter remained an unsolved mystery.
After resting in the space, Jiang Qiao came out again as it was getting dark. However, this time, she was startled by someone.
Not far from where she was hiding, she heard a ticking sound. If she wasn't mistaken, it was clearly the sound of a telegraph being sent.
Jiang Qiao never expected to encounter something like this in this place. Isn't that a coincidence?
Even she couldn't help but laugh; it's true what they say, God gives you exactly what you need.
It appeared silently behind the man, who was probably focused on sending a telegram and didn't notice anyone behind him.
Just as the other party was about to pack up the machine, Jiang Qiao suddenly struck him from behind with a stick.
Seeing the man's head tilt and he fall, Jiang Qiao quickly picked up the paper that the man hadn't burned yet. After reading the contents, Jiang Qiao's expression turned serious.
Is Cobra preparing to mobilize its forces? Could it be that the other side is about to make a big move?
She turned around and searched the man thoroughly, making sure he didn't leave any behind that shouldn't be there. Now that she had finally caught him alive, she couldn't afford any accidents.
They tied the person up tightly and quickly used the other party's machine to contact Jian Ling.
"What? You caught one? No way? You're so fast! Where are you? I'm coming right now."
Jiang Qiao didn't know exactly where she was, but she had seen the place name when she walked over during the day, and she should be in the suburbs.
"I'm coming right away. I'm nearby. Wait for me, we'll talk when we meet."
Jiang Qiao processed the telegram, took out the other party's codebook and studied it. It seemed that this person used this thing frequently. He just didn't know if this person was directly affiliated with Cobra.
Fearing the man might wake up halfway, Jiang Qiao slapped him a few more times, then left him and went to the intersection to leave a mark for Jian Ling before slowly walking back.
It wasn't that she didn't want to wait, but in this cold weather, she was afraid that if she waited too long, she would freeze to death.
When she got back, she started a fire and grilled some food over it. As she ate, she thought to herself, "If the whole family had a barbecue outside, maybe it would feel different?"
When she gets back, she'll definitely take the old man out for a barbecue. It'll be a lot of fun with everyone together.
