Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "No need for thanks. I am a doctor, and treating patients is my duty."
As for the other medications, I'll prepare them tomorrow and teach you how to use them then.
As for our visit, we told our families not to tell anyone.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately assured each other, "Don't worry, we won't say anything. You are good people, we know what to do, and we won't help bad people."
The little girl lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), looking at Jiang Qiao expectantly. "Auntie, you'll come again tomorrow, right?"
Don't underestimate this little girl; she's quite shrewd. She's worried because her family didn't give them money. What if they don't come back? What will she do then?
Jiang Qiao touched the little girl's cheek, then took out a few pieces of candy from her pocket. "These are candies that Auntie made herself. You can share them with your older brother and sister later. If Auntie is free tomorrow, I will definitely come."
If you can't come, it must be because you have something important to do. But I'll have someone send you the medicine first. You're my little patient, Auntie remembers.
"When I get back, Auntie will cook something delicious and bring it over for you."
The little girl nodded obediently, "Auntie, when I get better, I'll be a good doctor just like you."
Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded, "I think it's fine. I'll be going then."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law originally wanted to see Jiang Qiao off, but it didn't seem right to let a woman walk alone at night, especially since she was there to help their child get medical treatment.
"It's okay, I'm used to it, you guys go back."
As soon as Jiang Qiao turned onto the main road, she saw Hou Diankui and several other people waiting by the roadside.
"What happened? You didn't go?"
Hou Diankui shook his head. "They left, but left a few people for us, in case something happens to you."
Jiang Qiao nodded. "How are the personnel arranged?"
"Old Zhao led a group of people to that nunnery, while Old Zheng led a group to find Old Liu's men."
As for when they can take action, we'll have to find out from that subordinate first. I wonder what they've found out so far; is Cobra in that area?
"Girl, shall we go back or go help?"
Jiang Qiao sighed, "Let's go back first. Even if they make a move, it will probably be around midnight. I need to go back and prepare."
Not long after they returned to their temporary residence, the phone rang. Jian Ling went to listen and found that it was Song Shutian calling.
"Jian Ling, what's the situation on your end?"
Jian Ling on the other end of the phone wanted to shake her head, but realizing Song Shutian couldn't see her, she said, "It's under investigation..."
Jian Ling recounted the whole story to Song Shutian, "We still don't know where Xu Shaoqing is hiding or how many people he has. Right now, we can only investigate based on clues from this stranger. Do you have any news from your side?"
"The delegation has arrived, and we've already made contact with them. There are members of the Wen family among them. I'll be leaving soon, and we'll talk more when we meet."
Jiang Qiao was listening nearby, and she also heard Song Shutian say that he wanted to come over.
"He's coming over now, has the matter over there been resolved?"
Jian Ling added, "Maybe. The cobra has already run away. What are those people after? Going it alone? Besides, by now, the mole has probably already been identified and they're just waiting for the other side to take the bait. But we still have Director Jiang here, with so many people. It's better than us."
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "No, I have a feeling that Director Song has something to say over the phone, but it might be inconvenient to say it over the phone."
Sigh, never mind him for now, let's make our move tonight—"
As they were talking, someone knocked on the door. The comrades on this side opened the door and saw that it was one of their comrades who had come to deliver a message.
"We've found one of Lao Liu's trusted men. According to him, tomorrow is the anniversary of Lao Liu's deceased wife's death, so he's going to stay at a temple tonight?"
"A temple? A nunnery or a monastery?"
When Jian Ling asked, the comrade who had investigated earlier shook his head. "The other party didn't know either. That's what Lao Liu said. He said that if someone asked him to pick up the goods, he should tell them to go by themselves. He also said that if he couldn't come back, he should have the goods stored in the warehouse."
Jiang Qiao frowned and asked, "When Lao Liu gave those instructions, were there any outsiders present?"
The comrade nodded. "The person who was looking for Lao Liu is right here. He doesn't know what the relationship is between the other person and Lao Liu, but it seems they are not enemies."
Jiang Qiao asked again, "So tomorrow really is the anniversary of Lao Liu's wife's death?"
The other person nodded. "We used to go to the nunnery. This time, we don't know what Lao Liu meant, he didn't mention the nunnery. Also, we asked, and there was a woman in the nunnery who was Lao Liu's childhood sweetheart. However, Lao Liu went out to make his way in the world back then, so the woman married someone else."
However, this woman also had a tragic fate. She married a man who was utterly depraved, and after her child died young, she became a nun in a fit of anger.
The other party guessed that this was probably why Old Liu never remarried. He always said he felt sorry for his childhood sweetheart, and that if he hadn't gone to another city and disappeared without a trace, that woman wouldn't be in this state now.
Where is their warehouse?
The dock near the temple, and according to the other party, they had already received the goods, it wasn't time yet. However, he couldn't guarantee it, because there had been instances of deliveries not being made on time before.
"Will this delivery be made by land or sea?"
"Old Liu didn't say, but that person said they should be at sea. He plans to take some people over tonight to check, as there are still a few fishing boats that haven't returned yet."
Hou Diankui glanced at Jiang Qiao, who was deep in thought, and asked, "Girl, what do you mean? Go to the nunnery or the dock?"
Before Jiang Qiao could answer, the comrade on guard outside came in and asked, "They're starting to assemble on the other side. Is there a problem somewhere?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I think it's probably related to the Wen family. The goods the enemy mentioned are probably about to arrive."
Let's get ready and head to the dock—
Jian Ling was puzzled. "The Wen family's ship also docks here. Why are we going to the pier? We should be going into the port."
The comrade next to him gave a wry smile and said, "Comrade Jian, you don't know, do you? The dock is not far from the port. The dock is reserved for small fishing boats."
Jian Ling suddenly realized, "Girl, you suspect that this Xu Shaoqing might be hiding at the dock?"
Jiang Qiao nodded. "Hurry up and get ready, wear more clothes. Comrade, do you have any weapons? Give them to Comrade Jian Ling. I'll go in and get some medicine. We'll set off immediately."
Jian Ling didn't have any weapons, but Jiang Qiao had quite a few in her spatial storage. However, she couldn't take them out for the time being. Even if she could, she could only take her own. The old man didn't know how to use them, so he could just give them to Jian Ling.
Jiang Qiao came out quickly. She originally wanted Hou Diankui to stay at home, but the old man wouldn't agree. He had to get involved in such a lively event.
"Alright, you can decide what to do when the time comes. Let's go—"
