"Third Uncle, I'll be going now—"
Jiang Qiao realized she couldn't help Song Zhi anymore, so she decided not to stay and cause trouble.
"By the way, did Jiang Mei mention it?"
Song Zhi nodded. "At first she said she didn't borrow any, but after I threatened her a couple of times, she told me the truth. You know who it was, Dong Chunxiao. But I let her borrow a lot of books, and she can't remember the titles."
Last time you said Dong Chunxiao went into the mountains with Cao Jingxuan, so this matter still needs to be traced back to them.”
"How did Dong Chunxiao meet Jiang Mei, and why did she have to ask Jiang Mei to borrow the books? Her daughter could have done it herself."
Song Zhi nodded. "You're right. I estimate this matter will definitely involve Cao Jingxuan. For the time being, we can't make any moves. We can't identify him as an enemy agent just based on this unofficial history. Old Chen said they've arranged for someone over there."
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy, I'm leaving—"
Jiang Qiao didn't want to ask too many questions about the procedures involved in the case; as an outsider, she really had no right to interfere.
The reason she gave Song Zhi this advice was because she felt the valley was too mysterious, and she didn't know what the consequences would be if the enemy got there first.
The crucial point is that she doesn't know where Song Shutian has hidden the old Japanese soldier. These people shouldn't be targeting the old Japanese soldier, otherwise, this matter will be really serious. They finally managed to detain this person, waiting for that woman to take the bait.
As soon as I stepped out of the police station, what a coincidence! I ran right into Song Shutian.
"Hey, Jiang Qiao, I was just thinking of going to find you, and here you are. Turn around and go back."
Seeing the person following behind Song Shutian, Jiang Qiao was taken aback. "Brother Zhang?"
Zhang Dalei smiled and said, "Jiang Qiao, hello there. Let's go, we have something to discuss."
Before Song Zhi could even finalize things, Song Shutian had already returned with Jiang Qiao.
"No need to call anymore, I've already taken care of it. Old Zhang, show the photos and documents to Director Song."
Jiang Qiao was taken aback. It was obvious that Song Shutian didn't come directly from the capital.
However, since no one said anything, she didn't ask. She just wanted to figure out why Song Shutian had asked her to come back, since it had nothing to do with her.
That's why I asked the question.
"Jiang Qiao, what are your thoughts on that valley?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I can't say for sure. It's strange. I haven't experienced it, so I really can't judge. Perhaps a professional can give a correct answer."
However, I saw Cao Jingxuan and his group go there. Fu Lin can testify to this. There were several people there. Among them, I know Dong Chunxiao and her daughter. I don't know the others.
Their mere presence there was strange; as for the rest, I really can't say.
After Song Zhi sent the information out, he put Zhao Jian in charge of the operation, while he stayed behind to explain the situation to Song Shutian.
“I’ve noted down the location. If you go in now, I can take you there immediately.”
"Wait a moment, the professionals will be here soon. Then we'll set off together. Jiang Qiao, have you ever been to the other side of that valley?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "From what we've seen, this is the first time I've seen it either. Before, we would just gather herbs and hunt some game and then go back. We never dared to go any further. This time it was just a coincidence. It was because I saw Cao Jingxuan and the others that I became suspicious, which is why I brought Chen Fang and the others in."
Jiang Qiao has already said what she needed to say. As for what exactly happened inside, she didn't know and couldn't make things up.
"You'd better be careful when you go in. I don't know how many snakes there are, and nobody knows what else is inside. Don't be reckless. Just make sure the enemy doesn't find a way in. As long as our people guard that place, we can study it whenever we want."
Song Shutian patted Jiang Qiao on the shoulder. "You've worked hard. Go back first and don't delay your trip to the capital. We'll take care of the rest. I understand what you mean. We'll be careful."
Jiang Qiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well, I have some medicine prepared at home. How about I bring some over for you?"
Song Shutian smiled. "Alright, I'll go with you. Director Song, Old Zhang, you wait here, I'll be right back—"
On the way back, Song Shutian drove Jiang Qiao home. Jiang Qiao finally expressed her concerns: "Brother Song, remember, safety is the most important thing. Everything else can be taken slowly. That place is really eerie."
And you need to hide well with that old devil; those who escaped might be heading for him.
Anyone could see Song Shutian's depressed expression when this was mentioned.
"It's obvious someone's causing trouble over there. They're already investigating. You old devil, I'm hiding very well. Don't even think about escaping."
Don't worry, I brought some help this time. Only Master Hou isn't here; otherwise, I would have brought him along too.
Since Song Shutian was willing to bring Hou Diankui along, she had a pretty good idea of what was going on; the other party probably already knew what was going on.
"Girl, keep this to yourselves, don't spread it around. Keep the radio on, we'll stay in touch."
"I see."
After giving Song Shutian deworming medicine, antidote, and medicine for healing wounds, Jiang Qiao sat at home in a daze for a long time.
She didn't know whether these people were good or bad in the past, nor did she know if Song Shutian had any other plans for the future. She just hoped that they were all safe and sound.
To be honest, even if she went there, there wouldn't be a better way. The only place she could hide was probably this space. But she didn't know if she would be corrupted by the evil place she encountered and disappear at any time.
She wasn't sure if the capable people she had found were actually competent, and she was afraid that if they didn't solve the puzzle, she might end up getting herself trapped.
He took out the radio, put it under the covers in the bedroom, turned around, and took out the book Hou Diankui had sent him to slowly read.
She was so engrossed in the book that she didn't even realize it was getting dark.
She stretched and planned to get something to eat. "Qiao'er, are you home?"
Zhu Lin stood at the door holding two vegetable pancakes. Jiang Qiao quickly pushed the door open, "Grandma Ning, come in quickly—"
As they walked, Zhu Lin said, "Why don't you turn on the lights at home? Be careful of your eyes. Are you engrossed in reading again?"
Jiang Qiao nodded shyly, then turned on the light and grinned when she saw what the old lady was holding.
"Grandma Ning, how did you know I hadn't eaten yet? I was just thinking of what to cook when you arrived. Please come in and have a seat—"
The old lady placed the plate on the table and said, "Eat it while it's hot. You child, it's good to read, but you've become so engrossed in reading that you forget to eat and sleep. That's not good. Health is the foundation of everything. Don't think you can neglect it just because you're young. Remember, you must eat on time from now on."
The old lady was delighted to see Jiang Qiao eating.
While Jiang Qiao was eating, he didn't forget to chat with the old lady.
"Grandma Ning, is there still no news from Ning Hao's father?"
The old lady sighed, "We replied and refused. Let them do what they want. This son of ours is enough of a worry. It's not that we old folks don't want to help, but it was already a lot of work to raise Ning Hao. Luckily, we were young back then. Now that we're old, we really can't take care of him anymore."
If those guys come, where do you think Haozi will go in the future?
Back then, when Haozi came back and said that his younger siblings didn't like him, I couldn't describe how I felt. Children without a mother are so pitiful.
Now those kids are motherless again, but they're all grown up now. At least they've had a mother who's loved them for so many years. Compared to Ning Hao, those kids are already very fortunate.
At least we still have our father by our side. We still have a few days left to live, so we won't worry about it.
Jiang Qiao swallowed the food in her mouth. "Grandma Ning, is there enough food left at home?"
The old lady said, "We two old folks don't eat much, but it's enough for us."
