Jiang Qiao squatted on the wall, not daring to move. Luckily, she had brought mosquito repellent with her, otherwise, she would have been covered in bites by those things in just a short time.
She didn't dare enter the space yet, fearing that these people would disappear without a trace, and she wouldn't know where they were and wouldn't be able to follow them.
As for the people locked up inside, Jiang Qiao hasn't thought about rescuing them yet. This matter will have to wait until Cao Mingyuan returns before we can discuss it in detail. These people shouldn't be in any immediate danger. At least, they shouldn't take any action until Cui Changfa helps them accomplish this.
Fortunately, the group didn't linger any longer. After eating and drinking their fill, the three people in the courtyard set off, while the other went inside. As for the person inside, they didn't show themselves. Jiang Qiao didn't have time to pay attention to this and quickly went down to catch up with the other three.
Late at night, these three people never dreamed that there was a ghost-like person following them. Although they felt something was wrong behind them, when they looked back, they didn't see anything. It wasn't that they hadn't looked carefully; they had searched thoroughly, but there wasn't a single person in sight.
Jiang Qiao groaned twice in the space. Finding her? Dream on. Unless they were dead, they might not be able to see what was going on with her. Otherwise, they could forget about it for the rest of their lives.
Following them all the way, Jiang Qiao finally found out where they were going to meet the next day, and cursed inwardly.
Those sons of bitches had no good intentions whatsoever. They've put them in a rather desolate place outside the city, probably because they don't intend for them to go back.
After seeing that the group had decided on their ambush location, Jiang Qiao quietly went back. She rushed back, and to her utter surprise, Song Shutian had arrived. Moreover, he and Cao Mingyuan were sitting in her room waiting for someone.
Song Shutian was worried about this side, as there had been no news from his side for a long time, so he could only focus on this side for the time being.
Fortunately, he came. When he saw Cao Mingyuan, he almost burst into tears. Jiang Qiao had disappeared, and there was no information about her at all.
You tell me, how can a grown man like him not even protect a young girl? How is he going to explain this to his superiors?
He was also worried about Jiang Qiao. He had seen what the child looked like before, and she was really beautiful. He was just admiring her, but what if she encountered someone with bad intentions? Wouldn't the child be in trouble?
So, she was filled with worry and fear. When she saw Song Shutian, she almost burst into tears. He also had a daughter, and he viewed the matter with the heart of a father.
Song Shutian was initially panicked, but there was no use in being anxious. After thinking for a while, he came to a realization: Jiang Qiao was someone that ordinary people couldn't do anything to.
Besides, the hotels here are very reliable, and it's impossible for her to be kidnapped. The only possibility is that this girl went out on her own. He guessed that Jiang Qiao most likely went out to look for clues. He knew what kind of person she was.
Jiang Qiao had no idea about this incident beforehand; when she saw Song Shutian, she thought she was seeing things because she was so hungry.
Why are you here?
Song Shutian snorted, "Why can't I come? If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you were lost. You almost scared your Uncle Cao half to death—"
Jiang Qiao bowed apologetically to Cao Mingyuan, "Uncle, it's all my fault. Please don't blame me. I was going out to eat, but by chance, I ran into one of the people I was monitoring outside during the day, so I followed them out."
"You wouldn't know unless you followed them; there's a big secret here. Don't rush, let me have some water first. I ran all the way back from outside the city without eating."
Song Shutian knew how hard Jiang Qiao was working at this time, so he quickly got up to pour her some water. He watched as Jiang Qiao took out a bag of cakes from the basket, ate them while drinking water, and sighed.
"Eat slowly, no rush. We can talk about it after you've finished eating."
Jiang Qiao had food in her stomach, and while eating, she chatted with Song Shutian and the other man about her discoveries that evening.
Cao Mingyuan's mouth remained open until Jiang Qiao finished speaking before he closed it.
"My God, I was wondering why Cui Changfa didn't follow the rules of the underworld. It turns out his mother, wife, and children have all been detained. These bastards are worse than animals."
"Song, what should we do next? Should we continue with the original plan?"
Song Shutian never expected that Jiang Qiao would bring back so much information after going out for so long, and he was even more surprised that this girl even knew the location where they would meet tomorrow.
"Jiang Qiao, quickly write down the location and mark where they are hiding. I'll arrange for someone to keep a close watch on them right now."
Old Cao, tomorrow you and Jiang Qiao will go as usual. Take that letter they left behind—"
Jiang Qiao grabbed Song Shutian, who was about to leave, and said, "Don't go yet. I remembered something when I was going out. Do you remember the old devil's daughter?"
These words sent a chill down Song Shutian's spine. "Qiao'er, did you see that woman?"
Jiang Qiao told Song Shutian about what happened at the hospital: "When I went out to find something to eat, I was thinking about why those eyes felt so familiar. I thought and thought about it, and then I thought of the old Japanese devil. The eyes of those two people are somewhat similar, but I'm not sure if it's definitely that person. Besides, there are people who look alike. But, that woman gave me a feeling that was not right."
Also, regarding that hospital, I suspect there are problems there. Don't forget, their research will inevitably require a lot of medicine and equipment—”
Song Shutian's expression changed. "Old Cao, what were the results of your investigation tonight?"
When it came to this, Cao Mingyuan spilled the beans, saying whatever came to mind. He hadn't misunderstood what Jiang Qiao had said, but he was still terrified. He was afraid that if he thought about it more deeply, the hospital might actually be a stronghold of enemy agents, which would be a really big deal.
If our comrades were to conduct such a bold investigation with the dean tomorrow, wouldn't that alert the enemy?
“I’ve inquired about that hospital. It used to be privately owned, but it became a public-private partnership and is now state-owned. However, the people who worked there before haven’t changed; they’ve all stayed. I’ll go tell our people that we can’t openly go to see the hospital director tomorrow. What if the director is also involved in something? Wouldn’t that be giving the enemy a heads-up?”
Song Shutian was so excited that he couldn't put his words into words. Jiang Qiao was truly a lucky charm. Wherever he went, this girl could always find some clues for him. It was fortunate that she came; otherwise, this matter wouldn't have been discovered so easily.
Moreover, if that person really is the old devil's daughter, just as Jiang Qiao guessed, wouldn't that bring them one step closer to capturing that woman?
Song Shutian waved his hand and said, "I'll go over and tell them, you two should rest and recharge tonight. There's a tough battle ahead tomorrow, so be prepared to improvise."
I understand now. They don't want you to come back alive at all. Remember, don't give them the items. I'm just worried they might have a backup plan. I'll be there to back you up. Don't worry, we're here for you.
