"Sir, do you want to arrest someone and force Qin Hongmei to come out?" Mr. Ji said softly.

"It's not me who arrested them." Bai Qishi said, "It's Kengen who arrested them. He said that Jiang Musheng stole confidential drawings from Country R. But that's not an excuse, it's the truth."

"Jiang Musheng gave the drawings to Qin Hongfei. Now that important domestic secrets have been leaked, it's reasonable to ask them to hand over the two. If they don't hand them over, it's also reasonable to arrest them for a deal."

Bai Qishi turned his head and glanced at him. "You're worried about arousing public anger and being bad for me. There's no need to worry."

"Human nature is always the most fragile-"

"If I were to arrest them, they might be angry and call them traitors and beasts, but it's Country R that arrested them. For such an unshakable mountain, they will only be afraid and wait for help. It's always natural for the weak to ask the strong for help."

"If they are rescued, they will be ecstatic and think it is their due."

"What if they are not rescued?" Ji Fu asked.

"If they are not rescued, it means that not enough people have been captured." Bai Qishi said, "Hasn't Tang Yue always been helping the Qin family? I don't care about her, but she can step on my face as much as she wants. There are many people from the Tang family in the Middle East, right? Capture them all!"

"Five lives in exchange for Jiang Musheng and Qin Hongfei."

"Five lives are not enough, then ten..."

"Ten are not enough, then twenty."

Bai Qishi frowned, he still didn't believe it, he couldn't catch Qin Hongfei, and couldn't force these two out.

New Year's Day in Yangcheng-

Qin Hongfei went back to accompany Ms. Xia Lu to sweep Qin Jiangke's grave, and then remembered to sweep Zhuang Yuanyuan's grave.

Ms. Xia asked her to call home, and she finally remembered to check her phone. Among the dazzling array of messages, she accurately found one of the text messages - the first one, and read it twice with uncertainty.

First: "Qin Yan dressed up as you and went to Qinhuai Street."

Qin Hongfei: "?"

First: "Women's clothing."

Qin Hongfei hurriedly said: "No evidence, where are the photos?"

First: "I don't have it, but I suspect someone has taken it. You can ask for it. If you get it, give me a copy and I'll treat you to dinner."

Qin Hongfei immediately called Qin Yan without saying a word, but the call was hung up.

She answered again and again, but it still hung up.

She didn't give up easily and continued.

I hung up again, but this time I got a text message: "What's up?"

Qin Hongfei replied, "Brother, I'll come find you."

Qin Yan: "I'm not at the institute."

Without waiting for Qin Hongfei to ask, he sent another message, "In Jiang'an County." Qi Huai took him out to participate in a business trip to Qin City.

Qin Hongfei: "I thought you were in Qinhuai Street."

"Have you been to your home? Do you have any impression of it?"

"Although your home has been rebuilt once, your hometown has not been rebuilt. You were born there. That big tree was planted when you were born and grew up with you. Do you feel familiar?"

"………………"

Qin Yan said what he wanted to say, but I kept talking too much - I hung up, and I didn't call you. I won't reply to you. It seems childish, so I deleted it.

"Just say what you want to say."

Qin Hongfei said, "I heard that you went to Qinhuai Street."

Qin Yan called directly this time, and the background noise was quite heavy. "Did you hear that I went to Qinhuai Street, or did you hear that I went to Qinhuai Street disguised as you."

Qin Hongfei was surprised, "I really did."

Qin Yan said, "Do you want photos next?"

Qin Hongfei said, "Brother, who do you think I am? You are such a proud man, but you disguised yourself as a woman to go fishing in Qinhuai Street for me. It's such a big sacrifice. It's really great. I was so moved when I heard it." Xia Lu

looked at the lady curiously. It was because she didn't have a handkerchief in her pocket, otherwise she had no doubt that the lady could take out a handkerchief from her pocket and wipe the non-existent tears under her eyes.

Qin Yan: "If we hadn't known each other for three years, I would have almost believed your lies."

Qin Hongfei smiled and said, "Brother, thank you."

Qin Yan: "..."

Behind him were many people, in front of him was the night sky, his eyes softened under the glasses, and when he was about to speak,

Qin Hongfei's voice rang out, "But do you have photos? I'm not curious, I just want to remember my brother's heroic posture when he made such a great sacrifice for me, I want to remember it, and then keep it." The

gentleness in Qin Yan's eyes faded in an instant, and turned into silence. He shouldn't have been moved so early. He faintly heard the ringing over there, and he said, "Do you want me to go back and pretend for you?"

Qin Hongfei: "Is it possible?"

Of course not!

Qin Yan was about to hang up when he heard Meng Yu's voice suddenly rang out.

"Miss Qin... you look..."

"What are you looking at..."

At this time, Qin Yan's bodyguards picked up the phone one after another, and then the conversation next to them came, "Have you heard the news?"

"It is said that Jiang Musheng and Qin Hongfei are going to be exchanged, why?"

"It seems that Jiang Musheng stole the drawings of Country R..."

Qin Yan's fingers suddenly froze.

On the other side, Qin Hongfei knew more news, because Meng Yu received a video. In the video, more than a dozen people were caught squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and then they were stuffed into a car and taken away. Seeing this scene, she was very surprised.

Yes.

Very surprised.

This is obviously the behavior of a desperate person, and it even affects civilians.

"Jiang Musheng must have provoked Bai Qishi to the point of desperation." Qin Hongfei commented after reading it.

"Are you sure it was Jiang Musheng who provoked you and not you? I'm going back now." Qin Yan put the phone back to his ear and said.

"..." Qin Hongfei didn't say anything to stop him from coming back.

No matter who it was, any friend would not be able to ignore such a thing. In an instant, she received a lot of concerned news, the Yun family, the Gu family, the Shao family...

Xia Lu said, "Should I go back first?"

Qin Hongfei said, "Let Meng Yu take you there, and we'll have dinner together later."

Xia Lu nodded and asked, "Meng Yu, will this video be spread among ordinary people?"

Meng Yu said, "No..."

Qin Hongfei said, "Mom, don't worry."

Xia Lu said, "I'm not worried."

She looked at her lady and commented calmly, "This person... is still not bold enough."

Qin Hongfei glanced at Ms. Xia, suspecting that the mother and daughter might have the same idea.

Xia Lu said, "Isn't it?"

"He has scruples when doing things. If he didn't have scruples, he wouldn't just let the top management know, and he would be forced to kidnap civilians to force you to come forward. What's the use of this? If it were me, I would let the whole world know directly, and everyone would know that Country R has kidnapped people and asked you to exchange them. Your teacher thinks differently from ordinary people. In the minds of ordinary people, exchanging two people for a dozen people is a good deal. If a dozen people are not enough, then a few dozen people will be enough. But in the eyes of your teacher, if you don't nod, they won't exchange you, so - it's useless."

"He wants to go back, but he's afraid that his reputation will be ruined, so he doesn't want to make a big deal. He just wants to force you to come forward."
