Chapter 83: An An is jealous?
"How could I possibly scold her? Stop being so suspicious."
Qi Changan said this and pushed Xu Yancheng out of the office without saying anything.
"Let's go check out the things first!"
"Eh? Chief!" Xu Yancheng staggered after being pushed, and stretched his neck to look into the office.
"Please let me have a word with my wife!"
There's something obviously wrong with An An!
Will she be bullied again?
"What are you talking about!" Qi Changan raised his hand in frustration and hit him on the back of the head.
"You blockhead! The backyard is about to catch fire, and you're still thinking about carrying your wife around with you wherever you go?"
"Fire? Impossible!"
Qi Changan didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked forward with big strides.
Xu Yancheng could only jog to catch up, his tone filled with anxiety: "Commander, please stop keeping me in suspense! My wife's face is as white as paper. What happened?"
Qi Changan paused slightly and glanced warily at the two guards following behind him.
He deliberately took a few steps away, making sure the guard couldn't hear him, and then he spoke in a low voice.
"Su Qingyue, the one your stepmother took the initiative to arrange for you to marry off! She's coming to the island!"
"What?!" Xu Yancheng stopped in his tracks, his handsome face instantly darkening.
"Su Qingyue? What is she doing here? Shouldn't she be in the security team's jail?"
Why is that woman haunting me?
When he first learned that Su Qingyue might be related to the Blood Skull, he immediately sent a telegram to Hai Shi, asking someone to severely punish her.
Considering what she did in Hai City, a sentence of ten or twenty years would be considered light!
It's only been a few days? Less than half a month!
Why was she released?
Qi Changan snorted coldly, his eyes sharp, "That's the problem. He was definitely caught red-handed by the law enforcement team, but he managed to escape unscathed! This is no ordinary trick!"
He paused, remembering Gao Ruoyun's words, and his tone became even more serious. "Also, my good-for-nothing niece Gao Ruoyun said that you just like Su Qingyue? She even taught me a new word, what is it... 'white lotus'?"
As he spoke, he patted Xu Yancheng's arm earnestly and said, "Boy, I have to remind you, when that White Lotus comes, you have to control yourself! Comrade Ruan and that Su Qingyue are not the same kind of people! Comrade Ruan has a kind heart and high means, but he uses them for the right reasons. In his bones, he is open and kind. As for that Su Qingyue..."
Although Qi Changan didn't finish his words, his sneer was full of contempt.
Xu Yancheng's eyes widened in shock, as if he had heard something out of the ordinary.
"Commander, what are you talking about? How could I possibly like a white lotus?"
Xu Yancheng said this, as if he had thought of something.
What the leader meant was that his wife's abnormal attitude just now was because she was jealous?
Is she jealous because she cares about him?
There was a flash of excitement in Xu Yancheng's eyes, but the explanation still had to be given.
So, he looked at Qi Changan seriously and said, "Commander Qi, I've only ever loved one person in my life, and that's An An. She's as unique as a little sun, and she's the only wife I, Xu Yancheng, have chosen for my whole life!"
"Really?" Qi Changan looked at him doubtfully.
Gao Ruoyun's words made sense, and Comrade Ruan's reaction was so abnormal that he was really a little confused.
"Absolutely true!" Xu Yancheng sighed helplessly, "Commander, you've been with An An for a while now. An An and Su Qingyue are worlds apart. How can they be compared?"
Apart from his stupid brother Xu Yanli, who else would like Su Qingyue?
Qi Changan stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm... In terms of appearance, family background, temperament, and ability, Su Qingyue really can't compare to Comrade Ruan Xiao."
He changed the subject, adding a hint of sarcasm, "But, you shouldn't give this comforting pill to an old man like me. You should quickly feed it to Comrade Ruan! But first, we have to go see what we dug out of the cellar!"
It was only when Qi Changan arrived at the scene that he realized that although it was called a cellar, it was actually of an astonishing scale.
This group of people actually dug out a large two-bedroom apartment under the mass grave, and even painstakingly built a simple drainage system to divert the common rainwater accumulated in Nansha Island into the underground river.
"Damn it!" Qi Changan picked up a box of stockpiled western medicine, and after seeing the label clearly, he started cursing in anger.
"Are these bastards trying to hollow out the underground of my Nansha Island? Such a big show is definitely not something a mere stray dog like Lu He can pull off! There's a big rat behind them!"
Xu Yancheng stroked the fresh chisel marks on the wall with a solemn expression. "Look, Commander, these marks are all new, which means they were dug out not long ago. Fortunately, they were discovered in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable..."
"Yes, thanks to your wife!"
Qi Changan patted Xu Yancheng's shoulder heavily and said with emotion, "You are so lucky, boy!"
"Move all these medicines to the military hospital! Doctor Zhu will be so happy to see all these goodies!"
"Yes, Chief!" Xu Yancheng agreed and immediately turned around and instructed Wu Wei: "Wu Wei, you will take charge of the transportation and make sure it is delivered safely to Doctor Zhu."
Qi Changan nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go back and see our Comrade Ruan and see what new traps he has prepared for Lu He..."
…
When Xu Yancheng and Qi Changan returned to the office, Ruan Anan was working at her desk, carefully sorting out the archival clues about the Su family and Lu He in northern Anhui.
Hearing footsteps, she raised her head and a bright smile instantly appeared on her face, "Commander Qi, Xu Yancheng, you are back?"
When Qi Changan saw her like this, his heart finally settled down.
"Comrade Ruan Xiao is smiling so sweetly, do you have a response plan?"
Ruan Anan put down her pen, her eyes sparkling. "I saw a special note in Lu He's file: he's extremely afraid of snakes!"
As she spoke, she looked at Xu Yancheng, "I remember when I first came to the island, you specifically told me to spread realgar powder when going to remote areas, because there are many snakes on the island, right?"
"Yes!" Xu Yancheng nodded immediately and explained, "He has a reason for being afraid of snakes. During a sea mission one year, someone illegally brought snakes aboard, resulting in several comrades being bitten. Lu He was there and witnessed it firsthand... Ever since then, he's been haunted by this fear. He can't stand the sight of snakes, and even the mere mention of the word 'snake' frightens him."
Qi Changan frowned as he recalled, "I remember Doctor Zhu mentioned this. He said it wasn't just a simple fear of snakes, but a serious psychological problem. What's it called overseas... post-war trauma? Anyway, I haven't heard much about it in China before."
Ruan Anan understood.
Lu He might have PTSD!
Post-traumatic stress disorder from war!
But it was the 1970s, and this concept was not yet popular, so she couldn't say it clearly.
So she cleverly explained, "Those foreign invaders are invaders, their hands stained with blood, and they have hidden grievances, so naturally they have many problems. Our soldiers are heroes defending our country, they have a legitimate reason for their actions, and they are full of righteousness, so naturally they have fewer psychological obstacles! That's right..."
She changed the subject, a little cunningly, "Are snakes easy to catch now?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Changan cast his gaze towards the inconspicuous guard behind him and said, "I'm asking you, is it easy to catch snakes now?"
The young guard's dark face showed the embarrassment of being caught.
"Commander, how did you know I caught a snake secretly? I just caught it and haven't had time to roast it yet..."
"Hmph!" Qi Changan snorted coldly.
"Comrade Ruan just mentioned snakes, and you almost stuck your head in your pants. Do you think I'm blind?"
"Hurry! Go get the snake!"
"Yes!" Xiao Li responded as if he had been pardoned when he was not scolded, and rushed out.
Ruan Anan secretly praised Qi Changan for being worthy of being the commander, as he was very perceptive.
"Commander, why don't you let me take care of the bad guy?"
"You want to scare him with a snake? No! I'm going with you!"
Afraid that Ruan Anan would disagree, Xu Yancheng added another sentence.
"It's not that I don't trust you. It's that thing is poisonous! Xiao Li is a kid from the mountains, he's been playing with it since he was a child, and he has a good eye for it. You haven't touched it before, it's too dangerous..."
Ruan Anan knew that Xu Yancheng was worried about her, so she didn't act pretentiously.
"Okay, let's go together!"
