Chapter 88
Xu Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief.
Jing Xian had been keeping an eye on her, and when she saw this scene, a cold light flashed across her eyes.
It seems that there are many places in that room that are worth careful inspection.
She deliberately looked at Shang Nanchen timidly, and her eyes happened to meet Shang Nanchen's. They both saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.
"Dad, I haven't eaten yet, is there any food at home?"
Jing Xian was wearing a white coat, standing there prettyly, looking at Shang Yongchang with innocent eyes like a deer. Shang Yongchang had a gloomy face and could not say a word.
"Just make whatever you want to eat." Shang Yongchang sat on the sofa, ignoring Jing Xian, and motioned Shang Nanchen to sit down, "I have something to tell you."
Jing Xian looked at Xu Xiuying, then at Shang Yongchang, and finally took off her coat, put it on the sofa next to Shang Nanchen, and whispered, "Then I'll go cook!"
She carried the vegetables she brought with her, two bags in each hand, and walked in easily.
When Xu Xiuying saw how strong she was, she thought with disdain in her heart, she is worthy of being from the countryside, she is really strong.
After a while, fragrance came from the kitchen.
Jing Xian brought the food to the table, turned around and shouted to Shang Nanchen: "Shang Nanchen, come and eat! Dad, Auntie, do you two want to eat something?"
Qiuqin has a day off today, so Xu Xiuying prepared dinner. Xu Xiuying’s cooking skills are not just average, they are very average.
Either it's bland and tasteless, or it's rotten and chewy.
Shang Yongchang ate a little, but was not full. He made an excuse and said, "Go and get my wine. Shang Nanchen and I will have a drink."
Xu Xiuying was so angry that she wanted to kick Shang Yongchang to the ground.
She endured it again and again, turned around and got a bottle of the cheapest wine and put it on the table. When she saw the table full of dishes, she suddenly couldn't move her feet.
"Dad, you must try this crab. It's a good thing! It used to be used as medicine. Later, people found that it is very delicious to eat in this season." Jing Xian had already steamed a big pot of crab for the children yesterday.
The children enjoyed the meal very much.
Jing Xian also specially prepared ginger soup for the children.
The children also felt happy drinking the ginger soup.
Without Jing Xian's instruction, Shang Nanchen started to dismantle the crab and demonstrated it to Shang Yongchang.
Shang Yongchang wondered what could be so delicious about this thing, but he found that Jingxian opened it faster than his son and ate it directly with a spoon, eating it with great relish. Xu Xiuying couldn't leave at all, so she sat down and followed Jingxian's example to eat crabs.
When Shang Yongchang saw that Xu Xiuying ignored him, he had to take action himself.
The crabs were really delicious!
Better than expected.
Shang Yongchang no longer disliked Jing Xian.
Jing Xian ate two crabs in one go and drank the ginger soup slowly. She sat there with a look of giving instructions: "Dad, this is a good thing, right? Isn't it delicious? Now is the season for eating crabs. By the way, you are old, so you can't eat too much. Two is enough. Be sure to drink some ginger soup after eating to avoid stomach discomfort."
Shang Nanchen was hungry.
After eating the crab, I drank a bowl of ginger soup, picked up my chopsticks and started eating.
Just one bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes is enough for Shang Nanchen to eat alone, and also enough for others to have a taste.
Shang Yongchang was slow and the food was almost gone after just two bites.
After taking only one bite, Xu Xiuying suddenly realized that Shang Yongchang was right. Jingxian's cooking skills were really good. There was also a dish of stir-fried green peppers with meat, which tasted especially good. Even the stir-fried gourd and winter melon soup were very delicious.
Xu Xiuying didn't mind Jingxian staying here for one night.
If Jingxian left tomorrow night, she would be able to have a few more delicious meals.
After dinner, Shang Yongchang went back to his room to rest.
Xu Xiuying waited until Shang Yongchang fell asleep before she quietly walked out of the room and headed for the guest room opposite. While closing the door, she looked left and right, mainly at the door where Shang Nanchen and Jing Xian lived.
After making sure the door was closed and suspected that he had fallen asleep, I closed the door with confidence.
Jing Xian had good hearing. She leaned against the wall, listened carefully, and whispered to Shang Nanchen, "It seems that she didn't move to the same place we opened last time."
"No?" Shang Nanchen frowned, "It seems that she really hid a lot of things in there."
Normal people would focus on the basement when they searched the house, but she did the opposite and hid everything upstairs.
If he hadn't discovered the secret compartment in the cabinet by chance last time, he probably wouldn't have been able to catch Xu Xiuying. He simply thought that Xu Xiuying was trying to find a way for him, so she let Xu Qingping trick his ex-wife Sun Wenxin and Jing Hongyu into coming here.
Overall, it's really impeccable.
Unfortunately, he saw the letters written in R.
"She's sending a telegram!"
Jing Xian placed her fingers on the wall, and Shang Nanchen stared at her movements intently.
After the conversation, Shang Nanchen said coldly: "This woman can't stay. I'm going out for a while, you help me cover for me."
"If you don't come back before five in the morning, I'll drive out to find you. Let's meet at the department store!" Jing Xian is not an ordinary person either.
Shang Nanchen hugged her tightly and warned her seriously: "No matter what she does next, don't be impulsive. Remember, everything should be done after I come back! If I can't come back, we will meet in the department store. If I can't go, I will let someone notify you. The slogan is..."
"The king of heaven covers the tiger of earth!"
Jing Xian said it subconsciously and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but if she didn't show it, others wouldn't know she was embarrassed.
"The next sentence is about the pagoda that suppresses the river monster!" Jing Xian finished speaking and secretly asked Shang Nanchen, "What do you think?"
"Very good! Most people can't think of it!"
Shang Nanchen laughed after he finished speaking.
He walked to the window, then came back and kissed Jing Xian hard: "Take care of yourself!"
As he said this, he opened the window and went down quietly from the second-floor window.
Jing Xian stood by the window and looked at him. He was like an elegant big cat. He stood on the ground in the blink of an eye, waved at her, climbed up the wall in the cover of night, and jumped down easily and disappeared.
She knew very well that Shang Nanchen's skills would normally be fine.
But she couldn't control herself and still worried.
It's okay to stay awake all night.
But Jing Xian thought that there would be a big event tomorrow, so she closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep. Shang Nanchen was not there, and she was sleeping in a strange place. Jing Xian felt like she had returned to the end of the world. She slept very uneasily, and she would wake up immediately if a cat called softly.
Jing Xian looked at the time, it was four forty.
Shang Nanchen hasn't come back yet.
Jing Xian picked up a pen and paper and wrote, "Dad, I'm going to the department store. I didn't buy shoes last time. These cloth shoes don't match this coat at all. You guys can have breakfast by yourselves. Don't worry about us not having breakfast. I steamed crab roe noodles and have already eaten them."
After writing, she went downstairs and took out the crab noodles she had prepared last night and made some crab roe noodles. She ate a bowl herself and washed the dishes and chopsticks.
She packed up all the remaining crab roe noodles, put them in the lunch box she brought with her, wrapped them in cotton cloth and planned to take them to Shang Nanchen to eat.
Before leaving the house, she placed the written note on the coffee table and pressed it down with something so that it would not be noticed unless you looked carefully.
Jing Xian drove away in the cover of night.
It was early in the morning and there was almost no one on the street except the street sweepers.
Jing Xian drove to the department store and parked the car at the door, in a very conspicuous place, waiting for Shang Nanchen to come.
She didn't have to wait long before Shang Nanchen arrived.
"You haven't eaten yet? Eat something quickly." As she said this, she handed over the lunch box, which was still warm.
There is hot crab roe noodles inside. It is not as delicious as when it is just out of the pot, but it tastes good too.
Jing Xian took out the military water bottle and handed it to him: "It contains boiled water, not very hot, it's just right to drink now, it will warm you up."
Shang Nanchen felt that he had never been so happy in his life.
“In the past, when we went on missions
, let alone eating and drinking hot water. It is not easy to even drink a sip of clean water. They eat cold steamed buns. Sometimes they can't even eat when the war breaks out. Some people even mutter about the vegetable cakes their mother made before they die. "Shang Nanchen was silent for a moment, then he said fiercely, "We have been catching those guys all these years, but I didn't expect some of them to hide so deeply. Xu Xiuying insisted on sending telegrams when we came over, so she must have been in contact with the other party at a fixed time. It looks like it has been at least a long time."
Jing Xian said: "We will definitely catch some fish this time!"
If he can really be caught, Shang Nanchen will be a hero.
Shang Nanchen whispered, "Song Zheng and her men will be outside soon. Even if we don't catch her and let her run away, she can't get out. There's already a net set up outside, waiting for her to be caught."
Jing Xian thought to herself that even if Xu Xiuying was very powerful, there was no way she would be able to escape.
She is not a vegetarian either.
"What about Xu Xiuying's two children?" Jing Xian asked him.
"Don't touch them for now, so as not to alert the enemy." Shang Nanchen's eyes were cold. "If they are also insiders, they will definitely not be able to escape."
"Wait until the mall opens?" Jing Xian asked him.
Shang Nanchen shook his head: "Go back as soon as possible to prevent the news from leaking out!"
"Then let's go back."
Jing Xian jumped into the car and started it subconsciously. When she saw Shang Nanchen trying to open the door and drive over, she realized that she was impulsive again.
But Jing Xian was very calm and not panicked at all.
She drove the car here.
Absolutely no problem.
"I was driving just now, and now I'm driving back. Others will think it's normal and there's nothing wrong with it when they see it. You can also eat on the way." Jing Xian thought he was such a clever kid.
Shang Nanchen looked at her and found a step for her to go down: "When did you learn to drive? Don't tell me you learned it on the way here."
"That's it, a natural talent." Jing Xian smiled.
As soon as she started driving, it was revealed that she was an experienced driver.
Shang Nanchen's driving skills are already very good, but compared to Jing Xian, they are far behind.
Eating on the way?
He felt that if he hadn't had strong self-control, he would have vomited.
How can I eat this?
Halfway through the journey, Jing Xian also realized this: "Sorry, I'm a little anxious and want to go back to catch someone. You should eat now. Only when you are full can you have the strength to interrogate the prisoner."
Shang Nanchen: “…”
He thought she had forgotten that he hadn't eaten.
The crab roe noodles are really delicious.
The noodles were hand-rolled by Jingxian and were very chewy. It can be said that these were the most delicious noodles Jingxian had ever eaten.
Shang Nanchen ate the noodles very quickly, you could say he was wolfing them down, but he also ate very elegantly.
All in all, it's not ugly.
After finishing his noodles, he drank some water and gradually increased the speed of the car.
"You'd better not drive easily in the future." Shang Nanchen's face turned pale when he got out of the car.
Jing Xian said confidently, "Your acting skills are not good. It will be troublesome if she finds out. We went out early in the morning, and it is obviously unreasonable for us to come back suddenly now."
"Are you sure?" Shang Nanchen exposed her mercilessly, "If you want to race, just tell me. Anyway, I won't let you touch the car in the future. Go in later and act according to the situation. Don't give her a chance to attack."
"I know!"
Jing Xian thought that she drove here so fast just to prevent the people brought by Song Zheng from taking all the credit.
She and Shang Nanchen captured the man personally, and that was a credit that no one could take away from them.
"Let's go! It's time for them to get up." Jing Xian said as she walked over and helped Shang Nanchen, "I'll help you go in."
Shang Nanchen wanted to say no, but Jing Xian was very strong and had already dragged him inside.
When Xu Xiuying saw the car driving in, the emotions in her eyes began to change unpredictably.
When Jing Xian helped Shang Nanchen in, she asked hypocritically, "What happened? Did you go to the hospital so early in the morning?"
"Auntie, you are so young, why do you have such poor eyesight?
"Jing Xian squeezed Shang Nanchen's arm, then helped Shang Nanchen walk towards the tea table.
Xu Xiuying is not old, she is still very young.
I get so angry every day when Jingxian calls me "Auntie" all the time.
Now Jing Xian said that my eyesight was poor, and my mood reached the lowest point.
"Why is my eyesight so bad?" she said unhappily.
Anyway, Shang Yongchang was not here, so she could say whatever she wanted.
Jing Xian had already pulled Shang Nanchen to the coffee table. She helped Shang Nanchen sit on the sofa and asked, "Then why can't you see this?"
"What is this?" Xu Xiuying came over and looked at the table carefully.
Jing Xian's eyes flickered slightly, and she said in a particularly annoying tone: "I wrote such a big note before I left this morning, and you didn't even see it. If this isn't poor eyesight, what is it?"
Xu Xiuying lowered her head and saw the note that was pressed under the teacup, with only a little bit of the edge sticking out. If you didn't look carefully, who would notice this!
"Is this the big note you mentioned? Who can see it?" Xu Xiuying said with a sneer, and raised her hand to take the note.
Jing Xian leaned over and said, "Dad must be able to see it. He drinks tea every day. I noticed it!"
"Jingxian, you are sick..."
Before Xu Xiuying could finish her words, her body fell limply to the ground.
Jing Xian pulled the man back, raised her eyebrows, and turned to ask Shang Nanchen: "I was chopped unconscious, can I be tied up now?"
Shang Nanchen: “…”
It's not like he hasn't seen people do things efficiently before.
But I have never seen Jing Xian do this, she attacked unexpectedly and knocked the person unconscious.
Should he sympathize with Xu Xiuying? Or should he sympathize with Xu Xiuying?
"I'll help her out." Jing Xian said, helping the person up and walking outside.
Shang Nanchen immediately got up and followed. When they got to the yard and opened the car door, Jing Xian roughly stuffed the man into the car. She got in as well. She didn't know where she got the hemp rope from, but she tied the man up tightly, not only his hands, but also his feet.
Strictly and honestly, there is no possibility of escape.
Shang Nanchen only had a short while to sit in the driver's seat, start the car, and drive it out of the yard. When he looked back, Jing Xian had already tied the man up and thrown him on the passenger seat.
The corner of his mouth twitched: "Have you ever considered joining the army?"
"I join the army? Is that okay?" Jing Xian's eyes lit up.
Shang Nanchen found that it seemed possible: "If you want, I'll ask for you."
Jing Xian thought about it, shook her head and said, "Forget it. If you are transferred or change jobs, I won't be able to follow you smoothly."
She would follow the instructions, but she also didn't want to be separated from her family.
Besides, she doesn't have any children yet.
Suddenly Jing Xian's pupils trembled, and she looked at Shang Nanchen in surprise.
Shang Nanchen looked back through the rearview mirror, saw her expression, and asked solemnly: "What's wrong? Is it..."
"Shang Nanchen, my period seems to be several days late." She forgot the exact day.
Because her menstruation is not very regular.
Sometimes, it was three or four days in advance, and it was rarely postponed. These days, she had been worrying about Xu Xiuying's affairs, which would affect Shang Nanchen's future, and she didn't pay attention to anything else.
Just when she thought of the child, she suddenly realized that her...menstruation seemed to be several days late!
Shang Nanchen noticed that Jing Xian's face was not very good, and spoke cautiously: "Does it matter if it's a few days late?"
"Don't worry, we may just have a baby." Jing Xian pursed her lips and said with a look of hopelessness.
"Add more..."
Shang Nanchen slammed on the brakes and looked at Jing Xian in shock: "Are you saying that you might... have it?"
His voice trembled as he spoke.
Jing Xian glanced at Shang Nanchen unkindly: "Your attitude seems to indicate that you don't like it?"
"Like!!!" Shang Nanchen felt that these two words were not enough to express his deep expectations, so he added two more words: "Especially
Don’t like it!!!”
Jing Xian curled her lips: "Okay, hurry up and drive, we still have business to do!"
"Um."
Shang Nanchen looked very calm, but he was actually very uneasy.
He looked expressionless, but he was actually very, very excited inside.
No one wanted Jingxian to get pregnant more than he did.
But he didn't dare to stop taking the medicine without permission. If Jingxian got pregnant because he didn't take the medicine, he was afraid that Jingxian would suddenly leave. Jingxian had many problems, many unexplainable problems.
He had a feeling that once she left him, there would be no possibility between them.
He admitted that he liked Jingxian because of her secrets and wanted to keep a close eye on her, but wasn't this also a form of protection?
With him around, no one would notice anything unusual about her.
As the car drove out of the alley, another jeep caught up with it.
Shang Nanchen saw the license plate number and stopped the car. Song Zheng also jumped out of another car: "What happened? How did she get out? Did she run away?"
"What's behind!" Shang Nanchen said.
"What the hell?"
Song Zheng had doubts in his mouth, but his body obediently took a step back and opened the car door. He was startled when he saw Jing Xian. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the woman who was tied up like a dumpling, kneeling in the car like a dead dog, with her upper body lying on the seat.
This is a bit cruel!
He closed the door, walked to the driver's seat, and whispered, "Follow me."
Having said that, he got into his car and drove away.
Shang Nanchen also stepped on the accelerator and followed.
If Xu Xiuying was dragged out now, she would most likely be seen. So, he decided to let Shang Nanchen drive and follow.
The car drove into a large courtyard. The courtyard was desolate. It was not an ordinary place, but a very hidden prison.
"We're here, get off the bus!"
Song Zheng got out of the car, talking loudly. He just went over to pull Xu Xiuying down, and saw Jing Xian jump out of the car first and easily carry the person out.
It really means to carry in the literal sense.
Xu Xiuying is not tall, only about 1.6 meters.
The skeleton is very small.
Looks very thin.
But considering his age, he must weigh at least a kilogram.
As a result, Jing Xian easily took the person out of the car with one hand, walked up to him, and asked, "Where is the person?"
There are no women here, and no one has Jingxian's abilities.
Song Zheng said calmly, "Please help me take him to the interrogation room, sister-in-law."
"Okay." Jing Xian smiled, "You lead the way."
Song Zheng led the way, Shang Nanchen followed Jing Xian, and kept an eye on Xu Xiuying to prevent her from waking up suddenly. Jing Xian was not worried about Xu Xiuying waking up, as she was very measured in the strength she used.
I probably knew that Xu Xiuying wouldn't be able to wake up in a short time.
After throwing the man into the interrogation room, Jing Xian walked out.
She went outside, squatted on the ground and drew circles. She didn't look around and seemed very sensible. She just squatted there like a child.
Soon, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Shang Nanchen walking towards her against the light, just blocking the sunlight on her.
"Are we leaving?" Jing Xian seemed not to take the matter seriously.
It was as if she wasn't the one who was anxious and angry before.
Shang Nanchen wanted to hold her in his arms, but he stared at her abdomen. His body stiffened for a moment, and he opened his mouth but no sound came out.
Jing Xian, who forgot she was pregnant: "..."
She remembered this incident belatedly and looked down at her belly. Only then did she feel the reality of her pregnancy.
Jing Xian looked down at her stomach, her body stiff and she didn't dare to move.
She shouted: "Shang Nanchen!"
Shang Nanchen immediately asked nervously: "I'm here! Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital now!"
As he said this, he walked over with both hands and feet, trying to pick up Jing Xian.
Jing Xian suddenly burst into tears.
Shang Nanchen was so frightened that he was in a panic: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
Suddenly, he realized one thing: she didn't seem to want their child.
His heart sank as he looked at Jing Xian, who was crying. He bit his teeth and said, "If you don't want this child, then we don't have it. Don't cry. I'll agree to whatever you want to do. I won't force you to have a child."
Jing Xian raised her head and stopped crying, but her tears were still falling as usual.
Silent and looked particularly pitiful.
"When did I say I didn't want children?" The nasal voice was filled with anger.
Shang Nanchen blinked, not daring to show his ecstasy, and asked tentatively: "Didn't you cry?"
"I'm crying because I can't walk." Jing Xian said unhappily.
Shang Nanchen: “…”
He is a pig!
Without saying a word, he picked up Jing Xian and placed her carefully in the car.
"Is it okay for you to just leave?" Jing Xian asked him.
Shang Nanchen said, "Wait for me. I'll leave a message for Song Zheng. Let's go to the old man first. The old man doesn't know yet. Someone will definitely come to search later. Let's go and stabilize the old man first."
"Okay." Jing Xian was anxious to go back, mainly because she was worried about the children. "I'll call Xu Ning later and ask her to take care of the children for the next few days. If we can't go back today, let the children know."
After all, the oldest is only eleven years old, and the younger ones are all six years old.
"I'll call from here." It was still very inconvenient to go back and make a phone call.
Shang Nanchen went in and finished the call, then waited for Song Zheng to come out.
After he finished talking to Song Zheng, Song Zheng came over with some professionals and Shang Nanchen.
Jing Xian saw this but said nothing, and the group arrived at the compound.
Shang Nanchen fell in, and Song Zheng followed with his men. They went straight upstairs to look for something.
Shang Yongchang came out of the room and saw this scene. His face suddenly darkened and he angrily shouted, "What are you doing? Do you know where this is? Who is your leader? I'm going to call your leader now."
Jing Xian stood at the entrance of the stairs, looking at the angry old man, and reminded him kindly: "Dad, if I were you, I would choose to keep silent at this time."
