Qin Ningyi had already sent word to his men when An An was playing the recording. Hearing what Huo Rou said to An An, his expression deepened.
"We'll handle this matter," Huo Rou said, squeezing An An's small hand. "You..."
Huo Rou's words trailed off as her finger was tugged.
Immediately, Qin Ningyi crouched down to An An's eye level, his gaze full of pride and tenderness. "Dad will prepare some small gifts. Shall I accompany you to thank your detective friends?"
"Okay!" An An's chubby little face flushed even redder.
He was recognized as a detective by his dad, alongside his newly made friends!
Having a dad felt so good!
Qin Ningyi received a reply to his message. Gu Yan had been investigating for days, and the car had been parked there the entire time. People occasionally moved about, carrying a kettle back and forth. To avoid alerting them, they were observing the situation. But they hadn't expected An An to mobilize the children and unexpectedly obtain more information.
Who would be overly defensive against a group of children? Especially a group of children of different ages who appeared to have no connection to each other.
After Qin Ningyi left with An An, Chen Long and Old Master Qin finally voiced their doubts.
"Xiao You, is that car An An mentioned really problematic? Do you know what that sound was?"
Huo Rou shook her head. "Just a guess. I'll go meet him in a moment."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Feng circled around her and let out a long "woo."
"Whether my guess is right or wrong, that car is definitely problematic," she said, her gaze serious and even more resolute. "Shen Feng must have sensed something!"
She had always known Shen Feng's capabilities. He was the most powerful police dog. If he confirmed something was wrong, then there was definitely a situation.
"Send Xiao Chao!" Chen Long made a decisive move and had already called Chen Guochao.
Huo Rou was ordered by the two of them to stay in the ward, but the street outside was bustling with activity.
The suddenness of the event caught the people in the car completely off guard. There was no warning whatsoever.
Chen Guochao, in a flurry, was escorting people into a car. Sun Zhiyuan's car slowly stopped beside him. "Xiao Chen, is there still something going on here?"
"Uncle Sun?" Chen Guochao kicked someone into the car and then turned back, greeting Sun Zhiyuan with a hearty laugh. "Just a little mission."
"Then I won't disturb you. Keep up the good work!" Sun Zhiyuan rolled up his window and leaned back, telling the driver, "There are still some matters at the station, take me back."
"Political Commissar, aren't you going to visit Old Qin..."
Before the driver could finish, Sun Zhiyuan waved his hand. "No, the station's matters are urgent. Let's go back."
Chen Guochao also left with the people and the evidence. He had to quickly investigate and report back to the old man.
Evening, the ward.
As Huo Rou had expected, she heard the answer from Chen Guochao. "It's a signal collection vehicle, targeting Qin Ningyi."
She had already sensed it. Kurt was trying the same trick again.
"This operation was quite fast," Chen Long remarked, praising him, which was rare.
Receiving Chen Long's praise, Chen Guochao secretly glanced at Qin Ningyi. So that's why he liked following him around when he was little! A single hint, and he had the advantage and received praise.
After praising Chen Guochao, Chen Long's gaze fell on Qin Ningyi, his admiration instantly vanishing, replaced by a hint of displeasure. "Xiao Qin, even after leaving the army, you're still attracting trouble like bdd..."
If his Xiao You were with someone like him, wouldn't there be endless trouble?
Setting aside the Qin family's affairs, he still didn't seem to think too highly of Qin Ningyi.
"Uncle Chen, this isn't his fault. It's my fault, it was on my computer..." Huo Rou tried to explain.
"Xiao You, don't take this upon yourself."
"I'll handle it."
Chen Long and Qin Ningyi spoke simultaneously, cutting off Huo Rou's unfinished sentence.
In the evening, Huo Rou saw Chen Long out.
There were only the two of them on the small path in the hospital's central courtyard. Under the gentle moonlight, Chen Long looked at Shen Feng, who was walking beside Huo Rou, his expression somewhat somber.
"Xiao You."
Huo Rou looked up at him. Chen Long's expression at that moment was like it was that year...
"Are you on some dangerous mission?" Chen Long asked about Huo Rou's work for the first time.
A wry smile flickered across Huo Rou's lips. Her Shen Feng was an eagle that had clipped its own wings.
"Shen Feng can't leave me. The military specifically approved for him to leave with me."
If there were any missions, Huo Rou looked up at the cold moon and said, word by word, "Since there's new information now, I'll continue to investigate."
"Uncle Chen, my father shouldn't have died without an explanation."
If Qin Han was telling the truth, then the real traitor was still at large. As long as the malignant tumor was not removed, people would continue to die unjustly. And then there were Kurt and that old pharmaceutical man lurking in the shadows...
