"There's no other way, but I can slowly figure out a solution."
Huo Qizheng affectionately flicked her nose.
"Okay, my wife has the smartest brain, you'll definitely be able to come up with a solution."
Lin Han said she was hungry, so Huo Qizheng got up and went to the kitchen.
"Dinner will be served in half an hour. Have some snacks to tide you over first."
Lin Han nodded, and after seeing Huo Qizheng off, she went back to her bedroom, took out a megaphone, and started listening to gossip.
She set the time in May 1939 and the location near Jiaozhou, where Qin Shuman's child was abducted.
We don't know when we'll be able to return from this trip to Qingzhou. My mother is getting old, and I don't know if I'll have the chance to take care of her in her old age.
【It's all your fault. If you hadn't said those hurtful things, my dad wouldn't have objected to our marriage, and I wouldn't have fallen out with my family and eloped with you. If you ever betray me, I'll kill you first and then myself.】
"Mom, why did the bad guys blow up our house? Where can we go now that we have no home?"
Like tuning a radio, Lin Han kept turning the knob on the loudspeaker, switching to the next pair whenever she heard irrelevant gossip.
Suddenly she caught a glimpse of the three words "Gu Huaiming".
Are you sure Gu Huaiming is taking the railway to Qingzhou to assume his post? We've planted explosives on their route; their train will be blown to smithereens as soon as it passes by.
It's definitely true. This intelligence came from the Kyoto Military Region compound. They said that they brought children with them this time and deliberately changed their route, choosing a safer railway.
Thus, our original plan remains unchanged; we will send an additional team to follow the train...
The conversation abruptly ended, leaving only the crackling sound of tearing.
Lin Han frowned. It turned out that Qin Shuman and Gu Huaiming had kept their itinerary a secret in advance, and the family had disguised themselves as ordinary people and specially switched to the safer railway transportation.
However, their itinerary was leaked to enemy agents by people in the Kyoto Military District compound, which led to the disappearance of the one-year-old child.
It turns out that there was another person hidden in the whole incident, someone that Qin Shuman and Gu Huaiming had been unaware of for so many years.
Huo Qizheng finished cooking and came in to call Lin Han.
"Honey? Dinner's ready."
"Ah, here it comes."
It was Lin Han's favorite scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried chicken legs with chili peppers, along with a vegetable soup.
After dinner, Huo Qizheng went to wash the dishes, while Lin Han sat in a rocking chair to digest her food. An old lady knocked on the door and came in, holding eggs in her hand, her accent somewhat heavy.
"Little girl, I'm Wei Jianguo's mother from next door. Here are some boiled eggs for you to eat."
It turned out to be Commander Wei's mother.
Lin Han didn't accept her eggs, chatted with the person for a few minutes, and then sent her away.
She didn't know what kind of person Commander Wei's mother was, but she really didn't want to get involved in their family affairs.
If you accept these eggs, they'll deliver them today and come to your door asking for help tomorrow. Will you help or not?
It would be better to avoid any contact from the beginning, which would save a lot of trouble.
Huo Qizheng washed the dishes and then washed some plums that had been sent by the families of the soldiers in the regiment. They were bright red, sweet, and juicy.
After trying one today, he felt that Lin Han would definitely like it, so he brought back some more to satisfy her craving.
After tasting it, Lin Han thought it was indeed good. She kept the plum pits and planted them in her space. The fruit that grew could be sent back to Fangfang to sell.
