I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 95: Caught the Eye of the Handsome Qiao Qingyu

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Caught the Eye of the Handsome Qiao Qingyu

He Xiuyu had already changed into his pajamas.

He was leisurely leaning against the headboard, stretching out his long legs, with a book in hand, and when Qiao Qingyu knocked on the door, he even paused for a moment before whispering softly, "Do you need something?"

What a silly question, who would come to your door in the middle of the night for no reason?

"Yes, I have something to discuss with you. You’ll be going to work tomorrow, and once you get busy, I’m worried I might forget..."

"Then come in and talk."

Why is it so awkward inside and outside the door?

To be honest, this was the first time Qiao Qingyu had seen He Xiuyu in pajamas, because, in the temporary family quarters, He Xiuyu always went to bed later than her and also woke up earlier.

So naturally, Qiao Qingyu wouldn’t see him.

He was wearing a set of dark blue cotton pajamas, definitely bought from the same shop as the ones she was wearing.

These were all purchased when they first got married, like the leather shoes on her feet, the Lenin-style coat—in this respect, He Xiuyu had always been very generous.

He had also just washed his hair, still half-wet yet dry, and looked more warm and gentle than usual.

Coupled with the good-looking features of his brows and eyes, on a night like this, it was enough to make Qiao Qingyu’s heart flutter slightly.

After all, he was her lawful husband, her very real spouse.

It’s just a pity.

Qiao Qingyu discreetly shifted her gaze away.

He Xiuyu naturally knew that Qiao Qingyu had been quietly sizing him up.

In the past, he would have been annoyed when people looked at him like that, thinking them all shallow.

But for the first time in his life, he was glad to have caught the eye of Qiao Qingyu because of his looks.

The corners of He Xiuyu’s mouth couldn’t help but lift slightly, but he felt it was not quite proper to be wearing pajamas. Still, he obviously could not change outfits immediately. He sat down on a chair, cleared his throat softly, and gestured to the seat opposite, "Sit down and let’s talk."

After Qiao Qingyu sat down, she told He Xiuyu what she had seen of Chen Dandan today, then suddenly remembered the woman holding a child she encountered while running out of Shangpo Village who looked incredibly like Chen Dandan.

It could have been a coincidence, but their accents were nearly identical.

Then she described Chen Dandan’s expressions in precise detail to He Xiuyu, whose expression grew increasingly solemn. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, indicating that he was contemplating.

He did not know Chen Dandan.

But since Qiao Qingyu said Chen Dandan resembled a woman from Shangpo Village, she surely couldn’t have been mistaken.

Now, the people of Shangpo Village had been secretly taken to the provincial city.

There were special personnel dealing with their interrogation, and it had nothing to do with the base thereafter.

His brows furrowed slightly. Qiao Qingyu had a strong ability to describe things, and he could even accurately imagine from her description of Chen Dandan’s initial shocked disbelief to her sudden composure and denials.

Such a psychological process was abnormal.

A normal reaction wouldn’t be so discomposed—if her relatives were indeed all fine in Yun City, she would at most be surprised.

She might even feel fortunate or regretful, but certainly not exhibit the demeanor and reaction described by Qiao Qingyu.

There was a telephone in the study, and He Xiuyu got up to make a call.

This matter can’t be left unresolved, we need to clarify whether Chen Dandan actually has any relation with that woman from Shangpo Village, and then identify who that woman truly is. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Moreover, the Light Industry Workshop that Mr. Li is currently in charge of, despite its recent establishment, is extremely important and can’t afford any mistake.

We would rather turn everything upside down to ensure it’s thoroughly clean.

Many foreign powers are barbaric and unreasonable. When you are weak, poor, and backward, they patronize you with a guise of charity, they also pillage and suppress you crazily. Once you attempt to rise, they continue their mad suppression. In short, they wish that our great nation remains forever trampled under their feet.

Therefore, the existence of Tenghai Research Base is of utmost importance, which is why such a large security department is set up.

Even though there has been no loss to the base so far, spy and espionage cases are sufficient to ring alarm bells.

These are not peaceful times, and those malefactors who fear our rise, yet also fear peace in the world, will not rest.

This is also why more forces were added to the security department from the provincial city.

He was about to call Director Lin, but then he felt uneasy about making a call that would need to be redirected via several operators.

He Xiuyu went back to the bedroom to change his clothes, while by this time, Qiao Qingyu had already returned to her own bedroom. He stood by her door, and spoke softly, "You go to sleep first, I’ll lock the door properly."

Qiao Qingyu didn’t ask where he was going, and only hummed in response, then listened as He Xiuyu’s footsteps faded away outside the front door.

After locking the front door tightly, He Xiuyu quickly made his way to Director Lin’s home, which was fully lit. The school had a break today, and his two children could be heard chattering and squabbling about something inside the house, audible even from the entrance.

Director Lin’s home was not locked, and he quickly summoned Director Lin over. Standing in a corner, He Xiuyu spoke in a low voice, "Director Lin, dispatch reliable personnel to investigate all of Chen Dandan’s family relations in Yun City as well as her movement patterns."

Director Lin, realizing there was a new development, nodded in agreement and then asked, "She is now under Li Zhiqiang’s tutelage. Should we also arrange for surveillance of her activities?"

He Xiuyu thought for a moment, then shook his head, "For now, let’s not alarm the snake in the grass."

Subsequently, He Xiuyu recounted the conversation between Qiao Qingyu and her, as well as Chen Dandan’s behavior today, to Director Lin.

Director Lin felt sweat on his back as he listened.

His instinct told him that there was definitely something wrong with Chen Dandan.

Currently, he was also swamped with issues. Initially, Mr. Wang admitted that he was responsible for the match incident, wanting to blow up Chief Engineer He’s house because Chief Engineer He had criticized him, hence he harbored resentment and bribed Xiao Hu to make special matches.

This morning, after the interrogation, Mr. Wang finally confessed that he was under orders from a leader with the codename "Fei Ying", and they communicated via notes.

Including Shangpo Village.

He was turned by Lu Guilian after the wedding night...

The other party had evidence that could completely ruin his reputation.

He obeyed every command from Lu Guilian.

However, his wife was not "Fei Ying".

Lu Guilian’s codename was "Parrot".

He didn’t know who his wife’s contact person was.

Then there was the matter of that key.

At that time, when He Xuerong and Xiao Hu were walking back and forth, indeed, there was no one in the hallway, and Xiao Hu could confirm this himself.

Nobody saw Lu Guilian go to the Big White Building.

And then there was the rear door on the first floor that someone had opened – with no clear fingerprints to be found.

For Director Lin, these were all urgent issues that needed to be resolved. With the emergence of Chen Dandan, it could mean that there might be two groups of spies lurking within Tenghai Research Base...
