Chapter 445 Drugging, just sprinkle some sleeping pills and they'll be completely unaware!
My God, what explosive news! A former military wife was actually a spy chief? Who would believe it?
Even if you lend them your head, you'd only think you could resell some information at most.
"How many people does your sister have under her command?"
"I don't know, I've only met Sang Sheng."
"Go on!"
Meng Linyu then uttered some more random, fragmented, and incomplete information.
Qiao Manman had no interest in listening any further and left through the wall.
The system was monitoring this area, and just as the signal was about to be lost, they heard Director Yan talking on the phone with his superior.
"Okay, we'll release them and prepare a tight net..."
Qiao Manman paused in her steps as she walked back, thinking to herself that Meng Peiyu was not so easy to catch.
If things had gone as smoothly as they thought, she wouldn't have been able to escape justice for so long.
Qiao Manman returned home with a heavy heart. After washing up in her spatial dimension, she lay in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep.
Just as I was starting to feel sleepy, I heard someone knocking on the door and instinctively asked, "Who is it?"
"Manman, you're awake? Want to go beachcombing?"
"Ah, beachcombing? Me...me..."
Qiao Manman subconsciously looked at her hands and feet, and after discovering that they were slowly "growing," she patted her chest.
"Luckily, I went to bed early last night and left early, so the invisibility talisman expired earlier than yesterday!"
Qiao Manman replied, "Grandma, wait for me for five minutes!"
"Okay, no rush, take your time packing!"
After Li Hailian finished speaking, she went downstairs.
Qiao Manman sprinkled the antidote down, and Xia Zhao slowly woke up, looking at her in confusion: "Sister-in-law, did I fall asleep again?"
Qiao Manman nodded: "It's probably because there's a sleeping potion in my breath that can help you fall asleep!"
Xia Zhao blushed and said, "What kind of indecent words are those!"
"Just tell me, did you sleep well or not?"
"That's true..."
"So, if you have sleep anxiety, you can come to me!"
Xia Zhao suddenly had a mischievous thought and asked slyly, "What if someone else also has sleep anxiety, and if that person is a man, would you also..."
Qiao Manman rolled her eyes: "Just drug her! Just sprinkle some sleeping pills on her and she'll be completely oblivious!"
Xia Zhao's heart skipped a beat: "Sister-in-law, you didn't drug me, did you?!"
Qiao Manman smiled guiltily, "How could that be! What kind of relationship do we have? Would I drug you? Relax, relax!"
After carefully observing her expression, Xia Zhao scoffed, "I don't believe it!"
Believe it or not, it's time to get up! Grandma's calling us to go beachcombing!
Xia Zhao tensed up: "Sister-in-law, why didn't you say so earlier!"
Get ready quickly; it only takes two minutes to get out the door.
Although Qiao Manman wasn't as fast as her, she was ready to go; she could just put on her shoes and head out.
The group was already waiting for her in the living room. Qiao Manman rushed out, but Lin Tong stopped her, saying, "What's the rush? We haven't eaten yet!"
"I want to see the sunrise!"
"It's too late, you won't make it today!"
Qiao Manman stood there stunned for a full two minutes before accepting the fact. She sat on the sofa, finished her breakfast, and then drove to the beach with her family.
The autumn sea was turbulent, and the rising sun cast its rays upon its surface. Qiao Manman inhaled the salty sea breeze, feeling a sense of openness and expansiveness.
Ji Ming took out several buckets and long tongs for beachcombing from the trunk and handed them to Xia Zhao.
Xia Zhao paused for a moment, then handed the pliers to Qiao Manman, while she carried the bucket and followed beside her.
Qiao Manman told her to put the bucket on the ground and go play by herself.
The little girl refused with a serious expression: "No, my mission is to protect you!"
"Fine, fine, go ahead and join if you want!"
Qiao Manman didn't even need Li Hailian to teach her beachcombing skills before she started digging for clams.
He Jingcheng glanced at him and exclaimed, "Wow, you're quite talented!"
One in my hand, two in the bucket—a bountiful harvest.
Qiao Manman said proudly, "Absolutely! I am the legendary genius!"
When you're out and about, you have to give yourself your own identity. In her past life, she watched a lot of videos about beachcombing.
The group hadn't been playing for long when someone came up to remind them to be careful and not get swept away by the rip current.
After thanking her, Qiao Manman gave her ten yuan and asked her to help prepare a seafood feast.
"There's so much! We can't possibly use it all!"
"There are about twenty of us. If you prepare too much, we really can't eat it all. We'll take it with us; we have family members at home!"
"Where did you all come from? What's with such a big group?"
"It's in the city. We're a team building trip from one of our work units!"
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare now. You all come to the village to find me around 11 o'clock. My surname is Jiang."
"Never mind, I'll come and get you. There are so many houses over there, and it's a maze, don't get lost."
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Jiang!"
A group of people ran on the beach and frolicked in the sea. At noon, Qiao Manman invited everyone to have a seafood feast.
Without even asking for directions, we found Aunt Jiang's house.
Aunt Jiang was quite surprised: "How did you find us?"
"Look at the chimney! Only your house has been emitting smoke for a long time even before mealtime!"
"You guys are really something, what's that word again?" Aunt Jiang scratched her head: "It seems to be related to spider silk!"
"Insightful observation, crystal clear vision, and discerning eyes? Who knows!"
Qiao Manman rubbed her stomach: "Can we eat now?"
"Sure, sure, come in and have a seat!"
Blue crab, blue crab, mantis shrimp...
Scallops, oysters, octopus, mackerel...
They also gave them an extra plate of apples.
The group ate with beaming smiles, and before leaving, they bought a lot of dried goods from the villagers.
They said they would take it to He Nian at Qingshan Brigade.
Qiao Manman thought this was a good idea and instructed the system in her mind to show her a batch as well.
When I get home, I'll mix it into this package to help my parents recover.
After only ten minutes or so of returning, Li Hailian said she needed to send a package.
"I can't wait to officially recognize her as a relative, I'll send it to Niannian first so she can try it!"
No one objected, and Ji Ming had someone drive to the post office.
As they passed the police station, Qiao Manman used the system to amplify the surrounding sounds and discovered that Meng Hongsheng and the others were still there.
The news that Meng Peiyu was a spy chief was probably too shocking, and the leaders planned to make more thorough arrangements before taking action.
As a result, many unfamiliar voices appeared around, hidden in the shadows, surrounding the police station.
As for Hua Yihai and Yin Yuhan, one is the second eunuch after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the other is a smelly farting monster. There is no need to pay attention to them anymore.
All that was left for them was death.
Qiao Manman snapped out of her daze, returned home, and called Qiao Runming: "Dad, wait a few more days, I'll take Grandma and Grandpa back!"
"Don't rush, take good care of your maternal grandparents. By the way, your mother seems to be vaguely remembering something from the past!"
Qiao Manman's heart skipped a beat: "No way, no way, is she thinking about that scumbag Hua Yihai?"
However, what I heard was: "After your mother graduated, she went to the mountains with her teacher for an investigation. She encountered a mudslide and was swept to Qingshan Brigade."
She was badly injured and hadn't remembered her true identity for all these years.
