Chapter 437 Soldiers have intuition; I have a feeling you're up to something!
Qiao Manman became increasingly frightened and decided to wait until nightfall to do something naughty.
He lowered his voice and asked Xia Zhao for directions to the police station, which scared Xia Zhao so much that her face turned pale.
"What are you doing, sister-in-law? You wouldn't sneak over there like that, would you?"
Qiao Manman patted her shoulder with a smile: "What are you thinking! It's so far, I don't mind being tired!"
Besides, with so many people watching over me, even if I had any ideas in my mind, I probably wouldn't be able to leave this house!
Don't worry!
Xia Zhao glanced at his brothers wolfing down their food at the table and nodded: "Tell me where you want to go, and I'll go with you!"
"Alright, alright, let's eat!"
Xia Zhao took a couple of bites, but was still not reassured.
He stared at Qiao Manman for a few moments, then mustered his courage and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll sleep with you tonight!"
"What, spying on me?" Qiao Manman pinched her cheek: "You've gotten quite bold!"
Xia Zhao lowered his eyes and didn't look at her: "Soldiers have intuition, I have a feeling you're up to something!"
Qiao Manman laughed heartily: "You think too highly of me!"
There was a sense of urgency, as if they were trying to cover something up.
Xia Zhao didn't expose him. She finished her meal with big bites, washed the dishes, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
The others took basins to the backyard to shower, and then came back to sleep on the floor.
Qiao Manman felt bored and went upstairs to sleep.
After lying in bed for a short while, Xia Zhao tiptoed into the room and asked cautiously, "Sister-in-law, should I sleep next to you or on the floor?"
Qiao Manman patted the person next to her, gesturing for her to lie down.
Once Xia Zhao lay down neatly beside her, Qiao Manman leaned over and pinched her arm: "Wow, it's so hard! You've been working out really hard lately!"
Xia Zhao's face flushed red and hot, thankful the lights weren't on. Her voice was muffled: "Sister-in-law, don't touch me like that!"
Qiao Manman laughed: "I just poked you, don't be so sensitive!"
"Zhao Zhao, if Lu Yuan knew you were sleeping next to me tonight, he'd be so envious!"
"I bet Deputy Regiment Commander Lu will tear me apart!"
Xia Zhao turned her head and looked into Qiao Manman's eyes in the darkness: "Sister-in-law, are you this lively when you're with Deputy Regiment Commander Lu in private?"
"It depends on the situation. When I'm in a good mood, I like to tease him, but when I'm in a bad mood, I stay silent."
Why are you suddenly asking this question?
Xia Zhao remained silent for a long time before saying, "My mother wrote to me, saying there's a nice young man back in our hometown, and she wants me to go back for a blind date!"
Qiao Manman's interest was piqued: "What do you think?"
"I...don't really want to go!"
Xia Zhao sighed: "Look at me, how could I be a wife? I'm afraid we'd start arguing as soon as we got home."
I have a loud voice and a short temper, unlike the girls in the performing arts troupe who know how to be coquettish. Besides, I love the army and don't want to be discharged just to get married!
Qiao Manman suggested, "You can find one in the team!"
"Those rough guys prefer gentle and tender girls, but I'm not like that!"
"It's not that you have to be a soldier. Someone like my uncle, who doesn't usually meet girls, is old, dull, and doesn't care about his family."
If you don't mind, talk to my uncle, or have him introduce you to someone.
This is such a perfect solution to marital problems, allowing both partners to excel in their respective fields without interfering with each other.
"Could it be that they're looking for female researchers?"
"Then it will be even busier and more tiring. I'll probably have to leave the kids at my parents' or in-laws' house and not see them for years."
"At least female soldiers have a home when they're on leave!"
Xia Zhao was somewhat tempted: "Sister-in-law, could you go back and help me make a match?"
"Okay!" Qiao Manman lay back down. "What do you think of my uncle? My grandma said he's an old bachelor at noon!"
Xia Zhao shook her head: "He's too powerful, I can't handle him. Besides, if I marry your uncle, wouldn't I be a generation above you? You don't mind?"
"Hehe, I really don't mind! If you don't like him, that's fine, I'll go back and ask him for you. But whether he's suitable or not, you'll have to consider it yourself."
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law!"
Qiao Manman murmured, "When you and Ji Ming got out of the car, I thought you two might be getting closer!"
Xia Zhao heard it, but could only pretend not to. Her heart was pounding, but quickly calmed down.
Unable to sleep, Qiao Manman sank her consciousness into her spatial dimension. She picked some fruit, read some books, and ground some medicine powder to make pills.
Once you get engrossed in something, you lose track of time, and when you're done, your whole soul feels like it's floating.
She asked the system, and it was already 10:30 outside, which meant she had been busy in the space for at least six hours.
Qiao Manman used the same trick again, giving Xia Zhao some sleeping pills, then pushing and shoving her to make sure she was asleep before slipping into her spatial dimension.
I ate something, took a walk, then brushed my teeth and took a nap.
Six hours later, Qiao Manman got up, yawning as she left the space.
It was pitch black outside. I glanced at my watch; it was one in the morning.
After casting a wall-penetrating talisman on herself and then stacking an invisibility talisman on top of it, Qiao Manman swaggered out of the room.
Barefoot, I stepped slowly and deliberately onto the cold stairs.
Even so, it woke Ji Ming, who was dozing on the sofa.
He glanced warily toward the stairs, but found nothing, his brow furrowing deeply.
Not feeling reassured, I came to check in the dark.
Qiao Manman was glad she had worn socks and hadn't left any footprints on the stairs.
Before he could get there, she tumbled down the stairs, rolled to the corner of the wall, and emerged through the wall.
Then he peered through the window and saw Ji Ming carefully check the entire staircase, confirming that there was nothing wrong, and his brows relaxed.
The others woke up the moment he got up, but they didn't make any rash moves and remained on high alert in place.
When he returned, he lowered his voice and asked, "Captain, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, I probably had a nightmare. You guys continue to rest!"
"No, let's keep watch. It'll be more reassuring if it's hard work!"
"Okay, I'll work tonight, and we'll start shift work tomorrow!"
Seeing that there was no more movement inside the house, Qiao Manman moved her feet away from the small villa and walked out through the wall.
He took out a bicycle from his spatial dimension, rode it a long way, went back into his spatial dimension, put on his sneakers, changed into a jeep, and retraced his steps.
The night was dark and quiet, and she couldn't quite remember which way to go. Fortunately, the system provided alerts, and she made it through without any major incidents.
Qiao Manman parked the car in the suburbs and had the system amplify the surrounding sounds.
In the early hours of the morning, the city is quiet at first glance, but if you listen carefully, you can only hear snoring or the sounds of people doing chores.
Qiao Manman had no intention of eavesdropping, and whenever she heard sounds that were inappropriate for children, she would quickly ignore them.
Until the voice of an interrogation echoed in her mind, Qiao Manman snapped her fingers: "Found it!"
"Host, don't get excited, it's a bit scary in the middle of the night!"
Qiao Manman quickly stood at attention and acted according to the direction in her mind.
Fifteen minutes later, Qiao Manman stood at the entrance of the police station, looking at the lights inside, hands on her hips, chuckling to herself.
Of course, she was just making a gesture. If she actually laughed out loud, it would be terrifying.
Without delay, Qiao Manman entered through the wall and searched the offices for the places where Yin Yuhan, Hua Yihai, and Huang Qin were being held.
In the dead of night, Director Yan was still working in his office. Under the dim light, Qiao Manman saw the dark circles under his eyes.
