Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 2087: Chapter 2082: Testing the Waters 2

Qin Jian returned to the living room, and the topic was still being discussed.

”What’s wrong? Still haven’t figured it out?”

”No!” Zhao Dong shook his head, ”We’re not clear about this matter, so we can only speculate based on the limited information we have! If you ask us for more, we definitely don’t know.”

”That’s right! Captain, I know this matter is very confidential. But, we really want to know a little about the situation. Can you tell us what’s going on without leaking any secrets?” Ever since Tian Niu learned about this, he’s been feeling stifled.

However, he’s always been afraid to ask Qin Jian. Now that the topic’s been brought up by others, he just takes the opportunity to drink and ask about the situation.

”I can’t say any more. Although everyone here today is someone I trust, nothing that shouldn’t be said should be said at all! In these critical times, we must be extremely cautious!” Qin Jian fell silent.

”If that’s the case, then let’s not ask any more. Asking too much might not be good!” Yan Ye could understand Qin Jian’s caution at this moment. The last leak was very peculiar, so there’s nothing wrong with being a bit careful.

”Let’s drink.” An Hao brought out the last dish and said, ”Qin Jian’s really been in a bad mood lately. You’re all his friends. It’s rare for us to gather, so let’s drink till we’re out!”

”Sure.” Yan Ye agreed readily. Previously, he didn’t drink because as a doctor who had to perform surgeries and handle scalpels, drinking could impair his brain. Now that he’s a teacher, he doesn’t have to worry about that anymore.

Moreover, that utterly frustrating and unspeakable mood can be really distressing, and he’s experienced it, so he understands Qin Jian’s feelings: ”Today I’ll drink with you till we drop!”

A group of men started drinking, and soon enough, they were all tipsy, and talkative.

Qin Jian, uncharacteristically drunk, with eyes glazed over, could hardly hold his cup: ”Didn’t you guys want to know why the spy didn’t steal the whole document? I’ll tell you, the data’s incomplete! It’s to be sent in three batches! This is only the first batch! Then there’s a second batch! And a third! Understand? These data reflect the performance of a batch of weapons! Once stolen, by analyzing these data, they can know the performance and power of these weapons...”

”I see!” Tian Niu didn’t quite understand, but he at least understood why they didn’t just take the whole package.

”Because they were worried that taking the whole package would be noticed! The target’s too big!” Yan Ye analyzed, ”Actually, the other side is also afraid of startling the snake, accidentally exposing themselves!”

”Right!” Qin Jian mumbled, ”But what are they afraid of? That damn spy is like a ghost, silent and soundless, silent and soundless, who knows who he is...”

”It seems Captain Qin is really not feeling well.” Yuan Yunong, who was helping An Hao make dumplings in the kitchen, said, ”Last time I was also taken away for questioning. I didn’t understand the purpose back then, but today, after hearing what Captain Qin said, I finally get it. It’s truly frustrating! However, I believe that this matter will be resolved one day. So, Dr. An, you don’t need to worry too much.”
