Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 2089: Chapter 2084: Quite the Performance

The dining table was a mess after An Hao finished eating, and if she cleaned it up herself, it would take a long time.

Gu Shuangshuang wanted to help her clean up, but An Hao refused: ”You all should leave first! Nannan is already sleepy, and Tian Niu is dizzy from drinking! Just head back, and be careful on the way.”

”Alright then, I won’t help you.”

Yan Ye noticed it was getting late, so he got up to say goodbye as he still needed to pick up Lin Qiushu and take her home.

Yuan Yunong stayed behind to help An Hao clean up, but Zhao Dong was clamoring to leave. Yet, he was wobbling and unsteady, so An Hao was worried he’d fall.

Reluctantly, she had to ask Yuan Yunong to escort Zhao Dong home.

Once everyone left the house, it suddenly became quiet.

The two little ones had fallen asleep on the sofa, exhausted, which finally gave An Hao some time to take care of her children.

Just as she was about to carry them to the bedroom, Qin Jian pushed open the door and came out. His gaze was clear, and he walked steadily, not at all like someone who had drunk too much.

”The kids are asleep?” Qin Jian squatted down, picked up one of the kids, and headed to the bedroom.

An Hao followed, holding the other child.

They gently placed the children on the bed and took off their clothes. An Hao dampened a towel with warm water to wipe the children’s faces.

”Couldn’t tell, but your act of being drunk was quite convincing.” An Hao smiled gently as she wiped the child’s face.

”Never eaten pork, but have seen pigs run, right?” Qin Jian laughed.

His alcohol tolerance was very high, so it wasn’t easy for him to get drunk.

Many people had drunk with him, but aside from his wife An Hao, no one could outlast him.

So, having witnessed people in various states of drunkenness, from tipsy to completely wasted, he saw through it all, making it easy for him to fake being drunk.

”Your performance was good. The intelligence has been disseminated; we’ll see in three days if anyone takes action!” An Hao said, then looked at Qin Jian with some uncertainty, ”Do you think we’ll gain anything?”

After all, everyone in the room heard the information, and only Yuan Yunong wasn’t a soldier.

She seemed quite smart and knew when to advance or retreat. With such an obvious signal released, would the other side notice?

”There will be results,” Qin Jian said confidently. ”This spy’s infiltration has a very clear purpose of stealing data on the zero-number weapon! Or anything related to zero-number. This is already the second batch in a cycle of three, and I don’t believe they would give up the second set of data without taking action!”

”If they really take action, it means there’s definitely a spy among us tonight. If you had to suspect someone, who would be the first person you’d suspect?” An Hao asked.

”Of course, it’s Yuan Yunong!”

”Exactly! Do you still think Yuan Yunong will take action?” An Hao asked.

Wouldn’t that mean directly exposing her identity?

”Yes. Even if it means exposure. You merely suspect! In the current legal society, you must adhere to the law! It’s not like you can arrest or even execute someone just because you suspect them! That’s impossible! Everything has to be based on evidence!” Qin Jian said.

”If the other side doesn’t leave any evidence, we can’t catch her, can we?” An Hao sighed deeply, ”If Yuan Yunong is a spy, I feel she will be much harder to deal with than Hong Mei!”
