Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Capítulo 2101: Chapter 2096: Calm Down

Three days later, as per the original plan, Qin Jian orchestrated the second outing to deliver the data.

Along the way, he was extremely cautious.

This time, he wasn’t alone. A few ordinary cars were neither too far nor too close, trailing behind the military vehicle, and inside them were their own people.

It was the few people Qin Jian deemed most reliable: Tian Niu, Zhao Dong, and a few young warriors.

To catch this invisible person among them, they maintained high mental tension and concentration.

However, this trip was deeply disappointing.

From the trip to the armory to Qin Jian’s departure, everything went smoothly without a trace of any clue.

Upon returning to the base, it was truly empty, with no gains whatsoever.

This truly angered Qin Jian a bit.

Now he was genuinely unclear if the opponent was afraid of falling into their trap or if their previous speculation that Yuan Yunong wasn’t a spy was correct?

Back in the office, Qin Jian took off his military cap and loosened the tightly fastened collar. He walked to the table, picked up the mug, and drank the cold water in big gulps.

“Hey, Captain, aren’t you afraid of a stomach ache?” Zhao Dong looked at the captain drinking cold water in winter and felt a chill himself.

“Just cooling off!” Qin Jian said.

“Isn’t this too strange? Do you think it could be encountering a ghost?” Tian Niu asked, his voice deep and muffled.

“A ghost? I think bumping into you is more like it!” Qin Jian, already angry, couldn’t help but shout at Tian Niu for his dim analysis.

Zhao Dong picked up a teacup, pinched a bit of the tea Qin Jian usually brewed, and poured himself a cup with the boiling water from the thermos: “Captain, just cool off! This matter is truly outrageously strange!”

“Strange? Strange or not, someone is doing it deliberately!” Qin Jian said, hands behind his back, looking at the gloomy sky outside, “There must be some clues that we haven’t unearthed! I must continue to strive to dig them out!”

“Captain, do you have any suspects? If not, we can help you keep an eye out?” Zhao Dong said.

“No need. I’m not even sure myself now. Even if there are suspects, we can’t monitor them! To avoid alerting them! The spy I’m dealing with isn’t just any ordinary spy! The opponent’s skills are not just one level higher than Hong Mei’s!” Qin Jian said.

“We might not be able to help you with this!” Tian Niu said, very frustrated, “A lot of specific situations we don’t know, and there are many secrets involved! Captain, it seems like you have to save yourself.”

Qin Jian nodded: “Thank you all for today! Go back, and take care of what you need to do!”

“Yes!” Tian Niu stood up and saluted, ready to leave, but he saw Zhao Dong hadn’t moved for a while and said, “Zhao Dong, why aren’t you leaving?”

Zhao Dong chuckled twice: “Captain Tian, you go ahead! I have some matters in the company to discuss with the Captain!”

“Alright. Go ahead and discuss! I’m heading out!” As there were still matters in the camp, Tian Niu left first.

After Tian Niu left, Qin Jian turned around and saw Zhao Dong still standing behind him, chuckling foolishly: “What are you giggling about? Didn’t you say you had something to discuss? What do you want to discuss with me?”
