Chapter 212: Not Really? Not Really?
Yun Fei walked in with big strides, followed by a familiar figure: Qin Hao!
"It's you?" An Yinan had not expected that the person trusted by her eldest uncle would actually be him.
Moreover, there really was a feeling of traveling through time and space.
How could someone who was originally in the Northeast Military Region be here?
Qin Hao, who had entered the room, was also stunned for a moment. Yun Fei smiled, "It seems I don't need to introduce you two."
"No need. That kid Chen Xun's wife—he mentions her every single day, Sister-in-law." Qin Hao smiled and nodded, which counted as a greeting.
Although An Yinan came from the modern era, her ears still turned red, yet she greeted him in a generous and natural manner.
"Then I should still introduce you!" Yun Fei thought for a moment and said.
"An Yinan, my niece," Yun Fei introduced. He never wanted to hide An Yinan's identity; she was a girl of the Yun Family and should naturally be acknowledged.
At this, Qin Hao widened his eyes, "No way, right?"
The Chief's niece? Then how did she end up going to the countryside? Was she not valued by the Yun Family? But looking at the Chief, it didn't seem like it?
Seeing Qin Hao's expression, An Yinan could even analyze his train of thought...
"I didn't know my identity before I went to the countryside; my eldest uncle and the others only found me later," she kindly explained.
Qin Hao rubbed his nose, clearing the useless thoughts from his brain.
No way? No way?
"Chief, where is the patient?" As soon as Qin Hao came in, he had been interrupted by Yun Fei and An Yinan, and had almost forgotten the purpose of coming here.
Yun Fei said first, "Sit down first."
"The situation is like this..." Yun Fei gave a rough overview of the situation and also told him the reason for seeking him out.
"This matter involves too much. I don't trust any of the doctors in Beijing, so I could only find you."
Yun Fei sighed without exerting any pressure, "If you don't want to get involved, I can find someone else."
Qin Hao thought for a long time before speaking, "You trust me, and I trust you. I will cooperate."
Everything stemmed from his belief in the Yun Family's character, and the Chief had also explained the matter clearly without any concealment.
Yun Fei had only omitted An Yinan's role in this matter for fear of attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives; everything else was stated very clearly.
An Yinan's identity was special and carried a security clearance, so the Compilation Bureau protected her very well.
Furthermore, whether it was Chen Xun's identity or An Yinan's, it was not appropriate to disclose them, as it would bring them danger.
"I will return to the Military District with you in a while, and people will be arranged to protect you," Yun Fei said.
Since Qin Hao was participating in this matter, he had to protect Qin Hao's safety; no one knew where the people behind this would choose to break through once they were desperate.
"The people protecting you do not mean to monitor you," Yun Fei pointed out specifically so that Qin Hao would not have any hard feelings.
Moreover, if the people behind the scenes wanted to gather information, they would have to come to Qin Hao in person; whether it was the people behind it or others, they would be able to obtain clues.
Qin Hao naturally understood the importance of this matter, "I know. I will be extra careful these days. If anyone asks indirectly, I will record it down."
Yun Fei and Qin Hao discussed the details for a long time. During this period, An Yinan just listened quietly, appearing as if she were not participating at all.
One hour later, Yun Fei and Qin Hao headed to the Beijing Military Region together.
In this courtyard, the three of them were left behind, but now the hearts of all three had settled down.
The panic and helplessness of having just learned the news were gone.
"How should we handle these things?" Liu Xicai frowned and looked at An Yinan.
Others might not know, but the three of them knew that the main leader of this matter was not Yun Fei, but this young girl.
An Yinan poked her glabella; she had overused her brain today, and her mind felt muddled.
"Liu Jiumu, can you safely leave these to me?" An Yinan asked.
Whether Yun Fei took them away or they were burned here, it would give information to the people outside.
After thinking it over, she decided only her space was the safest. Years later, after this matter had passed, she could still return the items to Liu Jiujiu and Liu Jiumu.
Liu Jiumu nodded quickly, "Naturally, I trust you."
If An Yinan hadn't come along today and immediately realized the severity of the situation, where would the Liu Family be in the future?
Even Xicai would likely have been implicated by her maiden family.
Then their Liu Family would truly be finished.
"Liu Jiumu, please send these things to my room in a while. I will have someone take them away tonight," An Yinan explained.
Because the trigger was Liu Xicai's illness, it was not suitable for Liu Xicai to show her face. As her niece, she naturally had to take care of her at all times. If they wanted to lure out the people behind the scenes, everything they did had to be logical; even the slightest abnormality might alert the enemy.
Liu Jiumu had arranged a room for them, and the room had already been cleaned.
Liu Jiumu nodded quickly, "Alright, but will this have any impact on you?"
After this incident, Liu Jiumu had also been frightened, but she absolutely did not want to affect An Yinan because of her own family's affairs.
If her own family's affairs caused others to be burdened, then it would be better to...
An Yinan shook her head, "It won't. My people will handle it cleanly."
Liu Xicai and Liu Jiumu both thought of that silent phone call, and Liu Xicai also thought of Yun Mo and Yun Shu guarding outside.
Only then did she nod to her eldest sister-in-law, letting her feel at ease.
"Then I will send them over now. I'll go buy some groceries in a while and make you something good tonight," Liu Jiumu said gently.
This day had been busy, with matters turning around several times.
Liu Jiumu forced herself to keep her spirits up, wanting to cook some good food to reward An Yinan.
Unexpectedly, An Yinan refused, only asking her to boil a pot of white porridge so everyone could just make do with a bite.
In truth, with such a big thing happening, who could have an appetite?
Liu Xicai was afraid Liu Jiumu would overthink things, so she insisted on sleeping with Liu Jiumu that night.
An Yinan returned to her room, first putting all the items into her space, then taking out tomorrow's lecture notes to smooth out the details, and then taking out the documents that needed to be translated...
Early the next morning, An Yinan spent a full half-hour fussing in her room, and when she stepped out, she gave Liu Xicai a start.
"Didn't sleep well? Were you scared yesterday?" Liu Xicai asked.
The young girl's usually translucent skin was now deathly pale, her eyes were ringed with heavy dark circles, and she lacked her usual vitality and spirit; if one had to use a metaphor, she looked like an eggplant hit by frost.
An Yinan shook her head, "I'm going to Qingmu University today; if I looked glowing and radiant, who would believe our story?"
Liu Xicai leaned in closer to take a look, "Fake?"
An Yinan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Fake!"
Liu Xicai finally breathed a sigh of relief; she had been truly afraid that the young girl had been frightened, for although she was wise enough to be near-demonic, she was still not yet twenty years old.
