Chapter 214: Come Out!

After Zhang Tianrui left, Zhang Feng walked over, looked at An Yinan's weary face, and asked, "Did something happen? Is there anything I can help with?"

An Yinan looked at Zhang Feng and shook her head, "The mountain wind blows before the storm arrives; it's nothing."

Professor Zhang sighed, then carefully tore a strip of paper from his notebook, "This is my phone number; if you need help, contact me at any time."

An Yinan nodded, moved. This was just the beginning; every one of the bigwigs who had attended the first session left their phone numbers, and they didn't ask a single thing.

Until the last person left, An Yinan looked at the stack of paper slips in her hand, each one bearing a name followed by a phone number.

She solemnly organized these slips neatly, and then the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl upward; it was truly good.

Yun Shu drove An Yinan back to Liu Jiumu's house and saw another military jeep.

Yun Shu whispered, "Military District plates."

The two knocked on the door, and it was Liu Jiumu who opened it, "You're back?"

"Yes, how is Big Aunt? Has she woken up?" An Yinan asked, just like an ordinary child concerned about an adult.

Liu Jiumu reacted quickly, nodding hurriedly with a look of worry on her face.

The three walked into the courtyard, and Liu Jiumu said helplessly, "Can you give a hint next time? I almost couldn't keep up with your train of thought."

An Yinan didn't speak, but pointed toward the courtyard.

The three walked to the inner courtyard before An Yinan sighed.

Yun Shu explained, "Someone was watching this place from the alley today."

Someone was watching this place...

"People from that side?" Liu Jiumu asked.

An Yinan pinched the bridge of her nose to perk herself up, "I'm not sure. Don't worry about them; Big Uncle will keep an eye on it."

The two of them had a clear division of labor: Big Uncle would watch the people outside, and she needed to attend to matters inside the courtyard.

Perhaps it was the silent tacit understanding between an uncle and his niece.

"Sister-in-law," Qin Hao said when he saw An Yinan.

An Yinan waved her hand, "Sorry to trouble you."

Qin Hao grinned, "How about three meals?"

Chen Xun treated his wife like a treasure and couldn't bear to let her cook; if it weren't for him and Zhang Qian shamelessly going over last time, he probably wouldn't have been able to eat food made by his sister-in-law in this lifetime.

But that culinary skill—after eating it once, one really gets addicted.

Going back to eating at the cafeteria afterwards was truly tasteless.

An Yinan looked at the expression on his face, which was the same as Zhang Qian's, and said helplessly, "Whenever you're craving it, go pester Chen Xun."

Qin Hao hurriedly waved his hands, "Sister-in-law, we wouldn't dare. That guy really plays dirty! Zhang Qian can take a beating, but my small frame can't."

"Three meals?" As he spoke, he held up three fingers.

Looking at Qin Hao, who was being so cautious just for a bite to eat, was he also a closet foodie?

"Fine, when you want to eat, come over with Zhang Qian," An Yinan agreed.

Qin Hao's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected that helping the Chief would result in such a benefit.

It was worth it!

Liu Jiumu was confused and looked at Liu Xicai, "Is Nan Nan's cooking that good?"

Liu Xicai nodded, "Except for Big Sister-in-law's cooking, Nan Nan's is definitely the best, and each has its own merits."

An Yinan put on a proud little expression and said with her little mouth, "Oh my, keep praising me, harder, I can take it."

Amidst the chuckling gazes, she waved her hand and went back into the room.

She needed to remove her makeup! Having such thick powder caked on her face was truly uncomfortable.

After removing her makeup, she walked out of the room looking refreshed, "Liu Jiumu, I might need to catch up on sleep; don't call me at noon."

Liu Xicai frowned, "Go get some sleep quickly."

She had seen the bloodshot eyes of this girl; she had probably pulled another all-nighter yesterday.

For a moment, everyone's movements slowed down.

Meanwhile, at the Beijing Military District, Yun Fei was looking at the documents on the table, which contained investigations into Liu Liu and Big Aunt's maiden family.

Finally, Yun Fei's gaze settled on one name: Wei Qing.

People from the Wei Family?

Yun Fei quickly connected a call, "Investigate Wei Qing and the recent movements of the Wei Family."

Big Aunt's maiden family had no reason to frame the Liu Family, unless there were higher interests involved.

But their circle was very small, and in recent years, even Big Aunt didn't interact with her maiden family; the only thing that could cause this change was external factors.

Why would the Wei Family want to harm the Liu Family? The Wei Family were also people from the Dayuan, but unlike the Yun Family, they didn't belong to the Military District Compound, but another one.

The old man of the Wei Family had passed away three years ago, and the Wei Family was sliding downhill step by step.

Just as An Yinan was half-asleep, the door outside was knocked upon.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The unceremonious knocking made An Yinan narrow her eyes slightly; she hadn't slept for a day and a night, had spent the morning staring at the classroom, and had finally managed to get some sleep in the afternoon.

She raised her hand to check her watch—three in the afternoon; she had slept for less than two hours.

"What are you doing? This is my home; you are not welcome here, get out!" Liu Jiumu's voice came from outside.

An Yinan rubbed her temples, got out of bed with agile movements, simply smoothed her hair, and pushed open the door.

Big Aunt was already standing in the courtyard, "They're here?"

An Yinan didn't stop rubbing her temples; her head was throbbing with a bloated pain.

"It should be," An Yinan replied, then said to Liu Xicai, "Big Aunt, you go lie down in the room first; don't worry about what's outside."

They had stayed behind this time using the excuse that Big Aunt was ill; no matter who was on the other side, they couldn't let anyone find a fault.

Liu Xicai was very worried, but she still obediently returned to the room; Qin Hao, who had been guarding the courtyard, looked at An Yinan, feeling that this smiling sister-in-law was not simple.

The icy aura around his body was like the snow in the Northeast Camp that never melted all year round, capable of freezing a person to death.

Arriving at the front courtyard, she saw more than ten people currently being blocked at the entrance by Liu Jiumu.

"We received a report, this is a routine search, move aside." The person in the lead looked at Liu Jiumu with a gloomy expression.

Liu Jiumu was somewhat anxious, unsure if these people were carrying anything on them, and as a woman, she could only block these people at the entrance, not daring to let them in for fear that they would take something and frame her family.

The person in the lead narrowed his eyes, and just as he was about to reach out to push aside the person obstructing their search, he heard a sharp shout, "Stop."

An Yinan had arrived.

Liu Jiumu unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

The corners of An Yinan's mouth curled up slightly, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

"Where are you people from? Our Liu Family residence is not something that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can search." An Yinan looked to be smiling brightly, but the words she spoke showed no mercy at all.

The person in the lead looked at An Yinan; in the information he had received, it seemed there was no such person in the Liu Family.

The person behind him sneered, "Brothers, there is actually someone who doesn't know us?"

"Open your dog ears and listen well, we are the Red Guards!"

"Hahaha..." The group of people who had come laughed ostentatiously one after another.
