Chapter 265 Which side are you on?
The meat is thick and juicy, melts in your mouth and is very fragrant.
Jiang Qilan ate two pieces in one go. He realized that he had eaten in a hurry and looked up at Cheng Ling sheepishly:
Cheng Ling has already eaten three pieces.
She was reaching for the fourth one when she caught Jiang Qilan's gaze. She stopped and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Lan? Is it not to your liking?"
——In front of her, you really never have to worry about being rude because you eat in a hurry.
"No," Jiang Qilan chuckled, and reached out to pick up a piece of meat and slightly raised it, "I want to say, this meat is really delicious!"
The two of them stopped talking and started eating seriously.
In a short time, the six dishes on the table, including the meat on hand, were all eaten.
Jiang Qilan felt that his stomach, which was originally empty, swelled with satisfaction.
Cheng Ling rang the service bell, and the waiter quickly cleared the table, made another pot of Pu'er, brought another sumptuous fruit cut, and closed the door.
They were getting down to business.
Cheng Ling relaxed his posture, leaned back on the chair, and looked straight at Jiang Qilan, "Brother Lan, you can ask me any questions you want."
Jiang Qilan nodded and raised his index finger to indicate a moment.
He took out a dark green machine box from his bag, turned on the switch, and placed it on the table.
Several red and white lights on the box flashed, and finally flashed at a steady frequency.
This is a machine that scans the house to see if there are monitors or recording devices.
Before Jiang Qilan could speak, Cheng Ling took out his cell phone and handed it to Jiang Qilan.
So familiar——
Only those who specialize in intelligence work can be so skilled.
Jiang Qilan placed his cell phone and hers next to the instrument to make sure that there was no monitoring software installed on the cell phone and that it was absolutely clean.
The reason why he was so cautious was because the confidentiality of the conversation that followed was state-level.
After making sure it was safe, Jiang Qilan sat down.
"Cheng Ling, each of the five criminals who were killed in the bombing was infiltrated by foreign forces... Our bureau's network has blocked frequent attacks from the United States in the past few days... Who are you?"
Jiang Qilan's dark eyes were locked on Cheng Ling, his expression focused and serious with a calm Ling Lie.
"Whose side are you on?"
Cheng Ling's eyes didn't dodge, and she answered him in an unusually serious tone: "I'm on the same side as you."
"As for who I am... it takes a little effort to explain," Cheng Ling said, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket and handing it over, "But before that, you need to call your father."
Jiang Qilan took the note.
It was handwritten in English and numbers. This character was quite thin and beautiful.
Jiang Qilan took a closer look, stared at the paper, and asked slightly confused: "Is this the address and phone number? Whose is it?"
Cheng Ling sat quietly on her seat, her waist straight and her posture light and stretched. She spoke clearly:
"Your mother, Ji Chengyue, will be at the house at the address written on the paper in about half an hour."
Jiang Qilan was stunned and subconsciously looked up at Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling's face was calm, and his eyes were as deep as an abyss.
——Last time, he asked her in a private house late at night in Xia Shi, "Do you know Ji Chengyue?"
At the time, her response was: "I don't remember."
Cheng Ling looked at Jiang Qilan calmly and spoke again:
"I originally wanted to wait until your mother arrived at the safe house safely before telling you about this. But I was afraid that your father and Jiang Qiyun would be too worried, so... I told you in advance."
Jiang Qilan was stunned again:
My brother actually knows about his mother's existence?
And... what does [fear them to worry] mean?
——It means that my mother was in danger during this time, but my father didn't tell me?
Jiang Qilan was going to get his phone, but stopped when his fingers touched his phone.
He looked at Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling made a "please" gesture.
Jiang Qilan picked up the phone and rummaged through his address book. Cheng Ling watched his every move and reminded him again:
"Brother Lan, please dial your mobile phone number... just in case."
This is a simple and easy way to detect whether your mobile phone is being monitored:
Under normal circumstances, when you use your mobile phone to dial your own phone number, you should see "The number you dialed is currently on a call," or a direct message that it cannot be connected.
If you call yourself and it shows the call was successful - it means your phone is being monitored.
Jiang Qilan shivered.
"I'm just impatient, thank you for reminding me."
So, he dialed his own number and said, "Hello, the number you dialed is currently on a call..."
everything is normal.
Only then did he call his father's landline.
The security of the National Security Bureau’s landline is one of the highest in China.
"Hello, hello." Jiang Zhenguo's calm voice came.
Although he saw that this was Qilan's phone number, he still followed the rules and gave a standard question.
"Dad, I'm Qilan." Jiang Qilan looked serious. "Just now...Miss Cheng Ling told me that Ms. Peace Dove is about to arrive at a safe place...so don't worry."
Father Jiang was silent for at least ten seconds.
Then, he spoke, his tone suddenly sharp and full of the pressure of a superior: "Is she one of ours?"
Not as a father, but as a guardian of the country.
"She said yes," Jiang Qilan clenched his phone tightly, his tone solemn, "and I also choose to believe her."
This time, Jiang's father did not pause.
"Thank Miss Cheng for telling me."
My wife is safe.
Jiang's father felt that the stone pressing on his heart disappeared.
His tone was a little lighter: "What delicious food did you eat? Pack it up and bring it back for me later."
