Looking at the children’s reactions, Qiu Tong did not probe further into the discrepancies with Song Yan.
Qiu Xingyu clung onto Song Yan and refused to let go. Song Yan’s attitude was a little distant, but he reluctantly played with her for a while to humor her. He then told a convenient lie and found an excuse to leave the villa.
Qiu Tong was tidying the utensils in the kitchen. She looked at the bubbles in the sink and recalled the two strange events that had happened in succession. She felt that something was amiss.
There were times when Song Yan’s behavior and attitude changed. Qiu Tong narrowed her eyes and recalled the information she had previously gathered.
“Are they not the same person?”
Qiu Tong frowned and turned off the tap. She wiped her foamy hands and took out her phone to search for news about the capital’s official residence.
Song Yan and Jin Yang were twins. They looked so similar that ordinary people could not tell the difference.
Qiu Tong’s suspicions intensified. “Could he be Jin Yang?”
The screen of her phone lit up. Qiu Tong tilted her head and looked at the news released by the government’s official website regarding the various disasters. She read out a few lines. “The president is extremely concerned about the situation of the people suffering from disasters everywhere. He will hold a special video conference with the officials in the official residence to discuss how to reduce the losses of the people…”
Did this news mean that Jin Yang had never left the official residence of the capital?
Qiu Tong looked out the window at the white clouds. She shook her head, wanting to shake off the ridiculous and complicated thoughts. She once again dispelled her suspicions about her identity.
In the official residence of the capital, Shao An had been busy for several nights without even time for sleep. He dispatched Jin Yang’s instructions batch by batch.
“When will the president return?”
Shao An scratched his head. He had been so anxious recently that his body was nearly glowing red. He said, “Not just anyone can do the president’s job!”
He had only been helping to cover for Jin Yang over the past few days, but Shao An was already exhausted with dark eye circles.
…
In S City, Qiu Tong recalled the prison riot and became increasingly worried about Qiu Rong’s safety.
She remembered that the warden had once mentioned that she could pay money to reduce Qiu Rong’s sentence. Qiu Tong took out a bank card and a few checks from her drawer. After calculating her current savings, she muttered with a worried expression, “I still have to earn more money.”
The children and Qiu Rong needed money. Qiu Tong went to the study and logged on to the Dark Web via the computer, wanting to see if there were any suitable missions to take on.
Qiu Tong filtered the missions according to her own situation and quickly found an employer who claimed to be a government official looking for a skilled fighter.
“What are the specific requirements for the mission?”
Qiu Tong tapped lightly on the keyboard, but the other party did not answer her directly. Instead, he asked her a few basic questions.
A few lines of text appeared in the chat box. “We want to capture a criminal alive.”
“If you can do it, the remuneration will definitely satisfy you.”
The other party confirmed that Qiu Tong’s ability was sufficient for the mission before giving her a contact number and then immediately exited the Dark Web.
Qiu Tong noted down the number with raised eyebrows. “He’s quite cautious.”
She dialed the number and after the call went through, the other party said bluntly, “The person you need to capture is called Qiu Tong.”
“She lives in a wealthy villa district. It’s best if you can capture her within two days. Remember not to let her die…”
Qiu Tong looked at her own face in the mirror and smiled in surprise and amusement.
This mission was a godsend!
