Chapter 2038 My Grandfather is Chinese

Li Xiuli frowned and said, "As far as I know, a cargo ship would come over every two or three days to bring in supplies. At that time, the cargo ship was heavily guarded, and all of them were armed security guards."

"The backers of this institute are quite strong. Usually, not many people in Country H carry guns, but they can let their security guards carry guns, which shows how strong the backers are."

Qiao Liancheng asked: "Can we force our way in?"

Li Xiuli shook her head: "No, you don't understand the language of this country, it will be very troublesome if you force your way in."

"Whenever someone talks to you, you're exposed."

Qiao Liancheng couldn't help scratching his head: "What should I do then?"

He had to find a way to get to the island and confirm whether Jiang Wan was there.

This place is different from ordinary places, if it were anywhere else on land.

Even if it was a real island and there were no crocodiles around, Jiang Wan would be able to find a way to escape.

It can be said that the pressure on Qiao Liancheng would not be that great when he went for the rescue, but now he is under tremendous pressure.

Seeing his worried look, Li Xiuli thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you stay at my house for two nights first, and I'll contact the higher-ups to see if there's any way I can help you."

Qiao Liancheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but the problem was that it was useless for him to be anxious now, and he could only wait and see what would happen.

Li Xiuli took Qiao Liancheng back to her home, which was not far from the lake.

It took about 30 minutes to drive there. Li Xiuli's house was not very big, with 2 bedrooms and 1 living room. She changed her shoes as soon as she entered the house.

Li Xiuli asked him to sit in the living room while she went to the kitchen to cook. Soon, the food was brought up.

There was white rice and some kimchi on the table.

Li Xiuli said: "It's different here than in China. Meat has become more and more expensive in recent years. I don't have any meat stored at home."

"I have to go to the supermarket tomorrow to buy it. Because I am not well off, I have to buy discounted meat."

"Just eat a bite first."

Qiao Liancheng glanced at her, took out a gold leaf from his pocket, handed it to her and said:

"I don't have H Country's currency either. I'll give this to you to sell for money. It's my little compensation to you."

Qiao Liancheng knew very well that Li Xiuli was not actually Chinese.

It should be because they reached some kind of agreement with Yuan Xiaohua and others for some reason that they helped him, just like Guan Xinyan and Guan Rui in Hong Kong.

Li Xiuli's eyes lit up when she saw the gold leaves. Who doesn't like gold? Any normal person would treasure it, whether at home or abroad.

Because gold is hard currency, it is popular in every country.

Li Xiuli took the gold leaf and bit it with her teeth, and it was actually real.

She looked at Qiao Liancheng in shock and said, "Are people in your country so rich?"

Qiao Liancheng shook his head: "No, this gold was earned by my wife."

Li Xiuli was silent for a moment, put the things away and said, "This is your food allowance for these days at my house. Don't worry, since I promised to help you, I will definitely do my best."

At this time, the phone at her home rang. Li Xiuli smiled at Qiao Liancheng and said, "I'll go answer the phone. Please wait."

Qiao Liancheng took a look from outside and saw that their phones were quite nice, unlike those in China which were stupid and dumb. Li Xiuli came over and answered the call.

The voice was very gentle at the beginning, but gradually became higher.

I couldn't even help but curse.

At the critical moment, she angrily grabbed the phone and smashed it to the ground, cursing:

"Ashiba."

He understood this sentence.

Zhang Ping had taught him that this was an insult.

Qiao Liancheng frowned. It seemed that Li Xiuli was in trouble. After a while, Li Xiuli came back.

Sitting cross-legged in front of Qiao Liancheng.

It seemed that the emotion on her face had not yet subsided, and it took her a while to calm down.

Then he smiled at Qiao Liancheng and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. It's just some family matters."

Qiao Liancheng shook his head and asked, "Are you from country H?"

Li Xiuli nodded, and Qiao Liancheng asked again: "Then why are you so good at Chinese?"

"If I just listened to you talking, I wouldn't believe you were from Country H. I would have thought you were from China."

Li Xiuli glanced at him, pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm not afraid to tell you that my mother is Chinese."

After a pause, he added: "To be precise, my maternal grandfather's family are all Chinese. They moved here before the founding of China."

"Originally, they had some business dealings with Country H. Because of the war, they had nowhere to hide, so they simply moved here."

Qiao Liancheng asked puzzledly: "As far as I know, when the Japanese invaded, Country H also suffered greatly."

"And later when Country H fought with your neighbor, North Korea, it seemed quite chaotic."

"In this case, why don't they go back to their country?"

Qiao Liancheng knew that in the 1950s, the two countries had a serious war.

However, relatively speaking, the territory of country H should be more chaotic, just like the situation before the founding of China.

In this situation, as Chinese people, you should return to your country. Why stay here?

Li Xiuli said uncomfortably: "At that time, my grandparents had already bought property and owned a shop here. When the war broke out, they wanted to escape, but it was already impossible, so they had no choice but to stay here."

"Fortunately, those chaotic years did not have much impact on my maternal grandfather's family, and they also became prosperous later on."

"But not long after, the business failed and the money that we had earned was lost. Now we just live a normal life here, and the whole family works for others to earn money."

"I heard not long ago that there was quite a commotion in China. Although they were not invaded, the people in the country were fighting each other."

"Grandfather said that if we go back under such circumstances, we will be given an opportunity to be used against us. It is better to stay here and be quiet."

"Despite this, my grandparents still considered themselves Chinese in their hearts and taught my mother the Chinese language since she was young."

"My mother taught me after I was born. My brother and I both speak Chinese."

Lin Xiuli didn't say much, but through her vague and evasive language, Qiao Liancheng guessed roughly what she meant.

There must be connections between her maternal grandparents and China, so he didn't ask much.

He nodded and said, "In that case, please take good care of me these days."

Li Xiuli hummed: "I'll call your people and see if I can find a way to help you."

Qiao Liancheng expressed his gratitude.

When Li Xiuli went to make a phone call, she remembered that she had unplugged the phone line just now.

She sighed in exasperation and began hastily searching for the telephone line.
