Chapter 2485 Beware of eavesdroppers

Chapter 2485

Hai Jian nodded, then shook his head.

He pursed his lips and walked over, wanting to say something.

Suddenly, Qiao Ya held up a finger and waved it in front of him, meaning: Don't say it!

Looking at Hai Jing suspiciously, Qiao Ya pointed to the door and then to the wall on the other side, making a gesture.

Haijing understood; Qiaoya was telling him to be careful, as walls have ears.

Hai Jing hesitated for a moment, then moved closer and sat down beside her, pulling Qiao Ya into his lap, and whispered in her ear:

"They probably won't hear me if I say it like that, right?"

The hot breath sprayed onto Qiao Ya's earlobe, making her heart flutter, as if something was growing inside her and then spreading.

It made her feel unwell, and her limbs felt incredibly weak.

He gave a muffled "hmm," then quickly turned his head away, deliberately avoiding Hai Jing's mouth.

She was afraid that his hot breath would hit her ear again, causing that shy, fluttering feeling.

However, Haijing really had something to tell her, and he wouldn't allow her to escape. He pulled her back with force.

Qiao Ya sighed dejectedly and said, "You can just say it directly."

Hai Jing recounted in a low voice what had happened in the secret room. When he mentioned that the person was named Liu Sheng, Qiao Ya's eyes widened immediately.

She straightened up and turned to look at the sea view in disbelief, saying, "You mean..."

"The person you saw is called Liu Sheng?"

Hai Jing nodded and asked in a low voice, "Do you know Mr. Liu?"

Qiao Ya hummed in agreement, then, as if remembering something, she pushed aside the sea view and hurriedly rummaged through her drawer.

He quickly found a photo album, then pointed to a picture and said:

"Is it this person?"

The photo shows a young man holding her; Joan was about four or five years old at the time.

Hai Jing looked at him and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's him."

At that moment, he understood that this Liu Sheng must be someone Qiao Ya knew.

The man said he was the confidant, driver, and bodyguard of the Qiao family patriarch, and it seems that this is true.

Moreover, this person must have watched Qiao Ya grow up, so this person should be a true confidant of the Qiao family head.

It got dark quickly, and Qiao Ya and Hai Jing wanted to go directly to the port to share information with Jiang Wan and the others.

He went out for a walk and learned from the servants that the master of the house was having a banquet that evening, and that the banquet was quite important.

In order to introduce the people at the banquet to Qiao Xinran, he took Qiao Xinran and left home at 6 o'clock.

So he won't be back before 11 or 12 at night.

This made Qiao Ya and Hai Jing very satisfied.

The two of them grabbed two servants who had just changed shifts, knocked them unconscious, and then dressed them in their clothes.

Following the method Li Banxia had taught him for making human skin masks, Hai Jing quickly made two human skin masks and pasted them on his and Qiao Ya's faces.

After knocking the two men unconscious, they put them in the cabinet. The two men then swaggered out, pretending to be servants, and left the Qiao family home.

Halfway there, Haijing cautioned, "Although this mask is made very quickly, it's made with starch and some gelatin."

"One drawback is that it is afraid of water; it must never get wet."

"It will melt when it comes into contact with water, and the human skin mask will become neither human nor ghost, and look particularly scary."

Joa nodded to indicate that she understood.

After the two got into the car, they drove at breakneck speed towards the port. By the time they arrived at the port, it was already 7:30 p.m.

Qiao Liancheng and Jiang Wan were already waiting here.

In addition, Hai Rongtian also came over.

The group gathered together and began to share the news they had received.

Hai Jing spoke first: "I found a man in the Qiao family's secret room. He has been tortured for three years and is about to die."

"I fed him the medicine that Li Banxia gave me, which is how he survived."

"But what will happen next is unclear. He gave me some information. He said that the real head of the Qiao family has not been captured, nor is he dead."

"He did hide. But only he knows where he's hiding. He sent me the clues in Morse code."

"But I didn't translate it."

Everyone looked at him in confusion, and Qiao Liancheng said, "You are also an officer in the army. You are very familiar with Morse code, how could you not be able to translate it?"

Hai Jing said dejectedly, "That's the problem. The Morse code he gave me seems incomplete; there's a part that I really can't translate."

"I'm not sure if it was because his injury was too severe that he couldn't express it accurately, or if the Morse code he used back then was different from the way it is now."

Jiang Wan stroked her chin and remained silent.

When Qiao Liancheng and Hai Jing talked about Morse code, Jiang Wan's expression remained calm.

While everyone was at a loss, unsure of where the problem lay, Jiang Wan calmly said:

"You should ask Yuan Xiaohua about this."

Everyone looked at her, and Jiang Wan said indifferently, "Because the Morse code provided by Yuan Xiaohua is different."

“The military’s code and the code used by the National Security Agency will be slightly different, after all, not all military units and relevant authorities can use the same Morse code.”

"If the password is intercepted by the enemy, wouldn't the secrets be stolen very quickly?"

"This thing also needs to be locked; the way the password is represented and the translation are different."

Jiang Wan's reminder made everyone understand.

Haijing also said, "I feel it; he must be the same as me."

"When they heard that I was a Chinese military officer, they immediately dropped their guard and told me everything."

"He also said that he has been keeping this secret for many years because he was worried that if the secret could not be transmitted, the head of the Qiao family would not be able to return."

"But I didn't dare to tell anyone, for fear that I would be silenced."

At this point, everyone fell silent.

My heart is filled with sorrow.

This is a hero. He's been an undercover agent for so long and been tortured for so long. He's probably had enough of living.

If it weren't for his strong belief, he wouldn't have been able to persevere until now.

Jiang Wan then said, "Since this person is one of ours, we should find a way to rescue him. The head of the Qiao family should still be in Hong Kong, but he's hiding."

"Now that he has provided a clue, we can try to find it."

Hai Rongtian frowned and said, "What if we save the wrong person if we don't confirm their identity?"

Jiang Wan shook her head:

"We must rescue this person, regardless of whether he is from the Qiao family or one of our own."

"Since he was locked in the secret room and tortured for so long, it is enough to prove that he is not in cahoots with that fake Qiao family head."

"Therefore, we must save them."

Qiao Ya nodded and said, "Yes, when Hai Jing came back and told me that this person was Liu Sheng, I decided to save him."
