Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 694 - 691 Identity

Qi Huilan felt a bit panicked, completely unaware of why the National Security Bureau would find them, but Jiang Hongtu had an inkling.

However, both husband and wife were seasoned individuals, unlike the young ones, they could remain calm.

Jiang Hongtu even casually took the docunts from Song ixian and her companion to check them carefully.

The reason for this was that the two in front of him were excessively beautiful, especially Captain Song, whose beauty was dazzling.

For National Security, this was unusual. It’s not that being too beautiful disqualified one from joining, but being too beautiful was not conducive to this line of work.

The work in National Security, generally, required not attracting attention, and soone like Song ixian would be noticeable wherever she went, which certainly didn’t et the requirents of the job.

Song ixian noticed his confusion and smiled, saying, "You can call the internal line to verify."

Every docunt had a number that could be checked through the internal line to prevent forgery.

Although Song ixian and her companion’s identities were fake, the docunts were real, so they had no fear of investigation.

Jiang Hongtu, however, did not follow the advice but returned the docunts to the two and invited them to sit down, then instructed Taozi to make tea for them.

"Okay." Taozi imdiately got up to comply.

Song ixian, who had already sat down, quickly got up and said, "No need, no need, Miss Jiang, it’s not necessary for such trouble. We’ll leave shortly after sitting."

Zhong Xiaonan, seeing Song ixian rise, also stood up, looking a bit confused.

Jiang Hongtu, seeing this, seed to understand sothing, and looked over at Qi Huilan.

Qi Huilan picked up on the cue and said, "I’ll handle it. Since Taozi hasn’t been back for long, she might not know where the tea leaves are kept."

"I know," Taozi complained.

The place where tea leaves were kept at ho was fixed, how could she not know?

But Qi Huilan seed not to hear, and walked straight towards the tea room.

"Sorry for the trouble, Aunt Qi," Song ixian said.

Hearing this address, both Jiang Hongtu and Qi Huilan were taken aback, but Qi Huilan quickly responded, "No need for formalities, guests are guests."

Jiang Hongtu turned to his daughter standing nearby and curiously asked, "Do you know Miss Zhong from before?"

Though the question seed directed at Taozi, it was truly aid at Song ixian.

Zhong Xiaonan had not uttered a word since entering, evidently deferring to Song ixian.

"Yes, Xiao Nan and Miss Jiang have t a few tis," Song ixian explained.

Taozi added, "Miss Zhong is Si Yuan’s friend."

Upon hearing this, Song ixian glanced at Zhong Xiaonan, who maintained a serene deanor, and smiled, "Xiao Nan doesn’t talk much, isn’t good at communicating, so it’s her honor to have Mr. Shen’s approval."

Zhong Xiaonan, who had remained mostly passive, slightly nodded.

Though indifferent by nature, she indeed owed much to Shen Siyuan, especially for gifting her a group of Netherworld Fire Fireflies, which significantly boosted her abilities and suited her taste.

Having listened the whole ti, Jiang Hongtu feigned ignorance and asked, "Who is Mr. Shen?"

"He’s my boyfriend."

Taozi gave her father an annoyed look, knowing he was pretending.

Song ixian also smiled and said, "Our visit today is regarding Mr. Shen. We discovered that soone has been investigating his information, triggering an anti-espionage chanism, so we’re here to look into it."

She glanced at Taozi as she spoke.

Having spoken to Shen Siyuan over the phone previously, Taozi was not surprised.

Mr. Jiang, upon hearing this, cast a glance at his daughter, sitting upright, visibly exasperated, and sighed, "It’s because we worry she might be deceived, our daughter being so naive."

Song ixian nodded in understanding.

Then she continued, "Mr. Shen’s identity is classified, so I can’t disclose specifics. If you really wish to know sothing, you could directly ask Mr. Shen."

Mr. Jiang was taken aback; if the identity was classified, even Shen Siyuan himself shouldn’t disclose it at will.

Yet the implication now was that he could freely disclose it if he wanted to.

This ant that his identity was above the confidentiality laws, not bound by them.

"Is he very special?" Jiang Hongtu instinctively asked.

Song ixian slightly nodded, then glanced at Taozi, seeing her proud expression, she realized that Taozi likely knew Shen Siyuan’s identity, which made sense since she’s his woman, so Song ixian was just confirming.

"In that case, I won’t ask further, as long as he treats our Taozi well without letting her suffer, I’m satisfied," Jiang Hongtu said.

"I can only say Mr. Shen is a good person; beyond that, it’s not my place as an outsider to comnt," Song ixian replied.

"Dad, Si Yuan treats very well; you don’t need to worry," Taozi interjected.

Just then, Qi Huilan returned with the brewed tea.

Seeing this, Song ixian gestured to Zhong Xiaonan to rise, saying, "Since everything is clear, we won’t disturb you further."

"Oh, you’re leaving already?"

Qi Huilan was surprised, having not fully grasped the situation yet.

Jiang Hongtu also stood and said, "In that case, I won’t keep you."

Seeing them ready to leave, Jiang Hongtu was relieved. Although they weren’t investigating their wrongdoing, their presence still made him uneasy.

And so, Jiang Hongtu and his wife escorted them to the door.

Once they’d left, Taozi, turning her back to them, poured herself a cup of tea and savored it.

"You troublemaker."

Jiang Hongtu approached her, raising his hand high, only to gently tap her head.

"Why did you hit ?" Taozi objected.

"Look at the trouble you’ve brought us." Jiang Hongtu responded.

"How is this my fault? You were the ones secretly investigating Si Yuan. Not getting arrested is already giving you face because of him," Taozi said smugly.

"You wretch... you wretch..."

Jiang Hongtu, at a loss for words, seethed inside.

"What’s all this about?" Qi Huilan, still puzzled, asked from the side.

After Jiang Hongtu explained, Qi Huilan’s curiosity about Shen Siyuan’s identity only deepened.

Thus, the couple turned their gaze to Taozi, sitting across from them, looking content and smug.

"Uh... Dad, this tea is nice. Could you spare a few pounds? Si Yuan likes tea."

The Jiang couple: ...

This daughter of theirs was completely soone else’s now.
