Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

"Rongbing, didn't you say Yang Yunxia left around 1 p.m.? It's already 2 p.m., why hasn't she come out yet?"

Pei Shizhou anxiously peered through the gap in the curtains with his binoculars, but Yang Yunxia didn't come out for a long time, and he became a little worried.

"I don't know. She did leave around 1:30 or 1:40 a.m. a few days ago. Could someone have found out that she went to her house?"

Yu Rongbing frowned and said, "It's not that I don't believe in Pei Shizhou's abilities. I've dealt with spies before and know how cunning and cautious they are; you can be discovered by them if you're not careful."

"Probably not. I wiped all traces clean when I left, and I didn't even go into her room."

When Pei Shizhou noticed something amiss with Yang Yunxia's room door, he dared not make any rash moves and immediately withdrew.

"Brother Pei, she's out."

Yu Rongbing gently reminded him, and Pei Shizhou immediately raised his binoculars to observe again. He saw Yang Yunxia carrying a bag, walking out of the door with a calm expression, looking much the same as usual.

"Rongbing, follow her later, but be careful. If things look wrong, don't follow her, come back immediately. Safety first, understand?"

Pei Shizhou solemnly instructed Yu Rongbing that if Yang Yunxia was a spy, then it was very likely that Yang Yunxia already knew about his previous arrangement to have that person keep an eye on her.

Perhaps Yang Yunxia now knows that they are watching her. Pei Shizhou is worried about Yu Rongbing, afraid that Yang Yunxia might do something desperate, and also afraid that she might have a gun.

"Brother Pei, I understand."

"Be careful, don't get too close."

Yu Rongbing nodded and left. Pei Shizhou went to the room to wake Lin Xingyuan. He hadn't slept all night and had just gone to bed.

"Big brother, wake up."

Lin Xingyuan opened his eyes and asked, "Has Yang Yunxia left?"

"Yes, get up and wash your face first, then go and keep watch nearby as you did this morning. If anything happens, notify me immediately using our code."

Upon hearing that Yang Yunxia had left, Lin Xingyuan roused himself and quickly got up.

"it is good"

Lin Xingyuan went to wash his face, while Pei Shizhou took his binoculars and observed from the window.

Lin Xingyuan walked over with his face covered in water. He didn't use a towel to wash his face, but instead scooped up water with his hands to wash it.

"Shizhou, I'm all better now, can we go?"

"Okay, brother, take care of yourself."

Pei Shizhou added a worried note: if something happened to Lin Xingyuan while he was here, he wouldn't know how to explain it to Xia Yichu.

"You be careful too."

Because it involved spies, everyone was extremely cautious. Lin Xingyuan went out first. Pei Shizhou then headed towards Yang Yunxia's house, even more cautious than in the morning.

Trying not to leave any trace, he glanced left and right and carefully climbed through the window.

He was very careful with every step he took, until he reached the door of Yang Yunxia's room.

Sure enough, he saw that strand of hair stuck in the door frame again, seemingly in the same spot as this morning. Actually, no; a closer look revealed it was slightly to the right. Pei Shizhou didn't open the door, but instead climbed out the window and left.

"Brother, you stay here and keep watch. I have something to report to the superior. Be careful, and wait for me to come back if anything happens. Don't act on your own."

Judging from Pei Shizhou's expression, Lin Xingyuan had a hunch. It seemed that Yang Yunxia was most likely connected to spies. He patted Pei Shizhou on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things here."

Pei Shizhou hurriedly left and reported the situation to his superior in detail. After listening, the superior frowned.

"Shizhou, this matter is of utmost importance. Go and keep an eye on Yang Yunxia. Make sure you keep a close watch on her. I'll report to my superiors and then immediately arrange for reliable people to prepare to arrest Yang Yunxia."

The leadership took this matter very seriously, adopting a "better to arrest the wrong person than let one go" attitude. They understood Pei Shizhou's capabilities and wanted his cooperation in making the arrest.

"Yes, I'll go back and keep an eye on Yang Yunxia."

Pei Shizhou was also worried that Yang Yunxia would escape, so he turned to leave.

"Shi Zhou, wait a minute. Before we catch Yang Yunxia, ​​we absolutely cannot let a fourth person know, especially the Xia family."

Yang Yunxia is, after all, Xia Zhiheng's biological mother. The leader wasn't suspicious of Xia Zhiheng, but rather worried that he might reveal something and allow Yang Yunxia to escape.

"Okay, I understand."

"Also, go back and search Yang Yunxia's room. If you find any weapons, take them immediately. Be careful. Wait here for me while I go and apply for a handgun for you."

The leader dared not be careless in the face of Yang Yunxia, ​​who could be a spy. A few minutes later, he came over with two pistols in his hand.

"Shizhou, here you are. The three of you must be careful. I'll arrange for someone to come and support you as soon as I've made the necessary arrangements."

After receiving the order, Pei Shizhou quickly returned to the vicinity of Yang Yunxia's home. He met up with Lin Xingyuan and explained the leader's arrangements.

"Brother, you go and keep watch for me. I'll go again. If Yang Yunxia returns in the meantime, we can arrest her while ensuring the safety of the people. Take this, and be careful."

"Shizhou, I don't need it, you keep it."

Lin Xingyuan thought he only had one pistol, so he didn't take it and wanted Pei Shizhou to keep it for himself.

"Brother, I have some. Take it quickly, or Yang Yunxia will be back soon."

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou carefully climbed through the window again and entered the house. This time, Pei Shizhou did not hesitate and gently pushed open the door marked with a hair clip.

The room was furnished simply, with nothing particularly unusual. Pei Shizhou began a thorough search, leaving no corner unchecked.

He tapped and banged on the wall and the wardrobe. Suddenly, Pei Shizhou noticed that there was a spot on the wardrobe that made a distinctly wrong sound when he tapped on it.

Pei Shizhou was overjoyed. He moved the wardrobe with force and discovered a small hidden compartment behind it. He slowly opened the compartment, but to his disappointment, it contained only some money and jewelry. There were probably several thousand yuan in money, along with a bankbook and some photos.

Pei Shizhou picked up the photos and looked at them. Surprisingly, there were photos of his mother, Feng Yarou, and Pei Feng in them. There were quite a few photos, roughly twenty or thirty at a glance.

Time was short, so he couldn't inspect everything carefully. He took all the items inside. After thoroughly checking the rest of the room and confirming there were no problems, Pei Shizhou quickly put the wardrobe back in its place.

He only searched the first floor; he didn't go up to the second or third floor. He knew that the upper two floors were Xia Zhiqian and Xia Zhiheng's rooms, but he didn't have time to go up there anyway, as it was already almost five o'clock.

Yang Yunxia was almost home, and he had to leave before she did. Pei Shizhou climbed out of the window and met up with Lin Xingyuan.

"Big brother, I found these things in the hidden compartment, these photos. This is my mother, and these are Pei Feng and Feng Yarou."

Pei Shizhou handed the photo to Lin Xingyuan, pointed to the people in the photo and introduced them to Lin Xingyuan, and also told him about Pei Feng and Feng Yarou's relationship with him.

"I haven't looked at the passbook yet, so I don't know if there's any money in it."

After finishing speaking, Pei Shizhou picked up the bankbook and started looking at it. Pei Shizhou had previously heard Xia Yichu mention that Yang Yunxia was broke and had been reduced to renting out her apartment.

Looking at her now, Yang Yunxia doesn't seem like someone who's poor at all. If she sold all that jewelry, she could easily earn at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.

"It seems Yang Yunxia is no ordinary person. These photos are clearly taken secretly. But why would Yang Yunxia take these photos?"

Lin Xingyuan spoke while looking around, and he didn't believe that Yang Yunxia was alright.

"have no idea"

"Shi Zhou, who is this man? Judging from his demeanor, he must have been a soldier like us."

Pei Shizhou glanced at him and said, "He is Xia Guohua, Xiao Chu's uncle, and the person next to him is my mother."

In the photo, a girl is smiling brightly as she eats a steamed bun, while a man gazes at her tenderly and affectionately. The two look very young; Xia Guohua must have just joined the army not long ago.

What a perfect couple! Lin Xingyuan only sighed inwardly! He didn't say it aloud, afraid that Pei Shizhou would be unhappy.
