Chapter 338 Qi Man
The leader contacted the School of Foreign Languages and got Song Tingnan leave with just one phone call. Then, someone took her to special training, mainly shooting practice.
The fact that she could fire a gun was a pleasant surprise for Song Tingnan. Even if Gao Haoran wanted to teach her before, there was no place or guns and ammunition available. He could only make a bow for her to play with and then teach her to shoot darts.
Seeing Tingnan's eagerness, the two leaders in charge smiled. "The younger generation is surpassing the older one," they thought. "With this kid joining us, our chances of winning have greatly increased."
Because of her shooting background, Song Tingnan had good aim, but the recoil from firing a gun startled her at first, though she gradually got used to it.
Considering she is a girl, small in stature and with small hands, and that calluses on her hands from holding a gun should not be allowed, in case she comes into close contact with enemy agents and is detected.
They used pistols, and the training lasted three days. Of course, the chances of actually using a gun were slim, but it was just in case.
She met Yu Kewen at Zuo Jinyue's school. They introduced themselves and it wasn't difficult for Song Tingnan to remember some basic information. It was the chemical equations and terminology that made her glad she hadn't chosen biochemistry as her major; it was too difficult.
Yu Kewen was also smart enough to know that 'Peng Dan' was a fake name, so he didn't ask any further questions.
Song Tingnan knew that the security bureau comrades weren't very close, because to lure the other party into a trap, they couldn't be too obvious and had to leave some 'loopholes.' They often needed to be quick-witted. Her superiors had told her to protect herself first in dangerous situations, and Tingnan was confident that she could protect herself and buy time. She calmly followed Yu Kewen home as usual.
Several years had passed since the last time Song Tingnan saw Du Hexiang, which was on the day of Zuo Jinyue's wedding. Besides, girls change a lot as they grow up, and Song Tingnan had deliberately changed her appearance. Du Hexiang didn't recognize her at all and remained very polite.
At the dinner table, Yu Kewen explained in a few words, "Dad, Mom, this is my junior sister Peng Dan. I was asked to take care of her. Her parents are busy with work, so she will be with me for a while. I will go back to work with her after a few days of rest."
Du Hexiang didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement, his enthusiasm growing even stronger. He never interfered with his eldest daughter-in-law's work, and even asked Wu Jinfeng to buy fish and meat to arrange their living arrangements.
He knew all too well that his wife and other researchers were national treasures. If he hadn't found a way to get Du Hongze into those positions, he wouldn't have been able to snag this precious daughter-in-law.
Ahem, seeing Du Hexiang's kind face, Song Tingnan also cooperated, sweetly calling out "Uncle" and "Aunt" with an innocent look.
Two days later, Du Hongzhi's girlfriend, Qiman, came to visit. Yu Kewen remained aloof as always, not taking the initiative to greet him. She rarely spoke at home, only showing some enthusiasm when she was with her son, Binbin.
As a guest, Song Tingnan naturally just nodded and smiled. Qi Man, however, was very enthusiastic towards her, and even after Wu Jinfeng relayed Yu Kewen's words, she still kept asking questions.
This woman, Qiman, is said to be Uyghur. She has well-defined facial features, with deep-set eyes, double eyelids, large eyes, a straight nose, and blonde curly hair. She is quite pretty.
But Wu Jinfeng didn't like her very much. She felt that she was a bit neurotic. When she was in a good mood or had something to ask of her, she would be very sweet-talking and call her "Dad" and "Mom" even before she had entered the door, which Wu Jinfeng found very annoying. At other times, she would act superior and look down on them.
Of course, these were just her feelings, and she didn't dare tell Du Hexiang, since she was the one who stirred things up when the brothers broke up last time.
What she found most unbearable was that whenever her eldest son and his wife returned home, Qiman would always show up, and she would intentionally or unintentionally glance at her eldest son, Du Hongze, with a flirtatious look in her eyes. Alas, her younger son was head over heels in love with her, and nothing could calm him down. He had been clamoring to get married several times, but in the end, Qiman herself said there was no rush and they should save money to buy a house first, and only then did they temporarily put it aside.
Wu Jinfeng looked at her eldest daughter-in-law eating quietly and thought about whether she should remind her to pay more attention to her husband. She didn't want her two sons to cause trouble in the family because of a woman.
Wu Jinfeng was quite satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law, Yu Kewen, except that she was a bit cold-hearted, rarely home, and had even given birth to a grandson. Although it was hard work for her to take care of people, she would hand over her salary and wasn't picky about food, eating whatever was cooked for her.
