Wang Qiwen is a geologist and he often went on business trips when he was young. After he married Si Xinnian, the couple struggled for a while in other places.

But geology is too hard, and without perseverance, it is difficult to stick to such a boring job. Especially when doing exploration work, it is very hard, and Wang Qiwen simply couldn't stick to it.

Not to mention Si Xinnian, who had been spoiled since childhood and had never experienced such hardship. He wrote letters to Si Qianjin and made phone calls, crying and wailing, using every possible means.

Si Qianjin had never done anything like taking shortcuts in his life, so he flatly refused.

Although he rejected Wang Qiwen's job transfer, the Wang family and the Si family were related by marriage. Wang Qiwen was good at scheming, and using his status as the son-in-law of the Si family, he successfully transferred his field work back to the research institute in Beijing.

It is a horizontal transfer, the salary is the same, just with fewer subsidies. However, one does not have to sleep in the open air anymore, and the hardship is greatly reduced.

Besides, there are other benefits to being transferred back. You can do some academic research and build more relationships with people in the Beijing circle. Isn't this much better than doing geological research in the wild under the wind and rain?

No matter what time, people have to pay attention to relationships. If he is not the son-in-law of the Si family, will others look up to him? Will they allow him convenience everywhere? Even if the Si family members surround themselves with an iron barrel, they can't stop outsiders from trying to tear down this iron barrel.

So, what did he do wrong? Every step he took over the years was absolutely correct.

People like Wang Qiwen, because they have received benefits, always play the role of being humble and cautious in the Si family. It seems that he is an appendage of Si Xinnian, who has a bad temper and he is incapable of doing anything.

But actually?

Jiang Yan's brain was working rapidly. In fact, it was Wang Qiwen who had been subtly influencing Si Xinnian. How did he make such a good person become mercenary, utilitarian and unreasonable?

Normally speaking, a person's blood and genes will not change. The Si family members are all nice people who are easy to get along with and they don't bully others. Why did an outlier appear?

It can't be said that she is different. After all, Si Xinnian was a normal person before she met Wang Qiwen, and her temper was completely different from what it is now. She treated Si Lu and Si Zhen very well at that time.

What happened in this?

Jiang Yan couldn't figure it out. Since they had moved, she might as well go to Wang Qiwen's workplace.

She couldn't go in and look for Wang Qiwen openly, so she could only follow him.

Arriving at the Geological Bureau, Jiang Yan first found a place to change his clothes and tidy himself up to change his appearance.

Anyway, her disguise skills are so poor that people who are not particularly familiar with her will definitely not be able to recognize her.

Jiang Yan had inquired in advance and found out that the Geological Bureau did have a back door, but it had been locked for many years and basically no one went through it. Everyone went through the main door after get off work.

Then just wait.

Jiang Yan had been wandering around nearby, changing her clothes from time to time to avoid attracting other people's attention and causing unnecessary trouble for her actions.

When she was hungry, she would go into the space to eat and drink. It was said that the front-line police had a hard time. It was not easy to squat on the spot. You had to concentrate highly and observe the pedestrians, suspicious people and vehicles. There was no surveillance these days. You had to find a good place and squat for several days without sleep.

What do people rely on to solve crimes in this era? They rely on their legs, visiting and investigating everywhere, and they rely on their mouths, communicating with the masses and looking for witnesses.

At least Jiang Yan could go into the space to rest. There was a big wheel watching over her. She didn't know how much more relaxed she felt.

【Host, the target person appears. 】

Jiang Yan quickly turned over and sat up. Sure enough, the man named Wang was pushing a bicycle out!

Jiang Yan glanced at the time and said, "It's not time to get off work yet. Are you leaving early?"

This is normal in this era. If someone has something going on, they can just tell their leader or team leader, ask for leave, and leave early.

Especially for office clerks like Wang Qiwen, sometimes they don’t even need to take leave. They can just make a phone call, go out to look for information, visit a professor, or go to a certain unit for some exchange.

Jiang Yan also rode his bicycle out of the space and followed Wang Qiwen not too far away. Originally, he was thought to be going home, but he actually went to the teahouse to drink tea.

Hey, you're talking about this guy, why are you so idle?

Jiang Yan had no choice but to lock her bicycle and follow him into the teahouse.

It was her first time here. This place was a bit elegant. There was no ticket for drinking tea, but it was quite expensive.

There are tea brands and snacks on the counter. You pay for the tea you want. There are private rooms upstairs, and you need to pay extra for that.

Wang Qiwen ordered a pot of tea and a plate of snacks and went up to the second floor. In order not to alert the enemy, Jiang Yan sat down directly on the first floor.

【Big wheel, marked positioning.】

【receive. 】

In Jiang Yan's mind, on the light curtain, a small light spot slowly rose up and was marked by a big wheel. This small light spot was undoubtedly Wang Qiwen.

Jiang Yan also ordered a pot of tea downstairs and waited.

Why did Wang Qiwen come to the teahouse? Who did he want to meet? It was impossible for him to skip work and come here to drink tea, right?

While drinking tea, Jiang Yan secretly observed the people in the teahouse. It was good, and business was slow. If she hadn't disguised herself today, she would have been exposed in a minute, and Wang Qiwen would have recognized her at a glance.

After a while, an old man came to the teahouse.

He was wearing a Zhongshan suit and his gray hair was combed neatly. He seemed to be a regular customer.

"Mr. Li, what kind of tea would you like to drink today?"

"Old rules, jasmine flowers, pea yellow."

"Okay, where do you want to sit?"

Uncle Li took out a few banknotes and said, "Send them to the second floor. I have an appointment. Seat number three."

Seat number three, isn’t that Wang Qiwen’s seat?

Is he coming to the teahouse to meet this old man?

Now it’s interesting.

Jiang Yan pretended to drink tea and eat snacks without even lifting her eyelids.

She couldn't find any excuse to go upstairs now. It was a bit unrealistic to want to listen to the conversation between the two people, as it might easily alert them.

The old man was still quite strong, and looked to be in his seventies or eighties. He walked up the stairs with steady steps, and he did not look like an ordinary person.

Interesting.

There were only two waiters in the store, one of them made tea and brought it upstairs.

Jiang Yan glanced at the other waiter who was dozing off behind the counter, then stood up gently and followed him quietly.

She walked without making any sound, and the waiter in front of her didn't even feel that someone was following her. When she reached the second floor stairs, Jiang Yan entered the space. She saw with her own eyes that the waiter finished delivering the tea, went downstairs, and then appeared.

Seat number three was a small private room, and when she moved closer, she immediately entered the space and hid herself perfectly.

The conversation inside stopped. Uncle Li lifted the curtain and walked out. He stood at the door and looked around in confusion before going back into the box.
