Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 302 Era: XCMG's Simple-minded Wife 6

The train station was shrouded in a thin mist in the early morning.

Ji Xiaosong carried her luggage and followed closely behind Xu Weidong.

There weren't many people on the platform, mostly workers rushing to catch the early bus, with a few people in cadre uniforms hurrying by occasionally.

"Brother Weidong, which bus should we take?" she asked softly.

Xu Weidong didn't answer, but suddenly stopped and turned to her: "Someone will pick you up later."

Ji Xiaosong was taken aback: "You're not coming with me?"

Xu Weidong's gaze swept across the platform, and he said in a low voice, "I have a mission."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a gray Zhongshan suit walked over, nodded to Xu Weidong, and then gave Ji Xiaosong a friendly smile: "Comrade Xiao Ji, right? I am Officer Zhao from the Provincial Bureau of Commerce, here to receive you."

Ji Xiaosong's heart sank.

Is Xu Weidong trying to get rid of her?

Before she could say anything, Xu Weidong had already handed the luggage to Zhao, saying, "Thank you for your help."

"Of course," Zhao said with a smile as he accepted the gift. "Don't worry, Engineer Xu, everything has been arranged."

A train whistle sounded in the distance, and a green train slowly pulled into the station.

Xu Weidong glanced at Ji Xiaosong one last time: "Have fun in the provincial capital."

After saying that, he turned and walked to the other end of the platform, where an inconspicuous jeep was parked.

The moment the car door opened, Ji Xiaosong keenly noticed that the person sitting inside was wearing a military green uniform.

That wasn't ordinary technical training.

The prosperity of the provincial capital dazzled Ji Xiaosong.

There wasn't much to see in this era, but it was very characteristic of the time.

Zhao, the clerk, took her to the guesthouse. The room was small but clean, and there was a wilted orchid on the windowsill.

“This is an expert building specially approved by the province,” Officer Zhao handed her a receipt. “These are shopping vouchers from the department store, which Xu Gong specially applied for.”

Ji Xiaosong took the receipt, but her mind was preoccupied with Xu Weidong's unusual behavior.

What exactly is he carrying out?

Why hide it from her?

"Comrade Xiao Ji?" Officer Zhao asked with a smile when he noticed her distracted state. "Would you like to go to the department store first?"

Ji Xiaosong snapped out of her daze and gave a simple, honest smile: "Great! I've never seen a six-story shopping mall before!"

The department store was filled with a dazzling array of goods, but Ji Xiaosong was distracted.

Her gaze swept across each counter, then suddenly stopped in the hardware section, where several brand-new transistor radios were displayed.

"Comrade, can we take this apart and take a look?" she asked, pointing to one of the machines.

The sales clerk frowned: "You can't just move this, it costs over a hundred yuan!"

Officer Zhao quickly pulled out his work ID: "We're from the Commerce Bureau, doing market research."

The sales clerk then reluctantly took out the sample.

Ji Xiaosong took the radio, her fingers gently stroking the outer casing, and a wisp of spiritual energy silently seeped into the internal components.

This sophisticated instrument might help her "hear" news about Xu Weidong.

"I'll just take a look," she said, pretending to be curious as she fiddled with it for a few moments, then put it down in disappointment. "It's not as good as my brother Weidong's repair."

Zhao chuckled: "Xu Gong's craftsmanship is indeed unparalleled."

It was already evening when we returned to the guesthouse.

Ji Xiaosong closed the door and immediately began checking the room.

She checked the drawers, under the bed, and even the lampshade, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming there were no listening devices.

The orchids on the windowsill had mostly withered and turned yellow, their leaves drooping listlessly.

Ji Xiaosong hesitated for a moment, then gently tapped the flowerpot with her finger.

A wisp of spiritual energy was injected, and the orchid trembled slightly, but quickly withered away.

"So weak?" She frowned, then poured in more spiritual energy and some spiritual spring water from the space.

Almost instantly, the orchid's leaves unfurled, their withered yellow fading away to be replaced by a jade-like green.

Even more amazingly, a tender green bud sprouted from the top of the flower stem!

Ji Xiaosong was still in surprise when she suddenly heard Lan Hua "speak":

"Watch out...the person in blue..."

Her pupils contracted: "What did you say?"

But the orchid has reverted to its normal plant state and has not responded since.

Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Comrade Xiao Ji, dinner is ready!"

It was Officer Zhao's voice.

Ji Xiaosong quickly wiped the blood from her fingers and replied, "Coming!"

Dinner was eaten at the guesthouse canteen.

As Officer Zhao enthusiastically introduced the provincial capital's specialty dishes, Ji Xiaosong responded while secretly observing her surroundings.

In a corner of the cafeteria, a man in blue overalls was reading a newspaper, glancing at them every now and then.

Blue clothes?

Ji Xiaosong's heart tightened as she recalled the orchid's warning.

Such a coincidence?

In this modern world, these are basically the colors you see everywhere.

But it seems there's only one blue that's this beautiful.

"Officer Zhao," she deliberately raised her voice, "can we go to the library tomorrow? I'd like to read some books."

Officer Zhao was somewhat surprised: "Of course, but..."

"Although I've never been to school, Brother Weidong taught me quite a few characters." She smiled innocently. "I want to learn more so I can help him with his bookkeeping when I get back."

These words were reasonable and logical, and Officer Zhao readily agreed.

The man in blue in the corner seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and continued reading his newspaper.

The next day, Ji Xiaosong made an unexpected discovery at the library.

She "accidentally" found a book called "Principles of Radio" in front of the science and technology bookshelf, which detailed various signal encoding methods.

"Comrade, can I borrow this book?" she asked the librarian.

The administrator adjusted his glasses: "Can you understand it?"

Ji Xiaosong lowered her head shyly: "I...I borrowed it for my husband, he's a technician..."

Upon hearing that the person was a technician's family member, the administrator's attitude immediately softened: "Just register them."

As Ji Xiaosong returned to her seat with her books, she noticed that the man in blue had also come to the library and was pretending to look for books on the next shelf.

She turned the pages of the book without making a sound, her finger lightly tracing the Morse code table.

The rhythm with which Xu Weidong tapped his watch last night seemed to be this frequency!

As night fell, Ji Xiaosong excused herself by saying she was tired and went back to her room early.

She locked the door, immediately took out the book, and began to decipher it by comparing it with the rhythm in her memory.

Tap, tap-tap, tap—

"The...task...has...changed..."

Her heart raced as she continued translating.

Just then, there was a soft knock on the windowpane!

Ji Xiaosong slammed the book shut and turned to look.

Outside the window, a Virginia creeper vine was twisting and turning strangely, forming an arrow shape that pointed downstairs.

She quietly lifted a corner of the curtain and saw that at the back door of the guesthouse, the man in blue was talking quietly with another man wearing a baseball cap, and they were holding an envelope in their hands.

The postmark on the envelope clearly came from a city in the south!

The next morning, Officer Zhao noticed that Ji Xiaosong's eyes were red.

"Didn't you sleep well?" he asked with concern.

Ji Xiaosong rubbed her eyes: "I miss home..."

In fact, she hadn't slept all night. Not only had she deciphered Xu Weidong's signal, but she had also "seen" through the plants outside the window that the man in blue had sneaked into the guesthouse office late at night and peeked at her registration information.

"What are the plans for today?" she asked, trying to sound casual.

Officer Zhao glanced at his watch: "We'll visit the arts and crafts factory this morning, and this afternoon..."

"Can we go to the herbal medicine market?" Ji Xiaosong suddenly interrupted him. "My father's prescription is missing a few ingredients."

Zhao was somewhat hesitant, but he still agreed.
