You don't spoil your daughter, right? I do!

Chapter 897 The first clues appear

After a noisy lunch, Xie Shuangxu and Lin Ying'an went into the kitchen and started to clean up the dishes.

Lin Hao sat on the sofa, looking at the book lying upside down on the sofa, and flipped through it curiously.

I had only read two pages when I saw descriptions such as "the lower abdomen tightened" and "a small tent was erected". No wonder the fifth sister was so curious!

He shook his head helplessly, lamenting that this was just the fifth sister's belated puberty and belated rebellion!

If this were done outside, there would be no need for his guidance, as the fifth sister would be able to find the learning materials on her own.

Lin Ying'an and Xie Shuangxu quickly washed the dishes, and poked their heads out from behind the sofa, one on the left and one on the right, and put them on Lin Hao's shoulders.

Lin Hao reached out and rubbed the heads of the two people, and asked, "Have you washed the dishes?"

Lin Yingan nodded, "It's all washed!"

"Xiaohao, it's almost time to take a lunch break!"

She took Xie Shuangxu's hand, came to Lin Hao's side, and introduced, "Shuangxu, lunch break means resting your head on Xiaohao's legs!"

Xie Shuangxu blinked in surprise and suddenly looked up at Lin Hao. How come she didn’t know that taking a lunch break had this meaning?

"Xiaohao always took me to rest under the tree outside before, but it would be much cooler if there was air conditioning in the room!"

"Shuang Xu, you are taller, so sleep on that side of the sofa."

"I'm a little shorter, so I sleep here on the sofa!" Lin Ying'an added.

She grabbed Lin Hao's arm and dragged him to the corner of the "L"-shaped sofa.

"Wait for me!" She suddenly remembered something and ran towards the door.

The door of the villa was closed. Xie Shuangxu rested his head on Lin Hao's legs and snorted softly, "Is this how you led Fifth Sister astray? Is this how you explain lunch break?"

Lin Hao pinched Xie Shuangxu's cheek and said helplessly, "I didn't teach her this, did I? She learned it all on her own!"

"I don't believe it! Scumbag!" She turned sideways and rested her head on Lin Hao's soft belly.

After a while, Lin Ying'an ran back from the door with a piece of green and tender wild grass in his hand.

Looking at Lin Ying'an, who had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead but was proudly holding the grass leaf, Lin Hao suddenly felt distressed for some reason.

He took a tissue, helped Lin Ying'an wipe the sweat off his forehead, and helped him lie on his legs.

He took the leaf from Lin Ying'an and said with a smile, "Shuang Xu, you really came this time."

"I can tell from the leaves that Fifth Sister picked this time that they were carefully selected. They will definitely be able to produce beautiful music!"

Xie Shuangxu gently nudged Lin Ying'an's head with her head. She had already noticed all the behaviors of her sister at noon. Her sister really liked having her come to play!

Lin Ying'an wiped her slightly red cheeks and showed a silly smile, "Xiaohao, hurry up, Shuangxu and I are going to take a nap together!"

Lin Hao thought for a while, put the leaf to his mouth, and played a melodious piece of summer music.

The singing gradually died down, and seeing that the two had fallen asleep, Lin Hao placed his hands on their cheeks.

He looked out the window at the sky that was bleached by the sun, his clothes swaying in the midday breeze, listened to the restless cicadas chirping under the leaves, and the low sound of the air conditioner, and gradually he felt sleepy.

It was past two in the afternoon when the three of them woke up in a daze, feeling that today's lunch break was particularly relaxing.

"I'm late, I'm late!" Lin Ying'an looked at the time and suddenly sat up from the sofa.

"It's okay if you're late. It's no big deal." Lin Hao said with a smile, "I don't believe he can fire you!"

He squeezed Lin Ying'an's hand and asked, "Fifth sister, have you finished your work today?"

"We have to check and see if there are any new tasks in the afternoon." Lin Ying'an replied.

Her brows were furrowed in slight worry. Although Xiaohao was right, she always felt that being late was not a good thing.

"Sister, let me accompany you to the R&D center!" Xie Shuangxu rubbed his eyes and stretched lazily.

She looked at Lin Hao and said, "You go to the gate first. When my sister finishes her work, I will go there with her."

Lin Hao nodded, and went to the gate alone to ask the city guards to check Xiao Taiqing's correspondence records.

He now has encrypted letters and code books, but he just doesn't know what encryption method the other party uses.

The only method he could think of now was to mark the pages, rows, and columns according to the number of words in each sentence in the letter, and then combine them.

I just tried it yesterday, but the words I found couldn't form a complete sentence.

"Could it be that we extract one word from each sentence?" An idea suddenly occurred to Lin Hao.

But as soon as this idea came into my mind, it was strangled.

This is too blatant, and it has nothing to do with the code book. It can't be used as a pad for letter paper, right?

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Shuangxu and Lin Ying'an also arrived at the gate.

Xie Shuangxu patted Lin Hao on the shoulder and asked, "Lin Hao, have you found any clues?"

Lin Hao's eyes were depressed, and he sighed softly, "What do you think?"

"Could it be that you are mistaken?" Xie Shuangxu said, "Could it be that he was busy at work these past two days, so Chief Engineer Xiao got off work late and came to mail the letter late?"

Lin Hao opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain. He couldn't just say that according to the plot in the book, this project was eventually sold at a low price, right?

But thinking about it, this is not a dangerous thing. He scratched his head and said, "Maybe I am a little suspicious."

"I don't have much to do at the base anyway, so I might as well kill some time and relieve my boredom!"

Xie Shuangxu nodded, sat next to Lin Hao, and said with a smile, "Then I'll be bored with you!"

Although Lin Hao said he was just killing time, she could also hear the persistence implied in his words.

She took out old letters and began to look through them, also solving the puzzle by counting the words in each sentence.

Lin Ying'an was sitting on a bench, also picking up the letter to look at it, her feet wobbling.

Her neck suddenly raised and she let out an "Oh!" sound.

In the empty and quiet gatehouse, her voice, as if suddenly enlightened, was particularly clear.

Lin Hao turned his head to look at Lin Ying'an and asked, "Fifth sister, did you find anything?"

Lin Ying'an scratched his head, a faint blush appeared on his face, and whispered, "Yeah. I don't know if it can be considered a discovery. It's just that the time of sending the letter is very strange!"
