The municipal bureau originally considered sending Qiu Jingwen back to the Hongqi factory in a jeep, but that wouldn't align with the information that Qiu Jingwen was on official business. So, Shao Jian and his team gave Qiu Jingwen money for the ride and let him return to the factory on his own. Of course, Shao Jian and Chen Sheng had a deep conversation with him and tried to persuade Qiu Jingwen to defect. Qiu Jingwen was naturally happy to be an undercover agent in peacetime, especially since he was already a party member.

At that moment, Qiu Jingwen, who had agreed to be turned, or rather, had a dual identity, felt like he was being reborn from the ashes like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Not long after he left the police station, he found a nearby phone booth, put in a coin, and called his wife in the infirmary to tell her the good news that he would be home for dinner that evening.

Qiu Jingwen didn't reveal the specifics on the phone. He planned to tell his wife, Qiu Yang, and Qiu Yue about being recruited after he got home, so they would know that his identity had changed and he was now working for the investigation team to find the members of the infiltrated group in the Duliang area. However, he didn't expect to be attacked as soon as he left the phone booth after making the call.

What surprised him even more at this moment was that his former superior and leader, Liu Han, was actually an underground worker before liberation and a subordinate of his father, Qiu Zhongjing. He had only betrayed his beliefs and become a shameful traitor.

This was something Qiu Jingwen never dreamed of. He believed that the information and contents of this letter would be very useful to Shao Jian and the investigation team. At the same time, whether the mushroom plan mentioned by Liu Yihan in the letter was true or false still needed to be further investigated and solved by the investigation team.

Of course, Qiu Jingwen was equally surprised by the letter's mention that his wife had been a top-notch special agent in her youth. Although his wife had mentioned it to him, it still seemed unbelievable. If his wife had been a teenage special agent and had received training, then her composure after killing Liu Han would naturally make sense.

Qiu Jingwen knew that if he gave this letter to Shao Jian, Shao Jian would be shocked by his wife Jiang Yuping's past as a teenage spy and would definitely investigate further. But he thought that his wife was two years younger than him, and even if she was a spy before liberation, she was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time. Decades had passed, and like him, no one had awakened her. Shao Jian probably wouldn't make things difficult for his current wife. Besides, Liu Yihan had only guessed about his wife's past as a spy from the letter and wasn't entirely certain.

Now that he had agreed to go undercover, it was more important to cooperate with Shao Jian's investigation team to find the hidden low-level members in Du Liang.

Along the way, Qiu Jingwen pondered many questions, getting to know Liu Han, his parents, and his wife Jiang Yuping in a new light. Especially his wife Jiang Yuping—her original name was Kawashima Eiko? Why hadn't she mentioned it to him all these years? Qiu Jingwen naturally thought about his wife's headaches; he felt it was because her memory had been traumatized.

Upon arriving at the guesthouse, Qiu Jingwen propped up his bicycle and immediately knocked on the investigation team's door.

Shao Jian, Wu Dinghuai, Zhao Le, and two police officers from the county bureau were holding an emergency meeting. During the meeting, Shao Jian informed Wu Dinghuai and the others of the reasons and plans for releasing Qiu Jingwen, and instructed them to keep it strictly confidential. At the same time, he instructed Wu Dinghuai to transfer a young police officer from the city bureau to be stationed in the third workshop, preferably next to Qiu Jingwen, to ensure Qiu Jingwen's personal safety. Ideally, even Qiu Jingwen himself should be unaware of this officer's presence.

When Qiu Jingwen, carrying a tool bag, stood in front of the investigation team's door, Shao Jian's expression changed slightly.
