His return might mean he wasn't turned back to steal some secrets!

Upon thinking of this, he suddenly stood up.

"I know about this. Don't tell anyone! I have to go to the Ministry of State Security. You should go home first!"

Bai Yajing's lips curled into a confident smile. Success! Now it's up to A-Che.

If she were to suddenly report Bai Zhijun, firstly, she would lack evidence, and secondly, in the eyes of outsiders, he would be her brother, which would ultimately damage her reputation.

However, she might as well make use of the evidence that the other party had delivered to her door! The fact that Bai Zhijun knew so much about the Bai family and her affairs meant his identity was already confirmed.

Moreover, he was the one who acted unjustly first; she was merely retaliating! Besides, she was doing it for national security, wasn't she?

"good!"

She didn't have anything to do anyway, so it didn't make much difference whether she was there or not. She left the doctor who came with her behind and went home first.

Xiao Che is still at the Ministry of State Security and has not returned.

When Director Xie found him, he told him about his suspicions and wariness.

"Minister Xiao, we must be vigilant about this! Even though the two countries have resumed diplomatic relations, we cannot let our guard down completely!"

If Bai Zhijun could betray his country once, it means he could do it a second time!

Besides, I can't understand why he wanted to come back. After all, he had already left, taking so much wealth with him; things are much better there than here!

Xiao Che suppressed a laugh, knowing that Bai Yajing's words had worked.

"Director Xie, don't worry, I'll start investigating right away!"

He wouldn't tell Director Xie that Bai Zhijun had no money to his name and that he only came back because he couldn't make it there!

After seeing Director Xie off, he went to the Ministry of State Security's prison.

I walked on, ignoring the wailing.

He arrived at a prison, opened the door, and went inside.

When the person inside saw him coming, they quickly got up from the bed.

"You? You're here to let me out? I haven't done anything wrong! You, you all, let me out!"

God knows, he's filled with regret now! If he had known that little beast would be so cruel to him, he wouldn't have come looking for her!

It was all because Aunt Xu told him that Bai Yajing was doing very well in Kyoto that he got greedy...

"You, your surname is Xiao, right? You are Bai Yajing's husband, right? You can't use your position for personal revenge! I haven't done anything wrong! You can't keep me here!"

He learned from the person who brought him food that the person in front of him was Xiao Che, Minister Xiao, that little beast's husband!

Xiao Che gave him a cold look. "Do you know you're a scoundrel now? You came from Shanghai without even a letter of introduction!"

Our arrest and thorough investigation are simply part of the duties of our Ministry of State Security! There is no personal vendetta involved!

Now that we've verified your identity, we'll be escorting you back to Shanghai tomorrow!

Upon hearing that he could return to Shanghai, Bai Yunchen was overjoyed. He no longer cared whether it was for personal revenge or not.

He rubbed his fingers together and said with a sullen face, "Well... you, you are still my son-in-law, but I, I am penniless now, and I have nowhere to go back."

As my daughter's husband, shouldn't you at least take care of me for her sake?

My demands aren't high. Just arrange a place for me to live in Shanghai, and then give me a relatively easy clerical job. Ideally, you could also leave me some money to spend.

You and she both have jobs; you can't let your reputation for being unfilial be criticized, can you?

Hmph, once I'm branded as an unfilial son, I refuse to believe they'll truly abandon me!

Xiao Che was both angry and amused upon hearing this.

"Comrade Bai, as far as I know, you, my wife, and my grandfather have already severed ties through a public notice in the newspaper, haven't you?"

"If that's the case, how dare you ask me to take care of you?"
