Furthermore, China has no way out; only by following them can it have a bright 'future'.

Tang Yue scoffed lightly, "Were you turned by the enemy, or were you spies from the previous generation?" These two situations lead to completely different results.

"We were turned in the lab..." Then Tang Yue and Tang Jianye listened to a long story, interspersed with a small sense of happiness that remained even though they were not fully conscious.

Tang Jianye had a habit of carrying a pen and notebook with him, and he meticulously recorded the crimes of the two men. It could be said that the things they did to harm China were so terrible that they deserved to be executed a hundred times over.

The most terrifying thing was that their arrival at the cowshed was orchestrated in secret, all for the sake of making their work easier. Tang Yue and Tang Jianye felt a chill run down their spines; they wondered how many similar cases existed throughout China.

"Tang Jianye, go back to the unit now and report this to the leadership. I have a feeling those people are coming soon. I need to keep an eye on things here."

Tang Jianye understood Tang Yue's meaning; he wasn't worried about her safety. Without a word, he went directly to Lai Xiang's house and drove back to the unit. One could imagine the reaction from the entire unit after Tang Jianye reported the matter.

After Tang Jianye left, Tang Yue restored the room to its original state, allowing the two to continue sleeping on the kang (a heated brick bed). She gave them the antidote and thoughtfully erased their memory of what had just happened.

After taking the truth serum, they lose their memories, but they retain a certain feeling. Tang Yue erased all their memories of coming to the cowshed tonight. She had a feeling those people might come again tonight.

If things are going well next door tonight, the two of them might cancel their plans.

Tang Yue didn't tell Lai Xiang and the others what was happening here. She only told them to rest quickly and not to come out no matter what happened outside.

Watching Lai Xiang stumble home, Tang Yue hadn't forgotten that Lai Xiang didn't have much firewood. She already knew the approximate location where Zheng Qian and the other man had hidden their things, so she decided to go up the mountain to check and gather enough firewood for Lai Xiang to get through the winter.

Tang Yue didn't step on the snow; instead, she walked directly through the air. She ventured quite deep into the area, storing the withered trees directly into her spatial storage. Big Needle and the others happily helped to cut the dead wood into pieces.

After confirming that the location they mentioned hadn't been disturbed, Tang Yue returned to Lai Xiang's house. She cleared a large, snow-free area in the yard and moved the two large stacks of firewood that had already been piled up in the storage space out.

She was still thinking about what to use to cover the firewood when suddenly she noticed some movement coming from the cowshed.

Tang Yue's lips curled slightly. "You're here."
