The interrogation lasted for several hours, during which Wei Xin maintained her innocence and was able to find seemingly reasonable excuses for all the charges.

Commander Zhou and the interrogator exchanged a glance. They knew that Wei Xin was professionally trained, and it wouldn't be easy to get useful information out of her directly. Moreover, in order to catch a bigger fish with a long line, they couldn't push her too hard.

Finally, Commander Zhou stood up and said coldly, "Wei Xin, that's the end of today's interrogation. You'd better think it over carefully. Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely." After saying that, he led his men out of the interrogation room.

Over the next few days, Wei Xin remained in the interrogation room, but the frequency of interrogations decreased significantly. She outwardly feigned grievance and innocence, but secretly felt smug, believing she had fooled everyone.

Meanwhile, the military was secretly observing her reactions, waiting for the right moment to let this "small fish" lure out an even bigger "fish" behind her.

A few days later, as planned, Wei Xin was released. She returned home under the pretense of being "cleared of suspicion," and even received sympathy from many residents of the compound.

Let's rewind to the day Lin Cuicui left. After Wei Xin relayed the message to the shop owner, the shop owner felt that a two-pronged approach was a good idea. So he immediately reported the situation to his superiors.

Following the decision made above, two people were arranged to sneak Tang Xi out of the military family compound.

After seeing Lin Cuicui and Wei Xin off, Old Li quickly brought Xixi to the main room to feed her. Xixi cooperated very well throughout, holding the food in her little hands and munching on it whenever she could.

They only let their grandfather feed them when they couldn't carry them themselves. Old Li adored them.

"My dear grandson, let's eat well. If you're full, Grandpa will take you out to play."

Xixi's big eyes sparkled. He knew what going out meant, but his mother never took him out to play. Grandpa was so kind. Xixi ate even more happily.

After dressing the child, Old Li carried Xixi out of the yard. "Xixi, do you still want to play with stones? Grandpa doesn't want anyone else coming into our house."

Xixi clapped her little hands happily, broke free from Old Li's arms, and fiddled with the stones at the doorway. Old Li didn't notice any changes in the yard.

"Grandpa, let's go!"

Old Li was a little doubtful; would this really work? He took a few steps forward, only to feel something push him backward. Old Li silently took Xixi's hand and walked away.

After walking for a while, he remembered what Cui Cui had said about putting invisibility talismans on them. There were a lot of people outside, so Old Li took Xixi back to the gate of his own yard and pretended to push the gate open, but in reality, he had secretly put invisibility talismans on both of them.

Afterwards, Old Li took Xixi out of the residential compound. At the entrance, Old Li saw a woman who looked somewhat familiar enter the compound, followed by a man carrying a lot of things.

Old Li didn't take it seriously. Perhaps he'd seen him somewhere before. There were quite a few people in the residential compound; he was probably a relative of someone.

The two walked all the way to the door of Commander Kang's office, where Old Li finally removed his invisibility talisman. Commander Kang was a little surprised to see the grandfather and grandson; why hadn't anyone informed them beforehand?

He was going to arrange for someone to pick her up from the family compound. But Lin Cuicui said that would attract too much attention and cause trouble. She said the old man would bring Xixi over himself.

They really came over quietly.

Not long after, Commander Kang received news that Qi Meizhen from the machinery factory had taken a mechanic to Tang Shengkai's house. They said they were looking for Lin Cuicui and had come specifically to thank her.

Commander Kang's eyes darkened. It seemed that Qi Meizhen needed to be thoroughly investigated. The timing was too coincidental; Wei Xin had just delivered the message, and now Qi Meizhen had come knocking.

Commander Kang couldn't do it even if he thought about it too much.

When Lin Cuicui woke up, she was completely dazed. Looking at the white walls around her and smelling the pungent odor of disinfectant, she realized she was in a hospital. Before she could even turn her head, she heard the nurse's excited shout.

"Oh, you're awake." After saying that, she hurriedly ran out.

Lin Cuicui... at least say something to me! What's going on here?

She looked out the door; several soldiers were still standing guard. A sense of relief washed over her. She realized she had accomplished her task, but this experience had also been extremely dangerous for her.

She almost lost her life. It seems she needs to intensify her cultivation, otherwise, with her current abilities, it will be quite difficult to protect her father and Xixi. She has spiritual power but doesn't know how to use it, which is quite worrying.

Tang Yue was sitting on a large rock halfway up the mountain. She had been feeling uneasy these past few days. She kept wondering what was going on. She, Chang Yin, and Tang Shengkai had already destroyed four US military bases.

Today they are going to Base 9. Tang Yue couldn't sense any unexpected situation no matter how she calculated it, but she still felt uneasy.

Especially when Lin Cuicui fell into the water and almost died, Tang Yue felt as if something was squeezing her heart, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Honey, what are you doing? Come and eat. Try Dad's roasted rabbit."

Tang Yue lazily turned and glanced at her father. The unease in her heart subsided slightly before she walked over. She would have to call home later if she got the chance. Since nothing unexpected happened on the battlefield, this bad feeling must be coming from home.

Now that the feeling was gradually fading, she figured she was out of immediate danger. Tang Yue wasn't so worried anymore. But what could happen at home? She had told her mother everything she needed to before leaving, and she had left her mother plenty of life-saving supplies. What could possibly go wrong?

Chang Yin noticed that something was wrong with the little girl. Her eyes, which were usually clear and bright, seemed to be shrouded in mist today. However, she didn't say anything, probably because she didn't want her father to know.
