"Okay, I understand." Zeng Liren had no sympathy for the spy in front of him.

He asked this question simply to figure out how to proceed with his subsequent work.

"Can I leave now?" Su Miaomiao asked Zeng Liren.

A troubled expression suddenly appeared on Zeng Liren's face.

As soon as Su Miaomiao saw his expression, she knew what would happen.

"When can I leave?" Su Miaomiao asked a different question.

“Once we catch his supplier and close this case, I will personally send you back,” Zeng Liren said quickly.

"I understand, but I've been away for a while now. If I can't go back for a long time, I'm afraid my family will worry," Su Miaomiao said softly.

"You can rest assured about that. I'll have someone go and tell your family in a bit that the organization wants you to stay and help treat the poisoned patients."

"That would be troublesome." Su Miaomiao had no objection.

Anyway, they should be very professional in these matters, and they can always find a reason to reassure his family.

“It’s no trouble at all, we’re the ones who are troubling you,” Zeng Liren said repeatedly. “Let me take you to settle in first.”

"Mm." Su Miaomiao nodded.

"..."

The house that Zeng Liren arranged for Su Miaomiao was guarded by a special person. All the windows in the room were fitted with burglar bars, and there were people on duty at the door 24 hours a day.

However, the facilities inside the house are quite good, with a private bathroom and a spacious double bed.

Three meals a day are prepared by a dedicated person, with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, and three dishes and a soup.

She doesn't use anything all day, just eats and sleeps, which is a bit boring.

The next day, Su Miaomiao told the guards at the gate to find her any book.

When I delivered lunch, there were several extra books.

Looking at the four classic novels in front of her, Su Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh softly, but having them was better than not having them at all.

Su Miaomiao stayed in the room for five days. On the morning of the sixth day, there was a knock on the door.

Su Miaomiao thought it was someone bringing breakfast, so she put down her copy of Water Margin and got up to open the door.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiuyuan was standing at the door.

"Xiuyuan? What brings you here?" Su Miaomiao asked in surprise.

"I've come to take you home." Lu Xiuyuan's gaze swept carefully over Su Miaomiao, and only after confirming that there was nothing wrong with her did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Can I go home now?" Su Miaomiao asked in surprise.

“Comrade Su, you can go home now,” Zeng Liren, who was standing behind Lu Xiuyuan, said immediately.

"Very good!"

"..."

Stepping into the sunlight again, Su Miaomiao felt as if every cell in her body had been revitalized.

She now finally understands why some people say, "Life is precious, love is more precious, but freedom is the most precious of all."

Freedom is truly important to humankind.

Zeng Liren personally escorted Su Miaomiao to the entrance of her workplace. He had previously promised to take her home, but since Lu Xiuyuan had driven over, he seemed a bit redundant.

"Comrade Su, thank you so much this time." Zeng Liren looked at Su Miaomiao with gratitude.

Without her, this mission might have ended in failure.

When they caught the person in charge, he was transmitting information outwards. Had they been a fraction of a second later, state secrets would have been leaked.

It's fair to say that without Su Miaomiao, the country would have faced an incredibly dangerous situation.

"You're welcome. I just did what I was supposed to do," Su Miaomiao said with a smile.

Zeng Liren could sense that Su Miaomiao's sincerity, and his respect for her deepened even further.
