Shu Ying was completely confused and had no idea what had happened.

She let the other person hold her hand and pull her back.

"I heard that Commander Xie was in a hurry when he took you out. It was so late and no one knew what was going on. They were still thinking about how to rescue you. Now that we see you back safely, we can rest assured."

Zhang Hongxia also looked worried. "What exactly does the higher-ups mean? They keep sending you out. If there's any misunderstanding, we can all help explain. Constantly summoning you isn't a solution."

Shu Ying was both amused and exasperated, and instantly understood everyone's concerns.

They probably thought that he was going out so late, and that the organization would probably punish her for it.

People usually live in the compound and rarely see leaders. Recently, a lot of people have come to her house, so it's no wonder that everyone is worried.

She felt a warm glow in her heart and took Zhang Hongxia's arm with both hands.

"Sisters, don't worry. I just went out to do something important. It's not that the organization is trying to do anything to me. The benefits that the unit can provide are already very good. Naturally, they won't easily wrong an innocent person. It's just that the organization has some work that they need my assistance with, and it happens to be in an area that I'm good at. Of course, I have no reason to refuse."

Sister-in-law Wang looked Shu Ying up and down, and only after seeing that she was indeed safe and sound did she quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"So you went out to help out?"

Shu Ying nodded emphatically and spun around to show herself. "Look at me, do I look like someone who used to be questioned? Besides, I haven't done anything wrong, so why would the organization bother me? Everyone can rest assured. But it's already so late, and you all insisted on waiting for me to come back. I really appreciate your concern."

Liu Xiulan's expression quickly filled with a smile. "So that's how it is. We thought you..."

Her voice stopped abruptly as she realized the implication was unpleasant. She gently patted her mouth with one hand and said, "Pah, pah, pah, let's not say such unlucky things now. Since you're alright, we won't disturb your rest any longer."

Several people escorted Shu Ying to the door. Xie Mingzhu was still looking around when she saw a group of people surrounding Shu Ying as they approached. She quickly went out to greet them, and even Li Qingqing hurriedly ran over.

Are you alright?

Shu Ying met Li Qingqing's gaze and shook her head slightly. "It's nothing, just helping out. It's kind of like work, so there's no need for everyone to be so afraid."

If you are upright, you have nothing to fear; if you stand on the right foot, you have nothing to fear.

The organization will make the most correct decision.

She also trusts the organization.

Seeing that the streetlights outside had all come on, Sister Wang didn't want to disturb the people's rest any longer.

"Since there's nothing wrong, we're relieved. It's getting late, so we won't join in the fun here. If you need any help, just let us know. Don't hesitate to let us know."

Xie Mingzhu politely saw the person out, and only after everyone in the vicinity had dispersed did Shu Ying lead Li Qingqing and Xie Mingzhu inside.

She walked side by side with Li Qingqing, and thinking of Du Chenzhou, she felt a vague unease in her heart.

“We went to the Public Security Bureau today. They said they detained three people at the station today, suspected of being enemy agents. When I got there, I found out that one of them was Du Chenzhou.”

Li Qingqing was stunned, and her expression turned ugly. She knew the relationship between the two families well, and Du Chenzhou's appearance at this time was definitely not a good thing. She couldn't help but feel worried.

"Why is this guy like a leech? I noticed he was following you back in Shanghai. He didn't do anything to you when you two met this time, did he? This guy is disgusting; he even followed you all the way to Beijing!"

Shu Ying was amused by Li Qingqing's indignation. She took her hand and sat her down on the sofa, while Xie Mingzhu went to the kitchen to wash fruit.

"That's nothing. It's just that we don't know the specifics yet. We don't know his current identity either. Before coming to Beijing, he was seriously injured, most likely in the head. He doesn't remember anything from before. He only has a photo of me on him, which he picked up from the battlefield. In short, the military is currently handling the investigation, and it's quite strict. I don't think there will be any mistakes."

Li Qingqing grasped Shu Ying's hand. "What if something happens to him? Will it implicate you?"

The current situation is quite unusual. There are countless people in the courtyard who are eyeing Shu Ying's identity, so Du Chenzhou's appearance at this time is really suspicious.

What if he has some bigger conspiracy? Shu Ying's hard-won stable life would be dragged into it again. Just thinking about it is despicable.

"That shouldn't be the case. First of all, it's very clear that his photo was retrieved from the battlefield, and Zhiyan can vouch for that for me. Since it's a military review, they must be extremely particular about the evidence. A little investigation would reveal the relationship between our two families, so I'll be fine."

Shu Ying leaned to the side slightly. "But there's something more important now. In the coming period, I need to find evidence to prove my parents' innocence. I do have some things on hand, but Zhi Yan's idea is that we still need witnesses."

She rubbed her temples, which were throbbing slightly. She had probably been expending too much mental energy lately, and her head would start to ache around eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

“There are still some things I haven’t sorted out yet. I need to find out the witnesses, the time and place, and I don’t know when the people will be found. But I’m hoping to do it as soon as possible so that the Shu family can clear their names and you won’t have to worry about me all the time.”

She knew everyone meant well, so she never felt that the gazes directed at her were prying.

Some things simply cannot be had at the same time, but she knew very well what she needed to do in the immediate future.

"I'm glad you have your own plans. I was worried you'd be too heartbroken and wouldn't know what your goals are. Now that I see you can have something to do again, I'm genuinely happy for you, Yingying. Although I can't help much, you can always tell me if you need anything. No matter where I am, I'll always be your strongest support."

She may not have been able to do much for Shuying due to her limited abilities, but from the moment Shuying rushed to her side alone to help her when she was giving birth in the hospital, she realized that this was the only family she would ever have in her life.

Shu Ying is happy now, and she is happier than anyone else.

"Also, I can earn money now. Although I don't have much savings, it can help me for a while if you need it. If you need money, you must tell me. If it weren't for you, my child and I might not even be alive. I truly consider you family and don't want you to be polite with me."
