“Last year, the province established a new organization, which was in line with the central government’s policy. However, during the establishment of this organization, some comrades from our military region also got involved. The armed forces department under the military region sent people out and brought back some spies.”

When Li Ping heard Li Guoliang's words, she knew that her father had found out about her helping Su Yu.

However, she had a clear conscience. Even if she had only acted as an intermediary to introduce Su Yu to those comrades, she would have supported Su Yu in the same way, even if she were in the provincial capital. It wasn't just for their friendship, but also because she wanted to live up to her conscience.

“Pingping, you’ve always been a cautious child, I really don’t understand.”

Li Ping said, "Dad, this has nothing to do with being cautious. I feel I should do this, and I will do it. Sister Su Yu is a good person and a good comrade. What she did was worthy of the people and the organization. If something really happens, you can sever our father-daughter relationship at any time."

Li Guoliang was displeased and looked at his son-in-law, "What about Jiang Hu?"

Jiang Hu immediately said, "Dad, I think that as soldiers, we should do whatever we are supposed to do. We're not afraid of bullets, so why shouldn't we do these things? Besides, Pingping and I are currently on the southwestern border, facing the enemy at any time, so they can't find us. Therefore, Li Ping and I are going to do this together."

Seeing the couple united against a common enemy, Li Guoliang felt both angry and relieved.

He sighed deeply, "They've really grown too big for their britches. Oh well, I wasn't planning on getting involved anyway. I've observed the situation in the provincial capital carefully, and Comrade Su Yu is indeed quite methodical in his work; he hasn't acted recklessly. But Pingping, in the future, you should still consult with me about things like this. You're both young, and you're not always careful in your work. For example, the last time we caught the spy, if we hadn't informed them from above, it would have been difficult for the people below to handle it."

Hearing this, Li Ping felt a pang of sadness. She had never really thought of asking her father for help with any problems before.

In her eyes, her father liked capable and sensible children.

She laughed and said, "I was just boasting that I wouldn't need my dad."

“This doesn’t count, this is a big deal,” Li Guoliang said seriously.

Li Ping asked, "Dad, will you support me?"

"I will definitely support you as long as it's the right thing to do."

Li Ping's smile widened, and she sincerely said, "Thank you, Dad."
