We must not be soft-hearted when dealing with enemies.

After they left, Ding Shifang felt guilty and restless, as if a hundred claws were scratching at his heart.

A year ago, Cen Rong approached her, saying that she could get a certain amount of money by taking a few photos. She usually went out and splurge with her friends, and her father, Ding, didn't always give her money. She needed a way to make money to maintain appearances. Thinking it wouldn't be difficult, she immediately agreed.

Moreover, she was just taking a few tourist photos from a distance as Cen Rong had instructed, without even having to show her face. Of course, she knew that such a good thing wouldn't be a windfall, so she knew that she might not be doing anything good, but she pretended to be kept in the dark, as long as Cen Rong paid her enough.

Ding Shifang had to keep changing the people he sent to deliver things, so how could he not know how dangerous it was!

She was unsure whether something had actually happened or if she was just being suspected, so she told herself she absolutely couldn't panic, or she would surely die!

She can't die. She's just started to enjoy life to the fullest, and she hasn't had enough yet!

Before Ding Shifang could figure it out, two men came in. Unlike the two interrogators from before, these two were dressed similarly and looked even more robust. They grabbed her and pulled her up.

"What are you doing! You have no right to treat me like this!"

Ding Shifang struggled violently, but she was no match for the strength of the two men.

They were special police officers; Ding Shifang couldn't possibly break free from them.

Ding Shifang was terrified. Her face was pressed against a small window: "Look carefully at who that person is, think it through before you speak. You are a woman, and we don't want to make things difficult for you."

When Ding Shifang saw Cen Rong's face clearly, she knew she was finished.

"I'll confess, I'll confess everything! I was deceived too, I'll tell you everything!"

Ding Shifang still hopes for leniency in her confession, even if it means going to jail. She thinks her parents might try to pull some strings outside the prison. As long as she doesn't die, she just wants to stay alive!

She was mistaken; Ding Shifang had no idea how big a mess she had made this time.

Even if Ding's father hadn't been dismissed from his position as factory manager, he still wouldn't have been able to save Ding Shifang. In other words, even a miracle wouldn't have helped this time.

Bai Jiaojiao was still worried about this matter outside. She was very worried that Ding Shifang would use his silver tongue again to make it seem like he didn't deserve to die, which would not be pleasing at all.

Jian Shao left after only two days. Before he left, he told Shen Heng about the handling of Ding's father's situation, so that he could rest assured and not have any worries when he went on business trips with him in the future.

Two seemingly peaceful days passed, and Shen Heng tried to find someone to inquire, but he couldn't get any information at all. Thinking about it, it made sense; how could ordinary people like them know about such a thing?

However, Ding's father soon lost even his position as a supervisor.

Ding Shifang's case made the newspapers, which reported him as a "double agent," clearly indicating that Ding Shifang was also considered a member of the secret service. He was executed by firing squad seven days later.

Bai Jiaojiao looked at the newspaper and ate an extra egg for breakfast.

"But she's much more comfortable now. I guess her parents won't be able to keep working at the factory anymore."

They're already lucky they weren't implicated and imprisoned; to think they could have a secure job at the factory is simply a pipe dream.

Shen Heng and Bai Jiaojiao both breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Jiaojiao said, "Now you can go on your business trip with peace of mind. I know you didn't go with Teacher Jian Shao this time because of me. Be careful that he doesn't think you can't live without women."

“Do I even need to think about it? I just can’t live without you. If no one cares, is that a decent person? That’s a wild donkey running wild outside,” Shen Heng proudly admitted. “Teacher Jian said this time I’ll be gone for more than a month. More than a month! I’m getting old.”

“How can someone grow old so quickly? Go and do your job well. Teacher Jian really meant well this time. He clearly cares about you. We can’t let him down.”

Bai Jiaojiao smiled and kissed Shen Heng on the cheek, then pushed him away.

Shen Heng touched the spot where Bai Jiaojiao had kissed him and said, "Don't worry, am I that kind of heartless person?"

Shen Heng packed some luggage and left with his backpack. Communication was inconvenient at the moment, so he could only search for the address and then ask around aimlessly.

Bai Jiaojiao took the newspaper to Bai Shibao and told him about it.

"Third Brother, this matter has been brought to light because of my involvement and Heng's involvement. You can blame me, but I was only trying to protect myself. This is mainly her own fault for going too far."

Bai Jiaojiao first issued a disclaimer before handing the newspaper to Bai Shibao.

After reading it, Bai Shibao's head buzzed, and he threw the newspaper aside: "Traitor! I never imagined I would live with this kind of person for more than ten years! It's terrifying!"

At this moment, all the childhood friendship between Ding Shifang and Bai Shibao completely vanished.

Let alone Bai Shibao being a soldier now, even ordinary people would resolutely fight against the enemy. This country, which was ravaged by war, has only been stable for a few years.

Bai Shibao can now get out of bed on his own. He struggled to pick up the newspaper and looked at the article about Ding Shifang being bribed in a small fishing village.

“I knew she knew how she found out she was switched at birth. Even our father didn’t know. At the time, we all thought she was having a fit. It turns out someone helped her find out. Those people have such powerful connections!” Bai Shibao looked at the report above. “She was really tight-lipped. She didn’t say anything even on her deathbed.”

Ding Shifang had run out of tricks, but the security department thought she was trying to buy time to survive. However, this spy had been secretly lurking in Yancheng for two years. If the case was not closed and continued to drag on, it would be a failure to answer to the Party and the people.
