Tian Zhenghe rolled his eyes at his wife. "I haven't done anything wrong, so what am I afraid of? Alright, alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. Hurry up and go see if the food is ready. I'm starving."

It would be a lie to say Tian Zhenghe wasn't nervous. Even when the work group came, nothing like this had ever happened before. He didn't know what the head of the inspection team and the people he brought were up to. Were they just leaving them hanging? Or did they intend to suspect them as well?

Although he hadn't done anything wrong, he was still worried about being wrongly accused, but no one understood his anxiety.

Jiang Qiao and the others really didn't have time to deal with this. Right now, all their energy was focused on catching enemy spies and restoring Zhao Anbang's work.

Song Shutian took Jiang Qiao out to eat with the work group.

Of course, they also highly praised the work attitude and efficiency of these people. "I didn't expect you to finish the report so quickly. After we have dinner, let's each talk to our leaders separately and get Comrade Zhao Anbang on the job as soon as possible."

"After all, our place is a bit special, so we can't follow the normal procedures, right?"

The others nodded in agreement. "That's right, that's exactly it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been selected to investigate this matter. If we're really talking about seniority and experience, Old Zhao is much more senior than any of us. We really can't do without him here."

With Song Shutian watching over them, after a quick meal, everyone went back to report to their respective leaders.

Song Shutian emphasized that the situation here was quite special and that comrades like Zhao Anbang were urgently needed to resume their work quickly so that they could begin the next step of their work to find enemy agents.

Jiang Qiao watched from the side. When Zhu Yunshan was about to go to the toilet, he raised an eyebrow at Song Shutian, who then smiled at him. Jiang Qiao understood what was going on.

She's not afraid of these little rascals jumping out; she's afraid they'll hold back. She doesn't have time to play with them here; she still has so many things to do.

The higher authorities took the report from Song Shutian and the working group very seriously and quickly issued a reply, ordering Zhao Anbang to immediately take charge of the work. The restoration document would be issued soon.

The working group received a new task: to temporarily assist Song Shutian in his work here, cooperate with each other, and wipe out the enemy agents as soon as possible. Song Shutian will temporarily serve as their group leader.

"Alright, everyone, let's work together from now on and get things back to normal as soon as possible. You've all had a long day, so get some rest."

Jiang Qiao and the others went out, and Zhu Yunshan staggered back from outside.

"Hey, Lao Ma, what's wrong with you?"

Ma Yunshan sighed, "I don't know if it's because I drank cold water or because I caught a chill last night, but I suddenly have an upset stomach. It's nothing serious though. I have medicine in my room. Take care, see you tomorrow."

Jiang Qiao glanced at the other person. She had an upset stomach, and she couldn't even fake it. An upset stomach wouldn't look like the other person's expression, especially the way they walked.

He glanced at Song Shutian, then left. Once outside, someone approached Song Shutian, whispered a few words to him, and then quickly left as well.

Jiang Qiao didn't get close, so she didn't hear what the other person said.

Song Shutian walked over and sighed, "It seems the enemy can't hold back any longer. Do you know what Zhu Yunshan was doing just now? He went to the toilet, that's true, but he slipped a note into the crack in the wall outside the toilet."

As Jiang Qiao walked, she asked, "What did it say on that note?"

Song Shutian gave a wry smile. "The enemy hasn't given up yet and wants to ambush you. So, you need to be careful during this time. I reckon they're probably after the information you have."

"Jiang Qiao, is it okay to leave the things there?"

Jiang Qiao turned to look at Song Shutian. "Don't forget, the old man will be back to work tomorrow. This thing needs to be handed over. Have you thought about how to handle it?"

Song Shutian smiled and said, "Don't hand it over for now. You will keep it safe. You will also be in charge of transmitting the information here for the time being. Let Lao Zhao get away so that the enemy's target will be you directly."

Jiang Qiao, is there anything wrong on your end?

Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "You've really used me to the fullest. If there's a problem, I can't refuse. I'll take this on."

However, shouldn't security be improved in this area?

Song Shutian sighed, "Before, when the old man was around, there were no security issues in principle. The problems that have arisen are naturally the work of someone with ulterior motives. So, the problem lies within our own ranks. Outsiders simply cannot get close to this test base."

So, I had another reason for asking you to pass on the information: to go and observe whether the people in there were trustworthy and reliable.

After all, Uncle Zhao has been gone for a while, and he really doesn't know much about the personnel reassignment.

"We haven't found out who harmed that person yet, so we can't afford any more mistakes, especially with the data. We absolutely cannot afford any errors; this is a critical moment."

Jiang Qiao nodded. "I understand. Don't worry, having the things in my hands is safer than putting them in a safe. Unless I die, they won't get anything from me."

Damn it, I haven't even settled accounts with them for the last time they shot me in the back. Now that this matter is over, I need to investigate thoroughly. Also, tell Lao Liu and his men in the provincial capital not to let their guard down.

By the way, I have a question. What if the enemy infiltrates, or if spare parts are delivered and they cause an explosion, we'd be completely defenseless.

After all, those inside are staff members, people who need to come out for a walk, get some fresh air, and buy necessities. Does the security department have any other measures in place for this?

Song Shutian smiled and said, "Jiang Qiao, let me tell you the truth. This base looks like we're conducting experiments, but it's just a preliminary test. The final location is somewhere else."

What we mainly provide here are data and information, which is why Lao Zhao is willing to risk his life to protect the data.

Not many people know about this; among those below, probably only you and I are aware of it.

Jiang Qiao teased, "You, how could you tell me such an important secret? It makes me feel so guilty. Just pretend I don't know anything about it."

Song Shutian smiled and said, "Whether you know it or not is irrelevant to me. You are a trustworthy comrade-in-arms and friend. No one hates these people more than you."

"That's right. They've hurt us so many times already. It wouldn't be right of me not to avenge them."

By the way, who do you think was the person who came to collect the note left by Zhu Yunshan?

Even though this is an office area, there are still guards, right? Not just anyone can come in.
