After everything was arranged, Su He told Grandma Su and Lin's parents that she was leaving.

Of course, she didn't tell the truth either, only saying that her company was going to arrange for her to go on a business trip for a period of time.

Lin's parents were relieved to hear this. Although they were a little worried, they knew that since she had agreed, she must have known what she was doing.

However, after hearing this, Grandma Su was reluctant to let her go, fearing that something might happen to her while she was so heavily pregnant. She almost went to her workplace to talk to her boss, not understanding why she was being assigned a business trip when she was already pregnant.

But she knew Su He's personality, and in the end, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

I'm still worried, though. I prepared a lot of things for her before she left, hoping that her business trip wouldn't be too tiring.

Seeing this, Su He breathed a sigh of relief, left them enough money, and told Yuan Yuan to be obedient and sensible. Finally, she asked Section Chief Ye and Grandpa Ma to take good care of the elderly couple.

Then she declined their offer to see her off, and reluctantly left with the several large bundles prepared by Old Mrs. Su.

To create the illusion of being exhausted from several days of train travel, she and Hu Xing waited in the office until very late that night. The next morning, without even washing up, she was driven to the train station by Captain Chen.

He didn't stay long after that, gave them some more detailed instructions, and then left.

Hu Xing and Su He, looking travel-worn and carrying large bags, entered the train station.

When the train from Shanghai arrived at the station, I followed the flow of people out.

Just like their first time in Beijing, they asked the staff for directions to the bus, boarded the bus, and after several transfers, arrived at the research institute's residential compound.

This place seems to be much more strictly managed than other compounds. You can see guards standing at the gate from afar, with guns tucked into their waistbands.

Seeing this, Su He and the other person picked up their things and went over.

Because she is pregnant and didn't sleep well last night, Su He is very tired and looks like she has been on a train for several days.

Fortunately, her "younger brother" Hu Xing took good care of her and helped carry most of her things.

Seeing that the two looked travel-worn, the guard on duty stepped forward and asked sternly, "What are you doing here? No one is allowed to linger here!"

Upon hearing this, Su He quickly replied, "Hello, comrade. I am Hu Mei, Ji Cheng's wife. I came from Shanghai. This is my younger brother, Hu Xing, who came to see me off."

The guard's expression softened upon hearing this. "Could you please show me the letter of introduction?"

Upon seeing this, Hu Xing immediately took out the letter of introduction.

After the guard checked, he went back to the duty room to make a phone call. After a while, he came out and said, "Researcher Ji has already reported it. Just take out what you brought and let me check it before you can go in."

Su He nodded, smiled at him, and put her bag down for him to check. "It's fine, thank you both. Please check as you please. But could you please call my husband for me and have him come pick me up? Otherwise, I don't know where to go."

The guard said directly, "I just called. Researcher Ji was on an emergency mission last night and is not here right now. You can just go to his house, Building 2, Room 303. The house has already been arranged."

"What? He's away on a business trip? That's such a coincidence. He said he wasn't busy lately when we talked on the phone last time."

Although Su He already knew that these were all arrangements made by the bureau, she still didn't look very happy.

Seeing this, Hu Xing comforted her, "Sister, it's okay. Your husband is just away on a business trip and will be back soon. Besides, we were on the train last night, so he couldn't have notified us even if he wanted to. Let's go inside and rest first. You're heavily pregnant, so don't overwork yourself."

Su He could only force herself to cheer up. After the guards checked her luggage, she thanked them, and then the two of them went into the family compound with their bags and packages...
