"Pfft"

Hu Xing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh.

Sister Liu looked over curiously.

Seeing this, Su He glared at him, then introduced, "This is my younger brother, Hu Xing. He was worried that it wouldn't be safe for me to travel alone, so he specially brought me here."

Upon hearing this, Sister Liu's eyes widened in surprise. "This is your brother? Oh dear, he doesn't look like you at all! He looks much older than you. He's aged so much!"

Hu Xing: "..."

"Pfft"

This time, it was Su He's turn to laugh.

However, Aunt Liu didn't seem to realize anything was wrong. After giving them the keys, she told them to contact her if they needed anything, and then hurriedly went home to cook.

Su He and the other person breathed a sigh of relief after she left and they closed the door.

Hu Xing put down the bags and packages, then carefully checked the room to make sure it was safe before shaking his reddened hands. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "What did you bring? Why so much stuff?"

Su He calmly replied, "My family thought I was on a business trip. Since I've been away for so long, of course I need to prepare more. Besides, it's normal for us to bring so little when we've come all this way."

Hu Xing thought for a moment, "That's true."

After saying that, he looked around the house again, somewhat envious. "This house is nice. It's spacious and has two bedrooms. It's much better than the staff quarters in our unit."

Su He nodded, "That's right, what can you expect when it's an important national institution? The benefits are good."

The two exchanged a few wistful remarks, then tidied up briefly, and Su He laid out the bedding she had brought.

She was heavily pregnant and felt tired after all the commotion, so she wanted to lie down and rest for a while.

Hu Xing wasn't too tired, so he took his boxed lunch and went out to the cafeteria to buy food and inquire about the situation.

After Su He left, she lay down and took a short nap. Not long after, she woke up when she heard the door open. When she got up and went out, she saw that Hu Xing had already returned with the food.

She didn't stand on ceremony and started eating as soon as she sat down. Anyway, their expenses during their undercover work were reimbursed, and knowing that Su He ate a lot, Hu Xing also gave her plenty of food.

After they finished eating, Su He asked, "How was it? Did you find out anything on this trip?"

Hu Xing shook his head. "I only know the general layout of the family compound. There are only four buildings here, with about 100 households. It will probably be very difficult to investigate."

Su He nodded, not too worried.

"I had already done my research before coming here. The families who moved in six months before the information leak should be fine, so we can basically rule them out."

In addition, people who work outside should also have been screened.

As mentioned above, this investigation mainly focuses on households that have moved in within the last six months.

Hu Xing nodded, "That's alright, but I guess it won't be easy to find out the truth. You can't just go out of your way to contact them; it's obvious they have ulterior motives."

Su He couldn't help but roll her eyes at him after hearing that word, "I don't want you to wonder why the higher-ups arranged for me to stay here."

What's wrong with living here?

Seeing that he didn't understand, Su He reminded him, "Sister Liu."

"Sister Liu?" Hu Xing understood now. "Oh, I see. Sister Liu seems like a very enthusiastic person. She will definitely introduce you to other people, so you will have a reason to get to know them."

“Yes!” Su He nodded. “Besides that, there’s my profession. I need material for my articles, so I can use that as a starting point to gather information from everyone.”

"Right, right, I forgot you're also a 'writer'."

Su He glared at him. "Go back and study the code carefully. Don't forget it. We'll be using this to contact each week from now on. Also, the bureau has already contacted the magazine. Don't forget to send the sample copies over."

"knew."
