Song Yalan asked, puzzled, "What important thing do you need to write down? Can't I just write it down? Why do your notes have to be exactly the same?"
Si Muyang said, "Because if the handwriting is different, they will question the authenticity of this letter. This letter is very important, more important than my life. Help me up."
Song Yalan was shocked. A letter was more important than Si Muyang's life. What could it possibly say?
She had no choice but to do as Si Muyang said. She helped Si Muyang up and placed a quilt behind him so that he could lean against it.
Si Muyang leaned against the quilt, with a piece of red-lined paper on his lap, but the quilt was so soft that he couldn't write properly.
Song Yalan looked around the room anxiously and went straight to the washbasin stand.
There was a basin on the washbasin stand, and the basin was half full of water.
There was also an enamel basin under the washbasin stand, which was for Si Muyang to wash his feet.
The enamel basin was completely dry, without a single drop of water.
Song Yalan picked up the basin and placed it over Si Muyang's lap, then put the lined paper on the bottom of the basin.
With the basin supporting him, the lined paper stood upright. Si Muyang used all his strength to grip the pen and wrote word by word.
But he was too weak and had to rest after writing just a few words.
Looking at the familiar notes, Song Yalan realized that they didn't seem to be written by someone so weak that they couldn't even sit up.
It's clear how much willpower Si Muyang used!
The contents of the letter horrified her even more.
In his letter, Si Muyang surprisingly admitted that he was the real spy and that he was the one who leaked all the key data in the classified documents. He claimed that Cheng Xiaokui had nothing to do with the matter!
He had a change of heart because he was dying, so he told the whole story, not wanting Cheng Xiao Kui to take the blame for him.
Song Yalan shook her head and said, "No, this isn't true! You can't write it like that! You only admitted to being a spy to save Cheng Xiaokui! Writing this will get you into trouble! Have you thought about yourself?!"
Si Muyang said, "I've thought about it. Xiao Kui has sacrificed too much for me. She's been dragged down by me!"
If I hadn't gone home and had gone straight back to the military region, she wouldn't have been implicated because of me…
Song Yalan said, "Even if she escapes this time, do you think the spies who want to steal data can become enlightened after this incident?"
They'll definitely steal the data again! They might escape this time, but they can't escape the next, because they only need to succeed once, even if they fail countless times!
"Whether it's you or Cheng Xiao Kui, you can't afford to lose, not even once!"
Si Muyang said, "It's all my fault! We're already divorced, so why am I still so obsessed with remarrying her?"
He closed his eyes painfully. If he could have a choice, he would disappear from Cheng Xiao Kui's life completely after the divorce, in order to protect Cheng Xiao Kui's safety.
As long as she stays away from him, Cheng Xiao Kui will definitely be safe, and with Cheng Xiao Kui's abilities, she will never lack suitors.
Cheng Xiao Kui will definitely find a man who is more suitable for her!
Song Yalan cried and said, "So, she traded her life for yours. And now you want to trade your life for hers?"
Si Muyang said, "This is not something she should have to bear! After I finish writing this letter, you should hand it over to your superiors!"
Song Yalan broke down completely, "No, I won't go! I'd rather die than go!"
Si Muyang's voice suddenly turned cold, "This is my order! All actions must be carried out according to command, and subordinates must obey their superiors!"
Song Yalan cried and said, "Don't forget how you were brought to the hospital?"
Cheng Xiao Kui risked his life to save yours. How could you betray his kindness?!
Si Muyang said, "It's precisely because I know how good she is to me that I won't allow her to do anything foolish! If someone has to take the blame, then I'll take it!"
These things had absolutely nothing to do with her, not even a little bit. It was my fault that she was ruined!
Song Yalan said, "But have you thought about this? She has already admitted that she is a spy. If you were to write a letter admitting that you are a spy at this time..."
Does the higher-ups believe you or Cheng Xiao Kui? There's no need to even think about it; spies can't be let slip by mistake, so you'll both become subjects of the investigation and prime suspects!
Your letter will not only fail to save her, but it will also destroy everything Cheng Xiaokui risked everything for you! How can you face her for all the good intentions she's shown you?
Si Muyang's pale lips parted slightly; he hadn't considered this angle.
Perhaps it was because he was too concerned that he made a mistake; he just wanted to take on everything himself to save Cheng Xiao Kui.
But clearly, the outcome that Song Yalan described is the most likely outcome!
He paused briefly, then said, "You're right... but I'll still write this letter."
Song Yalan said, "You clearly said I was right. Why did you still write the letter?"
My brother has already gone to investigate the real spies. Let's wait for his findings! My brother doesn't want you and Cheng Xiao Kui to be labeled as spies!
"Trust the Song family; with all our strength, we will uncover the truth!"
Si Muyang said, "It's not that I don't believe in the Song family's abilities, nor that I don't believe in your brother's good intentions."
He's my best brother, and I know he'd go to great lengths for me. In this situation, the best course of action is to find out who the real spy is.
But have you considered what if something unexpected happens? What if they can't find the real spy? Or what if I die?!
