"Qiu Jingwen, don't be ungrateful. Believe me or not, I'll send your file from when you joined the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics to the Public Security Bureau. Your career and your happy family will be completely ruined. You should think about it carefully."
"Stop trembling, tell me, where shall we meet?"
"Meet? Who said I wanted to meet you?"
“If we don’t meet, why should I believe you? You have to provide some proof of your identity as Butterfly. I’m not so stupid as to believe just anyone. Take Liu Yihan, for example. He was just trying to extort three thousand yuan from me and has already cut ties with them.”
“I’m different from him; I’ve actually made contact with them.”
"I've made contact with you and asked you to do something. I won't pay you. You're asking me for money? Nobody would believe that."
“I’ll make you believe me. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll call you tomorrow afternoon to arrange a meeting place. I’m giving you a heads-up beforehand: if you report this to the police and get them involved, don’t blame me for being ruthless towards you and your wife and children.”

However, he felt it was too early to tell Shao Jian since the agreed meeting place hadn't been clearly stated. He decided to wait for Butterfly to tell him the specific location before contacting Shao Jian.
At dinner that day, Qiu Jingwen made strict demands of Qiu Shou, Qiu Chan, and Qiu Shui, requiring them to stay home after school and not go anywhere else, especially not to play in the nearby woods or countryside. He also instructed Qiu Shui not to go anywhere else, except to either go to the clinic with her mother or stay home and read books at the union. These demands undoubtedly made everyone tense again, and even his wife, Jiang Yuping, suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Qiu Shui looked at Qiu Jingwen and said, "Dad, is there something wrong with our family again? Have enemy agents appeared in the factory again and are they going to cause trouble again?"
Before Qiu Jingwen could respond, Qiu Shou, his eyes darting around, asked, "Dad, are there spies trying to sabotage us again?"
