Seeing her husband hesitate while looking at the phone, Jiang Yuping said, "Jingwen, I suggest you tell Shao Jian everything. Don't let the leaders have bad ideas about you. You are a recruit, or you could say an undercover agent. You should report your actions and contacts in advance. Besides, it will also ensure your own safety."
"Okay, whatever my wife says."
As Qiu Jingwen spoke, he picked up the receiver and asked the switchboard operator for Shao Jian's home phone number.
The call connected quickly, and Shao Jian coldly asked, "Qiu Jingwen, I've been waiting for this call from you. Let's see if you're going to make it tonight."
"Director Shao, I'm sorry."
Qiu Jingwen could naturally sense the displeasure in the other party's voice on the phone, so he had no choice but to apologize. Meanwhile, Shao Jian harshly criticized his trembling behavior over the phone, his words mostly out of concern for his safety. Faced with this situation, Qiu Jingwen had no choice but to give a report. Since his wife was with him, his report was basically the same as what she had reported, and he selectively omitted many details.
In addition to reporting, Qiu Jingwen also proposed his next steps, but Shao Jian did not respond. Instead, he asked, "Is your wife with you?"
"Then you should get some rest, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Before Qiu Jingwen could respond, Shao Jian hung up the phone.
Qiu Jingwen, holding the microphone, paused for a moment before putting the phone down.
For a fleeting moment, Qiu Jingwen sensed that Shao Jian was wary of his wife, but this feeling was only momentary. "Yu Ping, Director Shao said he didn't want to bother us and hung up the phone."
“I understand,” Jiang Yuping replied, lying down fully clothed. Qiu Jingwen followed suit, the two of them lying very close together face to face, but neither of them spoke. After about a minute, Qiu Jingwen took the initiative to reach out and hug his wife: “Yuping, don’t worry, the worst is over.”
Qiu Jingwen was already at ease. He had been turned and was willing to become a double agent and undercover agent. Even if he lost his life one day, he would have no regrets. After all, he was now a member of the revolutionary ranks, and his parents were undoubtedly revolutionaries. Even if something happened to him, he had discussed it with Shao Jian and decided not to reveal his identity as a spy. This way, Qiu Shou, Qiu Chan, and Qiu Shui would not feel burdened by the thought of him being a spy.
To Qiu Jingwen's surprise, around 10 a.m. the next day, the security guard called his office on the internal phone, saying that an old man named Zhou Hailin wanted to see him and asked Qiu Jingwen for his opinion on whether to let him in.
"Oh, he's an acquaintance of mine. Please arrange for someone to bring him to my office."
He spoke to the security guard on the phone.
