Qiu Jingwen took out a hundred-yuan note, looked at it, and confirmed that it was from Renmin City, but shook his head and said, "I can't accept this. You have to explain things clearly first, what do you want me to do?"
"Take the money first. Only then will I feel at ease and not be afraid that you will turn against me."
"Aren't you afraid that I've already betrayed you?"
"Impossible. After multiple verifications, the police still trust you. Otherwise, they wouldn't have allowed a spy to become the deputy factory director."
"This is too much money, it's really too hot to handle. I can't explain it to my family when I get home, and it's even more inconvenient to deposit it in the bank."

Time passed in this conversation, and the sun soon set. A wind blew through the reeds, making a rustling sound. Some birds took flight from the reeds for no apparent reason, emitting a strange bird call.

"I dare not think about those unrealistic things. I just want to live a normal life with my wife and children in a warm bed."
"But your identity dictates that you can't. Okay, we can hold off on taking the money for now. You can take it when you've thought it through."
Just then, a dozen or so fishing boats sped toward the edge of the reeds. Luo Xinyan looked at them, stared at Qiu Jingwen, and said, "You betrayed me. You called the police?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Xinyan swiftly drew a gun from her waist and pointed it at Qiu Jingwen's head, coldly saying, "Since that's the case, there's no need to keep you alive."
