now,
Jiang Yuping, the wife, was cooking in the kitchen.
Hearing the noise coming from the restaurant, he immediately ran out of the kitchen.
Upon seeing the broken chair and Qiu Jingwen sitting on the ground, he was filled with surprise.
"His dad, you---you---what's wrong?"
After saying that, she took two steps forward and immediately pulled her husband up from the ground.
Qiu Jingwen's eyes were glazed over, and he was like a puppet, letting his wife do whatever she wanted.
Seeing that her husband didn't respond, Jiang Yuping quickly said:
"Oh well, the chair is broken, as long as no one is hurt. Besides, this chair was made by a carpenter when we got married. It's over 20 years old. If it falls apart, so be it. We'll just buy a new one tomorrow."
To Jiang Yuping's surprise, her husband still didn't respond.
Jiang Yuping's heart skipped a beat. What was wrong with her husband today?
She reached out and turned on the restaurant light, but was startled by her husband standing in front of her.
Because Qiu Jingwen's face was completely bloodless, so pale it was almost frightening.
"Jingwen, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?!"
"Yu---Yu Ping, it's nothing."
"Did you catch a cold from being caught in the rain?"
"Probably, maybe, perhaps."
Qiu Jingwen gave an ambiguous response.
He didn't even dare to look his wife in the eye.
Over the years, Qiu Jingwen has always felt sorry for his wife, Jiang Yuping.
He felt that he had been deceiving his simple, kind, and beautiful wife.
He had thought countless times that the truth would eventually come out, and that his identity as a spy would be exposed one day, either by the public security organs or by the Kuomintang's secret police.
Sometimes, he even considered whether or not to turn himself in to the police.
However, as the children were born one by one,
As he rose through the ranks in the workshop, from foreman to section chief, from section chief to deputy workshop director, and then from deputy director to workshop director, he lost all courage to turn himself in.
Because surrendering would mean losing everything he has now, including his stable job at the military factory and a happy family.
Yes,
Qiu Jingwen is afraid of losing everything she has.
But today,
When Liu Yihan called him Sun Jiadong.
When Liu Yihan gave his code name, Cobra
He completely broke down.
He thought he might lose everything.
He was more afraid of losing everything he had.
Qiu Jingwen stood there blankly, as if his soul had been taken away.
Liu Han's wrinkled and scarred old face swayed before his eyes like a demon, making him break out in a cold sweat.
Over the years, Qiu Jingwen has always harbored a time bomb in his heart.
This ticking time bomb has finally surfaced today and could explode at any moment.
If the explosion happens, his job, his lover, his children...
Family, friendship, love, work, career—everything will be blown to pieces, or even cease to exist.
Jiang Yuping was shocked to realize that something was wrong with her husband.
This was the first time in all their years of marriage that she had noticed her husband looking so unwell.
As a doctor at the Hongqi Factory clinic, Jiang Yuping immediately noticed that her husband was preoccupied with something, and even showed a hint of fear and despair on his face.
"Jingwen, what's wrong with you? You seem like you've lost your soul."
As Jiang Yuping spoke, she reached out and touched her husband's forehead.
This touch startled her so much that she immediately screamed.
Jiang Yuping has over twenty years of experience as a doctor.
She was startled when her hand touched her husband's forehead.
The husband's forehead was burning hot, like a small fireball.
"Oh dear, Jingwen, your forehead is burning hot! You have a high fever! Quickly, get some fever-reducing medicine."
Qiu Jingwen moved his wife's hand away and forced a smile.
"Yuping, it's okay. I just got caught in the rain. I'll go to the public bathhouse for a hot bath and change my clothes. Maybe I'll be fine. It's alright."
He didn't want to stay at home.
He wanted to avoid his wife and children.
He needs to calm down and figure out what to do next.
Jiang Yuping was very supportive when she heard that her husband wanted to go to the public bathhouse.
"Okay, dinner isn't ready yet, why don't you go take a hot bath first?"
As she spoke, Jiang Yuping then instructed Qiu Jingwen:
"Pile the broken chairs on the balcony, and I'll get you some clothes. I'll also have Wei Hong bring some fever reducer back from the infirmary in a bit."
Jiang Yuping is very efficient.
She went into the bedroom, tidied up her husband's clothes and put them in a plastic bag, then went into the bathroom and put the shampoo, towels, and foot cloths in another plastic bag.
Having prepared everything, she handed two bags to Qiu Jingwen.
Qiu Jingwen took the clothes and plastic bags, thanked his wife, and then opened the door and went downstairs.
He wanted to escape.
He didn't want to face his wife.
He also needed to think about how to deal with Liu Han, who had awakened him.
"Jingwen, bring an umbrella."
Jiang Yuping remembered that it was still raining outside, so she grabbed an umbrella and chased after them.
As Qiu Jingwen was about to walk down the stairs, her eyes were already moist when she reached out to take the umbrella.
His gaze wandered elsewhere, but his wife did not notice.
At that moment, he felt like crying.
Qiu Jingwen had certainly thought about it.
The sudden appearance of Liu Han, the rattlesnake.
It will inevitably disrupt his current peaceful and happy life.
Seeing her husband leave, Jiang Yuping immediately thought of getting him some fever-reducing medicine.
