Xiao Che arranged for people to keep an eye on the troops on both sides, not daring to relax their vigilance in the slightest.
Moreover, all the people he's been in contact with these past few days are highly suspicious, and if those people then come into contact with others, those people become suspects as well. With this network of relationships, he has to arrange for people to investigate them all.
He was shocked when he investigated; they had actually developed to that extent.
They have people among everyone, from high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals to ordinary citizens.
The relationships within are complex, involving not only spies from Country A but also those from other countries. For the sake of the project's data, they have temporarily joined forces, and how they divide the profits is a matter between them.
He also had to sift through the jumbled messages he received to find the most important information and people.
This is no ordinary project!
As he dug deeper, he also gleaned the purposes and plans of both sides.
He had been guarding the director's house for the past two nights, and tonight, the night before their plan, Pei Zhen had also sent people to keep watch.
He didn't choose to stay with Pei Zhen because Pei Zhen's purpose wasn't hard to guess. He couldn't possibly let Yin Zhi and Annie go back to Country A and live a carefree life. And since only Yin Zhi could get the project, the only possibility was that he would target them when he got it and was about to leave!
Besides, he's all alone now, and he'll probably want to give up everything here and personally deliver the documents to Country A.
Since he's pretty sure he's guessed correctly, there's no need for him to waste time on Pei Zhen.
However, he needs to personally confirm with the director before he can make arrangements for the next steps.
That's why he's hiding in the director's house.
The director lives with his wife; his son and daughter-in-law work in the city and rarely come back.
Fortunately, he was not disappointed. That evening, the director's son returned from the city, but he came alone, without his wife.
In the dead of night, the father and son sneaked out of their respective rooms, met up, and then quietly went upstairs to the study.
Xiao Che followed quietly to the study door. He quietly pried the door open a crack, just enough to hear what was going on inside.
The director inside was completely devoid of his daytime friendliness and politeness; his face was filled with a smug and arrogant smile.
However, he subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Son, are you ready? Tomorrow we can leave here and head towards a wonderful new life. Hahahaha."
The young man sitting next to him looked about 60% like him, wearing black-rimmed glasses and appearing very refined; they were clearly father and son.
But his face didn't show much joy; instead, it was filled with conflict and contradiction.
After thinking for a moment, he still wanted to try to persuade his mother and wife, so he asked, "Dad, what about my mother and Miaomiao? If we go there and leave them here, they will definitely be implicated! Neither Pei Zhen nor the country will let them off the hook!"
Those were his own mother and wife! How could he bear to leave them? He knew that if he and his son left, the country would definitely punish them for treason, and their families would not have a good ending either! Whenever he thought of this, his heart was filled with conflict and reluctance.
On one hand, he really wanted to go to Country A, which had been his dream since he was a child. His father had described Country A to him as something wonderful since he was little. He had longed to go there since he was a child.
