"Just as you said, but there is one condition."
Director Liu pulled over a person who had previously sneaked into their base. This person was Zhou Shao's subordinate, and could be said to be his very trusted right-hand man. He was also a member of the Beijing circle.
"This man is useless. You guys kill him for me."
Director Liu spoke in a light tone, as if there was no difference between killing a person and killing a chicken.
Pei Guoan and Li Miaomiao had long expected that Director Liu would not be so easy to talk to and would not let them pass easily, but they did not expect it to be in this way.
But this was also expected. How could Director Liu agree not to drag them into this?
"Director Liu, this is a human life, it's not something that can be taken lightly."
Li Miaomiao frowned and said, with dissatisfaction on her face.
"One of his lives in exchange for three of yours—a good deal, isn't it? I told you I need to see your sincerity. What happened today will remain unknown to anyone outside this place. As long as you give me what you promised, we can continue living the same life as before without any consequences."
Seeing that Li Miaomiao was still unwilling and about to say something, Director Liu continued, "Comrade Li Miaomiao, I don't require you and your wife to do the killing, as long as you deal with this person. It may be a little difficult for you, but for your husband, this is a very simple matter, isn't it? I don't believe he has never taken a life on his hands."
Both sides knew each other's plans. While Li Miaomiao was dealing with Director Liu, she was talking to Ling Xiaoling in her mind.
"Ling Xiaoling, does the system have any drugs that can fake death and hide it from Director Liu?"
Director Liu was determined to drag them into this. She knew that they had to pass this level, otherwise there would be more difficult questions waiting for them.
"This is just a small matter, how can it be difficult for us, Tongzi? We not only have fake death drugs, but also high-end ones. Within a certain period of time, it can guarantee the life of the person who takes it, and transfer the serious damage to less important parts of the body."
When Li Miaomiao heard this, her worries were put to rest.
It is impossible to kill someone without reason, especially when the other party is someone Zhou Shao trusts. If he falls into the hands of these people, he will suffer a lot.
"Okay, I promise you, but you have to promise me that as long as I kill him, you will bring my son to me safely as soon as possible."
Director Liu was not surprised that Li Miaomiao agreed. After all, women care about their husbands and children the most, especially their children. This is a mother's Achilles' heel, and even Li Miaomiao is no exception.
The man that Director Liu pulled in originally had a dull expression as if he was waiting to die. He was tortured to the point of being lifeless. It seemed that he had no reaction to anything Director Liu said. But now he became excited.
"How can you be worthy of our leader by doing this? This is treason, you can't do this!"
Li Miaomiao became agitated when he heard this. "What do you want me to do? What can I do? I worked so hard for my superiors without expecting anything in return, and what's the result? They didn't protect my son. I can't imagine how scared he must be right now."
"You can't think like that. Sacrificing a small part of our interests is to make our country stronger. You can't fall for these people's tricks!"
"I don't care. All I want now is for my son to be safe."
Seeing that Li Miaomiao refused to listen and was determined to cooperate with the people on the other side of the sea, the man started to curse in frustration.
"Why are you scolding me? You don't want to live, and I don't want to betray my country. I don't want this life, but I can't ignore my son."
"That's just an excuse. You are traitors and betrayers!"
When Li Miaomiao heard this, she seemed to be furious. She slapped the other person and put a fake death pill and wound medicine into his mouth.
After doing this, Li Miaomiao seemed still unsatisfied: "You don't want me to kill someone, where's the gun?"
When Director Liu heard what Li Miaomiao said, a look of success flashed in his eyes, and he handed the gun at his waist to Li Miaomiao without any hesitation.
Li Miaomiao took the gun and shot the man once. It seemed that was not enough. Fearing that the man would not die and expose her, she fired a few more shots.
As expected, women can be extremely cruel when they are ruthless. Director Liu didn't expect Li Miaomiao to do this. The gun is his and the bullets inside are real. It is impossible to fake them. If he shoots them a few times, no one will be able to survive.
It was also because Li Miaomiao was ruthless enough that Director Liu never suspected that there was any trick involved.
"As expected of Comrade Li Miaomiao, she is indeed courageous."
"I have done what you asked, and I hope you can also fulfill your promise well."
"Don't worry, I'm sincere in my cooperation. Comrade Li Miaomiao, you're very kind, and I won't let you down. I can guarantee that your son will be fine, and I'll also make sure you get enough in return."
The people have already been killed. Director Liu doesn't think Pei Guoan and Li Miaomiao have any chance to regret. Since he did this, he was well prepared. As long as Li Miaomiao takes action, the handle will be in his hands.
Pei Guoan did not expect Li Miaomiao to do this, but no matter what Li Miaomiao did, Pei Guoan did not stop her.
He believed that Li Miaomiao would never do anything to betray the country. Moreover, his son was fine and had already escaped, so it was even more impossible for him to do such a thing.
Even if it was true that Li Miaomiao shot that man, Pei Guoan believed that there was something behind it.
"I only care about my son. I want to see him within two days, otherwise everything else will be forgotten!"
"Okay, no problem. I'll arrange it right away. Your son is well protected by me, but it will take time to bring him here. Within two days, I will bring him to you safely."
Li Miaomiao was quite satisfied when she heard this: "Then I'll wait."
It seemed that the cooperation was reached very well, and Li Miaomiao showed her sincerity. Director Liu could not bring Pei Yifan over immediately, but he took Li Miaomiao and Pei Yifan and his wife to visit their base.
Some confidential things were not hidden from them.
Pei Guoan, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Since you've agreed to cooperate, I can tell you all the information and data I have, but you have to let me understand your situation so that I can make a better judgment. It's useless to just perfunctorily tell me about these things that are on the surface."
When Director Liu heard Pei Guoan's words, his expression changed.
"As expected of the legendary Ninth Master, you're truly formidable! Well, since you're sincere about cooperating, we're in the same boat from now on. I don't need to hide anything anymore."
Based on the information he got from Pei Guoan, Director Liu was sure that the information Pei Guoan said was not perfunctory to him. This was a state secret. Since Pei Guoan had said it, it meant that he had really decided to cooperate and there was no possibility of regret. After thinking for a moment, he decided to take out the most core things and secrets.
