The agent who had just spoken turned cold. "What? You want to betray us? You should think about how many bullets you can fit in your heads."
Tan Aihua remained stubbornly focused on the two men, saying, "You should know which is more important. Even if we were shot, your future operations would likely face even greater difficulties."
That was absolutely true. The two agents exchanged a glance and reluctantly pulled out several thick stacks of yuan notes from their coats. "Fine, you've got guts."
Tan Aihua took the money with a cold face. "Also, we've been here for a year now. We agreed that we would go to Russia after a year. Now that time has come, please go back and ask them when they will fulfill their promise."
The two spies exchanged another glance, said nothing, and nodded to indicate that they understood.
Zheng Qian's heart had been pounding the whole time; his wife was incredibly reckless. Now that it was over, he quickly pulled Tan Aihua away.

Zheng Qian didn't quite understand what Tan Aihua meant by that.
In the mountains, two spies carefully removed the artifacts one by one, wrapping them again in thick cotton cloth. "How foolish! They actually thought they could get to Russia. Little did they know, before they even reach the border, they'll..."
"Shut up!" This was the agent's harsh voice, spoken in broken Mandarin. "You Chinese have an old saying: 'Walls have ears.' Some things are better left unsaid; just keep them to yourself."
Standing atop a tree above them, Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. Interesting. This Russian even studies Chinese culture. But has he been particularly active lately? Heh, wanting to leave China? Well, that depends on whether Tang Yue agrees.
