"Go all out? How come I didn't know?" Wang Shouren was shocked.
"Otherwise, quite a few of us have gone abroad over the years. Most of them sent their families abroad while they themselves stayed in China doing this and that. In some northern cities back in the 1990s, people were starving to death. It would be strange if they didn't take drastic measures."
"So that's how it is..." Wang Shouren scratched his chin. He knew some things, but there were many things he couldn't solve. He was just one person, and the scope of his influence across the country was so vast. There were things he shouldn't interfere with, and those were ironclad rules.
He sighed, "People are never satisfied."
"Actually, it's not their problem." Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "I heard that some of the people involved have problems."
"There's a problem?" Wang Shouren was startled again: "You mean..."
"Didn't you already figure it out?" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes. "You're trying to trick me into revealing information."
"Hey." Wang Shouren chuckled, then said nothing more.
Perhaps, this is the real reason why Qin Tian came today.
The imagined spy infiltrates secretly, lives a normal life, and finally risks everything to steal some intelligence. That's considered a success.
In reality, the existence of such spies is quite ordinary.
How do skilled spies operate?
To establish a foothold in China, it would be best to pass the civil service exam. Then, some "foreign investment" would come to this area, helping him get promoted and expand his influence.
Next, do you think he should do something bad?
No, those who do bad things are just not good enough.
He only needs to behave normally in his position; he doesn't even need to tell his children about his true identity. All he needs to do is favor the sycophantic and distance himself from the virtuous. Then, in raising his children, he should cultivate arrogance and domineering behavior, making them look down on the lower classes and ordinary people.
Finally, his successor took over his business.
The entire system collapsed.
Spies who are this well hidden are impossible to catch.
He may have political achievements, be a decent person, make some minor mistakes, or have problems with his children; at most, it can be attributed to his failure in parenting. In the end, even if he's caught, they won't be able to extract much information from him. However, the collapse of the entire system requires a very long time and significant resources to repair.
This kind of spy is the most terrifying.
Because you can't tell whether this person has a problem or is a spy.
Of course, Wang Shouren was excluded. If he were also a spy, given what he'd done over the years, the higher-ups would probably have to burn some incense for the guy who sent him out.
"But what exactly is his purpose in coming here?"
"What else could it be for? I just want to see if you're willing to help. We have connections overseas, quite a few of them."
“Tsk, I’m not doing this.” Wang Shouren shook his head. “Let’s not get involved. Let them do what they want. It’s not easy to survive overseas.”
"Exactly, let's live our own lives and not meddle." Lou Xiao'e nodded in agreement; she didn't want to get involved in anything political. She might end up completely destroyed.

Everyone says that Xu Yuanzheng has a bright future.
And indeed, that's exactly what happened. At the age of twenty-five, he graduated with his doctorate ahead of schedule and went directly to Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing. He became a doctor, and within just one year, he began publishing papers. If nothing unexpected happens, he is undoubtedly a future elite talent, and it's even possible that he will become an elite doctor in his thirties.
However, this elite individual is facing difficulties today.
"Xu Yuanzheng! Speak!" A pretty girl with a single ponytail stared angrily at Xu Yuanzheng, waiting for his answer.
Xu Yuanzheng: ...
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the girl's eyes gradually began to moisten, and her voice was aggrieved and stubborn: "I just want an answer, is that not allowed?"
Xu Yuanzheng looked into the girl's beautiful eyes, and for some reason, a flutter of excitement crossed his heart. The girl was his senior, Lian Nuannuan, who had entered Peking Union Medical College at the same time as him, and was also of a very high caliber. She had confessed her feelings to him when they were both first-year doctoral students. He, however, used his studies as an excuse to reject her advances.
The two were quite destined to meet, graduating at the same time and entering Peking Union Medical College at the same time.
Just as Xu Yuan was pondering.
Lian Nuannuan's stubborn voice came through: "If you really don't want to agree to my request, then I'm going to go on a blind date. I can't put it off any longer."
Xu Yuanzheng was suddenly startled. He recalled the days he had spent with his senior sister over the years, and his mouth opened slightly: "I... my family situation is rather complicated... do you... do you mind?"
Lian Nuannuan's eyes lit up, and she tossed her hair: "What's there to mind? I'm marrying you, not your family. Let me tell you, if we save up our current salaries and take out a loan, we can buy a house around here. That'll be enough."
Even Nuannuan immediately started dreaming about the future.
"Get...married?" Xu Yuanzheng began to stammer.
"What! You don't want to marry me? You just want to play with me?!"
"No, no!" Xu Yuanzheng quickly waved his hand, "I'm just afraid you won't be able to accept it."
"I can't accept anything."
"They can't accept my family."
"What's the big deal? Just set a time, and I'll go home with you to meet him! If I can accept it, can we get married?!" Lian Nuannuan grinned and asked.
"Ah..." Xu Yuanzheng scratched his head, seemingly finding no logical flaws. The thought of marrying Lian Nuannuan filled him with excitement, and he nodded, "Okay!"
Lian Nuannuan finally showed a satisfied smile: "Okay, you set a time, I'll go with you, bye-bye."
After saying that, Lian Nuannuan went out the door. After she left, she waved her hand vigorously, her little face flushed. If Xu Yuanzheng hadn't been such a blockhead, she really wouldn't have been able to pull this off.
He quickly pulled out his phone and called: "Mom! I did it! The method you taught me works really well!"
"Oh, he said he was worried I wouldn't be able to accept his family. I think it's fine. How bad could his family be? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You know me, I've always been popular with older folks. I'll definitely win him over!"
"What? No need, no need. He and I are rich. We can earn enough to buy a house ourselves. Don't worry, it's all good."
"What are you saying? I could forget anyone but you, my dear Mom!"
