She is not a bird that merely sings melodious songs on a branch, but an eagle that should soar freely in the vast world.
Keeping her confined at home would be a real waste of talent.
Even under the guise of protection, it won't work.
Now Mayor Du and Brigade Commander Zeng have both spoken out, and Minister Yu Zhenhua has also personally come to visit.
Xie Zhiyan already had a general idea of what was going on. He estimated that once Shu Ying's simultaneous interpretation skills passed the assessment and the formalities were completed, she might be entrusted with an important task for the diplomatic reception next month.
But if she really goes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he won't be able to protect her as often...
Xie Zhiyan couldn't help but fall into a vortex of anxiety and uncertainty once again.
With Shu Ying's keen insight, she hardly needed to observe carefully before she noticed that Xie Zhiyan was acting strangely.
In fact, not only today, Xie Zhiyan's emotions have been fluctuating quite a bit in the past few days.
She pondered for a moment, then suddenly reached out and patted Xie Zhiyan's shoulder, smiling as she pretended to be a wise old man.
"I understand Empress Xie's concerns. Rest assured, I have long had my heart set on you. It is as firm and unbreakable as a rock, and there is no room for anyone else in my heart but you."
"My heart is completely filled with you."
As Shu Ying spoke, she covered her chest with a tender expression, sighed dramatically and adorably, and then composed a tune and began to sing.
"May we find one true love, and stay together until our hair turns white."
The military police's songs were off-key and strangely endearing.
Xie Zhiyan couldn't help but laugh and gently tapped Shu Ying's nose with his fingertip.
"Your Majesty, you should really take some time to improve your singing."
Shu Ying deliberately glared at him, but then couldn't help but laugh.
Xie Zhiyan's gaze lingered on Shu Ying's face, and the smile on his lips spread wider and wider.
He had never realized before that Shu Ying had such a cute and interesting side.
Meanwhile, at the port.
Shu Wenyuan leaned on a cane, dressed in a neat and expensive-looking suit, wearing a summer-style white silk hat with a black satin band around the brim, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose.
The standard attire of returned overseas Chinese.
As soon as they stepped onto the port, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit who had been waiting for a long time immediately came up to them, helped Shu Wenyuan up, quickly looked to both sides, and then lowered his voice.
"Comrade Shu, come with me, I'm here to meet you."
Shu Wenyuan immediately looked over cautiously.
The other party was disguised, and it took Shu Wenyuan a moment to recognize them after frowning.
"Chen Guojun?"
Chen Guojun nodded.
"You can rest assured and just follow me."
Shu Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and tried his best to keep up.
The two left the dock discreetly and quickly got into their car.
Returning to Shanghai, Shu Wenyuan was filled with mixed emotions.
When he and his wife Yang Wan were arrested, they thought they were doomed and were even prepared to die for their country.
However, the person who reported them was too impatient and took action before they were even transferred to a lower-level position.
The scene was chaotic, and Shu Wenyuan was forced into a corner and accidentally fell into the sea.
I thought his life was about to end there, but little did I know that there were our undercover agents among them, who had been waiting for their chance to strike.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the comrades who were lying in wait managed to rescue Shu Wenyuan, who had fallen into the sea.
However, considering the circumstances at the time, the comrades who were lying in wait acted quickly enough, but they were still a step too late.
They rescued him, but have yet to find his wife, Yang Wan.
As they walked, Chen Guojun whispered instructions to Shu Wenyuan.
"Next, we plan to transfer you from Shanghai to Beijing. After that, the most important thing is to find evidence of the whistleblower's betrayal as soon as possible."
"All the current circumstances are extremely unfavorable to you and Comrade Yang Wan."
"And the most difficult thing is that we still can't find a single witness who can vouch for you."
"But please believe in us, we have been working hard and there will definitely be results in the end, it just takes time."
"The organization will never abandon you."
Shu Wenyuan nodded.
“I understand that, otherwise I wouldn’t have come back to reunite with you.”
He had absolute trust in the organization; otherwise, he wouldn't have ignored his aching leg and kept up with the journey.
His only worry now is Yang Wan.
I wonder what she went through that day, where she is now, and how she's been coping with all this time...
He worried that his wife would be all alone, without someone to care for her, and that she would feel lonely and sad. He also worried that she might encounter some danger on her own.
The two had never been apart for most of their lives. They had always shared joys and sorrows, no matter what happened. Even when they were at their wits' end, as long as they held each other's hands, they still had the courage to stand firm and resist even in the midst of a raging storm.
But now they've separated...
As for his daughter... he had already heard from his colleagues not long after he was rescued that Shu Ying had taken her two children to the army to join Xie Zhiyan.
The family of four now lives in the military compound and is doing quite well. The couple's relationship is known throughout the compound for its excellent bond, and their two children are smart and adorable. They have already enrolled in the military kindergarten and are doing well academically.
Knowing that Shu Ying is doing well, knowing that she has Xie Zhiyan, Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan by her side, and that she is living in the military compound, there is naturally no need to worry about her safety.
They will definitely take good care of Shuying.
With them around, Shu Wenyuan felt at ease.
The only sad thing is that, for various reasons, he is unable to reunite with his daughter as soon as possible.
Looking at the familiar street scene around him, Shu Wenyuan couldn't help but recall the times he used to play on this street with his wife and daughter.
The sight of this place brings back painful memories...
Chen Guojun noticed that he seemed a bit off and couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Shu, what's wrong?"
Shu Wenyuan sighed softly.
"It's nothing, I just thought about the days when I was with my wife and daughter. I miss them a little, and... I'm also a little worried about my wife's current situation."
After all, their whereabouts have been unknown for so long, it's hard not to have all sorts of wild thoughts.
Chen Guojun immediately understood and made a sincere promise.
"Comrade Shu Wenyuan, please rest assured that the organization attaches great importance to this matter. In fact, we have been searching for Comrade Yang Wan without interruption during this period of time."
"At the same time, I solemnly promise you here that I will mobilize all my comrades and do everything we can to find Comrade Yang Wan as soon as possible."
"We will inform you as soon as we have any news."
Chen Guojun spoke solemnly, but his eyes held a hint of guilt.
That's what they said, but both of them knew it wasn't an easy task.
Yang Wan and Shu Wenyuan were arrested separately. Shu Wenyuan accidentally fell into the sea but was rescued, while Yang Wan disappeared on a mountain road.
