Director Chen and Qi Yuhua rushed back to the city without stopping.
Only the two of them knew about this.
Qi Yuhua took the teacher home.
He said in a low voice
"Teacher, you should do more preparation in the next couple of days."
It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.
I don't know why, but when I said those words, I surprisingly trusted Jiang Tiecheng.
Director Chen nodded.
"Xiao Qi, no matter what happens to the teacher here."
At that point, do not impulsively step forward to speak well of the teacher; the more you say at that time, the more likely you are to make a mistake.
"Teacher, how could I possibly stand idly by?"
"What can you do about something like this?"
Getting you involved is never a good thing.
If you, with your impeccable family background, weren't implicated, your teacher might even turn to you for help when facing difficulties.
If everyone gets involved, think about it, who will the teacher turn to then?
Qi Yuhua was speechless at her teacher's words. Indeed, her teacher was right. If something really happened, her teacher's family might need her help.
Many people who encounter this situation will suffer the loss of their families and even a bad end.
Qi Yuhua nodded vigorously.
Director Chen returned home; his family lived in a courtyard reserved for high-ranking officials.
This courtyard is quite remarkable.
When he got home, he saw his wife sitting in the living room, not asleep. She was reading the newspaper with the light on and was a little surprised to see him.
"Didn't you say you were going to the county town down there today and wouldn't be coming back?"
Why are you back so late? Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll make you something.
"I'm not hungry, I want to talk to you about something."
He pulled his wife back to the study and explained what had happened; his wife's face immediately changed color.
With the sensitivity of a professional undercover agent, she was well aware of the price she had to pay for this job.
At the time, she was the head of an enemy intelligence department.
If someone makes a fuss about their identity, there's really no way to defend themselves.
"Will that really happen?"
She could hardly believe that she had done so much and made such great contributions.
Can't we prove our character and our loyalty to our ideals?
"It's better to believe it than not to believe it. Let's stop talking now and clean up the house. Get rid of all the things that are not good for you, including all the books and documents."
The couple were terrified when they searched the entire study; they were shocked to find they had turned the room upside down.
When my wife was an undercover agent, she lived a comfortable life, so naturally she kept a lot of things around her.
If no one reports these things, no one will say anything even if they are kept at home.
But if it were actually copied, this would be enough to determine that a person has a bad character.
In particular, there are some foreign language books and various foreign pictorials.
The couple exchanged a glance, and everyone felt a lingering sense of unease.
The two of them cleaned up all the things overnight and then thoroughly cleaned up the house from top to bottom.
By the time the couple finally rested, it was already dawn.
Director Chen did not rest.
Even though my body is resting now, my mind is still working.
If Jiang Tiecheng told him the time, time was very tight, and he had to make arrangements for himself, his wife, and the children right now.
If a working group really comes to our door, that would be a very significant event.
Some of my old friends have also experienced this.
Once you fall into such a situation, it's basically a matter of life and death.
The wife watched as her husband finally mustered the courage to confront the situation. She realized that she was the one who had caused it, and that given his background, he should never have ended up in such a predicament.
"Old Chen, don't say anything more. If the work team comes, we'll get a divorce."
This is the best option.
Director Chen frowned.
"What are you saying? I'm a grown man. If I were to abandon my wife and children at a crucial moment, what kind of man would I be?"
Listen to me!
At this point, everyone knew that the situation would be very serious.
Rather than you sharing my joys and sorrows.
Why bother?
After we get divorced, you can still live a good life with the children.
"If they want to settle me down then, it will be very easy. Why should our whole family jump into a fire pit?"
One sentence reminded Old Chen of what Jiang Tiecheng had said about his wife, who, unable to bear the humiliation, hanged herself.
Yes, under those circumstances, his wife hanged herself, he became lame, and his children were devastated.
He wanted to be there for his wife through thick and thin; he was definitely not the kind of man who would do such a thing.
But is this the best option?
Seeing that her husband had listened to her, the wife began to persuade him again.
"Think about what Xiao Jiang calculated. If we really can't escape this calamity, I can bear everything by myself."
When I was working undercover, I thought about what I might encounter.
Since I've considered the final consequences, what is there that I can't bear?
I don't want my husband and children to bear the consequences. As long as you don't fall, the children won't be threatened.
The children can live well, and if you are here, you can still protect me if you think of a way.
Rather than both of us ending up in that situation, each of us struggling to survive.
Why not give up some things?
We are husband and wife. I know what kind of person you are, and you know what kind of person I am.
I would give anything for my beliefs, but I don't want to die a humiliating death in the end.
Please, I'm begging you, so that your wife can have a better life in the future.
You'll just be that heartless man then.
Looking into his wife's pleading eyes, he knew, of course, that he was an upright man who had never allowed anyone to criticize him.
If I make such a choice today, in the eyes of outsiders I will be Chen Shimei, someone who abandons his wife to weigh the pros and cons.
He will be looked down upon by everyone and bear a bad reputation. No matter how high he climbs, in the end, he will still be seen as a heartless man by others.
But compared to the future that Jiang Tiecheng had envisioned for his family...
I'm a man, what's a little grievance compared to that?
"Old Chen, we've been married for so many years, and our children are all grown up now. Think about it."
We've suffered so much already, are we really going to make our child and you take the blame for me in the end?
"Old Chen and the others told you to draw a clear line, so we will."
The family heard what the father said in the study.
The three sons and one daughter stared wide-eyed in disbelief. How could this be?
They grew up in very comfortable circumstances with their parents, enjoying resources that others did not have.
They were highly regarded among their peers, and everyone was filled with envy whenever their father and mother were mentioned.
Unexpectedly, one day they heard such horrifying news.
