Hearing Xu Qingqing's suggestion, Secretary Lin was somewhat tempted. If Xu Qingqing could really infiltrate the enemy and obtain the list of enemies lurking in the shadows of China, it would be a tremendous benefit to them.
Party Secretary Ji also thought the idea was good, but then he couldn't help but worry. Although the plan was feasible, the consequences of being discovered would be dire. He didn't want a young girl to do something so dangerous. Moreover, Xu Qingqing was a relative of that old general, and he couldn't agree to that alone.
With a sigh, Party Secretary Xu shook his head: "Xiao Xu, I still can't agree to your request. You have to understand how difficult it is to infiltrate the enemy. We have sent so many comrades in over the years, but unfortunately the enemy is too cunning. Not only did we fail, but we also lost so many comrades' lives."
Xu Qingqing gritted her teeth. This Secretary Xu was simply impervious to reason. The thought of saying goodbye to her Red Star sedan made her heart ache. She clutched her chest and slumped into her chair, her voice filled with sorrow: "Ah~, my Red Star, my beautiful and lovely Red Star, just like that, it's gone from me. Ah~, it hurts so much, my heart aches so much."
Secretary Lin couldn't bear to look and turned his head away. Having witnessed Xu Qingqing's outrageous actions last time, he felt nothing this time. He could even leisurely drink water without glancing in that direction even once.
However, he could look forward to the reaction of Secretary Xu and his colleagues.
The municipal party secretary and his colleagues were truly astonished by Xu Qingqing's outrageous actions; they couldn't help but be speechless.
Xu Qingqing took out her eye drops, squeezed them into her eyes, put them in her bag, and then started wailing. Her cries echoed throughout the small space.
The few people standing next to Secretary Ji were clearly unable to bear it. They covered their ears and tried to ignore Xu Qingqing's voice, secretly groaning in their hearts. No female comrade's voice could compare to Xu Qingqing's sharp voice, as if it pierced their eardrums and caused unbearable pain. They just hoped that Secretary Ji would agree as soon as possible.
"Ahhh—, goodbye my Red Star, it's a pity we were never meant to be, ahhh—"
"Alright! Stop wailing, I promise I'll apply to higher authorities!" Secretary Xu had no choice but to agree.
Upon hearing his agreement, Xu Qingqing immediately jumped up with joy. Sure enough, the squeaky wheel gets the grease; this trick never fails.
Seeing her happy expression, Party Secretary Ji couldn't help but pour cold water on her enthusiasm: "Don't be so happy yet. I'm just helping you apply. Whether it's approved or not is up to the higher-ups. If they don't approve it, I wonder where you can go to cry."
Xu Qingqing's face suddenly stiffened. Hearing this news made her mood plummet from heaven to hell like a rollercoaster. What the hell was going to happen?
He stood up, his face expressionless, and greeted Party Secretary Ji: "Since that's the case, then there's nothing more for me to do. I won't bother you any longer. Please make yourselves at home. Party Secretary Ji, Secretary Lin, and everyone else, goodbye!"
Xu Qingqing turned to leave, and Secretary Lin couldn't sit still and tried to stop her, but he was interrupted by a look from Secretary Ji, who shook his head at him. Secretary Lin had no choice but to give up and let Xu Qingqing open the door and walk out.
Xu Qingqing stood outside the door for a while, but no one came out to stop her. Her eyes were blazing with anger, and she was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder. She stomped her foot angrily and ran away, secretly vowing that she would never fall into her hands again. She would not be Xu Qingqing if she did not get ten or eight favors from her.
Inside the house behind him, Party Secretary Ji gave a slight smile. This girl's temperament was exactly the same as the old general's. They really shared the same surname. Then, as if thinking of something, his face darkened. He hoped that the old general's mood would improve after seeing Xu Qingqing.
He then instructed Secretary Lin, "Xiao Lin, keep a close eye on Xiao Xu from now on, and try your best to prevent her from causing trouble. If she does cause any problems that you can't handle, let me know and I'll take care of it."
"clear!"
Secretary Lin was surprised. What was the relationship between Secretary Ji and Xu Qingqing that made Secretary Ji personally give such an instruction? Perhaps Xu Qingqing's identity was not simple. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not ask anything and nodded to agree to Secretary Ji's instruction.
After giving a nod of approval, Party Secretary Ji bid farewell to Secretary Lin, got into his car, and prepared to return home.

On the other side, a man walked to the door of one of the houses, looked around twice, and after seeing that no one was around, knocked on the door. Then, footsteps came from inside. The woman opened the door and let the man in quickly. She looked outside and then closed the door.
The two went inside and checked the doors and windows before sitting down.
Nightingale's face was grim. She grabbed the man's shirt and angrily questioned him, "Blind man, didn't you say that the tomb in the Sanli Production Team was foolproof? Why was it exposed? You should know how important that tomb is to us. Now that it's ruined, what do you suggest we do?"
The blind man raised his hands and quickly begged for mercy: "Grandma, I really don't know how that tomb was exposed. The last time I went there was a month ago. Besides, even I didn't find the tomb door, yet they found it. There must be a master inside who can guide us."
The blind man was a descendant of tomb raiders who had learned the family's craft. He found the tomb by following the records left by his family. It was said to be an imperial tomb with countless burial objects, each one a priceless treasure.
He had been eyeing it for a long time and finally persuaded the organization to approve his plan to lead a group to infiltrate the area, find the emperor's tomb, and secretly transport the treasures out. However, before he could even pinpoint the location, the other side found him and exposed the emperor's tomb. Just thinking about it made him want to vomit.
He was filled with hatred, but unfortunately the other party kept it a secret so well that he couldn't find out a single thing. It was truly infuriating!
Nightingale wouldn't listen to the blind man's explanation. Recently, two of their people who had been lurking here had been killed in succession: Black Night and Old Ji. The higher-ups were already dissatisfied with them. One of them had a powerful background, and the other had been lurking for many years. Now that they were dead, the organization wanted her to find the culprit and bring him back for punishment.
Now, because of that tomb, the authorities don't know how to deal with them, which makes me furious.
"You'll have to explain this to your superiors yourself. If they get angry, you'll have to atone with your life!"
The nightingale left those words behind, picked up the frail blind man, and prepared to throw him out the door.
The blind man quickly said, "No, no, no, how could I dare to face the higher-ups? I know another way to explain to them."
Upon hearing this, the nightingale stopped what she was doing, released her grip, and asked in confusion, "Is there any other way? Tell me quickly!"
The blind man chuckled and slowly began to tidy his clothes. Finally, just as Nightingale was about to explode, he leaned close to her ear and whispered something.
