"Jing Ci, Meng Xiaoying and I haven't broken up. We just had some unpleasantness before, but we have reconciled now. I will definitely complete the task as soon as possible. Please give me another chance." Xu Wei was anxious and spoke very quickly, her voice much higher than before.
"Just shut up."
Gao Xuemei looked outside warily, her voice squeezed out from between her teeth, "You idiot, you're shouting so loudly, are you trying to drag me to death with you?"
Xu Wei had been too anxious just now, and now she quickly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with pleading, her voice lowered. "Jing Ci, I beg you, please give me one more chance. I promise not to cause trouble impulsively, and I will atone for my sins as soon as I recover."
"How can you atone for your sins? I'm thankful that you don't cause me any trouble."
Gao Xuemei glared at her, gnashing her teeth as she told her another story: "You didn't investigate carefully before and foolishly ordered Bao Quan and the others to take action. As a result, they suffered heavy losses last night, with seven or eight of them dead, and Bao Quan himself was beaten to a pulp and nearly lost his life. Now, not only are the Public Security Bureau involved in the investigation, but even that group is investigating. If I hadn't notified them in time and cleaned up the mess, this day next year would have been your death anniversary."
Xu Wei's pupils suddenly shrank, her face was filled with horror, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.
"If he hadn't arranged you here, I would have killed you with my own hands today." Gao Xuemei's expression was extremely cold-blooded and ruthless at this moment, and the cruelty hidden in her bones was revealed.
Xu Wei was so frightened by her that her heart trembled. She no longer dared to plead for mercy. Tears streamed down her face as she choked with sobs, "Jing Ci, I understand. I will go back to the branch office and complete the resignation procedures tomorrow."
"snort."
Gao Xuemei snorted coldly, and when she heard footsteps outside, her expression quickly changed and returned to her normal appearance.
It was Gao Feiyan who knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Xu Wei's red eyes, as if she had been crying, she was about to ask something when Gao Xuemei said in a gentle tone, "Comrade Xu Wei is not in a good mood. I just chatted with her. She said that after so many things happened recently, she couldn't stay in the art troupe anymore. She wanted to resign and go home, but she couldn't bear to leave here."
Gao Feiyan had heard about Xu Wei's situation and advised, "Xu Wei, don't worry about other things for now. The most important thing now is to recover from your injuries."
"Um."
Xu Wei nodded with a sob, and the corners of her mouth pulled up in a very forced and stiff arc.
"Xu Wei, you should have a good rest. We won't disturb you." After Gao Xuemei said that, she picked up the thermos that had not even been opened and went out with Gao Feiyan.
As soon as they left, Gong Linglong followed suit and continued to follow behind the face-changing actress Gao Xuemei.
Half an hour later, she rushed back home.
"Linglong, where have you been?"
Lu Jingchuan just returned home and didn't see her, so he was about to go out to look for her.
"Brother Jing, it's urgent."
Gong Linglong closed the door, pulled him into the bedroom, and quickly told him what she had discovered tonight by covering his ear.
Lu Jingchuan was shocked: "Gao Xuemei? Jingci?"
"Yes, I heard it clearly, there is absolutely no mistake."
Gong Linglong was certain that "Thorn" was Gao Xuemei's codename. After all, spy dramas often feature characters with various codenames. She continued, "Brother Jing, I just followed her out of the family quarters. She's now in the small market. Her lover is also hers, living in the bungalow at No. 6, East Street, the small market. They're planning some operations right now, and they're speaking in code, which I can't understand."
"Linglong, I understand."
Lu Jingchuan stared at her deeply and warned her seriously, "Linglong, your special ability must not be known to outsiders. If it is leaked, it will bring you fatal disaster."
"Brother Jing, I believe you."
The words "I believe you" made Lu Jingchuan feel indescribably moved. These four words were as heavy as a thousand pounds, as if she had entrusted her life and property to him.
He pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Linglong, don't worry. I would rather die than reveal your secret or investigate. I will respect your special ability."
Gong Linglong trusted her own judgment of people and his character. She pulled away from his embrace with a little force and urged him solemnly, "Brother Jing, I feel that Gao Xuemei's status is very high. Even her lover is very respectful to her in front of their accomplices. She must be a big fish. Take your men to follow up and investigate. Don't waste time."
"The Thorn is indeed a big fish, the big fish we have been searching for."
Lu Jingchuan whispered to her, his voice tinged with a smile, "Comrade Gong Linglong, you are my lucky star. Finding Jing Ci and killing him was one of my missions when I was transferred to the Seoul Military Region. Now that you've helped me find him, I can also eliminate his minions. Once this is over, my position will be promoted again."
Gong Linglong smiled when she heard this: "It seems that I am very lucky for my husband."
"My lucky star."
Lu Jingchuan hugged her and kissed her. She had brought back such important information, so he had to act immediately. He said, "Linglong, get some rest early. I'm going out now."
"Be careful." Gong Linglong reminded.
That night, the situation in the Seoul Military Region was bound to be turbulent, but Gong Linglong, who played a driving role in it, slept very soundly.
Lu Jingchuan worked all night long again and didn't return until dawn. As soon as he got home, he told Gong Linglong the good news: "Linglong, Gao Xuemei is dead."
Gong Linglong was washing up and was not surprised by the news. She just asked, "Did you kill him?"
"We wanted to keep her alive, but when she realized her identity was exposed, she committed suicide by taking poison."
The person who was still alive yesterday died overnight. Gong Linglong did not have any sympathy or compassion. Such an enemy spy who endangers the stability of the country must have done many evil things behind the scenes. She would not be satisfied even if she died a thousand times.
"Where are her lover and Xu Wei and the others?" Gong Linglong asked again.
"Xu Wei hasn't moved yet. Once she finishes her formalities and leaves the art troupe, we can use her to find the address of their base and branch, and then we can deal with her."
"Gao Xuemei's lover received her order last night and took his men to do the job. I have people following them. We will close the net and catch them all in one fell swoop today."
Gong Linglong understood that this was squeezing out the last bit of their usefulness.
She didn't ask any more questions. Thinking that he was going out to do something, she quickly poured him some water to wash up. "Wash your face first. Breakfast is ready. Eat after you finish eating."
"good."
Gong Linglong steamed some steamed buns and made two cups of milk, and the two of them quickly finished their breakfast.
When he went out, I took a small cloth bag and put some steamed buns and apples in it, as well as some egg cakes and candies to replenish his energy, so that he could eat them on the way.
He will definitely be very busy today and will not be able to eat three meals a day on time, so he can only bring some dry food and fruits to fill his stomach on the road.
