If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth

Jiang Lie said in a low voice, "There's one more thing. After we catch them, we need you to put on a show for Zhou Dahai so he knows his identity hasn't been exposed."

"If he wants to leave by ship, he will definitely find things to take back to China beforehand. If you set up an ambush on the ship, you can also seize the Chinese things he takes away."

"We can't let him take anything from our country, not even a needle. If you arrest him now, you'll alert him, and he might not take anything on the ship."

Guo Zheng immediately understood what he meant. This was a good method; they could capture the person silently and still get the items.

"Okay, I agree. I'll only send people to keep an eye on Zhou Dahai and not arrest him for now. We'll arrest him when he takes the things onto the ship."

Wen Yao hummed in agreement and handed over a bottle.

"Sir, this bottle contains sleeping powder. If Zhou Dahai resists on the ship, we can sprinkle it on him beforehand. It will be easier to catch him once he's down, thus avoiding casualties in a direct confrontation."

As Guo Zheng listened to their elaborate arrangements, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, revealing a look of appreciation: "Good, very good. This is a very meticulous and reliable plan. He's a good candidate for the National Security Bureau."

"Once this matter is resolved, if you're willing, I can recommend you for a position at the Ministry of State Security..."

Jiang Lie shook his head: "Thank you, leader, but no need. We just want to live a peaceful life in the brigade. Dealing with spies every day isn't suitable for us."

Wen Yao nodded: "Yes, we want to live our own lives for a while. If you need any medicine, you can come to me. I'm quite skilled in medicine."

"Haha, okay, then you guys go back early. I'll arrange the arrest. Once there are results, I'll have Old Chen let you know."

"I won't come looking for you. It's easy for strangers to be spotted, and I don't want to get involved. In our line of work, we're always fighting those spies to the death, so I won't come looking for you."

"Old Chen and I are brothers who risked our lives on the battlefield. It's fine if he tells you. I'll handle the follow-up matters through him and try not to disturb your normal lives."

The couple nodded: "Okay, thank you, leader. We're going back now."

After the three left, Guo Zheng immediately began to take action. Under the cover of night, he went directly to two locations, searched for the old radio, and then went to arrest the people at the pharmacy.

Zhang Gui never expected that the door would be kicked open while he was asleep, and that they would all be arrested like that. Before they could even react, they were all dragged away.

Even the people who kept watch at the pharmacy at night were not missed.

With his hands bound behind his back and unable to move, he wore a fawning expression: "Sir, is there some misunderstanding here? Are you from the Public Security Bureau?"

"I'm an law-abiding citizen. Can you explain more clearly why we're being arrested?"

Guo Zheng walked over, his expression resolute, each step seeming to pound on his heart, his gaze fixed on him: "Zhang Guidu, it's pointless to pretend to be confused at a time like this."

"Look at that on the ground, isn't that your new radio station? What messages are you transmitting? And other lines, right? Just like your mission in China, to steal the medicine formulas passed down from our ancestors, right?"

Upon hearing the new radio station name, Zhang Gui paused for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant. He pursed his lips and said, "Boss, I don't quite understand what you mean. We just moved here ourselves."

"We don't know where that radio came from. Maybe it was left behind by the previous tenant. Is it our fault for this? That's too unfair."

He spoke sincerely, and wept as he recounted the injustice of being wrongly accused.

Guo Zheng was too lazy to waste words with him and waved his hand: "Take them all away and lock them up for interrogation. Since they came to China to steal things, the thieves can stay here in peace."

Zhang Gui, of course, did not want to be taken away and struggled fiercely: "Let go, all of you let go! I have a very good relationship with the mayor, we are sworn brothers. If you dare to treat me like this, he will not let you off."

"Oh, there's also the mayor's business here. What a pleasant surprise! Don't worry, he'll be here to join you soon."

"You, you... which department are you from? How can you have such great authority? No, you're not from the Public Security Bureau, could you be from...?"

Guo Zheng said coldly, "Gag him and take him away."

The group was led out, and a pair of eyes secretly watched from the alley. After seeing them being taken away, the eyes scanned them one by one, and breathed a sigh of relief when they made sure no one was left behind.

Zhou Dahai's lips curled up, his eyes burning with intensity.

"Good, great. As long as they are all caught, no one will go back to China to inform on me or suspect me. After all, I am a dead man who was buried alive by them. What can a dead man do?"

The group was taken to the Ministry of State Security's interrogation room and interrogated separately.

Guo Zheng sat opposite him, expressionless, and said, "Zhang Gui's original name was Liu San'er, and his original household registration was... Both his parents were killed by secret agents, and as for you, you were taken away and raised by secret agents when you were three years old."

"After being raised in an island country until he was fifteen years old, he was sent back to China and has been lying low ever since. He even studied traditional Chinese medicine with an old doctor and gradually became the director of a pharmacy."

"Let me see the secret network. It started when you were in your twenties. From that time on, you have been doing treasonous things, smuggling Chinese goods out of the country."

"As for being responsible for stealing the prescription, it goes back ten years. With such a long history, it seems you know quite a lot."

Zhang Gui looked aggrieved: "Sir, I really don't know what you're talking about. If I were a spy, what benefits would I get? I'm Chinese, after all."

"Who doesn't want their motherland to become strong? What would I gain by stealing the medicine formula and betraying my country? Don't I want to return to my roots?"

However, his roots are in an island nation, in that place full of cherry blossoms, not in this poor China. He doesn't want to be Chinese; he was clearly educated and raised in an island nation.

Everything he has should be dedicated to the island nation. What use are so many good medicines in China, a poor place? They don't have the money to research and mass-produce them. Why can't they be given to the island nation?

Seeing that he wouldn't admit it, Guo Zheng calmly said, "You won't admit it? No problem. We've found your accomplice. We'll investigate the things he's willing to reveal step by step."

"You guys are really something, trying to silence your own people. Why did you bury them alive under the pear tree? Didn't you even tamp the soil down a bit? They managed to escape."

"You should be very familiar with Zhou Dahai, the clerk at the pharmacy. After all, he just helped you get the prescription, and then you saw someone was poisoned and refused to save them, so you had him buried alive."

Zhang Gui's pupils contracted, and his heart jumped: "Boss, you mean Zhou Dahai? He was a clerk at our pharmacy, but I've already fired him. I don't know where he is."

"He must be jealous that I drove him away, that's why he went back to you and talked nonsense. I'm innocent, really. You can't just believe him."

"I demand to confront him face to face. I want to know clearly why he did this to me."
