Cheng Su was talking about the familyâs future prospects, while far away in the Capital, Qi Taiguo was also discussing future paths and development directions with Ning Ge.
Both were covered in injuries, but the medical facilities in the Capital are far superior, and compared to the past few days of being weak and listless, they can now go downstairs and stroll in the garden.
Sitting in the garden pavilion, Qi Taiguo asked Ning Ge about the ins and outs of this investigation, how did he get caught?
"When I discovered what that batch of goods was in Guangcheng, I thought, the goods must have a source, there must be a manufacturer, right? The Loo Family does big business, their appetite certainly isnât so small, Iâm sure thatâs just the tip of the iceberg. Itâs just a matter of whether the Loo Family is the manufacturer or the middleman. It was just the Loo Familyâs bad luck, seeing that the eyes were tight on them in Guangcheng, they changed the transaction location. I saw them making contact with people in Guicheng and followed the trail. But unfortunately, the Loo Family was just a middleman. But luckily, they were just a middleman, the manufacturers didnât know my background and wanted to extract some information from me, keeping me alive and not letting me die, otherwise, I fear I wouldnât have lasted until you came!"
Qi Taiguoâs heart tightened as he listened, and he said, "You are reckless. These people, to be able to do this kind of business, have already lost their humanity, if..."
Ning Ge said lightly, "Itâs nothing. In our line of work, investigation is already dangerous. Once discovered, if your identity is exposed, youâre either dead or injured, so weâre used to it."
"Nonsense!" Qi Taiguo said, "You need to understand that life is the most important. Keeping your life gives you the opportunity to discuss other things, arenât you just fooling around?"
"Well, havenât we gotten through this disaster safely? As the saying goes, what doesnât kill you makes you stronger!" Ning Ge raised an eyebrow and said.
Qi Taiguo glared at him and then looked forward, "If something happened to you this time, Cheng Su and I would never have peace of mind for the rest of our lives!"
In the end, Ning Geâs disregard for his own life is somewhat due to them.
"Come on, donât flatter yourselves. Iâm not doing it just for you; itâs for the national interest, for the safety of the people!" Ning Ge said. "This factory was also hidden well. The Loo Family had been doing business with them for years and hadnât even discovered it. If we hadnât been watching the Loo Family, we wouldnât have known such a big hazard was hidden!"
Qi Taiguo sighed, "You already know the geographical environment over there; there are already lots of issues, and I heard there are still a lot of grave robbers operating there!"
Ning Ge fell silent.
"A country so vast always has some shady elements deeply hidden below, itâs just a matter of when they get exposed." Qi Taiguo said, "So keep your life; with life, you can protect the country, and you have resources."
Ning Ge squinted at him, "Whatâs with you, are you scared of dying? I heard you used to always be at the forefront?"
Qi Taiguo laughed, "Maybe. After starting a family, having things that weigh on your heart, you become vulnerable, so I became scared of death!"
"Then what if, for the sake of national interest, you have to be at the forefront and sacrifice?" Ning Ge stared at him.
"Thereâs no point in testing me. If itâs necessary to sacrifice, thereâs nothing to say. But if it can be temporarily set aside, just leave it for now. It doesnât matter, like this time, you shouldnât have acted recklessly. What if, hey..." Qi Taiguo said.
Ning Ge said, "I didnât want to wait anymore, watching them was annoying." Nor did he want to see that person live every day on edge.
Qi Taiguo looked at him, feeling strange inside, but not knowing what it was, he simply didnât dwell on it.
"Now that everythingâs settled, and the family knows your identity, what are your plans for the future?" Qi Taiguo asked.
