Chapter 536: Women Are Too Smart, and That

Actually, the situation is now clear.

The main job of the State Security is to catch spies and agents; having him help must be related to this.

Bringing Yin Xuelian to Songhai this time was probably to lure out the spies hiding in Songhai.

Something's off.

Even if she's to be used as bait, they can't just send her here alone.

State Security should have sent someone to follow her at least.

"I already told you, arrange her meals and lodging."

Li Mingzhao's reply left Yu Dazhang baffled:

"Most importantly, I want you to help arrange a suitable job for her."

After these words, both sides fell silent.

Yu Dazhang felt his brain was running out of capacity.

Arranging a job means Yin Xuelian will live in Songhai long-term.

There's no need to go this far to catch spies; even if infiltration is required, Yin Xuelian wouldn't be assigned this task.

After a moment, Yu Dazhang asked:

"Boss, just be straight with me—if you don't, I'm afraid I can't help."

He dared not accept this assignment blindly.

So he gave Li Mingzhao two choices.

1, Tell me the full details; if it's within my ability, I'll spare no effort to help.

2, If you can't speak openly, try someone else—I truly have limited capacity and can't assist you here.

Yu Dazhang did this out of necessity; if he lacked even this basic self-preservation instinct, he'd have been crushed long ago.

"You're really not one to take even a single loss."

Li Mingzhao said, somewhat helplessly:

"It's somewhat like residential surveillance, but this matter can't be made public."

"Yin Xuelian is indeed a spy, but after investigation, she never betrayed state secrets and even made significant contributions; thus, after comprehensive consideration, her criminal punishment was waived."

He sighed and continued:

"But releasing her directly into society still carries some risk."

"You know well that someone like her is essentially a time bomb."

Finally, Li Mingzhao emphasized:

"So we need to keep some track of her movements, but we can't monitor her 24/7—the balance is hard to strike."

"After negotiating with Yin Xuelian, she's willing to live within your surveillance range."

She's willing—I'm not. Yu Dazhang saw this as a headache.

He could guess Yin Xuelian's mindset.

Better to be watched by someone she knows than by strangers—then at least she'd know who she's dealing with.

This also shows Yin Xuelian trusts Yu Dazhang deeply.

But this trust is heavy.

"Boss, I don't have time to watch over her."

Yu Dazhang protested:

"Sometimes I'm so busy I can't even eat—how can I afford to care about this? Find someone else."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yin Xuelian sitting in the resting area.

She sat quietly, calm and detached, not even glancing his way.

"You don't need to monitor her."

Li Mingzhao explained:

"Just arrange a suitable job for her—nothing else is your concern. When I need to know her status, I'll contact you directly."

"To be honest, with her at your place, she's effectively hidden."

He said this last line softly, yet it was the clearest thing Yu Dazhang had heard.

She's getting a new identity… Yu Dazhang immediately understood.

Bringing Yin Xuelian to Songhai, giving her a new identity, and having him arrange her job.

That would sever all her previous connections.

To everyone who knew her before, Yin Xuelian might as well have vanished from the face of the earth.
