this country bumpkin of a woman is highly likely to have been sent by the Red Ticket faction to assist in executing an infiltration mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ya laid out the results of these past few days one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've dug quite deep; are you just one step away from digging up his ancestral grave?\" Wu Jingzhong asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am, after all, one of the top students you taught, so I do possess at least this much intelligence-gathering capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there were truly clues in his ancestral grave, I would actually dare to dig it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the sake of the Party-State, this student fears not even death, let alone a bit of reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ya laughed coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Continue.\" Wu Jingzhong stood with his hands behind his back, gesturing for him to drink tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ya drank a few sips of tea to moisten his throat:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, based on this intelligence, I can be certain that Deputy Station Chief Yu is Emeifeng, and the Border Defense Bureau originally sent Chen Qiuping to partner with him for infiltration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You ordered him to bring his family over, and Yu dragged it out from July to September.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He couldn't drag it out any longer, so the Red Ticket Border Defense Bureau had no choice but to send Chen Qiuping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just that on September 26th, Chen Qiuping died unexpectedly, which is why they urgently transferred Wang Cuiping to fill the gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wang Cuiping arrived in Jinhai on September 28th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My master Liu Xiong went to pick her up at Bawang Village in Langfang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I checked the dates; they cannot be wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at how the timing fits perfectly—one dies, one replaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, when Ma Kui was here, he once sent Zhou Yafu to monitor Yu Zecheng; this couple started arguing from the very first night they met, and they argued almost every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For a normal couple, absence makes the heart grow fonder, so they would be too busy being affectionate to argue all day long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does Yu Zecheng have a problem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He doesn't keep mistresses, he isn't lecherous, he clocks in and out of work on time, and he doesn't drink heavily or gamble; he has almost no bad habits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You tell me, what could Wang Cuiping possibly have to argue with him about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can't find fault with his personal life, then it must be work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One is from the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The other is from the intelligence line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their work philosophies are different, which is why they would have arguments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ya analyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Makes sense, continue.\" Wu Jingzhong felt goosebumps rising all over his body as he listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had taught him quite a bit of the essence of intelligence studies back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ya had truly surpassed his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once suspected Yu Zecheng, but he hadn't thought about it in such detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Jiang Jianfeng valued him so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is one more point that is also very suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The two have been together for so many years, yet Wang Cuiping is still not pregnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her physique is as strong as an ox; it doesn't look like she can't bear children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they are just comrades in a cooperative relationship and not a real married couple, then naturally there is no talk of sharing a bed and having children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ya raised an eyebrow and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's hard to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Things like marriage and having children also depend on fate;

not to mention me, where would the faces of Bureau Chief Mao and Officer Zheng be placed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does it mean Bureau Chief Mao is blind and muddled, sending his own bodyguard to the execution ground?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And only you are the loyal and capable official with eyes like torches?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong tapped his fingers on the table to remind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What Teacher says is also true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the facts are already so clear;
