"Well, but the meeting is not easy. That Japanese spy has been following you. I'm afraid your every move will not escape his eyes." Yong Jie said.
"That's right," Zhao Kezhen nodded, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "How about I ask my daughter to send a message?"
"This...isn't good!" A look of hesitation appeared on Yong Jie's face.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, Zhao Kezhen's expression changed, and Yong Jie quickly stood up and walked towards the door.
There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. Yongjie walked a few steps, then stopped, with a distressed look on her face, and turned around and said, "Old Zhao, it's Er Sheng. She should have heard it."
"I don't know how much she heard." Zhao Kezhen said with a sad face.
"It won't be long," Yong Jie's expression was equally distressed, "She came here wearing socks, I can tell."
The couple looked at each other helplessly. For a long time, they had carefully avoided their daughter when talking to each other. Unexpectedly, their daughter discovered them today!
"Let me go talk to her!" Yong Jie stood up.
"No, I'll go talk." Zhao Kezhen pressed his wife's arm and walked out the door.
Walking to the door of his daughter's boudoir, Zhao Kezhen knocked on the door gently and whispered: "Er Sheng, are you asleep?"
"I'm asleep." Zhao Ersheng's panicked voice came from the room.
"Ersheng, dad wants to talk to you." Zhao Ersheng said softly.
"No, I want to sleep." Zhao Ersheng's voice was firm.
"Er Sheng, I know you heard it," Zhao Kezhen sighed, "You have grown up so much, and it's time for me to tell you many things."
There was silence in the room. After a long time, my daughter's voice finally came out: "Dad, come in!"
Zhao Kezhen opened the door and walked in.
Under the dim desk lamp, her daughter in pajamas was leaning against the wall with her knees in her arms. Her eyes were a little dazed and she seemed to have completely lost her direction.
Zhao Kezhen walked gently to his daughter's bedside, stretched out a hand, and gently stroked his daughter's hair. After a long time, Zhao Ersheng suddenly said "Wow" and threw himself into his father's arms and burst into tears.
"Daughter!" Zhao Kezhen gently caressed his daughter's delicate back, "Before you were young, I originally planned to tell you when you graduate from college. I didn't expect that my daughter is very smart.
knew."
"You lied, you didn't want to tell me at all!" Zhao Ersheng cried convulsively.
"No, I really want to wait until you grow up before telling you." Zhao Kezhen defended.
"Nonsense!" Zhao Ersheng suddenly raised his head and jumped to the corner. The tears on his face could not hide the intelligence in his eyes. "I know that you have discipline. You can't tell even your biological daughter! Also, wait for me.
After I graduate from college, you are going to send me abroad because you just want to hide it from me forever!"
Zhao Kezhen's expression froze. His daughter was right, that's what the couple thought.
"Ever since I was little, you have been lying to me. Every weekend, you would drive me and my mother out to play, but as soon as we went out, you would leave us without knowing where we went. I know now, you must have gone out.
Do your own thing!" Zhao Ersheng's furry eyes stared like a little tiger, "Also, people often come to see you in the middle of the night, don't think I don't know!"
"This..." Zhao Kezhen was speechless.
"I have long discovered that there is something wrong with you!" Zhao Ersheng stood on the bed with his hands on his hips, pointed at Zhao Kezhen and said righteously.
"Okay, okay, okay, my daughter is really smart, like me." Zhao Kezhen said helplessly.
"No, I'm not like you. You're not smart at all!" Zhao Ersheng gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Kezhen, then looked outside the room, "Mom is smart! I've always thought there was something wrong with you, but I never thought there was something wrong with my mother.
I just found out today that you two were lying to me!"
"...."
"Daughter," the door of the room was pushed open, and Yongjie also walked in. Her face was both gentle and proud, "my precious daughter, you are most like your mother. You know everything and don't say anything, right?"
?”
Zhao Ersheng ignored her and suddenly grabbed the pillows, quilts, and everything she could on the bed, and threw them at Yong Jie, shouting angrily:
"You are a spy, my mother is a spy, Assistant Zhou is also a spy, everyone I know is a spy, what else is true in this world!"
"Shut up!" "Keep your voice down!"
The couple yelled angrily at the same time.
Zhao Ersheng was startled by the serious expressions of the two people. He flattened his mouth and looked like he was about to cry again.
"Good daughter, stop making trouble," Yong Jie gently pushed aside the pillow thrown by Zhao Ersheng, walked to the bed, and whispered: "At least, our love for you is true."
"Hmph!" Zhao Ersheng rolled his eyes, snorted, and stopped talking.
"Daughter," Zhao Kezhen grabbed his daughter's little feet exposed outside the quilt and dragged her over, "Don't be angry, don't you already know?"
"What's the use of knowing? You will continue to lie to me in the future. In this family, I am the only one who acts like a fool and doesn't know anything." Zhao Ersheng closed his eyes.
Zhao Kezhen and Yong Jie looked at each other and nodded slowly. Yong Jie then sat on the edge of the bed, hugged her daughter's shoulders, and whispered:
"Daughter, let me tell you now, both of us are Red Party members."
"I already know!" Zhao Ersheng said angrily.
"Ersheng, now that you know, you should understand us. Our work is special, and many things cannot be told to our families. This is not only for confidentiality, but also for your safety." Zhao Kezhen also said beside him.
.
Zhao Ersheng said nothing. He looked at Zhao Kezhen first, then at Yong Jie, and then asked a question seriously:
"Will you kill me to silence me?"
"..."
"If you don't answer, are you acquiescing?" Zhao Ersheng stared angrily at the two adults in front of him.
"How is that possible?" the couple replied in unison.
"That's okay, forget it, I forgive you!" Zhao Ersheng waved his hand.
"You..." Zhao Kezhen was speechless.
"Good daughter," Yongjie smiled. She pinched her daughter's face and whispered: "Daughter, you are so smart. You should know how dangerous it is if this matter is leaked. Never do it in front of outsiders in the future.
Mention this."
"I can't." Zhao Ersheng squeezed out three words.
"By the way," Zhao Kezhen seemed to have suddenly remembered something. He stared into his daughter's eyes with a serious face and asked, "When did you know that Assistant Zhou was a spy?"
"He told me!" Zhao Ersheng said nonchalantly, "I already noticed something was wrong with him. He knew he couldn't lie to me, so he told me."
