Ah Cheng was walking between the bookshelves, searching for the books Mingtai wanted. Although he seemed busy on the surface, he was actually very clear in his mind.

After coming out of the study, Mingtai asked Ah Cheng again: "Is Big Brother really not a traitor?"

Ah Cheng responded seriously, "We are not allowed to talk about politics at home, especially on the special day of the first day of the Chinese New Year. Do you want to be beaten?"

Mingtai did not give up and continued to ask: "So, what about you? Are you a traitor?"

However, Ah Cheng still did not give a clear answer. At this moment, Ming Lou came over. Seeing Ming Lou appear, Ming Tai quickly turned around and left, while Ming Lou and Ah Cheng returned to the study together.

After entering the study, Ming Lou said in a serious tone: "Ming Tai is a smart man. As soon as he returns home, he can't wait to get intelligence through our channels. We must have strict control over what information to give him and how to control it to prevent him from taking too many risks."

Then, they started discussing Aunt Gui's affairs. Minglou originally planned to persuade Ah Cheng, hoping that he could let go of the past grudges and accept Aunt Gui to stay at home.

But Ah Cheng's resentment towards Aunt Gui was too deep and he could never let it go, so he was determined not to agree to let Aunt Gui stay.

In desperation, Minglou had to compromise and said that he would arrange for Aunt Gui to leave in the afternoon.

Mingtai and Mingjing sat together and chatted, and Mingtai accidentally let it slip that studying is not of much use to the country.

However, Mingjing immediately interrupted him and said firmly: "Stop! The most important thing is that you finish your studies well."

Just then, Acheng walked in. Mingjing pleaded for Aunt Gui again and even took out the cotton robe that Aunt Gui had made for him, asking Acheng to agree to let Aunt Gui celebrate the New Year.

After much persuasion, Ah Cheng finally accepted the cotton robe, but he just replied calmly: "Brother has already promised me that he will send her away in the afternoon."

In the kitchen, Acheng met Aunt Gui again, but this time they did not communicate.

When Ah Cheng returned to his room and opened the cotton robe, his heart softened and the scene of his childhood abuse came to his mind. He angrily threw the cotton robe on the bed.

In the afternoon, Aunt Gui packed her luggage and prepared to leave. With gratitude and reluctance in her eyes, she said to Mingjing: "Miss, if I find a new employer, I will definitely come back to visit you." After that, she bowed deeply, got on a rickshaw, and left the home that once gave her warmth.

Ah Cheng, who had been standing silently at the window watching all this, was full of contradictions. He knew that Aunt Gui had done nothing wrong, but he could not accept the mistakes she had made. However, when he saw Aunt Gui's lonely figure disappear at the end of the street, the kindness deep in his heart finally defeated reason.

Ah Cheng rushed out without hesitation and caught up with Aunt Gui who had already walked away. He pulled the rickshaw hard and said with a heavy breath: "Aunt Gui, don't go! We need you!" Aunt Gui stopped and turned around, her eyes full of surprise and emotion. She didn't expect Ah Cheng to be so determined to keep her, and she thought she had been abandoned.

Tears welled up in Aunt Gui's eyes, and she choked up and said, "Ah Cheng...thank you..."

Ah Cheng held Aunt Gui's hand tightly and said sincerely: "Aunt Gui, we don't blame you. You are our family and we can't live without you." Aunt Gui nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and decided to stay.

That day, Mingcheng found Liang Zhongchun with an angry and disappointed expression on his face. He walked up to Liang Zhongchun, pointed his finger at his nose, and said angrily: "Director Liang, Section Chief Nantian already knows about your arms smuggling! You even hid it from me! I always thought you were just secretly smuggling some opium paste and other things, but I didn't expect you to dare to get involved in the arms field! I treat you as a friend and risk my life to give you information, but you treat me like this!"

Liang Zhongchun saw Mingcheng so excited that his face turned pale. He quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mingcheng, I'm really sorry! It's not that I don't believe you, but I don't want you to be involved in this trouble. But now that it has been discovered, we must find a way to solve this problem."

After hearing what Liang Zhongchun said, Mingcheng did not respond immediately, but deliberately showed a helpless expression. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Director Liang, this matter is very difficult. If Section Chief Nantian knew the truth, the consequences would be disastrous."

Liang Zhongchun anxiously grabbed Mingcheng's hand and pleaded, "Mingcheng, you must help me! I know you have a way. As long as you can help me through this difficult time, I will definitely remember your kindness!"

Mingcheng looked at Liang Zhongchun's anxious eyes and felt proud in his heart. He had finally waited for this moment, so he decided to give Liang Zhongchun a suggestion. He said slowly: "Director Liang, I think the best way is for you to go to Section Chief Nantian in person, explain it to her frankly, and express your willingness to cooperate with the investigation. Only in this way can you gain a glimmer of hope."

Liang Zhongchun listened to Mingcheng's suggestion and hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed. He looked at Mingcheng gratefully and said, "Thank you, Mingcheng. I will follow your advice. I hope this time it will go smoothly."

Liang Zhongchun came to Jinse, stood in front of her respectfully, bowed his head and said: "Section Chief Nantian, regarding the Suzhou base, we not only successfully arrested anti-Japanese elements, but also uncovered a case of arms smuggling. Afterwards, I immediately sent people to investigate and finally found out that the person who smuggled arms was Chen Liang. I immediately reported the matter to Chief Ming, and Chief Ming took decisive action and shot him on the spot."

Jinse knew that Liang Zhongchun wanted to distance himself from the matter and evade responsibility. However, she did not intend to let this opportunity slip away easily, and replied calmly: "Yes, I already know about this matter, you can leave first."

Liang Zhongchun felt relieved and quickly replied, "Yes, Chief." Then he turned and left, secretly glad that he had escaped.
