The leader is my girlfriend

After the conversation, Minister Xu took the steering wheel and personally drove the car to take Wang Yiming to the gate of the Foreign Trade Bureau.

The car slowly stopped. Wang Yiming felt a little heavy-hearted. He hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't help but ask,

"I want to know about Comrade Zhang Lei and Comrade Zhang Yanjun. They..."

Minister Xu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "They are truly unsung heroes."

Wang Yiming's heart trembled. No name, no ending, an unknown hero?

He took out the property certificate, held it tightly in his hand, and then asked, "This property certificate is a reward for me, so what did they get?"

Minister Xu sighed softly and replied gravely, "Actually, on behalf of Yan Jun, I must sincerely apologize to you for today's review. If it weren't for... this wouldn't have happened. He's truly overly cautious. But please believe me, I still have to explain a few things on his behalf."

In the process of carrying out our mission, we encountered internal betrayal more than once or twice. Each betrayal made us pay a heavy price. Not only did many comrades lose their lives, but important information was also at great risk of being leaked at all times.

So, faced with such a difficult and critical task, with such a low success rate, he had to adopt this seemingly harsh method to ensure that everything would go smoothly.

Because if we make even a small mistake, it means that more comrades will continue to participate with a very low success rate, which means more sacrifices. If the data falls into the hands of the enemy, the results of decades of hard work by scientists will be wasted, and the result will be a greater gap between countries.

Minister Xu seemed to be lost in deep memories, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"That kid, when he was in the army, his mind was incredibly quick. He was always pondering this or researching that. He was curious about everything around him, always trying to dissect the truth behind things. Because of this, he considered things much more thoroughly than others, so I brought him into the National Security Bureau.

Given his personal background, this mission wasn't originally suitable for him. But I made this decision despite all the opposition. It's a shame...it ultimately led to his death in a foreign land. "Here, Minister Xu couldn't help but sigh deeply, then calmed down a bit and continued,

"His parents died young, leaving him an orphan at a very young age, with no relatives or friends, and no one to rely on. In this situation, the biggest fear is mutiny while on a mission. Perhaps it's because you two have so few similarities that he's overthinking it.

Comrade Zhang Lei has been awarded first-class merit, but due to the high confidentiality of this mission, his family cannot be informed of this news at this time. But rest assured, in due time, when the time is right, we will definitely send the pension and military medals to his home.

Seeing Wang Yiming's lost face, Minister Xu patted his shoulder gently.

"Don't overthink it, kid. You should know that from the moment you set foot outside the country and headed for Hong Kong City, each of you was a well-deserved hero. The only difference is that you and Zhang Sen were luckier and came back alive, while Zhang Yanjun and Zhang Lei stayed there forever.

However, please remember that the valuable information you have brought back is of immense value, and I sincerely thank you all for your hard work and sacrifice."

Wang Yiming slowly raised his head, staring at Minister Xu before him, and replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "On the way back, Comrade Zhang Sen told me that Comrade Zhang Yanjun and Comrade Zhang Lei actually had the opportunity to escape, but chose to die with the enemy in order to avoid exposing their information."

Hearing this, Minister Xu nodded silently, then gently placed his right hand on the steering wheel of the car, looking into the distance with a determined look.

"I know that their decision is undoubtedly correct. If it were me, I would do the same. After all, this information is too important to us. Its value is so great that it cannot tolerate even the slightest mistake or error.

So, don't think too much, just go home and celebrate, because being able to return safely is a great blessing in itself."

Wang Yiming took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "Okay, then I'll take my leave."

Minister Xu smiled and said, "Goodbye, Comrade Yiming."
