Bo Qiange looked at Ah Zuo’s figure moving toward the map.

‘Was he really in contact with the royal family like Uncle Qing had said?

Bo Qiange bit her lip hard and tasted blood in her mouth.

Ah Zuo, I hope you won’t disappoint me!

If you really dare to touch the map, even I can’t save you!

Ah Zuo walked to the cabinet and picked up the map.Bo Qiange could vaguely feel Uncle Qing’s men picking up their weapons.

‘As long as Ah Zuo opened it, he would be shot into a sieve.But after a few seconds, Ah Zuo did not move the map. Instead, he put it into the wooden box and then into the cabinet.

He seemed to be talking to himself. “silly girl, why didn’t you put away such an important thing?”

His voice was just loud enough for Bo Qiange to hear.

Bo Qiange’s tensed nerves relaxed.

‘Ah Zuo had not betrayed her!

She was excited and happy.

‘Ah Zuo walked to the bed, lowered his head, and kissed Bo Qiange’s forehead. He placed his hand on Bo Qiange’s abdomen and said hoarsely, “Qiange, I can’t do much for you, but I’ve never regretted doing this.”

Bo Qiange’s long eyelashes fluttered and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

She did not love the wrong person. Ah Zuo was worthy of her trust.

After Bo Qiange relaxed, she fell asleep. Ah Zuo lay beside her and opened his eyes until dawn.

It was really dangerous just now.

The next day.

Bo Qiange woke up very early and found Uncle Qing in high spirits.

Uncle Qing fulfilled his promise from yesterday and agreed to let Ah Zuo return to the secret base with him.

However, Uncle Qing was suspicious and did not want Ah Zuo to bring his bodyguards along.

“The fewer people who go, the better.”

Bo Qiange frowned. “The bodyguard I gave Ah Zuo has always been protecting me in the capital. He’s trustworthy.”

Uncle Qing glanced at the bodyguard behind Ah Zuo. He had his head lowered and was respectful to his master, looking like an honest person.

“When we reach the base, there will be many bodyguards for Ah Zuo to choose from.”

Ah Zuo looked at Uncle Qing and said, “I’m used to this bodyguard. After all, I used to wait on others like a dog. Now, there’s someone willing to be a dog to wait on me.”

‘Without waiting for Uncle Qing to say anything, Ah Zuo raised his foot and said to the bodyguard behind him, “There’s dust on my shoes.”

The bodyguard walked forward, squatted down, and used his sleeve to wipe Ah Zuo’s leather shoes.

‘When Uncle Qing saw this, he laughed and looked at Ah Zuo meaningfully. “I didn’t expect you to have long hated your Crown Prince. I thought the Crown Prince’s right-hand man was very loyal!”

Ah Zuo smirked coldly. “Who in this world is willing to be a dog forever?”

“Okay, I like that.” Uncle Qing patted Ah Zuo’s shoulder. “It’s just a dog. You can bring it along if you want!”

Uncle Qing still had something to discuss with Bo Qiange. After leaving Ah Zuo and the bodyguards behind, they did not notice the panic and fear in Ah Zuo’s eyes when he looked at the bodyguards.

Bo Cixue went to the orphanage and showed the dean the photo of the necklace she had taken from Mr Smith.

However, the Head of the orphanage was new a few years ago. The previous Head of the orphanage had already passed away and there had been a fire in the orphanage a few years ago, burning all the information about the former orphans.

There were no longer any old staff in the orphanage. The new staff did not know anything about the past and could not tell Bo Cixue who she wanted to know.

The new director had some ties with Yan Hua and knew that Bo Cixue wanted to find out about the boy in the photo. She said to Bo Cixue, “An old employee resigned a few years ago and went back to her hometown to enjoy her retirement. I’ll help you find out her contact details in the next few days.”

Bo Cixue said gratefully, “Thank you so much, Director.”

Bo Cixue returned home and found that Bo Yan, who had been busy recently, was at home. She walked over with a smile and hugged his arm. “General Bo, you’re finally resting today? You’re old, don’t treat yourself as a young man. You have to balance work and rest. Your eyes are so red. Have you not

rested for the past few days?”

Bo Yan patted the back of Bo Cixue’s hand lovingly. “After this, T’ll take a long vacation.”

“Oh right, don’t interact with Xiaojie for the time being. If he looks for you, try to avoid him.”

Bo Cixue furrowed her eyebrows, finding it strange.

The last time Auntie Nan Zhi asked Tiantian to look for her and not let her contact Ye Jie, her father had said the same thing.

Bo Cixue thought of how Ye Jie had changed a lot after falling down the cliff and she had a bold guess.

She did not dare to think about it in the past because she felt that no one would dare to do that!

But now, Auntie Nan Zhi and her father were reminding her not to have any contact with him.

This was unusual to begin with.

“Dad, is it…”

Seeming to have guessed what Bo Cixue was going to say, Bo Yan shook his head at her. “You just have to remember what I said.”

Bo Cixue did not ask anymore and nodded cautiously. “Okay.”

Bo Yan went to the palace after resting at home for an hour.

‘Mu Sihan called him to the study. “I was right. The big country he’s working with asked him to steal our country’s secrets. Now that he thinks he’s got it, he will take the next step soon.”

Bo Yan nodded with a serious expression. “I wonder how it is on Xiaojie’s side? The other party disguised themselves too well this time. If Xiaojie didn’t send someone back with the news, the consequences would be unimaginable…”

‘When they first found Ye Jie from the cliff, he was extremely thin and acted like Ye Jie. No one suspected anything.It was obvious that it was a premeditated plan to imitate Ye Jie so well. Moreover, this plan had been going on for many years. Otherwise, it would not have such an effect.

However, it was obvious that the other party had underestimated Ye Jie’s ability and thought that he had really died under the cliff.

Mu Sihan pursed his thin lips tightly. “When Xiaojie finds the secret base and destroys the destructive weapons, we will win. The most important thing now is to stabilize this fake Xiaojie and find his real identity!”

Bo Cixue had been feeling uneasy for the past two days.

She did not know if she was thinking too much or if something would really happen.

Afraid that she would burden her family, she called in sick and stayed at home.

It was Tiantian who called her and said that she was going to perform in school and invited her to watch it.

Bo Cixue set off with her bodyguards.

On the way there, she received a call from Tiantian. “Sister Apple, don’t come anymore… Boohoo, I accidentally fell and sprained my ankle. I can’t sing and dance at the same time.”

Bo Cixue said worriedly, “Did you go to the clinic?”

“Fortunately, I met Dr Cheng. He came to school to do a physical examination for an old director and saw that I had fallen. He handled it for me.”

“That’s good.. I was worried so I came to see you!”
