The Progress of the Investigation
"I just think that if people knew who Hongchen's real father and grandfather were, they might hesitate a bit more when seeking revenge. As a mother, I'm not too concerned about whether he gets promoted or not; what matters most is that our family stays safe and sound," Mrs. Su said. She usually dealt with smaller family issues and had never faced something this big. Last night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
But Su Xiaoxiao's attitude was firm. "Why should we care about that? The mastermind behind this is a spy, not one of our own. Do we really need to worry about maintaining friendly relations for future encounters?"
Mrs. Su pressed her lips together, realizing her daughter made a valid point. "Alright, I won't think about it anymore. Just make sure to stay safe and don't run around recklessly," she added, her concern still evident.
Su Xiaoxiao was both amused and exasperated by all the reminders from her family but could only nod and agree obediently.
