"You are currently a prime target for them.
So after we take you to meet his brother, we will arrange for his brother to disappear for a while.
We will let his brother return when you are safe and sound."
Lu Liang said.
"Isn't this considered house arrest?" Guo Xuyang chuckled.
"Of course not. It's considered giving him an extended vacation."
"You trust us that much to complete the mission?"
"As long as you, Yang Zi, take on a mission, there's none you can't complete."
"Just the two of us are going?"
"Yes. But we have comrades from our side to assist you, also from an foreign trade company.
He cannot overtly help you.
However, if you encounter danger, he will step forward.
You will first gather in Kyoto. Li Minyu is also currently familiarizing himself with the situation of Comrade Liu Yi's wife.
His wife is a police officer in a grassroots public security bureau, which somewhat aligns with Li Minyu's identity.
She is also pregnant, about three months along."
"This must have been a significant blow to his wife?"
"His wife currently doesn't know that Comrade Liu Yi is part of the underground front. She believes he is an ordinary white-collar worker in a foreign trade company."
"Is it good to keep this from her?"
"There's no alternative. This is also a form of protection for her."
"I understand that."
"Understanding is key. Many things are beyond one's control, there's nothing that can be done," Lu Liang sighed.
"Stop sighing, let's go. Where is his brother?"
"I'll take you there."
Lu Liang said, getting into his car.
"You can leave your car here. I'll have it sent back to you later."
"That works too. How many days will this trip take?"
Guo Xuyang got into the car and sat properly.
"It mainly depends on the other party's discretion.
If they are reasonable, you might be able to return the same day.
But that's unlikely.
If things go smoothly, you should be back in about three days.
This is primarily because you are going to collect Comrade Liu Yi's belongings."
Lu Liang started the car as he spoke.
"His brother is a sailor, traveling around the world with shipping fleets every year.
He also brings back items from various places."
"Items? What kind of items?"
"Naturally, items collected by our comrades.
These items cannot be transported through regular channels, so his brother helps bring them back."
"What's his brother's name?"
"Liu Yifan."
"This job is also very dangerous."
"Yes. Other crew members cannot know.
If something truly happens, it will be considered his personal action, with no connection to the organization."
"Comrades on the underground front are heroes, they are all unsung heroes," Guo Xuyang remarked.
"Yes. Liu Yifan is not married yet, mainly out of fear that if he met an accident abroad someday, he would ruin a girl's life."
"How old is he?"
"Twenty-five."
"These days, late marriage or not marrying at all is common. Twenty-five isn't that old."
Guo Xuyang intended to lighten the somber atmosphere.
"How old are you today? You already have two children."
"There's no comparison."
"You admit that. You are purely a monster."
"Why don't you call me a demon then?"
"You're not female," Lu Liang retorted.
They bantered as they arrived at a large hotel.
"Here?" Guo Xuyang looked at the grand hotel with a hint of confusion.
"Yes. After you go in and talk to him, you will disguise yourself as him and come out. I'll take you directly to Kyoto by train.
His ID card, passport, and everything else have been prepared."
Lu Liang said as he led him into the hotel and pressed the elevator button for the twenty-third floor.
