"I wouldn't go so far as to say a bug was planted on you, but if you hadn't come to me, and had instead gone to your former father-in-law Yan Huaili, or to relevant personnel in the Security Department, you definitely wouldn't have had the chance to see them. Still the same old story: the moment you showed the slightest trace of suspicious behavior, they would have seized you on the spot. To put it without exaggeration, the moment you dared to appear anywhere near Yan's province or the relevant departments, they would have taken immediate action without giving you a single chance!"
Pausing for a breath, Ye Chen continued, "As for why I let you come find me—it's very simple. Put yourself in the shoes of that female spy, Sun Ying: do you think Qin Xuan coming to me would be a move aimed at confessing her spy identity? Impossible, because that defies basic logic! Secondly, and most importantly, didn't you say she demanded that you find a way to return to the 'Shenxing II' R&D team no matter what? And as the financial backer and investor of 'Shenxing II', as well as the person who kicked you out of the team in the first place, surely you've already told her all of this, haven't you?"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan bit his lower lip hard, consumed by shame and mortification, and lowered his head. He no longer dared to meet Ye Chen's eyes.
