After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 1144 - 50

"Hello, Mr. Xia, we suspect you are involved in a spy incident, so we’d like to ask for your cooperation in the investigation," said the person showing his credentials.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi finally understood the meaning of the call from Huo Shiqian moments ago.

"Spy incident?" Xia Chuyi looked very confused and shook her head, saying, "I don’t understand what you mean."

Spy?

How could an innocent patriot like Xia Chuyi be involved in a spy incident?

The National Security personnel exchanged glances.

They were already prepared for this situation.

"Mr. Xia, you don’t need to be so wary," said the National Security officer. "We are just asking for your cooperation in the investigation, nothing else."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi immediately furrowed her brows.

If earlier Xia Chuyi thought there was some misunderstanding,

The phrase "wary" from the National Security officer made Xia Chuyi realize that they seemed to truly suspect her.

Xia Chuyi pursed her lips and said, "Go ahead, what do you want to ask?"

She believed that innocence speaks for itself.

The two National Security officers exchanged another glance, nodded, and prepared to start the inquiry.

Actually, according to protocol, they shouldn’t conduct inquiries at a suspect’s home.

But Xia Chuyi’s identity is indeed very sensitive, even though they have orders from above, they dare not take her away by force.

Thus, they could only inquire at Bao Mansion.

"Alright," said the National Security officer, "Mr. Xia, please have a seat."

Once everyone was seated,

The National Security officer said, "Mr. Xia, may I ask if you have ever studied abroad in the United States?"

"Yes." Xia Chuyi furrowed her brows and nodded.

Her studies abroad are well known, the school has records, there is nothing to hide.

"Good." The National Security officer continued, "Then, have you ever come in contact with, or gotten to know any special individuals abroad?"

"What do you mean?" Xia Chuyi asked back. "What kind of people are considered special individuals?"

The National Security officer said, "Just for example... missionaries, Christians, etc."

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi furrowed her brows even deeper and said, "Sorry, if such people are considered special individuals, then everyone who studied in the United States has encountered them."

Indeed, Xia Chuyi also knows that many missionaries in the United States really have issues.

They especially love brainwashing people.

But that doesn’t mean all congregants have issues.

After all, there are very many religious people in the United States.

The National Security officer nodded and said, "So, you know them?"

While speaking, the National Security officer bowed his head and jotted something down.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi instantly became annoyed.

The National Security personnel seemed to be taking things out of context.

Now Xia Chuyi finally understood why Huo Shiqian advised her not to say anything.

At this time, the National Security officer asked again, "Have you maintained any contact with special individuals from the United States after returning home?"

"If not with special individuals, ordinary people would do... In short, after returning home, have you maintained any contact from the United States?"

This time, Xia Chuyi got smart, kept her lips tightly shut, and didn’t answer.

She could guess easily. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

If she said she had contact, the other party would immediately assume she was in touch with "special individuals."

And if she said they weren’t special individuals,

The other party might as well add a note in their records saying, "Suspected of using ordinary people as intermediaries, communicating with secret codes."

In summary, Xia Chuyi is now fully following Huo Shiqian’s advice.
