Everyone was somewhat excited; within that excitement lay a hint of silent endurance, because, in the end, one person was left behind. Though not a comrade, yet still...
In the silence, everyone's gaze unfocused fell upon Gu Zichen.
Gu Zichen checked their passports and tickets one by one to ensure there were no errors.
"You all leave first, this is where we part ways," Gu Zichen suddenly spoke.
Everyone was taken aback.
"Bringing you here means our eight years of endurance concludes now. From this moment on, you are free people, unconnected to the National Intelligence Bureau or the Central Intelligence Bureau; you are yourselves. I deposited money into each of your accounts. No need to thank me, this is the reward you deserve from the country, and as long as you don't pick up bad habits in the latter half of your lives, it should be enough for you to live freely for a lifetime," Gu Zichen said nonchalantly.
The others just looked at him like that.
