Qin Yanyang snorted, saying nothing.
Yang Fei hastily said, "This won’t do. The base is so important, and yet there’s a mole mixed in there. It’s too dangerous and must be rooted out quickly."
Qin Yanyang silently furrowed her brows.

She had already ordered an investigation in secret.
But the human heart is the most complicated thing in this world, and often many who are utterly loyal to you may actually be betraying you behind your back.
Everyone stationed at Yunwu Mountain’s Base was personally promoted by her back then. In her mind, they were absolutely loyal brothers-in-arms.
The most terrifying part is, before these people were stationed here, they were scrutinized and screened.
Yet in the end, someone still betrayed her.
She was truly heartbroken.
Once, she thought Yang Fei’s love for her was unwavering and would never betray her, but in the end, Tong Yunshu appeared.
Her most trusted subordinates in the Military Department actually harbored someone who betrayed her.
If her state of mind were not strong enough, she would have long been crushed by this continuous betrayal and provocation.
As for Yang Fei’s matter, she let it go, considering that guy’s love, care, and protection for her were genuine, and the feelings between him and Tong Yunshu seemed to predate her, which indeed made it hard to clarify.
But those subordinates who betrayed her at work truly broke her heart.
Why is it so hard to do things?
Can’t she truly contribute to this country, to this nation?
Why does it have to be so selfish and ruthless?
Qin Yanyang felt utterly exhausted.
"Honey, what’s wrong?" Yang Fei noticed Qin Yanyang’s low spirits and exhausted appearance, quickly asking with concern.
Qin Yanyang looked at him and said, "Yang Fei, what do you think of the people in the Military Department?"
Yang Fei was taken aback, asking, "Why ask this all of a sudden?"
"Just answer me first." Qin Yanyang said.
Yang Fei thought carefully and said, "It’s not bad, I heard from Old Hu that you fought for pretty high treatment for them, even their families are well taken care of, it’s quite good."
Qin Yanyang asked, "If that’s the case, why would they betray me?"
Yang Fei paused, finally understanding why Qin Yanyang felt so hurt and upset.
He went over and embraced her, saying softly, "You can’t blame yourself for things . You think you’ve treated them well enough, but to some people, they believe they could get more. The human heart is not easily satisfied. Besides, some people’s circumstances may be special, they might have been tempted or even threatened by greater external forces, leaving them no choice."
A glimmer of light gradually returned to Qin Yanyang’s eyes, and slowly, she regained her confident and strong posture, nodding, "You’re right. I only thought about providing them with enough security, but overlooked whether they faced greater difficulties or were tempted by bigger things. The human heart, human nature, truly the most complex thing."
Yang Fei saw her recover her former charm, his heart raced wildly.
Damn, when my wife regains her confidence, she’s too captivating. Even a brilliant young man like me has the urge to worship her and willingly serve as her devoted follower.
He immediately gathered his thoughts, saying, "So you are already investigating the traitors in secret? Any results yet?"
Qin Yanyang said, "There are already several targets, but we need to dig deeper. This time, we must eradicate all those who don’t belong to us."
Yang Fei nodded solemnly, "Hmm, this is our real stronghold, even our last retreat, we can’t leave any ill-intentioned people here."
Qin Yanyang looked at him and asked, "Are you confident in controlling Zhuge Cang? This person almost spoiled things last time, and the Zhuge family suffered heavy losses in the previous conflict, he probably hates us to the core. If not, just get rid of him to prevent future troubles."
Yang Fei said confidently, "Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, Zhuge Cang can’t stir up any trouble and won’t dare act recklessly."
Qin Yanyang snorted, "Don’t be too confident, we just said that the human heart is the most complex, not to mention Zhuge Cang was once an enemy."
Yang Fei nodded, "I’m keeping watch, don’t worry, honey. By the way, can you bring the people from the Zhuge family here?"
Qin Yanyang frowned, "You still want to use the people from the Zhuge family?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "Not use, but use them to influence Zhuge Cang, so he’s permanently willing to stay on our side."
Qin Yanyang said, "I’ll arrange for someone to do that."
Speaking, she looked at Yang Fei with concern and said, "With those thirty-three from the Hidden Sect, plus Zhuge Cang, so many who could threaten Yunwu Mountain’s Base, are you sure you can keep them under control?"
Yang Fei said proudly, "Don’t worry, honey, even if it’s them, even if top experts like Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang are here, I can handle it."
Qin Yanyang was somewhat unconvinced, saying, "Don’t be too arrogant. Without the Physical Body Realm as a foundation, I just don’t feel secure. By the way, how is your body recovering?"
With that, she glanced down.
Yang Fei’s face turned red.
Ever since he wasn’t doing well in that aspect, he didn’t dare too often challenge Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu to spar either.
Once boasting such high achievements, now becoming so weak, each time he felt like he lost face again.
This won’t do, sooner or later, the two ladies will despise him.
So he could only try to limit the sparring sessions.
Fortunately, Tong Yunshu and Qin Yanyang seemed to understand and sympathize with him, never bringing up the matter proactively.
Yet, because of this, Yang Fei’s fragile heart was further scarred.
He wondered more than once if it was because he wasn’t competent enough that they weren’t satisfied and didn’t want to communicate with him?
Even now, with Qin Yanyang concerned about his Physical Body Realm condition, knowing well it’s for his good, worrying about his health, he couldn’t help but think, is she hoping for his recovery to have certain expectations?
Damn, why do I always think negatively?
Yang Fei tried to dispel his wicked thoughts. Seeing Qin Yanyang expectantly looking at him, he braced himself and said, "I’m working hard, trying to recover soon."
Qin Yanyang felt a twinge of heartache seeing him , saying, "I noticed you’ve been diverting your attention to studying the Rune Tao lately, although that’s important as well, I think you should focus wholeheartedly on restoring your Physical Body Realm strength first, that’s your real confidence and foundation."
Yang Fei nodded, "Alright, I’ll listen to my wife."
He hasn’t sparred with the two ladies recently, actually feeling quite pent up.
If he could recover his Physical Body Realm strength sooner, even a little bit, he could regain his vigor. Then, with dual cultivation, recovery would be even faster.
Damn, can’t think about it, the more I think about it, the more I want it.
From today on, I’ll only focus on researching how to recover the Physical Body Realm strength.
That’s the foundation of a man, the confidence I need to face Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu.
