Chapter 271 You Will Succeed, As Long as You Don’t Give Up
Yu Manli felt as if she was the only one left in the world now, and everything around her was full of uncertainty and danger.
She felt that apart from herself, there was no one she could fully trust. Sometimes, even Chen Shen would hide things from her, which made her inner uneasiness even stronger.
Moreover, Yu Manli is still in the probation stage, and the Communist Party has not assigned her any important tasks yet.
As for the Military Control Commission, their trust in her was minimal. Now, due to the complicated situation, she had lost even more confidence in the Military Control Commission.
Sometimes, Yu Manli had to carefully distinguish the tasks assigned to her by the Military Control Commission.
She knew very well that if she was not careful, this mission might make her take the blame and become a scapegoat.
She has been living in such a precarious and fearful environment, and every step she takes is extremely difficult.
Chen Shen handed the task of transporting the goods to her this time, and Yu Manli knew the reason clearly.
Chen Shen wanted her to see clearly the evil face of the Military Control Commission and completely give up her fantasy and dependence on the Military Control Commission.
However, Yu Manli's heart was in extreme contradiction.
Looking back, it was the Military Control Commission that gave her a new life. When she was captured, she had lost all hope and was determined to die.
However, Wang Tianfeng noticed her talent as a spy and recruited her into a spy school.
At that moment, she seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw in the darkness, and felt that it was the Military Control Commission that gave her a second life.
But now, even though she submitted her application to join the Communist Party, she was still extremely conflicted.
She wanted to give herself some protection, not for others, but for herself to survive in this turbulent situation.
She knew too well the cruel methods of the Military Control Commission. In their eyes, those low-level spies were like grass. Once they lost their usefulness, they would be abandoned without hesitation.
Yu Manli lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
The moonlight shone through the window onto her face, reflecting her expression full of worry and confusion.
She recalled the days of training in the Military Control Commission, the brutal training, the ruthless elimination, and the intrigues among her companions for survival. All of this made her feel physically and mentally exhausted.
"What on earth should I do?"
Yu Manli asked herself softly, her voice sounding particularly clear in the silent room.
She sat up and lit a cigarette. Her thoughts became even more confused in the smoke.
On the one hand, she saw the darkness and ruthlessness of the Military Control Commission and knew that continuing to follow the Military Control Commission would probably lead to a tragic end.
On the other hand, although she yearned for the Communist Party, she could not completely let go of her complicated feelings towards the Military Control Commission.
Yu Manli took a deep puff of her cigarette, trying to calm herself down.
She knew she couldn't hesitate any longer and had to make a decision.
However, this decision was too difficult for her.
The next day, Yu Manli came to work with a tired look on her face. Chen Shen couldn't help but feel worried when he saw her.
"Miaohua, are you okay?"
Chen Shen asked with concern.
Yu Manli forced a smile.
"It's okay, I just didn't sleep well last night."
Chen Shen knew she was lying, but he didn't expose her. He just patted her shoulder gently.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Yu Manli nodded and turned to complete her task.
While working, she could not concentrate and kept thinking about her future and belonging.
The Military Control Commission gave her a new task. The moment Yu Manli received the task document, she was filled with vigilance.
She carefully studied every detail of the mission, trying to find any possible traps.
"This task seems simple, but why do you want me to do it?"
Yu Manli's mind was full of questions.
After some thought, Yu Manli felt that this task was probably a trap.
She decided not to take any action for the time being and to observe for a while.
During this time, Yu Manli kept thinking about her future.
She knew that she couldn't waver any longer and had to make a decision as soon as possible.
Finally, during an in-depth conversation with Chen Shen, Yu Manli finally made up her mind.
"Chen Shen, I've made up my mind. I want to completely break with the Military Control Commission and devote myself wholeheartedly to the cause of the Communist Party."
Yu Manli said firmly.
Chen Shen looked at her with a relieved smile in his eyes.
"Manli, I believe you will not regret this decision."
From that moment on, Yu Manli no longer hesitated or felt confused. She was determined to move forward bravely for her future and her beliefs.
This time, facing the thorny issue of national disaster profits in cargo transportation, Chen Shen said to Manli with a serious face.
"Manli, don't act rashly. Let me get some information before making any further plans."
Yu Manli looked at Chen Shen's firm and calm eyes and nodded without hesitation.
In her heart, Chen Shen has always been a partner worthy of trust and reliance, and she firmly believes in Chen Shen's judgment and arrangements.
"Okay, Chen Shen, I'll listen to you."
Yu Manli's voice was clear and decisive.
Chen Shen patted her shoulder, gave her an encouraging look, and turned to collect information.
Yu Manli looked at Chen Shen's departing back. Although she felt a little anxious, she trusted Chen Shen more.
She knew that this mission was full of risks and uncertainties, and that if she wasn't careful she could end up in an irretrievable situation.
But as long as Chen Shen was there, she felt she had a backbone and the courage and strength to move forward.
Yu Manli waited quietly for news from Chen Shen, during which time she kept thinking about possible situations and how she should respond.
She is fully aware of the weight of her responsibility and cannot afford to be negligent or slack in the slightest.
As time passed, Yu Manli became more and more nervous, but she always kept Chen Shen's instructions in mind and did not act rashly.
Because she knew that Chen Shen would not harm her. Everything he did was for the ultimate victory and to protect the people and things they cared about.
Yu Manli likes to think about the future. She is also a peace-loving person. Even though she has experienced so many people and things that are different from what she expected, she still has a heart that loves life. If she had not been born in this era, Yu Manli might have pursued the life she loves.
Because of this, Yu Manli saw the life she longed for being created in her own hands, and saw a country that truly belonged to her, without exploitation and calculation.
And Yu Manli is Yu Manli, not anyone else, and she doesn’t need to replace anyone else, she is just herself!
