This comment made old Mr. Sims pause briefly before he chuckled, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Keira cut straight to the point, “I know the truth.”
Old Mr. Sims looked at her, momentarily startled. “What do you
know?”
Keira replied, “I know Barry Brandt isn’t a traitor, and I also know
you’re not a spy.”
Old Mr. Sims hesitated, then gave a wry smile. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Keira stepped closer and said, “Everyone says Professor Brandt is a traitor, that he betrayed his country and will never come back. But in reality, only a few people know that he’s been nurturing talent for the country all along, and he’ll return home one day.”
She looked at him intently. “That day might be far off, or it could be
tomorrow.”
Old Mr. Sims’s expression changed immediately. He eyed Keira with suspicion and asked, “Who are you? How do you know these things?”
Keira responded, “It doesn’t matter, nor does how I know. What’s important is… I’m sorry that you’ve suffered.”
Old Mr. Sims fell silent.
Keira continued, “I know you’re just playing a part in his plan. If the act isn’t convincing enough, it could attract the attention of

Country M, making his return even more difficult. So, you had no choice but to accept this blame!”
Old Mr. Sims clenched his jaw, momentarily at a loss for words, but finally sighed. “I really don’t know what you’re talking about. If this were true, the higher–ups wouldn’t have imprisoned me…”
Seeing that he wouldn’t admit anything without more details, Keira sighed. “A friend told me he met Professor Brandt. Although it seems like he betrayed his country, his heart is actually with his nation. When he recruits students abroad, he might say they won’t return home, but privately, he’s very selective. His students are required to sign an agreement to come back.”
Old Mr. Sims’s brow furrowed deeply.
Keira then revealed, “The friend who told me this is my husband.”
When Holly mentioned Barry Brandt, Lewis had whispered this exact information to her.
When she finally met old Mr. Sims again, she understood.
Old Mr. Sims knew Barry Brandt’s intentions and was his collaborator within the country.
If Brandt wanted to establish himself abroad, he would need technological support; the information old Mr. Sims provided was likely not related to national security.
The money Brandt sent was probably a facade for trading technology, but in reality, it might have been Brandt returning the money he had earned over the years to his country.
That was why all that money remained untouched in Old Mr.

Sims’s account.
A true miser would never be able to do that.
Seeing Keira speak with such certainty, old Mr. Sims knew he could no longer hide the truth.
He stared intensely at her and asked, “Can I trust you?”
Keira responded, “Yes.”
“Even if I don’t trust you, I must, mustn’t I?” Old Mr. Sims spoke gravely. “As a member of the Freeman Sect, you must be patriotic deep down. So, I beg you, please don’t let this get out…”
He continued, “Barry Brandt’s research abroad is extremely important for our country’s development. We are at a critical juncture; once this research is complete, he can lead his students back home! Therefore, at this stage, I must be a spy! I can only be a
spy!”
Keira asked, “How long will this critical juncture last?”
Old Mr. Sims was taken aback. “Not long.”
“How soon is ‘not long‘?”
Old Mr. Sims clenched his jaw and stayed silent.
Keira turned to him. “I’m also a scientist, so I understand that ‘very soon‘ could mean two years, five years, or even longer. Each scientific breakthrough at a critical point is the toughest phase. You can be imprisoned for a week, a month, but what if it’s ten years?”
Old Mr. Sims laughed. “Then it’s ten years.”
