Liang Damin drank a glass of water, then got up and left the office.

He rode his bicycle and arrived at Zhou Huaihai's office without stopping.

When Zhou Huaihai saw Liang Damin come in, he stood up and pointed the fan at Liang Damin.

"Liang Damin, you've worked hard. Sit down and get some fresh air first, then tell me about Qiu Jingwen's family relationships. Are there any suspicious points?"

Liang Damin no longer kept it a secret.

He felt that Qiu Jingwen's parents must have been revolutionary martyrs, otherwise why would someone have specially arranged a job for Qiu Jingwen with a letter of introduction from the field army? He also said that his parents had made outstanding contributions to the revolution and asked the person in charge of the company at the time to take good care of Qiu Jingwen.

So he reported everything to Zhou Huaihai, but in the end he revealed:

"Boss, I won't hide anything from you. Director Shao even suspects that Qiu Jingwen is a member of some kind of covert group. According to Director Wei, Qiu Jingwen's parents must be revolutionaries. To say that he is a spy is simply a joke."

After hearing this, Zhou Huaihai shook his head and said:

"Liang Ke, Director Shao must have his reasons for his suspicions. However, this information is good news, and I am very happy."

At this point, he sighed.

"To be honest, I feel a little embarrassed about investigating Qiu Jingwen. In my heart, Comrade Qiu Jingwen is a good comrade. He is hardworking, capable, and gentle. He is also a middle-level cadre and workshop director that I have high hopes for and promoted step by step. Think about it, if he is found out to be a Kuomintang agent who is also involved in the murder of that barber, wouldn't that be a mistake in our leadership in choosing personnel? If he really is a spy, I, as the leader, will also be held responsible for the improper use of personnel, and everyone will criticize me, Zhou Huaihai, for being blind."

Liang Damin naturally understood what Zhou Huaihai meant, and he himself felt the same way.

The two families get along so well. He and Qiu Jingwen have built a revolutionary and brotherly friendship over the years. Besides, his son is now dating Qiu Jingwen's daughter, Qiu Yue. If Qiu Jingwen and his wife really have problems, or are spies or murderers, how will the two families get along in the future?

He couldn't even imagine if they really had a problem, and whether his son would still be able to date Qiuyue in the future.

How will Qiu Jingwen's family, especially their three underage children, live in the future and face everything that has happened?

Although Liang Damin revealed some secrets that shouldn't have been said, he didn't tell the whole story. He didn't tell Zhou Huaihai what Shao Jian had said at the city meeting. He also knew that Shao Jian suspected that Shang Qiujingwen might be Liu Han's subordinate, Cobra, and that it was related to information brought by the provincial department. However, Liang Damin didn't understand how Liu Han could have recruited a fifteen-year-old boy as an undercover agent.

Zhou Huaihai asked:

"Liang Damin, besides Qiu Jingwen, what's the situation with his lover Jiang Yuping?"

Liang Damin then told Zhou Huaihai what he had learned from Wei Dongmei. After listening, Zhou Huaihai said:

“I know Song Qinghe, the former deputy director of the Hongqi Medical Equipment Factory. After all, he was an old revolutionary. During his illness, I visited him with my superiors. Now that he is gone, I'm afraid we can't know anything about Jiang Yuping. This is the only thing we can let Jiang Yuping know about what happened back then.”

"Boss, to be honest, I once asked Qiu Jingwen about his wife's past. Qiu Jingwen said that his wife was injured before the liberation and seemed to have no memory of the past. Whether she really doesn't remember or is deliberately hiding something, no one knows."

"This is not something we need to worry about. If Shao Jian wants to find out, the public security authorities can send people to Shanghai to investigate. We are a military industrial enterprise, and we should focus on production, operation, and security."

At this point, Zhou Huaihai emphasized:

"Liang Damin, the situation is a bit tense right now. We don't know if there are any enemy agents in our Hongqi Factory. You must ensure security. Increase manpower and patrols for people entering and leaving the factory, especially the Heisuojin warehouse, to guarantee absolute safety."

After hearing this, Liang Damin reported to Zhou Huaihai about the upcoming live-fire target practice exercise.

Zhou Huaihai naturally did not object, and even put forward some ideas and requests.

Liang Damin was reporting to Zhou Huaihai on the investigation progress and work arrangements for Qiu Jingwen and his wife, while Qiu Jingwen sat alone in his office smoking a cigarette.

He was considering what to do next.

Based on his brief conversation with Shao Jian during their meal in the cafeteria, he could sense from Shao Jian's eyes and words that Shao Jian had already set his sights on him and his wife. In fact, he judged that Shao Jian's contact with him was intentional.

He just didn't understand why the head of the investigation team wouldn't have a serious talk with him.

After thinking about Shao Jian, he thought of the anonymous phone call and the undercover agent named Butterfly.

In terms of their relationship, Butterfly should be Liu Han's superior and has information about him.

With his sharp intellect, Qiu Jingwen deduced that this butterfly must be the leader and person in charge of the infiltration team; otherwise, he wouldn't know Qiu Jingwen's former name and code name, Cobra.

Qiu Jingwen decides to anonymously report the existence and lurking danger of Butterfly, a Kuomintang agent.

Qiu Jingwen, who had received training, pulled a page from the company memo, trimmed his eyebrows, and spread it out on the table.

However, after thinking it over, I realized that writing anonymous letters in the office was still risky, so I put the note back in the drawer.

All afternoon until the end of the workday, Qiu Jingwen was pondering how to write the anonymous letter and who to address it to.

Should it be written directly to Shao Jian of the investigation team, or to the political work department of the Hongqi Factory, or to Zhou Huaihai?

Before leaving get off work, Qiu Jingwen's wife, Jiang Yuping, called him.
