Wei Aiguo usually comes back every Sunday. Tomorrow is Sunday.

This matter involves the arsenal, and Song Yan wants to wait for Wei Aiguo to return before deciding what to do. Song Yan also thought of Cheng Wenkai; perhaps he could report any cases to him?

Song Yan felt uneasy. She wanted to go find Lao Zeng and Lao Du, both of whom were experienced in big situations. However, Song Yan held back; their current status made it inappropriate for them to participate in such matters.

Song Yan was worried that Wei Aiguo wouldn't come back tomorrow, but she did nothing but wait patiently.

Wei Aiguo returned home on time.

Yueyue saw Wei Aiguo and pounced on him.

Wei Aiguo held Yueyue in his arms, and he could see the unease in Song Yan's eyes.

Wei Aiguo didn't stay in her mother's room for long; he carried Yueyue back to his own room.

"What's wrong?" Wei Aiguo asked as soon as he returned to his room.

Song Yan opened his pencil case, inside were the broken fountain pen and the rolled-up paper.

Song Yan recounted the entire story of discovering the pen's unusual nature.

The paper was unfolded; it was a notebook containing records of Mao Dahai, the head of Tugang Village, repeatedly stealing and selling the village's grain. The records included the year and the quantity of grain.

The buyer was from the old Black Mountain arsenal.

He Zhiqing also provided a detailed description of the buyer's appearance.

Song Yan noticed the mention of spies in the original story. "Was Mao Dahai embezzling public property, or was he a spy?"

My wife actually thought of spies.

Wei Aiguo: "Upon seeing He Zhiqing's letter of denunciation, Mao Dahai confessed so quickly. Now it seems that it wasn't that his psychological defenses collapsed, but rather that he was afraid that if too many things were implicated, his whole family would be ruined."

The educated youth's ostensible letter of denunciation concealed more crucial information hidden in her pen. It's highly likely that she knew Captain Mao wouldn't let her off the hook.

He Zhiqing was silenced because he knew too much.

Song Yan: "Now that Mao Dahai is dead, does that mean the investigation can't continue?"

"Mao Dahai is dead. But could he have moved so much grain by himself? Someone in Tugang Village will know."

"Besides, Mao Yiheng is still alive! I don't believe he knows nothing," Wei Aiguo said bitterly.

"Shouldn't we report such a serious matter to the police?" Song Yan asked.

“This is definitely being investigated discreetly. We can’t file a police report publicly. I’ll handle this tomorrow, so don’t worry.” Wei Aiguo hugged Song Yan.

The information provided on paper is extremely useful and may lead to a major breakthrough.

…

Lu Xingtian was also extremely excited. It would have seemed very strange if he hadn't left the brigade in the middle of the night. He wanted to report the situation to the authorities right now.

Wei Aiguo: "We need to stay calm!"

Lu Xingtian nodded. "Yes, yes." He took a few deep breaths. "Who is the person He Zhiqing described?"

Wei Aiguo: "I only found one person with a mole on his left hand, and that was Yang Jiang, the warehouse director."

…

When Wei Aiguo returned, he would go to Lao Zeng's place at night. Previously, Song Yan was heavily pregnant and it wasn't convenient, but now she was worried the baby would wake up, so she didn't go at night anymore. She would always leave her daughter in her spatial dimension before going, even when Wei Aiguo wasn't home. Therefore, Song Yan never noticed Wei Aiguo visiting Lu Xingtian.

Wei Aiguo kept getting distracted tonight.

Old Zeng was such a perceptive man. He came out to see Wei Aiguo off. "Has something happened?"

Wei Aiguo: "Yes."

Old Zeng won't ask any more questions; that's the rule. Wei Aiguo won't say much either.

"Xiaoyan really hopes to take the college entrance exam with you... Have you thought about how to explain it to her?" Old Zeng had been worried about Wei Aiguo ever since he heard the news of the resumption of the college entrance exam. Especially when he asked Song Yan how confident she was of passing, Song Yan said more than 90%...

He was so worried!

Song Yan is young, beautiful, and well-educated. What does Wei Aiguo have? He's just a country bumpkin stuck in the mountains. This mission of his might take him ten or eight years…

Old Zeng tried to ask, what if Wei Aiguo fails the exam?

Song Yan said at the time, "Wei Aiguo isn't stupid! I've been tutoring him, he shouldn't fail the exam." His tone was so confident. It wasn't about him failing the exam; it was about Wei Aiguo being incapable of passing.

Old Zeng said, "What if Wei Aiguo doesn't pass the exam?"

Song Yan gave Lao Zeng a good scolding. "How can you talk so pessimistically!" she said. Besides, she believed things would get better and better, and she could get Wei Aiguo out of there. There were countless paths in the world; she could find one for Wei Aiguo, and he could do anything.

Why would Wei Aiguo give up his secure job if he went out without a local household registration and without a job? Old Zeng's words really angered Song Yan.

Song Yan said: "What's wrong with you? All you do is spout discouraging things. Didn't you say Lao Shen listens to you? Tell him to transfer Wei Aiguo away."

Is it impossible for someone as high-ranking as Lao Shen to handle such a small matter?

Song Yan was just saying that out of anger; she definitely wouldn't do that.

Old Zeng had said that he could ask Old Shen for help if he needed anything. He wouldn't dare refuse. Old Zeng had nothing to say, so he made an excuse, saying that Old Shen was a selfless person, and he was afraid that Old Shen wouldn't do things that were not his responsibility.

Song Yan was so angry he almost laughed. Old Zeng had promised to help him become a doctor. Why was he muttering about this now? And why couldn't he just say something positive?

Old Zeng angered Song Yan, who said she would go find Chief of Staff Xu, Division Commander Qiu, and Army Commander Wang. They had promised to send her to the military hospital. They were willing to let her in even before she had a formal education, but once she had one, there was no reason for them to reject her. She suggested that Wei Aiguo accompany her to the army.

Old Zeng was at a loss for words. He realized that Song Yan had the ability to take Wei Aiguo away, but Wei Aiguo stubbornly refused to leave the remote mountain village. The reason for this remained unexplained…
