After Lao Du broke through Mao Lao Er's psychological defenses, Mao Lao Er confessed a lot.

Mao Lao Er wanted to steal intelligence about advanced weapons, but the Lao Heishan Arsenal only produced the most commonly used guns; advanced weapons had never been produced there.

The higher authorities have been keeping a close eye on the spies lurking in the arsenal; how could they possibly allow a production task that requires secrecy to be completed here!

Mao Zedong also wanted to acquire weapons to stage an armed uprising, but he lacked manpower. It's incredibly difficult to recruit people these days. He once disguised himself as a beggar to try and win over those who hated society. Such people were few and far between. He encountered a few dissatisfied individuals, and when he tentatively suggested revenge or rebellion, they were frightened away, thinking he was insane.

Secondly, there are too few weapons that can be produced.

People as devoted as Yang Jiang are rare. Yang Jiang and his father were starving to death back then, and it was Mao Zedong who gave them money and food, which saved their lives. It was also Mao who gave him money to "pull strings," which allowed him to get a job in the arsenal and a respectable position.

However, Wei Aiguo discovered that Yang Jiang could imitate other people's handwriting. Only someone like Yang Jiang, knowing he had been exposed, would not hesitate to commit suicide by poison.

Yang Jiang committed suicide, not murder.

Wei Aiguo was familiar with the name Shen Changchuan, not only because of Lao Zeng, but also because he was the husband of martyr Su Yinghong and a participant in the battle back then.

At that time, the spies embedded in the army gave Mao Zedong an order to intercept top-secret internal documents. Mao Zedong and his remaining subordinates carried out the interception mission.

Su Yinghong died at the hands of Mao Zedong.

In that operation, almost all of Mao's remaining men were wiped out. He himself escaped with his life hanging by a thread.

Is this really preordained?

Mao Lao Er killed Su Yinghong, and Mao himself captured him. He also led the arrest of the spies lurking in the arsenal. They were all Mao Lao Er's men.

Perhaps I really am Su Yinghong's son.

Wei Aiguo couldn't believe he wasn't his parents' son, because his parents loved him so much.

But there are many things to consider, whether it's what Xiao Hu heard or Lao Zeng's behavior...

These facts caught Wei Aiguo somewhat off guard.

But having his wife in his arms brought him peace. He knew whose husband and father he was. All he needed to do was love them.

…

Time flies when two people are together all the time.

When Wei Aiguo dropped Song Yan off at the school gate, Han, the cadre, was waiting for them.

Han, the clerk, was also very familiar with Song Yan. He took the initiative to greet him, and Wei Aiguo simply nodded.

Han understood: the person was still unhappy.

Han, the clerk, didn't mince words and went straight to his purpose.

Wei Aiguo still needs to complete the necessary procedures to enter the military academy, which probably won't be finished in the next few days. Being unfamiliar with Kyoto, he can't stay in hotels every day. General Shen rented a house for him to stay in temporarily.

Wei Aiguo couldn't quite define his feelings towards Shen Changchuan, but subconsciously he didn't want to accept his help. He was about to refuse when Song Yan pulled him back. Wei Aiguo hesitated.

Han, the clerk, saw things clearly and planned to go back and discuss it with his superiors. To win over Wei Aiguo, they could start with Song Yan.

Song Yan is a woman, and she can speak her mind about some of the things she's particular about. For example, since General Shen helped her find this apartment, who's paying the rent?

Han, the clerk, immediately understood Song Yan's meaning. Of course, whoever lives there should pay the rent!

After renting the house, Song Yan would prepare everything himself, so there was no need to trouble Han, the clerk.

Han, the clerk, hesitated. Everyday life requires pots and pans. Would they get food coupons here? What would they eat?

Don't we need any help with these things?

Song Yan looked at Wei Aiguo; whether or not they needed help renting a house depended on Wei Aiguo.

Wei Aiguo said he would accept help with renting a house, but nothing else was needed.

Han, the clerk, is a capable person; he'll definitely know when to stop. General Shen and Secretary Fang seem to want to buy everything imaginable, even toothbrushes. Their plan is definitely not going to succeed.

Han, the clerk, waited in the distance and let the couple have a few private words.

Song Yan knew that Wei Aiguo would have refused if she hadn't intervened. She wanted to know what Wei Aiguo thought after changing his mind? Would he be unhappy because of her involvement?

Communication is key between husband and wife.

Song Yan asked directly.

Wei Aiguo: "I know you feel that it's not easy to find people who want to rent a house, and since we have to pay for it ourselves, we might as well rent it."

Moreover, if I don't accept it at all, I don't know if Officer Han will keep making a fuss about it." Wei Aiguo's face was full of disdain for Officer Han.

Song Yan wanted to laugh, "Come wait for me at five o'clock this afternoon. My senior brother and I will ask for leave to come and keep you company tonight."

Hearing this made Wei Aiguo feel very happy.

…

Song Yan returned just in time. The second period was about to begin when she arrived at the classroom.

She didn't come home last night; she went to be with her husband. Everyone looked at her and couldn't help but smile and tease her, but it was all well-intentioned.

Accompanying her husband was a perfectly legitimate thing to do, so why should she be shy? Song Yan sat down in her seat with an open and generous air.

Hao Yinzhang wanted to say something, but then the department head, Xu Pingzhi, arrived. All the other students also sat up straight.

Everyone was listening attentively to the lesson.

It was a long class, and during the 20-minute break, the teacher left. The students from the dorm gathered around.

Boss: "Hurry up and confess, was it because you were infatuated with a handsome man that you married him?"

Looking at the gossipy faces, Song Yan didn't care whether they were knowledgeable or not, young or old; gossiping was a woman's nature.

"Song Yan, tell me what your man does for a living!" Duan Xueting said sarcastically.

Song Yan: Does Duan Xueting think she's really nothing special?

Song Yan didn't even glance at her.

"When I first went to the countryside, I was young and not good at farm work, so I wanted to find a long-term meal ticket, so I got married." Song Yan wasn't lying; that's probably what the original owner was thinking.

"Your man isn't just good-looking, is he? You're so shallow," Duan Xueting said.

Before Song Yan could say anything, Shen Ruomei objected. "Do you think everyone is like you, just a pretty face?"

My fourth sister's husband was a decorated soldier!

Duan Xueting, who came from a military family, naturally knew that earning military merit was no small matter, and she angrily turned her head away.
