Ji Heng's question suddenly startled Sun Wu, who was lost in his thoughts. After regaining his senses, he continued to press for answers.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just want a copy of Shen Mu Ning's identity details."

"Furthermore, judging from what Yan Bin just said, he seems to be looking for that young comrade to help with the interrogation?"

"When she arrives at the Jilin Provincial Military Sub-district, I'll come too, and see if this hypnosis is really that amazing!"

Sun Wu's interest in Shen Mu Ning now far outweighs that in Qian Zhuang.

Of course, he can still distinguish between what is important and what is not.

Before this case of trafficking in cultural relics is resolved, let's focus on this matter first.

"Yes, I will send you her information as soon as possible and arrange everything. I look forward to your arrival."

Seeing that he had managed to shift the blame to Shen Mu, Ji Heng's tone became lighter.

In any case, the higher-ups know about this person and will likely investigate her thoroughly, so he can rest assured.

"Okay, that's all for today. Report back immediately if anything comes up."

"yes."

The two parties then ended the call, and Ji Heng naturally went to arrange matters related to He City.

Sun Tzu, on the other hand, sat quietly in his office for a long time.

I wonder if this Shen Mu Ning really has the ability to know the past of someone with amnesia.

Only after his bodyguard Wu Shuo reminded him did Sun Wu come to his senses and give him some instructions.

"Once Comrade Xiao Shen's information arrives tomorrow, have someone check it out."

Although he wanted Shen Mu Ning to hypnotize him, he still needed to check her background first.

Only after confirming that she was truly harmless could he use her with peace of mind.

This would also allow her to participate in the subsequent interrogation of those involved in the trafficking of cultural relics.

"Yes, Commander Sun." Wu Shuo was not the bodyguard who had been with him the longest, so he did not know what Sun Wu was thinking at this moment.

I thought he just found Shen Mu Ning's identity suspicious and needed to investigate it thoroughly.

So he simply accepted his order and then urged Sun Tzu to go back to sleep for a while.

Because he knew that General Sun had trouble sleeping at night and was prone to headaches, he had to make sure he got proper rest.

*************

As dawn breaks, sunlight streams through gaps in the clouds, illuminating the world.

It paints the earth and mountains with a golden color.

Everyone at the educated youth settlement had already gotten up; some were preparing breakfast, while others were washing up.

Everyone is preparing to start work later.

After a night of cultivation, Shen Mu Ning got up refreshed and prepared breakfast.

However, two people stood out from the crowd.

Among the group of refreshed people, Wei Sheng and Zhao Chuan, looking tired and yawning, were truly out of place.

Seeing their behavior, if someone said they went to steal a cow last night, Shen Mu Ning wouldn't doubt it at all.

Therefore, she looked at the two of them with suspicion and uncertainty.

According to her understanding, the educated youth would come back exhausted from working in the fields every day, and would basically fall asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow.

What's going on between them?

“Shen Zhiqing, can you please not look so blatantly at me?”

Feeling embarrassed by her gaze, Zhao Chuan finally couldn't help but ask.

They initially thought that this educated youth would only glance at them briefly, but it turned out that she was staring at them intently.

Who could withstand such a burning gaze?

Upon hearing his question, Shen Mu Ning coughed a few times tactically to clear her throat.

"Ahem, I'm just curious, why are you all in such poor condition today!"

Could she say that she was actually thinking of something strange?

cannot.

"Hey, if you're curious, you can just ask us."

Zhao Chuan thought something was wrong with her, but it turned out she was just curious about this.

"That's right, even if you don't ask us, we'll still tell you."

Wei Sheng, who had overheard their conversation, also spoke up at this moment.

Actually, he was afraid that this educated youth might have some bad ideas about the two of them, so he didn't dare to talk to her.

But if he's curious about why they both look so tired, he'll tell you later.

Judging from his tone, there seems to be some inside story here.

Shen Mu Ning, who is currently feeling anxious, desperately needs something else to distract herself.

So, she's open to gossip and such; she wants to hear it.

Lin Siqi, who had missed their earlier conversation, stepped out of the room and saw Shen Mu Ning's bright, sparkling eyes.

Well, how should I put it, that expression on her face really felt a bit out of place.

After all, she had always maintained a cool and aloof image, so it feels like she's breaking out of that persona.

What are you talking about?

As she finished speaking, Wei Sheng recounted what had happened the previous night.

"Zhu Yang didn't come back yesterday, so we went to report to the captain."

"But the brigade said that he did not give Zhu Yang a letter of introduction, but only asked him to go to the commune to buy seasonings."

"So, he didn't know where Zhu Yangren went either, but he said he would have someone help look for him."

Actually, they mentioned this matter briefly during dinner.

However, after he and Zhao Chuan went to find the captain and returned, everyone had already gone to sleep, so they didn't know the outcome.

So, after he finished speaking, everyone else nodded in understanding.

Only Shen Mu Ning's questioning voice rang out: "Zhu Yang is missing?"

She was preoccupied with something last night and didn't pay attention to the situation at the educated youth settlement, so she didn't notice that Zhu Yang was not there.

"Yes, he didn't come back last night. You probably didn't notice!" Lin Siqi answered her question.
