Even Yan Bin, who had previously tried to persuade Shen Mu Ning to join the army at the cost of offending Sun Wu, began to waver.

Although he was only the deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee, his power was extraordinary.

If we're really going to be precise, he could be considered someone in the second tier of power within the provincial government.

Why would he go through all that trouble and get nothing in return by dealing in antiques and cultural relics?

They genuinely couldn't understand it and felt there must be something wrong, which is why they questioned Shen Mu Ning.

"My hypnosis technique is flawless." Even after being questioned, she didn't get angry; she simply insisted that her hypnosis technique was correct.

After all, she had never encountered anyone here who could withstand her mental power.

And wasn't she also surprised and confused when she first learned his identity?

So she won't get angry with these people. Once she knows the reason, they'll naturally have nothing to say.

However, before she could continue the interrogation, someone jumped out and criticized her.

"Comrade Shen, I know you are eager to make a name for yourself, but we can't just arbitrarily implicate government officials."

The person who spoke was someone who had been relatively silent and hadn't spoken to her much before.

Actually, he had been resentful before, wondering why Shen Mu Ning, an outsider, could gain the appreciation of Commander Yan and Political Commissar Ji.

Even Sun Tzu seemed to have a special relationship with her and always paid close attention to her.

As for him, a soldier who had fought his way up from the battlefield for many years, he was not as valued as this little girl.

Now she's digging her own grave by trying to implicate government officials.

And since this person happened to be someone he had seen in the newspaper before, he shouldn't be surprised if he exposed her.

"Oh? Eager to make a name for yourself?" Shen Mu Ning sensed deep jealousy in his words.

However, she remained composed and simply asked him a question in return.

She investigated this matter because she didn't want any corrupt officials to sell the cultural artifacts that China has passed down to others.

She didn't want to experience again the situation where Chinese antiques and cultural relics were exhibited in other countries in later generations.

Although she was unable to travel back to the time when China was being attacked and protect the country from invasion.

But she can still stand firm in her country, find these parasites, and clean them up.

She did all of this simply because she was following her heart, and she had no intention of making any merit.

After all, if they hadn't realized that it involved too much, and Deng Kai and the others hadn't received the news of a temporary silence.

She feared that their resurgence was a distant prospect, and her investigation would stall.

They wouldn't ask the military for help; instead, they would quietly get to work on their own.

Just like Xu Yuan was killed by her, no one knew.

Needless to say, they had no desire to gain merit or any personal benefits.

The man froze under Shen Mu Ning's icy gaze. When he came to his senses, he realized that he had been intimidated by a little girl.

A wave of embarrassment and anger washed over him, and without caring who else was around, he shouted.

"Comrade Shen, you don't need to look at me like that."

"It's easy to find out if he is the real deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee. Just get a photo of Xin Chi from the Jilin provincial government."

He didn't believe that this person's position was really as Shen Mu Ning said.

After all, if he really held such a high position, Xin Chi's face should be quite famous and easily recognizable, right?

How could he dare to run around with that face and get involved in the resale of cultural relics?

That's why he came up with this idea to verify Xin Chi's identity.

Sun Wu, Yan Bin, Ji Heng, and the others were annoyed that this person had started a fight with Shen Mu Ning without considering the occasion.

But his suggestion was indeed a good way to confirm the person's identity.

The group's gaze shifted to Shen Mu Ning's face, hoping to get some advice from her.

She said, "Uncle Yan, this is indeed a good idea, but before that, could you please get me some alcohol?"

Although Yan Bin didn't immediately realize what the person's identity had to do with alcohol.

Before he could even think, his mouth blurted out, "Is this the kind of alcohol used in hospitals?"

After receiving her affirmative answer, he instructed the soldiers guarding outside the interrogation room to hurry to the military hospital to retrieve it.

Those who questioned Shen Mu Ning noticed that Yan Bin showed no intention of requesting photos from the Jilin Provincial Government.

He immediately became anxious and said, "Commander Yan, even if Comrade Shen is wrong, are you going to protect her?"

Since things have come to this point, Yan Bin and the others still have to stand on Shen Mu Ning's side and listen to her completely.

He was truly disheartened, and his jealousy grew stronger.

Shen Mu Ning could tell that this person was stuck in a rut, so she tried to shut him up and stop him from making a fuss.

She only replied with one sentence: "We're not short of time. You'll know once the alcohol kicks in."

Her voice carried a reassuring yet undeniable tone, instantly clearing the man's mind from his jealousy.

He noticed that none of his comrades were on his side, and their eyes held a hint of doubt.

He hurriedly explained, "It wasn't me... I had seen a newspaper from Jilin Province before, and it had a picture of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee."

"I... I looked at him, and his face didn't look like that person at all, which is why I was so suspicious just now."

With his explanation, everyone understood why he was suddenly so certain that Shen Mu Ning had made a mistake.

After all, he was someone who had actually seen the face of the deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee, so it's not surprising that he was so excited.

"Comrade, don't worry, once the alcohol arrives, you'll know whether I made a mistake or not."

Although Shen Mu Ning sensed his jealousy, and he had just been questioning her relentlessly.

But she knew that this person just couldn't stand her; she was only being pampered by Uncle Yan and the others because she had a special skill.

Besides, you can tell from his age that he experienced the War of Resistance against Japan.

Therefore, she has a forgiving heart towards such people.

Besides, once the mystery is solved and he realizes he wasn't wrong, that's when he'll truly be proven wrong.

"Report." A moment later, a report rang out from outside the interrogation room.

"Come in." The person who pushed open the door was indeed a soldier who had gone to get the alcohol.

"Commander, this is medical alcohol." He handed the alcohol to Yan Bin and then turned to leave.

Yan Bin handed the medical alcohol to Shen Mu Ning, leaving it to her to decide how to use it.

"Here you go, Xiao Shen."

After applying the alcohol, Shen Mu Ning squatted down again, dipped a cotton ball in the alcohol, and slowly wiped Xin Chi's neck.

Seeing her actions, Sun Wu, Yan Bin, and others thought of a possibility.

Could this person have already disguised themselves? So...

Although they had their own guesses, no one spoke up at this moment, waiting for the moment of revelation.
