Lin Siqi was no longer worried when she saw Shen Mu Ning return.

So after asking her when she would be back, I didn't say anything more and went straight to cooking.

As for He Xiaolan, ever since yesterday's incident, her heart has been filled with hatred for Shen Mu Ning.

Whether it was seeing Shen Mu Ning this morning or now, she was restraining herself.

Because she knew she couldn't beat Shen Mu Ning.

Even if she was filled with resentment, she couldn't show it to Shen Mu Ning at all.

Otherwise, if the other people at the educated youth settlement saw it, they would tell Shen Mu Ning.

Now, whenever she encounters Shen Mu Ning, she can only avoid her from a distance and head to the kitchen early in the morning.

Zhang Jiayang, on the other hand, seemed to be deep in thought, pondering Shen Mu Ning's words.

When he first learned that Shen Mu Ning was skilled in martial arts, he became suspicious of her identity.

Although he hadn't found anything about Shen Mu Ning that was inconsistent with her status during the month he had spent with her, he still hadn't discovered it.

She worked diligently every day, maintaining roughly the same pace as all the other educated youth.

Although she pointed out the flaws in Cao Jin's schemes yesterday, allowing her to extricate herself from the situation.

As for He Xiaolan, who got involved, she was also severely reprimanded.

Therefore, Zhang Jiayang's feelings towards Shen Mu Ning are more admiration than wariness.

However, today Shen Mu Ning's trip to the county town took a whole day.

It's hard not to wonder what she was doing in the county town.

But let's go cook first, and discuss it with Chu Mingxu when he gets back.

Shen Mu Ning knew that Zhang Jia Yang still had doubts about her and would not easily lower his guard.

He should be from a large family, just like Chu Mingxu.

Therefore, we should try to understand all the unstable factors around us that we cannot control.

However, Chu Mingxu should have somewhat dispelled his doubts about himself.

Moreover, even if the Chu family still has some remaining influence, they won't be in Chun City anymore.

Once the Chu family is noticed by their rivals, an even more brutal blow awaits them.

Therefore, even though Shen Mu Ning knew that Chu Ming Xu had doubts about her before, she still didn't completely trust him.

However, she was not worried that Chu Mingxu would find out what she had done in the county town.

Besides, Xu Yuan's cause of death was mysterious, and no one could find out that she was the one who did it.

Therefore, she did not take Zhang Jiayang's suspicions to heart.

After Shen Muling finished eating, Chu Mingxu and the others finally returned from work.

Although they were curious about what Shen Mu Ning had been doing, none of them asked.

They knew in their hearts that Shen Mu Ning and they didn't have a good relationship.

They usually kept their distance from each other, so they only exchanged a few pleasantries with her before going about their own business.

Only Chu Mingxu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Mu Ning return.

Although he didn't know that besides reprimanding Cao Jin yesterday, she had also asked about the Red Letter Soldiers.

She was also unclear about the purpose of her trip to the county town today.

But he knew that Shen Mu Ning was not there simply to collect child support.

Therefore, Chu Mingxu was still a little worried about her whereabouts and safety.

However, he currently has no status or position to ask Shen Mu Ning anything.

Shen Muling noticed Chu Mingxu's gaze lingering on her, but she didn't think he was worried about her.

I simply thought he was doubting himself and investigating what he was doing.

After finishing her meal and washing up, Shen Mu Ning didn't get involved in their gardening efforts and went to bed early.

Although Xu Yuan was killed today, some evidence of his crimes was left behind.

However, the other staff members at the Red Guard Office in Anbei County could bring her to justice even if they verified the information she left behind.

However, it fails to leave a lasting impression or instill fear in its successor.

Since he still had to stay in the Johor Brigade for three years, he naturally hoped that the people who would be working in the Red Guard Office would keep a low profile.

It's best to know what you can and cannot do, and not be so arrogant anymore.

This is the best way to ensure the peace and tranquility of her living environment.

She didn't want to end up like Lin Siqi in the novel, who was framed and reported.

The Red Army soldiers would come here every few days as soon as they smelled any profit.

Although Lin Siqi eventually caught up with the person after a series of investigations.

However, she didn't seem to have much of an impression of the mass annihilation of the Red Army soldiers.

Shen Mu Ning thought she had remembered wrong, so she quickly took out the novel she had put away.

After searching through the first half of the book for a long time, I finally discovered that the story of all the Red Letter soldiers being taken away, as seen from Lin Siqi's perspective, took place in the summer of 1975.

Although the novel's catalyst seems to be Lin Siqi, Shen Mu Ning still noticed something different.

The evidence Lin Siqi found at the time was not enough to implicate the entire Red Guard Office of Anbei County.

But the incident still happened, presumably because something unknown occurred.

Since the reasons for their arrest are not known to the public.

Then they must have made a more serious mistake, which is not convenient to disclose.

This led to the arrest of the person based on the Lin Siqi incident and the clues and evidence she provided.

Shen Mu Ning guessed that it might be related to the antiques she wanted to investigate.

Otherwise, the Red-letter Army Office would not have made such a big mistake in less than a year.

Now that she knows, investigating the antique trade will be no easy task.

So, should I wipe out all the Red Army soldiers tomorrow?
