Unfamiliar Yet Raising 70s Children Together: A Couple's Daily Life

Song Qing and Lu Yang's marriage was a muddled affair. At the beginning of that special era, fearing implication, her parents forced her to break up with her ex-boyfriend and used their connect...

Chapter 224 Where did he get it from?

"Battalion Commander Wang, have you seen this at home before?"

Wang Minggui shook his head. His mind was a complete mess. He stared at Lu Yang opening and closing his mouth, but couldn't understand a word he was saying.

"No."

Wang Minggui only said that someone discovered that Tiedan had lost the stack of white paper in the mountains, without mentioning An'an and Liu Jiandong.

“We happened to be at the entrance of the family compound when we ran into Zhou Lian bringing her child back from the mountain. She must have been looking for these things.”

"...This..." Wang Minggui took a while to finally understand, but he still found it unbelievable.

"Perhaps it was all a coincidence. She went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, but these things were taken by someone else, and she framed them."

Zhou Lian may have indeed gone out last night; the sentry at the gate and others may have seen her.

Tie Dan went to the mountains to wander around because she didn't want to go to school. How can you conclude that she stole the documents from the office just based on these few coincidences?

Wang Minggui became increasingly convinced that he was right; the factory might have indeed lost some documents, and they were trying to find someone to take the blame.

Zhou Lian happened to be involved in these coincidences, and thus became the scapegoat.

"Then how do you explain the things in your son's schoolbag? Where did he get them from, and what is he planning to do with them in the mountains?"

"And where did Zhou Lian go last night?"

Wang Minggui, of course, couldn't explain any of this, so he turned around and anxiously grabbed Zhou Lian's arm.

"Speak up, where did you go last night? Are these things related to you?"

Whenever Zhou Lian encounters something beyond her capabilities, she habitually avoids it. In her survival strategy, most things end up being left unresolved.

But this time she was truly terrified, so terrified that she didn't dare to speak.

Shen Chunjiao had never interacted with the couple before, and she had only heard of Zhou Lian.

She used the same tricks to stall for time and eventually moved to someone else's house. Coincidentally, Director Zhang couldn't delay any longer and had no choice but to give in to her.

It was because of this incident that Song Qing finally gained recognition in front of them, and Director Zhang always thought of her first when there was something good going on.

But this time, Shen Chunjiao was not going to let it go. Even Director Zhang, who had been holding his anger in for so long, was going to let it out today.

"The military region is already aware of this matter. You just need to cooperate with the investigation."

When Lu Yang brought the people over, Shen Chunjiao and the others were also stunned. They couldn't believe that there was actually Wei Lan's mole in the family compound.

"Is this a mistake?"

They found the key person in just half a day, which they found too coincidental.

Lu Yang didn't say anything, but simply placed the stack of white papers on their desks.

This thick stack of white paper was wrapped in a cover, like a large package, and was stamped with a high-ranking official seal.

Shen Chunjiao personally put it in the cabinet last night, so there's no way she could mistake it.

That is to say, now that the cover is damaged, she can see what's inside. If it were before today, if someone had told Shen Chunjiao that what was inside wasn't an exam paper, but a stack of blank paper, she would have thought it was a joke.

"Where did you find it?"

"Zhou Lian's eldest son was abandoned on the mountain."

Shen Chunjiao suppressed her surprise and turned to sit back down in her chair.

"Bring her in; we have questions for her."

There are too many suspicious points in this whole matter, and what Shen Chunjiao wants to know most right now is where Zhou Lian got the office key? Did she plan the whole thing all by herself?
