Su Qing was finally relieved after receiving news that Hu Youcai had been killed in the cabinet committee meeting.
Only the dead can keep secrets.
Without Hu Youcai, the Lianhua Brigade became like an iron barrel, impenetrable.
Su Qing started working at the new food factory, and Yuan Bo went with her.
At first, Su Qing only wanted to keep Yuan Bo on her toes, since he was rich and his parents were officials in Beicheng, and she could use them someday.
But now she doesn't dare to make any rash moves, and Yuan Bo's persistent pursuit of her is common knowledge.
Su Qing was so annoyed that she regretted luring this person here.
Gu Yunze investigated Yuan Bo's background in Beicheng, but was quickly discovered by his parents' people.
His family was involved in politics, while Gu Yunze's family was involved in the military; theoretically, they shouldn't have any connection.
But since he was investigating the Yuan family, Yuan's father immediately thought of his own foolish son.
So he asked someone to find an opportunity to visit them directly.
Gu Yunze knew that his investigation, which was conducted openly and honestly, would soon be discovered.
He did this simply to test whether Yuan's parents were involved in espionage activities.
When Yuan's father heard about spies, his legs went weak with fear.
“Our family has impeccable revolutionary credentials and there’s no way we could have any connection with those people.”
Yuan's mother was so frightened that she trembled, and it was only after Li Huizhu comforted her that she calmed down a bit.
She bit her lip: "My Yuan Bo is such a silly boy, he doesn't know any of this."
We didn't want him to go to the countryside in the first place, but he signed up himself without telling us.
They didn't find out until the educated youth office came to their home to deliver big red flowers.
Later, Yuan's mother learned that Yuan Bo wanted to go to the countryside because of a female classmate of his.
“That woman is definitely not a good person. I checked, and her family is just an ordinary family. They had several daughters before they had a son, but they live a very good life.”
When Yuan's mother went to investigate, she heard that the Su family now had a television, a radio, and a sofa, and lived like a cadre family.
At the time, she only thought that her family was relatively well-off, but now that she thinks about it, where did that money come from?
When Mr. and Mrs. Yuan left the Gu family, they were still terrified and kept insisting that they knew nothing about those things.
Yuan's father even said that if Yuan Bo was involved, he would put aside his own family for the greater good.
After all, he has more than one son; he also has to consider his other children.
Gu Yunze remained noncommittal. After they left, he asked Gu Henglin, "Did you notice anything?"
"The couple wasn't lying, and they weren't worried about contacting special agents."
Gu Yunze nodded: "That means the most important thing now is the Su family."
Gu Henglin had had considerable contact with special agents over the years, so he could easily guess the situation of the Su family upon hearing about it.
"This family probably knows about what Su Qing did."
Otherwise, how do you explain their extravagant lifestyle?
Soon after, a group of soldiers arrived at the compound where the Su family lived and took the entire family away.
The neighbors were so frightened that they didn't dare to go out for several days. The thought of living in the same courtyard as this family made them feel scared.
After handing over the interrogation of the Su family to his father, Gu Yunze packed his things and prepared to return to Lianhua Brigade.
Before leaving, he told his mother, "The mission should be over when I come back next time, so don't worry."
Although Li Huizhu was reluctant to part with him, she knew that her child had his own responsibilities.
"Where is the daughter-in-law?"
Since you already have a partner, why don't you say you'll bring them home to meet us next time?
Gu Yunze smiled and said, "Well, she has to agree first. I can't just agree for her, can I?"
Li Huizhu patted him on the shoulder: "You're so good with words. Then go back and try to be nicer to her, and she'll be willing to marry you, won't she?"
"After you get married, let's have a big, healthy grandson..."
Seeing that his mother was getting carried away with her thoughts, Gu Yunze quickly interrupted her, saying, "Mom, Mom, you shouldn't think about it so much. It's not even close to happening yet."
Lin Yu was too young to think that far ahead.
As Gu Yunze boarded the train, he saw his mother waving to him from the platform, and he felt a pang of reluctance.
But the thought of his beloved being far away filled him with anticipation.
The train whistled and pulled away, and Gu Henglin thought about what his wife had just told him about their chubby grandson.
"Huizhu, don't think that you'll have to take care of your grandchildren when you have them in the future. You can't leave me."
Ever since Gu Yunze mentioned that he could have his own room and live with his wife while he was away at the military base, the old man has been afraid that his wife would follow him.
He himself knew that he had wronged Li Huizhu over the years. She married him at the age of eighteen and worked hard to help him take care of his children.
In the end, I was heartbroken.
The old man is now always afraid that she holds a grudge against him and will find an opportunity to leave.
After decades of marriage, Li Huizhu naturally knew what he was thinking.
She had considered leaving the old man, but the children were grown up, and she loved them, so she couldn't disturb them too much.
Although she suffered heartbreak in her early years, Gu Henglin treated her relatively well.
That's how it is for people of her generation; they just keep going as long as they can.
She certainly wouldn't flatter the old man verbally, lest he become too smug and think he could do whatever he wanted just because she wasn't leaving.
"If you have a grandson, I'll definitely go see him. As for whether I'll leave or not, that depends on your behavior."
Gu Henglin quickly said, "Huizhu, we've been together for so many years, don't you know me? I would never do anything to hurt you."
In his early years, he was away fighting wars and didn't know how to cherish his wife after he got married.
Instead, they left all the children to her to take care of.
His biggest mistake was agreeing to let the child's maternal grandparents and uncle take the child back to raise him.
This resulted in the child not only being estranged from his wife, but also harboring deep hatred towards her.
After returning from the battlefield, Gu Henglin finally had time to deal with his first wife's family and their two children.
Unfortunately, the damage done to Li Huizhu can never be made up for.
He could only try his best to go along with her, listen to her, and not hurt her anymore.
Li Huizhu sighed, "I understand your feelings. Don't worry, the child is all grown up now, and I won't bother him easily."
Unless one day the old man becomes senile and wants his two children from his first marriage, she will leave.
She has a son, so she no longer has to put up with those two ungrateful wretches.
The old man was overjoyed to know that his wife wouldn't leave him easily.
The guard driving in front found his words quite amusing.
The commander who is majestic and imposing outside is just a tiger with its whiskers pulled when he returns home.
......
Upon returning to the county town, Gu Yunze first went to the commune office to find Lu Yunfeng and discuss the events of the past few days.
Yuan Bo's family and the Su family are now under surveillance.
Su Qing was the only remaining inside agent on this side, and Gu Yunze had already identified several of her superiors.
The arrest can only be carried out with Lu Yunfeng's cooperation.
Lu Yunfeng came here to cooperate with Gu Yunze, so he didn't say much and went on the mission with Gu Yunze.
Several cadres suspected to be Su Qing's superiors were brought back for interrogation.
