In an instant, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves.
For several days in a row, the condemnation of "old revolutionary Guan XX" has been rampant.
Among them, the most vocal was the Hongshi Daily, which not only launched a full-scale attack against the government but also subtly accused the municipal government of protecting the ringleader, a crime deserving of unforgivable punishment.
The municipal party committee simply issued a lukewarm statement, telling everyone not to believe or spread rumors.
However, the backlash from public opinion could no longer be suppressed.
Bai Qinyue was overjoyed, as she kept a close eye on the newspaper.
"Sigh, why didn't I think of this method!"
"If only I had written this letter, I would be famous throughout the country!"
To protect the whistleblower, the "real name" was blurred when it was published in the newspaper.
Bai Qin looked at the mosaic-covered signature and was incredibly envious.
The accusations against Old Master Guan and Guan Yuxi were as if they had been ripped from her own heart; the writer's thoughts were exactly the same as hers.
As she looked at it, she even had a vague feeling that the handwriting looked a bit like her own, and even the signature looked like the two characters "Bai Qin".
She lay on the bed, clutching her stomach, filled with deep regret.
I wish I could write another formal complaint and submit it.
The knocking on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Is Bai Qin home?"
We'd like to speak with her about the whistleblower letter she wrote.
Bai Qin jumped up in excitement.
So, it turns out she really did write that whistleblower letter!
It's true what they say, pregnancy makes you stupid for three years; she actually forgot something so important.
"I'm here. What do you leaders want to ask? I will answer to the best of my ability."
I am not afraid to fight against evil forces to the very end...
Finally, the comrades who came to investigate also visited the villagers of Lengjiagou.
However, everyone who was asked about it was tight-lipped, either saying "I don't know" or "It's hard to say."
When asked if the allegations in the whistleblower letter were true, everyone either forced a smile, lowered their heads, or hurriedly walked away.
Bai Qin, who was initially worried about being exposed, finally let her guard down.
It turns out that the villagers' dissatisfaction with the Guan family had existed for a long time.
It seems she really did a great thing!
"Sirs, it is no longer safe for me to live in Lengjiagou."
"Could you take me to the city so I can hide for a while? I'm pregnant, and my husband is too scared to come back..."
Faced with the pitiful victim, the investigators felt pity and took the person away without saying a word.
Faced with the fully armed investigators, the old hag and Leng Qingshi dared not speak out against their anger.
"By the way, I wrote this letter of denunciation with the support of Chu Zheling, a young educated youth."
If it weren't for him, I, a weak woman, wouldn't have dared to stand up.
He had also collected considerable evidence of the man's crimes and earnestly requested that the leaders bring him back to cooperate with the investigation.
Despite the sudden honor, Bai Qin did not forget to help her beloved lover.
She wrote him several letters after he left.
He always said he was busy, but this time, she was finally going to see him!
A few days later, Chu Zheling was also picked up from the university.
He hesitated when asked about the crimes of the "old revolutionaries".
However, when the visitor explained Bai Qin's situation, he nodded without hesitation.
Bai Qin is deeply in love with him and is pregnant with his child, so she definitely wouldn't harm him.
How could he possibly give up this chance to rise to the top!
Besides, Old Master Guan is already dead; he might not be able to crawl out of his grave to defend himself.
He only has one descendant, Guan Yuxi. What can a pampered girl do?
“I fled from Lengjiagou in a hurry, and all those things… are gone.”
Chu Zheling had no evidence to offer, so he could only give a vague answer.
He had been driven out of the village by Leng Lie when he left.
It's not exactly lying.
***
Guan Yuxi would have Lin Guoyun bring back a newspaper from the commune every day.
On this day, when he saw that the wording in a nationally authoritative political publication had changed from "severely punish" and "rectify party conduct and discipline" to "appease public anger" and "make an example of someone."
She knew that the moment she had been waiting for was finally approaching!
At this point, five months and twenty-one days had passed since Leng Lie left on his mission.
He said he'd be back in a few days, but now...
Their fate is unknown!
The days of tormenting myself with all sorts of curses and insults from work and newspapers are finally over.
Early that morning, she received a discarded newspaper with only a title and no content.
She took action.
A rare overcast day, with dark clouds looming over the city.
A silver lightning bolt ripped through the gray city.
The synchronized footsteps, like thunder, roused the silent street.
Just as everyone thought it was thunder, a group of people dressed in white mourning clothes stood in front of the solemn Hongshi Daily newspaper building.
The rows of white cloth banners with red lettering were shocking:
"Don't let heroes bleed and weep!"
"Can blood and lives only be exchanged for slander and rumors?"
"A lifetime spent defending the borders is not as valuable as a stroke of the pen!"
"We urge the Hongshi Daily to give the revolutionary martyrs justice!"
......
Thunder rumbled, echoing the footsteps of the crowd.
Hongshi Daily is located in the busiest central waiting area.
People who had been rushing home expecting a downpour slowed down involuntarily.
