"Who did Shiyue ask to deliver it to you? Is that person reliable?"
After reading the letter his old comrade-in-arms handed him, Lü Wensheng was so shocked that he remained silent for a long time.
After a long silence, he finally asked this question.
"It should be fine. Shiyue is a very clever girl. She didn't send me this letter separately; she had someone deliver a bunch of food to me. The letter was slipped into that pile of food and sent together."
I checked it carefully; she had nailed the wooden crate shut, and there were no signs of it being pried open.
At this point, a gentle look appeared in Shen Yuanbai's eyes: "Shiyue is so filial. She's only been out for a short time, but she's already sent things home for me three times. Sigh, I don't know why she's so worried at such a young age? It's like she's worried every day that I'm not eating enough."
Hearing this, Lü Wensheng couldn't help but laugh as well.
He also thought of the girl with big eyes.
Although he had only met Shiyue once and they weren't even that familiar with each other, he had a very good impression of the girl.
Hearing Shen Yuanbai say this, he couldn't help but nod in agreement: "She's a sensible girl."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity."
Shen Yuanbai naturally knew what his old comrade-in-arms meant by those words.
Let's not even talk about how drastically the girl's life would change if Shiyue's grandfather were still alive today.
If this letter had been released earlier and her identity confirmed sooner, she might not have been trapped on that island.
But it's not too late now!
Shen Yuanbai recalled the words Shiyue had written in her letter.
He said to Lü Wensheng, "I can confirm that Zhuang Wenxuan is the father of Zhuang Ling that Shiyue mentioned. There is no mistake about it."
Actually, I had several opportunities to come into contact with this person before the liberation, so I have some understanding of his experiences.
He did indeed do underground work in Jianglin and had been imprisoned. But I didn't know that he was turned by the enemy while he was in prison.
"If I hadn't seen the materials Shiyue sent back, I would never have imagined this situation!"
At this point, Shen Yuanbai became extremely indignant.
The thought that someone who had betrayed the Party and his comrades could so readily accept the state's rewards and compensation after liberation, and so comfortably hold a high position, is unbearable.
The children of the real revolutionary martyrs were forced to hide in the countryside for decades, and eventually died silently...
His heart was overwhelmed with resentment!
Even now, Shen Yuanbai can still clearly recall the appearance of Shiyue's mother.
Although she was dressed like a country girl, her eyebrows, eyes, and demeanor made her look nothing like a typical country girl.
At the time, he thought it was some landlord's daughter who had fallen on hard times, and he didn't dare to mention it in order to avoid trouble.
But Shen Yuanbai never expected that she was actually the daughter of the extremely famous Mr. Song!
Even more unexpectedly, Mr. Song was also an underground worker like him!
Mr. Song was the most famous capitalist in Jianglin at the time; the most luxurious department store in Jianglin was owned by his family.
“When Shiyue arrives, I will submit these documents to the organization. Neither of you need to show yourselves.”
If someone absolutely needs to testify…
“Then I’ll do it. I can provide this testimony. At the time, I was in an area not far from Jianglin, and I did have contact with Zhuang Wenxuan. If anyone needs to testify, I’ll do it. Don’t involve Shiyue.” Shen Yuanbai interrupted before Lü Wensheng could finish speaking.
"Yes." Lü Wensheng nodded.
Then he looked at his old friend and said, "It's okay, I'll explain this to my former boss, there won't be any risks."
Shen Yuanbai glared at him: "Am I someone who's afraid of risks? If I were, I wouldn't have come."
Lu Wensheng didn't laugh when he heard this. Instead, he looked at him solemnly and said, "It's not a matter of being afraid or not. It's that we can't afford any more setbacks. We've managed to survive until now. Don't let these things ruin our lives."
Shen Yuanbai fell silent after hearing this, and didn't speak for a long time.
With a heart full of trepidation, Shiyue followed the people back to Nanping.
It was almost morning when she arrived in Nanping.
Her companions arranged for her to stay at a guesthouse, saying that everything would be discussed tomorrow and that she should get some rest.
Shiyue originally thought she would be too worried to sleep tonight, but after a day of travel, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
She slept soundly, and Shen Yuanbai came to look for her twice, but she didn't wake up.
Left with no other choice, Shen Yuanbai had to return temporarily.
Shiyue slept until she was so hungry she could hardly stand it before finally waking up, only to realize it was almost 2 p.m.!
Shiyue was so startled that she sat up in bed with a start.
She quickly got up, washed up, and then, without going out, found a piece of bread she had previously stocked up on in her storage space, ate a couple of bites with some milk, and then went out.
Sure enough, she saw Uncle Shen's message at the reception desk.
Uncle Shen told her not to go out after she woke up, but to wait at the guesthouse, and that he would come over again in the afternoon.
Shiyue went back to her room and tidied it up a bit. Not long after, Uncle Shen came again.
Uncle Shen, as always, asked Shiyue all sorts of questions like a father, with the most frequent being about how they were eating on the island: Was the food good? Was there enough food?
It seems that eating is the most important thing in the world, bar none.
Shiyue answered all the questions obediently and did not hide anything.
When Shen Yuanbai first arrived, supply ships couldn't even get into Haijing Island, so he naturally knew about the food shortage that had occurred on the island a few days ago.
He also noticed that Shiyue had lost a lot of weight compared to before.
Hearing Shi Yue's simple answer, Shen Yuanbai couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Shiyue, if it's too hard on the island, how about I find someone to transfer you to work in Nanping City?"
This way, it's not too far from Whale Island, and Li Xuan and the others can go back to the city for a stroll when they're resting.
If you really miss them, it's fine to occasionally go visit them on a supply ship; it's convenient.
Shiyue never expected that Uncle Shen, who was always selfless and public-spirited, would say such a thing.
But she also knew that her uncle was genuinely kind to her and cared about her, which warmed her heart.
She naturally refused, and then brought up the matter of the box.
She took out the wooden box from her travel bag and gave all the original items inside to Shen Yuanbai.
Then he asked, "Uncle Shen, is there anything else I can do for this? If so, just tell me, and I promise to cooperate! Also, I wonder if this evidence can prove that those two people did indeed betray the organization?"
