In the evening, the Fifth Grandpa's house was bustling with noise. The Fifth Grandpa was in a good mood in the afternoon, so he waved his hand and invited many villagers to his house for a drink.
Not only did they catch the spy who had been hiding in the village for so many years, but Suihe was also specially recruited to work at the Public Security Bureau. This was a double blessing.
Professor Dong and several women who came to help prepared four or five tables of delicious food. Everyone ate the plates of meat and drank the bottles of Shaodaozi. It was so enjoyable!
In contrast to this joyful and peaceful atmosphere, in Lao Guan's home, no one turned on the lights and no one cooked. The children were most sensitive to changes in emotions and did not dare to say they were hungry. They just obediently snuggled up to their mother.
Old Lady Guan was lying on the kang in the main room. She woke up after hearing the calls of her daughter-in-law. She stared at the ceiling without saying a word. Guan Dashan spoke to her several times but she ignored him. The third daughter-in-law, however, fed her a few sips of warm water.
At this time, Guan Huashu, Fifth Grandpa and Changhai came to their house. The dinner party at Fifth Grandpa's house was coming to an end. At the invitation of the village chief and Professor Dong, the three of them came to Old Guan's house to ask Old Guan about Guan Huashu's life experience.
When Guan Dashan saw Guan Huashu, he jumped off the kang without a word and raised his fist to hit him, but Changhai grabbed him and dragged him outside. The other daughters-in-law also left at the order of Fifth Grandfather.
Guan Huashu sat down on the kang, his eyes fixed on Old Lady Guan, and without wasting any time, he asked directly, "Whose child am I?"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Guan immediately turned her head to look at Guan Huashu, her lips curled. "You're so capable, but you don't even know whose child you are? And you still ask me! You damned fool! If I had known you were such an ungrateful person, I should have drowned you in a bucket of urine."
"Where did you steal me from?" Every question Guan Huashu asked touched the nerves of the old woman Guan.
"You are our biological child, not a stolen one."
"If you tell the truth, Guan Ping'an should be sentenced to fewer years." Guan Huashu tempted her.
"Come on, I don't believe you, you ungrateful bastard. You're so successful now, and you turn around and bite us to death. Humph, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later."
"You've abused the stolen children for so many years and never suffered retribution, so why should I? You'd better tell the truth. I still say that if you tell the truth, maybe you can get Guan Ping'an's sentence reduced."
Fifth Grandpa was also trying to persuade her at this time: "Sister-in-law, Second Brother's crime this time is serious. He needs a gun. Tell us everything you know as soon as possible. Maybe you can reduce his sentence. Nothing is more important than saving him right now."
Mrs. Guan hesitated for a moment, but was persuaded. She looked at Guan Huashu and said, "The old man brought you home from outside. At that time, the umbilical cord showed that you were only two or three days old. He didn't say where you were from, and he didn't tell me when I asked him later. I really don't know whose child you are."
"Did you know that Guan Ping'an is an enemy spy?"
"What? The old man is an enemy spy? How is that possible! He's just an old man farming at home, how could he be a spy?"
Seeing that Old Lady Guan really didn't know, Fifth Grandpa shook his head at Guan Huashu, and the three of them left Old Guan's house.
Lao Cui led the team to escort Guan back to the police station, first arranged for Suihe's dormitory, and then began to interrogate him intensively. This old man was not as easy to deal with as Zhang Zhiqing. Lao Cui and Suihe endured for four or five days. Guan could not bear Suihe's "gentle" interrogation and confessed.
He had a superior in the county government, codenamed Lone Wolf. When the People's Republic of China was just liberated, he went to work at the grassroots level and lay low. Later, he was transferred to the county government, where he stole various government secrets, developed subordinates, and looked for opportunities to cause sabotage.
This superior is hiding very deeply. He has been in Fenglin County for twenty years. No one knows how many subordinates he has developed, so there is no time to delay. The lone wolf must be arrested immediately.
The case was no longer under the control of Lao Cui, the Public Security Bureau Chief of Fenglin County. In addition, the county government had to be thoroughly investigated, so he had to report the case to his superiors. So he thought about it and decided not to go to the city. Instead, he took a train directly to the province to report the situation to his former leader.
Two days later, Lao Cui came back and held a meeting to formulate a screening and arrest plan. This operation was called Operation Wolf Hunt.
