She looked at her best friend, whose eyes were red, and walked over to give Jiang Yuping a gentle hug.
"Yu Ping, what exactly happened?"
“Wei Hong, our Lao Qiu---he-he--”
"What's wrong with your husband, Lao Qiu?"
"Never mind, you'll find out later. But Wei Hong, he's really wronged. He really didn't do anything wrong. This is so unfair to him. Back in the early days after liberation, he was just an ignorant teenager."
Wei Hong was completely confused and frowned as she asked:
"Yu Ping, what are you saying? I really don't understand."
Jiang Yuping sighed:
"Wei Hong, don't ask me anything anymore. I feel very tired and I need to be alone for a while."
Wei Hong was also very understanding and knew that her best friend's family had encountered a major problem.
She gently patted Jiang Yuping on the back, then positioned the oscillating fan and blew it towards Jiang Yuping before silently leaving the office.
In her opinion, Qiu Jingwen must be hiding a secret, but Jiang Yuping is unwilling to tell her.
After Wei Hong left, Jiang Yuping lay on the table, buried her head in her arms, and burst into tears.
"Dr. Jiang, are you there?"
A woman's voice sounded from outside the door.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuping immediately raised her head.
She wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, then replied:
"Yes, please come in."
Although the voice sounded somewhat familiar, Jiang Yuping couldn't immediately place it.
Chen Youlan pushed the door open and came in.
When she saw that Jiang Yuping's eyes were a little red, she knew that Jiang Yuping had just been crying.
"Dr. Jiang, is something wrong at home?"
She looked directly at Jiang Yuping and asked.
Jiang Yuping knew that Chen Youlan had previously worked underground, so she smiled:
"Director Chen, you should know by now, our Lao Qiu---he---".
In Jiang Yuping's mind, Chen Youlan was Zhou Huaihai's lover, and Zhou Huaihai was the top leader of the Hongqi Factory, a veteran who had participated in the Huaihai Campaign, and his administrative rank was one level higher than that of Deputy Director Shao Jian. Although she knew that Zhou Huaihai had not participated in the investigation team formed by the public security organs, Jiang Yuping felt that Zhou Huaihai should know more about the case, and as a veteran revolutionary, Chen Youlan might share what Zhou Huaihai knew with her when he got home.
Based on this understanding and reasoning, Jiang Yuping believed that Chen Youlan in front of her should know that the investigation team had long suspected her husband, Qiu Jingwen.
Chen Youlan was somewhat confused.
"Dr. Jiang, what's wrong with your husband, Lao Qiu?"
Jiang Yuping spoke frankly:
"Director Chen, I don't want to hide it from you anymore. Our Lao Qiu, he was taken away by Shao Jian."
This news came as a complete surprise to Chen Youlan.
She stared at Jiang Yuping in astonishment, remaining silent for a long time.
