Before Shen Changchuan could receive any instructions from his old commander, Wei Aiguo sent another message: he had met a middleman selling gold bars, and following the middleman, he found the owner of the gold bars. The owner was a young man who eventually entered the military compound.
Shen Changchuan facepalmed. Who is this? How dare they sell gold bars? "Collect photos of all the young people in the compound and have Shen Qian identify them."
Remember to do it quietly.
If the gold bars were inherited from ancestors, that's fine; at worst, you'll face disciplinary action. Otherwise, you should investigate where the gold bars came from in the first place.
In recent years, many people have been harmed because of unfounded accusations.
Therefore, Shen Changchuan didn't want to spread the word. If these gold bars were family heirlooms, he wanted to keep the matter quiet. If not…
Shen Changchuan will not show any mercy.
Over the years, his men have protected countless people and prevented countless people from absconding with the money.
He has a group of people under his command who carry out special missions.
Secretary Fang: "During the Spring Festival, these kids usually spend the holiday with their fathers in the army, and they often take group photos together."
These are all old photos; many of the children in them are now around eighteen to twenty years old, which matches the age range Wei Aiguo mentioned. Let's take them to see first; if they're not there, we'll figure something out.
Secretary Fang prepared the photos: "I'll take the photos to Shen Qian right away."
Shen Changchuan glanced at his old colleague of over twenty years, and he could guess what he was thinking.
Shen Changchuan had never seen Wei Aiguo in person. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he dared not. He feared that if he saw him, he wouldn't be able to resist recognizing him. "I'm staring at Su Zhaohai, but isn't Su Zhaohai staring at me too?"
Secretary Fang chuckled, "As the saying goes, a scholar can't reason with a soldier."
He was a scholar who had nothing to his name.
"If we need soldiers, we have soldiers; if we need supplies, he's just a sitting duck."
Ultimately, her desire to see her son prevailed. "Then let me see how Su Zhaohai just stands by and watches!"
Su Zhaohai's secretary reported that Shen Changchuan and Secretary Fang went out together by car.
Su Zhaohai looked unwell; he hadn't looked well lately. His eldest son was finished. Now he was trying to find a way to save his own life.
The fact that Shen Changchuan left by car meant that his men couldn't keep up...
Shen Changchuan drove through several alleys before another car waiting there picked him up and Secretary Fang…
Shen Changchuan and his group had arrived at the door of a house, and he hesitated to push the door open.
Suddenly, the people inside opened the door.
And that's how we met so suddenly.
Only when Wei Aiguo saw Shen Changchuan in person did he realize just how similar Song Yan had described the resemblance.
Shen Changchuan didn't feel the same way when he saw Shen Qian. The spirited man in the photo had become listless and droopy.
Secretary Fang: "This is not the true appearance of Comrade Chen... ah... Comrade Wei Aiguo." Secretary Fang almost didn't recognize him either.
For a moment, Wei Aiguo didn't know what to say, so he raised his hand in a military salute.
Shen Changchuan also solemnly returned his son's military salute, which was a sign of respect for a soldier and also a sign of his pride in seeing his son.
At the same time, Secretary Fang returned a military salute.
"Come inside! Let's finish this quickly and not waste too much time." Secretary Fang led the way into the house. He could tell that the two of them seemed a little lost.
After Secretary Fang entered the room, she took out the photos.
Wei Aiguo held the photo and carefully examined the person in it.
Shen Changchuan kept his eyes fixed on Wei Aiguo.
Wei Aiguo couldn't stand that kind of gaze, so he helplessly turned his head to look back.
Shen Changchuan's gaze remained fixed, but Wei Aiguo finally gave in and continued looking at the photos.
After looking at five photos, Wei Aiguo stopped at the sixth. "Do you have a current photo of this child?"
Secretary Fang glanced at the photo. "It's Su Rui!"
Shen Changchuan looked at Wei Aiguo and said, "He is Su Zhaohai's son."
“It’s Su Zhaohai’s son!” Wei Aiguo repeated. “Xiao Yan told me about what Su Zhaohai did to Old Zeng.”
Shen Changchuan: "That's something he did before."
Based on recent events, he may also be a hidden spy, but we currently have no evidence.
Su Zhaohai was very cautious in his work, and no one who worked with him ever managed to find any fault with him.
If it can be proven that the gold bars were sold by his family, he himself will be subject to investigation.
Wei Aiguo shook his head. "The middleman he found is nicknamed Iron Mouth."
He always charges higher fees than others for doing favors. He's known for being tight-lipped.
Because he never revealed a single thing he handled to anyone else.
He was sentenced to three years in prison for refusing to identify the seller.
Because of this incident, his reputation grew even more. He charged higher fees than others for his services, and people were more willing to work for him.
Everyone understands that even if you see it with your own eyes, it's useless without physical evidence and witnesses.
Secretary Fang: "I need to use the restroom, I'm going to relieve myself."
Shen Changchuan glanced at him but didn't say anything. Secretary Fang then made a guilty excuse, "Everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes."
Secretary Fang: I don't believe you don't want to have a few words with your son alone.
There was a moment of silence in the room; Shen Qian's face revealed nothing of his feelings at that moment.
Shen Changchuan: "Now that your wife has recognized Old Zeng as her godfather, I'll tell you about the Su family..."
Shen Changchuan recounted how Su Zhaohai had harmed Old Master Zeng and the Su family. His account was more detailed than what Song Yan knew.
He told Wei Aiguo about the recent events in Su Zhaohai's family and the fact that Su Zhaohai might be a spy.
