Chapter 315 Wealth
Jingshi is not a charity. Even if you have money, you won't give it away for free.
"I don't know, but since I can get this money..." Aunt Zhang was about to answer.
But Mrs. Wen spoke again boldly, her eyes still a little embarrassed because of what outsiders had just said.
"We just saw Mrs. Cai contacting someone outside. She said she wanted to get some money to put some things in the Huo family. My personal guess is...it might be an enemy spy."
When these words were spoken, Cui Shanshan took a breath, but her face was obviously excited. She clenched her fingers into fists, wishing she could join the action right now.
Aunt Zhang grabbed her granddaughter's hand and forcibly took her away.
There are some things that people like them are not suitable to listen to. What if they get involved?
Several young comrades looked at each other in confusion and assigned one of them to report.
"Tell me." Huo Jinzhi brought Mrs. Wen into the room.
Mrs. Wen described the situation vividly, and the expressions of the young comrades kept changing, which was very exciting to watch.
Huo Jinzhi kept his eyelids down and remained silent from beginning to end.
"The Huo family will never do anything to harm the country. In our hearts, the interests of the country always come before our own. I will report this matter to the higher-ups."
After waiting for a moment, Huo Jinzhi spoke in a deep voice.
His tone was calm, yet filled with an irresistible firmness. His dark eyes did not show any sense of grievance of being wronged, only a passion to serve his country.
Even if they are slandered, no one can suppress their passion for serving the country.
"Okay." Meng Lin, who was following him, nodded in agreement.
This matter is of great importance. The enemy spies who dared to frame the Huo family might be in the same group as those who secretly reported them. If we can find evidence, we might be able to clear their name.
Huo Jinzhi originally said that he wanted to go on the mission because he didn't want Chen Zhuyi to worry too much, but now, he can't help but worry.
The instructions from above came quickly, asking them to continue contact. Huo Jinzhi didn't have to rush back and should resolve the situation first.
"If Mrs. Cai is locked up, it will be easier for us to investigate some things." Huo Jinzhi had people use some means of forcing a confession that day.
This time is different from later times. Many things are not perfect yet. Layer by layer of means, the skin of this old thing can be peeled off.
Mrs. Cai immediately told everyone what had happened to her, including asking someone for a few hundred yuan.
Huo Jinzhi was so angry at such a greedy, ignorant, short-sighted fool that he wanted to punch her twice, but he took a deep breath and endured it.
"I just want to do something to make money. Why do you say I'm collaborating with the enemy?" Mrs. Cai said angrily with red eyes, looking as if she knew nothing wrong.
Several comrades who were conducting the investigation looked at Huo Jinzhi, unsure whether this was a conspiracy they had arranged in advance.
"Tomorrow, you go over there as usual and lure the snake out of its hole. You don't have to go back until the matter is resolved."
"If you do it well, you'll be considered a meritorious servant while serving your sentence. At least your punishment will be lighter. If you can't even do this, the merits of three generations of your family will be canceled!"
Huo Jinzhi cruelly threw the truth in front of Mrs. Cai in a cold voice.
Although there is some exaggeration in it, it is the most fatal thing for an old woman.
Isn’t the purpose of living a lifetime to ensure that your descendants will be successful?
If she ruined the future of her own children with her own hands...
Mrs. Cai could already imagine how those ancestors would scold her after she passed away!
"I will definitely cooperate with you! I will definitely cooperate with you!" Mrs. Cai was almost swearing.
When Huo Jinzhi finished his work and returned, he saw the figure illuminated by the warm light. Due to their long-term familiarity, his steps became much faster.
"Why are you back?" Huo Jinzhi changed his outward indifference and hid the fatigue in his heart very well.
Chen Zhu hugged him as soon as she turned around, not caring about the icy atmosphere, her eyes curved: "Jinhua told me a little about the situation, and when Grandma Wen didn't come over, I guessed that something had changed."
As soon as she approached the big tree, these aunts started talking at once and explained everything to her. Only after she knew that Huo Jinzhi had returned did she finally feel relieved.
"It's okay. You've worked hard during this period. It's all my fault. I should have let you rest a long time ago."
Huo Jinzhi held Chen Zhuyi's small hand, and there was a hint of guilt in his tone.
Pregnant women are basically the treasure of the family and need to have a good rest. Only Chen Zhuyi has to help solve problems at home while pregnant.
Aunt Zhang also said that they had made rubbings of many ancient paintings by famous people in advance. Mr. Huo was so old and didn't have any special hobbies.
The few authentic works that are left in my hands were also obtained through my own love for the art. The most senior leader also knew about it and helped to introduce it to me.
But I didn't expect that someone would use these trivial matters as a weapon to wipe out all the people in the Huo family.
Just thinking of this, Huo Jinzhi's black eyes became a little cold. And the enemy spies were staring at the Huo family, weren't they just trying to dishearten the heroes?
But during the Long March, they had already completely abandoned themselves, and now only a small part of themselves survived.
Whenever there is a conflict between individuals and the country, they can be abandoned!
"I'm not tired, you look exhausted. Take a break. Can you tell me what happened?"
Chen Zhuyi pulled Huo Jinzhi back to the room. Neither of them even had an appetite to eat. Only by staying together could they calm the restlessness in their hearts during this period.
"Of course...it's just that it's a bit inconvenient." Huo Jinzhi looked at the woman with curved eyebrows in front of him and felt that it was difficult to speak.
The root cause of the Huo family's disaster was the equipment sent by Chen Zhuyi.
The advanced core chip is beyond the reach of countless people. Even the lighthouse is eyeing it covetously. The enemy's infiltration power is far more terrifying than they can imagine!
Generally speaking, if something is left there and no one touches it, even if it is handed over to an individual later, few people are willing to hand it over to the country.
A cutting-edge technology represents endless wealth.
Someone dismantled the machine, and after Mr. Ye announced that the thing was given to them, those old guys who took research as their life immediately discovered the problem.
Even some minor flaws are checked clearly.
After finding the problem, they jointly reported it, and even the person at the top was alarmed. This time, it should be a big catastrophe for the country.
If they could clean out the termites, they would be safer in the future. The Huo family was involved simply because someone was afraid that Chen Zhu would repeatedly produce cutting-edge materials.
