The group arrived in a hurry and left just as quickly, heading straight for Political Commissar Wang's office.
As soon as they entered, the head of the investigation team smiled apologetically at Xu Xinghe, "I'm so sorry, Ms. Xu, it's all a misunderstanding. We will definitely clarify the impact this has had on you."
Xu Xinghe still had a faint smile on her face, as if she didn't care at all. "Comrades, you're too serious. The rumors and gossip from the outside world mean nothing to me."
She then changed the subject, saying, "But... I've done my part for the country, and now someone is anonymously reporting and smearing me. This not only questions my innocence, but also, to some extent, questions the country's approval of donations. If other people who want to donate know about this, they might hesitate, which could affect the country's development. So I hope the investigation team can find out the truth and find the person who maliciously reported me."
It was originally just a simple slander.
However, in Xu Xinghe's words, it was elevated to the level of national righteousness.
Seeing the head of the investigation team frown slightly, she continued, "I think this is also a good opportunity for publicity. Not all so-called capitalists are bad; perhaps they just haven't found the right path yet. If today's events make the news, it might serve as a reminder to many people."
Capitalists may not have much else, but they have a lot of money.
The country lacks nothing but money!
To develop, you first need money.
Money is essential for funding to build roads, conduct research and development, and retain more talent, instead of watching them slip through our fingers.
The head of the investigation team frowned even more deeply, but a smile appeared in his eyes; this was indeed a good idea.
“Okay, we will investigate immediately and give Miss Xu an explanation.”
Seeing that the opportunity had come, Political Commissar Wang immediately spoke up, "We have also been investigating the source of the anonymous letter. Currently, Wang Zhizhi and Li Xingzhou, who arrived a few days ago, are the most suspicious."
However, Li Xingzhou is less likely to be the one.
He seems like a smart man; he wouldn't do something like this.
On the contrary, Wang Zhizhi is not very bright and her eyes are full of calculation.
Political Commissar Wang disliked her from the first time he met her.
Seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls are at the prime of their youth, and should be innocent and kind. But the other person's eyes were not pure; instead, they seemed more like those of a shrewd, calculating older man in his forties or fifties.
The team leader immediately slammed his hand on the table, "Then what are we waiting for? Call those two over!"
After Xu Xinghe finished speaking, she sat quietly to the side and listened.
Jiang Linchuan handed her a cup of hot tea at some point, and she took it and sipped it slowly, warming her body which had been a little chilly.
The crowd outside had not yet dispersed and was still discussing the matter enthusiastically.
"What's going on? It looks like something good is happening."
“I think so too. Political Commissar Wang is grinning so hard his gums are showing.”
"Could it be that Xu Xinghe isn't a capitalist's daughter at all?"
"They're here! Someone's coming!"
An investigator walked into the crowd and shouted, "Who is Wang Zhizhi?"
Wang Zhizhi, standing in the crowd, stiffened and lowered her head, intending to leave from the other side.
She didn't know what she was afraid of, but the bad feeling in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
If we don't run now, something absolutely terrible will happen.
Wang Chunmei happened to be right next to her. Upon hearing this, she immediately reached out and tightly gripped Wang Zhizhi's wrist, saying, "She's right here!"
Wang Zhizhi was taken away in full view of everyone.
The investigators then went to the hospital and found Li Xingzhou.
The two arrived at the office.
Seeing Xu Xinghe's beaming smile, Wang Zhizhi's last shred of hope vanished completely.
They know they did it!
But Xu Xinghe was actually unharmed!
Why is this happening?
The head of the investigation team picked up the letter of complaint. "Wang Zhizhi, did you write this anonymous letter of complaint? Don't lie. We have plenty of ways to make you tell the truth. I'm sure you don't want to experience this."
Wang Zhizhi's body trembled uncontrollably. It was because she had lived a lifetime longer than others that she knew how terrifying the people in charge of investigating capitalists were!
They may not physically harm you, but the mental torture is far more terrifying than the physical torture!
"This...this wasn't written by me!" Wang Zhizhi bit her lip tightly, refusing to admit it no matter what.
Anyway, she wrote it with her left hand, and no one saw her deliver the letter.
As long as they stubbornly refuse to admit it, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Li Xingzhou stood to the side, his eyes behind his glasses calm and undisturbed.
He has a way of avoiding getting involved himself.
That's why he didn't say anything when he heard about Xu Xinghe, the capitalist's daughter.
He wanted to find the most suitable time to stand by Xu Xinghe's side again.
Just like Xu Mingli did back then, he took advantage of Xu Xinghe's fear and pain to become her support.
Only by becoming the other party's lifeline can one increase their value and the chances of acquiring the Xu family's assets.
"Since you won't admit it, then we'll have to resort to other methods! The nation's heroes cannot be slandered; there must be an explanation!"
With a wave of his hand, the team leader immediately sent two members of the investigation team to step forward and grab Wang Zhizhi from the left and right, intending to forcibly take her away.
Wang Zhizhi struggled desperately, her fear contorting her features, completely erasing any remaining trace of her delicate beauty, leaving only ugliness.
"Why are you arresting me! Xu Xinghe is clearly a capitalist's daughter, why don't you arrest her! I know, you must have been bribed by her!"
Xu Xinghe sighed, took out the red certificate, and gently stroked the gold lettering on it with her fingers. Her eyes were filled with extreme disappointment. "Zhizhi, I really didn't expect you to do such a thing. Before I came here, I had already donated all of the Xu family's assets. This is a certificate issued to me by the state, so I am not a capitalist's daughter. My current status is also that of a poor peasant."
"How is this possible!" Wang Zhizhi's eyes widened in disbelief. "You couldn't have donated all that money!"
Xu Xinghe donated part of his savings, which he obtained from a bank.
And those antiques are all things that the Xu family openly owns.
Xu Xinghe's donation was not arbitrary; it was carefully calculated to ensure that outsiders could investigate the amount.
As for what was inside that Western-style building, no one knew.
Xu Xinghe stood up and came to Wang Zhizhi. She was smiling, but to outsiders, even her dimples were filled with bitterness. "Zhizhi, I've always considered you a friend. I could understand why you didn't come to see me when my parents passed away, but why did you write a letter to harm me?"
"Zhizhi, you really—have disappointed me so much."
Xu Xinghe turned to the side, pretending to wipe the corner of her eye, "From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other anymore, and we will no longer be friends."
