Chapter 118 The Moon of Yesteryear 118
Of course, Shen Quezhi's background had to be investigated beforehand, and the fact that he was able to join the Party proved that his background was not problematic.
This is why Xie Ning has been holding back; she can't doubt Shen Quezhi just because he has expressed very subtle feelings for her, and then stop Wu Li and Shen Quezhi's wedding.
If Shen Quezhi has no problems, she will become the target of public criticism.
However, she would not overlook any potential risks. Firstly, she felt that her life was still quite valuable, and the secrets she was guarding were also very important. Secondly, as someone working in a classified unit, although Wu Li could marry someone from outside the unit, there were two sets of checks, the secret one of which was unknown to her.
Based on this, Xie Ning reported his suspicions about the two coincidences. However, communication was not so advanced at the time, and with war raging everywhere, it was very difficult to investigate a person thoroughly.
Qin Xuan's arrival raised a hint of suspicion.
Xie Ning blew out the oil lamp, plunging the room into darkness. A fox will always show its tail eventually, and Qin Xuan was the bait. Otherwise, Qin Xuan, a weak woman with bound feet, might have been able to bravely walk to Yan An, but the probability was too small.
Not to mention, by chance, he overheard news about Shen Quezhi.
After Xie Ning told Qin Xuan to keep a low profile, Qin Xuan carried it out seriously. She didn't do much, but went to work at the orphanage as arranged by the resettlement office, and did some needlework in her spare time to earn extra money.
Just as Xie Ning was waiting to see what would happen next, Xu He arrived at her door.
"What happened? Did something happen at the factory?"
Xie Ning usually works at the arsenal, where he is responsible for design, while Xu He works at the arsenal, which is responsible for production. Xie Ning usually goes to the arsenal to hand over tasks to Xu He.
Xu He followed Xie Ning into the study, while the simple-minded boy outside ran to the back of the study and squatted down to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
“Something happened at the factory recently.” Xu He said with a serious expression. “We discovered that the factory’s production process has been leaked. Of course, because we separate the parts, the manufacturing areas for key parts and some basic parts are not in the same place, and... therefore, the key secrets have not been leaked.”
But the mere leak of the production process is already a serious matter, indicating that there is a traitor among them.
Xie Ning mentally reviewed many candidates, then crossed them all out, before asking Xu He, "Do you have any candidates you suspect?"
Xu He shook his head. "The management at the arsenal is very strict. In theory, there should be absolutely no possibility of a leak. I only found out about the production process leak after I was called in for a talk with my superiors."
In truth, this was his dereliction of duty.
"This happened so suddenly, I can't think of anyone who could have caused the leak."
Xie Ning had suspected Wu Li for a moment, but she quickly dismissed her suspicions. Unlike the arsenal jointly built by the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang, Wu Li was not in charge of production here. Instead, she assisted Xie Ning in the work of the arsenal and was not familiar with the production process of this arsenal.
Shen Quezhi only works at a hospital. It's possible that he secretly stole the pharmaceutical factory's secrets, but given his status, he wouldn't have access to the arms factory, not even through Wu Li.
After the two got married, she consciously moved Wu Li's work away from the confidential center.
Although she felt her suspicions were unfounded, Xie Ning still voiced her thoughts, including the suspicions Qin Xuan had previously reported about Shen Quezhi, wondering if there was anything she had overlooked due to a lack of thoroughness.
