Chapter 290 Persuasion



However, obtaining certain unknown information in advance makes them more successful and poses a greater threat to the country.

Therefore, Shen Mu Ning largely agreed with their guesses.

She also planned to start with the military and political officials in Liaoning Province to find out if there were any suspicious individuals among them.

Yan Bin and Ji Heng carefully read through the parts pointed out by Shen Mu Ning and had to admit that it was indeed a breakthrough.

The two nodded subconsciously, agreeing:

"Based on the testimonies of these two individuals and the actions of other members, their ability to successfully carry out sabotage multiple times is indeed due to the accuracy of the information, which also confirms their suspicions."

"However, you won't be able to meet the important military and political figures in Liaoning Province, Little Shen!"

Ji Heng was the first to react, questioning her that if she couldn't even see the person, she couldn't talk about anything else.

However, he didn't notice Yan Bin's hesitant expression, which clearly indicated that Shen Mu Ning had a powerful backer—Sun Wu.

Sure enough, the next second, Shen Mu Ning brought up her adoptive grandfather.

"Hehe, Political Commissar Ji is right. I am indeed of low status, but I still have my maternal grandfather, don't I?"

"The Commander-in-Chief of the Lingbei Military Region has found his long-lost relatives. It wouldn't be too much to hold a family reunion banquet, would it?"

To be honest, in the context of the 1970s, even hosting a banquet was a risky move that would be labeled as capitalist.

But Sun Tzu rose from humble beginnings and secured his position as commander-in-chief through his own abilities.

In addition, his only relative was his wife, Si Mengyu, and his father-in-law's family was also sensible and never caused him any trouble.

Of course, most importantly, he is quite old but has no children, and Shen Mu Ning is also alone, and she is a girl.

He's going to hold a family reunion banquet; surely no one will be so foolish as to report him.

At the banquet hosted by the Commander-in-Chief of the Lingbei Military Region, important figures from all walks of life in Lingbei would likely give him face and attend.

Some people who don't meet the requirements are probably putting in all their effort and fighting tooth and nail to get in.

With that, it was a certainty that Shen Mu Ning would meet these people.

Now, the only thing that is uncertain is the state of her perception.

To this, Shen Mu Ning could only say:

"Uncle Yan, how do you think I discovered Wang Cheng's existence?"

Although she discovered Wang Cheng because he was spying on her, she then used her mental power to lock onto him.

But her perception of good and evil is simply a function of mental power.

That's not entirely wrong, is it? Shen Mu Ning affirmed her own statement in her heart.

Yan Bin, on the other side, nodded as if he understood but didn't quite believe her.

He didn't say anything more, but waved his hand, telling Shen Mu Ning to sit down first.

"Xiao Shen, play for a while, let's talk about it."

Having said that, she seemed determined to have a long talk with Ji Heng, regardless of whether she was in trouble.

At this point, Shen Mu Ning knew that they were starting to waver, so she added fuel to the fire:

"Actually, even if I fail this time, I won't lose anything. It's just that I'll be noticed by them and put on their assassination list."

With her skills and Sun Wu's influence, she certainly won't be the one delivering the food.

The more people come, the more information we can glean, and the greater the chance of finding a new breakthrough!

Moreover, if this trick doesn't work, we still have backup plans.

"If this bait isn't working, then let's try something different!"

Shen Mu Ning's words were meaningful. Although she didn't say it explicitly, all three of them knew that this new bait was made in the laboratory.

However, fishing with this bait requires a certain amount of patience, unlike Shen Mu Ning's straightforward method of casting a net.

Therefore, trusting Shen Mu Ning and having a way out, Yan Bin and Ji Heng temporarily passed this test.

However, the key to the plan's success lies with Sun Tzu.

Yan Bin and Ji Heng were extremely busy compiling information on the case of trafficking in cultural relics and preparing to close the case.

Shen Mu Ning, carrying handwritten letters from Yan Bin and Ji Heng, once again made her way to Liaoning Province.

The military vehicle from the Jilin Provincial Military Region took him all the way to Yang City before returning.

From then on, she had no choice but to walk the rest of the road alone, enduring hardship.

Following the map provided by Yan Bin, Shen Mu Ning traveled through mountains and rivers, enduring hardships (not really), and arrived at Yangshi Military Region with a radiant face.

This time, she passed by her home—the Liaoning Provincial Military Region—and went straight in.

Oh no, she wanted to go in but was stopped at the door.

When the soldiers on guard saw Shen Mu Ning carrying a suitcase and wearing a cotton long-sleeved shirt and trousers, they stopped her immediately.

"Comrade, please stop!"

Seeing that she obediently stopped, he then relaxed his serious expression and asked:

"Hello comrade, how can I help you?"

"I'm here to visit relatives." Indeed, visiting Sun Wu was her way of visiting relatives, and Shen Mu Ning answered without a hint of guilt.

Jiang Lei, who was used to seeing military families visiting their relatives, did not notice anything unusual and simply followed the normal procedures for the inspection.

"Comrade, please show your identification."

Shen Mu Ning, who was completely unfamiliar with the procedures for visiting relatives in the military, had no choice but to follow his orders.

While taking out her ID from her spatial storage, she thought to herself: Luckily, she always kept her important things in her spatial storage, otherwise she would be completely lost right now.

She never expected that the identification she submitted would not only fail to get her into the military region, but would instead become her death warrant.

Because the moment Jiang Lei saw her name, he quickly made a hand gesture.

Within a second, he raised the gun in his hand and aimed it at Shen Mu Ning.

Now, Shen Mu Ning, who was being held at gunpoint and even had a sniper rifle aimed at her head, was dumbfounded.

All she did was provide her identification, so how did things turn out like this?

Unable to figure out what was going on, Shen Mu Ning stood still, looking at Jiang Lei with a puzzled expression, as if questioning him about why he had done this.

Because she was confident in her excellent skills and believed she could still escape even when under gunfire, she remained calm and composed. However, the soldiers didn't see it that way.

They just thought Shen Mu Ning was a tough nut to crack, that she didn't even take being held at gunpoint seriously.

So, with utmost care, he knocked the luggage from her hands and scolded her:

"Hands behind your head and squats down!"

Seeing that people were serious, Shen Mu Ning felt confused and frustrated, but she had no choice but to do as they said.

She didn't want to perform an extreme skill of dodging bullets in public.

Only after he was 'subdued' by Jiang Lei and the others could he ask expressionlessly:

"I'm not a comrade, I really came here to visit relatives, why are you kidnapping me?"

Now that Jiang Lei was less nervous, he answered her question:

"You're not even on the recent family visitation list, so what are you pretending for?"

It turns out that military dependents need to apply and register in advance to visit their families, and can only go to the military base after the relevant procedures are completed.

The list of people coming to visit relatives recently had already been distributed to the guards, and Jiang Lei and the others knew it by heart. How could they let her in!
