Fu Wanning shouted at their retreating figures, "Go ahead and search, but don't you dare stuff any banned books into my room. Frame someone and that's an even bigger crime. Just look at the Jian family, the son-in-law of the Zhao family, one of the five great families in Beijing. Such a large family, instead of doing good deeds, they used some foreign documents to frame others. Now their whole family has been wiped out, their future ruined, their family destroyed, they've truly courted death!"
Upon hearing these words, the members of the Pigeon Tail Society immediately became anxious. They were just subordinates, and it seemed unnecessary for them to risk their lives for Xie Jiaming.
After rummaging through everything, they found nothing of value except a few changes of clothes and some worthless odds and ends. They even lifted the entire bed, but still couldn't find a single 'dirty' item.
Fu Wanning's room looked clean, even though it was their own home. Whether someone is pampered or not can be seen from the details, the furnishings, and even their clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics. But Fu Wanning had none of these. She even used up a bottle of snow cream, reluctant to throw it away. This shows how hard her life was in the Pei family.
It wasn't that they sympathized with Fu Wanning, but rather that during their search, they found a notification slip in a drawer. It was a reply from a special department, containing no specific content, only stating that their report had been received. It also bore the special department's mysterious seal, which could not be forged.
In other words, Fu Wanning has become involved with special departments and is a person they are closely monitoring. Taking action against Fu Wanning at this time would be like pulling the hair out of a tiger's head.
Although they didn't know the details of Fu Wanning's report, they could guess that it might be related to the Pei family.
As for the advanced voice recorders and cameras, could they actually have been provided by special departments? Given the abundance of advanced equipment across the country, it's highly likely that only special departments possess such equipment.
At this point, they couldn't help but wonder if Fu Wanning was a spy planted by a special department among the people.
Is it specifically for handling matters for special departments?
Upon realizing this possibility, the subordinates' attitude towards Fu Wanning instantly changed, becoming obsequious and polite, and extremely cautious.
Xie Jiaming, completely unaware that his subordinates had 'betrayed' him, feigned a businesslike attitude and asked, "So, did you find anything?"
Even if they didn't find anything, he had a backup plan. This was the usual practice that the Dove Tail Society tacitly approved. They would accuse you of a crime even if you didn't say anything. Generally, foreign language books that were banned determined life and death.
The subordinates said in unison, "Captain Xie, we've searched the entire room, but we couldn't find it..."
"Impossible! It's definitely there!" Pei Guangzong said angrily in disbelief. "Search carefully again. If it's not in the room, it must be in another room."
The subordinates said impatiently, "Do you mean your father-in-law and mother-in-law's room? Or your brother-in-law's or nephews and nieces' rooms? If not, then not. Captain, I think this Comrade Fu is innocent. It's just someone taking revenge, making up a complete fabrication to frame that young girl. Captain, Comrade Fu might be attracting attention, so let's not cause any trouble."
Xie Jiaming couldn't understand his subordinates' strange reaction. As if bewitched, they spoke up for Fu Wanning, "Have you all gone too far? Do I need you to remind me what to do? Arrest her and take her to the Pigeon Tail Society immediately, that's an order!"
In front of Fu Wanning, her subordinates all spoke righteously, "That won't do. We must be fair and just. We can't arrest people without evidence."
"Captain, if you have a personal grudge against someone, don't bring it into official business. If you want to get yourself killed, don't drag us down with you. I still have a family to support."
"It's the captain. Everyone knows your wife and Cui Hailu are best friends. Cui Hailu harbors such resentment towards Comrade Fu. We can't rule out the possibility that they maliciously reported him."
"We refuse to go along with this. If we have to, we'll just quit. We're just temporary workers anyway..."
Compared to life and future prospects, temporary work seems insignificant. Besides, the pigeon-tailed organization I work for is too stingy, the temporary salary is low, and I often offend people. I wouldn't even know if I was killed in retaliation one day.
