"Heroine, you really don't stand a great chance!" Lin Zhengjun said.

Zhu Lin's clear and bright eyes dimmed immediately, and she said with disappointment, "If you think so too, I'm definitely not going to make it..."

Lin Zhengjun laughed dumbly: "Sister Zhu Lin, who gets to play the leading role from the beginning? Who doesn't play supporting roles for a few years?"

"You mean playing a supporting role? That Wei Hong..." Zhu Lin's eyes lit up again.

Lin Zhengjun said: "Yes, this character has experienced many ups and downs and has a complicated heart. It is actually very easy to stand out. You can start with a supporting role and learn slowly!"

“That’s a good idea!”

"Just prepare a self-recommendation document and submit it directly to the security guard. Ask him to pass it on to the crew. Just say that you are my friend and that the security guard is my loyal reader and will help submit it."

"Okay, thank you Zhengjun for your guidance!" Zhu Lin showed gratitude on her face and went home excitedly to prepare her resume.

Zhao Xiangrong smiled and said, "Zhu Lin does have a good image and good temperament, she should be an actress! It's a pity that I'm away from the drama stage, otherwise, I would help her!"

Lin Zhengjun asked: "Grandma, what exactly is your historical problem? I will try to help you solve it."

"It's difficult, it's really difficult,"

Zhao Xiangrong shook her head bitterly, wanting to say something but stopping herself: "My problem involves an unsolved case before liberation, which is difficult to investigate clearly. When classifying my class status, the organization didn't kill me with one blow, but I was definitely alienated by the organization..."

"What else do you have to hide from Zhengjun?"

Zhou Shoucheng sighed, "To put it simply, your grandmother used her identity as a drama actress as a cover to do intelligence work for our party on the hidden front. She established an underground communication station and was responsible for delivering the military funds and funds collected by overseas Chinese to the base. Once, she handed the two small yellow croakers she collected to another comrade on the hidden front of our party and asked him to pass them on to the organization, but this comrade suddenly disappeared. No one saw him alive or dead, so the gold bars were naturally not delivered... At that time, the organization still trusted your grandmother very much. But the situation was tense in the past few years, and everyone exposed each other's shortcomings. Some people pointed out that it was your grandmother who swallowed the two gold bars, and even suspected that your grandmother was an enemy spy..."

Lin Zhengjun also felt that this matter was difficult to handle, but he still smiled and comforted her: "Grandma, don't lose heart, we will definitely find out..."

As the family was chatting, a postman in a green uniform came to the yard and said, "Professor Zhou Shoucheng, there is a telegram for you from Hong Kong!"

"It must be a telegram from the Tang family!"

Zhou Shoucheng's face lit up immediately, and he said, "After the news of the removal of the hat was confirmed a few days ago, I sent a telegram to the Tang family to tell them about this happy event..."

The whole family had red eyes and mixed emotions.

It has been five years since Tang Ningcheng and Zhou Qiuping fled to Hong Kong, and there has been no correspondence or news at all.

Even the news of their escape to Hong Kong was not told to them. It was only after the incident was exposed that the organization conveyed the news.

Now that we can finally get in touch, one can imagine the excitement and anticipation in everyone’s hearts.

Zhou Shoucheng quickly signed the receipt and took the envelope.

His hands couldn't stop shaking slightly, as if that thin telegram weighed a thousand pounds!

"hiss!"

Zhou Shoucheng finally tore open the envelope and took out the telegram with the text.

His eyes quickly scanned the area, and then he sat down on the broken sofa, stunned, with fear and worry written all over his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that he looked unusual, Zhao Xiangrong asked hurriedly.

Zhou Shoucheng seemed to have no strength to speak and handed the telegram to Zhao Xiangrong.

After reading it, Zhao Xiangrong couldn't believe it and said, "How could this be? This, this is too weird!"

Tang Xiaofu picked up the telegram, read it for a few seconds, and suddenly she lay in Lin Zhengjun's arms and started crying, saying, "Is anything going to happen to my parents? Wuuuu, Zhengjun, what should I do!"

"Something happened? How is that possible!" Lin Zhengjun picked up the telegram and started reading it.

The telegram was replied by Tang Xiaofu's grandfather Tang Baiqing, in a semi-classical and semi-vernacular style with the elegance of an old-fashioned scholar.

The gist of it was that in the past few years, he had never seen Tang Ningcheng and his wife, nor had he ever heard of them coming to Hong Kong.

After receiving Zhou Shoucheng's telegram, he was also very anxious. He had already placed an advertisement in the newspaper and contacted the Hong Kong Island Police, Baoan officials, and Hong Kong Island underground societies, asking them to help find him, but there is still no news...

At that time, the cost of telegrams was very expensive, called translation fees, three cents per word, and this telegram had several hundred words.

Of course, to the wealthy Tang family, this amount of money is nothing.

"After I started working at the Hong Kong Office, I also heard some stories about people escaping to Hong Kong from Baoan."

Zhao Xiangrong wiped the tears from her eyes, stared at the ceiling, and said, "It has been there for 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is like a barometer of domestic policies. When the domestic situation is stable and the economy recovers, fewer people flee to Hong Kong at the border. When the domestic situation is turbulent, such as the forced peasants to join the collective in 1957 and the three years of natural disasters and famine, people at the border will flee."

"For a long time, escaping to Hong Kong was considered treason and was punishable by severe punishment. Barbed wire and police dogs were used to prevent people from escaping to Hong Kong. Border police would shoot anyone who tried to escape. People in Bao'an called escaping to Hong Kong by water 'duzu', borrowing a term from chess, meaning that there is no return... If they had been shot that day, they would have been killed and their bodies eaten by fish..."

"Ga!" Zhou Shoucheng almost fainted.

Tang Xiaofu burst into tears: "Wow, being eaten by a fish, this is too tragic!"

Lin Zhengjun was speechless and said helplessly: "Grandma, please stop scaring yourself. Look, my grandpa is about to faint."

"I am worried..." Zhao Xiangrong sighed.

Lin Zhengjun said: "Believe me, Xiaofu's parents will be fine!"

"Why?" Zhao Xiangrong asked curiously.

Tang Xiaofu said: "Then why hasn't my grandfather seen them? As long as my parents are alive, they will definitely go to my grandfather to seek refuge with them!"

"If your parents go looking for him, will they definitely see him?"

Lin Zhengjun said: "The Tang family is a big family. Your grandfather Tang Baiqing has many wives and concubines and many children. He is old and may not take care of specific affairs. It is normal for him to be sidelined!"

In 1841, Britain took over Hong Kong and issued a notice: British law governs the British; the Chinese are governed by Chinese law.

To be precise, it was in accordance with the "Great Qing Laws" and the continuation of the "customs" of the Qing Dynasty that Chinese people could marry and take concubines. The policy of "governing Chinese people with Chinese laws" existed for a long time.

It was not until 1971 that Hong Kong promulgated and passed the Marriage Reform Ordinance and implemented the monogamy law.

Therefore, Tang Baiqing, like many wealthy old men of his time, married many wives. Before that, even ordinary citizens might have two wives.

Lin Zhengjun continued to analyze: "Also, your grandfather is not young anymore, the descendants of the Tang family must be waiting for an opportunity to fight for the family power and property!"

"Your grandmother has no status in the Tang family. Your father grew up in Bao'an and has a distant relationship with the Tang family. In the eyes of the Tang family's descendants, he is just a poor man who suddenly appeared to fight for the family property. They definitely don't want him to meet Mr. Tang!"

When everyone heard this, they all felt it made sense.
