Xu Xiangyang sat in his office chair, pondering the news he had heard.
With so many people arrested, he had no idea what was going on with Qian Wenqing.
These days, it's really too much trouble not having a cell phone or something.
Moreover, even installing a telephone is difficult, and there are no landlines available.
He sighed, then stood up to leave.
At that moment, Guan Qilin walked in from outside.
"Where are you going?" he asked as he saw Xu Xiangyang about to leave.
"Nothing, just going out for a bit, what's up?" Xu Xiangyang looked at him, wondering what this person wanted to do.
Guan Qilin glanced at the doorway before walking over and saying, "People from the Provincial Propaganda Department are here. They say they want to investigate you. What happened?"
He looked nervous, wondering what Xu Xiangyang had done that someone wanted to take him away.
So, he quickly volunteered to come over and talk to her first.
Xu Xiangyang was startled when he heard this, and then looked outside. Sure enough, there were several people standing not far away, staring at them with unfriendly expressions.
He didn't know what was going on either. Could it be that Qian Wenqing had been arrested?
But if that were the case, they wouldn't expose themselves.
It wasn't that he was arrogant and thought Qian Wenqing wouldn't betray him. It's just that last time, even after being beaten so badly, Qian Wenqing still didn't confess.
Therefore, he was certain that this time, it was definitely not Qian Wenqing who did it.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I don't know. Since you've asked me, I'll go and make the trip. It's probably just a misunderstanding, it's nothing."
That's what he said, but he was actually quite uneasy inside.
However, escaping is impossible now; it would only cause trouble for my family.
It's best to just go along obediently. If there really is a problem, you won't be caught so easily.
At worst, we can escape using spatial means, but that's the worst-case scenario.
However, if there's no problem and it's all a misunderstanding, then there's absolutely no need to run away.
Guan Qilin was surprised that he was so calm; he himself had been frightened just now.
However, since we have a choice, it's definitely better to go and check things out first.
"Alright then, let's go out together." He looked nervous as he followed Xu Xiangyang out.
In contrast, Xu Xiangyang looked completely indifferent, as if he could do whatever he wanted.
"Are you Xu Xiangyang?" the leader asked with an unfriendly expression.
Xu Xiangyang nodded. "I am Xu Xiangyang."
Upon hearing this, the group immediately restrained him.
Xu Xiangyang frowned and said, "Everyone, I'm not guilty, am I? Since I've come out, it's because I wanted to cooperate with your investigation. Is this really necessary?"
He wanted to go with the others to investigate the situation, not to be arrested and go to jail.
The group looked at each other, but neither let go.
Guan Qilin, standing nearby, chimed in to smooth things over, "That's right, comrades. Director Xu knew the situation and still came out to cooperate, so he definitely didn't want to run away. Let's give him some face, after all, this matter hasn't been confirmed yet, has it?"
Upon hearing his words, the leader's expression softened slightly, and he then signaled the others to let go.
Regardless, Xu Xiangyang did indeed come out to cooperate.
They wouldn't allow anyone to run away.
"Let's go quickly," the man urged.
The others surrounded Xu Xiangyang, afraid that he would run away.
At this moment, many people in the factory came out to see what was going on, and for a while they were all discussing what Xu Xiangyang had done, that he had actually been taken away by someone.
Guan Qilin quickly sent people back to work and then called a meeting with several leading cadres.
Xu Xiangyang then sat in a jeep, with other people sitting around him.
The others sat in the back of the truck, looking like they were arresting a very important criminal.
At the same time, he was also worried about what would happen to his family. Would they also be arrested and detained?
The thought that Wang Zhongshan and his wife were both in their sixties and still going through all this trouble made him feel quite uncomfortable.
There are two younger brothers who are not even two years old yet. They must be terrified!
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. What was all this about?
Who on earth is behind this?!
...
"What are you doing!" Wang Zhongshan's heart skipped a beat when he saw a large group of people suddenly enter his house.
These days, everyone has a tough time, and I only witnessed this kind of thing happening in someone else's home.
Such situations are common, and the surrounding neighbors also heard the commotion and stood at the door watching the excitement.
The family was in complete chaos, and Xu Guangtian was still at work, so he didn't go home at all.
Wang Xiumin held her two terrified children, unsure of what to do. Normally a lively and energetic person, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine upon seeing these people.
"We're from the provincial propaganda department, conducting a routine inspection! You all stay in the yard and don't move!" At the leader's command, the others entered the house and began searching.
Wang Xiumin was terrified and stood to the side, not daring to speak, her anger simmering in her heart but unable to utter a word.
After all, who would dare to go against these people?
Fortunately, there's nothing in the house, so I'm not afraid of anyone coming and rummaging through my things.
Wang Zhongshan knew that Xu Xiangyang sometimes had minor troubles outside, and he wondered if something had happened to him.
In an instant, the courtyard was filled with people from the propaganda department. The leader looked at them with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Seeing this, Wang Zhongshan suppressed his anger and honestly asked, "Comrade, what happened? My family are all good comrades with impeccable revolutionary credentials."
Leaving aside the fact that everyone else's ancestors for three generations were farmers, he was a retired veteran.
And they've earned merit; we can't just search their homes without saying a word, can we?
The leader sneered, "Political background? We've received a complaint that Xu Xiangyang is a thief!"
After saying that, he rolled his eyes.
You think you can turn things around like this?
Today he's determined to find evidence and take advantage of the situation to crack down on malpractices, so he can impress his superiors!
Upon hearing this, not only were Wang Zhongshan and his group stunned, but the surrounding neighbors also erupted in chaos, like cold water being poured into a hot oil pan!
"What? That Factory Director Xu?"
"No way?"
"Why not? I think it might actually be true."
"You often smell meat in their house, they might have been stealing chickens."
"You can't say that, everyone goes to each other's homes..."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Who doesn't buy meat or something from the black market these days? But you can't just say things like that.
The provincial propaganda department is here now; if anyone dares to say anything out of line, they'll all be arrested.
For a moment, everyone was both scared and excited, wanting to watch the excitement but also afraid of getting involved.
"Captain Zhang, there's nothing here." The people who searched the house came out.
"No?" Captain Zhang was stunned. That's impossible.
“Search again carefully!” he said, frowning.
A short while later, a man came out carrying two iron boxes.
Wang Xiumin wanted to speak when she saw them, but she didn't dare to when she saw those people.
Wang Zhongshan, too, frowned and remained silent.
"So much money?" Captain Zhang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but laugh!
