Chapter 191 Hero
Jiang Haitang sipped the warm water. The ward was so quiet that she could hear the dripping sound of the saline solution.
Suddenly, there were messy footsteps in the corridor, the ward door was pushed open, and Kang Xiaoxia ran in.
Her flushed face was still stained with sweat, her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and her voice was filled with tears: "Sister Haitang, how are you? I was scared to death!"
Jiang Haitang lay on her side, forcing a pale smile: "I'm fine, just a few scrapes."
She raised her hand to comfort the other person, but it pulled the wound on her back, causing her eyelashes to tremble in pain.
"You're still being stubborn even after all this! Your smile is uglier than your cry!"
Jiang Haitang smiled bitterly and touched the back of his head, knowing that whatever he said would be wrong.
"Comrade Xiaokang!" Lu Liangchen interrupted. He was standing by the window, the hem of his clothes still stained with dust from the warehouse, and his pair of half-worn military boots were still covered in mud.
He looked at his watch. "Thank you Comrade Xiaokang for taking care of me tonight. I have things to do and need to leave. Haitang, please send someone to find me if you need anything."
Kang Xiaoxia immediately said, "Director Lu, don't worry, I will take good care of Sister Haitang."
Jiang Haitang looked at the man's tense jawline and knew that he had a lot of things to do at the moment.
Since discovering Li Shengli's abnormality, Lu Liangchen has been making plans in secret for three months, contacting the National Security Bureau, investigating the traitors, and collecting evidence. Every step is like walking on thin ice.
Now that the net is about to be closed, the burden on his shoulders is heavier than Mount Tai.
So she nodded obediently.
"You have to be careful and take care of yourself. I'll wait for you to come back." She said worriedly.
Lu Liangchen walked to the bedside and reached out to tidy up her scattered hair. His movements were as gentle as touching fragile glass.
At this time, as her fiancé, he should be by her side, but the responsibilities he carries prevent him from being with her.
"Have a good rest and wait for me." He turned and strode away, bringing with him a gust of cold wind.
The moment the door closed, Jiang Haitang heard him whisper in the corridor: "Make sure to do a good job of security."
Kang Xiaoxia sat down next to the hospital bed and carefully lifted the gauze on Jiang Haitang's back to check.
The area around the wound was so red and swollen that it was almost transparent, which was shocking against the fair skin.
"Beast!" She was so angry that she burst into tears. "Li Shengli usually looks like a decent person, who would have thought..."
Halfway through his speech, Kang Xiaoxia suddenly remembered that Li Shengli was not a good person. If he was a good person, why would he fake his death?
"I didn't expect that something would happen in our factory. I guess everyone in the factory will be in panic for a long time from now on." Kang Xiaoxia said with lingering fear.
Jiang Haitang forced a smile, "Li Shengli is desperate. The security in our factory is still okay."
Jiang Haitang comforted Kang Xiaoxia, but she knew that such comfort was useless.
If this matter were to get out, many female workers in the factory would probably be scared.
At the same time, the incandescent lamps in the textile factory's security department illuminated the office as bright as day.
Zhao Kai sat at his desk and gulped down half an enamel pot of strong tea.
He had just taken people to clean Li Shengli's dormitory and actually found some useful things.
Seeing Lu Liangchen coming in, he immediately stood up to report his work.
"Captain, we have cooperated with the Public Security Bureau and the National Security Bureau and have arrested all the relevant personnel. This operation was very successful. All the suspects we have identified have been arrested without any omissions." Zhao Kai's tone was very heavy, but there was also some excitement in the heaviness.
I was excited because I didn't expect to have the opportunity to participate in such a big case.
However, Chen Zhong felt that there were so many enemy spies. People like Li Shengli had been recruited while they were still in the army. It was really terrible.
"Did you find anything at Li Shengli's house?" Lu Liangchen asked.
"What we found in Li Shengli's dormitory were all coded communication records!" Zhao Kai handed his findings to Lu Liangchen.
"These records are all written in a code using textile terminology, exactly the same as the encryption method used in last year's train leak case!"
Lu Liangchen took the notebook, and on the yellowed pages were neatly recorded "spindle speed 3200, warp tension 15.2". It seemed like ordinary production data, but there was a strange gear pattern drawn in the lower right corner.
His fingertips traced over a certain symbol, reminding him of the half-smoked cigarette butt he found beside the abandoned railway tracks three months ago—the same gear mark, imprinted on the oil-stained cigarette paper.
"Contact the National Security Bureau and immediately initiate Plan B. We must capture them all before daybreak."
"Yes, Captain!" Zhao Kai answered seriously.
"Has Li Shengli's family confessed?"
"They didn't seem to know that Li Shengli was an enemy spy. Regarding Comrade Jiang Haitang, Li Qiulan said that because Liang Suya insisted on getting a divorce, Wu Xiuyun felt that the Li family's current situation was due to Comrade Jiang Haitang's departure, so she wanted Comrade Jiang Haitang to return to the Li family and work as a slave."
"Li Qiulan also said that Li Shengli is not satisfied with his current job. They plan to have Jiang Haitang give up her job to Li Shengli after he and Jiang Haitang get married."
Lu Liangchen sneered: "That's a nice thought. The reason why Li Shengli has a bad character has a lot to do with his mother."
Zhao Kai did not answer, but Wu Xiuyun was indeed not a good person, but a vicious-hearted paralytic.
I don’t know when it started raining outside. The rain got heavier and heavier, and the sound of the rain hitting the roof made a thud.
In the interrogation room, Li Qiulan curled up on the iron chair, her nails digging deep into her palms.
Wu Xiuyun slumped in the chair, staring at the ceiling with cloudy eyes, muttering to herself: "It's all that jinx..."
"Go ahead and tell us everything you know, otherwise, you'll end up with peanuts!" Xiao Wang slammed the table.
Li Qiulan trembled all over and suddenly broke down crying, "I don't know! I really don't know! My brother didn't say anything when he came home. He just said he wanted Jiang Haitang to come back and asked me to help him..."
Lao Zheng was taking Li Shengli to hand over to the national security department. Li Shengli was handcuffed to the seat of a jeep, with bloody gauze wrapped around his right eye.
When the national security personnel showed him their miniature cameras, he suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with the madness of a broken jar: "Even if you catch me, what can you do? We still have many..."
This was the first rain of spring and it lasted for two whole days.
Jiang Haitang lay on the hospital bed, listening to the nurses talking about what was happening in the textile factory.
Some people said that the security department searched half of the factory overnight, some people saw National Security vehicles coming in and out, and there were rumors that the case involving Li Shengli was bigger than imagined.
On the morning of the third day, the sun finally broke through the clouds.
When Lu Liangchen pushed the door open, his chin was covered with stubble and his eyes were bloodshot.
He was holding two lunch boxes in his hands: "The doctor said you are recovering well."
Jiang Haitang sat up, frowning slightly as the wound moved: "How's the case going?"
The man was silent for a moment.
"He was instigated to defect while still in the army two years ago," Lu Liangchen said in a low voice. "He took advantage of his demobilization to enter the textile factory. The secrets he stole involved military textile materials. This was also arranged by the enemy agents."
"He was part of the same enemy spy group as the group that attacked us on the train last year. It was Li Shengli who leaked our information back then."
After Jiang Haitang knew all this, she suddenly understood why Li Shengli became successful so quickly in his previous life.
It is estimated that his rapid rise to prominence was achieved through the use of confidentiality.
This person deserves to die!
Behind his glamour and splendor, there are not only his own blood and tears, but also the blood and tears of the country.
Lu Liangchen selectively said some things, but didn't dare to say more, for fear that Jiang Haitang would be sad to hear it.
Because Li Shengli's case involves enemy spies and cannot be made public at the moment, there are many different opinions in the factory.
Many workers were very worried when they heard that Jiang Haitang was attacked on site, fearing that they would become the next victim.
There were also some people who said maliciously that Jiang Haitang had been ruined, and some even said that Jiang Haitang would no longer be able to become the factory director's wife.
Lu Liangchen was worried that such rumors would hurt Jiang Haitang, but there was no other way to stop the rumors.
So, she decided to let Jiang Haitang stay in the hospital for two more days, and then return to work in the factory after she was completely recovered.
Another three days passed and the comrades from Guoan arrived at the textile factory.
"You were cautious and prudent. You didn't alert the enemy. Instead, you made plans to uncover all the forces behind the scenes. The leaders are very satisfied with your actions and want to commend you." The National Security Bureau came because of the righteous-looking middle-aged man, who first affirmed the actions of Lu Liangchen and the textile factory.
"Director Zhang, this is what we should do." Lu Liangchen said politely.
"I heard that a female comrade was injured while trying to capture an enemy spy. Her injury isn't serious, is it? The leader asked me to express my condolences." Zhang Lifeng asked with concern.
When Lu Liangchen heard what Zhang Lifeng said, he immediately said, "The injury is not serious. He is still in the hospital and will probably be discharged tomorrow."
In fact, Jiang Haitang was already eligible for discharge from the hospital, but because of rumors, Lu Liangchen insisted that Jiang Haitang stay in the hospital for two more days.
"Let's go to the hospital now." Zhang Lifeng was a decisive person, so he immediately got up and went to the hospital.
The news spread quickly, and many people in the factory knew that Li Shengli was arrested because he was an enemy spy, and that Jiang Haitang was not injured by Li Shengli, but was beaten while trying to catch an enemy spy.
Now, Jiang Haitang became a heroine, and soon all the rumors in the factory disappeared.
Many people in the factory sighed. They didn't expect that the seemingly righteous Li Shengli was actually an enemy spy, and a weak woman like Jiang Haitang dared to attack the enemy spy and fight him to the death.
Many female workers began to praise Jiang Haitang and expressed their desire to learn from Comrade Jiang Haitang, resolutely fight against enemy spies, and never let the country suffer losses.
When Liang Suya heard that Li Shengli was actually an enemy spy, her face turned pale.
Although she no longer lives with Lee Seung-ri, they are still husband and wife and have not divorced.
While Liang Suya was terrified, the National Security Bureau finally came to her house and took her away.
Not only Liang Suya, but also Li Shengjie, who was already in labor reform, was brought back for investigation.
After all, Li Shengjie was arrested for attempting to leak secrets.
