Fu Shen said with a solemn expression, "Half a month ago, you told me about a mission and that you brought back a new researcher. Was his name Huo Xueshen?"
Lu Yunting's hand holding the cup suddenly paused, his eyes filled with wariness: "How do you know his name?"
He couldn't help but wonder if he had misjudged the person.
Fu Shen spoke calmly, “He was sent down to my wife’s village. We found out by chance a few months ago when we went back. Now we also know that the lady of this house used to be very close to Huo Xueshen’s mother. When Huo Xueshen had his accident, Grandma Yang solemnly promised at Huo Xueshen’s mother’s bedside that she would take care of Huo Xueshen and would do everything she could to find where he was sent down to, to help him out, and to send him some food and supplies. Unfortunately, she lost contact with him during his journey down to the countryside. Grandma Yang felt guilty and regretful for several years and even thought he was no longer alive. Now that she hears that he is still alive and has returned to the research base, the old lady is eager to see him. I wonder if you have any way to let them meet?”
After hearing these words, Lu Yunting's suspicion of Fu Shen vanished instantly.
He didn't actually have anyone thoroughly investigate Fu Shen's past, including Fu Shen's wife. He only had someone investigate the background of the family where his wife was temporarily staying in Beicheng.
Upon learning that it was the home of Yang Guohua, the political commissar of the Bincheng Military Region, he immediately signaled to his men to stop the investigation.
After all, if Fu Shen knew about the investigation, he would be even less willing to join his camp.
Although he did not conduct a further investigation, he learned that Yang Guohua's two sons, who had not graduated from high school, had been forced to go to the countryside by Gao Qiang.
Fortunately, Yang Guohua and his family did not confront Gao Qiang head-on, but instead quietly packed their things and obediently sent their two sons to the countryside.
Otherwise, it will inevitably cause big trouble.
Yang Guohua's parents were fortunate enough not to be reported or criticized a few years ago, thus escaping a calamity.
But if you offend Gao Qiang, that insidious and vicious person, you might not be so lucky. He might find someone to report you and then use others to criticize and denounce you.
Lu Yunting's face showed regret: "I didn't even have the right to see him. Ten years ago, I heard my older brother talk about his legendary achievements in academic research, which were unprecedented. At that time, I really wanted to see what kind of person he was and how he could be so brilliant. Unfortunately, he was too busy. The old guys from other research institutes traveled thousands of miles to Beicheng to see him, but they couldn't. Then, on the eve of this movement, no one was allowed to see him or leave the research base without permission."
"Despite all precautions, we still couldn't prevent it. He was tricked out of the research institute. In fact, Huo Xueshen had someone secretly protecting him at the time."
Fu Shen's tone was somewhat accusatory: "Why didn't you stop him when someone was protecting him? You even let him go home. The people protecting him were so incompetent. They knew he was forbidden from entering or leaving, yet they still let him out of the research facility."
Lu Yunting gave Fu Shen a meaningful look, "You should be able to figure out why."
Fu Shen's gaze sharpened: "Is the bodyguard next to him a mole?"
Lu Yunting nodded solemnly: "You could say they're moles, or you could say they've been bribed. Our people can be bribed, and their people can be bribed in the same way."
Fu Shen frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"
Lu Yunting: "Our people received information that Huo Xueshen would not be allowed to live once he arrived at his destination. So, our people infiltrated the group escorting Huo Xueshen and the others, intercepted them on the way, and sent him to another place."
Fu Shen: "If you go to another place, won't they send someone to follow you?"
Lu Yunting narrowed his eyes slightly, "They were afraid of death and dared not. At that time, our people secretly gave Huo Xueshen a kind of drug. When the disease appeared, it looked like an infectious disease. When those idiots saw Huo Xueshen's whole body was covered in sores and was emitting a nauseating stench, how could they dare to travel with him?"
My older brother told me that the person who took Huo Xueshen away alone had changed his identity. Those people couldn't find out about him even if they wanted to. Even if they did, he would have contracted a strange disease and might not survive until he was sent to his new place.
