Su Yue continued, "Do you think Uncle Tang will associate Huo Xueshen's face with you? I saw Uncle Tang look at you several times during dinner."
Seeing that Fu Shen hadn't responded for a long time, Su Yue gently nudged his arm, "What are you thinking about?"
Fu Shen reached out and grasped Su Yue's hand. "I'm thinking that Uncle Tang must be suspecting that I have some kind of relationship with Huo Xueshen."
Su Yue's eyes lit up immediately. "So you look like Huo Xueshen? Go ask Uncle Tang and hear what he thinks. I told you you look like Huo Xueshen, but you didn't believe me."
The two walked out of the room together and saw Tang Jianguo sitting in the yard, his brows furrowed, sullenly smoking.
Tang Jianguo took a few deep drags on his cigarette, then tossed the butt aside.
"Is there something you need?"
Su Yue looked at Fu Shen, who said, "Before we eat, Uncle Tang, is there something you want to ask me?"
Tang Jianguo was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Soldiers are different. I do have something I want to ask you."
Fu Shen: "What is it?"
Tang Jianguo looked puzzled. "Do you have any relatives in Beicheng?"
Fu Shen shook his head: "No."
Tang Jianguo: "That's strange. I met someone who looked exactly like you. If I'm not saying they were 100% similar, they were at least 99% similar."
Fu Shen: "The person you're talking about is Huo Xueshen, who was sent down here?"
Tang Jianguo looked at Su Yue in surprise, "Did Yunyun tell you?"
Su Yue hurriedly explained, "Uncle Tang, please don't blame Tang Yunyun. She told me all this because Fu Shen and I came back to ask Huo Xueshen about something."
Tang Jianguo sighed inwardly. It wasn't that he really blamed Tang Yunyun for telling Su Yue, but those people had instructed him not to easily reveal Huo Xueshen's matter. They hoped to keep it a secret for as long as possible, and that everything would be fine as long as they sent Huo Xueshen into the research base.
"What do you want with Huo Xueshen?"
Su Yue said with a smile, "Just look at Fu Shen's face and you'll know what we need him for."
Although he already had a suspicion, Tang Jianguo still tentatively asked, "Is Fu Shen not the biological son of his current parents?"
More than a decade ago, there were countless cases of fathers reporting sons, sons reporting fathers, and relatives reporting each other, leading to broken families and broken marriages.
If Huo Xueshen were Fu Shen's father, then with Huo Xueshen being demoted, Fu Shen would likely be adopted by someone else.
Fu Shen: "I had doubts before, but now I believe it more than halfway."
After listening, Tang Jianguo recounted the events of that night in detail.
“That night, five people came to my house and asked me to secretly call Huo Xueshen over, saying that they wanted to secretly take him away from here. I certainly couldn’t let them take him away so easily, so they showed me the documents. The documents and the stamp were dated on two different dates. The documents were written more than three months earlier than the stamp, but the stamp was from a few days ago. When they saw that I was suspicious, one of them briefly explained the reason to me.”
"It turns out the document was supposed to be issued three months ago, but it was blocked. Someone promised to give him a task, and once he returned, he would immediately stamp the document and bring Huo Xueshen back."
"As soon as that person finished his mission, the higher-ups sent them to pick him up. They said that Huo Xueshen had to be taken away before dawn, otherwise he wouldn't survive if he stayed in the village. I went to call Huo Xueshen over, and I only felt a little more at ease when I saw that Huo Xueshen recognized one of the people."
"When Huo Xueshen knew he could leave, he tidied up his appearance and shaved. I was stunned when I saw Huo Xueshen without a beard."
As he spoke, he looked directly at Fu Shen, "I was a little confused when I heard his voice. I didn't expect that without his beard he would look exactly like you. Huo Xueshen has been in the village for more than ten years, and I have never seen what he really looks like. On the first day he came to the village, he had a full beard, long hair, and looked utterly dejected. In the last two years, he has been even more lifeless. This year, I was worried that he wouldn't make it through the winter. I didn't expect that he could go back early."
After listening, Su Yue felt that what Tang Jianguo said was similar to what Tang Yunyun said, except that Tang Jianguo explained it in more detail.
