Ai Dang asked loudly, "You naughty bastard, you're not pretty but you think too highly of yourself, didn't you give him a beating?"
“I just kicked him down and left. But now that I think about it, it doesn’t make sense. No one in our compound would tell anyone. How did he know in such a short time that my parents had sacrificed their lives and that I was moving out of the compound? If I had asked the organization to let me stay until I came of age, I believe they wouldn’t have objected. At worst, we could have just moved to a smaller house.” She finished speaking and looked at Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing said, "This is also what I'm wondering about. The notice to move you out of the compound wasn't issued by us. The logistics department said it was an order from above. I thought about how sad you were, and I figured that moving to a different environment might help you get over your sadness faster. Besides, we have so many uncles and elders here; we can always protect you."
Indeed, didn't the original owner just reunite with his parents?
Zhang Jing's worries were not unfounded.
The Kuomintang leader, who had remained silent until now, spoke his first words upon entering the room: "Mo Xue, name someone, and we'll have to investigate that person. We also need to investigate what the political commissar said. I'll take care of this, okay?"
He looked at the others, and they all nodded, so the matter was settled.
“Wang Fugui. His father works at a nearby tarpaulin factory, but I don’t know his name. I’ll draw a portrait of him for you.”
As An Moxue spoke, she took out a small notebook and a pencil from her pocket and began to draw. A minute later, a portrait was finished. She put away the notebook and pencil and handed the portrait to the Kuomintang.
He received the portrait, and several people, out of curiosity, gathered around. Upon closer inspection, they were astonished to find it exceptionally well-painted, and they all gave her a thumbs up.
She smiled and continued, "Later, some people even offered themselves to me. Then, when I went to the countryside, I encountered human traffickers. Their goal was also to capture me, but later they realized they couldn't catch me, so they changed their tactics to framing and hunting me down. Uncle Zhang knows all of this and has helped me a lot. He even went to the north specifically for this. So, I'm curious, what exactly happened?"
Ai Dang blurted out, "It seems things are not simple at all! Mu Yang and his wife are truly remarkable; they were not only extraordinary in life, but also legendary figures in death. I admire them."
Li Liangchen shouted angrily, "Shut up! Mo Xue is still here! I've been putting up with you for a long time, you have no sense of propriety. I think you're just asking for a beating, why don't you go and practice now?"
He stopped talking and shook his head like a rattle-drum. What a joke! Knowing you can't win and still fighting? That's stupid! He's not going.
“It’s okay, Uncle Li, I’ve moved on from what happened to my parents.”
Li Liangchen clenched his fists and threatened, "Did you hear that? I'm letting you off today because of Mo Xue. If you don't remember this, I'll settle the score with you."
"Yes, yes, I remember." Let's not suffer any loss first; you're too quick to speak.
Then he turned to An Moxue with a warm smile, "My dear niece, it has to be you. Come to my house later, and I'll cook you something delicious."
"Go away, come to my house for dinner later."
"Come to my house."
"Why go to your house? Go to my house."
Even Chu Gang, who hadn't spoken until now, finally said, "Let's go to my house."
"What's there to argue about? Let's go to the cafeteria together," Zhang Jing said decisively. Otherwise, they might have been arguing endlessly about this. "Back to the main point, what do you want to say?"
The Nationalist Party said, "The key is what Mo Xue mentioned, which I think is the core of the incident. It is now important to find out this."
Wen Zheng also said, "To be able to arrange so many things, that person must be in a high position of power, at least at the division level or above. And there are very few people who can also get involved in so much confidential work. This person is crucial."
Ai Dang curled his lip, "This person must be a hypocrite. He may appear to be affectionate and passionate, but he might be wicked in secret! He might even be a refined scoundrel."
An Moxue thought about it and realized that Zhu Zhen was not from a poor background. His family was indeed capitalists before, but their factories and properties were seized. When they fled south, they joined our party. Considering his deeds, Ai Dang's words were sometimes quite insightful.
An Moxue smiled slyly, "Uncle Zhang, as An Muyang and Lan Dieyi's only daughter, shouldn't I be able to apply to join the investigation team at this time?"
Ai Dang chimed in, "My dear niece, what you said makes perfect sense, Political Commissar Zhang, what do you think?"
"It's worth a try."
"feasible."
Everyone agreed, and Zhang Jing also thought it was feasible, so he said, "Then let's call it a day! Mo Xue and I will go see the leader."
The group went out together, and Ai Guo said as they walked, "My niece will be back for dinner in a little while."
An Moxue readily replied, "Yes, I will."
The group walked out together, with An Moxue and Zhang Jing at the back. Zhang Jing asked An Moxue, "How many days off do you have?"
"It should be a few days." Hearing An Moxue say this, it was clear that the leave was flexible. "Uncle Zhang, I drove here, let me give you a ride!"
"Well done, you're doing pretty well!"
Once downstairs, the group separated, and the car was parked downstairs. Wen Zheng and the other four saw An Moxue get into the driver's seat and waved to her.
As the car drove away, the five people looked at the direction where only the rear of the car remained. Wen Zheng sighed sincerely, "My brat was still worrying about Mo Xue. He should really see Mo Xue now. He'd be shocked. He calls himself an older brother, but he's not as good as his sister. How embarrassing."
Li Liangchen then chimed in, "Don't even mention startling him, I don't believe you weren't shocked too. I had a hard time calming myself down, afraid of making a scene in front of the younger generation and losing face."
Guo Hedang took out the portrait of Wang Fugui from his pocket and said while looking at it, "I really didn't expect it. I heard that Mo Xue was seconded to a rural area, but she's still very busy. Take a look at this portrait."
The five grown men gathered together again to look at the portrait.
Chu Gang said, "I think Mo Xue can live a life of ease just by using her portrait skills."
Ai Guo glanced at them and said, "Have you forgotten what Mu Yang and his wife are capable of? They've been raising Mo Xue since she was little. If Mo Xue learns any of her parents' skills, she won't starve. Besides, Mu Yang seems amiable, but he's actually quite ruthless. Over the years, he's accumulated quite a bit of knowledge. He goes on missions very frequently, and they're mostly classified missions. The rewards are substantial, and his family of three doesn't have many expenses."
"You're being so reckless again, trying to cause trouble for Mo Xue, aren't you? Looks like I'm not happy that I didn't beat you up earlier. Come on, let's have a match." Li Liangchen said, grabbing Ai Guo by the collar and heading towards the playground.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Listen to me. I'm only saying this because it's just the few of us!" Ai Guo, while being forced to follow Li Liangchen to the playground, didn't forget to call on the other three to plead for him, "You guys better put in a good word for me, I'm having dinner with my niece later! You really want me to get hurt?!"
"Yes, Liangchen, don't slap me in the face."
"Yes, yes."
"right."
