Chapter 154 The more you owe someone, the more you want them to disappear from this world
After Shen Tang returned to the military district, he did not go to Fan’s house for the time being.
After returning, she reported Xiang Ming's matter to her teacher.
In the office, the commander sat on a chair, holding a porcelain cup filled with hot tea in his hand: "You mean, you suspect Xiang Ming is a spy?
However, we have investigated everyone who has had contact with the Fan family. Although Xiang Ming's ancestors were not native to Hai City, they had settled in Hai City since their father's generation.
The Fan family fled to Hai City and settled in the courtyard randomly. It was all done by Mrs. Fan. Logically speaking, if the Xiang family was a spy monitoring the Fan family, it would be a bit inconsistent..."
Chen Tang: "I didn't say they were spies monitoring the Fan family? I said they were spies."
"Why don't you check where Xiang Ming's grandfather was from? The Japanese pirates were treacherous and cunning, so it's possible that his grandfather was already a spy?"
Even if there is a result within the organization, it will not be made public. The reason why Xiang Ming became known to everyone was because the matter became a big deal. Xiang Ming was sentenced to death, his children and wife were deported, his nationality was revoked, and his relatives were sentenced to life imprisonment.
Because of the Xiang family incident, the military district began to crack down and investigate severely, and everyone in the family compound felt insecure.
Chen Tang guessed that Xiang Ming was able to enter the military district because there were people in the military district who could contact him. However, those who could enter the military district had to go through a military review of their family background. Unless there were problems since his grandfather's generation, she couldn't figure out why no problems were found despite the strict investigation.
She also thought that Xiang Ming might have been used or bribed by someone, which led to the events of his previous life.
But after seeing Xiang Ming, she denied it. The other party had the image of an honest and calm person. If he had been used or bribed in his previous life, his relatives would not have ended up like that.
Teacher Tan felt that what Chen Tang said was nonsense, so he put down the cup and said, “Well, tell me in detail what happened when you only saw Xiang Ming, and why you felt that something was wrong with him.”
Teacher Shen Tangtan certainly didn't believe it, after all, she had no evidence and had only been to the courtyard three times.
She thought for a moment and exaggerated her feelings when she first saw Xiang Ming: "Commander, I know you don't believe me, and I really can't say where Xiang Ming's behavior is suspicious, but I really think that he is not right. Have you ever seen an honest man suddenly reveal a sharp and wise look like yours?
You also know that I am not a person who speaks without thinking, if I didn’t really feel something was wrong, I wouldn’t report it to you.”
Commander Tan thought for a moment and nodded at her: "I understand. I will take care of this matter."
He didn't quite believe what Shen Tang said. Unless Shen Tang could come up with more concrete evidence, how much manpower would it take to mobilize people to investigate thoroughly based on just a glance?
What's more, among the people they investigated before who had contact with the Fan family, Xiang Ming was one of them. The other party's background was very clean, so there was no need to investigate him a second time.
Chen Tang might not be wrong. Xiang Ming might not be an honest person. But everyone has two sides. Maybe the behavior he exhibits is different from his own personality.
However, since it was about the Fan family, he did not make a decision based on his own ideas. Maybe there was something wrong with Xiang Ming? Or maybe there was something wrong with Fan Zhong's death?
Thinking of this, Commander Tan hesitated for a moment and decided to ask someone to check Xiang Ming again.
Chen Tang didn't know what Commander Tan was thinking. She had already reported the matter, and it was not her who could decide the outcome.
She did not try to find evidence that Xiang Ming was a spy. She knew clearly that she was just an ordinary person, and the only thing she could do was to report anyone she thought was suspicious.
If you rashly try to catch the spy, you might alert the enemy and put yourself in danger.
During the weekend, Miao Yuan took a bus back to Miao's home.
In the courtyard, when Mr. Miao saw her coming back, he put down his teacup and smiled kindly: "Yuanyuan is back. How are you doing in the military area? Has anyone bullied you?"
Miao Yuan snorted and sat down with a cold face: "They are all cunning people, all of them are calculating, and no one is truly dedicated to the organization."
When she mentioned the Propaganda Department, she couldn't help but feel wronged: "Grandpa, why are they so selfish? And Director Liang actually hinted that he would fire me if I didn't give her any benefits!"
She has never been threatened by anyone since she was a child.
If her grandfather hadn't said he would help her, and that this quota was dispensable to her and could save her from embarrassment, she would have turned against him long ago.
Miao Fengshan lowered his eyelids and picked up the teacup. The hazy mist obscured the emotions in his eyes.
After a moment, he smiled kindly and said, "You, listen to Grandpa. I can give you this quota, but not at this time. When the time comes, you will understand why Grandpa insisted on letting you use this quota to hang on to the other party."
Miao Yuan didn't understand. It was just a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. She didn't want it because only people with connections could get into that university. She didn't care about such a university. It would be better for her to start working early and gain experience.
Director Liang is not a stupid person. She is keeping the other party in suspense. If the other party finds out, she might not be able to stay in the military region.
Miao Fengshan did not explain to her. He stood up with the help of a cane, took out a box from the room and handed it to her: "There is a lot of money in it, Yuanyuan, your parents are not reliable, but at least they can protect you. Take this money and don't tell anyone. Keep it for yourself. If grandpa passes away in the future, you will have peace of mind."
Miao Yuan quickly interrupted him: "Grandpa, what are you talking about? What do you mean by going or not going? You should exercise well and spend more time with Yuanyuan. I haven't found the right person yet. What if my parents sell me out? Wouldn't you be sad?"
Miao Fengshan smiled happily and touched her head: "Grandpa gave it to you, just take it. Your parents want it but they don't have it yet."
Miao Yuan felt that Grandpa was not right today, but she did not think much about it. She thought that he was not feeling well again, and her face became anxious: "Grandpa, did you have a nightmare again? Let's go to the hospital."
Miao Fengshan waved his hand: "I am so old now, if I go to the hospital for a checkup, won't it be all illness?
I have lived to this age, and I have lived enough. However, when I was young, I did some bad things, and I am afraid I can’t take them with me into the coffin in my later years. "
He sighed and asked with a smile: "If I get you into trouble, I wonder if you will blame me?"
Miao Yuan said with a straight face: "How can I blame Grandpa? Grandpa told me that when doing things, one should pursue one's own wishes. As long as you think what you do is right, you should not regret it. People always make mistakes, so it is impossible to have a clear conscience for the rest of your life.
Grandpa, if you really can't let go of the guilt in your heart, then just face it honestly. Why bother yourself all the time? "
"You don't understand." Miao Fengshan smoked a cigarette, shook his head and sighed, and did not continue the topic.
Sometimes the more you owe someone, the more you want them to disappear from this world.
Only when the secret is buried in the soil can he sleep peacefully.
