Chapter 223 Interrogation

What?

Chen Huilan was speechless as if she was struck by lightning. Lin Shu didn't say that Chen Yanming hadn't married yet, so how could he... have a son?

Not to mention, when she took a sudden look, she found that he looked a bit like Chen Yanming.

Chen Huilan was full of doubts and thought she should talk to Lin Shu.

Before, she thought that Chen Yanming's parents had arranged a marriage for him and brought his favorite partner from the countryside to get married, but she didn't expect that he already had a child?

This child couldn't be fake, right? Could

he, Chen Yanming, still recognize him?

Chen Huilan also knew that since Chen Erhu and others were here, they would definitely find the No. 8 courtyard, so she didn't refuse to show them the way.

She also didn't want Chen Erhu's family to go out and ruin Chen Yanming's reputation, which would inevitably spread badly, so she took the initiative to help lead them to the No. 8 Courtyard.

In the No. 8 Courtyard, Lin Shu was writing an article in her room, Fang Dihua and Fang's mother were washing clothes in the yard and entertaining Grandma Guan, and Panpan and Tiantian ran out to play with the children.

Chen's father and his three children were on the third floor. Chen's father had torn a muscle and was recuperating in bed. Chen's mother took care of him, and Zhang Juying was in charge of cooking.

"Dad, Mom, we're here!" Chen Erhu shouted at the top of his voice as soon as he stepped into the door of the No. 8 Courtyard. He looked around with his eyes and felt that this courtyard was really good in every way, much better than the county town.

Look, a small building with its own door and yard, with lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs, and such a big yard, with running water, living here is really exciting.

I don't want to go back to the stinky countryside in this life. When it rains, it's muddy everywhere, and when it doesn't rain, it's windy all day long. The air is full of the smell of pig and cow dung all day long. We eat coarse grains and can't get a big piece of meat all year round.

How good it is in the city, with white flour steamed bread every day and meat every day!

He lifted up the sack on his back and greeted the three old ladies in the yard with a smile: "Auntie, auntie, are you doing laundry? My name is Chen Erhu, and my brother is Chen Yanming, the leader of this unit, a high-ranking official, a senior cadre!"

Not to mention Chen Huilan couldn't bear to watch, Fang Dihua and Grandma Fang wanted to beat him up, and even Old Lady Guan felt ashamed.

Is there any man in this family compound who is not a cadre?

The key is that you keep talking about being an official, which makes you look cheap, and it's really embarrassing.

Old Lady Guan and Huang's mother had different thoughts. Huang's mother didn't feel anything at first, but later she hated more and more. She not only hated Lin Shu, but also Lu Shaotang, and even Lin Shu's relatives and friends, so she hoped that Chen Yanming would lose face.

Old Lady Guan blamed Lin Shu because Lin Shu caused her grandson to be scolded and even beaten by her son, and also caused tension between her and her mother-in-law. But she only blamed Lin Shu and wanted to see Lin Shu make a fool

of herself. She didn't think about Lu Shaotang having any accidents, nor did she think about Chen Yanming who was good friends with Lu Shaotang. When she heard that Fang Dihua and Grandma Fang were coming, she took the time to come and chat. She still wanted to put some eye drops on Lin Shu and let Fang Dihua deal with Lin Shu as a mother-in-law.

Seeing Chen Erhu like this, she was really embarrassed for Chen Yanming.

Imagine if she came from the countryside and shouted in the family compound that her son was a big official, her son would probably be embarrassed to death.

It would be bad for her to come in this generation.

Just now, she was trying to persuade Lin Shu to let Fang Dihua take care of her and not let her be mean to Chen's father and mother and offend others. Seeing Chen Erhu like this, she took out her elder's airs and scolded him: "Where are you from? You keep talking about your position as an official. Are you waiting for someone to report and arrest your brother to see if you are bullying others?"

Chen Erhu originally thought that he was sweet-mouthed and could coax people. Everyone liked him in the countryside, and he must be the same in the city.

Who knew that he would be scolded by an old woman as soon as he opened his mouth.

He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying: "Auntie taught me right. I am uneducated and can't speak. Thank you very much. I will know it later."

He then complimented Mrs. Guan.

Mrs. Guan snorted, very proud, and felt comfortable in her heart.

Chen's mother and others on the third floor heard the voices and responded immediately, shouting that the second son's family had finally arrived, and asked them to hurry upstairs.

Lin Shu also heard the voices, and peeked out of the window, just in time to meet Chen Huilan's eyes.

She smiled, "Director Chen is here, is there anything? Do you want to come up and sit?"

Chen Huilan, Fang Dihua and Grandma Fang greeted them, and went upstairs after saying hello.

Grandma Fang said to Fang Dihua, asking her to go upstairs and take a look, so as not to let Shaotang's wife suffer.

Fang Dihua: "Okay."

She quickly wrung out the clothes, trying to dry them as much as possible, and then hung them on the clothesline in the corner to dry them. She waited until they stopped dripping before taking them upstairs.

Granny Fang gave her a towel to wipe her hands, and then used some oil to wipe her hands, "Wipe more, don't chapped your hands, Shao Tang's wife is so considerate, she bought so many for you, you have to use them, don't waste them after they expire."

Granny Fang's favorite thing to do now is to show her care for her daughter in various ways, and at the same time praise Shao Tang's wife in various ways.

As for the affairs of the Chen family, she doesn't need to get involved, she just needs to come and complete the task.

With her here, Chen's father and mother can't take advantage of their old age.

Granny Guan looked at Granny Fang and Fang Dihua's disgusting looks and couldn't help but feel jealous. Of course, she still opened her mouth to flatter Lin Shu, anyway, she could always blame Lin Shu for anything.

Now that Fang Dihua doesn't need Grandma Guan's help buying things, she retorted to her: "Does your grandson still hit people?"

Grandma Guan's conditioned reflex was the same, "My grandson doesn't hit people. He's so well-behaved. Now he has a very good relationship with people. Teachers and classmates all praise him."

Fang Dihua: "That's the credit of my daughter-in-law. If she wasn't afraid of offending you and spoke your mind, your grandson would have been abandoned, and it would have been too late if he made a big mistake in the future." If

someone else had said this, Grandma Guan would definitely be furious, but she and Fang Dihua knew from the beginning that Fang Dihua had a straightforward temper. She said whatever she wanted, and never said sweet words, let alone said nice things to flatter people, so Fang Dihua subconsciously felt that what she said made sense.

Although Guan Ze still gets criticized by his father, his performance is much better. The children in the family compound also play with him and no longer bully others.

Fang Dihua wanted to go upstairs to take a look. She supported her mother, and Grandma Fang turned back to say goodbye to Grandma Guan.

She felt that after all, it was the family disgrace of Shaotang’s comrade, so she should not let Grandma Guan see it.

Grandma Guan said goodbye tactfully.

Upstairs, Lin Shu welcomed Chen Huilan into the house and poured her a cup of longan, red dates and wolfberry tea. It was sweet, warmed the stomach and spleen, and helped sleep. It was very comfortable to drink in winter.

Chen Huilan whispered to Lin Shu what Chen Erhu said, "That child, go back and take a look, he really looks a bit like Director Chen."

Lin Shu was shocked, "Really?"

Chen Huilan nodded, "Although I haven't seen Director Chen many times, I always have an impression of him after seeing him."

Lin Shu stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and looked out. The room diagonally opposite to the left was Chen Yanming's room, and the room diagonally opposite to the right was the other room.

At this moment, the Chen family was crying and laughing with the door open. They were going to leave, but the second son came and naturally refused to leave. Chen's father was selling it badly, Chen's mother was crying and scolding, Chen Erhu felt sorry for his parents, and the children were chattering. For a while, the third floor was like a poultry market.

And Zhang Juying was holding a little boy of six or seven years old and kissing and loving him.

Lin Shu saw the little boy's face. It was true that he looked a bit like Chen Yanming, but he looked more like Zhang Juying.

Now Lin Shu was a little unsure.

Zhang Juying: "Mantun'er, are you hungry? Mom will make you some egg custard."

The little boy said he was hungry and wanted to eat eggs. "Mom, where is my dad? Didn't you say he was here?"

Zhang Juying: "Your dad went out to work."

At this time, Fang Dihua and Grandma Fang came up. Seeing the child Zhang Juying was holding, Fang Dihua was also stunned.

Zhang Juying turned around, looked at them and said loudly: "This is the son of me and Brother Yanming! Although we haven't obtained a marriage certificate, we have had a wedding banquet!"

Fang Dihua glanced at her but ignored her. Instead, she helped her mother into Lin Shu's room.

Fang Dihua entered the room and closed the door, and then several people entered the inner room separated by the coat closet.

Fang Dihua whispered: "That child..."

Lin Shu: "I'll call Shaotang."

Chen Yanming was indeed away on a business trip to another province.

In order to let Lu Shaotang go home more often to reunite with his family, Chen Yanming paid too much. He was basically the one who led the business trip to other provinces.

Of course, Lu Shaotang was always on a business trip, but it was basically Chen Yanming who took the initiative to lead the business trip that lasted for a month or so.

Therefore, Lin Shu was even more grateful to Chen Yanming, and she would naturally protect him when something happened.

But if Chen's father and mother brought Zhang Juying here, Lin Shu would naturally choose to support Chen Yanming unconditionally. It must be that the old couple made the decision first and then reported it. Even if they said they had already had their wedding night, she would not believe it.

But when she saw the little boy, Lin Shu was a little shaken again.

She didn't think Chen Yanming was lying, but she thought that maybe Chen Yanming had his own difficulties, such as being plotted against by his parents when he went home to visit his relatives?

But Chen Yanming shouldn't be like Lin Yue who couldn't control himself when being seduced by someone, right?

Then what happened?

Forced to drink? Drugged?

No matter how you think about it, it doesn't seem reliable.

If Chen Yanming was really plotted to have a child, then...

thinking about it this way, Chen Yanming will be sad for the rest of his life.

Why doesn't Chen Yanming have a biological son in the original plot? The book doesn't write about his wife and biological son!

Doesn't that mean that this is not his biological son at all?

Lin Shu went out with Chen Huilan, planning to call Lu Shaotang and buy lunch at the cafeteria.

Lu Shaotang was also on a business trip, but he left his office phone number for her to contact.

Lin Shu went directly to Lu Shaotang's office to call. Xiaozhuang was not there, and another little warrior stayed behind.

He asked for Lu Shaotang's phone number for Lin Shu, and after the call was connected, he handed it to Lin Shu, "Sister-in-law, I've connected with the Lu team."

Lin Shu smiled at him, took the phone and said hello.

Lu Shaotang: "It's me, how are you?"

Lin Shu sighed slightly: "It was going very smoothly. Today, his second brother came and brought a little boy with him. He said that Zhang Juying gave birth to him."

Lu Shaotang said decisively: "Impossible."

If Chen Yanming had a child, no matter under what circumstances, he would not hide it.

Lin Shu: "He looks six or seven years old. He may grow a little smaller due to poor nutrition in the countryside."

The child should not have received a good enlightenment education. He looks silly.

She whispered: "Do you think he was plotted against, such as being drunk or drugged?"

After all, Lin Shu has read so many novels, and various means are endless. Isn't it often the case that the male protagonist is drugged or drunk and then has a night of debauchery, and the woman returns with a child many years later?

Lu Shaotang tutted his words, his voice was originally deep and magnetic, and now it became even deeper, "What are you thinking, wife?"

People like them, as long as they don't want to, no matter if they are drunk or taking drugs, who can force them?

Having sex after drinking is just an excuse for men. He will have sex only when he wants to, and he won't do it if he doesn't want to.

Chen Yanming will never do such a shameful thing. If he does it, he will admit it openly.

Lin Shu muttered softly, "Okay, then when can he come back?"

She was not afraid that Chen's father and mother would go out and talk nonsense. Now that they have a child who is somewhat similar to Chen Yanming, it is different. Chen Yanming can easily become a treacherous man who abandons his wife and children.

Lu Shaotang: "I'll contact him."

Lin Shu: "Wait a minute." She hesitated and said, "Ask him what's going on first. If you don't have to come back, don't come back."

When Chen Yanming was not around, no matter how Chen's father and second brother struggled, others could ignore them, but once Chen Yanming was around, their struggles had meaning.

Lu Shaotang understood what Lin Shu meant. She just wanted to know what was going on with the child, not to ask Chen Yanming to come back and solve them.

After hanging up the phone, it was almost noon, and Lin Shu went to the cafeteria to get food.

If it was usual, she would definitely plan to make something delicious, but now the Chen family was in a mess and she didn't have the heart to cook, so it was better to buy food directly from the cafeteria.

She carried two lunch boxes to the canteen, but saw a group of people gathered there, watching something noisy. When she got closer, she heard the voice of Chen's mother.

Lin Shu frowned. It was indeed Chen's mother who brought Zhang Juying and the children to get food, and was loudly showing off her son and grandson.

"Ah, yes, yes, my son is Chen Yanming."

"Yes, this is my daughter-in-law and grandson."

"Seven years old!"

"Well, move in and live with us. You won't leave. The child can't be without a father when he grows up."

Mother Chen turned around and saw Lin Shu next to her, and shouted, "Hey, isn't this Director Lu's daughter-in-law? You're here to get food too. My son and your husband are comrades-in-arms. In the future, our two families must be as close as one family."

She dragged the child's hand and walked towards Lin Shu, saying loudly, "This is our Yan Ming's son. Tell me, Yan Ming is busy with work and hasn't seen the child yet."

People who didn't know them expressed their sympathy, "This is not easy, and now they are finally reunited."

Chen's mother looked very proud, staring at Lin Shu, "I know that many people are eyeing our Yanming and want to find him a wife. Aren't they just eyeing our Yanming's salary? Our Yanming already has a wife, and the child is so big. Some people should not be so shameless to come up with it."

Chen's mother thought that it must be Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang who wanted to introduce a country girl to Chen Yanming.

People who knew Lin Shu came over, greeted Lin Shu, and asked what was going on. Those who knew Chen's father and mother were stunned.

Everyone was very puzzled. Chen's father and mother took their "daughter-in-law" everywhere a few days ago, so why did they suddenly have a child today?

"He looks a bit like Director Chen."

"Is he really Director Chen's son?"

"Then why did you say you were unmarried and had no wife?"

People who were close to Lin Shu naturally suspected Chen's mother, but those who were not so close or even jealous naturally said sarcastic words, thinking that Chen Yanming must have abandoned his wife after he became successful and wanted to abandon his wife and children to go to the city to marry a young and beautiful wife.

"Isn't this common?"

"You are still pretending to be single even though your child is so old!"

Someone sarcastically said, "Many people in the countryside don't get a marriage certificate when they get married. They just have a meal at home and forget about it. When they go back to other places, they pretend to be single and say they have no partner."

Those who were jealous of Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming naturally had evil thoughts and thought this was a good opportunity to report.

They immediately went back to discuss and report that Chen Yanming had abandoned his wife and children and that he had problems with his ideology and style.

It was a pity that he did not get married in the city, otherwise he could be charged with a more serious crime.

Lin Shu watched from the sidelines and knew that someone must be causing trouble. She was originally worried that Chen Yanming might have his own reasons for being plotted against, and was embarrassed to tell Lu Shaotang that he had a wife and children in the countryside. Now seeing the attitude of Chen's mother, she felt that there was indeed something fishy going on.

Could it be that the child was not Chen Yanming's?

She stared at the child and identified him carefully.

The child was a little shy and hid behind Zhang Juying's thighs. He peeked at Lin Shu, and immediately retracted his head when he saw that Lin Shu was looking at him.

Chen's mother asked Zhang Juying to take the child while she went to the cafeteria to get food.

She bought a few steamed buns and two servings of dishes for the old man and his son.

Seeing Chen's mother go to get food, Lin Shu walked up to Zhang Juying and said calmly, "This child is not Chen Yanming's."

Zhang Juying was frightened and her face changed. Then she shouted, "What are you talking about? How dare you slander me! This is the son of me and Brother Yanming. Look, this child has grown in the good-looking parts of me and Brother Yanming!"

She turned the child's head up to show Lin Shu, eager to prove that this was Chen Yanming's son.

Her behavior made Lin Shu more suspicious.

Lin Shu smiled, "I don't know how you got on Chen Yanming, but I believe the police can solve the case."

Zhang Juying burst into tears immediately, "You bully me, you bully me——"

Mantuner was frightened when he saw his mother crying, and he also cried loudly, pointing at Lin Shu and scolding, "Bad woman, you are a witch, it's you, you seduced my father and didn't go home!"

Although he was shy and afraid of strangers, he had learned from his mother that a fox spirit seduced his father and seduced his father from going home.

Now when he saw his mother crying, his first reaction was that this beautiful woman was a fox spirit, and it was she who seduced his father and didn't go home.

Lin Shu immediately said to Zhang Juying, "You are teaching your son to slander other military wives? Okay, let's go to the police station and have a good talk. By the way, let the police check where the child came from. Anyway, I think it is definitely not Chen Yanming's son."

When Zhang Juying heard that she said it was not Chen Yanming's son, she cried even louder, "Bullying, bullying!"

She cried so hard, and there were too many people watching, which naturally alarmed Captain Yuan.

So at lunch time, Captain Yuan brought two police officers to the third floor of the No. 8 courtyard.

Panpan and Tiantian returned home at lunchtime. They had played in the nursery for a while in the morning, got two comic books from Principal Du, and went to the elementary school to play with Li Li, Huang Han, and others. They successfully tortured a group of children by reciting texts and doing arithmetic, and received a lot of praise and prizes from the teacher.

Lin Shu asked them to eat first, and she went out to talk to Yuan Lijun about the situation.

Zhang Juying yelled, "You were the first to slander me, saying that my son is not Brother Yanming's son!"

Lin Shu: "I can see that he is not Chen Yanming's son."

Zhang Juying: "Bullying, bullying!"

Chen Erhu ate his meal in an enamel pot, wiped his mouth, and came over to smile and try to get close to Captain Yuan, "Comrade Public Security, I am Chen Yanming's second brother. Our whole family can testify that Juying is my brother's wife, and Mantun'er is also her and my third brother's son."

Chen Erhu glanced at Lin Shu, but was so shocked by her beauty that he couldn't speak for a while.

Yuan Lijun coughed, and Chen Erhu turned his head away in fear.

Chen's mother didn't even bother to eat and came out to make a fuss, asking Captain Yuan to investigate Lin Shu, "She is so bad, she instigated the people in the family compound to ignore us and not let them lend us money."

Lin Shu ignored her and said to Captain Yuan, "Chen Yanming is a soldier and now holds an important position. His reputation cannot be tarnished. They had to undergo political review when they joined the army, and their files recorded whether they were married or not. Since there is no record in the file, then they are not married. But they are making a big fuss here, obviously trying to force someone to drink water."

Yuan Lijun also felt that Chen's mother and others' shouting had a bad influence on Chen Yanming.

Normally, parents would cherish their children's reputation, especially such a promising child. If they ruined their child's reputation, they would have to quarrel with others if someone outside said something bad.

But they were just talking nonsense outside, not caring about Chen Yanming's reputation at all. Instead, they seemed to take advantage of Chen Yanming's absence to make things real and force him to recognize his wife and son.

The crowd may think that Chen Yanming is a traitor or something, but Yuan Lijun is a professional, so he is not so superficial.

After a brief analysis, he also felt that there was something wrong with Chen's mother and others.

But how to find out the truth?

Yuan Lijun discussed with Lin Shu that they should wait for the news from Director Lu to see how Chen Yanming explained.

Lu Shaotang also contacted Chen Yanming through the hotline.

Chen Yanming was eating noodles. When he heard his subordinates calling Director Lu, he ate the remaining noodles in one gulp, drank the noodle soup in one gulp, wiped his mouth and took the microphone: "Old Lu?"

Lu Shaotang didn't waste time with him, and asked his son what was wrong.

Chen Yanming was so scared that he almost choked up the noodle soup he had just drunk. "Son? When did I have a son that big?"

Lu Shaotang: "Your parents said that they had arranged a wife for you a few years ago, named Zhang Juying, and that you two had a wedding ceremony. Now they have moved to Courtyard No. 8, and this child looks a bit like you."

Lu Shaotang squeezed the microphone with such force that veins on the back of his hand were exposed.

Without hearing his answer, Lu Shaotang asked: "Chen Yanming, have you ever been plotted against by someone?"

Although he thought it was impossible, Lin Shurang asked, so he gave Chen Yanming a chance to explain.

Chen Yanming's voice was a little dry, and he suppressed his emotions, "I was plotted, but it didn't work."

Lu Shaotang: "That child?"

Chen Yanming smiled self-deprecatingly.

When he was a child, he didn't understand why his parents were partial to one another, but later he realized that everyone is partial to one another.

You have several comrades-in-arms, but you have the best relationship with one of them, you have several brothers and sisters, but you treat one of them the best, and you have several children, but you love one of them the most.

Parents are also human, so they are naturally partial to one another.

But although all parents in the world are partial to one another, none of them are like his parents.

He just felt disappointed.

Lu Shaotang didn't know what to say for a moment. After a pause, he asked, "How do you want to solve this problem? Send them back directly or investigate the truth about the child?"

Chen Yanming laughed, "I warn you, don't even think about making fun of my family. Family shame should not be exposed. Send them back and I will deal with it myself when I get back."

As long as he made it clear to the local brigade and commune that they were not allowed to issue letters of introduction to them, they would not be able to travel far, let alone come to Qizhou to cause trouble for him.

Although he laughed loudly, Lu Shaotang could hear the sadness in his heart.

Chen Yanming: "Old Lu, the key is how did they find this place? I didn't tell them."

Lu Shaotang: "I have sent someone to investigate, and the news came back that your parents received an anonymous letter, which was sent from this county, and they are still investigating. I have sent the documents to the capital, please help investigate there."

Not many people know Chen Yanming's original address and current unit at the same time.

However, Lu Shaotang intuitively felt that it should not be an enemy spy, but more like... someone retaliated against Chen Yanming.

As for the motive, we will know after finding the anonymous person and interrogating him.

Lu Shaotang hung up the phone, thought about it, and decided not to call the unit. He decided to go back and ask Chen's family in person, including the child and the anonymous letter.

If it was just Chen's father and mother, Lu Shaotang would not want to contact Chen Yanming, but now that a child has suddenly appeared, he has to ask clearly. He is not afraid of Chen's father and mother, but he did not know Chen Yanming's attitude before and it was difficult to deal with him. Besides, he did not want to be disrespectful to Chen Yanming's parents. Now there is a second brother, right?

After dinner, the third floor of No. 8 Courtyard was still very lively, with adults cursing, children crying, one saying hungry and the other saying sleepy.

But there is only one room and one bed. Five adults and four children squeezed in at once, where can they sleep?

They can sleep on the floor, but there are not enough beddings?

Chen Erhu knocked on Lin Shu's door shamelessly, "Well, sister, a neighbor is better than a distant relative. You see, my third brother is not here, and our family can't live anywhere..." Fang

Dihua opened the door opposite and shouted coldly, "What are you doing knocking on my daughter-in-law's door, a grown man?"

Chen Erhu hurriedly smiled and said again that he wanted to borrow a quilt, "Adults can't take care of children. If something happens to them, you will feel bad, right?"

Fang Dihua thought about it and took the mattress on the bed for him. She and Grandma Fang could share a quilt.

Chen Erhu looked at the mattress and said in embarrassment, "Auntie, be a good person to the end."

At this time, several people came up from the stairs. The leader was tall and handsome, with stern eyes, which scared Chen Erhu so much that he immediately retreated to his door.

Xiaozhuang: "Brother Chen, this is our Lu Ju, he has arranged another room for you, come with me."

Chen Erhu immediately asked his wife and children to change rooms.

Chen's mother and Zhang Juying also came out to see, and Chen's mother complained: "Comrade Lu, where have you been these days? You disappeared when I needed you, what kind of comrade is this?"

Lu Shaotang said indifferently: "I was on a business trip and just came back." He glanced at Zhang Juying, "It's not convenient for you to live together, you can also take the child to live in a single room."

Zhang Juying was happy, and hurried back to the house to pack things, and took her son to change to a single room.

Sure enough, as long as the man comes back, it will be easy, and Brother Yanming will have to recognize her and the child even if he doesn't recognize her!

While the Chen family was busy changing rooms, Lu Shaotang went home to accompany his wife.

In the middle of the night, Chen Erhu suddenly felt colder and colder. He reached out to pull the quilt, but he didn't expect to touch a big, hard hand.

"Who?" Before he could shout, someone covered his mouth and dragged him off the bed.

He wanted to struggle, but a big hand pinched his neck hard, and he passed out.

When he woke up again, he found himself in an interrogation room!

He was handcuffed to a chair, and two uniformed soldiers sat at a table opposite him, one of whom was Xiaozhuang.

"What are you doing--" He wanted to shout, but found that his voice was a little hoarse and he couldn't shout.

Xiao Zhuang said coldly, "Chen Erhu, you are suspected of leaking state secrets. You'd better tell the truth. How did you know where Comrade Chen Yanming works?"

Chen Erhu wanted to cheat, "I want to see Director Lu."

Xiao Zhuang slammed the table, "Chen Erhu! Leaking state secrets means you will be shot. We don't even need to hold a commune meeting to execute you in secret!"

Chen Erhu was so scared that he trembled violently, "It's innocent, it's innocent, I didn't leak it, we received a letter, a letter, yes, a letter, someone told us that my third brother is now a big official, with a lot of money..."

When he heard that he was going to be shot, he was so scared that he had no choice but to confess?
