There was a rage in Lu Chen's eyes, but soon his expression returned to normal and he gestured to Cheng Mingyue to open the door.
Cheng Mingyue opened the gate and saw a large group of people standing outside, and her eyes narrowed.
What a grand ceremony!
Cheng Mingyue first glanced at Cheng Xiangchun who was standing at the door, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips, then looked at Li Yunsheng, Director Liu, and a middle-aged man she didn't know.
"Officer Li, Director Liu, what are you doing today?"
Li Yunsheng touched his nose somewhat unnaturally, and did not answer Cheng Mingyue's question. Instead, he pointed to the middle-aged man next to him and introduced:
"Comrade Cheng, this is Director Zheng from the Educated Youth Office."
Cheng Mingyue enthusiastically called out, "Hello, Director Zheng!"
Then he repeated the previous question: "What's the matter with you coming to my house?"
Director Zheng looked Cheng Mingyue up and down. He saw that she had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and was wearing a snow-white dress. Her whole body was glowing white. Her black hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her hair flew when she moved, adding a bit of youthful beauty.
What is advocated in this era is simplicity, and girls with better looks often have to face a lot of doubts, especially Director Zheng, the director of the Youth League Office.
Logically speaking, he often dealt with those educated youth and should be used to seeing girls with outstanding looks, but in reality, this was not the case. Director Zheng was very conservative in his thinking and what he disliked most were girls who dressed up beautifully.
As a result, Director Zheng had a very bad first impression of Cheng Mingyue.
He frowned and looked at Cheng Mingyue, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, but he still tried his best to pretend to be businesslike.
"We've received a report and are now searching your home."
Cheng Mingyue did not miss Director Zheng's gaze, but she did not care. She stood in front of the door and asked:
"Director Zheng, I don't know who reported me to you, and what crime they accused me of? I can't let my house be searched without my knowledge, right?!"
Director Zheng didn't expect that Cheng Mingyue could still ask him this question calmly at this time, and he couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
Because of this thought, he patiently explained to Cheng Mingyue:
"It was your aunt, Comrade Cheng Xiangchun, who reported you. She reported that your family was secretly storing reactionary letters.
We received a report and naturally came to investigate the truth."
Cheng Mingyue glanced at Cheng Xiangchun with a half-smile:
"Aunt, you said we had reactionary letters hidden in our house. How did you, an illiterate person, know that they were reactionary letters? May I ask?!"
Cheng Xiangchun didn't know how to answer, so he just shouted:
"Fei Ya, although I can't read or write, I have a heart as red as the sun. Today, I will sacrifice my relatives for the sake of justice. I will never let you do anything that is detrimental to the country!"
Cheng Mingyue laughed even more happily, and raised her voice to say to the people who came:
"See? Comrade Cheng Xiangchun shouted slogans loudly, but his speech was illogical and he kept talking about irrelevant things.
I asked her how an illiterate person knew that it was a reactionary letter, but she avoided the question. Don’t you think this is strange?”
Director Zheng originally thought that Cheng Mingyue had some courage, but now he saw her being so aggressive that Cheng Xiangchun was so scared that she hid behind him, and he became angry again.
"Comrade Cheng, if you have any reactionary letters at home, we'll find out if we go in and search.
You'd better get out of the way quickly and don't let us do anything, it will be very embarrassing."
"It's no problem to move aside, but what if there are no reactionary letters found in my house?"
Cheng Mingyue stared at Director Zheng intently, her voice strong and powerful, completely different from when she was crying in Lu Chen's arms last night.
Director Zheng was so angry that he laughed at Cheng Mingyue's words.
He had worked in the Youth League Office for so many years, and no one had ever dared to speak to him like that. He couldn't help but ask back:
"So what do you think we should do?"
Cheng Mingyue calmly pointed at Cheng Xiangchun, who was hiding behind Director Zheng.
"Since it was my aunt who reported it..."
Before Cheng Mingyue could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Chen, who was standing beside her. His deep voice rang in her ears:
"Since it was my aunt who reported us, we'll let you in and search. If you can't find anything, we'll apply to search my aunt's house as well."
Director Zheng looked at Lu Chen, and his eyes shrank at the first sight, and then he immediately agreed to his proposal:
"Okay! Let's do it!"
Even Cheng Xiangchun, who was huddled behind Director Zheng, looked nonchalant.
"Search if you want. My family is clean, unlike yours, who are full of reactionaries."
When Director Zheng saw that Cheng Xiangchun also agreed, he said to Li Yunsheng and Director Liu:
"Let's go in and search together!"
Officer Li and Director Liu first glanced at Cheng Mingyue, and seeing that she looked normal, they led their men into the courtyard.
While everyone was searching, the village chief and his men hurried over.
When he saw so many people in the yard, he felt uneasy. He approached Cheng Mingyue and asked in a low voice:
"Yue'er, what's going on?"
"They were brought by my aunt." Cheng Mingyue shrugged.
With just this one sentence, the village chief understood.
If he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart yesterday, he was now completely disappointed with Cheng Xiangchun.
He was not only disappointed, he even wanted to kill Cheng Xiangchun.
He glared at Cheng Xiangchun fiercely and looked at Cheng Mingyue with some worry.
