Chapter 595: Pulling Up a Radish Brings Out the Mud

~4 min read 743 words

Colonel Kong naturally understood the meaning of his words, exchanged a glance with Deputy Colonel Gong beside him: "I think it's feasible. Let's go report to the Division Commander later and discuss the next steps."

Fu Yan Cheng nodded lightly, scanning the items on the table: "What are these?"

Deputy Colonel Gong opened the coarse cloth bags, gesturing for him to look.

After Fu Yan Cheng saw what was inside, a wave of post-fear washed over him.

He reached out and took one out: "Where were they found?"

"In the corner of the Communication Company's warehouse."

Hearing him say this, his heart became even clearer; he recalled the words Ma Wuliang had shouted at Shen Yanru earlier: "Isn't it better to be an honest person?"

Now, regardless of the reason, since she had brought these things in, she could not escape guilt: "The person has been brought back. Arrange for someone to interrogate her."

The items in these bags looked small, but once they exploded, the power would not be small. Regardless of whether they only intended to cause destruction or had other purposes, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The group, without stopping, took the items straight to Division Commander Zheng.

An hour later, the group came out of Division Commander Zheng's office and went to complete their respective tasks.

Fu Yan Cheng went directly to the Communication Company, first interrogating Shen Yanru.

Shen Yanru looked at the man she had once admired in the past; first, a wave of bitterness filled her heart, followed by hatred.

Yes, it was hatred—hatred for herself, and hatred for Fu Yan Cheng. She hated that she had acted too hastily, thus ruining her own future. If not for this transfer of post, even if she could not win Fu Yan Cheng, she could have chosen someone else.

She would not have been targeted and then used.

Only after being captured did she finally understand the stakes involved.

She realized that meeting that man was no coincidence; he had likely been targeted long ago.

At this point, she even hated herself. If she had not been so vain, she would not have ended up here.

Looking again at the man across from her with a cold face, she also hated him. If not for him, she would not have done those things, nor would she have thrown herself away.

Even knowing she had no future, she still did not want to die. So, without Fu Yan Cheng needing to use any methods, she confessed everything, point by point.

From her confession, they obtained a very important piece of information: when those items were brought in, one of the guards on duty at the entrance booth was named Hao Chengming.

Soon, Hao Chengming was secretly brought over. After a session of intimidation and interrogation, pulling up the radish brought out the mud.

One person from the Logistics Department was also dragged out.

Afterwards, through a combination of soft and hard tactics, using the information provided by that man, and then through that radio station...

Deputy Colonel Gong led the team and quickly dismantled several enemy spy dens.

Without exception, those places were not far from the military district. It seemed their guess was correct; this time, those people had grand designs. If Liu Chuxue had not discovered it in time, and if Fu Yan Cheng's vigilance had not been high enough to risk tracking and discover the irregularities, the consequences were unthinkable.

On the other side, Liu Chuxue and the others had already completed their mission in Changchun and were taking a car to Anshan.

Originally, they were going to go to Shenyang, but since the problem had been resolved by Wang Changzheng over the phone, they bought tickets directly to Anshan.

Speaking of Anshan, in the 1970s, it was the cradle of China's steel industry. In the 1950s, it was under direct central government management.

She remembered watching a documentary in her past life: in 1978, Anshan's GDP ranked fourteenth in the nation, first among ordinary prefecture-level cities. It had once entered the top five nationwide, being one of the top twenty cities in the country at the time. What concept was that?

It was the first and last city in the nation after liberation to build a tram system, just to facilitate the commute of Angang Steel workers and the travel of citizens. One need not think to know how prosperous Anshan was at that time.
