Chapter 69: Ruthless Li Ying

~7 min read 1,400 words

At this time, at Master Liu's house, Li Ying was distracted. When cooking, she either added the wrong salt or forgot to add water.

Looking at the burnt rice, Master Liu sighed, "Forget it, let's cook some noodles."

Li Ying didn't refute and silently took out the noodles. This time, they were cooked well.

However, several police officers took her and Master Liu away.

Left behind were the wailing little daughter and the two sons who were at a loss.

On June 9, 1975, in the military industrial compound, this noon was truly not peaceful.

Third Aunt, who wanted to atone for her crimes, confessed a major event: Liu Yu's memory was correct; it was Li Ying who drowned Liu Yu's mother.

Third Aunt saw it with her own eyes, and then she went to find Li Ying, threatening her for benefits.

Li Ying said she had no money, and then the two conspired to sell Liu Xia to a family in the mountains of the Northwest.

No matter how much money was sold, it all belonged to Third Aunt.

This was something everyone had never expected.

There was no such thing as a military couple; they were all Third Aunt's accomplices.

In the afternoon, Lu Qiaoge and Director Hu summarized the information in the Security Department.

Unexpectedly, they received even more shocking news: Li Ying couldn't hold up under interrogation. She confessed that she not only killed Chai Xiaoyan but also killed her first husband.

It was truly one wave after another, finally alarming the factory director and the secretary.

The afternoon production meeting was stopped.

Relevant personnel went to the Security Department because Li Ying confessed that her first husband was a local spy.

"... Was I wrong to kill him? He forged his identity and used my father to enter the military factory. He also tricked me into having two children with him. He used sweet words and vows with me, but he didn't show any mercy when using me and my father." Li Ying's voice was full of hatred.

Section Chief Jia of the Security Department was in the reconnaissance company in his early years. The file in his hand was the relevant case of the research institute suffering a fire eleven years ago and losing important design drawings for a new type of engine.

The main core designer, that top power energy tycoon in the Long Kingdom and even the world, that scientist who was dedicated to serving the motherland, inhaled too much carbon monoxide while rescuing the data, leading to a decline in intelligence. Now, not to mention researching topics, he couldn't even take care of his daily life.

One of the suspects was still in prison, and the other had committed suicide.

Director He also fell ill because of this.

Who could have thought, who could have thought!

The interrogators were terrified.

Those listening in the outside observation room, including Lu Qiaoge, were also shocked.

Oh my god, this is a tough person.

Actually, after discovering that her husband was a local spy, she didn't choose to expose him but handled it herself.

Section Chief Jia asked with suppressed anger, "Why didn't you expose him and let the organization handle it?"

Li Ying smiled coldly, "If I exposed him, he would be a local spy, and my son's life would be over. But if he died, it would be fine. Once and for all, no one would know."

"... How did he steal the drawings?"

Li Ying said, "He tricked Engineer Tao's wife. As for how he tricked her, I don't know either. You have to go ask Engineer Tao's wife to know."

Section Chief Jia asked calmly with suppressed excitement and resentment, "Where are the drawings? Do you know? Li Ying, if you confess honestly, we will definitely arrange for your three children."

Li Ying was originally full of hatred, but hearing this, she trembled all over, and then tears flowed down her face.

She was silent for a long time and said, "That dead ghost put the drawings in the bookcase. I never dared to move them, nor did I dare to take them out, but I didn't destroy them either. It doesn't matter if I live or die, as long as you promise me, you must arrange for my children. Otherwise, even if I die, I won't tell you."

Lu Qiaoge clenched her hands.

Oh my god, it all came together this time.

The drawings in the bookcase at the waste collection station came from this.

However, there were still many doubts here. The mice said it was Engineer Tao's wife's narrow-mindedness that did the bad thing. So, who sold the bookcase to the waste collection station?

Lu Qiaoge remained calm and continued to listen, but she knew that today's bookcase should be handed over.

Really didn't expect it.

Although everyone desperately wanted to get the drawings because that was the tycoon's life's work, even if eleven years had passed, it was still precious for now.

But the more this was the case, the less it could be shown.

Otherwise, Li Ying's conditions would be even more.

The people listening outside already included Director He.

At this time, her hand was tightly placed on her heart, and her eyes were tightly fixed on Li Ying in the isolation window.

Everything around her seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Section Chief Jia sighed, "Eleven years, are you sure the drawings are still drawings and haven't had other accidents?"

Li Ying paused, but her eyes flashed, and she said, "As long as you promise to arrange for my three children, I will tell you where the things are. The drawings are not damaged. There is a mechanism in the bookcase. Outside is that kind of special moisture-proof wrapping paper. More than a week ago, I saw the bookcase sitting there safe and sound."

Old Jia had discussed with the leaders in advance where their bottom line was, but they couldn't let the other party be suspicious. Although Li Ying was a woman, her psychological quality was very strong, and she could be considered ruthless. If Third Aunt hadn't been caught, it was estimated that she might not have been caught until she died.

Section Chief Jia coughed and asked Li Ying seriously, "To what extent do you want us to do?"

Li Ying pondered for a long time before sneering and saying, "I'm in trouble. My eldest son definitely won't continue to be an apprentice. Old Liu is soft-hearted and has no fatherly heart for his children. He won't treat the daughter I had with him well. No matter what situation he falls into, he will hate me and even vent his anger on my children. As long as you promise me to send my three children away and let them change their names, I don't ask for great wealth, as long as they are safe, I will tell you where the drawings are immediately and how to get them out."

Section Chief Jia pondered for a moment and said, "I will discuss it with the leaders."

Section Chief Jia walked out and looked at the several leaders outside.

Factory Director Hao looked at Director He.

Director He said with a trembling voice, "Try your best to meet her requirements. The drawings are really important. Not to mention those eight years, just in these three years, we have spent countless efforts, but we have never been able to overcome the core part of the engine..."

Director He paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Our current engine lacks power, consumes a lot of fuel, and has low efficiency. It simply cannot be compared with foreign advanced technology."

"Especially the problem of turbine blade materials. Foreign engines can work for a long time under high temperature and high pressure, while our materials simply can't hold up and deform or even break at every turn."

Director He said seriously, "Originally, our independent research and development was about to succeed, but it was destroyed by the local spy. No matter what, the drawings must be obtained."

Factory Director Hao and Secretary He had no objections, and Qin Heng nodded.

It could be promised.

As for Director Hu and Lu Qiaoge, no one asked for their opinions.

In fact, when the drawings were interrogated, Director Hu and Lu Qiaoge should have gone out. *** **CHAPTER 70**
