Chapter 143 Dog bites dog
"Grandma Sheng, look at what you said. How could I dislike it? I am so happy."
Dong Wushuang smiled from ear to ear, "You are new here, so you may not understand the situation of our family. In this family, except for me, everyone is a workaholic."
"My wife has gone to the base. Tunan and Xinyue will go to the island in a few days. Peifeng and Zhixian rarely come back once a month from Huake University. Fuyao comes back every day, but I am asleep when she gets home, and she is still asleep when I am at work. The youngest is in the special forces, and is undergoing long-term closed-door training. The chef leaves after cooking, and I am the only one at home. If you live here, I will have a companion, and I won't be alone at home for a long time without anyone to talk to."
Dong Wushuang sighed helplessly: "My mouth will stink."
"Hahaha." Grandma Sheng was amused by Dong Wushuang. She was not a reserved person and would definitely get along well with the cheerful Dong Wushuang.
Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue were relieved to see that grandma and mom got along well. It was indeed much more convenient for the elderly to stay in Beijing than to go to the island.
After dinner, Dong Wushuang took grandma to the bedroom on the first floor. The old lady's legs and feet were not very good, so it was better for her to live on the first floor. She didn't have to climb up and down and fall.
The room had been tidied up long ago, the quilts and covers were all new, and even the curtains had been washed. The old man was very satisfied and kept saying thank you.
Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue were both tired. After dinner, they did not go for a walk. Instead, they washed up and went to bed.
The young couple caught up on some sleep, and as soon as they got up the next day, they made an appointment with grandfather to go to the headquarters to ask if the spy from Kyoto University had been caught.
After they had breakfast with their grandmother and mother, they walked to the headquarters. Before they reached the door, they saw Grandpa's driver driving over, "Chief Sheng, Comrade Zhan, Elder Wen asked me to take you to the interrogation building."
Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue got into the car, guessing that the spy had been caught.
The driver drove very fast and stopped steadily in front of the interrogation building a few minutes later.
This is a three-story red brick building, three stories high and relatively hidden. It is heavily guarded everywhere, probably to prevent the spy's accomplices from coming to rescue people or silence them.
"Mr. Wen is in the room on the far left of the second floor. Please follow me." The driver got out of the car and led the way. The two followed and went up to the second floor.
The sound insulation of the entire building is very good. When Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan arrived at the door of the interrogation room, they didn't hear any sound at all.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock" the driver knocked on the door, two short and three long.
Ten seconds later, the door opened from the inside.
The voice inside also came out, and Zhan Xinyue heard the roar of a familiar voice.
"What the hell are you qualified to teach me? Who do you think you are? How many times have you seen me since I was born? Bah, if it weren't for my mother raising me with so much hardship, I would have died long ago. I recognize you just to make you a spy."
After Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue entered, they immediately closed the door, isolating all sounds inside the room.
The interrogation room was somewhat dark, with only two bright fluorescent lights shining on Qu Hui and his son. The two sat opposite each other, both handcuffed.
"Grandpa, we are here." Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan walked to Old Man Wen and greeted him softly.
"Yeah." Old Man Wen nodded, pointed at Qu Hui and Qu Zibin, and signaled them to watch the fight between the father and son first.
"I gave you and your mother so much money, isn't it enough for you to spend? Why do you insist on being a spy? Our country has gone through untold hardships to usher in liberation. How can you be worthy of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives by doing this?"
After scolding his son with a look of deep sorrow, Qu Hui turned to Wen Lao and said, "Dad, this matter really has nothing to do with me. Don't you know me? I am just average in ability, but I absolutely love my country and the army. You must believe me, I really didn't know anything. Qu Zibin and I rarely met, except to give him money and fulfill my responsibilities as a father. I really didn't know he was a spy, and it was even more impossible for me to have any contact with enemy agents."
Seeing Qu Hui's face as if he wanted to cut off all ties with Qu Zibin, Zhan Xinyue couldn't help but sneer at him when she thought of the deep father-son love he had shown a few days ago.
I thought Qu Hui loved his son so much, but when it came to his own life and death, he was just that indifferent.
Qu Hui doesn't want to die. His only brother has died of illness. Qu Zibin has committed the crime of treason and will definitely be sentenced to death. Now Qu Hui is the only root of the Qu family!
He is only in his forties this year, and he can still find a good wife and give birth to a son to continue the Qu family's incense, so at the moment, he must put all the responsibilities on Qu Zibin. He must get out alive.
"Hahaha, you speak better than you sing. If you love your country and the army, why did you happily give me all of Sheng Tunan's files just because I said a few words? You even found out the time of his departure and gave it to me too?" Qu Zibin laughed sarcastically.
When they were young, Qu Zibin and Zou Hongmei suffered a lot of contempt in the brigade because the barefoot doctor of the brigade said that his nominal father was infertile. The children in the brigade didn't want to play with him. Whenever Qu Zibin went out, the children in the brigade would throw stones at him, spit on him, and call him a bastard.
Some radical ones even threw feces water on him!
His mother Zou Hongmei was even worse off, she was paraded through the streets with her old shoes hanging on her shoulders, and some bachelors came to harass her from time to time.
At that time, Qu Hui was enjoying a comfortable life in the army and didn't care about them at all. He didn't give anything except money.
Qu Zibin hated his biological father and wanted to kill him since he was a child.
But he was very cunning and acted very sensible and obedient in front of Qu Hui. Qu Zibin had long been fooled by his teacher into becoming a spy. He had obtained a lot of military intelligence from chatting with Qu Hui and sold it to his teacher.
This time, Qu Zibin decided to drag Qu Hui into the water. If successful, he would write a letter of denunciation after going abroad, reporting Qu Hui for treason.
If he fails, he will die together with Qu Bin and be sentenced to death!
"Grandpa, these two people confessed so quickly?" Zhan Xinyue asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's human nature. One of them is a former military commander, and the other is a Beijing University student. They both broke the law knowingly. They are also talents that the country has focused on cultivating. They committed acts of collaborating with the enemy, and they can't escape the death penalty!"
Elder Wen said with emotion: "As soon as you called me, I arranged for someone to control Qu Hui as soon as possible."
"At first, he said nothing. I arranged for people to go directly to Beijing University to arrest Qu Zibin, but he got wind of the situation and ran away. Fortunately, I was careful and arranged for people to guard the train station and bus station."
Ordinary people could not ride on the planes in the 70s, so there was no need to deploy control personnel.
After Qu Zibin sold Sheng Tunan's information, he took the money and prepared to return to his hometown to pick up Zou Hongmei. He planned to sneak into Hong Kong by water, and then take a plane to Jianguo from Hong Kong.
It was at the bus station that Wen’s men captured Qu Zibin.
After Qu Zibin was arrested, he started to play dumb and knew nothing when asked.
He was a student of Beijing University, and torture was not possible without solid evidence. Just when everyone was at a loss, Elder Wen appeared and told Qu Zibin that Qu Hui had confessed everything.
After leaving this sentence, Mr. Wen went straight to find Qu Hui and told him that Qu Zihui had confessed everything and that everything was Qu Hui's idea.
Half an hour later, the two angrily confessed everything they knew. Qu Hui really didn't know much, he just said that he was bewitched by Qu Zibin and told him Sheng Tunan's file and departure time.
Qu Zibin was targeted by the enemy's spy organization as soon as he arrived at the university. Under the lobbying of his teacher, Qu Zibin decided to become a running dog for money and to take revenge on Qu Hui.
At the beginning, the teacher had only one line of contact with him. Later, after Qu Zibin sold accurate intelligence several times, the teacher took him to a gathering of enemy spies at Peking University.
Among them were the student union president, the department head, a security guard and the vice-president, a total of seven people.
Mr. Wen has arrested all seven of them.
"I'm afraid they have something else to say, so I might as well lock them up together and let them fight each other to see if there are any other clues." Old Wen smiled like an old fox.
Then I saw a big fight between a father and his son.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
"Knock, knock, knock," at this time, two short and three long knocks were heard outside the door.
Someone went to open the door.
A middle-aged man in uniform came in, holding a file bag and handed it to Elder Wen: "Elder Wen, those people have confessed. In addition to Beijing University, there are spies in the education systems of several other places. Here are the detailed records. Please take a look."
"Yes." Old Man Wen's eyes narrowed and he took the file bag.
It contained the confessions of seven spies, and Mr. Wen's expression became increasingly uglier.
Qu Hui and his son were still arguing. Elder Wen put away the file bag and said to Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue, "Come with me."
The couple followed Mr. Wen out and went up to an office on the third floor, where someone immediately brought them three cups of tea.
Elder Wen took a sip of tea and handed the document to Sheng Tunan, "You two take a look."
Sheng Tunan took it, spread it out and looked at it with Zhan Xinyue. The more they looked at it, the more they frowned.
"Grandpa, there are actually quite a few of them who are directors of the Education Bureau. And one is..."
Sheng Tunan took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, what should we do now? Should we arrest all these people immediately?"
Mr. Wen did not answer immediately, his face was gloomy and he was obviously thinking.
Zhan Xinyue took the file bag, glanced at the list, and then carefully read the confessions of these people.
One of the questions is, what is the motivation for betraying the country?
Except for one who wanted to avenge his wealthy grandfather who was shot by the People's Liberation Army, the others were because foreign enemy agents gave too much.
After the mission was completed, the enemy agents also promised to help them immigrate. They felt that the living conditions, medical conditions, welfare and environment abroad were much better than those in China.
Moreover, the enemy agents also said that once you become a citizen of their country, you will be given a high-paying job. The monthly salary there is more than what you can earn in China in ten years combined.
In the 50s, domestic university professors only made 70- yuan depending on their rank, and those who were not promoted to professors made even less, only more than yuan. Their annual salary was only - yuan, while overseas people could make - yuan a month. Such a huge gap between the rich and the poor is indeed a huge temptation for those who are not determined.
"Xinyue, did you see the motive for treason in the confession?" Old Wen suddenly stood up and walked behind Zhan Xinyue.
"Yeah." Zhan Xinyue nodded.
"Hey, Tunan, Xinyue," Elder Wen said helplessly, "I feel really sad and ashamed when I look at this list."
"I have received some people on the list. They are all key national training targets, and the state funded them to go abroad. When they came back, I was very pleased because some of them stayed abroad. I didn't expect that they came back to get better treatment abroad and did so many things that hurt and betrayed the country."
"Oh, it's so sad. They are wrong, but it is also a fact that our country is backward and poor. It has been almost 30 years since liberation, and the country is still so backward. We can't even retain the talents we have trained. I am ashamed." Mr. Wen said in a low voice, his eyes full of vicissitudes and helplessness.
"I'm useless." Old Wen paced slowly. He was in charge of economic construction. As a post-war country, other countries were developing rapidly, but China was stagnant.
"Grandpa, even the most developed countries have beasts who betray their country."
Zhan Xinyue comforted him, "This is not entirely because the country is poor. These traitors are disloyal and unfilial, and there is no need to make excuses for them. When they betrayed the country, they didn't even care about their parents and family members. And no matter how poor the country was, it spent a lot of money to send them abroad. They are not grateful or repaying, and they betrayed. These people are bad at heart."
"Our country is very poor now, but there are also many foreign students who return home without hesitation to build our country." Sheng Tunan also followed suit to comfort.
"Well, but poverty is indeed an important reason." The old man sat down on the wooden chair somewhat dejectedly.
"Grandpa, things will get better. As long as reform and opening up begin, our economy will take off like a rocket." Zhan Xinyue is very confident. After all, she is a reborn person.
It was already the end of 1977, and the senior military officers in the compound knew that the country was going to implement reform and opening up. It was no longer a secret.
"Xinyue, do you really think that reform and opening up can lead to rapid economic development?"
Old Wen asked, although Zhan Xinyue was only a girl in her twenties, but through his contact with Zhan Xinyue these days, Old Wen felt that this girl was very smart. Even this time, it was Zhan Xinyue who reminded him to control Qu Hui and his son first, otherwise, Qu Zibin would have run away long ago.
"Grandpa, that's for sure. The people of our country have suffered from poverty for too long. If we open up now and let them do business, the bold ones or those who don't have a stable job will definitely be the first to try. When these people get rich, they will drive more people to do business, and more and more people will get rich."
"Only when people have money can the country's construction get better and better." Zhan Xinyue became more and more engaged in the conversation. According to her memories of her previous life, in order to avoid the first batch of people being robbed and killed by lawless criminals after they became rich, Zhan Xinyue made a suggestion to Old Wen.
"Grandpa, I have two suggestions. One is to help those who want to do business, and the other is to maintain public order."
"What do you mean?" Old Man Wen became interested and took out the notebook he carried with him to write it down.
"Grandpa, now the people in our country generally have no money. The first batch of people who want to do business can only start small and accumulate original capital, but it is too slow. I think the country can let banks lend money to people who really do business and run enterprises. No interest will be charged, and the term is one year. After one year of borrowing, if you still want to borrow, you can pay it back and then borrow it out. Each person has a maximum of three interest-free opportunities. Of course, the loan is conditional. For example, you must have a friend who works in a state-owned unit to guarantee it, or use fixed assets as collateral. The purpose of this is to prevent some people who love leisure and hate work from defrauding loans without working for them."
