Chapter 117 Looking for Evidence of Collaboration
Sheng Tunan's hearing was not as good as his wife's. Seeing that Zhan Xinyue seemed to be listening thoughtfully, he asked, "Xinyue, who is Mom talking to?"
"Ling Kong's mother," Zhan Xinyue said, "She wants to invite me to visit the Ling family."
Sheng Tunan's whole body was tense, and he asked hurriedly, "What did mom say?"
"Mom said she wanted to ask for my opinion." Zhan Xinyue replied.
On the first floor, Zheng Jie heard Dong Wushuang's words, and he was not unhappy. He just nodded and said lightly: "Okay." After that, he turned around and left without even saying hello.
Zheng Jie didn't want her son to find a married woman in the first place, and if Ling Kong hadn't persuaded her, she wouldn't have bothered to come out in the hot sun.
Now that the topic has been brought up, Zheng Jie will not force Zhan Xinyue to go or not.
Dong Wushuang looked at Zheng Jie's slender back, closed the gate, and rolled his eyes silently. He whispered, "Tsk, what kind of person is this? Can the Marshal's lover be so rude?"
When passing by the trash can, Dong Wushuang directly threw the half-broken Feizishao into it.
Zheng Jie's mother was the fifth concubine of a warlord. Before liberation, she was quite wealthy and supported her to go to college. Later, the warlord died and her mother ran away. Zheng Jie was left alone. She did not want to bring trouble to her college sweetheart, so she took the initiative to break up with him. She married a poor peasant with tuberculosis under an assumed name, and registered her household registration in the countryside, becoming a poor peasant herself.
Later, when the People's Liberation Army went to the countryside, Ling Feng fell in love with Zheng Jie at first sight.
As luck would have it, Zheng Jie's husband who was suffering from tuberculosis died on this day!
Zheng Jie became a widow. Ling Feng gave some money to the parents of the tuberculosis man and took Zheng Jie back to the capital.
From a rich girl to having nothing, Zheng Jie experienced her darkest moment. She lived in the countryside for a year and suffered from having no money and no supplies.
Even after she married Ling Feng and lived a life of ease and comfort, she was still very frugal. Of course, she was even more stingy with other people.
The bag of lychees brought here today was a gift from someone to Ling Feng. Zheng Jie couldn't bear to eat them, so she only ate a little bit every day, and ended up getting sick in the hot weather. She was afraid that she would get a stomachache after eating them, so she brought them to Dong Wushuang.
Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan went downstairs and saw Feizixiao in the trash can, "Mom, why did you throw away the lychees?"
Dong Wushuang said disdainfully, "More than half of them are broken. Zheng Jie is so shameless that she dares to give away broken things."
"By the way, Zheng Jie wants to invite you to her house, and I want to ask for your opinion." Dong Wushuang continued: "But I suggest you don't go."
"Why?" Shen Min'e was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper while waiting for dinner. When he heard his wife's words, he put the newspaper away and asked curiously.
"Zheng Jie is too stingy. If we go to her house and get some rotten fruits for Xinyue to eat, what if she gets sick?"
"Pfft," Zhan Xinyue was amused by her mother-in-law.
Sheng Tunan had a serious look on his face. Just now upstairs, Zhan Xinyue suggested going to the Ling family alone to see if there was a chance to go to the study, find the basement, and find evidence of Ling Feng's treason and becoming emperor.
Sheng Tunan wanted to go together, but Zhan Xinyue disagreed. If the two of them went together, Lingkong would definitely be on high alert and would definitely not be able to enter the study.
This was the first time the couple had a disagreement since they got married.
"Mom, since she has invited me, I might as well go." Several people had already sat at the table. Zhan Xinyue finished a bowl of soup and spoke.
Shen Min'e said: "Xinyue, if you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't force yourself. Marshal Ling Feng may have a bad temper, but he won't cause trouble to our family because of such a small matter."
As the father of the hydrogen bomb, Shen Min'e is still confident.
Sheng Tunan nodded. He didn't want his wife to take any risks without a thorough plan.
Zhan Xinyue also knew that this trip was dangerous and would not act rashly. She nodded and said, "I'll think about it carefully."
It was another dinner with only four people. The fifth child went to closed training again. The fourth and second children were both in Huazhong University of Science and Technology. They called at noon and said that they were very busy recently and could not come back on Sunday.
Shen Fuyao is busier at night than during the day and rarely goes home for dinner.
Master Chen’s food was naturally delicious, but Shen Tunan and Zhan Xinyue were preoccupied and didn’t eat much, so some food was left over.
Dong Wushuang put the leftovers in the refrigerator, planning to heat them up tomorrow and have them for breakfast.
Just as I finished cleaning up, the phone rang.
Shen Min'e got up and went to the study to answer the phone, and came out a minute later with a smile on his face.
"It was Mr. Wen who called and said he would come to our house this Sunday afternoon, which is three days later."
Dong Wushuang was startled and was about to ask why Mr. Wen came? Suddenly he remembered that Zhan Xinyue had saved Wen Mingxuan, and immediately smiled and said, "Then I have to prepare some good food early."
After that, he mocked Zheng Jie again: "Zheng Jie is even more arrogant than Old Wen. She thanked people and even asked our Xinyue to go to her house. Tsk tsk, if you don't know, you would think she is the queen in the palace."
Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan looked at each other. Zheng Jie knew Ling Feng’s plan. He just treated herself as the queen.
"Dad, Mom, we're a little tired these two days. Xinyue and I won't go for a walk. Let's go upstairs and rest first." Sheng Tunan had something on his mind and wanted to have a good talk with Zhan Xinyue.
"Okay. Take the ice upstairs and remember to turn on the fan." Dong Wushuang took the ice out of the refrigerator, poured it into a small bucket and handed it to Sheng Tunan.
"Thank you, Mom." Sheng Tunan took it with both hands and went back to the room with Zhan Xinyue.
I had just finished dinner and was a little sweaty. Zhan Xinyue likes cleanliness and doesn't like the sticky feeling, so she took her pajamas and took a shower first.
When he came out again, Sheng Tunan had already turned on the fan and placed ice cubes on the ground, emitting a slight cool breeze.
Zhan Xinyue felt refreshed instantly and sighed comfortably.
"It's not worse than air conditioning. The main thing is that you don't need to close the windows when you turn on the fan, and the air circulation is more comfortable than staying in an air-conditioned room."
Sheng Tunan picked up a piece of watermelon with a small fork and handed it to Zhan Xinyue: "Wife, eat some watermelon. Mom just brought it to you. She said it's a new variety developed by Academician Wu from Xinjiang. It's especially sweet."
Zhan Xinyue took it and found a large bowl of sliced watermelon on the dressing table. She took a bite, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to eat all in her hand.
"It's so sweet, sweeter than the seedless watermelons I ate in my previous life."
"Yes," Sheng Tunan nodded. "When my father was developing hydrogen bombs in the Gobi Desert, he met Wu Baozhu, an academician of the local Academy of Agricultural Sciences. So far, she has cultivated more than 20 varieties of watermelons. Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, long sunshine hours, and the soil is also suitable for growing watermelons. Coupled with the careful cultivation of Academician Wu Baozhu, it is particularly sweet."
Zhan Xinyue ate two more pieces and nodded, "I know this. It was Academician Wu who realized the watermelon freedom for the Chinese people."
In his previous life, Zhan Xinyue worked in foreign trade business. He went abroad to buy watermelons, only to find out that watermelons abroad were extremely expensive.
The watermelon was delicious. After the two finished eating the watermelon, Sheng Tunan sent the plates downstairs and came up to take a shower. The couple lay on the bed and began to plan how to deal with Ling Feng and his son.
"Tunan," Zhan Xinyue leaned on her husband's shoulder, "I've thought about it and I think I have to go to the Ling family."
"Too risky!" Sheng Tunan disagreed. "Boss Wen will come to our house the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, we can just report Ling Feng for collaborating with the enemy. With our report, Boss Wen can search his house openly. By then, I will hint that there is a secret passage under the study. With the evidence, the Ling family will be finished!"
Zhan Xinyue frowned slightly, thinking about the possibility of reporting it. After thinking about it again and again, she still felt that it was inappropriate.
"In his previous life, Ling Feng hid the evidence of the crime in his study. But it's only 1977 now, and there are still four years until 1981. What if Ling Feng's family doesn't have these things at this time? If we report it rashly and fail to find anything, not only will we alert the enemy, but our parents will also be implicated by us."
After all, Ling Feng is a genuine war hero. If he reports a hero, he will be imprisoned for at least a few years, and his entire family will be investigated.
"Tunan, how about this. Isn't Elder Wen coming the day after tomorrow in the afternoon? I plan to go to the Ling family after lunch the day after tomorrow to see if I can find a chance to go to the study."
"It's too dangerous. I'm still worried."
Zhan Xinyue turned over and lay in Sheng Tunan's arms, her beautiful almond eyes filled with determination.
"Hubby, I will protect myself well. I'll go to the Lings' house after lunch. Even if Ling Kong has any dirty ideas, he can't do it right away. If I don't come out within two hours, you can bring Elder Wen to find me."
Sheng Tunan frowned, and Zhan Xinyue continued: "I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, proficient in pharmacology. And after my rebirth, my sense of smell is particularly sensitive. If Lingkong gives me drugs, I can smell it."
"Besides, I also know how to use poison. Tomorrow I will go to Uncle Qian to buy some herbs and make some homemade poison. This way it will be foolproof."
Sheng Tunan had no better solution. He didn't want his wife to take risks, but he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
"Xinyue, you must be very careful. If you encounter something wrong, come out immediately."
"Well, I promise to be careful."
Zhan Xinyue stretched out her right pinky finger, and then grasped Sheng Tunan's pinky finger with her left hand, interlacing the two fingers, "Let's make a promise and never lie to each other for a hundred years."
Sheng Tunan also said it, and after they finished speaking, they put their thumbs together to stamp their agreement.
"Okay, now tell me where is the switch of the secret passage in Ling Feng's study?" Zhan Xinyue got out of bed and asked Sheng Tunan to draw a picture for her.
In his previous life, Ling Feng's fall into the sea caused a sensation in the army. Officers above the regimental level were organized to visit Ling Feng's home in batches to strengthen cadre education and prevent another Ling Feng from appearing.
Sheng Tunan has an amazing memory, and the secret passage was very large and spacious, so Sheng Tunan still remembers it vividly.
Half an hour later, Sheng Tunan drew the blueprint of the Ling family's study in detail.
"Xinyue, look, the mechanism is behind this painting." Sheng Tunan said, "This painting is a portrait of a great man."
Zhan Xinyue: "How ironic, the mechanism behind the great man is opened, but it hides the weapon that wants to kill him."
"It was precisely because of this portrait of the great man that the people who went to search for it were in awe and did not dare to touch it. The year after Ling Feng's death, the great man personally ordered all the belongings in his house to be confiscated, including his portrait, and only then did they discover that there was a mechanism."
It seems that Ling Feng is not only good at fighting, but also understands people's hearts.
Zhan Xinyue looked at the drawing carefully, folded the paper, took out paper and pen, and drew a picture.
She drew faster. Twenty minutes later, she finished the drawing and handed it to Sheng Tunan: "Take a look and see if it's different from what you drew?"
Sheng Tunan unfolded the two pieces of paper, spread them flat on the dressing table, and compared them carefully as if finding a mistake. Except that the lines drawn by Zhan Xinyue were thinner, the structure and layout were exactly the same.
"Wife, you are a genius. You remember everything after just one look!"
"Hehe, in addition to my photographic memory, my kung fu and strength have also become dozens of times stronger. And my five senses are much better than before. Maybe this is the golden finger of my rebirth."
Zhan Xinyue crumpled the two drawings into a ball, put one in each hand, and gently squeezed them, turning them into pieces.
"How is it? Is my strength okay?" Zhan Xinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and there seemed to be stars in her almond-shaped eyes, shining brightly.
Sheng Tunan gave a thumbs up, his wife was indeed very strong. His heart was relieved a little, but he still prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the gods and Buddhas in the sky would help him and bless his Xinyue to come back unscathed the day after tomorrow!
Three days was a short time and passed in a flash.
During these three days, Zhan Xinyue boiled Chinese medicine for her father-in-law to treat diabetes once in the morning and once in the evening. After Shen Ming'e drank it three times, he felt much better.
Because of the excess sugar in his body, Shen Min'e's skin used to be a little itchy. But after taking the medicine three times, the itching was gone.
Shen Min'e was pleasantly surprised and even more convinced of his daughter-in-law's medical skills. Upon learning that she was going to return to the island to open a clinic in the future, he wrote letters overnight to the scientific researchers he had a good relationship with, asking them to go to Huanyu Island to find a miracle doctor named Zhan Xinyue during their vacation.
These people work late at night all year round, and some are often exposed to nuclear radiation. They have more or less illnesses. They either don't take any vacations, or if they do, it's a long vacation of at least a month, which gives them time to seek medical treatment.
Zhan Xinyue didn't know that her father-in-law had taken several orders for her. In the past three days, in addition to making medicine for Shen Ming'e, she went to Uncle Qian to buy a lot of herbs. After coming back, she put several conflicting medicines together and ground them into several kinds of poison powder in case of emergency.
In addition, Zhan Xinyue also made some heart-protecting pills and other medicinal pills that could be sold later.
Sunday soon arrived. After lunch, Zhan Xinyue prepared to set off with heart-protecting pills, poison and a dagger.
Sheng Tunan was reluctant to leave and wanted to go with Zhan Xinyue, but he had to wait for Old Wen to come. If Zhan Xinyue didn't come out after two hours, he would have to take Old Wen to the Ling family to rescue people.
"Wife, this is a bag of chili powder." Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue walked out of the yard, came to a remote corner, and handed a paper bag to Zhan Xinyue.
"Okay." Zhan Xinyue put the chili powder and poison in a pocket.
"The time is now 1:20 p.m." Sheng Tunan raised his wrist to look at his Rolex watch. "If you are not home by 3:10, I will take Elder Wen to the Lings' house."
"Okay." Zhan Xinyue hugged Sheng Tunan and whispered in his ear, "Hubby, I will protect myself. I want to be with you for many, many more years!"
Sheng Tunan felt so soft in his heart that he hugged Zhan Xinyue tightly.
He thought sinisterly in his heart that if Zhan Xinyue couldn't come back this time, he would kill Ouyang Fangfei again!
For his wife, he would do anything!
Even if it means killing people and setting fires, I will not hesitate!
