Chapter 165 Something big has happened!
The next day, Cheng Zheng was woken up by Jin Song.
Jin Song had just gone to work in the morning when he received a call from Beijing looking for Cheng Zheng. The voice on the other end sounded quite anxious, so he didn't dare delay and quickly went back to wake Cheng Zheng up.
"It's from Beijing. It seems something happened. You should come to my workplace to pick me up right away."
Cheng Zheng's face darkened. He quickly washed up and tidied himself up before following Jin Song to the workplace.
I had barely sat down when the phone rang again.
"Representative, something terrible has happened!" The assistant's voice was urgent and hoarse, and the panic could be heard even through the receiver. "Comrade Shen Qing has been reported as an enemy agent. It's said that she stole confidential information from the factory and has already fled abroad! You need to come back immediately!"
Cheng Zheng tightened his grip on the microphone, but his voice remained calm: "What exactly happened? Who reported it?"
"It was an anonymous report. The situation is a bit complicated now. They're saying Comrade Shen Qing is impersonating someone else and isn't the real Shen Qing. An investigation team has been sent to the factory, specifically looking for you. You should come back quickly!"
"I understand. I'll buy the ticket and go back right away."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Zheng stood there, his face cold and stern.
Seeing that he wasn't in a good mood, Jin Song quickly asked, "Is there an emergency at work that you need to deal with?"
"Yes, we have to go back immediately." Cheng Zheng's expression was solemn.
"Then you can go back without worry." Jin Song patted his shoulder. "I'll help you find a wife. I'll go to Guangzhou tomorrow."
"Thanks, brother." Cheng Zheng looked at him with a serious expression in his eyes.
He remembered this favor.
I will definitely pay it back in the future.
"No need to thank me," Jin Song thought, more than happy to owe him a favor. "Your business is my business. It's not easy for you to find a girl you like, so I definitely have to help you get her back!"
Cheng Zheng bought the fastest ticket back to Beijing that day.
He had just returned to the factory and hadn't even had time to put down his luggage when the investigation team invited him into their office.
There were three people sitting in the office, two men and one woman, all dressed in Zhongshan suits, with serious expressions. Several documents were spread out on the table, and on top of them was an opened letter; the handwriting was so familiar that it made his heart tighten.
The man in the middle immediately turned the letter upside down to block his view.
"Comrade Cheng Zheng," the man began, his voice serious and detached, carrying a businesslike tone, "are you aware of the report that your fiancée impersonated someone else and stole technical data?"
Cheng Zheng sat there, his back ramrod straight.
He originally wanted to keep it a secret for Lin Shuyao, but the matter had obviously blown up, and trying to cover it up might cause unnecessary misunderstandings, which would be even more detrimental to her.
He frankly admitted, "I only learned about the identity theft a few days ago. Comrade Lin Shuyao did indeed impersonate Comrade Shen Qing to work at Factory 306, but she did not do so to steal technical data. The so-called enemy agent identity is malicious slander."
"Why are you so sure?" The man who asked the question stared at him sharply.
Cheng Zheng met the other person's gaze head-on, his presence even more imposing than the other's. He calmly said:
"Because I just came back from investigating this matter in Yuncheng. Comrade Lin Shuyao and Comrade Shen Qing are from the same hometown and were also educated youth from the same village. They had a good relationship. However, Comrade Lin Shuyao's family favored sons over daughters and she had long been treated unfairly by her family. They even forced her to return to the city to get married. She wanted to get rid of her original family and change her fate, so she had a mental breakdown and went astray, taking Comrade Shen Qing's identity."
He paused, looking at the expressions of the three people, and continued, "But she suddenly realized her mistake halfway through and confessed it to me. I was just preparing to write a report to explain to the organization, and before I could, you called me here."
There is a significant difference in sentencing between active and passive offenses, so Cheng Zheng must do his best to minimize Lin Shuyao's mistakes.
His words did indeed intimidate the two young investigators, who remained silent. However, the older, more cunning man in the middle quickly seized upon a loophole: "You said Comrade Lin Shuyao voluntarily confessed to you. How did she confess? When? Where? What exactly did she say?"
If Cheng Zheng lies and actually answers the time and place, he will have completely fallen into the old fox's trap, because he is currently holding the letter that Lin Shuyao sent to him before she left. This letter is enough to prove that Lin Shuyao did not confess to him in person and refuted Cheng Zheng's lie. As a result, everything he said on her behalf earlier will be immediately questioned.
