Travel through famine years and awaken a post-apocalyptic survival system.

……

Walking down the street, Gao Dazhi suddenly remembered something and chuckled, "Oh, by the way, I asked around about Shen Wanqing. That girl just graduated this year, she's 18, and she doesn't have a boyfriend yet!"

These words made Zhao Qingsong's eyes light up.

However, what the other person said next made him frown.

"However, Shen Wanqing's family is not simple! She is the daughter of the deputy director of our factory in charge of logistics, and her situation is somewhat special."

"Oh, she has that kind of background! Is the situation a bit special?"

Zhao Qingsong was surprised.

Damn, I finally found someone I liked, but it turns out she's the son of a big shot.

The steel plant is a high-level facility, and the deputy director's rank wouldn't be low either. Such a person would be a leader in the industrial bureau.

Social classes have existed in every era.

It's normal for people to marry someone of similar social standing. If he had a higher education, he might have a chance, but he's just an ordinary person.

He was just a young man from the countryside who hadn't even graduated from junior high school and had just started working in the factory.

There is indeed a huge gap.

Of course, he wasn't being self-deprecating either; in the future, what kind of woman wouldn't he have?

Gao Dazhi nodded: "Yes, the situation is a bit special. Shen Wanqing's mother passed away early, and she was brought to live with us after the liberation. She has a stepmother, two older brothers and sisters, and a younger brother."

Zhao Qingsong was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Stepmother?"

"yes."

Zhao Qingsong pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

He nodded slightly.

He didn't really care about Shen Wanqing's identity.

This is not unusual in this day and age; many people marry college graduates.

Of course, it is relatively rare to see a widow with children like this.

Gao Dazhi hummed in agreement, then, as if remembering something, said, "By the way, she might not be up to it. I heard from Director Chen that her stepmother's brother works at the city's Industrial Bureau, and apparently one of the bureau's leaders' children has taken a liking to her and they're trying to set her up! Especially her stepmother."

Zhao Qingsong frowned slightly.

I can understand it; she's paving the way for her son!

Seeing his expression, Gao Dazhi smiled and said, "It's okay. When there's a chance in the future, I'll have your sister-in-law introduce you to a good one."

"Okay, sure!"

Zhao Qingsong agreed with a smile.

I don't really care.

The two hurried towards the department together.

……

After the two left, Chen Li and Shen Wanqing chatted idly.

Chen Li looked at Shen Wanqing and teased her, "Wanqing, you've been here for almost half a year, and my clinic has been so crowded with patients! There weren't nearly this many people coming to see me before!"

"Sister Chen~~ How could you say that!"

Shen Wanqing understood the meaning behind her words and complained shyly.

"Hehe, did I say something wrong? Since you arrived, quite a few people have been asking me about you! And look... someone asked again today!"

"Huh? Who is it now!"

Shen Wanqing asked helplessly.

Seeing this, Chen Li teased, "So this is Zhao, the clerk from today! This kid's got guts; he dared to ask around about you on our first meeting."

After saying that, he gently nudged her with his shoulder: "How does this kid look?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanqing recalled the young man Chen Li had mentioned.

He then shook his head: "Sister Chen, I don't really like this."

"Huh? Why? That kid is quite good-looking, just a bit dark-skinned. I heard he just came from the countryside, but he seems like a reliable person. Gao Dazhi is my old comrade-in-arms, and I'm the one who introduced him to his wife. He wouldn't bother asking about someone unreliable."

Shen Wanqing pondered for a moment.

Thinking about what happened today, I blushed slightly.

"Um... I don't know, it's just that I don't like the look in his eyes."

He stared at her face so intently that she felt embarrassed.

Chen Li smiled and said, "I was just saying it offhand."

The young woman works here, and many people come to inquire about her. She can't possibly act as a matchmaker for everyone; she just mentions it casually to most of them.

Then, as if remembering something, he sighed and said, "What about your situation...?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanqing fell silent.

She forced a smile: "It's alright, Sister Chen, I'll go get back to work now."

After saying that, he left immediately.

Watching her leave, Chen Li sighed inwardly, feeling sorry for the child.

As soon as I arrived at the department entrance, I saw Wu Zhiqiang standing there, chatting with Lao Zhou.

Upon seeing them return, the conversation ceased.

Wu Zhiqiang and the other man approached and said directly, "The man has been brought back. Take a look and see if it's him."

Upon hearing this, Gao Dazhi pushed open the door to the interrogation room.

A young man in his thirties was squatting on the ground, looking dejected.

I felt someone push the door open and looked up.

Gao Dazhi immediately recognized this person as the one who had seen them run away that day.

The door closed, and he nodded slightly to the group: "Yes, it's him. He's the one who ran away that day. We couldn't catch him. What did the police station say?"

Wu Zhiqiang smoked a cigarette and offered one to each of them.

Then he said, "His name is Sun Dalei, he's from Northeast China. This guy was really hard to find. He was always running around pulling a cart. We finally caught him at the coal station. We checked with the police station, and Wang Ying said it was him."

Old Zhou chimed in from the side, "This kid confessed. He's definitely suspicious. He's one of Baldy's men who infiltrated our ranks, but he's probably just a small fry and doesn't know much."

Gao Dazhi frowned deeply.

"What else did they confess? Didn't they find out who their superior was? And what's the story with the Xu siblings? What's Li Hongwei's situation? Who killed him?"

Wu Zhiqiang threw away his cigarette butt and explained the situation.

After listening, the group finally understood and pieced together the sequence of events.

According to Sun Dalei's confession.

Jia Fugui did indeed resell supplies, but he only did so because his family was starving. Later, he discovered that these supplies were parts that could be used to make explosives, and when he tried to report them, he was killed!

The murderer was Li Hongwei.

As for Li Hongwei's death, it was also due to threats. Moreover, the reason why he was willing to turn himself in was because his child was threatened by the bald man's people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have committed suicide.

There weren't any major problems with Xu Qiang and Xu Jing.

Sun Dalei frequently mingled in the black market to raise funds.

Xu Jing did have contact with him, but that was to buy and sell goods on the black market to improve her life.

Xu Qiang's food and drink were provided by his sister, Xu Jing.

Wu Zhiqiang lit a cigarette and said, "That's the situation. Sun Dalei even admitted to being a spy. He didn't lie to Xu Jing; he's told her everything else. There's no need for him to lie about this!"

Of course, follow-up surveillance and investigation are still very necessary.

Zhao Qingsong and the other man frowned deeply.

I just found out about Xu Jing, and now she's been removed from the list.

Is it really just about reselling supplies?
