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

Shen Wanqing walked away and quietly turned her head to look. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhao Qingsong had already entered the security department.

He was thinking about something.

She knew her own family situation; leaving was the best solution.

Perhaps getting to know Zhao Qingsong would be a good option; you could try to make contact with him.

Thinking of this, her face flushed slightly.

After parking the car, we returned to the infirmary.

"Wanqing!"

When Shen Wanqing returned to the infirmary, she heard someone calling her.

Seeing that it was Li Hongmei, he greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Sister Hongmei!"

Good morning!

Li Hongmei replied with a smile.

Then she looked at her and pulled her over: "Wanqing, come here, I have something to ask you."

Last night, Zhao Qingsong gave their family so much meat.

She felt it wouldn't be right not to do something, so she couldn't help but ask as soon as she arrived today.

Whether it works out or not, she has done her best.

Shen Wanqing went over, puzzled.

"What's wrong, Sister Hongmei?"

Li Hongmei sized her up and thought to herself, "No wonder so many people from the factory came to inquire about her. She is indeed beautiful. Even she, a woman, is attracted to her."

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, she smiled and said, "Um, Wanqing, I just wanted to ask, you've had some contact with Xiao Zhao from the security department, what did you think of him?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanqing was taken aback.

Then she realized what was going on, and her face flushed red: "Um... Sister Hongmei, I haven't spoken to him much, how am I supposed to explain!"

Seeing her expression, Li Hongmei was also surprised.

In the past, when people came to inquire about Shen Wanqing, the other party would become impatient.

What's going on today?

She actually blushed, and her answer was somewhat ambiguous.

Then, holding her hand, he laughed and said, "Wanqing, tell me honestly, have you two had any contact in private?"

"this……"

Shen Wanqing hesitated for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to confess honestly: "Yes, last time he... his department was investigating enemy agents, so he asked me to go to the movie theater. He didn't know any girls at the factory, so I... I agreed. I was just cooperating with him."

Finally, he blushed and explained.

Li Hongmei burst out laughing.

He smiled and said, "Wanqing, Xiao Zhao is a nice guy. Why don't you consider him? If you don't dislike him, you two can try getting to know each other."

Straight to the point, no fluff.

Logically, we should have talked to Shen Wanqing's parents first about this.

However, since Shen Wanqing's mother had passed away, she could only allow the two of them to get to know each other first. If they felt it was a good match, she could proceed with the plan.

Furthermore, she also needed to understand Zhao Qingsong's character.

Shen Wanqing was somewhat flustered.

She didn't dislike Zhao Qingsong at all, and when she was thinking about escaping that home, Zhao Qingsong was also an option.

But when it came to actually making a decision, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Um... Sister Hongmei, I have to go now."

After saying that, she blushed and fled the spot.

Li Hongmei clicked her tongue as she watched her departing figure.

Since there was no explicit rejection, it seems like there's a chance!

When Zhao Qingsong returned to the department, everyone else had already arrived.

As soon as he arrived, Gao Dazhi called out to him, "We've been waiting for you. Let's go to Shougang Hospital together. It was our turn to guard the hospital today."

I've already spoken to Lao Zhou. He's the armed forces officer, and training is his responsibility. You don't need to participate today. We'll find some time when you get back so you can practice shooting."

Zhao Qingsong knew that the other party was referring to Wu Zhiqiang's matter.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

That's settled then.

After explaining the situation to Lao Liu and the others, the two went directly to the bicycle shed.

I picked up my bike and rode to the hospital.

We arrived at our destination in half an hour.

After parking the car, Zhao Qingsong looked at him and asked, "Brother Gao, what should we do next?"

Gao Dazhi thought for a moment and said, "If it really was Lao Wu who did it that day, then what he fears most is Xu Jing waking up. Using this to scare her might work. Besides, if Lao Wu has any problems, he will definitely ask the nurses about Xu Jing's condition frequently."

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. We'll see in a bit."

Zhao Qingsong also agrees with this.

The two went to the hospital together.

The two went up to the second floor of the hospital building.

Zhao Qingsong followed behind and asked, "Which ward is Section Chief Wu in?"

"In ward number 9, bed number 23, this is the room. Let's not go there first, let's go see Xu Jing first, and then go to Wu Zhiqiang's room."

Gao Dazhi pointed to a room a few meters away and said.

"Okay, sure!"

Zhao Qingsong agreed, glanced at the closed door, and quietly turned on the radar's location.

Without stopping, they continued walking towards the back.

Arriving at a hospital room, I gently knocked on the door and went inside.

"Old Shen!"

Upon entering the room, Lao Gao saw a man sitting at the foot of the bed reading a newspaper. He greeted him.

Shen Lei.

The other person was around forty years old and also worked in the department.

Shen Lei saw him coming and closed the newspaper: "You're here!"

"Okay, come and relieve me."

After saying that, he looked at the woman lying on the bed and asked, "How is she? Still not awake? Where's Pengfei?"

"Pengfei went to the toilet. Xu Jing woke up, but her consciousness is very weak and she can't speak yet. She's not fully awake."

"That's good! Once she wakes up, we'll know who her accomplices are."

Shen Lei nodded: "Alright, I'll leave this to you. I'm going to find Pengfei and head back now. I haven't had a good night's sleep these past two days."

After saying that, he handed each of them a cigarette: "Zhao Qingsong, right? If it weren't for your hunting trip last time, our department probably wouldn't have had a chance to eat meat for ages! Thanks!"

Zhao Qingsong took the cigarette and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, this is all thanks to Brother Gao."

"Hey, don't be modest. Old Gao said that without you, we wouldn't have been able to find any prey at all."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "Then I'll be going now!"

I said goodbye and prepared to leave.

Gao Dazhi stopped him: "Wait a moment, come with me to see Section Chief Wu."

He gestured to Zhao Qingsong.

Zhao Qingsong nodded slightly, understanding his meaning.

Shen Lei didn't think much of it and agreed: "Sure! We'll say hello to him and then we'll leave."

"Qingsong, take a look here."

Gao Dazhi said hello and led Shen Lei out of the ward.

After everyone left, Zhao Qingsong came to the bedside.

Xu Jing lay there quietly, her face pale, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, clearly she was awake.

Zhao Qingsong looked at the other person and asked softly, "Are you awake? Can you speak?"

But no answer was received.

I tried calling out several times but got no response, so I had to give up.

Looking at Xu Jing lying on the bed, he hesitated for a moment, but still took out the leftover medicine and poured it into her mouth.

After so much treatment, there shouldn't be any problem feeding the medication again.

Then they waited there.

He now has four bottles of his treatment medicine left.

Xu Jing was already in a semi-conscious state. After the medicine was administered, she slowly woke up after half an hour.

"Mmm~"

Zhao Qingsong was reading the newspaper when he heard the noise. He put the newspaper down, stood up, and went to the bedside.

"woke up?"

Xu Jing slowly opened her eyes, looking at the uniforms of the security guards in front of her. Her expression didn't change much. She had woken up yesterday, but she just couldn't speak.

"Who are you? How did I get here?"

I still held onto a sliver of hope.

"What do you think? If I hadn't saved you, you would have been dead long ago."

Zhao Qingsong spoke ambiguously.

As for the child, the hospital has already diagnosed it, and naturally, it couldn't be saved.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing closed her eyes in anguish.

The ward was very quiet.

Zhao Qingsong wasn't in a hurry to find a doctor.

"Tell me what happened. Wu Zhiqiang was just arrested and taken to the security department for interrogation. Your brother Xu Qiang is dead. Oh, right, there's one more thing: you lost your child."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing opened her eyes.

He still wouldn't speak.

"Hey, you already have a child, and you still went so far as to do this. Are you still trying to cover it up for him?"

He was betting that the child might be Wu Zhiqiang's.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing burst into tears.

"Why, why is he so cruel? This is his child!" Her voice was a little hoarse.

Over the years, due to special circumstances, she has not had any children of her own.

Now that she has her own child, she never expected Wu Zhiqiang to be so ruthless.

Zhao Qingsong remained silent, watching quietly.

After a long silence, Xu Jing finally spoke, "Okay, I confess. It really is Wu Zhiqiang."

Zhao Qingsong breathed a long sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Sensing that Gao Dazhi and Wu Zhiqiang's radar readings showed no problems, he quickly asked, "Make a long story short, tell me what happened."

I took out a pen and paper and started taking notes.

"We met 5 years ago... I went to the black market to exchange something, and he caught me, but he let me go..."

He then told her everything.

It started with Xu Jing seducing Wu Zhiqiang. From having a relationship to reselling supplies, and finally joining the organization, he gradually fell into their trap.

Jia Fugui was also silenced because he and Wu Zhiqiang reported him.

"Wait a minute! Why would Li Hongwei come to the security office to commit suicide?"

"Xu Qiang and I are not siblings. Xu Qiang is Li Hongwei's son, but I've always taken him under my wing. I threatened him... That afternoon, Wu Zhiqiang came to me and asked me to threaten him."

"Where's Sun Dalei, the coal hauler?"

"He is my downline. He doesn't know much. My downlines here are only Wu Zhiqiang, Sun Dalei, and Li Hongwei. Xu Qiang doesn't know about us. He only participates in black market trading."

"Does he know about your relationship with Wu Zhiqiang?"

"Know!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingsong seemed to understand something; now everything made sense.

Wu Zhiqiang did indeed direct and act in the entire affair.

"So who is your superior?"

"I don't know, he's always the one who contacts me."

"How did you contact him? Have you seen his face?"

"I've met him, but I've never seen his face. I only know he's quite old, about half a head shorter than you, very thin, and wears black glasses. Every time we contact each other, he gives me his address, and then I go there. There's almost never a repeat between us."

Zhao Qingsong frowned slightly.

After questioning him a bit more, he got up, dried the ink, and left. He went to the nurses' station, found the inkpad, and came back to have the other person put their fingerprint on it.

He folded and put away the statement, then looked at Xu Jing and said, "Think again about what else you haven't confessed. Before it causes too much of a stir, try to make a good impression so you can get out sooner."

Seeing that Xu Jing didn't say anything, he turned and left.

He's going to arrest someone.

P.S.: From now on, the two chapters will be combined, with the word count remaining the same.
