Traveling back to 1952, starting a comeback from a relief station

A moment later, hurried footsteps came from behind.

Yan Bugui turned around and saw Liu Haizhong leading Liu Guangqi over.

"Old Yan, what's going on? Is that He Daqing up ahead?"

Liu Haizhong lowered his voice, a hint of excitement in it.

He was already obsessed with officialdom, so if He Daqing really was an enemy spy, then he would have made a great contribution this time!

If the other party sneaks out with a suitcase in the middle of the night, there's a good chance this is going to happen; all that's missing is catching them red-handed and catching their contact.

The group followed cautiously behind.

He Daqing quickly walked out of the alley and stood on the street for a moment.

Not far away.

A tricycle rode up.

Just as He Daqing was about to get on the tricycle, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui exchanged a glance, and without waiting, rushed out of the alley and blocked the tricycle.

"He Daqing, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

He Daqing was startled. When he turned around and saw Liu Haizhong and his son and Yan Bugui and his son, his face turned ugly instantly.

I was so anxious I was practically fuming.

The White Widow might already be waiting at the station; we can't be late.

He suppressed his panic and forced himself to say:

"I just received a letter from a distant relative saying there's an emergency at home, I'm going over there to check on it."

"What are you doing? Are you following me?"

Yan Bugui snorted coldly:

"Tracking?"

"Don't play dumb; you've been caught!"

Liu Haizhong was preoccupied with capturing enemy spies and gaining merit, so he waved his hand impatiently:

"Don't waste words with him, just take him down first."

"Guangqi, Jiecheng, and Lao Yan, all of you, go and search what's in this enemy agent's box!"

"Enemy agents?"

He Daqing was completely stunned, struggling and shouting at the same time.

"What enemy agent? Are you all crazy! Don't you know who I am? Don't throw accusations around! Liu Haizhong, you're probably obsessed with becoming an official!"

Liu Haizhong gripped He Daqing's arm tightly and sneered:

"At a time like this, you still dare to argue!"

"Tell me, what else could you be sneaking out like that in the middle of the night if not doing something bad?"

"Don't give me that distant relative thing, nobody believes that!"

He Daqing knew that his reasoning was far-fetched.

But eloping with a widow was too shameful to tell anyone, so he could only stubbornly insist:

What I do is none of your business!

"Let me go right now, don't delay my important business!"

But he was just one person; how could he possibly defeat four opponents?

He was held down tightly and couldn't break free at all.

Seeing this, the tricycle driver next to him was so frightened that he quickly turned his vehicle around and sped away.

Right now.

The box in his hand had already been opened by Liu Haizhong.

There was nothing particularly eye-catching inside except for a few changes of clothes.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that He Daqing had brought clothes for all four seasons, including a summer jacket.

This isn't a last-minute trip; it's clearly a move.

Something felt off.

He Daqing wouldn't budge no matter what.

Seeing that He Daqing refused to divulge anything, Liu Haizhong immediately gave the order:

"Stop arguing with him, take him back to the compound first!"

"Jiecheng, you're quick! Go to the police station and tell them we've caught a spy!"

Inside Wang Anping's house.

Qin Huairu was squatting on the ground washing Wang Anping's feet.

Suddenly, a series of noisy footsteps mixed with arguing came from outside the courtyard, and in no time, the courtyard was in an uproar.

Qin Huairu used a towel to wipe Wang Anping's feet.

He looked up toward the Intermediate People's Court, his face full of confusion:

"What happened?"

"Could it be that the Jia family is causing trouble again?"

Wang Anping had already guessed what was going on, but he couldn't tell Qin Huairu the truth.

I slipped on my cotton shoes and shuffled out:

"Go and see for yourself."

Qin Huairu waved her hand:

"Anping, you go ahead. I'll finish washing my feet; the water'll get cold soon."

She waited inside for quite a while.

The commotion outside the courtyard didn't subside; in fact, it got even louder.

I had just washed and dried my feet, and was about to go out to see what was going on, when Wang Anping pushed the door open and casually said:

"He Daqing tried to run away with all his belongings, but Teacher Yan and Liu Haizhong caught him and insisted that he was an enemy spy."

"It got so big that even the police came."

"He Daqing was taken away, and Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong also went to the police station to testify."

Qin Huairu looked completely taken aback and quickly asked:

"What happened?"

Wang Anping shrugged:

"Who knows? Sha Zhu took Yu Shui out to play. When they come back and see this mess, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause."

The commotion outside the courtyard hadn't subsided yet. Qin Huairu had just touched the ground and was about to go out to see what was going on when Wang Anping grabbed her arm.

Qin Huairu's vitals were exposed, and her body immediately went limp.

Wang Anping lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

"Ignore them, go to sleep."

The spear flashed like a dragon.

Inside the central courtyard.

Sha Zhu, carrying the candy he bought for Yu Shui, had just stepped into the courtyard with his younger sister when he saw the neighbors still gathered at the entrance, discussing the matter.

Xu Damao was already waiting in the courtyard.

He and Sha Zhu had never gotten along, and he was just looking forward to seeing Sha Zhu make a fool of himself. So he immediately stepped forward and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Shazhu, I heard your dad was an enemy agent? Does that mean you're a family member of an enemy agent?"

Sha Zhu was furious when he heard this, his mind went blank:

"Your father is the enemy spy! Your whole family are enemy spies!"

Xu Damao's father, Xu Fugui, was also in the crowd.

Upon hearing this, his face instantly darkened, and he glared at Xu Damao with annoyance:

"What nonsense are you spouting! You're so unprofessional!"

Turning to Sha Zhu, he said:

"Shazhu, Da Mao isn't making this up. Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong witnessed it with their own eyes."

"I heard your dad tried to run away with all the family's belongings, but they caught him red-handed, and even the police came. You'd better go back inside and check!"

Sha Zhu's heart skipped a beat. He noticed the strange looks people were giving him and realized that Xu Damao wasn't joking.

He panicked and quickly pulled He Yushui into the house.

The neighbors followed curiously to watch the spectacle.

Upon entering the house, Sha Zhu was immediately dumbfounded.

The house was a complete mess, like it had been burgled.

The wardrobe door was wide open, the bed sheet had been torn off and haphazardly draped over the edge of the bed, his clothes were scattered all over the floor, and his father He Daqing's belongings were nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this, He Yushui burst into tears.

Clutching Sha Zhu's arm, she choked back tears:

"Brother, why is Dad like this?"

"Is he really an enemy agent? Will he be executed?"

Sha Zhu's mind was also a complete mess.

Suddenly remembering the money box hidden under the bed, he rushed to the bedside and dragged out a broken iron box.

The lock on the box is on the clasp, but there is no lock.

He abruptly opened the box, revealing only twenty yuan inside, and immediately shouted:

"My salary!"

"The money I've saved for my wedding!"

"He even tried to run away, thinking he was an enemy spy, and stole all the money from the house!"

……

Inside the train station.

The train to Shicheng will be boarding in half an hour.

Bai Cuihua carried two cloth bags, clutched two train tickets in her hand, and stood on tiptoe, gazing longingly in the direction where passengers were entering the station, her face full of conflicted emotions.
