Li Xinran, who left the corps, was taken directly to an empty room.

There is a simple single bed, a table, and a stool in the room.

Other than that, nothing else.

Just before noon, the door opened and a soldier brought her lunch.

Lunch was pretty good, including two steamed buns, one meat and one vegetarian.

Li Xinran ate lunch peacefully.

She had to conserve her strength and wait for further questioning.

After lunch, Li Xinran drank a large glass of spring water in the space under the cover of the cup.

After lunch, she lay on the single bed and slept with her eyes closed.

An hour later, she was taken to another room.

There is only one table and two chairs in the room.

Sitting behind the table were two leaders in military uniforms, with serious faces.

One of the leaders asked coldly,

"Comrade Li Xinran, we found a lot of expensive clothes, a lot of rice and noodles, and a lot of non-staple food in your house."

"These things exceed Shen Boyuan's salary."

Li Xinran replied calmly,

"Leader, I said this before when I was in the Corps."

"I work as an English translator in newspapers and bookstores in Kyoto. Some work cost one cent for one word, and some cost three cents for two words."

“A manuscript of 80 to [-] words costs [-] yuan.”

"I use my own wages to go to the Overseas Chinese Store of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy some food, drink, and entertainment for daily necessities. Isn't that excessive?"

The leader asked meaningfully,

"Do you know any overseas Chinese?"

"No." Li Xinran answered happily.

The leader continued to ask,

"Then why do you know English?"

"Listening to the radio and reading English books, plus I'm smart, I can learn it as soon as possible." Li Xinran said very casually.

"Can such a complicated English vocabulary be learned in one go?" the leader said in a skeptical tone.

Li Xinran laughed,

"Others may not be able to, but I can."

"I graduated from high school, studied hard, and was smart."

"Leader, is it illegal to be smart?"

When the leader heard this, he felt angry.

This was spoken by a leader, but what he said was not at all like it was meant for a leader.

The leader struggled to suppress his anger.

"Did Shen Boyuan ask you to learn English?"

Li Xinran's heart moved. What does her learning English have to do with Shen Boyuan?

Is there such a question?

The purpose is so obvious, does it have to be related to Shen Boyuan?

Li Xinran opened his mouth slowly and said,

"Leadership means that I want to learn, make progress, and contribute to the development of the country."

"You can't look down on women. The great man once said that women hold up half the sky."

The leader's face turned red with anger.

"Has Shen Boyuan read the English materials you translated?"

"No." Li Xinran replied.

"When you were mailing information to a newspaper in Kyoto, did Shen Boyuan ask you to bring other items, such as notes..."

"No." Li Xinran still replied firmly.

"Then is it possible that Shen Boyuan secretly stuffed something into the envelope when you weren't paying attention?"

Li Xinran became angrier as he listened. Isn't this a clear inducement?

If she is not careful, Shen Boyuan will be framed.

"Leader, what answer do you want to hear?"

The leader said sternly,

"Comrade Li Xinran, please answer my questions seriously and cooperate with our work."

"We also want to investigate the truth of the matter as soon as possible."

Li Xinran glanced at the leader behind the table and said calmly and seriously,

"Shen Boyuan has never done anything illegal or disciplinary. He always remembers that he is a soldier and abides by all the disciplines that a soldier should abide by."

"I don't know what the two leaders want to ask from me."

"I have only heard that Yue Fei died on unfounded charges in the Song Dynasty. Is it going to happen again today?"

With a "pop" sound, the leader slammed the table hard and stood up angrily.

"Li Xinran, pay attention to the attitude of your words."

Li Xinran chuckled and said lightly,

"Leader, I'm just telling the truth."

"I'm also curious, to be honest, why are you so angry."

"It's so angry that it hurts your body."

The leader's face almost turned from red to green, from green to black, and from black to red.

They have never met such a woman.

Facing their inquiries, his face remained calm and his heart did not beat.

In terms of his mental quality, he is as good as a spy.

Li Xinran spoke slowly again,

"Boss, I'm still five months pregnant. Can you get me a glass of water?"

"Warm water will do."

The leader's eyes were so angry that he almost bulged out of his head. Why did he still drink water?

But there is no way, Li Xinran has not made any mistakes now.

"Pour her a glass of water."

Another person took the cup and poured a glass of water into her hand.

After Li Xinran took the water glass, he took a slow sip.

At the same time, Wei Xinyi was being questioned in the office of a certain cultural troupe.

"Wei Xinyi, did you have a private meeting with Shen Boyuan when you went to the Corps to attend the condolence performance?"

Wei Xinyi's face was already a little pale.

She didn't understand why her superiors asked her such questions, but she did nothing.

"No." Wei Xinyi shook her head and said.

"Then did you and Shen Boyuan meet alone to talk or dance?" The leader glanced at Wei Xinyi and continued to ask.

"No." Wei Xinyi's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, she was actually a little lucky that Shen Boyuan rejected her outright.

"But the female soldier who participated in the performance said that you always ran in front of Shen Boyuan and even invited him to dance?"

Wei Xinyi's face instantly lost all blood and turned as pale as white paper.

She tried her best to suppress her trembling voice and said clearly,

"I have heard of Shen Boyuan's heroic deeds."

"He has achieved various military exploits and is an excellent soldier."

"I just wanted to interview him and give him an interview, but he didn't agree."

"When I invited him to dance, it was out of admiration and nothing else."

The leader nodded and asked Wei Xinyi to leave the office.

Wei Xinyi almost collapsed to the ground when she left the office.

The words that the leader asked her just now were obviously saying that she ruined the military marriage and made mistakes knowingly.

If she answered even slightly wrong, she didn't know what would be waiting for her.

Wei Xinyi's body trembled at the thought of that outcome.

She was secretly glad again that there was nothing too outrageous at that time.

The leader in the office had already picked up the phone and sent the question to the other party word for word.

----

People in military uniforms also came to the Kyoto newspaper office to inquire.

After hearing the translator and Li Xin, the people at the newspaper checked the work ID number and confirmed that there was no problem.

The newspaper even found out the manuscripts Li Xinran had translated before, and the details of the royalties they remitted to Li Xinran.

All this is exactly what Li Xinran said.
