Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Oh, then what are you talking about? Call us to the village office." The villager retorted unconvinced.

"I don't know. The captain will tell everyone later."

"Everyone please be quiet!" The argument between the two was broken and stopped by the captain's loud voice.

"I'm sure everyone wants to know why we're called together for a meeting." After saying this, the captain let out a long breath, paused for a moment, and then continued, "Now everyone look around each other and report to each other whether everyone is here."

"We're here, we're all here." Everyone answered in unison.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let me tell you what the meeting is about," said the captain.

I'm sure everyone knows that Director Yu's home was smashed by the Red Guards a few days ago. Today, let's discuss the report. If you have anything to say, please raise your hand. "After the captain finished speaking, he picked up the water cup beside him and drank a sip of water.

No one knew what to say for a moment and no one stepped forward to speak.

"Everyone doesn't know what to say for the moment, so let me first tell you what our village cadres have discussed. Let's talk about the case of Director Yu's family first. The content of this report is very interesting. Let's listen to it first. "Report, there are many books in the home of the new director of Lihua Village." With just this one sentence, the Red Guards came to the village to smash and destroy things, which shows how serious the current situation is. I just want to ask everyone, is the Yu family wronged? If someone reported someone else's family in the same way, what would you do, is it unfair? This is the first question.

The captain's voice rang out in the silent crowd, and everyone listened quietly. His words revealed his dissatisfaction with the Yu family's experience and his concern about the current situation.

After a moment of silence, the team leader continued, "The second question is, what is the purpose of this whistleblower? Our village cadres believe that he wants to harm our entire village. The person identified in the whistleblower's letter is the new factory director, and no name is mentioned. Can we understand that she wants to harm the factory director, the factory director of our village? Then it doesn't matter who this factory director is, as long as he is the factory director. I want to ask, if this factory director is investigated and arrested, can this factory still operate? Whose interests will this harm, is it our entire Lihua Village? The economic development of our Lihua Village cannot be separated from this factory. Once the factory stops production, the lives of all of us will be affected."

The captain's eyes swept across everyone's face, as if waiting for their response.

At this time, a villager could not help but speak up: "Captain, this won't do! Life in our village is already difficult. If the factory stops, what will we do?"

Another villager echoed, "Yes, Captain, this informant is so abominable. How could he harm our village like this?"

"That's right, this will cost us so much in losses!" another villager said indignantly.

The captain raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "The next question is, who is this person? Should we find her out? How should we deal with her? Should we punish her severely? We can't let this kind of black sheep continue to harm our village. If we don't find this person, who knows what will happen in the future."

At this time, a villager stood up and said, "Captain, this person must be found and cannot be allowed to go unpunished."

"Yes, we can't let him go!" Other villagers also echoed.

"But how do we find this person?" a villager asked.

The captain thought for a moment and said, "We can start with some clues. For example, how did the informant know that Director Yu's home had so many books? Does he have any informants in the village? We can investigate from these aspects."

"Should we go ask Director Yu to see if he has any clues?" a villager suggested.

"That's a good idea." The captain nodded and said, "We'll go to Director Yu's house later."

"Captain, what should we do after we find this person?" another villager asked.

"Well..." The captain pondered for a while, "We need to understand his motives and purpose first. If he did it unintentionally, we can give him a chance to reform. But if he intends to harm our village, we can't let him go easily. We can discuss how to deal with him when the time comes. But we must find the person first."

At this time, a villager said: "Captain, we can't let this happen again. We must strengthen the management of the village and not let anyone follow suit."

"Yes, we must unite and protect our village," said another villager.

The captain felt relieved as he watched everyone speak up. He knew that as long as everyone was united, no difficulty could be overcome.

Finally, the captain said, "Okay, that's all for today's discussion. Everyone, think about it carefully after you go back, and feel free to come to me if you have any clues. We must find this person and protect our Lihua Village."

The villagers nodded one after another, indicating that they would actively cooperate with the team leader's work.

Liu Hong stood quietly at the back, listening to everyone's discussion. Her eyes were firm, without any fear. She had already made full preparations for what kind of result she would face.

Su Ting had been secretly observing Liu Hong. She had never expected that this woman's psychological quality was so good. In such a huge scene, her expression did not change at all. It seemed that it would be difficult for the villagers to find conclusive evidence, but it was only a matter of time. However, she did not intend to report her. She wanted to use this incident to get Liu Hong's help and achieve her own goal.

Yu Congcong did not attend the meeting. She was working hard at the factory to process the first batch of soy sauce produced since the factory was built. This batch of soy sauce is very important and no mistakes can be made.

The team leader asked everyone to disperse and go to work. Everyone talked a lot and then walked towards the fields.

Liu Hong stayed behind, searching the crowd to see if anyone would go to the captain to report any clues.

Su Ting saw that Liu Hong did not leave, so she did not move. Because she still wanted to use Liu Hong, and now was the best time. So, she quietly asked Yuan Zhe to leave first. Yuan Zhe thought she wanted to take the opportunity to be lazy, so he left without asking any more questions.

Everyone was rushing to work, so not many people went to see the team leader. The village cadres had long suspected Liu Hong, but because they had no evidence, no one mentioned her.
