Tang Man guessed correctly. The female staff member was already 26 years old but had never met a suitable husband. This was a matter of concern for her, and she was often laughed at and humiliated by people around her because of this.

The words of those people pointing and talking flashed through her mind unconsciously. Her face became more and more ugly, and her expression gradually became hideous and distorted. She grabbed the lunch box and slammed it hard on Tang Man's face, while roaring hysterically.

"What do you know? I just haven't met the right person, not that no one wants me."

Tang Man had been prepared for this. When the female staff member grabbed the lunch box, she quickly raised her foot and kicked the other person's leg.

"Ah!" With a shrill scream, the female staff member fell to the ground with a bang, and the lunch box in her hand and the food inside fell upside down on her face.

"Knock knock." Just at this moment there was a knock on the door.

Before the people in the room could respond, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Tang Man subconsciously raised her head and looked over. There were four people standing outside the door, a man in his forties, a man in his twenties, and two security guards in uniform.

Her eyes swept across several people and finally landed on the young man.

The man was wearing a washed-out Zhongshan suit and a pair of black-framed glasses.

He is very tall, about 1.8 meters tall, with fair skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and sharp features.

That face is very pleasing to the eye, and he gives people a feeling of being as gentle as jade, introverted and gentle, like the breeze and the morning moon.

However, she noticed him at first sight not because of his appearance, but because of his uneven hair of varying lengths, as if it had been chewed by a dog.

This hairstyle is really...

So unique.

Hey! She's pretty, why does she have such weird hair?

"Secretary... Secretary..." The male staff member in the room quickly stood up, stomped out the cigarette butt on the ground, and dragged the female worker up.

"What are you doing? This is a commune, not a market. What's the point of making so much noise?"

Secretary Liu shouted angrily with a dark face, and strode into the small dark room. He walked up to Tang Man and asked in a gentle tone, "Are you Tang Man, the educated youth from Litang Brigade?"

Tang Man nodded, acknowledging her identity.

"You..." Secretary Liu's face turned even darker. He turned around and pointed at the man and woman. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. After a long while, he suppressed the anger that was about to burst out and turned to say to the two security guards at the door.

"Captain Li, this is indeed the educated youth Comrade Tang Man you are looking for. As for why she is here, I really don't know, but Zhang Yang and Li Yan should know. Take them both back and investigate them carefully. Our commune will never allow such wanton parasites to exist."

"Secretary Liu, please rest assured that we will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Two security guards walked up to the two staff members and said, "Please follow us."

The two staff members turned pale and anxiously pleaded with Secretary Liu, "Secretary, we know we were wrong, please don't..."

Before the two men could finish their words, a security guard walked up and handcuffed the man.

"Comrade Tang Man, we'd like to trouble you to go back with us and record a statement." One of the security guards said to Tang Man, and then he and his companions took the man and woman away.

Tang Man stood up and walked out slowly behind the security guard. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Secretary Liu's voice coming from inside the room.

"Thank you, doctor."

"Wait a moment." Xie Yan stopped Tang Man and said softly, then strode towards Secretary Liu.

Dr. Xie...

Is he Xie Yan?

Xie Yan is just a tool to push the plot forward in the book. There is no extra introduction about his background and origin in the book. It only mentions that he was sent to Qingshan Commune for ideological reform because he committed a crime in Jing City.

As for why he came to the commune...

He should have come to rescue her.

A few days ago, the original owner accidentally fell into the river while digging wild vegetables by the river. At that time, the male and female protagonists and a group of educated youth were also there. However, no matter how desperately the original owner called for help, these people were like deaf people. They did not even look back at her, let alone go down to save her.

Finally, Xie Yan heard her cry for help and rushed over to pull her out of the river.

Because it was a hot summer day, the original owner was wearing thin clothes, and after being wet by the river water, her curves were exposed.

That night, many rumors spread in the production team. Coupled with the fact that someone deliberately spread the news that the male protagonist and her had broken off their engagement, the rumors became even more outrageous.

What? After her fiancé abandoned her, she was worried that no one would want her, so she deliberately jumped into the water to force the person who rescued her to take responsibility for her.

What? When Xie Yan saved her, he touched her all over. She is no longer clean.

What, Xie Yan has been having an affair with her for a long time, otherwise he wouldn’t be so eager to save her.

In short, there were all kinds of slanderous and rumor-mongering voices. The original owner couldn't stand those rumors, so she hid in the dormitory for several days and dared not see anyone. However, even hiding in the dormitory was useless. The educated youth in the dormitory also mocked and humiliated her in various ways.

The original owner collapsed, and when she was about to give up, Xie Yan found her and offered to take responsibility for her. In that situation, the original owner had no choice but to get a marriage certificate with Xie Yan.

After the two of them got their marriage certificate, before they had time to announce the news that they had obtained the marriage certificate, the original owner asked Wang Dashan to bring people to kidnap them.

By the way, the original owner was able to see the light of day again after her death thanks to Xie Yan. If Xie Yan hadn’t returned to Beijing and told her parents about her disappearance, she would probably have turned into a pile of bones in the cesspool.

In the small dark room, Secretary Liu whispered a few words to Xie Yan and then let him go.

"Let's go." After Xie Yan came out, he called Tang Man and took her away from the commune.

Outside the commune, the two security guards were still waiting for them, so they went to the security station together to record their statements.

The public security station arranged a female security officer to record Tang Man's statement, and Tang Man was taken to a desk and sat down.

After sitting down, Tang Man asked first, "Can I have a glass of water?"

She was not very thirsty, but as a person who had not eaten or drunk anything for two days and three nights, what she wanted most after being freed was definitely food. The police station could not provide food, so all she could get was water.

"Wait a moment." The female security guard stood up and poured hot water for Tang Man.

"Thank you!" Tang Man held the cup with both hands. She waited until the water in the cup became cooler and then poured the water into her mouth continuously. She put the cup down only after all the water in the cup was finished.

Xie Yan couldn't help but frown when he saw Tang Man drink a large glass of water in one breath, but he didn't say anything. He sat quietly on the stool waiting for Tang Man to record his testimony.

The female security guard stared at the empty cup for a few seconds, then stood up and poured Tang Man a glass of water. Then she picked up a pen and paper and began to record Tang Man's confession.

"Okay, Tang Man, I'm going to verify your statement. What happened was that on the night of June 6, you were knocked unconscious from behind on your way back to the educated youth camp. When you woke up, you were already at Wang Dashan's house. He was trying to humiliate you, and you were frightened and pushed Wang Dashan away..."

After a pause, the female security guard asked, "Tang Man, are you sure this is the case? With your physique, it may not be easy to push Wang Dashan away or hit him."

She had wanted to ask this question before. If she told others that a weak little girl pushed down a 200-pound fat man and seriously injured him, who would believe it?

Could it be him?

The female security guard glanced at Xie Yan obliquely.

What if Xie Yan beat the person?

Xie Yan is a demoted personnel. If he is caught for beating someone, he will be punished without even a chance to defend himself. Therefore, it is very likely that Tang Man will take the blame for the beating in order to protect Xie Yan.
