Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and pretended to be confused. "Testify? Stationmaster Zhao, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Zhao Wenhai took a deep breath and lowered his voice, saying, "Director Li, let me be frank. I suspect you and your wife are members of the Labor Party."

Lu Yang's face changed. "Stationmaster Zhao, what do you mean?"

"If you don't help me, I will report this suspicion to my superiors." Zhao Wenhai threatened.

Lu Yang sneered, "It's up to you. I'm upright and I'm not afraid of your investigation."

Zhao Wenhai didn't expect Lu Yang to be so tough, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

In the end, he wrote his doubts into a report and submitted it to Dai Yunong.

A few weeks later.

Zhao Wenhai's threat did not work.

In the end, he was dismissed from his post and investigated for using public power to settle personal grudges.

Dai Yunong was under great pressure, and two successive station chiefs had accidents.

He could only stop the activities of the Sudong Military Control Station and send the Director of Logistics Shen Heng to deal with the aftermath.

But Dai Yunong remembered the name Li Tiesheng.

He asked Shen Heng to observe Li Tiesheng secretly, because he found out that Li Tiesheng was Wang Wen's confidant, so he didn't have too many doubts.

On the other hand, Tang Huaiyu also remembered the name Li Tiesheng.

After the new security commander Song Huaizhao took office, the first thing he did was to visit Director Li with gifts.

In Lu Yang's office, Song Huaizhao and Lu Yang sat opposite each other.

Song Huaizhao said with a smile: "Director Li, I have heard of your name for a long time! Today I finally meet you in person."

Lu Yang responded politely: "Commander Song is too polite. I am just a small director of the Finance Committee, how can I deserve your long-standing respect?"

"Oh, Director Li, you're too modest," Song Huaizhao said. "You're Minister Wang's right-hand man, and you're a man who has the final say in the Soviet Union."

Lu Yang waved his hand and said, "Commander Song, you are too kind. I am just doing my part."

Song Huaizhao said with a smile, "Director Li, we must cooperate more in the future. If there is anything we can help you with, please let me know."

Lu Yang nodded and said, "Thank you, Commander Song. We will definitely cooperate sincerely and contribute our own strength to the development of Sudong."

Just as the two were exchanging pleasantries, a secretary called and said that Director Shen Heng from the Military Control Commission headquarters wanted to see them.

Lu Yang was shocked, but he was prepared.

The method to deal with them had already been thought of, "Please let him in!"

There were several knocks on the door.

"Please come in." Lu Yang said.

The door opened and a man of medium build walked in.

Lu Yang looked carefully and found that this old acquaintance had really come.

It’s Shen Heng!

As soon as Shen Heng walked in, he was stunned.

He stared at Lu Yang for a long time, his brows furrowed.

Although Lu Yang had a beard and scars on his face, Shen Heng always felt that he looked familiar.

"Who is this..." Song Huaizhao asked.

Lu Yang quickly introduced: "This is Director Shen Heng, the Director of the Military Control Commission's Logistics Department.

Director Shen, this is the newly appointed security commander, Commander Song Huaizhao.

Shen Heng came back to his senses, shook hands with Song Huaizhao, and then turned to Lu Yang, "Director Li, I've heard a lot about you."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Director Shen is too polite. Please take a seat."

After the three of them sat down, Shen Heng couldn't help but look at Lu Yang a few more times.

Lu Yang noticed Shen Heng's gaze and became secretly alert, but he remained calm on the surface.

"Director Li," Shen Heng said, "I heard you are from Northeast China?"

Lu Yang nodded and said in a genuine Northeastern accent: "Yes, I was born in Harbin, Northeast China."

When Shen Heng heard the accent, his brows relaxed slightly, but there was still a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Song Huaizhao smiled and said, "Oh, Director Li's accent is really authentic. Just listening to it makes me want to eat Northeastern soybean paste."

Lu Yang laughed, "If Commander Song wants to eat, I'll treat you to authentic Northeastern cuisine someday."

Shen Heng interrupted, "Director Li, I heard that you were working in Shanghai before you took office?"

Lu Yang nodded, "Yes, I stayed in Shanghai for a while."

"Then when did you come to Sudong?" Shen Heng continued to ask.

Lu Yang replied calmly, "About half a year ago. Minister Wang transferred me here."

Song Huaizhao saw Shen Heng's intention and smiled to smooth things over: "Director Shen, are you interrogating Director Li?"

Shen Heng quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I'm just curious. Director Li is so young and yet he's taking on such an important responsibility. I really admire him."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Director Shen, you are too kind. We are all working for the country and fulfilling our responsibilities."

The three chatted for a while, then Song Huaizhao looked at his watch and stood up to say goodbye: "Director Li, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave first. We must get together again some other day."

Lu Yang and Shen Heng also stood up. Lu Yang said, "Commander Song, take care. I'll see you off."

After seeing Song Huaizhao off, Lu Yang turned to Shen Heng and said, "Director Shen, do you have anything else to say?"

Shen Heng shook his head. "Nothing else. Director Li, I'm leaving now."

Lu Yang nodded, "Director Shen, take care."

After both of them left, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew this day would come sooner or later, his palms were still sweating.

He knew that Shen Heng was suspicious of him.

Although his disguise was very good, Shen Heng was an old acquaintance after all, so he still noticed some clues.

When Lu Yang returned home, he immediately explained the situation to Lin Wei.

After listening to this, Lin Wei said worriedly: "What should we do now?"

Lu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Don't panic yet. Although Shen Heng is suspicious, he has no solid evidence. We must be more cautious and at the same time find a way to divert his attention."

Lin Wei asked: "What are your plans?"

Lu Yang whispered, "I'm going to set up a trap to make Shen Heng believe that Li Tiesheng is Li Tiesheng, not me, Lu Yang."

Lin Wei was a little worried, "Isn't this too risky?"

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Don't worry, I will be careful."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang sat at his desk and began to think carefully about his next plan.
