Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Jiang Sen looked at Lin Ying's face, and his expression slowly turned cold.

"The environment in the Great Northern Wilderness is harsh. We use our rest time to dig for wild vegetables and gather mountain products. We work hard, rely on our own efforts, and try our best to overcome the lack of supplies. We don't ask the organization for anything, nor do we cause any trouble for the organization. Is there a problem with that?"

Lin Ying's face darkened, and she slammed her hand on the table.

"Jiang Sen, watch your attitude!"

Those words again.

Jiang Sen sneered inwardly.

Li Chaoyang, standing outside the door, frowned upon hearing the commotion inside, but could only listen.

As the leader of the forest farm, he should have been present.

However, Lin Ying said he wanted to avoid suspicion.

He knew better than anyone what Jiang Sen and his men had done, but he couldn't say anything.

I just hope Jiang Sen won't say anything that he himself can't explain.

Lin Ying stared at Jiang Sen for a while, then picked up another document.

"Jiang Sen, a sent-down youth from Kyoto to support the Great Northern Wilderness in August 1977, lost his mother in the line of duty. However, due to issues with his father and stepmother, he severed ties with them and gave up a job opportunity in a state-owned enterprise. After arriving at the Hongqi Farm, he was awarded a third-class merit and a first-class merit..."

Lin Ying made thorough preparations.

"If your claim that you harvested mountain produce to improve your working conditions and avoid causing trouble for the organization is true, then the rewards you received each time you sent large quantities of mountain produce to Kyoto were astronomical. The first time, 132 yuan; the second time, 180 yuan; the third time... and most recently, 7,000 yuan! Adding it all up, that's a total of 38,946 yuan. Of course, this excludes the money you wired to the other three members of the Fourth Brigade. Please explain the purpose of such a large sum of money. Otherwise, we have no doubt about the authenticity of this report!"

Jiang Sen's lips curled up slightly. "Since you've investigated so thoroughly, you must also know where I mailed it?"

"We're asking you to confess, not asking you questions!"

“You can continue your investigation. I have nothing to say. All my actions have been within the scope permitted by the organization. You can go to the forest farm, go to the mountains to see where we work and live, see how much supplies we consume every day, and see what we have applied for from above. Everything is verifiable. I have nothing to say.”

"I don't need to tell you how much supplies such a large sum of money could buy, right?" Lin Ying looked at him disdainfully. "Given your good performance since you arrived and the merits you've earned, we won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come here to question you; we would have had you taken directly to the division headquarters. So, I still believe you're a good comrade. We just want you to explain where every penny went. We hope you can understand!"

After Lin Ying finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Sen to reply, she stood up and said to the person next to her, "Have Director Li find a quiet room."

Li Chaoyang came in, gave Lin Ying a complicated look, and then looked at Jiang Sen. "Xiao Jiang, come with me!"

Jiang Sen didn't even glance at Lin Ying, and went straight out with Li Chaoyang.

Li Chaoyang led him to the back, with the person next to Lin Ying following behind.

When they arrived at the next room, Li Chaoyang opened the door and said, "Alright, you can stay here without worrying about anything else."

Because there were other people around, he couldn't speak too clearly.

But Jiang Sen understood and said, "Director, could you tell our squad leader that I can't go back for the time being? Also, could you ask Fu Chunsheng to take the daily necessities needed on the mountain back first? Everyone is waiting to use them for patrols."

Li Chaoyang nodded. "Stay put!"

Jiang Sen looked anxious as he watched the door close.

He can't go back now, and I wonder if Yingzi will be worried.

He could only hope that Sui Zhongliang would tell Yingzi the news and ask her to wait patiently for him.

I just don't know what Yingzi will think of me. Will she misunderstand and think that I'm not going back and that I don't want her anymore?

Then they came over with a gun, dragged me out, and asked me face to face what was going on.

Thinking of this, Jiang Sen couldn't help but laugh.

This is something Yingzi would actually do.

He sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and stared out the window.

He thought to himself, if they want me to confess, they won't just let me sit here peacefully; someone else will definitely come.

Sure enough, a little while later, the man next to Lin Ying came again.

He opened the door, placed a stack of manuscript paper and a fountain pen on the table, and then took out a bottle of ink from his pocket and placed it on the table as well.

"Comrade Jiang Sen, please write down all the questions truthfully."

After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, locked the door and left.

Jiang Sen's lips curled up, he glanced at the manuscript paper and pen, leaned back, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

When Fu Chunsheng heard from Li Chaoyang that Jiang Sen wanted to stay and explain his problems, he immediately became anxious.

"Director, what problem could Jiang Sen have? Someone must be making a false accusation. You must speak up for him; we can't wrong an innocent comrade!"

Li Chaoyang said, "Just go back and convey my message. He'll be fine."

"Who on earth is this person? They've committed a heinous crime! Is someone retaliating against us, or are they just jealous that we can support ourselves?"

"Okay, go back quickly!"

Fu Chunsheng had no choice but to quickly pack his things and go to the post office to find Xiaobai.

Bai Wenqu was a little worried and asked in a low voice, "Is Xiao Jiang alright?"

"If you have a clear conscience, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night!" Fu Chunsheng said. "I'm going back to tell our class monitor. Is there nowhere to seek justice? Xiaobai, let's go!"

Xiao Bai stopped laughing and looked at Bai Wenqu.

After all, they were involved in what Jiang Sen was doing.

Bai Wenqu said, "That's perfect. Once you're gone, don't come back yet. See what the forest farm says. If Squad Leader Sui wants to come, then you can come back with him."

Xiao Bai nodded and followed Fu Chunsheng.

Upon arriving at the forest farm, Xiaobai went to the canteen for lunch, while Fu Chunsheng anxiously went to find Zhang Jianjun.

"Captain! Captain! Something terrible has happened!"

"Captain! Captain?"

Fu Chunsheng didn't see anyone in the office, so he ran to the cafeteria and immediately saw Xiaobai talking to Zhang Jianjun.

He rushed over, "Captain, I've been looking for you! Jiang Sen is in trouble!"

Zhang Jianjun said, "I already know, don't worry. Go eat first, and then hurry up the mountain."

"Ah... okay!"

Before he returned, Li Chaoyang had called Zhang Jianjun, and he had also sent people up the mountain to look for Sui Zhongliang, but they had not returned yet.

It is estimated that Sui Zhongliang led a patrol of the mountains and was not at the camp.

After dinner, Zhang Jianjun called Fu Chunsheng over and said, "Go up the mountain right now and tell your squad leader that I know what happened and that he doesn't need to worry. Also, make sure to keep Yingzi calm and don't let her get anxious. And if you're unsure about anything, and the squad leader isn't here, go find Old Cripple. Got it?"

"Got it! Captain, I'm off!"

"Be careful on the road!"

This time, Fu Chunsheng brought back a lot of things from the farm headquarters, which he couldn't carry by himself, so he discussed it with Xiaobai.

"Little Bai, why don't you come up the mountain with me for a few days! It's so much fun up there!"

"Huh?" Xiaobai was somewhat tempted, but hesitated, "What if the post office needs the vehicle?"

"Let's just leave it at that! With something this serious already happened, no one will notice if the packages and letters are delayed by a few days. Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianjun said, "Go ahead, you can come back with the sixth squad leader."
