Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Li Chaoyang shook his head, "I don't know, the whistleblower letter was sent directly to the division headquarters."

I have a suspect!

"Oh? You tell me!"

"Accountant Zhang!"

Li Chaoyang fell silent, wondering why Accountant Zhang would report Jiang Sen.

There's no reason?

"Okay, I understand. You stay here for a few days, I'm leaving!"

Li Chaoyang left, and Jiang Sen didn't close the window. He just lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), squinting as he thought.

He wondered how he could find out if the person who reported him was indeed Accountant Zhang.

If it were him, would he have reported him simply out of spite?

Li Chaoyang found it strange that Jiang Sen didn't look for Wang Haiyang.

But he knew that even if he couldn't contact Wang Haiyang, Jiang Sen knew that he could contact Wang Haiyang's father.

But he didn't do that.

Instead, he contacted another person.

Luo Jianshe?

Is your surname Luo?

Is it...

Having made up his mind, Li Chaoyang went straight to the post office.

The reason I didn't go back to the office was because Lin Ying was still sitting inside.

Lin Ying is the wife of an acquaintance, so there are some things that are really hard to say.

Bai Wenqu saw Li Chaoyang calling him and guessed what was going on. He asked in a low voice, "Is Xiao Jiang alright?"

Li Chaoyang shook his head. "Bring me to Kyoto."

After dialing the number, a lazy voice came through, "Hello? Who is it? If it's nothing important, I'm hanging up!"

Li Chaoyang was taken aback, then chuckled. Are all young people these days so individualistic?

"Hello! This is Li Chaoyang from Hongqi Farm. Jiang Sen gave me this number."

There was a three-second silence on the other end before they spoke again.

"Did something happen to him?"

Li Chaoyang was impressed by the other party's sharp mind. He simply grunted in agreement before continuing, "He was reported for speculation and profiteering, and now people from the division headquarters have come to ask him to explain himself."

"Damn it! Which bastard is asking for trouble? Even our Kyoto Military Region compound canteen's procurement is being accused of speculation and profiteering? Fine! I know about this. He doesn't have to say anything, he can eat and sleep as usual, and he doesn't have to do anything!"

"Snapped!"

Li Chaoyang glanced at the phone, listened for a moment, and confirmed that the other party had hung up.

He frowned slightly; the other person seemed to know who he was, yet still spoke so rudely.

That must be that person's son.

After finishing the call and nodding to Bai Wenqu, Li Chaoyang returned to his office.

That evening, the canteen was bustling with activity as farm cadres came to have dinner with Lin Ying from the division headquarters.

The two men, after being forced to drink a lot of strong liquor by Officer Ma, were sent back to their rooms in a daze.

Lin Ying hadn't drunk much, but she was still a little tipsy. Before returning to her room, she told Li Chaoyang, "Jiang Sen's problem is very serious. You must keep a close eye on him. This is a profound lesson for the entire forest farm. A young educated youth who had made meritorious contributions and received awards was secretly engaged in speculation and profiteering. We must solidify his crimes and make him a model case, publicizing it throughout the entire farm as a warning! The construction of our motherland is at a critical moment. We must severely crack down on such criminal behavior and sound the alarm for others, for ourselves, and for everyone!"

Watching Lin Ying return to her room, Li Chaoyang walked back, his eyes gradually narrowing.

What Johnson did, many people are doing.

But he didn't just think of himself; instead, he made many people benefit from it.

Life at the forest farm kept improving, and even Manager Ma and his wife started working there.

Although the farm management team was not directly involved, they still benefited greatly from it.

Furthermore, Li Chaoyang is extremely protective of his own, so he felt that this matter was not just a matter of someone reporting him.

Rather, it just so happened that the higher-ups were looking to make an example of someone, and the whistleblower letter happened to be sent at the height of that campaign.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Sen closed the window, crawled into bed, and closed his eyes.

Li Chaoyang relayed Luo Jianshe's words, which reassured him considerably.

Even if this matter is resolved smoothly, there will likely be some difficulties with the marriage application.

Or, why not just use this as an excuse to leave!

The initial plan was that after finding Yingzi, we would settle down in the Greater Khingan Mountains and live a hunting life together.

But now, it seems that this wish is difficult to fulfill.

Whether her people were testing her or genuinely trying to get her to leave the Greater Khingan Mountains and this place with Yingzi, she was urged to do so.

It seems I need to make some changes to my original plans for this life.

Jiang Sen is no longer that naive and helpless young man; he is now calm and deep-thinking.

He will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

Anyone who tries to mess with him, he'll kill them!

Since you've made your move, I'll accept it.

Come and go without indecent!

The next day, right after breakfast, the door opened.

The man from the division headquarters looked very displeased as he looked at the blank manuscript paper on the table.

"Let's go! Let's go talk some more!"

Jiang Sen was then taken to Li Chaoyang's office.

This time, Lin Ying did not ask Li Chaoyang to leave.

Li Chaoyang didn't say anything, but nodded to Jiang Sen discreetly from the side.

Jiang Sen sat down in the chair.

After hearing her subordinate whisper a few words in her ear, Lin Ying's expression turned grim and dark.

She looked at Jiang Sen coldly.

"It seems you're not planning to be honest?"

Jiang Sen smiled and shook his head. "I have nothing to confess."

"No? Don't you know that over 30,000 yuan from speculation is enough to get you shot!"

Jiang Sen shrugged. "Didn't you find out everything? Since you've found out everything, why do you want me to confess? Then produce the evidence and execute me!"

"Aren't these enough evidence?" Lin Ying patted the documents on the table. "Every remittance has been meticulously documented! What more evidence do you need?"

"Since no evidence is needed, of course you can say whatever you want. Anyway, I'm just a helpless educated youth. If you want to kill me, it's easy. Why waste your time?"

"you……"

Lin Ying was speechless.

She asked Jiang Sen to explain where all the remittances went, and then said that she had already investigated and that no evidence was needed.

The contradictions in his statements infuriated Jiang Sen.

"Your attitude isn't just a criminal issue; it also reflects a problem with your thinking. You're resisting an investigation! Do you know how serious the consequences will be?"

Jiang Sen laughed. "Sir, it's not that I'm resisting, but from the moment you received that whistleblower letter, the authenticity of which is unknown, you've already assumed I'm guilty. What can I say? Why doesn't the division headquarters investigate whether the whistleblower is making a false accusation?"

"Didn't you do these things?"

"Yes!"

"Then it's not a false accusation?"

Jiang Sen smiled again.

Lin Ying's face turned bright red instantly.

We've fallen for Jiang Sen's trick again!

She got herself into a mess with just a few words.

Li Chaoyang looked at Jiang Sen with a smile in his eyes, thinking to himself, "This kid is pretty good!"

You're very experienced in handling this kind of interrogation!

"Do you think we can't do anything to you if you don't confess?" Lin Ying said angrily, her words becoming somewhat reckless. "Let me tell you, once we determine you are guilty, you are guilty!"

Jiang Sen's eyes widened as he looked at Li Chaoyang, then at the people on either side of Lin Ying.

"Boss, are you trying to force a confession out of me?"
