Chapter 67: 67 accident

"Then let the Security Department take control of the three of them.

Secretary Jiang, go with the Security Department to bring Kong Mengjie over."

"Yes." What’s going on with this female lead? Could it be that in a past life Zhao Zhongshuo made Kong Mengjie successful because of this matter?

No, that’s not right, the timing doesn’t match. It should have been at the end of ’62, as the book says, after Wang Ailing gave birth.

Jiang Xinyu went to the Security Department and, together with two security officers, went to the women’s dormitory.

Kong Mengjie was sleeping; she was on the next shift after Wang Ailing, which was the night shift. She opened the door to see Jiang Xinyu and two others.

"Xinyu, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, Kong Mengjie, please change your clothes first; we need your cooperation on some matters."

Kong Mengjie was startled, "Xinyu, what happened? Is something wrong?"

Jiang Xinyu shook her head, "It’s a matter of discipline, I can’t say. Make it quick."

Kong Mengjie was angry and scared inside. Was it because of the defective products issue?

Her thoughts were in turmoil, but there were people waiting outside, so she didn’t dare make any moves.

After coming out, Jiang Xinyu walked beside her, followed by two security officers, heading to the Security Department.

Jiang Xinyu led Kong Mengjie into a room with only a bench. Without a word, she closed the door and left.

"Comrade, do you need me for anything else?"

"Secretary Jiang, please sit in the office for a while. Secretary Qian is interrogating Lai Zhiqiang."

Sitting in the Security Department’s office, Jiang Xinyu was deep in thought.

This female lead is really something, able to stir things up wherever she goes. In the book, this is her territory, her stepping stone to success.

I wonder if there’s really something involving Zhao Zhongshuo this time?

If there is, this butterfly effect must be quite strong.

"Secretary Jiang, accompany me to question Zhao Zhongshuo, you can be in charge of taking notes, okay?"

Jiang Xinyu stood up and nodded, thinking that Qian Jun is truly versatile, both a driver and in charge of security.

The two of them entered a room together where Zhao Zhongshuo was bending over, his arms on his legs, head down, looking quite dejected.

He heard the door open and saw the two secretaries entering, "Secretary Qian, why was I brought here?"

Both sat down, Qian Jun leisurely sipped some water, "Zhao Zhongshuo, you don’t know why?"

"Secretary Qian, what should I know?"

"Since you don’t know, let me ask and you answer?"

"I’ll answer truthfully, Secretary Qian, go ahead."

"Alright, on March 7th, did you purchase a large amount of defective products from the small warehouse?"

"Yes, the fabric was quite wide that time, and there were very few defects."

"Very few defects? Or none?"

"There were some without defects."

"Oh? As a team leader, don’t you know the rules of our textile factory?"

"I think I know, but since it’s in the warehouse among the defective products, it’s a defective product."

"Haha, Zhao Zhongshuo, your explanation is quite good. So where did all these defective products go?"

"At home, I have a girlfriend and was thinking of saving these defective products for our marriage."

"Oh, how many pieces did you buy?"

"I bought twenty pieces in total."

"You need so many for the wedding?"

"The bride has to use them too, right?"

"Are all twenty pieces at your home?"

"Yes, they’re all at home. Secretary Qian, has something happened?"

"Nothing, you need to take the Security Department with you to bring back these twenty pieces from your home." The Security Department chief called in two people, and they left with Zhao Zhongshuo.

"Secretary Jiang, let’s go question Kong Mengjie."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, thinking that this matter shouldn’t implicate the female lead much.

Kong Mengjie stood up suddenly when she saw the three people entering.

The main interrogator this time was Qian Jun, "Kong Mengjie?"

"Yes, it’s me!" She said, glancing uneasily at the three people seated in front of her.

"Take a seat and talk." Qian Jun’s tone was still gentle towards the female.

"Kong Mengjie, you’re called here today to discuss some matters."

"What matters?" Kong Mengjie had calmed down by now; indeed, she was worthy of being the female lead.

Jiang Xinyu bent over the table taking notes.

"Kong Mengjie, do you know Lai Zhiqiang?"

The question was startling.

"Yes, I know him. He’s the team leader of the second group in the third workshop."

"Haha, didn’t expect you to know so many people in such a short time at work?" This remark was a bit sarcastic.

Kong Mengjie lowered her head at the remark, and Jiang Xinyu felt that the female lead must now hold a grudge against Qian Jun.

"Do you know Zhao Zhongshuo?"

"Yes, he’s the leader of our group."

"Not just as a group leader, right?"

Jiang Xinyu glanced up at Kong Mengjie, seeing the female lead looking aggrieved at Qian Jun, biting her lower lip. When she saw Jiang Xinyu looking up, she immediately changed her expression.

"Speak." Qian Jun’s initial gentlemanly demeanor had vanished.

"We’re dating." She said very quietly.

"Just dating? Zhao Zhongshuo confessed."

After a brief silence, Kong Mengjie kept her head down, knowing that the three people in front were all watching her, waiting for her answer.

She resented Zhao Zhongshuo for his lack of responsibility.

"He proposed to me."

"On March 7th, did you and Zhao Zhongshuo purchase defective fabrics together in the warehouse?"

"Yes, Zhao Zhongshuo said they’d be used for the wedding, and that these defective products were no different from the good ones." Her hunch was right, it was indeed about the defective fabric.

"Oh? Can you tell the difference between defective and non-defective?"

"No, I haven’t been here long enough to encounter these."

"Where are those fabrics?"

"They’re all at Zhao Zhongshuo’s home."

"One last question, have you seen or heard of any close relationship between Zhao Zhongshuo and Lai Zhiqiang? Or any private matters between them?"

Kong Mengjie shook her head, "I’m not sure."

"That’s all, Director Pan, do you have any more questions?"

"No." Pan Yuanliang shook his head.

"Alright then, Kong Mengjie, come over here and sign the interrogation record, then leave your fingerprint."

Jiang Xinyu reviewed her interrogation record and then placed the ink on the table, waiting for Kong Mengjie to come over.

"Can I ask what this is about?"

"You’ll know later." Qian Jun replied calmly.

Kong Mengjie felt humiliated but couldn’t resist. She stood up and walked over to the table in front of the three, pausing at Jiang Xinyu’s handwriting, wondering when did this fool’s writing become so beautiful?

However, her hands didn’t stop as she signed her name and placed her fingerprint.

"Alright, you can go now, we’ll call you if anything comes up."

Kong Mengjie glanced at Jiang Xinyu, nodded, and left.

"Secretary Jiang, is she from your village?"

"Yes, do I need to withdraw from this matter?"
