Pei Shizhou then went to find Yang Yunjie, who worked at a printing factory.

Pei Shizhou asked the gatekeeper to call Yang Yunjie out, but the gatekeeper was initially reluctant. Only after Pei Shizhou gave him a pack of cigarettes did he go in with a big smile and call for Yang Yunjie.

The old man searched everywhere for Yang Yunjie amidst the noisy roar of the printing press. Finally, he found him busy working beside a large printing press.

Yang Yunjie was skillfully operating the machine, his forehead covered in sweat, so focused that he didn't notice the old man's arrival.

"Yang Yunjie, someone is looking for you outside. Come out right now."

The old man spoke in a displeased tone behind him. Yang Yunjie was startled by the voice, turned around abruptly, and showed a displeased expression on his face.

Because of his older brother Yang Yunhao's rape of Jiang Jinning, Yang Yunjie, who had finally become a team leader and was about to become the workshop director, was reduced to an ordinary worker in an instant. Yang Yunjie hated his older brother to the core.

He's over forty and still doing such a shameful thing, making his whole family lose face.

"Yang Yunjie, hurry up."

Seeing that Yang Yunjie was still standing there in a daze, the old man shouted again. Yang Yunjie quickly stopped what he was doing, said a few words to his colleague, and then hurriedly followed the old man outside.

Upon seeing Pei Shizhou at the gatehouse, he was first taken aback, then somewhat puzzled. What did Pei Shizhou want with him?

The old man nodded to Pei Shizhou and went back inside to read the newspaper, leaving Pei Shizhou and Yang Yunjie behind.

"Yang Yunjie, let's find somewhere to talk."

Pei Shizhou spoke first, and Yang Yunjie glanced at him irritably and said, "I'm busy, I'm not going."

After speaking, he turned to leave. Seeing him about to go, Pei Shizhou immediately said, "Yang Yunjie, you wouldn't want a spy to emerge from the Yang family, would you?"

Yang Yunjie stopped in his tracks. As Yang Yunxia's younger brother, Xia Zhiheng had previously visited them, asking if they knew where his older sister had gone.

If they knew anything, they were told not to hide it. To make them take this seriously, they were also told that his older sister might be a spy, and that harboring a spy could land them in jail.

Yang Yunjie was quite frightened at the time, and he didn't want his family to get into trouble because of his older sister's matter.

Upon hearing Pei Shizhou's words, he slowly turned around, his eyes filled with fear and unease. "What...what do you mean by that?"

Pei Shizhou's expression was serious. "Let's find a place, and I'll tell you slowly. If others hear this, it won't do your Yang family any good."

Yang Yunjie gritted his teeth and finally nodded. With Yang Yunxia's arrest and rumors circulating that she still possessed a gun, the Yang family was filled with anxiety, fearing they would be implicated by her.

The fact that Yang Yunxia is a spy hasn't been revealed yet, but after a while everyone will know she is a spy.

Then the Yang family's life will be even more difficult. Even if they don't know that Yang Yunxia is a spy, they won't be arrested and imprisoned for it.

They could very well become pariahs, and Yang Yunjie hoped more than anyone that his older sister, Yang Yunxia, ​​wasn't a spy.

Once outside the factory, Yang Yunjie couldn't wait to ask, "What did you mean by what you just said?"

Pei Shizhou glanced at his watch; it was almost eleven o'clock. The question he wanted to ask was something Yang Yunjie probably couldn't answer in a short time.

"It's almost time to get off work. Why don't you go inside and ask for leave first? We can talk while we eat."

Yang Yunjie thought for a moment and said, "Okay, wait for me here."

Pei Shizhou waited at the door for a short while before Yang Yunjie came out. The two found a small restaurant and sat down in a corner.

After all the dishes were served, Pei Shizhou got straight to the point: "I suspect that the current Yang Yunxia is a spy, and that she has replaced the real Yang Yunxia. I asked you to come out so I could ask you if Yang Yunxia had any suspicious friends around her when she first got married."

After realizing the meaning behind Pei Shizhou's words, Yang Yunjie's expression changed, and he asked nervously, "Are you sure?"

"It's pretty close to the truth. Now I want to find out Yang Yunxia's real identity. So I need your cooperation. I went to see Yang Yunhao before I came here."

He told me that Yang Yunxia had two close female friends after she got married. Do you have any impression of them?

Yang Yunjie was clearly smarter than Yang Yunhao, and Pei Shizhou hoped to get some clues from him.

"You need to give me some time to think about it."

Yang Yunjie's face was grim. No one could accept the fact that his elder sister, with whom he had lived day and night, was a spy. The thought of his mother's previous actions against Yang Yunxia sent a chill down Yang Yunjie's spine.

The fake Yang Yunxia didn't kill the Yang family members, and they've survived to this day. Could this be considered a blessing from our ancestors?

"Okay, let's eat first."

The two ate their meal in silence for a while. Suddenly, Yang Yunjie looked up, his eyes filled with hesitation and reminiscence.

"I remember now, after my older sister got married, she did have a neighbor with whom she had a good relationship. I think her name was Wu something-ling."

Yang Yunjie frowned and tried hard to recall. So many years had passed, yet he could still remember these things, all thanks to his mother's troublemaking at the man's house back then, but unfortunately, her husband beat her up.

He never dared to go to their house to cause trouble again, and could only curse her at home every day. That's why Yang Yunjie still has some impression of her, but so much time has passed that he doesn't remember much.

Wu Meiling

These two brothers are really interesting. Each of them remembered one word, and at least managed to figure out their names.

"Yes, yes, her name was Wu Meiling. Back then, my mom would scold her every day for corrupting my older sister."

At first, the insults were extremely harsh, but after his older sister was reinstated to take the college entrance examination and was among the first batch of students to be admitted to university, the neighbors all looked on with envy, and his mother finally stopped cursing Wu Meiling.

"Do you know where Wu Meiling is now?"

Pei Shizhou had never heard of this name before, so he figured the family probably wasn't living near the Xia family's old residence right now.

"I don't know. It seems she came here to stay with relatives. She moved away before my sister even gave birth to Zhiqian."

Yang Yunjie learned all of this from his mother, though he didn't know where she had found out.

As soon as he gets home from work in the evening, his mother sits there and starts rambling on and on, but he just lets it go in one ear and out the other.

I couldn't resist her talking about it every day, so I listened to some of it and it was hard not to remember it.

"Anything else? Do you know Yang Yunxia, ​​that college classmate of yours?"

"I've never met her classmate, and I don't even know her name, but I've heard my mom and Yang Yunhao talk about her at home."

At that time, his mother and younger brother were plotting at home to ruin the girl's reputation, trying to get Yang Yunxia to lure her to their home. However, Yang Yunxia refused no matter what.

Not long after, he heard that the girl had left, which made his mother so angry that she beat and scolded Yang Yunxia.

"Alright, I understand everything you've said. Come find me again if you remember anything else. If we can find out that this Yang Yunxia is an imposter, it will also benefit your Yang family. I hope you go back and think it over carefully."

After saying that, Pei Shizhou buried his head in his food and stopped talking, and Yang Yunjie also remained silent.

After they finished their meal, Pei Shizhou paid the bill, and the two walked out of the restaurant together. As they were leaving, Yang Yunjie suddenly called out to Pei Shizhou.

"You can ask Xia Guoan about Yang Yunxia's affairs at school; he definitely knows more than we do."

"it is good"
