Chapter 2708 Author

Liu Fusheng asked: "When did you discover these things?"

Tang Shaohao sighed, "Back when I was defeated by you in Fengliao Province, my family confined me to my home. By chance, I returned to my ancestral home to worship and stumbled upon something unusual."

Liu Fusheng asked in surprise, "Why didn't you tell your family?"

Tang Shaohao said, "Shaojie is my biological brother. He could have fled abroad like Zhao Youzhi and lived in hiding. But because of his arrogant personality, average intelligence, and lack of ability, he was abandoned by his family... His greatest use in this life is to appease Chief Bai's anger and buy time for the Tang family's conspiracy. If I tell anyone about this, I will be doing Shaojie a disservice."

Tang Shaohao's expression showed a hint of sadness.

Liu Fusheng nodded slowly and said, "I suddenly remembered something about Tang Shaoxiong."

Tang Shaohao smiled and said, "He shouldn't be his father's biological child. If I'm not mistaken, his father should be Uncle Wang."

Liu Fusheng raised his eyebrows: "You know all this?"

Tang Shaohao said: "Uncle Wang has never disobeyed my father's orders, but because Tang Shaohao disobeyed them twice, especially the time in Hong Kong Island, my people were near Tang Shaoxiong's residence at the time. Uncle Wang not only let him go, but also helped him attract the attention of the arrest team."

As he spoke, he laughed at himself: "I even feel that the person who led us astray was Uncle Wang."

Liu Fusheng was silent for a moment before he said, "Your intuition is indeed very accurate. Uncle Wang is from the organization that Yoshizawa Minglu belongs to. He is O among the three intelligence reports. He has been lurking in Yanjing."

"The letter O? How did you guess that?" Tang Shaohao asked.

Liu Fusheng said, "With Mr. Tang's status, it's impossible for him to join a so-called spy organization. As the spy organization's largest source of intelligence in the country, he must have someone around him responsible for monitoring and guiding him."

"Mr. Tang's purpose in contacting overseas isn't to gain wealth, but to secure support from overseas forces. Therefore, someone needs to be responsible for all of this. Uncle Wang is a very suitable candidate for both parties."

"I used to wonder why Uncle Wang, who had followed Old Tang since childhood and was baptized by blood and fire, had fallen to this point. Later, when I learned about Tang Shaoxiong's life story, I realized that overseas spy organizations must have known this secret long ago. This was like holding Uncle Wang's Achilles' heel. If he didn't want to face Old Tang, who knew the truth, he had to obey the spies' orders."

Tang Shaohao sighed, "These spies are truly omnipresent. I can't figure out how they knew this secret."

Liu Fusheng also sighed and said, "Is it possible that this incident was planned by a spy organization?"

Tang Shaohao nodded and said, "I can't rule out this possibility. Since Tang Shaoxiong already knows his life story and was nearly killed by his father twice, he will surely not keep it secret. He should have confessed everything he should have, right?"

Liu Fusheng said, "Indeed, Mr. Tang has made great contributions to the country and has deep-rooted connections in Yanjing. If we want to bring him to justice, we must have sufficient evidence."

Tang Shaohao said, "My father is able to take it or leave it. He probably won't cause too much trouble for your interrogation because he knows very well that whether he speaks or not, the result will be the same."

Tang Shaohao looked at the pedestrians on the street, but his thoughts drifted far away.

"When we were little, my father told us four brothers this: 'Everyone should leave something behind. If we can't leave a name in history, we'll try to leave a lasting infamy... Now he's done it. I wonder if he's satisfied with it?"

After saying this, Tang Shaohao stood up and said, "You still have work to do, so I won't waste your time."

Liu Fusheng also stood up and said with a smile: "I am very happy to chat with you when the sun rises."

Tang Shaohao patted Liu Fusheng on the shoulder and said, "Stories are written by the victors. You are the writer, so of course you should be very happy."

"By the way, Lu Zijian has a very good personality. If you don't let him spy on me, we might become friends."

Liu Fusheng laughed heartily. "I'm very glad that at the last moment, my opponent wasn't you. Otherwise, this story would have been filled with many more variables. Perhaps it would have taken several years for us to determine the winner."

Tang Shaohao walked away without looking back, leaving only one sentence behind, echoing in the wind: "Plans cannot keep up with changes. I believe you will have a better future."

Liu Fusheng said, "You too."

……

The turbulent night in Yanjing had no impact on ordinary people. In the news and newspapers, only the personnel appointment and dismissal decisions of sixty or seventy words were announced, which was not even a topic of conversation after dinner.

Just as Tang Shaohao expected, Mr. Tang, as well as Tang Shaoying and Tang Shaoxiong, did not put up any futile resistance and quickly confessed to their illegal and criminal activities.

For various reasons, Mr. Tang was not publicly tried. Everyone knew that he was still alive, but no one could see him again.

Both Tang Shaoying and Tang Shaoxiong were sentenced to suspended death penalty and will be under special surveillance behind bars. They will probably spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Wang Shuhe, Qin Guang, Wang Jianping, Ya Cai and a series of other criminals all brought this upon themselves and were sentenced to death and executed immediately.

Since Tang Shaohao had not participated in any illegal or disciplinary violations that betrayed national interests, he was not affected by this incident. Instead, at the suggestion of relevant departments, he went to a remote city and served as deputy mayor, mainly responsible for local economic construction and people's livelihood.

After receiving the appointment, Tang Shaohao went there with pleasure.

For him, being in a poor and backward area is a better way to demonstrate his abilities and ambitions.

Before he took office, he registered his marriage with a woman named Lu Xiaoming at the Civil Affairs Bureau. The woman was very beautiful and gentle, and seemed to be a simple-minded person.

Against the backdrop of the country's economic recovery, people soon forgot the brief personnel changes reported in the newspapers and began to excitedly welcome the upcoming event.

"Fuyuan Welcomes You" composed by Liu Fusheng was changed into "Yanjing Welcomes You" and became the promotional song for the event, spreading across the country and even around the world.

Also, the song "As Wish" which he wrote when he proposed to his wife has been adapted and has become a song for the new generation of young people to pay tribute to the older generation of founders of the Republic.

These songs and works have led many people to believe that Liu Fusheng is a very talented songwriter with very few works. At most, he has the same name as a certain leader.

This is also normal. Throughout history, writers have always thought of venting their emotions through their works when they encountered setbacks. Where do those leaders who have risen to prominence have the time to calm down and engage in creation?

On the opening day of the event, Liu Fusheng and Bai Ruchu held a low-key wedding. No guests were invited to the wedding. Only Liu Fusheng's parents, Chief Bai and a few others attended.
