Chapter 346

Soon, the Revolutionary Committee held an interim meeting regarding the escape of the labour reformer from the Shanshui Farm. Director Qin of the Revolutionary Committee, Director Song of the Shanshui Labour Farm, the former Director of the County Public Security Bureau, Deputy Director Li and Gao also attended the meeting. Naturally, the two involved parties were present as well.

The clerk first told the story of the matter accurately and in a simple manner.

Zhang Heilu shouted, “Han Qinghua escaped, so it must be his brother who used some tricks. Otherwise, how could he have escaped if he was guarded so tightly?”

Han Qingsong sat there, facial expression as deep as a dark body of water, not saying a word.

Deputy Director Li asked, “Han Qingsong, what do you have to say?”

Han Qingsong said lightly, “I wasn’t at the farm and I don’t know the situation, so I have nothing to say.”

Deputy Director Li’s facial expressions froze in place— he tried to give the man a chance, but he actually didn’t bother and brushed it off just like that. What an ungrateful person.

Deputy Director Gao smiled and said, “I was not at the farm either, so I don’t know of the situation as well. Hence, let us have those who knew what happened talk about it properly. Where’s Han Qinghua anyways, did you find him?” He asked Zhang Heilu.

Zhang Heilu was rather sulky. Originally, he was sure that Han Qinghua would run towards the Shanzui Village’s houses. He didn’t have the skills to survive if he were to escape to other places, which meant that he wouldn’t be able to solve the problem of food, water and shelter if he were to go anywhere else.

Who would have thought that Han Qinghua was never caught in the Shanzui Village. Zhang Heilu insistently believed that Han Qinghua was in the village, just hidden away by his brother, “We will organise a search. But if you don’t allow us to, that simply means that you are hiding something.”

Han Qingyun couldn’t help but say, “Stop trying to force words into other people’s mouths. Our village’s Secretary Head, Security Director and Captain all signed and stamped the agreement with their fingerprints. Han Qinghua is not in our village at all. If he were to ever run back, our patrolling team would be the first one to arrest him.”

The joint-signature agreement was also there.

The former Director looked at it and passed it onto the others.

Han Yongfang united with the village officials to guarantee that Han Qinghua was not in the village. This guarantee was actually very powerful. After all, the village soldiers patrolled day and night during the autumn harvest, so if they were to deny seeing Han Qinghua, it would be nothing but the truth. If he were to be found in the village, they were willing to share the burden of the consequences.

Given Han Yongfang’s integrity, they believed that it was true.

Luo Haicheng said, “At the beginning, these prisoners were working in Zhang Hei…the Platoon Leader’s area, and there were soldiers guarding Han Qinghua all the time as well. If he managed to actually run away, either they neglected their duties as guards or they deliberately let their guard down to allow his escape. No matter what, this has something to do with him.”

“In your mother’s dreams!” Zhang Heilu yelled, cracking his neck.

“Zhang Heilu, pay attention to your language!” Deputy Director Gao slammed his hand on the table, “Is this a place where you can behave in such an unrestrained manner?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Scolding Zhang Heilu, Deputy Director Gao himself couldn’t help laughing. For God’s sake, that man was indeed uselessly born. With a name like that, he should have changed it when he enrolled in the military, but he just had to stick with that awful name that reminded everyone of a donkey for the rest of his life. He himself didn’t feel embarrassed about it, but anyone that wanted to address him felt bad about it or couldn’t keep a straight face.
