Chapter 111: List of Whistleblowers

What happened next confirmed Yuan Xiu's suspicion that Xiao Hua'er was a double agent.

Two days after the Zhou family left, the security department received a list of names to report.

This is a list of spies, containing more than a hundred names and detailed information about their positions, names, and locations, ranging from high-ranking officials to ordinary citizens.

Upon receiving the list, the military immediately established an investigation team.

While reporting to the highest authorities, they also began investigating the authenticity of the information.

"That's incredibly detailed!"

Commander Ye examined the list repeatedly. "We've interrogated Cheng Yufen and Sun Dacheng for so long, but we haven't gotten much out of them. Is this suddenly appearing list real or fake? If it is, only their insiders would know so much about it!"

After analysis, senior leaders believed that the list came from within the intelligence community, and the person who made the whistleblower was of a relatively high rank within the intelligence community.

"It's likely that all the spies in North China are under his control."

Everyone was curious about the identity of the whistleblower, but no matter how they searched, they couldn't find any information.

Some people think he is a spy within our ranks, while others think he is a "returnee" who has realized his mistakes.

Because of this list, even without the confessions of Cheng Yufen and others, the military system and the General Staff Department, which is specifically responsible for counter-espionage work, quickly carried out arrests and confirmed the authenticity of all the agents on the list.

There wasn't a single wrong list. On the contrary, because of the arrest of people on the list, spies who weren't on the list were uncovered through interrogation.

Among them, some cadres and intellectuals who had been deliberately framed by secret agents were also rescued.

Because of secrecy, Yuan Xiu was unaware of it at first. It was only after the "purge plan" was completed that she learned about it from a newspaper report titled "121 spies captured" and "exposing the conspiracy and deterring the enemy."

This case became the largest "counter-espionage case" since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Aside from Xiao Hua'er, Yuan Xiu couldn't think of anyone else. Such a big incident would be reported by the commune even in a remote rural area, with loudspeakers. She couldn't possibly not know about it in her past life.

Then it can only be her.

"Yuan Xiu, what are you thinking about so intently?" Hao Jia ran in from outside, holding two small flags. "Don't just sit there, come out and see what's going on! It's very lively outside!"

Yuan Xiu was pulled out of the hospital by Hao Jia. Most of the people in the hospital had run out, and there were many people standing on the street outside. Almost everyone was holding a flag, and Hao Jia also stuffed one into Yuan Xiu's hand.

Young girls with red ribbons tied around their waists danced the Yangko in the street with joyful smiles.

Some people played the erhu, some played the flute, some beat gongs, and some banged drums. Regardless of age, everyone spontaneously followed behind them, and the whole street became a sea of ​​joy!

"Isn't it lively!" Hao Jia shouted in her ear.

Yuan Xiu nodded with a smile, "It's lively!"

She looked at the banner held high in everyone's hands, which read:

"Warmest congratulations on the capture of the spy!"

"Resolutely crush the sabotage activities of spies and safeguard the people's country!"

"With the military and civilians working together, we capture spies; with a net cast wide in the sky, we apprehend traitors!"

"Spies have nowhere to hide; the people's eyes are sharp!"

There are dozens of banners like these, large and small, each with a different slogan.

After reading the newspapers, the people learned that the country had crushed a large spy organization, and they spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate this great victory!

Waving the flag in her hand, Yuan Xiu was pulled by Hao Jia into this sea of ​​joy.

"Wow, Yuan Xiu, you dance the Yangko so well!" Hao Jia exclaimed, her eyes widening in exaggerated surprise.

Yuan Xiu smiled and said, "You danced very well too!"

At this moment, she thought of Xiaohua again. She wondered if Xiaohua and her family had settled down by now, and if their place was as lively as this.

She shouldn't miss out on this lively occasion.

……

With the capture of the spies, the whereabouts of the missing Aunt Yuan were also discovered.

"She's been caught," Jiang Zhou and Yuan Xiu said.

Contrary to what they had expected, Aunt Yuan was not harmed and has actually been doing quite well during this time.

When she was arrested, she was living with the old farmer who took her away in a house in the next county town.

If she had really been murdered, the Yuan family and her maternal family, who were implicated by her, would still have some hope. But she is still alive and living with the spies.

Who would believe she was unaware of it?

"Previously, she only had connections with spies, but now her identity as a spy has been completely confirmed; she has been infiltrated."

Everything that happened after Aunt Yuan was taken away was presented to the investigation team based on the statements of the two individuals.

"After she was taken away, the secret agents did follow Cheng Yufen's orders to kill her, but Cheng Yufen was arrested soon after. After receiving the news, the secret agents did not kill her. Instead, they used a gold ring to win her over and took her to infiltrate the neighboring county."

Yuan Xiu wasn't surprised at all. If she could be attracted by Cheng Yufen's small favors, how could she resist a bigger temptation?

Aunt Yuan's remaining life will likely be spent in prison.

……

"Yuan Juan, step forward!"

At the militiaman's shout, Yuan Juan, who was sitting on the ground selecting wheat seeds, stood up tremblingly and said, "Here!"

"You! Go and sow some wheat seeds."

Yuan Juan was stunned, and quickly said, sticking out her pregnant belly, "Leader, I'm pregnant. When I came here, the farm cadres told me to do easy work."

Planting wheat seeds requires bending over constantly, which she couldn't bear.

"Just go when I tell you to! Stop with all the nonsense!"

The militiaman rolled his eyes at her impatiently. "You're a spy, we're already being lenient by not making you dig the ground, and you dare to complain! I think you just need reformation! From now on, you won't be doing any of these easy jobs!"

"I'm not a spy! My mother was killed by spies, it has nothing to do with me."

The militiaman scoffed, "Your mother wasn't harmed by spies; she is a spy, and she's already been arrested!"

After leaving those words, the militiamen left. Someone walked up to her and hung a basket full of wheat seeds around her neck.

Yuan Juan was bent over by the weight...

In the middle of the night, a torrential downpour suddenly began. Fearing that the newly planted wheat seeds would be washed away by the rain, the farm organized everyone to go to the fields to carry out emergency repairs. They were busy until the sky began to lighten.

When the militiamen were counting their men, they discovered that Yuan Juan had disappeared sometime during the day.

The farm officials then sent several militiamen to search for her, and they found her by the river two kilometers away from the farm.

Yuan Juan died while fleeing. It was a dark and windy night, and she was unfamiliar with the area. In her panic and without any light, she lost her footing and fell into a ditch.

The ditch wasn't deep, but she still drowned.
