In fact, assisting with investigations was everyone’s duty, so the Deputy Director of the factory was taken away directly.
Bai Zhi took all the materials with her as she followed them out, thinking to herself.
"Brother Xiao Qi, I’d like to have a couple more words with the old gentleman from the archives room earlier."
Bai Zhi bought some fruits and went back to the archives room.
The old man was sipping tea when Bai Zhi brought the fruits over.
"Grandfather, I want to ask you something else – do they truly despise each other this much?"
If they were indeed at odds like fire and water, things could not possibly be as they seemed.
"That depends on what you think," the old man said while looking at Bai Zhi, giving a smile but then remaining silent.
"Grandfather, I don’t think that’s the case. What do you think?"
Bai Zhi sat down beside the old man, looking around the small archives room, which was where the factory kept all its documentation.
"Grandfather, may I look through your materials?"
What exactly did this factory do, with all its various parts? But what, specifically?
"Grandfather, what exactly does your factory have?"
Bai Zhi stayed in the archives room for three hours before finally leaving. The old man was still as comfortable as when she had first arrived, lounging leisurely in the small room.
Back in the car, the Deputy Director was considerably unwilling to cooperate.
"Comrade, what exactly are you trying to do? I still have to hand over responsibilities tomorrow. If you delay our work, can you take responsibility for that? Our factory is the hope of the entire county; it has provided employment opportunities for many people."
But Bai Zhi merely laughed coldly at this.
"Are you providing opportunities to supply parts for bad people?"
The Deputy Director was taken aback, then spoke angrily.
"What are you talking about, little girl?"
By now, Bai Zhi had some thoughts, but there were still aspects she didn’t understand, though that didn’t mean she would always be in the dark.
"Brother Xiao Qi, you go back and question him slowly. Take me to the Nanning City Library. They surely have all the magazines there. I want to read all the issues of the magazine ’X’, as well as its various scripture-like publications."
Seeing Bai Zhi’s serious demeanor, Xiao Qi nodded immediately. He had a lot of respect for this girl.
Taking the Deputy Director to the station, Bai Zhi entrusted him to Old Han, telling him to spend a quiet day there.
Bai Zhi followed Xiao Qi to the library instantly, as Bai Xin and Wu Wa had already gone back earlier.
Because Bai Zhi could not leave just then, and Wu Wa still had to attend school.
The Nanning City Library was the largest library in the area, with a comprehensive collection of categories. Bai Zhi and Xiao Qi registered for a membership card and went straight in to choose.
Xiao Qi was responsible for the scriptures, and Bai Zhi for finding the magazines. By the time they gathered them all, the stack was as tall as Bai Zhi.
All magazines from the last decade to the present.
"So many, how to read them all?"
Xiao Qi was a bit stunned; he hadn’t expected there would be so much, including scriptures.
"We have to read, even if we can’t finish. Brother Xiao Qi, let’s piece together all the conversations.
Actually, because communication isn’t developed now, their letters are not good for disguise, but it’s different with magazines. As long as there’s a special method, even under everyone’s watchful eyes, it’s not easy to be detected. But what they don’t know is that not easy doesn’t mean impossible. Even if it takes all night, we must go through them all."
If one magazine corresponds to one person, then there would be three types of magazines here. One for Mu Yi, one for the Deputy Director, and who is the third?
