Downstairs, Xu Xinning was about to go out and throw away the bottle of golden juice when she was stopped by the dean, three security guards, and a female nurse. The female nurse searched her and found a small medicine bottle containing the golden juice.

The dean stared wide-eyed at Xu Xinning in disbelief.

"Dr. Xu, you secretly smeared gold juice on Comrade Feng Yidong's still unhealed face. You are so vicious. Why did you do this?"

Xu Xinning hadn't expected to be exposed. In her panic, she vehemently denied it: "I have no grudge against Comrade Feng Yidong. I did this just for fun. I didn't put it on Comrade Feng Yingdong's face. You've got it wrong. There's someone else who wants to harm him. You should search the hospital again."

"Dr. Xu, stop making excuses. You're the only one in the entire hospital who could have smeared this on Comrade Feng Yidong's face. Tell me, who makes this 'golden juice' just for fun? Dr. Xu, why did you do this?"

"I, I really didn't put gold paint on Feng Yidong's face."

But no matter how she tried to argue, she couldn't change the dean's decision.

"You're the only one who has the golden juice; you can't deny it."

"Does having the gold paste prove that I applied it to him? Unless someone saw it with their own eyes."

Later, after further investigation, another nurse said she saw her enter Feng Yidong's ward, and at that time, Xu Xinning was not in her office.

When Lin Qingyan learned that Xu Xinning was the one who possessed the Golden Branch, she instantly understood Xu Xinning's purpose in doing so.

Xu Xinning didn't want to ruin Feng Yidong; she wanted to ruin herself.

The dean recalled Dong Bonian's instructions to take care of Xu Xinning. He knew that Xu Xinning's dismissal was inevitable. He was still hesitating whether to report the matter to the military and request the military court to make a ruling on Xu Xinning.

However, as the victim, Feng Yidong was determined to report the matter to his military leaders and seek justice for himself.

Soon, the political department of the army came to arrest Xu Xinning.

Xu Xinning really didn't want to go with the people from the Political Department. She didn't want to go to a military court, and she certainly didn't want to go to jail.

At the critical moment, she thought of Grandpa Dong and Dong Bonian; they should be able to save her.

But who could she ask to pass on the news of her arrest to them?

She pleaded with the dean, "Could I see my grandfather first? I also want to call my uncle."

She was implying to the dean that he should give her this opportunity out of consideration for her grandfather and uncle.

The dean looked at the comrades in the political department with some difficulty, but they were all ruthless and indifferent.

"Your family will be notified later; you must come with us now."

No, no.

Despite Xu Xinning's reluctance, two soldiers came over, grabbed her arms from the left and right, and took her away.

After returning home, Lin Qingyan knew that even if she didn't tell Grandpa Dong about Xu Xinning's arrest, Grandpa Dong would find out soon enough.

She might as well just say it directly.

"Grandma, Grandpa, I have something to tell you about Xinning."

"What's up?"

Lin Qingyan looked at Grandpa Dong and said, "Grandpa, it's not a good thing. Before I tell you, you should be prepared."

"Ah? Xinning, what's wrong with him?" Old Master Dong's face immediately showed a worried expression.

Grandma Lin, standing to the side, remained expressionless, though she seemed to be secretly gloating.

That brat doesn't like Qingyan, she'd better not ruin her own life.

Lin Qingyan then told Grandpa Dong about what had happened at the hospital that day.

Old Master Dong immediately turned pale: "How could she do such a thing? Doesn't she have any future?"

Granny Lin said, "Old man, haven't you noticed that she's deliberately targeting Qingyan? That soldier has no grudge against her, but he's Qingyan's patient. She's secretly trying to harm that soldier, isn't it all to frame Qingyan?"

Old man, think this through carefully. You absolutely cannot interfere in her affairs; she should take responsibility for the mistakes she made.

After hearing what Granny Lin said, Grandpa Dong felt very complicated.

After a while, he shook his head: "I won't save her. She made the mistake herself, so she should take responsibility for it."

The next day, Dong Yue also learned about this. He came to see Old Master Dong, but he had no intention of helping Xu Xinning escape punishment. He simply said, "She deserves this punishment."

Two days later, Mr. Dong received a phone call from Dong Bonian in Beijing, informing him that Dong Wenhua had been arrested for colluding with foreign spies.

Old Master Dong felt a chill in his heart.

Fortunately, with Lin Qingyan and Grandma Lin by her side, the incident involving Xu Xinning and Dong Wenhua did not have a significant impact on her.

More than half a month later, Lu Zhengting was about to go on a mission when he received news that his comrade had been seriously injured in a sudden accident. Since his comrade was seriously injured, he could no longer carry out the mission.

Now he was the only one left, and his superiors told him that the mission had to be postponed.

But he had a different idea: only when there was one person left could he make better use of the space.

"I am willing to carry out this mission alone. Please approve."

"Going alone would be much more dangerous, and the chances of success would be much smaller."

“Going alone can reduce the risk of exposure by half, thereby increasing the chances of success.”

Based on his numerous outstanding performances in the past, the leaders, after discussion, decided that he would carry out this task alone.
