He leaned against the wall, panting heavily, a feeling of exhaustion from surviving a disaster washing over him.

Thank goodness... thank goodness...

He walked into the ward and looked at Su Wantang's pale sleeping face. His heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and the pain made it hard for him to breathe.

He sat on the edge of the bed, holding her cold hand, and stayed by her side without moving.

The fear of losing something and then regaining it quickly transformed into overwhelming anger and a chilling sense of dread.

This is no accident!

My wife is always cautious. She has walked that road countless times. How could she have fallen for no reason?

A storm brewed in his eyes. He rose and walked out of the ward, ordering his guards, "Go to the scene of the accident and block off that section of the road. Don't miss a single pebble. Investigate thoroughly!"

Half an hour later, the guard returned, carrying several pebbles in his hands.

"Commander, look."

Lu Linchuan took the stone, and with just one glance, his eyes darkened to the bottom.

These pebbles were completely different from the other stones on the road. They were perfectly round, with a smooth surface as if coated with oil, offering almost no friction. It was precisely this kind of material, mixed among the rough stones, that became the most deadly trap.

This was premeditated murder!

"Go ask! Who was in that area this morning!" Lu Linchuan's voice was as cold as ice.

Soon, the news came back. Sun Xiulian found Lu Linchuan; her face was pale and her voice was trembling.

“Commander Lu, I… I got up this morning to get some water, and I think… I think I saw Nana from Brigade Commander Zheng’s family sneaking away from your yard.” Sun Xiulian looked terrified. “It wasn’t even dawn yet, so I thought I was seeing things and didn’t think much of it. Who knew… who knew something like this would happen!”

Jung Nana!

Lu Linchuan's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he exuded a terrifying aura.

Almost at the same time, another military wife reported that she saw Zheng Nana alone on the beach yesterday evening, with her head down as if she was picking something up, and she filled a whole bag with it.

All the clues point to the same person.

Lu Linchuan remained silent, turned around, and strode towards Commander Zheng's house.

At that moment, Zheng Nana was leisurely painting her nails at home when she heard the commotion outside and frowned impatiently.

The door was kicked open from the outside with a bang.

Lu Linchuan appeared at the door like a demon, accompanied by two guards.

Zheng Nana was startled, and the nail polish bottle in her hand fell to the ground with a "crash" and shattered.

"Commander Lu... Commander Lu? What... what are you doing?" She stood up guiltily, trying to remain calm.

Lu Linchuan's gaze was like a knife scraping across her face, his voice devoid of any warmth: "What were you doing at my door this morning?"

Zheng Nana's heart skipped a beat, but she forced an innocent expression on her face: "I didn't! Commander Lu, are you mistaken? I haven't left the house all day."

"Didn't go out?" Lu Linchuan sneered. "Sister-in-law Sun saw you leave my yard with her own eyes. Someone else saw you collect a bag of pebbles on the beach yesterday. Zheng Nana, are you still trying to deny it?"

Zheng Nana's face instantly lost all color.

She never imagined that someone would see it so early!

"I...I didn't! They're mistaken! They're just jealous of me and trying to frame me!" she screamed, making a final attempt to protest.

"Take her away!" Lu Linchuan was too lazy to waste any more words with her and directly gave the order to the guards.

Two guards stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Nana, one on each side.

"Let me go! What are you doing! My dad is Brigade Commander Zheng! How dare you touch me?!" Zheng Nana struggled frantically, appearing completely insane.

Just then, Brigade Commander Zheng arrived after hearing the news. Upon seeing the scene, his face turned ashen: "Stop! Lu Linchuan, what exactly is going on?!"
