Lu Linchuan shook his head. "I can't eat."

"Wife, I will protect you from now on and never let you suffer any harm again."

"Mmm." Su Wantang snuggled into the man's arms, gently rubbing her face against his chest.

At this moment, the scene is warm and beautiful.

That day, when Lu Linchuan was about to submit all the evidence, a young soldier in charge of file management at the hospital approached him, looking hesitant and unsure of what to say.

"Commander... there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"explain."

The young soldier's voice trailed off: "Today I heard that my sister-in-law had an accident, and then I remembered... a few days ago, I saw Xiao Zhang take Zheng Nana to their house. The two of them seemed very close."

Lu Linchuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

It seems that Zheng Nana is also involved in the incident of switching pregnancy test reports!

In the interrogation room, Xiao Zhang trembled with fear, his face deathly pale.

"It wasn't me... I don't know anything..." He kept repeating this one sentence.

Lu Linchuan sat opposite him, not angry, but calmly looking at him, and slowly said, "You like Zheng Nana, don't you?"

Xiao Zhang's body stiffened.

"You think she'll be interested in you just because you did all these things for her?" Lu Linchuan's tone carried a hint of barely perceptible pity. "Do you know what she said about you behind your back? She said you're a toad, and you should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. You think you're worthy of even thinking about her?"

Xiao Zhang's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

"No...it's impossible! Nana isn't that kind of person!"

"Whether she's that kind of person or not, you know it in your heart." Lu Linchuan continued his psychological maneuvering. "She even came to me and said that if I was willing to divorce Su Wantang and marry her, she could help me get a higher position. Do you think a woman who even dared to seduce me would be sincere to you?"

Every word was like a heavy hammer blow to Xiao Zhang's heart. The light in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by humiliation and despair.

Lu Linchuan stood up, walked to his side, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Zhang, I've checked your file. You're an only child from the countryside. Your parents worked hard to raise you into a soldier. It wasn't easy, was it? If they knew that you would do something so vicious as to deliberately harm a military family member for a woman who looks down on you, how would they ever be able to hold their heads up in the village again?"

“Once you are convicted, your life will be ruined. What will happen to your frail and sickly mother, and your father who is hoping you will bring honor to the family?”

"Wow--"

Xiao Zhang couldn't hold on any longer; his mental defenses completely collapsed, and he buried his head in his hands, sobbing uncontrollably.

"I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything!" he sobbed uncontrollably. "It was Zheng Nana! She made me do it all! She said that if I helped her get rid of Su Wantang's child, she... she would be with me! She made me switch the pregnancy test report, and scattering stones on the road was her idea! She said that if Su Wantang lost her child, you would divorce her... I was bewitched... I'm not human..."

With Zhang's confession and signed statement obtained, everything was settled.

Lu Linchuan took the irrefutable evidence and went directly to Commander Zheng's office.

Brigadier General Zheng's hair turned white overnight. Looking at the confession filled with his daughter's vicious schemes, his hands trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.

“Brigade Commander Zheng,” Lu Linchuan’s voice was cold and hard, “I respect you as an elder, as my former leader. But in this matter, there is no room for leniency. Zheng Nana deliberately murdered a military family member; her methods were heinous and the impact was extremely negative. I demand that the military court deal with her severely!”

Brigade Commander Zheng closed his eyes, his face filled with pain and regret.

After a long silence, he opened his eyes and said hoarsely to Lu Linchuan, "Linchuan, I'm sorry... I failed in my duty to raise my daughter. I'm sorry to you, and even more sorry to Wan Tang... Don't worry, I will not show favoritism. Everything... will be handled according to the rules." (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
