Chapter 60 Rumored to be Sterile? I Went Back That Night

The treatment continued throughout the night.

Only one dim lamp was on in the bedroom.

Gu Beichen lay on the bed, revealing his strong and muscular back and waist.

Su Yue sat on the edge of the bed, her expression focused, her slender fingers twisting silver needles, precisely inserting them into the acupoints on his lower back.

Inevitably, there was a lot of physical contact between the two.

Her fingertips would occasionally brush against his burning skin, sending a slight shiver down his spine.

The air was filled with a faint scent of herbs and his unique masculine aroma, creating an ambiguous yet reassuring fragrance.

Gu Beichen's tall figure before her disarmed her, revealing all his guard and coldness, like a lion that had folded its claws, meekly allowing her to do as she pleased.

He became completely henpecked; if Su Yue said east, he would never go west.

He didn't even flinch when asked to take his medicine.

He endured the pain even when he received acupuncture.

Looking at him like this, Su Yue felt both soft-hearted and sweet.

This man laid bare his true heart and presented it to her without reservation.

In the midst of this warm and ambiguous atmosphere, the telephone in the living room suddenly rang, sharp and piercing.

Gu Beichen suddenly opened his eyes, his constant vigilance causing him to sit up instantly.

It was an urgent call from Hainan Island.

Gu Beichen put on his clothes, went out to answer the phone, and after only a few sentences, his entire aura changed.

The cold, terrifying killing intent belonging to the special forces captain erupted without warning, making the temperature in the entire living room seem to drop several degrees.

"What did you say? Say it again!" His voice was filled with suppressed rage.

Su Yue also got dressed and came out, just in time to see Gu Beichen gripping the receiver tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

On the other end of the phone was the panicked, tearful voice of guard Xiao Wang.

"Commander! Something bad has happened! It seems that Liang Manyun spread the rumor that you failed your medical exam, and it's all over the family compound now!"

"They said...that you have a hidden illness and can't have children at all! They also said that Sister-in-law Su Yue is only staying because of your status..."

boom!

Gu Beichen's mind went blank.

A soldier's privacy and reputation, especially in the military, are more important than life itself!

Liang Manyun, she's digging up his roots and ruining his future!

This put him and Su Yue in a very difficult position!

"She's asking for it!"

Gu Beichen squeezed out three words through gritted teeth, his murderous aura almost tangible.

Su Yue remained unusually calm.

She walked over to Gu Beichen and took the receiver from his hand.

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Wang was still anxiously reporting that the family compound was in an uproar, with all sorts of nasty things being said.

Su Yue simply spoke one sentence into the receiver.

"Keep an eye on her, don't let her get away."

"I'll deal with her myself when I get back."

Her tone was flat, so flat that it was completely calm, yet it exuded an undeniable and chilling aura of dominance.

Xiao Wang on the other end of the phone fell silent instantly.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yue looked at Gu Beichen, whose eyes were bloodshot, and grasped his cold hand.

“We’ll go back immediately.”

Anger surged in Gu Beichen's deep eyes. He looked at Su Yue with heartache and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry you had to suffer."

"Feeling wronged?" Su Yue raised an eyebrow. "Those two words don't exist in my dictionary. I only believe in one thing: avenge a wrong on the spot, never let it linger overnight."

She paused, a sly glint in her eyes.

"I want to go back and see for myself what kind of courage Liang Manyun has."

Looking at her defiant and stubborn demeanor, Gu Beichen felt a surge of warmth wash over his anger.

He nodded, his tone one of complete indulgence and support.

"Okay, let's go back. I'll make arrangements right away to take the nearest express military train."

When the Gu family elders learned of Liang Manyun's evil deeds, they were equally furious.

Gu Zhengfeng slammed his hand on the table. The deputy commander of the military region roared, "Outrageous! This is a rumor! This is sabotage of a military marriage! I'll call the military region's top brass immediately. This matter will not be tolerated!"

Zhang Huilan held Su Yue's hand with heartache, her eyes reddening.

Before they left, the family saw them off at the door.

Su Yue's gaze fell on Chu Jingya, who had been standing quietly to the side.

She suddenly smiled, as if asking casually.

"Jingya, did your mother... also have a white jade phoenix hairpin?"

Chu Jingya's gentle and dignified smile froze instantly.

Late that night, an urgent military train bound for Hainan Island sped through the darkness.

This is a military-only carriage, much quieter than the regular carriages. Most of the passengers are soldiers returning to their units or on business trips, and they are extremely disciplined.

The carriage was dimly lit, and most people were already asleep. The only sound was the regular clanging of the wheels on the rails.

Su Yue leaned on Gu Beichen's shoulder, seemingly resting with her eyes closed, but her keen hearing and mental energy spread out, alerting her surroundings.

Suddenly, she slightly opened her eyes.

Not far away, a middle-aged couple sitting in a corner caught her attention.

The man was wearing an ill-fitting old cadre uniform, while the woman was dressed in a drab gray cloth. Both of them looked somewhat nervous, their eyes darting around as they constantly glanced at their surroundings.

What Su Yue cared about most was the baby wrapped in thick cloth in their arms.

Three or four hours have passed since the baby boarded the bus, and the baby hasn't uttered a sound or even moved.

This is very abnormal.

For an infant, if they don't cry or fuss for a long time, there are only two possibilities: either they are extremely sick, or... they have been drugged.

Su Yue subtly tapped Gu Beichen's palm twice with her fingertips, then gestured with her eyes to that corner.

Gu Beichen instantly understood.

His sharp, hawk-like eyes glanced at the couple briefly, and he immediately sensed something was amiss.

The two men had a lingering earthy smell, and the calluses on their hands were different from those of farmers; they looked more like the marks left from years of hard labor.

Their nervousness wasn't due to their restraint in front of soldiers, but rather the fear of having a guilty conscience.

Gu Beichen did not make any rash moves. He simply adjusted his posture, holding Su Yue even tighter in his arms, while observing the layout of the carriage out of the corner of his eye, memorizing the positions of the plainclothes police officers.

The tacit understanding between husband and wife flows silently.

Just then, the baby in the couple's arms seemed to be losing its effects of the medicine and suddenly let out a very faint groan, like that of a kitten.

"Waaah..."

Although the sound was soft, it was exceptionally clear in the quiet carriage.

The couple panicked instantly!

The woman frantically tried to cover the baby's mouth with a thicker cloth, while the man glared at her fiercely and muttered in a low voice, "Useless thing! Knock him out already!"
