Chapter 80: Stealing a kiss from my wife at night, how did that make me a "wild man"?

Upon hearing this, Officer Li frowned.

If what Liu Cui said is true, then this matter involves the hospital pharmacy, which would make the problem even bigger.

Lin Mengyao, who was standing to the side, never expected that she would be tricked by that damned woman Liu Cui!

Noticing that Officer Liu was looking over, she forced herself to meet Officer Li's gaze. Her voice trembled, but she still stubbornly insisted, "I... I was just doing my duty as a doctor, concerned about the patient's medication! How could I possibly switch the medication for a military family member? What benefit would that bring me?"

Upon hearing this, Officer Li nodded: What this woman said wasn't untrue.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanqiu did not back down in the slightest: "I also believe that the organization's investigation is fair. This matter is no longer just about my reputation, Jiang Wanqiu's reputation; it is about the lives and safety of every military family member in the military region!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mengyao immediately retorted, "What does this have to do with anyone else!"

Jiang Wanqiu sneered: "If this matter has nothing to do with Dr. Lin, then the medicine in Sister Liu Cui's hand was taken directly from the pharmacy untouched. This proves that there's something wrong with this batch of painkillers in our military hospital's entire pharmacy!"

"This is no small matter!" Jiang Wanqiu emphasized. "Today it's Sister Liu Cui who's been poisoned, but tomorrow it could be Sister Li, Sister Wang, or even the military region's leaders and their families! I request that the organization thoroughly investigate this matter and show no leniency towards any link in the chain, giving all military families an explanation!"

These words were both reasonable and persuasive, instantly elevating the nature of the incident to several levels.

Officer Li didn't dare to delay and immediately ordered the medic behind him, "Seal this piece of evidence, along with all the painkillers from the same batch in the pharmacy, immediately! Send them to the laboratory of the General Hospital of the Military Region for expedited testing and ingredient comparison!"

"yes!"

As the medic sealed the packet of powder and the medicine bottle from the pharmacy together in a brown paper bag and affixed the seal, Lin Mengyao's legs began to feel weak, and her back was covered in a cold sweat.

The investigation team temporarily withdrew, and Lin Mengyao walked unsteadily out of the ward, turned into an empty office, hurriedly ran to the telephone, and shakily dialed the number to connect with her uncle who worked in the health department.

On the other end of the phone, her uncle's voice was very impatient: "Mengyao? What's the matter that's so urgent?"

Lin Mengyao didn't dare to reveal what she had done. Instead, she embellished the story, saying that one of her patients had developed problems after taking the medication, and the investigation team had become suspicious of her.

"Uncle, aren't you and Director Wang of the military region's health department old classmates? Could you put in a good word for me and tell them to stop investigating..."

"Nonsense!" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became stern. "I've heard about what happened yesterday. The person in charge of leading the team was Officer Li from the Political Department of the Division. He's a notoriously ruthless tyrant! From what you've said, this matter might involve drug quality issues, so the leaders are definitely taking it seriously! Besides, why are you panicking? You didn't produce the medicine; it was dispensed by the pharmacy. How can you be blamed for it?"

Lin Mengyao was speechless, holding the phone and stammering "I, I" for a long time, unable to get the rest out.

The person opposite was called away again; it seemed the investigation team had already gone there.

"I'm busy, I'm hanging up." After that, the phone went dead.

Lin Mengyao stared blankly at the phone for a long time before realizing that her forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat.

I never expected that vixen from the south to be so cunning!

With just a few words, she managed to mobilize the leadership team.

That's true. If she weren't so eloquent, how could Zhao Wenchang be so captivated by her?

Lin Mengyao was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. That little bitch did it on purpose!

How dare they frame her like this! She'll remember this grudge!

As the sun set and it was almost afternoon, Bai Weiwei was stretching her legs in the rehearsal hall of the performing arts troupe, vividly describing the exercises to the group of girls surrounding her.

“You didn’t hear it…tsk tsk tsk,” she said with a look of disdain and excitement, “How long has Battalion Commander Zhao been gone? And she dares to bring some random man home for the night! Battalion Commander Zhao’s head is practically covered in green grass!”

A round-faced female soldier covered her mouth and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Really? Sister Weiwei, did you hear me right?"

"My ears are still sharp! Absolutely!" Bai Weiwei said confidently. "I think Jiang Wanqiu is always acting like a vixen, flirting with everyone. That kind of woman is a menace! Girls, after rehearsal tonight, come with me, we'll catch her red-handed! We'll drag that adulterous couple out and see how she'll ever face anyone in our compound again!"

"Okay! We'll all listen to Sister Weiwei!" Several young female soldiers immediately echoed indignantly.

Division Headquarters Office.

Zhao Wenchang, covered in dust from his journey, stood tall and straight in front of his desk.

"...There might be a mole within our military region." After reporting on the raid, Zhao Wenchang voiced his suspicions.

Zhao Changfeng listened in silence for a long while before finally saying, "You wiped out the entire enemy special agents' squad this time, so those people should be able to behave themselves for a while. As for the mole you mentioned... I'll have a good talk with the other higher-ups."

After saying that, his gaze fell on Zhao Wenchang's arm, and he frowned: "What happened to your injury?"

"Reporting to the commander, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Zhao Changfeng sighed: "It's always like this. To you, anything that doesn't kill you is considered a minor injury, right? Once the mission is complete, you're the wounded! I order you to go home immediately and rest for a day!"

"Yes, sir!" Zhao Wenchang straightened his back and gave a standard military salute.

After leaving the division headquarters, Zhao Wenchang returned to the barracks. Before he even entered the family compound, he heard several young soldiers huddled together by the roadside, carrying lunchboxes and whispering amongst themselves.

"...I heard that Bai Weiwei from the cultural troupe heard it with her own ears, that scream..."

"Hey, I thought Teacher Jiang looked pretty serious, but I didn't expect this..."

"Commander Zhao is really pitiful..."

Zhao Wenchang abruptly stopped and shouted at the group, "What are you saying!"

When the soldiers turned around and saw that it was Zhao Wenchang, they were so frightened that they shrank back like quails and stammered, unable to speak.

"Battalion Commander, good morning..."

Zhao Wenchang grabbed the collar of the soldier closest to him: "What's wrong with Jiang Wanqiu?!"

The soldiers looked at each other, and one of the bolder ones said, "Reporting to the battalion commander, someone saw Jiang Wanqiu bring a stranger home last night to spend the night!"

Zhao Wenchang's lips twitched as he listened.

When did I become a "wild man"?

It doesn't matter that she is a stranger to men, but Jiang Wanqiu's reputation has been ruined by rumors. In this day and age, reputation is the most important thing for a woman.

He said coldly, "Who spread those words just now?"
