Chapter 112 Qiao Shuhui Exposed
Division Commander Tang interrupted Brigade Commander Zhang, who was about to continue joking about the table, and said, "Alright, you've already smashed the table to pieces."
Division Commander Hu chimed in, "Old Zhang, there's no need to be so angry. Remind Regiment Commander Lin to be mindful of his family members."
Brigade Commander Zhang said with a grim expression, "I heard from my wife that Lin Yifei's wife is pregnant."
"Without any evidence, how can I just walk up to Lin Yifei and tell him that his pregnant wife cheated on him?"
"We didn't catch them in the act, and Lin Yifei's wife will just turn around and bite us again."
Brigade Commander Zhang looked at Xiao He and complained, "You saw it, why didn't you arrest those two?"
Division Commander Tang was displeased: "Xiao He's task is to monitor Gu Yihan."
Division Commander Hu patted Brigade Commander Zhang on the shoulder and reassured him, "I know you've always thought highly of Lin Yifei, but how do you expect Xiao He to capture them?"
"Should we let the whole military region know that Lin Yifei's wife cheated on him? This matter can only be handled discreetly."
Brigade Commander Zhang stood up and was about to leave when Division Commander Tang stopped him: "You don't believe me when I say you're a rough man? Are you really going to go find Lin Yifei like this?"
Seeing Zhang's actions, Xiao He said awkwardly, "Well, I heard from that male comrade that he's off this Saturday afternoon."
"He's going to pick up Commander Lin's wife from the textile factory so they can have dinner together at the state-run restaurant."
In his office, Brigade Commander Zhang paced back and forth angrily, pointing at Xiao He and saying to Division Commander Tang and Division Commander Hu, "Listen to this."
"This shows a lack of respect for us soldiers. If the families in the residential compound follow suit, wouldn't that break the hearts of the soldiers?"
Commander Tang and Commander Hu never expected that the two men would be so audacious.
This time, Brigade Commander Zhang simply opened the door and strode out of the office.
In the courtyard, Gu Yihan put down her chopsticks and gave Lu Huailin a thumbs up, praising, "Your noodles are still the best, so chewy."
Lu Huailin smiled slightly, his voice low and pleasant: "Go sit on the sofa for a while, I'll do the dishes."
Gu Yihan didn't stand on ceremony with Lu Huailin. She went to the drawer, took out a recent newspaper, and leaned back on the sofa to read it.
After Lu Huailin finished cleaning up the dishes, he saw Gu Yihan leaning leisurely against the back of the wooden sofa.
He strode over to Gu Yihan, picked her up, sat her on his lap, and ran his hands over her body.
Gu Yihan patted Lu Huailin's hand directly: "What's so great about touching it?"
Lu Huailin whispered in Gu Yihan's ear, "Feel if my heart and liver are still there..."
"Bang, bang, bang."
The ambiguous atmosphere inside the room was interrupted by a knock on the door. Lu Huailin picked up Gu Yihan and placed her on the sofa.
Seeing her slightly flushed cheeks, he smiled and said, "I'll go see who's knocking on the door."
Lu Huailin opened the door and saw Brigade Commander Zhang. He looked at him with suspicion and said, "Brigade Commander Zhang, it's so late, is there something you need?"
Brigade Commander Zhang glanced behind Lu Huailin and, not seeing Gu Yihan, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come out here, I have something to ask you."
Lu Huailin really thought that Brigade Commander Zhang had something to do. He turned around and closed the door before following the other person to a big tree in the family compound.
Commander Zhang was truly at his wit's end; he had to catch the thief red-handed and the adulterers caught in the act.
He couldn't just go to her door and say that Lin Yifei's wife had a bad reputation.
He had no choice but to ask Lu Huailin for advice. He looked at Lu Huailin and asked, "Lu, I have a friend..."
"His wife might have a bad reputation. How can I remind my friend in a way that makes her believe me without hurting her feelings?"
Lu Huailin looked at Brigade Commander Zhang and said, "That's it?"
Brigade Commander Zhang nodded; he genuinely wanted to hear Lu Huailin's opinion.
"Isn't that simple? Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. Just let him see it with his own eyes."
Commander Zhang frowned, thinking to himself, "How can I make Lin Yifei see it with his own eyes?"
Suddenly, he remembered that Xiao He had said they were going to eat at a state-run restaurant, and an idea came to him.
Brigade Commander Zhang said goodbye to Lu Huailin: "Alright, you should go back now. Your Aunt Zhang is still asking me to go back for dinner."
Without waiting for Lu Huailin's reply, he turned and left.
Early the next morning
Brigade Commander Zhang and others were waiting for Lin Yifei on the road he was sure to take.
"Commander Lin."
Lin Yifei heard someone call his name, looked up, and saw Brigade Commander Zhang waving at him.
Lin Yifei walked up to Brigade Commander Zhang and said, "Brigade Commander Zhang, you wanted to see me?"
Brigade Commander Zhang started chatting with Lin Yifei about everyday things, then suddenly said, "I remember your Aunt Zhang said your wife is pregnant?"
Lin Yifei's eyes warmed as he thought of the baby in Qiao Shuhui's belly, and he smiled as he said, "Yes, it's almost three months along."
Brigade Commander Zhang raised his arm and patted Lin Yifei's arm, saying, "You're not getting any younger. It's good that your wife is pregnant."
"You can't just focus on training and missions; you also need to take good care of your family. They need your company too."
Lin Yifei thought that Brigade Commander Zhang was worried that he hadn't taken good care of his wife, and said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, I'll take care of all the housework I can."
Brigade Commander Zhang: "..."
Commander Zhang sighed inwardly. "Did I ask you to share the housework? I asked you to pay attention to your wife!"
He then said to Lin Yifei, "How about this, tomorrow is Saturday, I'll approve your leave in the afternoon, you go to the textile factory gate in advance and wait for your wife."
Lin Yifei was puzzled, but he still agreed, "Yes, Commander Zhang."

By the afternoon of the second day
Gu Yihan had just arrived at the bicycle parking area when she saw Qiao Shuhui pushing her bicycle very fast, since bicycles were not allowed inside the textile factory.
Gu Yihan looked at the other person's back with a puzzled expression.
She muttered to herself, "I've never seen Qiao Shuhui in such a hurry before. Isn't she afraid of hurting the baby in her belly?"
Gu Yihan's eyes lit up immediately. Something was definitely amiss. She pushed her bicycle and followed Qiao Shuhui from a distance.
As soon as Qiao Shuhui reached the door, she saw Shen Yujie in the alley and quickly pushed her bicycle over.
Lin Yifei saw Qiao Shuhui pushing her bicycle out of the textile factory gate, and he strode towards her.
Before Lin Yifei could even reach Qiao Shuhui's side, he saw her run towards a side alley. Although he was puzzled, he didn't think much of it.
I walked towards Qiao Shuhui's direction and saw her smiling broadly at a man.
The man skillfully took the bicycle from Qiao Shuhui's hand; his movements were natural and fluid, clearly indicating it wasn't the first time.
Lin Yifei could hardly believe his eyes. He still clung to the hope that the two were just ordinary friends.
But the next moment, Lin Yifei was proven wrong. He saw his wife stand on tiptoe and kiss his cheek.
Lin Yifei's eyes were bloodshot as he rushed forward and stood in front of the two men.
When Qiao Shuhui saw Lin Yifei, her face turned pale. She tried her best to control her trembling voice: "Yifei... I..."
Lin Yifei didn't even glance at Qiao Shuhui, but instead punched Shen Yujie in the face.
