Chapter 432 Shi Wei
Chen Lei's leg was broken and his screams were prolonged by the echo in the corridor.
"Take him back for a thorough investigation!" Chu Mingzhou glanced at Chen Lei's twisted face, "Notify the Military Court and charge him with 'assaulting an officer'."
Chen Lei was still screaming when he was dragged out of the ward, but Shi Sanmei suddenly collapsed on the bed, her fingertips unconsciously sliding across the bandage on her abdomen.
"You should have a good rest and stay in good spirits. Your testimony is very important."
"Okay...I will."
Chu Mingzhou didn't even have time to take a look at Lin Anan before he had to take his men back to the military area. This matter was of great importance and could not be taken lightly.
Chen's mother suddenly rushed to Chu Mingzhou's feet, hugged his military boots and cried, "Captain Chu, please spare me! He is the only male left in our Chen family!"
It would be better for her not to ask for it, as it seems like she is trying to cover up her sin.
Chu Mingzhou's expression seemed to relax a little. "You should also hurry back to the compound and cooperate well. There may still be a glimmer of hope."
The Chen family stopped crying and looked at each other.
Chu Mingzhou said nothing more and walked away with the man under his command.
After walking a distance, he let out a barely perceptible sneer, "After the Chen family members return, they will be immediately arrested and interrogated separately, and all charged with the crime of 'harbouring'."
"Yes, Captain!"
In Gu Yan's office.
The Lin family members sat in a row.
No one knows what's going on in the ward.
Zhuangzhuang in Lin Anan's arms suddenly yawned, his eyes opened and closed, and he felt sleepy again.
Gu Yan made glucose water for the others and said, "You guys sit in my office for a while. I'll go check on the situation."
"Doctor Gu, you don't have to go. They are targeting you. Let me go and take a look." Lin's father said.
Before he could go out, Doctor Li knocked on the door and said that the patient had been taken away and the ward had been cleaned up by the nurse.
"Then hurry back. An An and the kids need to rest. It's really..."
When beating Chen's mother, Lin's mother broke her fingernails. It hurt so much, but she didn't dare let the children know and worry, so she had to put her hands behind her back.
Gu Yan had already seen it, and he signaled Dr. Li to step back two steps and treat the old man's wound.
"Comrade Shi is also a pitiful person, but her background... is indeed not good. I don't know if the military can trust her."
"She said she has evidence in her hands! I don't know what evidence it is. If it's not sufficient, she might even get herself implicated. After all, she just lost her child. It's hard to define her mental state."
"If the Chen family is afraid that she will speak carelessly, will they..."
Lin Anan heard the family members muttering and listened carefully, "Don't worry, the military has its own code of conduct. This is not a trivial matter and it is not a joke. Mingzhou will definitely check it.
As for Shi Sanmei's specific situation, we can ask her about it after we go back. If she doesn't want to tell us, it's fine. It's not a big problem."
"That's the truth."
The Lin family is not very familiar with Shi Sanmei. Judging from the current situation, this girl has a strong temper. Even if she is emotional, she dares to break and establish, and does not seem to be a bad person.
"As for the safety issue that Dad mentioned, don't worry. This is the military district's general hospital. Mingzhou will also send guards to guard it. I will be able to be discharged from the hospital in two days."
Gu Yan followed Lin An'an silently, estimated in his mind, and nodded, "The day after tomorrow, I will arrange for An'an to be discharged from the hospital. I will personally deliver the medicines she needs for the confinement period to her home. After she is out of the confinement period, she will enter the formal treatment period."
When Mr. and Mrs. Lin heard that the time was set, they also felt relieved.
"Okay, I can't stay in the northwest for long, so it's good that An An returns to the military compound. At least she's safe. I can also go to the experimental field to take a look. I have to go back to Su City in a week or so. There are still a lot of things waiting for me."
No matter how reluctant he was, Father Lin still had to return as soon as possible. He came here on a mission and didn't have much time to waste.
The group returned to the ward while talking.
The ward had been cleaned up. Not only had the bedding been changed, but the floor had also been mopped clean.
Shi Sanmei lay on the bed, staring out the window in a daze.
The old magnolia tree outside the window looked quite lonely with its petals falling and scattering.
When a group of people came in, Shi Sanmei slowly turned her head. The red bloodshot in her eyes had faded a lot, and there was a little more relief and calmness in her eyes.
"How do you feel?" Lin Anan took off her shoes, lay back on the bed, put Zhuangzhuang beside her, and held him gently in her arms.
Shi Sanmei forced a weak smile: "Much better, thank you."
Her eyes fell on Zhuangzhuang's sleeping little face, and her fingers curled up unconsciously.
The ward is not big, and with so many people squeezed in, it instantly seems a bit crowded.
However, Lin Zihuai and Du Juan planned to leave. "We have things to do in the art troupe, so we'll go back first and come back when my sister is discharged from the hospital."
"You guys go back."
Mother Lin gathered up the clothes for changing and handed them to Father Lin, "You go back with them, and wait for news about your son-in-law. Make sure he's okay before coming back."
"Okay, I'll go back and wait."
The three of them looked at the sleeping Zhuangzhuang again, said a few words to Lin Anan, and left the ward.
After confirming Lin Anan's condition, Gu Yan did not leave. Instead, he sat on the stool by the window, took out a medical record book and wrote in it, as if nothing had happened.
He wanted to stay and listen to what Shi Sanmei had to say.
Mother Lin looked at Lin An'an, sat down on the bed, raised her hand to touch Zhuangzhuang's buttocks, and saw that the younger one hadn't urinated, then she spoke, "Comrade Shi, these years... haven't been easy for you."
After saying this, Shi Sanmei was obviously stunned.
She guessed that Captain Chu's family would ask about the situation, but she didn't expect it to be this aunt who spoke up, and in such a caring tone.
Shi Sanmei is a tactful person. At this point, it’s time for her to tell her story.
"My father was a bad element who was targeted during the Cultural Revolution." Her voice was not loud, but it was filled with endless sadness.
The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became solemn.
"My original name is Shi Wei. I am the third child in my family and I am from Nancheng. My father, Shi Huhai, is a poet who is well-known both at home and abroad for publishing his works internationally.
My mother Liu Lanshuang is a master of Chinese painting. She was once known as the "Mr. Bamboo" of China. Everyone said that she could paint the best bamboo in the world...
Ten years ago, when the Cultural Revolution started, my home was searched countless times, and my parents' precious books and manuscripts were all burned. My mother couldn't bear the blow and fell ill, and my father had to face endless criticism and humiliation every day.
Later, my father was taken away by a close friend, who said he was going to seek refuge in Country J. He took my older brother and second sister with him, while I stayed behind to take care of my seriously ill mother.
He said...when he was rehabilitated, he would definitely come back, but I have waited for so many years...it seems there is no hope."
Shi Sanmei's voice was very soft, but it was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart again and again.
Mother Lin pursed her lips, reached out and patted the back of Shi Sanmei's hand, trying to give her some comfort.
