Chapter 42: Ruan Moli's Defense Breaks
It was getting dark.
Ruan Yuntang looked at his watch and waited for a while before slowly carrying two empty bags and going out.
As expected, I didn't meet anyone according to the route Ruan Moli told me in the afternoon.
When she was about to reach the sentry post, she glanced back inadvertently, then continued walking towards the gate.
Ruan Moli watched Ruan Yuntang walk out the door from a distance. She suppressed her excited heartbeat, raised the corners of her lips, and then walked back quickly.
Shortly after she left, Ruan Yuntang reappeared at the gate, thanked the sentry captain, and rejoined the army.
Then she quietly came to Ruan Moli's residence, first threw a few pieces of the two bags of clothes onto the tree, and then threw a few pieces into the yards of several neighbors next door.
After losing everything, she returned to her home, washed her hands, lit some incense and went to sleep.
And the other end.
Under a big tree in the village, Yang Chuan was bitten by mosquitoes all over his body, but he waited for a long time but the familiar figure did not appear.
He cursed, endured the heat and wrapped himself in a long coat. Suddenly, a series of footsteps came from behind him.
His face changed drastically and he quickly climbed up the tree to the top and hid.
When Ruan Moli arrived with Deputy Political Commissar Chen, Qiao Cui and a group of military commanders, they stared at the empty curb with wide eyes.
Chen Gang glanced at him coldly, suppressing his anger, "Where are the people?"
Ruan Moli's heart skipped a beat, and she said with certainty, "It must be nearby. I'll look for it!"
Qiao Cui also spoke up for her, "Moli wouldn't lie. That girl might be hiding there right now."
Chen Gang pressed his painful solar plexus and said, "Then find it quickly!"
He never expected that Jiang Yubai's wife would be so troublesome. She tried to run away in the middle of the night without even thinking about the consequences. How stupid!
Ruan Moli immediately looked around, ran to a distance and called Yang Chuan softly, but unfortunately there was no response.
A layer of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead and her heart began to beat abnormally. She had a bad premonition and became more and more anxious.
But the one who was more anxious than her was Yang Chuan.
There were not only many mosquitoes but also many reptiles on the treetop where he was staying. He saw with his own eyes several wriggling insects crawling into his collar. He got goose bumps all over his body, but he didn't dare to move.
Because the person standing under the tree was his immediate superior.
But he couldn't speak out loud to remind Ruan Moli now, so he could only pray in his heart that they would leave soon.
Unfortunately, Ruan Moli searched around and around until an hour later, when she was exhausted. She came to Chen Gang with a pale face and whispered:
"Commissar, I...I didn't find my sister."
Chen Gang felt slightly relieved, but angrily asked, "Then why did you bother us so late at night?"
Qiao Cui also frowned.
Ruan Moli watched as they prepared to go back, clenching her palms unwillingly, and said:
"Although I don't know where my sister ran off to, she must have run away. If you don't believe me, let's go to Captain Jiang's house and see for ourselves."
Hearing this, Qiao Cui's expression brightened. She tugged at her husband's sleeve and said, "I think Jasmine is right. If she hasn't run away, we can go to her house and see for ourselves."
After all, Chen Gang felt that it was not good for a group of people to go to a girl's house in the middle of the night, but he couldn't help but let everyone nod their heads, and Ruan Moli was very confident in her words.
Chen Gang nodded reluctantly and was about to turn around when he suddenly heard a scream above his head, followed by something falling down.
Fortunately, he dodged quickly and was not hit.
Everyone stepped back in horror.
It wasn't until Yang Chuan, with his disheveled hair and face, showed his bare teeth that they retreated in fear and asked in confusion: "Yang Chuan, what are you doing here?"
Yang Chuan endured the severe pain in his leg and climbed up. Ruan Moli quickly supported him in panic and asked in a low voice: "Where is the person?"
Before Yang Chuan could answer, Chen Gang shouted, "Why are you here so late when you're not in the army?"
Yang Chuan panicked and said quickly, "I... I heard that there were wild boars attacking people in the village recently, so I came to take a look."
Hearing this, Chen Gang's expression improved a little. He scolded casually for a few words and then said nothing more.
Then a group of people hurried towards the troops.
Yang Chuan broke his leg and could only be supported by Ruan Moli as he limped behind.
This also made it convenient for the two of them to gossip.
When Ruan Moli heard that Ruan Yuntang didn't come at all, she felt inexplicably panicked and had a bad premonition.
Ruan Yuntang wouldn’t have run away, right?
No, that's impossible. She got so many good things, she must have packed up and run away!
What a waste of money!
Ruan Moli felt heartbroken at the thought of letting her escape. She quickly stepped forward and suggested, "Political Commissar, why don't you arrange for someone to go to the station and arrest her first?"
"We haven't even confirmed she ran away, but you're acting like you saw her run away with your own eyes!" Chen Gang looked at her scrutinizingly, "How can you be so sure?"
"My sister told me in person yesterday and asked me to help her escape." Ruan Moli lowered her eyes in grievance.
Qiao Cui quickly stepped forward and pulled her husband back, "Alright, Jasmine won't lie."
Chen Gang stared at her for a few seconds before looking away.
When he arrived at Ruan Yuntang's door, he sighed softly and raised his hand to knock on the door.
After three hits, there was no movement inside.
Ruan Moli's heart was finally at ease, and she quickly said, "Please arrange for someone to go to the station quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Chen Gang didn't listen to her and knocked on the door a few more times.
The door was almost broken down, but no one opened it.
At this time, Yang Chuan whispered again: "Moli is right. She is probably going to leave by car now. We should hurry up and arrange for someone to go."
Hearing this, Chen Gang coldly put down his hand, turned around and ordered: "Go and arrange——"
Before he finished speaking, the door in front of him was suddenly opened from the inside.
The girl was wearing a plain white dress, rubbing her eyes sleepily, and looked at them puzzledly, "What are you doing?"
There was a sudden silence outside the door.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock.
Her little face was incredibly well-behaved, and her voice was soft and sweet, totally unlike the vicious young lady as rumored.
And he was sleeping at home peacefully, he didn't run away at all!
In an instant, everyone looked at Ruan Moli strangely.
Ruan Moli was even more surprised than them. She gritted her teeth and asked, "You—why are you at home?"
"If I'm not at home, am I supposed to sleep on the street?" Ruan Yuntang looked at her in surprise. "That's a strange question."
Ruan Moli looked at the person in front of her who turned his back on her and choked so much that a mouthful of blood stuck in her chest.
Chen Gang also glanced at her coldly, and then said to Qiao Cui in a deep voice: "Don't listen to other people's nonsense in the future. Don't make trouble in the middle of the night!"
Qiao Cui was scolded in public, her face was ashamed, and she glared at Ruan Moli angrily.
Chen Gang turned to look at the well-behaved girl in front of him, apologized, and then told her what happened tonight.
As he spoke, his eyes observed her calmly.
Ruan Yuntang's expression changed from confusion to shock to surprise, and finally his face turned red with anger.
"Ruan Moli, Yang Chuan, I didn't want to argue with you, but you're really going too far!"
