She wasn't too surprised by the result.
"What do you plan to do about this?" Dr. Jiang asked.
Dr. Tong was unaware of the intricacies of the matter, so she said indignantly, "Such a heinous act as switching a military wife's child should naturally be reported to the military region."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Dr. Jiang opened the door.
Upon seeing Li Mei and her mother-in-law, she nodded faintly.
Li Mei turned her face away, not wanting to have any more contact with her.
"Dr. Tong, how is my son? When can I take him home?"
"The child will need to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dr. Tong looked over with a serious expression.
"Comrade Li Mei, there's something I need to tell you, so you should be prepared."
These words made Li Mei, who was already uneasy, even more flustered.
She instinctively wanted to refuse.
Before she could speak, Dr. Tong said, "Comrade Li Mei, this child is not yours!"
Li Mei was shocked: "..."
Her voice trembled slightly, "He...he's my son, how could he not be my child..."
"Really, I'm not lying to you."
Dr. Tong carefully explained the knowledge about blood types to her.
Finally, he said, "Don't worry, I've already notified someone to report this to the military region. The military region will definitely deal with this kind of heinous incident of switching a military spouse's child very seriously..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud crash!
Li Mei's sudden collapse interrupted Dr. Tong's words and startled her.
"Comrade Li Mei, what's wrong—"
How could she suddenly faint!
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized what was going on and turned to Dr. Jiang, saying, "It's nothing, she's just too happy."
Dr. Jiang: "..."
...
Ultimately, the truth could not be hidden forever, and the incident was reported to higher authorities.
The news that Li Mei's child had been switched, and that the child had been replaced with a deaf-mute, spread like wildfire throughout the Fourth Division.
The military also attaches great importance to this matter.
That afternoon, they sent someone to the hospital to inquire about the situation and also reported it to the police.
Upon investigation, they discovered that the situation was completely different from what they had imagined.
First, there's the county hospital, let alone more than ten days ago.
In the past six months, no one named Li Mei has given birth at their hospital.
There are hospital records to prove this; it can't be faked.
Afterwards, both groups went to the county inspection team.
Inquire about the specific details of that day.
When the captain of the inspection team heard the news, he was also completely baffled.
During that period, because of the typhoon, everyone in the county was stockpiling things.
They wouldn't dare to arrest anyone at this critical juncture!
Seeing that the matter had reached a stalemate, the investigation team turned its attention to Li Mei.
Li Mei initially wanted to argue, but with so much evidence before her, she couldn't help but give it a try.
Finally, she couldn't withstand the psychological pressure and had no choice but to confess everything.
The police acted swiftly, arresting the Cai couple overnight.
Neither of them ever dreamed that things would take such a turn for the better so quickly.
The military families living in the compound were all deeply saddened after learning the truth.
A few days later, Li Mei's punishment notice came down.
Li Mei was charged with bribing children, causing serious injury to them, and abandonment.
He was sentenced to nine years in prison after being convicted of multiple crimes.
The Cai couple were also sentenced to nine years in prison for the same crime.
The old woman's actions indirectly constituted the crimes of disrupting a military marriage and causing injury to a child through negligence.
He was eventually sentenced to three years in prison.
Even Deputy Battalion Commander Xiang, who was on a mission far away, was not spared.
According to the "Disciplinary Regulations of the People's Liberation Army", officers have a duty to supervise their families, but since the deputy battalion commander did not have any subjective fault in this matter.
After careful consideration, the military demoted the deputy battalion commander by one rank and transferred him to a local unit.
Although the penalty notice has been issued, discussions about this matter continue unabated.
Jiang Si wasn't very interested in any of that; she was busy right now!
He saw his wife in the room, busy calculating with an abacus for over half an hour.
Huo Tingzhou set the stewed bird's nest aside.
"Wife, what are you calculating?"
