"Nonsense!" Lu Linchuan narrowed his eyes. "You and my wife are complete strangers, with no grudges against each other. Why would you want to harm her?"
Su Wantang stepped forward and said, "Xiao Zhang, tell me honestly, who's behind you?"
Xiao Zhang lowered his head, clenching his teeth and remaining silent.
Director Li glanced at Lu Linchuan, then at Xiao Zhang: "Fine, since you won't talk, this matter will be handed over to the higher-ups. Xiao Zhang, from now on, you are suspended from your duties pending investigation."
"Director, please give me a chance..." Xiao Zhang pleaded, crying.
"Opportunity? You falsified her pregnancy test report, almost causing her to lose two children!" Director Li roared. "You expect an opportunity for something like this?"
Lu Linchuan grabbed Su Wantang's hand: "Let's go back."
After leaving the hospital, Su Wantang was still somewhat frightened: "If you hadn't insisted on going to the city hospital for a follow-up examination, we might really have..."
"No, I won't." Lu Linchuan squeezed her hand. "I will never let anyone hurt you and the children."
"But why won't Xiao Zhang reveal who's behind it all?" Su Wantang frowned. "Someone must be threatening him."
Su Wantang thought of someone: Zheng Nana.
She was the first person to know when her test results came out.
Is this really just a coincidence?
“I think we might start the investigation by looking at Zheng Nana,” Su Wantang said. “When the prenatal checkup results came out, she came to our house immediately to ridicule me. Her information network is just too good.”
Lu Linchuan nodded, his handsome face radiating a chilling coldness: "This matter isn't that simple. I will continue to investigate. Whoever attempts to harm you, I will not let them get away with it!"
"Mm." Su Wantang nodded.
Back at the family compound, Lu Linchuan immediately went to the political commissar and reported the whole incident in detail. The political commissar was also furious after hearing it and said he would deal with it seriously.
That same day, the military issued a disciplinary notice to Xiao Zhang, temporarily suspending him from his duties pending investigation. However, Xiao Zhang refused to reveal who was behind it all.
Lu Linchuan also began investigating the relationship between Xiao Zhang and Zheng Nana.
The early summer sun shines through the grapevines in the yard, casting dappled shadows.
As Su Wantang was about to return to her courtyard, the chattering of several women from the neighboring courtyard came over, sharp and grating.
"Hey, have you heard? That Commander Lu's wife is carrying a deformed baby!"
The speaker was Li Hongxia. She lowered her voice, but you could smell her gloating even through the wall.
"Really? Her belly is so big, she doesn't look pregnant!"
"You don't understand. I heard it from the people at the health center. The Down syndrome screening showed a high risk, and the doctor advised an abortion! A child like that is a scourge, very unlucky! You should all stay away from her in the future to avoid getting tainted by something unclean!"
Li Hongxia spoke with great enthusiasm, as if she had witnessed it herself.
unlucky?
Something unclean?
Su Wantang's blood rushed to her head, and a surge of anger exploded from her chest.
She can tolerate people talking about her, but she absolutely cannot tolerate anyone cursing her unborn child!
Her fingers, gripping the lab report so tightly they turned white, walked step by step to the courtyard wall.
Li Hongxia continued to embellish the story: "You didn't see it, her face was as white as a corpse when she came out of the hospital! I think this child is probably not going to survive..."
"Smack—!"
A crisp, loud slap landed hard on Li Hongxia's face.
