Chapter 309 The treacherous plot is exposed, and the hero returns in triumph!
All eyes turned to them.
Su Yue walked quickly to the officer and took the unassuming radio from his hands.
She examined it carefully, and apart from being smaller than usual, the radio seemed to have nothing special about it.
But she knew her son Ping An's talent better than anyone else.
He said "bad water," so there must be something wrong with it!
"Call the technicians over immediately! Take this radio apart and inspect every single part, inside and out!" Su Yue's voice carried an unquestionable command.
A technician who was with the group immediately stepped forward, took the radio, and began to disassemble it using professional tools.
A few minutes later, the technicians exclaimed in surprise.
He found a small package tightly wrapped in tin foil in a hidden compartment inside the radio's battery compartment.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
The technicians carefully opened the foil, revealing a small amount of colorless and odorless white powder inside.
"Test it immediately!"
An urgent test request was submitted, and the military region's chemistry laboratory was activated overnight.
Half an hour later, an urgent test report was delivered to Su Yue.
Even Su Yue couldn't help but gasp when she saw the report's conclusion.
The technician who delivered the report was trembling: "Comrade Su... Comrade Su Yue, this... this is a chemical agent with an extremely complex structure! It is not very toxic itself, but it has extremely strong catalytic and corrosive properties. Once it is put into the water source, it can slowly destroy all existing purification systems, causing the filtration equipment to fail without anyone noticing!"
Su Yue's body swayed slightly.
She understood instantly.
The robbery of medicine was a ruse; Gu Beixiao, who was in solitary confinement, was the bait; Qian Fen, that gossipy woman, was the mouthpiece; and Fang Jianxing's gang was nothing more than cannon fodder brought into the open!
From beginning to end, this was a completely open conspiracy!
The other party's real purpose was not medicine at all, but to use this trap to secretly send this deadly poison into the military compound and contaminate the water source on which the entire military region depends for survival!
What a vicious plan!
The mastermind behind this conspiracy could never have been the group of brutes from Baicaotang who only knew how to fight and kill. Behind them lurks a much larger, more vicious, and more terrifying dark force!
Military region command center.
The air was as heavy as lead.
The news that Deputy Commander Ma had been taken away for investigation was like a pebble thrown into stagnant water, creating brief ripples before returning to silence.
Su Yue stood to the side, her expression calm.
She looked at the complex expressions on the faces of the generals—shock, anger, and relief.
The conspiracy targeting the military region's water supply was eventually exposed.
Qian Fen, the gossipy woman who loved to talk behind people's backs, is now a prisoner.
Her final struggle was futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
"Comrade Su Yue."
The commander walked up to Su Yue.
His voice carried a hint of weariness, but more so, it was filled with praise for Su Yue.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Commander Gu Beichen's operations in the South China Sea have achieved a major victory."
The commander paused for a moment, then continued.
"We annihilated the invading enemy and, in coordination with the main force, successfully prevented the infiltration."
"Comrade Gu Beichen is about to return in triumph."
Su Yue's heart skipped a beat.
Gu Beichen.
He's coming back.
She suppressed her excitement.
"Thank you, Commander."
Her voice remained calm.
But only she knew that the heart that had been frozen in her chest for so long was melting.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire military compound.
"Commander Gu Beichen, he's still alive!"
"That's great! I knew he'd be alright!"
"Those who made sarcastic remarks must be feeling really embarrassed!"
People were talking about it, their faces beaming with unbelievable joy.
Those who had previously mocked or even gloated over Su Yue now felt their faces burning with embarrassment.
They kept their heads down, not daring to meet Su Yue's gaze.
On the dock.
Military music played, and red flags waved.
The dock was crowded with officers and their families who came to greet them.
Su Yue held her two children and stood at the front of the crowd.
She was dressed in simple military wife attire, with her child nestled in her arms.
Gu Beichen's figure finally appeared on the deck of the warship.
He was wearing a crisp military uniform with medals pinned to his chest.
His body was covered in blood-stained bandages.
He had lost weight, and the features of his face were more defined.
But the eyes that looked at Su Yue were full of tenderness.
The warship slowly approached the shore.
Gu Beichen led the surviving soldiers off the warship.
The crowd erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
"Commander Gu! Commander Gu!"
Welcome home!
Gu Beichen's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed directly on Su Yue.
He strode forward.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he embraced Su Yue and the children tightly.
"I'm back."
His voice was slightly hoarse.
Su Yue leaned against his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat.
She knew he was back.
It was all worth it.
The celebration banquet was held in the military region's auditorium.
The lights were bright and the atmosphere was lively.
The commander personally pinned the First-Class Merit Medal on Gu Beichen.
"Comrade Gu Beichen!"
The commander's voice was loud and clear.
"In view of your outstanding command and great contributions in this South China Sea operation."
"With the approval of the Central Military Commission, you are being promoted to the position of the youngest Chief of Staff in our army, an exceptional promotion!"
Thunderous applause erupted.
Gu Beichen stood ramrod straight, accepting this honor.
He simply nodded.
His gaze never left Su Yue.
Back at the Gu family courtyard.
The warm lights dispelled the gloom of war.
Gu Beichen looked at his two children.
Gu Ningjing, the daughter, can already call him "Dad".
His son, Gu Ping'an, clung tightly to his legs, refusing to let go.
The tough guy's eyes welled up with tears.
He gently lifted his daughter up and teased her.
The family sat together, warm and peaceful.
Su Yue looked at Gu Beichen, her heart filled with love.
She knew what he had been through.
But now, he's back.
The family was finally reunited.
After several rounds of drinks...
Gu Beichen pulled Su Yue aside.
His expression turned somewhat serious.
"Yueyue."
He took something out of his pocket.
It was a uniquely shaped badge.
It is engraved with South American totems.
"This was seized from the enemy leader."
Gu Beichen said.
"I always felt that this thing was not simple."
Su Yue accepted the badge.
She examined the patterns on it carefully.
A strange sense of familiarity arose spontaneously.
This thing seems to be hiding some secret.
She looked at Gu Beichen.
His eyes held a hint of inquiry.
"It seems we've gotten ourselves into some trouble again."
Su Yue said in a low voice.
Gu Beichen gripped her hand tightly.
"Don't be afraid."
"I'm here."
"Everything will be alright."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
But that mysterious badge was like a thorn, deeply embedded in Su Yue's heart.
What does this badge really mean?
