Chapter 209 Yunlan plots another evil scheme in prison?
Just as Li Ma was being dragged out of the room, a guard strode in and whispered a few words to Gu Beichen.
"Reporting to the commander, another team has captured Yun Chao."
Gu Beichen nodded, indicating that he understood.
A clever trick, hard to guard against a thief within the family.
When Li Ma, who had been carried to the door, heard the name "Yun Chao," she seemed to grasp at the last straw and suddenly let out a shrill scream.
"It wasn't me! I wasn't the mastermind! It was Yun Lan! It was Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou's wife, Yun Lan, who instructed me to do this! Yun Chao is her cousin! She forced me to do it!"
In the interrogation room.
Yun Chao, who was a tyrannical figure in the underworld, confessed everything before he could even be tortured.
He poured out his heart, explaining in detail how he was instructed by his cousin Yunlan to coerce and entice Li Ma to poison him, hoping only for leniency.
Gu Beichen walked out of the interrogation room with the freshly produced confession in his hand.
The night was deep, and the air pressure around him was terrifyingly low. His eyes, which were always full of gentleness, were now filled with an icy chill and murderous intent.
He walked straight toward the small building where Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou lived.
At this time.
Unaware of the danger, Yunlan was lying on her bed with a thick layer of pearl powder mask on her face.
She held her pinky finger up in a delicate gesture, flipping through a fashion magazine that had been sent from Hong Kong, humming a little tune.
Judging by the time, the bastard in Su Yue's belly should be ready to be born soon.
Ideally, it would result in one unborn child and three deaths!
Once Su Yue dies, Gu Beichen will be heartbroken, and I can take advantage of his vulnerability to soothe his wounded heart with gentleness.
At that time, wouldn't that handsome, tall, and decorated man be hers for the taking?
Imagining a bright future, Yunlan sighed contentedly, feeling that the night view was truly breathtakingly beautiful.
......
The next morning, when Gu Beichen returned from the military region's interrogation room, still feeling the chill, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou, also known as Zhou Qihang, was already waiting at the entrance of the Gu family's courtyard.
He took off his crisp military uniform and wore only a worn-out shirt. Overnight, he seemed to have aged ten years, his eyes sunken, filled with exhaustion and shame.
Upon seeing Gu Beichen, he didn't even dare to look up, but simply bowed deeply.
"Commander Gu, I'm sorry."
His voice was hoarse and dry, filled with a sense of powerlessness.
Gu Beichen didn't say anything, but simply stepped aside to let him into the courtyard.
In the living room, both the father-in-law, Gu Zhengfeng, and the mother-in-law, Zhang Huilan, were present, and the atmosphere was so heavy it could drip water.
Zhou Qihang walked to the center of the living room, but instead of sitting down, he bowed deeply to Gu Zhengfeng and Zhang Huilan again.
"Commander, sister-in-law, it's my fault for not managing the household properly and for misjudging people, which allowed that wicked woman Yunlan to do such a heinous thing. I... I have no face to face you."
He took out a signed divorce report and a transfer application from his pocket and handed them over with both hands.
“Yunlan’s actions constitute intentional injury and endanger military security. The military court will give her the fairest trial. I… am also ashamed to stay on Hainan Island any longer. I am applying to be transferred to the most arduous border post. This is the only way I can atone for my sins.”
Zhang Huilan looked at him and sighed.
In this matter, Zhou Qihang was indeed a victim as well.
He married such a vicious woman and almost ruined his future because of her.
"Let's set sail! Have a seat."
Gu Zhengfeng spoke, his voice steady and calm.
"Yunlan is Yunlan, and you are you. The organization will make that distinction very clearly. You are a good comrade, and you are also a victim in this matter, so don't feel guilty."
The storm seemed to have finally subsided.
Yun Lan was formally arrested and sent directly to a military prison, where she will face the most severe legal punishment.
Although Zhou Qihang was not transferred, he voluntarily moved out of the military dependents' compound and into the regimental headquarters' single dormitory, becoming even more taciturn.
In the military compound, no one dared to say a bad word about Su Yue behind her back anymore.
This seemingly gentle and delicate young military wife proved to everyone with the most ruthless methods that she is the one who should not be provoked in this land.
Life finally settled down completely.
As Su Yue's due date approaches, the entire Gu family courtyard has entered a state of happy yet tense preparation.
However, no one knew this.
In the heavily guarded military prison, Yunlan, who was being held in solitary confinement, showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, her beautiful eyes burned with an even more frenzied resentment.
She couldn't understand why she had lost.
Lost to a wild girl from the countryside!
She was unwilling to accept it!
Why does Su Yue get everything? Why does she get a man like Gu Beichen?
If she can't have it, no one else can!
She's going to destroy Su Yue! Destroy everything she cares about most!
The opportunity came soon.
Inside the prison, orderly soldiers come to clean every day.
Yunlan used the last gold bar she had hidden in the sole of her shoe to bribe a young soldier who looked very young and had greedy eyes.
"Go to the military family compound and find the nanny named Xiaolan from the Gu family."
In the dimly lit solitary confinement room, Yunlan's voice was extremely low and seductive.
“Tell her that as long as she can find a way to cause some kind of accident to those two little bastards in Su Yue’s belly… for example, to accidentally fall down or eat something unclean.”
"Once it's done, this bag of gold will be hers."
She stuffed a heavy package into the young soldier's hands.
"Not only that, I will also use my connections in my hometown to arrange for her sick mother to be admitted to the best hospital in the city, and to help her younger brother, who dropped out of school, return to school. I will help her whole family move out of that poor mountain village and get a stable food supply!"
The young soldier was so shocked by the weight of the bag of gold and the conditions promised by Yunlan that he gasped in astonishment.
He was just a rural soldier, and these conditions were like a meteoric rise for him.
He nodded in agreement almost without hesitation.
Three days later, one evening, Xiao Lan carried a bucket of swill out of the military family compound.
The young soldier was already waiting in a secluded corner.
He relayed Yunlan's words verbatim to Xiaolan and waved the glittering bag in front of her.
Xiaolan's breathing stopped instantly.
Gold...
Treating my mother's illness...
Let my younger brother go to school...
The whole family moved out of the countryside...
These words were like heavy hammer blows, striking her heart relentlessly.
She remembered how her mother, who was bedridden with illness before she came to Hainan Island, held her hand and told her to work hard in the Gu family and not cause trouble.
She remembered the image of her younger brother dropping out of school and going to work in the coal mines with the villagers so that she could leave.
She is not a bad person by nature; in fact, one could say she is kind.
