The next day.
Zhang Guoqing secretly visited the master that Jiang Chuntang had mentioned.
Including the people behind him.
You won't believe it until you check, and what you find will shock you.
It turned out to be those... remnants from Yunnan Province.
No wonder they couldn't find the people who escaped. It turns out they were secretly hiding their identities, deliberately contacting his mother, pretending to be masters, and using his mother to torment the child and his heart.
Zhang Guoqing secretly observed this master and followed him for two days before returning to his family compound.
As soon as they went upstairs, many military wives surrounded them, criticizing Zhang Guoqing.
“I heard you went on a mission, but you can’t lock your mother up like that. She’s been knocking on the door these past few days and disturbing the peace of the neighborhood.”
"I'm sorry, ladies. My mother has recently had a relapse, and I dare not let her out, lest she hurt any of you."
The person asking the questions was Ge You, who was very close to Jiang Chuntang. The two would get together every day to chat about gossip, and they were very compatible in every way.
"What illness does your mother have? She's been living in the family dormitory for over half a year, and I haven't seen her have any symptoms."
“My mother has a long incubation period for this disease, and she occasionally goes crazy and bites people.”
Ge You shuddered and licked his lips. "Your mother has been living in the family compound for over half a year, and I haven't seen her have an attack yet?"
"I posted this a couple of days ago. Zhao Fang brought Ya Ya back to her parents' home, and there was no one to take care of her. I was really worried about her, so I resorted to this."
Ge You swallowed hard. She decided it was best not to come looking for Jiang Chuntang again, unless absolutely necessary. What if Jiang Chuntang suddenly opened her gaping maw and bit her? Then she…
That's terrifying.
Why is he sick and not resting at home? Why did he come to live with the military? There are so many people in the family compound; what if someone gets hurt?
Ge You used to enjoy hanging out with Jiang Chuntang, chatting about gossip and sharing sad stories; their personalities seemed to click.
Since they're sick, there's no need to continue seeing each other.
"I just remembered I still have water boiling at home, so I'll head back now."
"good."
A group of military wives gathered around room 303 on the third floor. They heard that Jiang Chuntang might be mentally ill, and that she might not only bite people, but also hit them.
They weren't exactly tired of living, and dealing with such a dangerous person made them scatter like birds and beasts. They all said they had food waiting for them at home and ran away.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to see, the rest of the people also left the third floor and went home, and everyone dispersed.
Seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Guoqing took out his key from his pocket and turned the doorknob. The door opened, and Gu Guoqing pushed it open, went inside, and then immediately closed it again.
"Forget about it. You're not getting out. I've been investigating based on the information you provided these past two days."
Do you know what I found out?
"What."
"That master is a fake. He's someone left over from a hideout I uncovered during a previous mission. Although he doesn't have much power anymore, he knows how to undermine us from within, causing us endless suffering."
"And they did indeed succeed, almost killing my Yaya with the help of you, you old feudal man."
"You'd better stay home these next few days and don't go anywhere or knock on doors to disturb the neighbors."
Jiang Chuntang looked at Zhang Guoqing with a pitiful expression, not daring to say another word.
She seems to have made a huge mistake.
But all she wanted was a grandson; what's wrong with that?
"Son, are you hungry? I'll cook for you."
"I'm not hungry. I'll come back, change my clothes, and then go out."
Jiang Chuntang wanted to say something more, but Zhang Guoqing didn't want to talk to her at all. He went straight back to his room, changed his clothes, and came out again very quickly.
"I'm leaving. I'm warning you, you better behave yourself, or don't blame me for not showing any mercy to you as a mother."
"Also, this isn't the countryside. You have to think about whether it will affect others before you do anything."
Jiang Chuntang watched Zhang Guoqing leave home with a pitiful expression, not wanting to say anything more.
"Son, when are Zhao Fang and Ya Ya coming back?"
He was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, then scoffed, "You almost killed her daughter, do you think she'll ever come back?"
"What do you mean? You guys?"
"Don't worry about our affairs. Just stay home. This matter is too big for me to handle. I need to consult with the regimental commander."
"Then...I..."
Zhang Guoqing ignored her and walked out without looking back, using the same trick to lock Jiang Chuntang in the house again.
Jiang Chuntang heard the sound of the door lock being locked again. When would this end? She had been cooped up for two days. She had thought that if she stood at the door and shouted, disturbing everyone's rest, then a leader would take care of her family's affairs.
Unexpectedly, the commander completely ignored her and did not send anyone to rescue her.
I thought Zhao Fang would be back soon, but now that I know the truth, I'm sure she'll hate me to death.
Did she do something wrong?
No, she did nothing wrong. She just wanted a grandson, like any other old lady. What's wrong with that?
She wanted to go out and play, but her son kept her locked up and had no intention of letting her out at all.
What can she do?
I wonder how Ya Ya is doing?
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. Jiang Chuntang weakly grabbed a handful of her hair and lay down on the sofa in the living room with a blank look in her eyes.
Ya Ya should be fine, otherwise, given her son's stubborn nature, he wouldn't talk to her anymore.
Although her tone wasn't very pleasant today, she was still willing to talk to her, and she guessed that Ya Ya was probably still alive.
But the master said the child would die in the next few days…
My son said that the master was a fake, and that Yaya was actually alive or not.
Zhang Guoqing's mind was in turmoil. He almost missed a step while going down the stairs, but a colleague happened to be passing by and helped him.
"Battalion Commander Zhang, what are you thinking about? You look so worried. You weren't watching where you were going and almost tripped."
“Although your aunt’s situation is a bit tricky, it’s not impossible. Why don’t you take her to the psychiatric department of the military hospital?”
Zhang Guoqing nodded. "I understand. Thank you for your concern, Battalion Commander Guan. I know what to do."
"That's good. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."
"That's thoughtful of you."
Zhang Guoqing's mind was filled with images of Zhao Fang and Ya Ya, the fake master, and the arrest operation; they were all etched into his memory.
He doesn't know what to do now, he's very frustrated.
His mother really knows how to cause trouble for him; she's only been here for six months and she's already caused such a big problem.
He had worked his way up to his current position through countless hardships and dangers, only to have his mother ruin everything when she arrived.
His family members have gotten involved with drug dealers in Yunnan Province. How can he explain this clearly?
He pinched the bridge of his nose, determined to resolve the matter no matter what, and he would accept any punishment the organization might impose.
With heavy steps, I walked towards the direction of the single-story family housing building.
Hopefully, the information he found will prevent the tragedy from happening next.
If he guessed correctly, their next targets would be Commander Gu and his sister-in-law's unborn child.
