"Why can't you say it? Then you're just complaining!"
Song Ning thought Huo Beian was disgusted with him, so after coming out of the bathroom, she went straight to the sofa with the blanket.
"I'm sleeping on the sofa tonight."
Huo Beian panicked, "Wife, why are you sleeping on the sofa? It's so uncomfortable."
After all, sofas in that era were mostly made of wood.
It's quite uncomfortable to sleep on.
"We're going to get divorced sooner or later anyway, so sleeping in separate beds is just fine."
Huo Beian then realized that his wife was angry.
He had no choice but to come over and say, "Honey, you have to believe me, I really didn't mean to not want to touch you... I really have something I can't say... Never mind, I'll sleep on the sofa, you go sleep in the bed. I'm the one who upset you. I'm the one who should sleep on the sofa."
He'll explain to the clothes later when he has the chance.
"Hmph, that's more like it. 'Hardship' is just an excuse."
Song Ning didn't believe him, so she handed him the blanket and went back to bed.
Huo Beian shook his head.
Sigh. I made my wife angry, so I'm in a bad mood.
I have no idea which bastard drugged my wife.
As a result, his wife kicked him out and made him sleep on the sofa.
He will definitely investigate this thoroughly later.
He will absolutely not be let off!
Huo Beian didn't sleep well that night...
As soon as he closed his eyes, the memory of that childhood event resurfaced before him...
...
The next day, while training the new recruits, he acted as if he had swallowed some kind of poison.
He had a stern, dark face and didn't seem happy.
"Stand up straight!"
How did you manage to assume that horse stance?
"Run two more laps!"
...
The soldiers around him were immediately filled with misery, wondering what was wrong with Battalion Commander Huo.
Just then, the guards arrived.
"Reporting to Battalion Commander Huo, the matter you instructed me to investigate has yielded results."
"Okay. Everyone, take a 10-minute break. Come with me."
During the break, the soldiers began to chatter amongst themselves.
"Why has our battalion commander suddenly become so freakish?!"
"He probably had a fight with his wife."
"Hehe, I never thought our battalion commander would get argued with by his wife."
At this moment, Jiang Feifei, carrying a basket of fruit, came to visit Huo Beian.
Hearing the soldiers' chatter, he secretly chuckled to himself.
It seems that Huo Beian and Song Ning had a fight.
It must be because her plan to drug him yesterday worked.
It's good that they argued.
If they argue, she can take advantage of the situation.
Thinking of this, she took out a small mirror, tidied her hair and clothes, and carrying the basket of fruit, walked towards Huo Beian's office.
At this moment, inside the office.
The guard reported the investigation results to Huo Beian.
"Battalion Commander Huo, it was Jiang Qiang who brought your sister-in-law to the office that day. He must have been the one who drugged her."
"Who is this Jiang Qiang? How dare he be so audacious?"
"Jiang Qiang is Jiang Feifei's cousin from the performing arts troupe, and he just joined the army."
"I understand. You may leave."
"There's one more thing, Battalion Commander. That day, someone saw Meng Yuming also enter your office."
"Meng Yuming?"
Huo Beian began to recall the scene from that day; he remembered that he hadn't seen him.
What's going on?
"Go and fetch Meng Yuming for me."
"good."
As soon as the guard left, Jiang Feifei came in carrying fruit.
"Brother Bei'an, it's getting hot, so I brought you some fruit."
After saying that, she picked up an orange and handed it over.
"Brother Bei'an, try it, it's very sweet."
However, Huo Beian reached out and grabbed her wrist through her clothes, causing the orange to fall to the ground.
"Brother Bei'an, what are you doing? Let go of me, it hurts!"
Jiang Feifei felt a sharp pain in her wrist from being squeezed.
"How many times have I told you, don't call me Brother Bei'an. Who do you think you are to call me Brother Bei'an?"
He then abruptly released his grip, and Jiang Feifei quickly rubbed her wrist, which was already bright red from being pinched.
It has to be said, Huo Beian is incredibly strong.
"Jiang Feifei, I've told you I don't hit women. You forced me to do it this time."
Huo Beian then realized that this matter was definitely related to Jiang Feifei.
"Huo Beian, what are you saying? I don't understand."
"You know Jiang Qiang, right?"
Huo Beian looked up at him, his eyes filled with coldness.
It seemed like it was going to freeze her to death.
"Jiang Qiang?"
Jiang Feifei blushed immediately, wondering if Huo Beian already knew.
But she pretended not to understand, saying, "I don't know it."
"Hehe, you don't even recognize your cousin anymore, Jiang Feifei, you're really something."
Then, the door opened.
Meng Yuming walked in.
"Battalion Commander Huo, you wanted to see me."
"Meng Yuming, tell me, why did you come to my office that day?"
Huo Beian raised his eyes, his cold gaze meeting Meng Yuming's. The black pain in his eyes was like a frozen pool, making Meng Yuming's heart tremble.
"Commander Huo...I..."
Meng Yuming then realized that Huo Beian probably knew something.
It might be too late to hide it anymore.
Thinking of this, Meng Yuming simply told him everything.
"Battalion Commander Huo, to be honest, it was Jiang Feifei who sent me."
"What nonsense are you talking about! I don't even know you!"
Jiang Feifei was somewhat embarrassed and angry when she saw that he had actually betrayed her like that.
A hint of panic flashed across her delicate face.
