The next morning.
Huo Beian then called Meng Yuming to his office and handed him the sachet.
"Meng Yuming, this is the sachet you gave me. Take a look at what's inside."
Meng Yuming was somewhat panicked. After opening the sachet, he looked at the dark medicinal herbs and asked in confusion, "What is this? Battalion Commander, I don't know. Don't scare me, just tell me."
"This is musk that can cause miscarriage. Meng Yuming, why did you want to harm my child? Speak!" Huo Beian stood up and slammed his fist on the table.
The loud noise startled Meng Yuming, making him tremble all over.
"What? This... Battalion Commander, it wasn't me..."
Meng Yuming broke out in a cold sweat, his mind racing. He couldn't understand how there could be musk in something that Song Xue had sewn by hand. Could it be that Song Xue had put it in?
But why did Song Xue do this?
"Who else could it be but you? You gave it to me personally, how could it be fake?"
Huo Beian slammed his fist on the table with a loud thud, startling Meng Yuming so much that he trembled all over again.
"Commander, to be honest, I didn't make this purse, and I had no idea... it would contain musk..."
"Then tell me, who did it? Hmm?" Huo Beian looked at him sharply.
Meng Yuming felt a chill run down his spine and stopped lying, confessing everything, "Yes...yes..."
"Who is it? Tell me! Are you trying to exonerate yourself?" Huo Beian pressed on, wanting to see if Meng Yuming would implicate Song Xue.
Meng Yuming broke out in a cold sweat. He wanted to say that Song Xue was the one who did it, but he knew Huo Beian's methods. He was afraid that if he said it was Song Xue, she would be arrested and might even go to jail, ruining her life.
He had just slept with Song Xue, and he really couldn't bear to do it.
However, if he doesn't speak up, he will be implicated.
At this moment, Meng Yuming began to waver between his future and the woman, feeling very conflicted.
Seeing that Meng Yuming did not react, Huo Beian continued to intensify his efforts, "Meng Yuming, if you don't tell the truth, I'll call the police right now. Go and talk to the police."
Upon hearing that the police were going to be called, Meng Yuming immediately confessed.
"Battalion Commander, it was...it was Song Xue who gave me this purse."
After all, what does a woman matter? His future is more important. He came from the countryside, finally became a platoon leader, and his future is bright. How could he let himself be ruined by a woman?
"It really was Song Xue. I suspected her when your sister-in-law almost miscarried last time, but I had no proof. This time, we have both witnesses and physical evidence. I'm calling the police right now."
After saying that, Huo Beian prepared to pick up the phone and dial a number.
But Meng Yuming suddenly knelt down, pleading, "Battalion Commander, please, please don't call the police..."
Huo Beian was truly furious that Meng Yuming had gone to such lengths for Song Xue.
"Meng Yuming! You're a soldier, and you actually knelt down for me for a woman. Where is your integrity? Song Xue's actions were too heinous, and I will definitely seek justice. Your kneeling won't help."
"battalion commander……"
"Get out of here!"
Huo Beian was genuinely angry; he hadn't expected Meng Yuming to be so soft-hearted!
Meng Yuming wanted to continue pleading, but seeing that Huo Beian was determined, he dared not say anything more.
He had no choice but to get up and leave with his head hanging low.
As soon as Meng Yuming left, Huo Beian told the guards, "Keep an eye on Meng Yuming. If he goes to see Song Xue, come back and report immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
Meng Yuming's mind was buzzing, and the thought of Song Xue being arrested made him feel uneasy.
He wandered aimlessly until he arrived at the cafeteria.
He thought about it for a moment, and finally went inside and found Song Xue backstage.
"Song Xue, come out here, I have something to say to you."
Song Xue followed him out and came to a secluded corner.
"What's wrong, Mingming? You miss me so soon?"
Song Xue deliberately gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek, and Meng Yuming's heart trembled. He couldn't bring himself to ask the question he had prepared, but after hesitating for a moment, he still blurted it out.
"Song Xue... let's break up."
Now that this has happened, there is no longer any possibility between him and Song Xue.
"Break up? Meng Yuming, you slept with me last night, and you're telling me you want to break up today? I gave you my virginity!"
Meng Yuming's eyes darkened, and he finally clenched his fist. "You used me to drug Song Ning. There was musk in the sachet you sewed. Battalion Commander Huo has already found out and is going to call the police. I'm very disappointed in you, so let's break up."
"What? This..."
Song Xue really didn't expect that this matter would be exposed so quickly, after all, most people can't distinguish between musk and ordinary fragrances.
But she still pretended to be wronged, "Mingming, I'm innocent! I didn't know it was musk. I don't know anything about traditional Chinese medicine. I just smelled it and put it in."
Meng Yuming looked at her pitiful appearance without saying a word.
Is she really innocent?
Seeing that Meng Yuming remained silent, she threw herself into his arms, crying, "Mingming, I'm telling the truth, I didn't know..."
"You should talk to the police about this. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, it has already constituted intentional assault. I can't help you."
"you……"
Seeing that Meng Yuming wasn't going to help her, Song Xue was a little angry, but also somewhat helpless. "Are you just going to stand by and watch me get taken away?"
Meng Yuming took out 200 yuan and ten grain coupons from his pocket and handed them to her. "Take these and run before the police arrive. Don't come back."
