Chapter 183 First Class Merit
Ye Rou turned around and saw the soldier she had met on the train—Regiment Commander Zhao Ming, with Professor Li Ping Li standing next to him.
"Comrade Ye Rou, it's really you." Zhao Ming was not sure at first, but when he really saw Ye Rou, he immediately smiled.
"Captain Zhao, Professor Li, long time no see." Ye Rou greeted them with a smile, her eyes more focused on Li Ping. She really felt that Li Ping looked familiar, but she really couldn't think of where she had seen him before.
Zhao Ming noticed Ye Rou's gaze and his heart skipped a beat.
Professor Li's success in scientific research is obvious to all, but he is also notoriously difficult to please. He hates being stared at, hates speaking in public, hates being talked to by strangers, is picky about food, and often quarrels with others over scientific research issues, often making other senior professors so angry that they almost choke.
Even though Ye Rou was Professor Li's niece, he was afraid that Li Ping would feel uncomfortable with Ye Rou's gaze, so he quickly turned to look at Professor Li. However, Professor Li's face was calm, and there was even a very subtle smile at the corner of his mouth, which could only be noticed by people who were very familiar with him?
Perhaps his gaze was too direct, Professor Li felt it, and turned his head to look at him. It was still the familiar gaze, cold, bored, and a warning not to look at me again.
Zhao Ming looked away and sighed silently in his heart. Although Professor Li seemed unkind, he was actually closer to his niece than others.
He looked at Comrade Ye Rou and said solemnly, "Comrade Ye Rou, please come with me."
Ye Rou didn't understand what was going on, but seeing that Captain Zhao was serious, she said something to Sun Xiaoxing and followed him out.
The three of them found a quiet ward. Ye Rou had just closed the door and turned around when Zhao Ming saluted her. She was startled and more confused.
Zhao Ming said solemnly, "Comrade Ye Rou, I have already reported your heroic deeds of discovering the bomb on the train and rescuing Professor Li. After review and approval by the Military Commission, I have awarded you a first-class merit medal and a thirty-yuan bonus."
Ye Rou was stunned.
She knew that first-class merit was awarded in the future. Her grandfather was a soldier when he was young and had won first-class merit. She knew best that the country's policy of preferential treatment for first-class merit favored her, but she had never thought that she could also win first-class merit.
"Captain Zhao, why did I get this first-class merit?" Ye Rou wanted to ask clearly.
Zhao Ming explained, "You have made significant contributions and impact in preserving and protecting secrets, combating leaks and the theft and infiltration of enemy spies. Comrade Ye Rou, you discovered the bomb in time, saving the lives of thirteen science professors and Professor Sun, and then intercepted an assassination attempt by enemy spies. Therefore, you are awarded the First Class Medal of Merit."
He added: "Originally there was going to be a commendation meeting, but because the enemy agents were in the dark and we were in the light, we were afraid of retaliation from the enemy agents, so we cancelled the commendation meeting."
Zhao Ming also wanted to send Professor Li to see the old leader. After telling Ye Rou the news, he said goodbye to Professor Li and Ye Rou and left in a hurry.
After leaving the ward and walking a little further, Zhao Ming looked at Professor Li and asked puzzledly, "Didn't the professor recognize Comrade Ye Rou?"
The military department needs to conduct an investigation before issuing the first-class military medal, and they have thoroughly investigated Comrade Ye Rou's background.
Her grandfather was the director of the political commissar, and her father was Commander Liang. She was also good friends with Commander Li and Dean Ying. Two professors from University A lived in her house, and even the old lady from the Song family was acquainted with her. In his opinion, there was no one in the entire Beijing city with stronger and more frightening connections than Comrade Ye Rou.
Comrade Ye Rou is also very outstanding. She studied under the Chinese medicine practitioner Liu Yutang and saved the lives of the people in Lijia Village. They know every single one of these things.
Therefore, they knew the relationship between Professor Li and Comrade Ye Rou.
Zhao Ming originally thought that Professor Li would recognize Comrade Ye Rou, but it seemed that Comrade Ye Rou did not know the relationship between her and Professor Li.
Li Ping said calmly, "Let's talk about it after this month."
Zhao understood clearly that the science and technology conference in March was of utmost importance. The military was busy with these things, and even the old leader was sick due to the anxiety. Professor Li was an important scientific researcher, not only was he valued by the country, but also by many enemy spies. It was better not to cause trouble.
As the two men were talking, they came to the top floor of the military hospital. Two armed soldiers were guarding the door. Zhao Ming did not go in. Instead, he reported Professor Li's identity and proof materials and sent Professor Li in to meet the old leader.
He waited at the door.
——
The Qu family's second floor has the best sunlight. The largest bedroom is completely dark. A person is lying on the big bed, and his light breathing proves that he is still alive.
Seeing that the food was not touched at all, Jiang Zhao frowned and walked out of the house, avoiding the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
Qu Zhi was waiting outside the door. Seeing Jiang Zhao coming out, he asked anxiously, "Are you willing to eat?"
Jiang Zhao shook his head and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Qu Zhi said with a cold face: "Her affair with Zhao Guo was discovered by Zhao Guo's wife, and Jin Aiqing blocked her at home and beat her up."
Jiang Zhao frowned. If it was just this matter, his mother wouldn't have collapsed like this. "Uncle, is there something else?"
Qu Zhi sighed and said, "Your father was also in that yard when Jin Aiqing came to our house."
"So what?" Jiang Zhao still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. After all, this kind of thing had happened many times since he could remember.
His mother was a very attractive person, always surrounded by men who pursued her. Whenever she and his father had a quarrel, she would go out and find a man. On a few occasions, his father even pulled his mother out of bed, but he never saw him get angry.
Therefore, Jiang Zhao always felt that his parents were true love. If it weren't for Zhao Yuyan and Jiang Chen, their family of three would be very happy and harmonious.
Qu Zhi looked at his nephew who was still in the dark and said helplessly: "Your mother said that Jiang Dehai has had enough and will not contact her again."
"How is this possible!" Jiang Zhao's usually gentle look suddenly turned ferocious.
Qu Zhi shook his head and said, "I also hope it's fake. If it's true..."
He looked towards the closed house, wondering what crazy thing his sister would do.
While the two were talking, Qu San walked upstairs and handed the paper in his hand to Qu Zhi.
Qu Zhi took the paper and frowned even deeper after reading it. He looked at Jiang Zhao and said in a suddenly cold tone, "You and Liang An Ning should finalize your relationship as soon as possible."
Jiang Zhao frowned. He didn't like Liang An Ning at all. She was ugly and arrogant. The last time he saw Jiang Chen, he looked like a fangirl and it made him feel sick.
Qu Zhi: "The wife Jiang Chen married is not some country peasant woman at all. She is Commander Liang's daughter who has been missing for twenty years. Her grandfather, Zheng Zhiyuan, is the newly appointed political commissar."
Jiang Zhao snatched the paper and began to read it carefully. The more he read, the deeper his frown deepened.
Qu Zhi knew that his nephew wanted to be Jiang Dehai's real son and wanted his sister to marry Jiang Dehai and form a real family, but because of Zhao Yuyan and Jiang Chen, Jiang Zhao's idea could not be realized.
Originally, Wang Meng and his men wanted to destroy Jiang Chen and make him die of exhaustion in the illegal mine, but they all failed. Now that Jiang Chen has married Ye Rou and gained another helper, it may not be so easy for Jiang Zhao to touch Jiang Chen.
Jiang Zhao crumpled the paper ball, his gentle face showing resentment, "Uncle, why is his luck always so good?"
Qu Zhi sighed and was about to persuade his nephew to be more open-minded when he heard him say in a cold voice: "I will marry Liang An Ning, and Jiang Chen must divorce Ye Rou."
