Lunch was ready, but Li Huai still hadn't returned.
The children also asked where the others had gone.
Zhao Qinglan could only try to gloss over the situation for now.
After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Zhao Qinglan said to the old man, "Grandpa Dou, I'm going out to make a phone call."
"Go on, go on," the old man waved his hand.
She immediately grabbed the paper with Zhang Yu's phone number written on it and went out.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hello, I'm looking for Zhang Yu."
Although Zhang's mother was a little confused, she still called out to the other end.
When Zhang Yu ran over, his mother was still standing by.
"Hello, this is Zhang Yu."
"Zhang Yu, this is Zhao Qinglan. Did Li Huai come to see you today?"
"Yes, he hasn't gone back yet?" Zhang Yu asked knowingly.
"right."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, he'll be fine. He's gone to take care of some business."
"Oh, I see. Never mind then, I was just asking casually."
With Zhang Yu's words, Zhao Qinglan's tense heart finally relaxed a little, and she quickly hung up the phone.
When Zhang's mother heard her son call her sister-in-law, she knew she had been overthinking things.
"Li Huai's wife?"
"yes."
"What exactly did Li Huai do?" Zhang's mother asked.
"Mom, don't bother asking. It's important anyway. I'll tell you later if I can."
Seeing her son's secretive demeanor, Zhang's mother sighed helplessly.
Under the cover of night, a truck drove up to the gate. The soldier on guard saluted and walked to the back of the truck.
"Hey, you little brat, come back here."
"What's wrong, squad leader?" the young soldier asked, puzzled.
"This car doesn't need to be checked."
"Why? Aren't we supposed to check every single car?"
"Why do you talk so much? Just listen to me."
"oh."
Not far from the main gate, Yu Huimin was anxiously waiting with someone.
Seeing that the car was allowed to pass smoothly, both of them smiled.
If they pull off this deal, they can have a good New Year.
Unfortunately, they were too quick to celebrate.
The truck had just driven out of the gate and turned a corner about ten meters when suddenly more than a dozen armed men appeared on both sides.
"Stop the car! Stop the car immediately!"
The military truck came to a stop with an emergency brake.
There was no way around it; all those gun barrels were pointed at the driver's cab. The driver couldn't stop even if he wanted to, unless he was suicidal.
As soon as the car stopped, two soldiers came forward and opened the car door.
"Get down and put your hands on your heads!"
The two people in the car just got off.
Two soldiers then brought the man over.
"Reporting to the company commander, these two are spying on us over there."
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding," Yu Huimin quickly explained, bowing her head.
"That's right, it's a misunderstanding, you've arrested the wrong person," another woman said, trying to cover her face with her bag.
"Take them all with us first," Company Commander Pang ordered directly.
“Hey, you can’t take us away. Do you know who I am?” Yu Huimin suddenly looked up.
"I don't care who you are. We are currently carrying out a mission, so please cooperate with the investigation." Company Commander Pang remained unmoved.
"I am the wife of Li Zhenhua, the deputy chief of staff of the military region!" Yu Huimin finally couldn't help but reveal her identity.
Unexpectedly, Company Commander Pang merely squinted and scrutinized her for a moment before waving to the soldiers beside him. "Take her away."
Yu Huimin and the woman beside her were completely dumbfounded.
She had already identified herself; shouldn't these soldiers have treated her with utmost respect and politely sent her back? Why did they have to arrest her?
Yu Huimin's heart gradually sank.
With such a commotion, the soldiers on guard at the gate naturally saw it too.
The squad leader who had just stopped the young soldier from inspecting the soldiers was now sweating profusely despite the cold weather.
"Squad leader, what's going on over there?" Because of their duties, they couldn't go and see what was happening, so he could only ask in a low voice.
Unfortunately, he didn't receive a response.
Inside a large office, Li Huai was having tea with an elderly man when someone knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Just then, Company Commander Pang, who had been leading the guard company to arrest people, strode in.
He saluted and then began to speak.
"Commander, the car has been stopped."
Commander Liao looked up. "Have you looked at what was in the car?"
"I checked, they're all new, just pulled out of Curry."
"Sigh, you were right after all." He looked at Li Huai.
Hearing this, Li Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Liao, you've commanded well; you're still as sharp as ever."
"Haha, you little rascal, I never knew you could flatter people like that."
After laughing, Commander Liao's expression turned serious again.
“These peaceful days haven’t lasted long, and some people’s hearts have already changed. It’s time to clean up the ranks.”
Li Huai dared not respond to that.
"Commander, there's something else," Company Commander Pang suddenly said.
"Oh? What's going on?"
"When we intercepted the car, we also caught two people: the wife of Deputy Chief of Staff Li and the wife of a director in the logistics department."
Yu Huimin was arrested, which surprised even Li Huai.
But he quickly cheered up.
Wouldn't that be even better? He wanted to see how Li Zhenhua would save his precious wife this time.
Having already seen the evidence Li Huai had brought, Commander Liao remained calm after hearing the report.
“Call Deputy Chief of Staff Li and ask him to come see me.”
"Yes." Company Commander Pang turned and left.
Commander Liao then looked at Li Huai.
"This is something that can only be done once, not twice. Go back now, and I won't mention you to anyone else."
