With the breadwinners of their families all stationed in the military, more and more family members in the family quarters are becoming increasingly anxious.
Zhao Qinglan simply sat down next to Wu Mei.
The children didn't know what was going on, but they were good at reading the room, and that day no children in the entire residential area were causing any trouble.
The tension lasted until evening.
Li Huai didn't come back for lunch either, and Zhao Qinglan was extremely worried.
She was still trying to figure out if something big had happened in this moment of her past life.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember.
When Li Huai finally appeared at the door, Zhao Qinglan, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped up.
"You're finally back."
The children were still awake, and they were all happy to see him return.
"I'm sorry, Qinglan, we're not allowed to make calls freely anymore, so I can't contact you." He said apologetically.
"It's okay, I understand. Have you eaten? If not, I'll heat up some food for you."
"No, I've already eaten."
After sending the children to bed and quickly washing up, the couple returned to their room.
"What happened today? Can you tell me?"
"I don't know either, but something must have happened." He looked unwell as he mentioned this.
Who would want something to happen to them?
The key point is that he doesn't even know what happened. He's a deputy regimental commander, yet he's not even qualified to know. It must be something serious.
Zhao Qinglan was also surprised that Li Huai was unaware of what had happened.
Will martial law be declared again after that?
"I don't know either. Never mind, let's not think about it anymore. Let's rest." He didn't want these things to affect his pregnant wife.
Zhao Qinglan relaxed a bit, mainly because her husband had returned unharmed.
Since she couldn't recall any major events that had occurred at this point in time, she decided not to think about it anymore; if the sky were to fall, there would be tall people to hold it up.
The couple tried to relax and sleep, but many families in the residential area couldn't sleep all night.
This time, not only Li Huai, but even Wu Mei, the regimental commander's wife, couldn't get any definite information from her husband.
The more this happened, the more Wu Mei realized the seriousness of the problem.
Sun Shengli returned in the middle of the night, and instead of sleeping, he smoked a lot of cigarettes.
Wu Mei had been a military wife for many years and couldn't find out what happened, so she simply stopped asking and just advised her husband to take care of his health no matter what happened.
The tense situation in the entire group lasted for several days.
Li Huai didn't find out what had happened until two days later.
It turned out that the regiment's secure room had been robbed.
This is really a big deal.
The secure room is one of the most important places in the regiment.
If something goes wrong here and isn't handled properly, all the main leaders in the group will be punished.
He knew this only because the regimental commander, Sun Shengli, and the political commissar had cleared him of suspicion.
Now that he knew, he also accepted the important task.
Such a big thing couldn't be kept secret any longer, and the higher-ups, at the division level, quickly sent people over.
Those who were already unaware and somewhat fearful became even more certain that something serious had happened when they saw that people from the division had come.
When Li Huai was unaware of the situation, he could go home every day. But once he found out, he was working overtime for several days in a row and couldn't even go home.
Fortunately, although he couldn't tell Zhao Qinglan the inside story before he went on this mission, he did inform her so that she wouldn't worry too much.
As a military wife, Zhao Qinglan was well prepared to face various unexpected situations.
All I can do is try my best to fulfill my duties and ensure the stability of their little family.
She naturally wouldn't tell her mother and sister about what happened at the military camp, otherwise, besides worrying them, they wouldn't be able to help in any way.
The secret room was burglarized and confidential documents were stolen. The first suspicion within the unit was that there was an inside traitor.
An internal investigation has been launched as a result.
Li Huai was among the first to pass the test.
Unexpectedly, after several days of investigation, instead of finding the culprit behind the theft, other problems were uncovered.
Yang Qingmin, as a deputy regimental-level officer, was one of the first to be investigated.
Although he had nothing to do with the theft from the secret room, he was unexpectedly found to have other things to do.
This matter involved him encouraging his wife to open a snack shop in the city and instructing people to steal.
Sun Shengli and Political Commissar Zhou Hai were already having a lot of trouble these days, and then they saw this other troublesome thing.
Their impression of Yang Qingmin was already greatly diminished, and now they disliked him even more.
No, after finding out these things, it's no longer just a matter of dislike.
An active-duty military officer maintained close ties with hooligans and even instructed them to commit theft and other crimes.
This is not a question of whether or not one will be punished.
Fortunately, someone from the division headquarters arrived, and the matter was resolved very quickly.
Yang Qingmin was taken away for questioning. When he came out, his face was pale and he almost collapsed to the ground.
For Yang Qingmin, his world had collapsed.
He had served in the military for so many years and dreamed of getting promoted and staying in the army for the rest of his life until he retired.
But now, if he's immediately discharged without any resettlement, all he can take with him is his demobilization pay.
That day, cries of grief erupted from Qian Hongxia's home.
Previously, Qian Hongxia had even joked that Zhu Yuqin had gone back to her hometown.
But now, she's not even as good as Zhu Yuqin.
Although Zhu Yuqin went back, her husband was still a soldier and still received allowances.
But for her, the whole family of three had to go back to their hometown to make a living, and her husband's stable allowance income would be gone forever.
This was like falling into hell for her all at once.
