Liu Nuannuan smashed the mirror to the ground like a madwoman, letting out a hysterical scream.
Liu Lihua, who was in the next bed, was also awakened. She grabbed a mirror and when she saw her own equally disfigured face, her eyes rolled back and she fainted from fright!
Their most prized possession, their very survival, their appearance, has been... ruined!
Utterly ruined!
This kind of blow is ten thousand times more painful for them than killing them!
Outside the ward, several nurses gathered together, looking at the human tragedy inside, but their faces showed no sympathy, only a smug smile.
"Serves him right! It's a miracle that God has eyes!"
"Exactly! She always acts like she's above everyone else just because she's the deputy regimental commander's wife and the political commissar's niece. She beats and scolds us all the time. Now look how arrogant she can be!"
"This kind of vicious woman deserves to die like this! It's so satisfying!"
Their gloating became the greatest irony for the Liu family aunt and niece.
When Liu Lihua and Liu Nuannuan woke up again.
They were unable to accept the blow of being disfigured.
But he also knew that after his actions were exposed yesterday, he would face severe punishment.
They didn't want to go to jail, they didn't want to go from being pampered wives of political commissars and deputy regimental commanders to prisoners!
"Jianguo...Jianguo will definitely save me! Jianjun will definitely save Nuannuan too!"
Liu Lihua gripped the bedsheet tightly, her eyes burning with the last glimmer of hope.
"We are their wives! They can't just stand by and watch us die!"
"As long as they are willing to step in, as long as Jianguo is willing to use his connections, we will definitely be able to get out! We definitely will!"
Liu Nuannuan seemed to have grasped at a straw, nodding frantically and muttering to herself.
"Yes! Jianjun... Jianjun loves me the most! He won't let me go to jail! He'll definitely find a way to get me out! He's so capable..."
They placed all their hopes on their men.
They thought that as long as the man was willing to lend a hand, they could escape this calamity.
However, they never dreamed that the man they considered "capable" and "the one who loved them the most" had already abandoned them.
Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open.
Instead of their eagerly awaited husbands, two stern-faced officers from the disciplinary squad entered.
"Liu Lihua, Liu Nuannuan, we are from the division's discipline department. We are now formally interrogating you. We hope you will confess honestly!"
The cold voice shattered their last illusions.
Liu Lihua and Liu Nuannuan exchanged a glance, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.
"I...I have nothing to explain! Go ask my Jianguo! He's the political commissar, he'll explain everything to you!"
Liu Lihua stubbornly tried to intimidate the other party by using her husband's name.
"That's right!"
Liu Nuannuan also shouted shrilly, "What right do you have to interrogate us? My husband is Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou Jianjun! If you dare to touch me, he will definitely not let you get away with it!"
Seeing their arrogant demeanor, showing no remorse even as they faced certain death, the leading officer sneered, took out two freshly written interrogation transcripts from his briefcase, and slammed them onto their hospital beds.
"You still expect your men to succeed? Look at this! These are the handwritten confessions of Political Commissar Wang and Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou!"
"Upon learning of your actions, the two of them were deeply distressed and immediately confessed to the organization, expressing their firm support for the military to deal with the matter strictly and severely!"
"They said they had no idea you were so vicious, plotting such a wicked scheme behind their backs! They are victims too, pitiful people who were deceived by you!"
"They also said... they want to completely sever ties with morally corrupt and vicious women like you!"
These words were like bolts of lightning, striking Liu Lihua and Liu Nuannuan repeatedly on the top of their heads!
They picked up the transcript in disbelief, staring at the familiar signature and the cold, ruthless statements that absolved them of all responsibility. Their minds went blank!
I've been abandoned!
They were completely and utterly abandoned by their men!
"No...it's impossible...Jianguo wouldn't do this to me..."
Liu Lihua trembled all over and tore at the transcript like a madwoman.
"Jianjun...you lied to me...didn't you say you would love me forever...?"
Liu Nuannuan collapsed on the bed, letting out a mournful cry, completely broken down.
Their greatest reliance, their last hope, at this moment, turned into the most fatal and vicious knife stabbing into their hearts!
It turns out that in those men's eyes, they were nothing more than pawns that could be sacrificed at any time for their future and interests!
"Nowadays, those who confess will be treated leniently, and those who resist will be treated severely."
"You can't escape!"
The cold voice echoed in the ward, completely shattering Liu Lihua and Liu Nuannuan's last psychological defenses.
Their faces were ashen, and they were utterly despondent.
Their looks, which they were so proud of and relied on for survival, are ruined.
The powerful backer they cherished and relied on to bully others has also collapsed.
All that awaited them were cold iron bars and endless regret.
This farce has finally come to an end in a way that is truly gratifying.
The news that Liu Lihua and Liu Nuannuan poisoned others and then suffered the consequences themselves, as well as that Political Commissar Wang and Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou were summoned for questioning overnight, spread like wildfire throughout the entire 74th Division.
Immediately afterwards, the division headquarters issued a strongly worded disciplinary notice—
