Han Jingyuan questioned the motive, and the leaders also wanted to know.
"We have reviewed Chen Wusheng's life again. Before he went to the countryside, he lived in the same city as your wife but had never met her. After he went to the Northwest, there was no chance of contact. After your wife came to South Island, she met him once at the market and last time at the beach. In order to protect you from being exposed, she went into the sea to save him."
Chen Tuan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. "There is a suspicious point here. Shen Meijing risked exposing her secret meeting with her ex-boyfriend and went to the police station to report Su Ying for premeditated murder. Let's assume that what she reported was true. After Su Ying rescued Chen Wusheng, what made her suddenly angry and change her mind? She dragged Chen Wusheng several meters away and pushed him back into the sea, intending to drown him?"
He paused and explained why he was doubting at this moment.
"What is the motive behind Su Ying's abnormal behavior? If we can find the motive, we might be able to understand Chen Wusheng's motive as well."
Chen Wusheng had no memory of this brief period of being flooded, and Shen Meijing did not seem to have any need to lie. The situation at the time was most likely that Chen Wusheng said something that irritated Su Ying, causing Su Ying to fly into a rage and want to drown him immediately.
Perhaps during the flooding process, Su Ying gradually calmed down, because from Shen Meijing's confession, Su Ying took the initiative to drag Chen Wusheng ashore again.
In the end, he didn't die.
No one raised this doubt at the time. Everyone thought that Comrade Su Ying was afraid of trouble, did not want to be charged with premeditated murder, and did not want to be interrogated. In addition, Chen Wusheng did not remember it and was defending his savior in various ways, so no one investigated further.
Not investigating it in depth does not mean that it has not happened. Now that suspicious points of a chain reaction have emerged, we must investigate the previous suspicious point to find a breakthrough.
The four people present knew it well, but the three leaders were unable to say anything for a moment when facing Han Jingyuan's tense face.
Seeing that Commander Qi and Captain Chen had no intention of speaking, Xu Yuezhou cursed in his heart, wondering why he had to do all the jobs that offended others.
He had no choice but to ask. He knew that as long as he opened his mouth, Han Jingyuan would tell the truth as it was his duty.
"You were also at the beach that day. Did Su Ying drag Chen Wusheng into the sea again after rescuing him?"
Chen Tuan felt that the question was too cruel and he shouldn't have raised any doubts.
Even if no one mentions it, this doubt will become a pustule in everyone's heart, and someone has to pick it apart.
…
Han Jingyuan's thoughts went back to the seashore that day. The strong wind brought with it huge waves. Who knew where on the seabed the waves would carry people. Even he had no confidence that he could rescue Chen Wusheng in time if he was still alive.
Even if we are lucky enough to find Chen Wusheng in the sea with extremely low visibility, what we might rescue is just a corpse.
But Su Ying was much faster than he expected. The positioning could be described as precise. After Chen Wusheng was rescued, he was still able to maintain some consciousness.
So, when a quarrel was heard on the beach, Han Jingyuan closed his eyes, retreated to the innermost part of the crevice, and covered his ears.
He heard nothing and saw nothing.
Han Jingyuan solemnly declared, "I swear on this military uniform that I was afraid of being exposed and did not risk looking out. I did not see the scene at the time and cannot confirm Shen Meijing's testimony."
Several leaders felt relieved. Han Jingyuan would not lie. Since he said he didn't see it, then he really didn't see it.
Now we are at a stalemate again, and only the parties involved can give the answer to this doubt.
Either ask Chen Wusheng, or Su Ying can answer it herself.
Xu Yue said: "Our insider is trying to find out Chen Wusheng's motives. We can't just sit there and wait. My suggestion is, Han Jingyuan, why don't you go home and ask your wife? Maybe she has some clues."
Han Jingyuan's expression was indifferent. "What do the leaders mean? Do you really suspect that my wife has a relationship with Chen Wusheng?"
Xu Yuezhou was helpless and patted Han Jingyuan on the shoulder. "Look, you are impulsive again. We just think your wife is smart. Information should be communicated in a timely manner. Maybe she can provide some ideas?"
Han Jingyuan: "Ideas? Ask my wife and she'll give you one? It would be better to just beat Chen Wusheng up, it would be faster to ask directly."
He flipped through the documents on the desk and pulled out the piece of paper that showed the connection between Su Ying and Chen Wusheng. The records on the paper did not even fill up half a page.
He said, "I have reason to suspect that Chen Wusheng is being mysterious. I applied to spy on him at his residence tonight. I can tell from his micro-expressions and movements whether he is pretending or talking unconsciously in his sleep."
"It's pitch dark, what can you see?" Xu Yuezhou said angrily.
Han Jingyuan said: "Chen Wusheng lives in a terrible environment. The roof leaks, the windows leak, and there are no curtains. It's a full moon tonight, so you can see it."
Xu Yuezhou: ...Okay, this is the only solution we have.
…
In the guesthouse of Nandao, Wen Hai, Cui Xingdong's nominal subordinate but actually his bodyguard, asked, "Mr. Cui, is Chen Wusheng deliberately playing tricks on us to delay time?"
Cui Xingdong asked with a smile: "Ahai, do you believe in love at first sight?"
Wen Hai thought to himself, I have been rejected by six blind dates and have never held a girl's hand. How can you and me fall in love at first sight? That's just something some literary young man did. It has nothing to do with me.
He shook his head. "I don't believe it. We should be down-to-earth in life. It's useless to do those empty things. Men should be able to earn money to feed and clothe their wives and children. Women should be virtuous and help men take care of the family so that they can have a hot meal when they come home. That's what a couple is, and that's what life is."
That's true, Cui Xingdong said, "People are different. After all, that little girl is his savior. She is so beautiful that he would lose his soul just by looking at her. What's more, she fished him out of the sea. If it were me, I would also find a way to get her away. You, a rough man, don't understand that those tyrants in ancient times could really destroy their country for a beauty."
Wen Haixin said that it was true that I was a rough man, but I was not shameless enough to put the blame of the country's demise on a woman. Men are lustful so what, why blame women for being too beautiful?
Take him for example. He clearly saved the leader's life, but the leader not only didn't repay the favor or promote him, but he actually led him to commit treason, a capital crime.
A rough man of 1.85 meters tall, he is very sensitive and timid. He just wants to make a contribution and go home to live with his wife and children. Damn love at first sight. Fortunately, the organization gives him the opportunity to make a contribution as an insider.
Wen Hai chatted casually, "No matter how pretty she is, she is still someone else's daughter-in-law. Her man looks taller and better looking than Chen Wusheng. Women always like men who are stronger than themselves. If I were that girl, I would not choose a weak scholar like Chen Wusheng."
Cui Xingdong chuckled like a rooster, "What does it matter? There is no corner in this world that cannot be dug. If it is really impossible, just knock him out and tie him up."
…
Before Han Jingyuan was called away, he told Su Ying that he would not go home that night.
It was just right that he went to meet Chen Wusheng.
When I came out from my leader's place and passed by the Su's house, there was a quarrel in the Su's house again. Shen Meijing was still persistent in asking for a divorce.
Divorce is fine, but you have to explain everything about her before you divorce. Han Jingyuan withdrew his gaze.
Passing by his own door, there was no light on. It seemed that everyone, big or small, had gone to bed. Han Jingyuan stopped for a while and thought to himself that although he really wanted to hug his wife to sleep, he should wait until this difficult task was over.
He went to the farm.
The farm's fence posed no challenge to Han Jingyuan, and he reached the farm's educated youth center smoothly, which consisted of several dilapidated wooden buildings with attics.
The conditions for the educated youth were indeed difficult. The small attic was not habitable and could only be used to store sundries. Because of the special care given by Comrade Hao Chunying, the only daughter of the farm director, Chen Wusheng was able to live in the smallest two-person room.
There were only two 90-centimeter beds in the room. Perhaps because Chen Wusheng had been talking in his sleep recently, his roommate moved to another room. Han Jingyuan entered the attic from the roof and through the gap saw the young and thin young man below, who had fallen into a deep sleep due to exhaustion after a day's work.
Han Jingyuan thought that this was not considered trespassing, but rather carrying out a mission. When he was stalking suspects before, they had eaten and lived together, all for the sake of the mission.
One to three in the morning is when a person sleeps the deepest. According to the testimony of Chen Wusheng's roommate, Chen Wusheng always talked in his sleep during this time period.
It is now 1:30 in the morning. Han Jingyuan plans to wait until 3:30. No matter whether Chen Wusheng talks in his sleep or not, he will leave.
"Creaky," there was a very slight sound of footsteps coming from the attic roof.
Han Jingyuan's whole body tensed up, and he cursed inwardly, who was this person who was hiding on the roof like him in the middle of the night? He was here for the mission, but where was the man on the roof?
Is it Hao Chunying, Shen Meijing? Or Cui Xingdong?
Han Jingyuan's clothes were soaked with cold sweat on the back. The other party was coming down and he had no way to avoid it. He could either jump down and leave through the main door, or knock the person unconscious.
Chen Wusheng went to sleep and not only locked the door, but also pushed a cabinet next to the door to block it.
The grown man didn't know who to guard against. If he went down to open the door, Chen Wusheng would definitely wake up. How would he explain it then?
Han Jingyuan decided without much hesitation to knock out the person on the rooftop...
He squeezed sideways to the very corner of the attic, and soon the movable skylight on the roof was opened, and a head with thick hair slowly moved down, with a ponytail hanging upside down. In the dark and windy night, a long bunch of hair hung in front of the face, which was quite scary.
If Han Jingyuan was not extremely familiar with Su Ying's hair length, thickness, and the scent of her shampoo, he would have hit his wife on the neck with a knife.
At this moment, there was a very slight noise outside Chen Wusheng's room, and someone was trying to push the door and open the window.
Han Jingyuan felt a little pity for the man below, who had to use a cabinet to prop up the door when he slept. His defense against thieves was not without reason.
Han Jingyuan quickly covered Su Ying's mouth and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, Ah Ying, it's me."
Su Ying: ...Han Jingyuan is on a mission here, so how does she explain climbing into another man's attic in the middle of the night? Is it too late for her to disappear now?
…
The attic was small and crowded. One person couldn't turn around while crouching there. Su Ying came down, which exacerbated the crowd. She could only half squat and half sit on Han Jingyuan's thighs, pressed against the man's chest. The space forced them to face each other.
Moonlight poured down from the skylight above their heads, illuminating the two people's bewildered faces, waiting for someone to speak first.
Su Ying put one arm around Han Jingyuan's neck and held the beam above her head with the other, trying to reduce the weight on the man.
The air was so quiet that even Chen Wusheng's breathing could be heard while he was sleeping below.
After a while, Su Ying leaned close to Han Jingyuan's ear and asked in a very low voice, "Are you tired?"
Han Jingyuan spoke in the same voice close to Su Ying's ear, and couldn't avoid touching her when he spoke. "It's okay, much easier than doing horse stance, and it won't be a problem to hold on for a few hours."
The subtle noises outside the window stopped. It was unknown how long he would have to stay in the attic. Han Jingyuan explained, "I'm here to carry out a mission..."
Su Ying guessed that if he didn't come to the mission, he would go crazy and stay in the attic in the middle of the night, watching another grown man sleeping? He might as well go home and hug his wife to sleep.
"I know, that's why I didn't ask you."
Han Jingyuan bit her earlobe again, gnashing his teeth, "What about you, Ah Ying? You ran into a man's room in the middle of the night. Can you find an excuse to explain it?"
Su Ying tilted her head back, slightly distanced herself from him, stared into his deep eyes, and said with a smile, "You jealous bastard, you don't think I stayed up late at night and climbed up to the attic of the Youth League Center to meet Chen Wusheng privately, do you? Of course I'm here to investigate the case, what else would I be here for?"
Han Jingyuan tilted his head slightly and lowered his eyes, afraid that Su Ying would see through him. He was just jealous, so jealous that he had lost his normal judgment.
Through the cracks in the attic floor, one could see Chen Wusheng frowning and tossing and turning, as if he was having a nightmare. In the nightmare, his hands were waving in the air, and he was shouting, "Aying, Aying..."
Su Ying: ...
Han Jingyuan: ...
After hearing it with their own ears, the two did not think that Chen Wusheng was calling Hao Chunying's nickname in his dream.
Su Ying's heart trembled when she was poked by Han Jingyuan's hurt eyes, and she said innocently: "Don't look at me, I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't have come to this attic to squat. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep at home with you in my arms?"
Han Jingyuan blushed, pecked her cheek lightly, and said bitterly: "You said, when this mission is over, don't forget to hold me to sleep."
…
Chen Wusheng's nightmare caused him to talk in his sleep again. There were only two words he kept repeating over and over again: "Aying, Aying..." Apart from giving people ambiguous fantasies, no other useful information could be obtained.
But a quarrel broke out outside the window because of this.
First, Comrade Hao Chunying, the most beautiful girl on the farm, was furious, "Shen Meijing, you were tricked by Chen Wusheng to go to the beach for a secret meeting, and you sneaked into the farm in the middle of the night and pried open someone's window. You are so shameless."
Shen Meijing asked angrily: "What did you do with Chen Wusheng? Why did he call your name in his dream? Tell me, what did you do to him?"
Hao Chunying was surprised and indescribably happy. "He really called my name. You heard it but you didn't leave. You are just asking for trouble by staying here."
Shen Meijing was obviously enraged again. She woke up all the educated youths in the educated youths' courtyard outside the door. They all ran out to try to stop the fight after getting dressed. Someone even knocked on Chen Wusheng's door, telling him to come out quickly and stop pretending to be asleep.
Chen Wusheng was obviously awake, his hands resting weakly on his eyelids, his chest heaving up and down, gasping for breath with no hope in life.
After a while, he got up, moved the cabinet behind the door, opened the bolt, and went out, shouting, "What do you want to do by coming to the educated youth camp to spy in the middle of the night? Call the police!"
Twenty minutes later, police arrived from the police station.
The educated youth site was even noisier than during the day.
Su Ying sighed in the attic, "Han Jingyuan, when can we go out? Are your legs numb?"
Han Jingyuan: "Is this what you are worried about now? You might as well think about how to explain it if someone is found in the attic?"
Su Ying: "I've thought about it. I'll say that you came to Chen Wusheng in the middle of the night out of jealousy and hatred, and I caught up with you in time and stopped you."
Han Jingyuan: "...Oh, who would believe it?"
Soon, someone set up a ladder in the room to search the attic.
Because Shen Meijing insisted that she heard a creaking sound from the roof when she was outside just now, for the sake of Chen Wusheng's safety and privacy, she asked to search the attic.
Director Hao thinks that Shen Meijing is hysterical. Who else is like her, running to a man's window in the middle of the night to listen to his sleep talking?
There won't be another bored person who would hide in the attic and listen to a grown man talking in his sleep. If you have nothing better to do, you might as well go home and hug your wife to sleep...
Director Hao's wild thoughts came to an abrupt end when he ran into a young couple sitting on their knees in the attic, hugging their wife, listening to the grown man talking in his sleep.
The young policeman holding the ladder below looked up and asked, "Captain, is there anyone in the attic?"
Han Jingyuan half-knelt, one hand around Su Ying's slender waist, the other hand around her to clasp her fists, and used his mouth to convey the message: "Execute the mission..."
After all, Director Hao is his comrade and is clear about Han Jingyuan's identity. Although it is a bit strange that he appears in the attic of a man who has gossips with his wife with his arm around his wife, the mission is above all else.
Director Hao reacted very quickly. He silently expressed his understanding with his lips, and vigilantly pulled out the corner of Su Ying's clothes that was leaking from the gap, then walked down the stairs as if nothing had happened.
Then he took the ladder out of the room and scolded, "It's such a small attic. You can see the end at a glance. There's not even a mouse. How can there be anyone?"
…
Before daybreak, with the cooperation of Director Hao, Su Ying and Han Jingyuan successfully left the small attic without attracting attention, and reported their work to their leader in the office half an hour later.
Both of their clothes were wrinkled. A few strands of hair had broken free from Su Ying's thick black single braid and fell on her temples. As she gulped down the porridge and ate the steamed buns, the strands of hair almost ended up in her mouth along with the buns.
Han Jingyuan paused for a few seconds, and finally couldn't help it. Under the gaze of several leaders, he reached out and tucked the strands of hair behind Su Ying's ears.
He withdrew his hand and said nonchalantly, "Leader, let me report my work."
When Su Ying heard that he had to report on his work, he did not put down the food in his hand immediately like the professional soldiers. Instead, he used the logic of another world and thought that no matter what, he should fill his stomach first, because who knows when the next meal will be.
She quickened her swallowing speed, chewing and swallowing half of the steamed bun in her hand in several bites. She also kept observing the expressions of the leaders, ready to answer questions at any time. However, the steamed bun was too dry, and she choked and hit her chest several times.
Commander Qi immediately criticized Han Jingyuan, "It doesn't matter if you let Comrade Xiao Su finish her steamed buns in these few minutes. She's so pitiful. Look how hungry she is."
Su Ying took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth. "Reporting to the leader, I have finished eating. I went to the educated youth site on the farm last night and climbed to the attic of Chen Wusheng's sleeping room. I wanted to find out whether Chen Wusheng was talking in his sleep or was pretending or unconscious. After all, it is difficult for a man to deceive a woman, especially a smart and alert female comrade like me."
Han Jingyuan: ...
Leaders: …
Political Commissar Xu suppressed his laughter and asked, "Then based on your observation, what do you think of Chen Wusheng's situation? If he is pretending, his scheming is too scary."
After analysis, Su Ying basically ruled out the possibility that Chen Wusheng was pretending. After all, it was impossible for him to foresee that after living alone, someone would climb into his attic or squat at the window outside his house. There was no need for him to pretend when he was alone.
She said, "I think Chen Wusheng's condition is very similar to that of a split personality. There are medical cases of this. The sleep talking and agreeing to Cui Xingdong's deal should all be caused by another personality. When his main personality comes out, he can't remember what his secondary personality said or did."
This is a new idea. Combined with Chen Wusheng's experience and encounter, it should be left to experts to analyze.
Commander Qi said, "Let's assume that Chen Wusheng was not pretending and that he really had another personality. Then after he was pulled out of the sea, another personality might have come out. What did that personality say to Xiao Su that made Xiao Su so angry that she pushed him into the sea to vent her anger?"
Su Ying looked at Han Jingyuan, and then the three leaders also looked at Han Jingyuan.
Han Jingyuan is innocent. Su Ying thought he was the one who informed on her? Then she will be left alone again at night.
Chen Tuan was more careful and explained, "The waves were too big at the time, and Han Jingyuan was afraid of being exposed, so he didn't see or hear anything. We inferred this based on Shen Meijing's confession. She shouldn't have lied about this detail. Because Chen Wusheng's behavior is beyond our expectations, we asked you about the situation at the time. Xiao Su, are you ready to tell us?"
“Convenience is convenience.”
Su Ying was helpless, looking at Han Jingyuan, hesitant to speak, "I'm just afraid that my jealous person will be unhappy."
vinegar concentrate……
Several leaders turned their gazes meaningfully to Han Jingyuan. They didn't know what was going on and thought that Han Jingyuan had found someone else to get married and have a baby with. They didn't expect that in just over two months, he had already learned to be jealous.
Chen Tuan tried to save face for Han Jingyuan, "It's normal for a young couple. Old Liao is still jealous of his wife's ex-boyfriend's family..."
Han Jingyuan's ears were already red, but he remained frank. Being jealous was not a shameful thing.
Besides, he also wanted to know what Chen Wusheng said that day that made Su Ying, who would never get angry unless pushed into a corner, so angry that he wanted to drown him.
"I'm fine." Han Jingyuan said, "You talk to the leaders."
…
Su Ying looked around at several leaders and felt that it was actually no big deal. Even if Chen Wusheng recovered his memory, she was not afraid.
She said, "Chen Wusheng seemed to have changed his personality at that time. The way he looked at me was not right, as if he was determined to win. The seawater backflow almost choked him to death, but he still expressed his feelings to me and thanked me for saving his life..."
Han Jingyuan could almost guess what was going to be said next, and his palms gradually clenched.
"Should I repay your life-saving grace with my own body?" Commander Qi asked in disbelief.
Judging from the investigation of Chen Wusheng's life, he is indeed a bit paranoid. Once he makes up his mind about something, it is difficult for him to give up. For example, when Shen Meijing's mother tried to break up the couple, and he knew that his fiancée was engaged and later married, he still held on in the northwest and managed to hold on for five years before leaving.
Su Ying nodded, "That's what he said. I thought it was funny at first. If everyone was asking for a favor in return, who would dare to save someone? I said I have a husband and children, and I don't need his repayment."
"And what did he say?"
"He said that even if we get married, we can still get divorced. Han Jingyuan can help me raise the child, so can he. I thought it was very funny, so I asked him why I should do this. He said..."
Seeing that Han Jingyuan could no longer suppress his desire to kill Chen Wusheng, Xu Yuezhou said anxiously, "Comrade Xiao Su, just finish what you are saying in one breath."
Su Ying licked her lower lip. "It's not a nice thing to say. Do you really want me to say it?"
Several leaders were so anxious that they gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, "You said, there are only five of us here. No matter what you say, it will never be spread to the sixth person."
Han Jingyuan had a bad feeling again, and seeing the attitude of his leaders, he had no choice but to say something.
Riding a tiger, he gritted his teeth and said, "Speak in one breath, don't pause."
Seeing that they were so eager to know the truth, Su Ying had no choice but to tell Chen Wusheng what had shocked her at the time.
"After I refuted, Chen Wusheng laughed so hard that he deserved a slap. He said, 'Everyone in the farm, the base, and the family compound knows that your husband is frigid. How can you tolerate it at such a young age? I am different. Although Youyou is my son, it also proves that there is nothing wrong with my body. It is better than you and Han Jingyuan being widowed. Why don't you consider it again?' Yes, just this paragraph, I have a good memory, and I remembered every word correctly."
Although everyone had heard the rumor that Han Jingyuan was sexually frigid, no one among his leaders and colleagues took it seriously.
Besides Han Jingyuan being so angry that his face turned pale, if time could go back to the beach, Han Jingyuan would definitely drown that bastard with his own hands.
Commander Qi suppressed his laughter and asked, "So, you were so angry that you dragged Chen Wusheng for a few meters and pushed him into the sea. This motive makes sense..."
Su Ying interrupted Commander Qi and added, "Commander, you underestimated me too much. I will not only teach him a lesson physically, but also torture him mentally. I said, 'I know whether Han Jingyuan is frigid or not. Why do you think I sleep until the sun rises every day and let several children get up early in the morning to make breakfast? It's because I can't get up at all. Do you have such good physical strength? If you don't have it, just jump back into the sea and drown. You still want to compete with Han Jingyuan in physical work. With your small body, are you worthy of it?"
"After that, I didn't give him a chance to refute and pushed him into the sea. But I timed it so that he wouldn't really drown. Tell me, shouldn't I teach him a lesson?"
The office was silent. The empty teacup in Xu Yuezhou's hand fell to the ground. He quickly closed his jaw in shock while bending down to pick up the teacup.
Commander Qi looked away as if nothing had happened, too embarrassed to look the girl in the eye again. Even though he was already quite old, his old face was nothing in front of the girl.
No wonder, apart from the grumblings in private, no one in the family compound confronted Su Ying head-on. She crushed them in all aspects, including physical strength, mental strength, and face.
The most shameless person in the whole family compound was actually frank to the point where he couldn't even save his old face.
Fortunately, this is one of ours, otherwise who could be her opponent, Commander Qi sighed in his heart.
Chen Jinhong turned around and faced the white wall. He rested his head on his arms, his shoulders shaking violently, and he couldn't suppress his laughter. However, his laughter was suppressed by sobs. His body was shaking like a sieve. After a while, he turned around and gave Han Jingyuan a thumbs up.
Han Jingyuan's face turned red, but fortunately he was used to it. On the contrary, the anger that made him want to beat Chen Wusheng's secondary personality was calmed down.
He coughed lightly a few times and said, "Okay, the leaders all know it, so there's no need to describe it again."
Su Ying muttered, "You asked me to say it."
…
Now everyone finally understood why Su Ying kept it secret that day.
Xu Yuezhou increasingly felt that Su Ying was capable of taking on this non-staff special service mission.
Then he said, "Comrade Xiao Su, the intelligence you analyzed last night was very timely, but now the situation has changed. We have tentatively determined that Chen Wusheng has a secondary personality. His secondary personality has reached a deal with Cui Xingdong. After finding out the cards in Shen Meijing's hand, he plans to take you overseas with him."
"We don't know when Chen Wusheng's secondary personality will come out. Our opinion is that you should not take any risks for the time being. Leave the rest to our comrades."
Su Ying thought that Chen Wusheng was too troublesome. Troublesome things had to be resolved quickly. And no one could be faster than her in finding out what cards Shen Meijing had.
Once she finds out the truth, maybe she can ask Han Jingyuan and others to set up a trap to catch Cui Xingdong in one fell swoop.
She immediately expressed her opinion, "Leader, please let me participate. I am actually quite capable."
In order to prove his strength, dispel the concerns of his leaders and seize the opportunity to make merit, Su Ying picked up the darts on the table and nailed the flies flying around the room to the wall one by one. One dart even rubbed Xu Yuezhou's cheek.
Looking at the seven or eight flies nailed to death on the wall, Xu Yuezhou swallowed. When he was investigating Su Ying's life, he knew that she had practiced this skill in the restaurant kitchen. It was quite shocking to watch it in person.
Even if Han Jingyuan was unwilling, Xu Yuezhou wanted to fight for it. He said, "Well, if you can beat Han Jingyuan, I will let you participate."
Han Jingyuan: ...The political commissar’s move is too cruel. Can he really hit his wife?
Su Ying shook her head, "Han Jingyuan is giving in to me. It's meaningless even if he wins. Let's change someone else."
Commander Qi was afraid that if he really came to blows, Su Ying, the seemingly delicate girl, would be hurt, so he found a tall and strong young guard who had just joined the army for a year. Before he had the chance to privately warn the young guard not to take it seriously, Su Ying shook her head again.
"What happened again?" The leaders were puzzled.
Su Ying said, "My mother trained me as a special police officer since I was young, and I am very strong, which is obvious to everyone. There should be two more comrades who have no actual combat experience, otherwise it would be unfair to win and my ability would not be reflected."
Leaders: …
Five minutes later, three tall and strong guards were helped back to the dormitory to rub the medicinal wine. Several leaders patted Han Jingyuan on the shoulder in turn.
Master Qi: "Your wife is actually quite nice."
Xu Yuezhou: "Really, it's great. Remember not to upset your wife."
Chen Tuan patted Han Jingyuan's arm with pity, "Take care..."
Su Ying was a little puzzled and asked Han Jingyuan, "Do you think your leader is praising me or scolding me?"
Han Jingyuan looked at her with a complicated expression: "Neither, they probably think I'm too lucky, and they envy and hate me..."
After a busy night, Su Ying was ready to go back to sleep before dawn, so she asked, "Do you want to go back to sleep?"
Han Jingyuan's expression became more complicated. "Let's wait until night time. We will discuss the physical strength issue. You should go back and rest your spirit first."
…
While it was still dark, Su Ying climbed over the wall of her own courtyard, tiptoed into the main hall, and looked at the two rooms in the east wing. The four children were still sleeping.
It was only an hour before dawn, and taking a shower would definitely disturb the children, so she changed her clothes and lay down for a nap. When dawn broke, Han Jingchen had already gotten up to wash clothes and make breakfast.
The children had a clear division of labor among the housework. Su Ying estimated that breakfast was ready, so she got up and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower, and came out just in time for breakfast.
Han Jingchen was shocked when he saw the light bruises under Su Ying's eyes. "Second Aunt, did you steal last night? You look like you didn't sleep all night."
Su Ying knocked him and said, "You must be having a nightmare. You guys go to school later and I'll catch up on some sleep."
"As expected, you have nightmares when your second uncle is not around. You are such a coward."
Su Ying thought that she had the nightmare because Han Jing was away from her.
After breakfast, Su Ying sent the children to the door and was about to take a nap when Su Xinyi saw that the gate of her house was open. He ran over and saw that Su Ying was listless. He smiled and asked, "Shen Meijing was tossing and turning all night. Did she disturb you and prevent you from sleeping well?"
In fact, with Qiao Lanlan's family in between, the quarrel would be limited. However, Su Ying came back late from reporting work last night and didn't know what happened in the family compound. She asked, "What happened to Shen Meijing?"
"I sneaked out last night and squatted in the corner of Chen Wusheng's house. When I heard Chen Wusheng calling Hao Chunying by her nickname, I lost all my dignity and started a quarrel at the educated youth camp. I even called the police station."
At three o'clock in the morning, Xu Fenyue received a notice and ran to the police station to pick her up. Shen Meijing made a fuss until the morning and just went to bed. It was breakfast time in the family compound, so who wouldn't talk about it?
"Shen Meijing no longer cares about the child and doesn't go to class. She just asks when Congyan will be back. From her attitude, it seems that she doesn't want to wait even a day and wants to get a divorce today. I was the one who sent Youyou to school this morning."
Su Ying waved her hand and called Su Xinyi home. She and Su Xinyi had confessed everything to each other. Su Xinyi knew that she came from another world, and this matter was related to the sacrifice of Su Xun, so there was nothing to hide from her.
The two were in the main room, and Su Ying lowered her voice and said, "Actually, I was in the attic of Chen Wusheng's dormitory last night. I left after everyone dispersed. I was assigned a task by my leader to find out a confidential matter from Shen Meijing. It was related to the sacrifice of Su Xun."
Su Ying roughly recounted Su Xun's speculations before his death six years ago, including the information they had exchanged their lives for.
"Cui Xingdong has already been in contact. I can use my special powers to get the key information directly from Shen Meijing's mind, but after getting it, how can I tell Han Jingyuan's leader?"
Unable to find a reason, Su Ying herself was in trouble.
Su Xinyi's heart tightened. The original body's elder brother was now her elder brother. Such important information would be dangerous if delayed for one more day.
But this would not expose Su Ying.
Su Xinyi looked solemn. After thinking for a long time, he came up with a solution. "My grandfather passed down a recipe that nobles used to interrogate servants in the past. After drinking it, the person would be confused and would answer any question. Afterwards, they would think they had a nightmare. I'll give you the recipe. If the leaders want to verify it, they won't be afraid of being exposed."
Su Ying said: "We have such a good thing, can't we just use it?"
Su Xinyi explained, "It doesn't work for people with stronger willpower. I heard from my grandfather that when the nobles interrogated their servants, they would first torture them to death until they had a mental breakdown, and then force this medicine into their mouths. It would work five out of ten times. Now they don't use torture to extract confessions, so this recipe is basically useless."
Su Xinyi had never tried it either, so if you really asked, it was a reasonable reason.
Su Ying didn't even bother to catch up on her sleep. She ran like a whirlwind to buy the Chinese medicinal herbs and went to several hospitals. When she came back, she boiled the medicine, collected the dregs, and poured the soup into the sewer.
Su Xinyi brought Su Ying home. In the bedroom, Shen Meijing frowned and sobbed from time to time, with traces of tears on her face.
Su Xinyi snorted coldly, "Xu Fenyue has something wrong with her. She doesn't dare to get along with me. She ran away early in the morning. Shen Meijing was so noisy that she didn't fall asleep until the morning. She won't wake up for a while. I'll keep watch for you. You start now. Don't let my brother and Han Jingyuan's brother die in vain."
Su Ying activated her special ability and entered Shen Meijing's deep subconscious. She resisted fiercely, but Su Ying was not afraid of her. She decided to erase her memory after she woke up.
That short and thrilling memory was hidden in the deepest part of her subconscious mind, and Su Ying saw it.
…
When Han Jingyuan returned home in the evening, the children had already eaten, taken a bath, and were reviewing their homework in their rooms. Han Jingyuan thought that Su Ying had a way. She had taught the four children well in just over two months. He was probably the least worrying parent in the entire family compound.
On the dining table in the main room, under the mosquito and ant-proof gauze, was food reserved for him, two portions.
There is no light in the bedroom. Is Su Ying not at home?
Gu Cancan was worried and ran out and said, "Dad, can you go and wake up Mom to eat?"
"Is mom out today?"
Han Xinxing was holding onto the door frame, wanting to go in but not wanting to disturb them. "I don't know. My brother has prepared dinner, and Mom said she just wanted to sleep. She might be too tired. You should go and check on her. It's best to let Mom eat before going to bed."
Han Jingyuan asked the two girls to go back to the house. He turned the doorknob, which was not locked, and quietly pushed the door open. He walked to the edge of the bed in the dark when his trouser leg was grabbed by Su Ying, who was sleeping on the pillow.
Her voice was lazy and tired. "You're back."
Han Jingyuan felt a little distressed and a little angry. She was a non-staff member and was more active than anyone else. How could she have exhausted herself to this extent?
"Didn't I tell you to rest at home? Where did you go this afternoon?"
Su Ying felt a big hand rubbing her waist. She suddenly remembered Han Jingyuan's meaningful words when they parted in the morning, telling her to keep her spirits up and prepare to discuss the issue of physical strength in the evening...
She was completely awake and sat up with a start, not even bothering to turn on the light. "Wait, I have something serious to report to you. I got the bottom of the matter from Shen Meijing."
