end

Although these are just Meng Cheng's guesses, Ye Min thinks it is very likely.

When Ye Min saw the original extra-story content being repeated by others on the bullet screen, he felt a sense of disharmony.

According to the narration of Wang Hui's son, in the original novel, during the mission in May, Meng Cheng and Wang Hui discussed and decided that Meng Cheng would go in first to exchange the hostages, while delaying time to find an opportunity for the people outside, while Wang Hui was outside coordinating and arranging snipers, and the two were not together.

Only after the criminals were quickly killed did Meng Cheng open the door of the bus station from the inside and release the hostages. When Wang Hui went in to count the bodies, the two men closed the distance.

This part sounds fine, but the problem is that Meng Cheng was facing several spies carrying explosives alone, and he was able to cooperate with the sniper to kill them before they could react. How could he not be able to stop Tian Mengjun alone?

However, in the extra chapter, this story was told by Captain Wang’s son, and the content was vague. It was difficult for Ye Min to imagine the scene at that time, and it was also difficult to find anything wrong.

She believed whatever the comments said, and she didn't even find an excuse for the sense of disobedience in her heart.

For example, Tian Mengjun was so good at disguising himself that when Meng Cheng found out something was wrong with him, she had already completed a series of actions to ignite the fire; for another example, what he was wearing was actually a timed bomb, so he didn't need to ignite it, as long as he didn't expose himself before the timer ended, he could kill people by surprise; for another example, when Tian Mengjun was exposed, the sniper thought the mission was over and left the ambush position.

But she never suspected that there was something wrong with Wang Hui, because in the original book he also died in that mission.

Who could have thought that he, a military officer, would have a special relationship with the spy who caused the incident?

The more Ye Min thought about it, the angrier he got. He couldn't help but swear, "I saw the comments and thought that although he was unreliable in his family, he was a wise man in big things. But he turned out to be a bastard! He wants to drag you down with him even though he's dying!"

As early as when he discovered that Wang Hui and Tian Mengjun had an improper relationship and the latter was confirmed to be a spy, Meng Cheng knew that he might have died unjustly in the original novel.

He was angry at the time and wanted to beat Wang Hui up, but after a few days he had calmed down and now even had the mind to comfort Ye Min.

He held Ye Min in his arms, patted her back and said, "Okay, don't be angry. I've been fine all my life, haven't I? But Wang Hui, in the original novel, escaped being made and was given a reputation of having sacrificed a heroic death. He doesn't have such good luck in this life. Not only has he been ruined, he may even spend the rest of his life in prison."

"It's too easy for him to go to jail!" Ye Min said bitterly, "It's best for such a person to die!"

Meng Cheng, however, did not think so. He said, "In the original novel, he would rather die than be judged. This shows that he really values ​​his reputation. Living with such a bad name is the most tormenting thing for him."

Ye Min sneered: "He cares about his reputation but still has affairs with women?"

"Some people are like this. They value reputation but cannot control their greed. They also always have a lucky mentality, thinking that what they do will not be exposed."

Why was Tian Mengjun able to hook up with Wang Hui?

It was not because of how beautiful he was when he dressed up as a woman, nor how powerful his methods were, but because he pretended to be indifferent and even took the initiative to take Wang Hui to a deserted temple where few people went to avoid the risk of being discovered.

But many things in this world require a price, there is no such thing as true desirelessness.

No matter how angry Ye Min was, he only cursed a few words. No matter how the plot of the original novel developed, at least in reality, Wang Hui, Tian Mengjun and others got their comeuppance.

After calming down, Ye Min looked up and asked Meng Cheng: "Do you think we have succeeded?"

She didn't specify what success meant, but Meng Cheng knew she was talking about stopping the action in May, so he nodded and said, "It definitely counts. Tian Mengjun's accomplices have been arrested, and the explosives have been found. There shouldn't be any more accidents by then."

Ye Min leaned against his chest, closed her eyes and let out a long breath: "That's great."

…

Although there are no secrets in the family compound, it is easy for the army to suppress something.

Before all the people related to Tian Mengjun were arrested and gave their confessions, no one in the compound heard the news.

It's not quite accurate to say so. It's probably because no military wife in the compound heard the news. Even if the men were not involved, they could basically guess that Wang Hui was in big trouble based on the details.

But those who could become cadres in the army had good political qualities and knew what they could say and what they could not say, so no one went home to tell anyone until Chai Guihong and several children from the Wang family were taken away.

Chai Guihong and several children were taken away on the third day after Tian Mengjun was arrested.

Logically speaking, Chai Guihong and the children were most likely unaware of what Wang Hui was doing outside, but this matter was too big, and everyone who had any connection with it had to be taken away for questioning.

Therefore, except for the little girl who was born a year ago, everyone else in the Wang family had to be investigated.

They were taken away at night, not long after dinner. Many people in the compound were outside cooling off and saw what happened with their own eyes.

Being taken away by the army is no small matter. The last person who was taken away for investigation, He Ping, has returned to his hometown to farm.

The military wives were naturally curious when they saw what happened, and curiosity led to gossip. In order to avoid getting into trouble, those who guessed that Wang Hui was in big trouble had to tell their wives their guesses and ask them to be careful with their words and actions.

Therefore, the big news that Chai Guihong and several children were taken away did not cause any stir in the compound.

It was not until three days later that Chai Guihong was released.

Although she was taken away for interrogation, the person who interrogated Chai Guihong did not reveal the details, but repeatedly asked her whether she knew about Wang Hui's affair and whether she knew Tian Mengjun. Therefore, Chai Guihong did not know that Wang Hui was involved in the spy incident, and only thought that he was having an affair with a woman and alarmed the senior leaders of the army.

Chai Guihong was very angry, but she was not afraid and did not have many scruples. After returning home, she started cursing at the top of her lungs.

When the military wives around heard this, they also thought that the reason Chai Guihong was taken away was because Wang Hui had cheated on her, so they forgot about their husbands' instructions and went around gossiping with others without even waiting for the next day.

So the next day, everyone in the compound knew about Wang Hui's promiscuous relationships.

The next day when Ye Min went to work, even the nurses in the hospital were talking about this matter.

Ye Min did not join in the discussion, not because she did not like to speak ill of others behind their backs. She might not necessarily speak ill of others, but she was happy to speak ill of Wang Hui.

She was worried that she would get carried away by saying bad things to Wang Hui and accidentally blurt out something that could not be revealed for the time being.

However, Ye Min didn't say anything, and the news gradually leaked out.

First, it turned out that the person Wang Hui was having an affair with was a man dressed as a woman, then it turned out that Tian Mengjun herself was a spy, and then a group of spies who had been turned against him planned an action, but it was discovered in advance and the crisis was resolved.

When the last piece of news came out, not only had all the spies who had been turned against the government been caught, they had also confessed their crimes. Wang Hui had also been investigated over and over again, and the matter had been determined.

Because the spy group had not had time to act yet, and Wang Hui did not know Tian Mengjun's identity, he was not sentenced to death. However, he would definitely not be able to be a soldier, all his past honors were revoked, and he would probably have to spend the rest of his life in prison.

When she first learned that Wang Hui had cheated on her, Chai Guihong scolded him, but she never thought of leaving him. When she found out that the person he cheated on was a man dressed as a woman, she was so angry that she went to the hospital, but she only resented Wang Hui for not caring about her feelings, and still didn't think of divorce.

After he was sentenced to jail, Chai Guihong finally gave up and divorced him. She published an advertisement in the newspaper to let her five children sever ties with him, and then she returned to her hometown with her children.

All the military wives in the compound supported Chai Guihong's choice.

There were very few divorces in the 1970s, and most of the wives of soldiers in the military were conservative in their thinking. When the Women's Federation encountered couples quarreling during their work, they would generally persuade them to reconcile rather than separate.

But thinking about what happened in the military compound in the past six months, many military wives have changed their minds and feel that some men should be kicked out as soon as possible.

Not to mention the hypocritical behavior of He Ping, who wanted to divorce but was afraid of affecting his reputation, and instigated his family to plot against Wei Chunhua, the things that Wang Hui did were not something a person with a conscience would do, right?

Chai Guihong gave birth to her child last December, and she hasn't even finished breastfeeding yet, but Wang Hui caused this trouble.

No, according to what Wang Hui told him, he had been involved with that Tian Mengjun as early as when Chai Guihong was pregnant.

When he cheated on his wife, he didn't think about his pregnant wife and the children at home, and he ended up sending himself to prison. Why did Chai Guihong still cling to him?

It is not like decades ago when it was difficult for women to find a way out after divorce. But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has always been promoted that women can hold up half the sky, and even if they divorce men, women can survive.

Well, Chai Guihong has to raise five children alone, so her future life will not be easy, but no matter how difficult it is, it will not be as difficult as having a husband in prison.

In this case, divorce is the wisest choice.

…

Before Chai Guihong returned to her hometown, she brought her eldest son to visit Ye Min.

As the matter came to an end, she heard many details of the related events. She knew that it was Ye Min who discovered that Tian Mengjun had problems, and she also knew that it was Meng Cheng who discovered that Wang Hui and Tian Mengjun were having an affair.

When she first learned about these two things, Chai Guihong felt a little resentful towards Ye Min and his wife. She felt that if it weren't for them, this matter would not have been exposed and Wang Hui would not have to go to jail.

It's not that she was reluctant to see Wang Hui go to jail, but if Wang Hui didn't get into trouble, she would still be the battalion commander's wife, and she would worry every day about her husband not caring about anything, and her parents-in-law would find ways to get money from them. But apart from these little troubles, her life was stable and she was respected when she went out.

After Wang Hui went to jail, she became the wife of a criminal. Even if she divorced and went out, she would still be criticized. Moreover, she had no job, and it was impossible for anyone to arrange a job for her after returning to her hometown. She could only make a living by farming, and she could not support so many children.

Her future was visibly dark.

But Chai Guihong's eldest son persuaded her, saying that although it seemed that their family was ruined because of this incident, if Ye Min had not discovered that there was something wrong with Tian Mengjun, and Meng Cheng had not found out and tracked Tian Mengjun and caught those spies, allowing them to create trouble unknowingly, the situation they faced would definitely be worse.

If it really comes to that, Wang Hui will be shot for sure, and they don't have to expect to be able to draw a clear line between themselves and others. They may be responsible for a few or even dozens of lives, and being accused is a good thing.

Good fortune follows misfortune, and misfortune follows good fortune. On the surface, this incident is a disaster for their family, but if you think about it more deeply, it is actually a blessing.

In addition, no matter what the result is, it was all caused by Wang Hui and has nothing to do with outsiders.

Chai Guihong was persuaded by her son to come to Ye Min's house. She was a simple person and she revealed her true thoughts while talking.

Ye Min was a little surprised after hearing this.

Although Chai Guihong's eldest son appeared in the original novel, it can be seen from the incident of Wang Hui that the good people described in the original novel are not necessarily really good people.

Moreover, Chai Guihong's son has Wang Hui's blood flowing in his veins, and he was also a vested interest in Wang Hui's actions in his previous life. Even though he sounded like a wise man and that good things come out of bad bamboos, it was hard for her to sympathize with this young man who had to drop out of school and return home because of family changes, with an uncertain future.

Therefore, Ye Min did not comment much on Chai Guihong's eldest son. She just asked her to be careful on the way back home and live a good life in the future.

Facing Chai Guihong, Ye Min did not have the same disgust as he did with other members of the Wang family.

Because no matter in the previous life or this life, Chai Guihong was just a poor person deceived by Wang Hui and a real victim.

Seeing that Ye Min didn't want to talk more about her son, Chai Guihong felt a little disappointed.

Although Chai Guihong was a bit rough, she was not stupid enough to complain about her son in front of Ye Min. She said those words mainly to highlight her son and make him leave a good impression on her before leaving.

There is no other way. Wang Hui is in jail and may never get out in his lifetime. Even if he does, it will be useless. In his situation, he will only be a burden.

She couldn't rely on men, and she had not received much education. Although she had a job after joining the army, something happened to Wang Hui, and no one would arrange a job for her when she returned home. It would be difficult for her to support several children by farming alone.

The eldest son can help, but he will definitely not be able to continue his studies after returning to his hometown. He originally planned to join the army after graduating from high school, but now he has no hope of doing so as he is being held back by his father.

But he is so smart, it would be a shame for him to spend his whole life farming in the countryside.

Chai Guihong wanted to build more relationships with the neighbors in the compound before leaving, and have her son show off in front of them. After a few years when things had calmed down, she would see if she could contact these current neighbors and ask them to help find a job for her son.

So in the past few days, Chai Guihong not only visited Ye Min's home, but also the homes of her close neighbors. After hearing her say similar things, they would sigh for her son and praise him for being a sensible person. Some even said that if they had any difficulties when they returned home, they could write to them and they would definitely help if they could.

Although Chai Guihong thought about it later and felt that her son's words made sense, she couldn't help but feel that Ye Min owed her family. So she came to Ye Min, not to try her luck with other people, but to get a promise from Ye Min.

Who would have thought that Ye Min's reaction was completely different from the others. Not only did she not make any promise, she didn't even look at her son for a second.

Chai Guihong was unwilling to accept this, she covered her eyes and cried, "Doctor Ye, you don't know, I feel sad when I think about the fact that my eldest son won't be able to study or be a soldier in the future because of his father. It would be fine if the child was not a good person, but he is so sensible, but he can only farm at home in the future, wuwuwu..."

When Chai Guihong's eldest son heard his mother's crying, he suddenly looked embarrassed. He wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start.

Seeing him at a loss, Ye Min finally spoke up: "Everyone's future is predetermined. The child is capable and will have a chance to succeed in the future. You don't have to worry too much."

"But given his situation, how can he have a chance of making a breakthrough?" Chai Guihong wiped her tears and looked at Ye Min, hoping that she would tell the truth.

Ye Min understood what she meant, but didn't want to say it.

If Meng Cheng in the original novel had not died in the mission in early May, she would not have brought Meng Zheng and Li Wenxiu's daughter back to Jiangcheng, she would not have been killed by a drunk man on her way home from overtime, and Meng Zheng would not have dropped out of school due to financial difficulties and ended up in jail.

In the original novel, their family was so miserable, partly because of Li Wenxiu's child swapping, but Wang Hui probably also played a significant role.

Not taking revenge on the rest of the Wang family was her last bottom line, but Chai Guihong wanted her to lend a helping hand to the Wang family, which was impossible! She was not that saintly.

Therefore, Ye Min insisted: "As long as you have the ability, there will always be opportunities."

Chai Guihong completely understood what Ye Min meant, and her face became a little stiff: "I always thought you were a good person, but..." I didn't expect that after Wang Hui got into trouble, you would become so cold-blooded.

Before Chai Guihong could finish the second half of her sentence, her son interrupted her: "Mom! Let's go back."

Chai Guihong's eldest son dragged her to stand up while speaking, bowed to Ye Min and said, "I'm sorry, my mother is not very good at speaking, please forgive me." After that, he half-dragged and half-pulled her away.

When Meng Cheng came back in the evening, Ye Min mentioned this matter to him.

Although Tian Mengjun's matter has been settled, Meng Cheng is not idle at all. The garrison is going to hold a competition this year, and all regiments and battalions must participate.

The soldiers led by Meng Cheng have always competed for first place in various competitions held in the regiment. Their battalion is placed with high hopes in this on-site competition.

The same is true for him personally. In fact, leaders at the regiment and battalion levels rarely participate in such competitions. Not only because they are cadres, but also because most of those who can become battalion commanders are quite old and their physical strength has declined to some extent. They may not be able to beat those young people.

As leaders, they would be ashamed if they lost, and it would be their due if they won. It would be better for them not to participate.

But Meng Cheng is only 28 years old this year, his physical strength has not declined at all, and he is also well-known in the army for his ability to fight. Others can choose not to participate, but he cannot escape. So he has been very busy recently. Not only does he have to train harder at night, but he may not be able to rest on his weekends.

After hearing what Ye Min said, Meng Cheng frowned and said, "Don't worry about them. With what Wang Hui did, it's good enough that we don't add insult to injury. Anyway, we won't meet again in the future, so there's no need to care about what Chai Guihong said."

"I ignored her. It's just that when you told me that Tian Mengjun was arrested and the explosives were found, I didn't really feel anything."

Ye Min paused for a moment and said with some emotion, "It was not until the results of the handling of the case came out in the past few days, and those involved in this matter were sentenced or left, that I suddenly realized that the matter that had been weighing on my mind for so long has really come to an end, and you finally no longer have to worry about your life."

When those people were first caught, Meng Cheng didn't feel much reality in his heart. He was nervous for several days in early May, fearing that there would be some special mission.

Fortunately, half a month later, life is still calm.

Meng Cheng hugged Ye Min and said, "After the competition is over, I will talk to our leader about the career change. Our family will be fine in the future."

As early as when Tian Mengjun's matter was just settled, Meng Cheng mentioned the matter of changing careers to the team leader, but not only did their team leader not approve it, he also scolded him, and then signed him up for both individual and team projects, telling him not to think too much before he produced results.

Meng Cheng had no choice but to temporarily put aside the idea of ​​changing careers and wait until the competition was over.

Ye Min supported Meng Cheng's decision, but because the biggest crisis in his life had been resolved, she was not so anxious about changing careers, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
