survey

The rumor was false when reported to the army, but it was true when reported to Dean Yao Lin.

After all, they currently have no evidence to prove that Captain He plotted against Feng Aiyun, and if they report it hastily to the troops now, they will easily fall into the passive position.

I just reported this to the dean.

After Ye Min and Feng Aiyun arrived at the unit in the morning, they first went to the pavilion and the staircase entrance of the inpatient department. They were basically sure that they could see each other's movements between the two points.

Then they went to the registration window and asked their colleagues who were working on New Year's Day to ask about the two people.

Although New Year's Day is a holiday, it is also a rare day off. Many people come to the hospital for medical treatment. The colleagues at the registration window are so busy that they can't even raise their heads. Naturally, they can't remember whether the two people came to register, or when they came if they did.

After unsuccessful inquiries, Ye Min asked someone to help her and asked them to arrange fewer patients for her in the morning.

At that time, technology was not so advanced and registration was entirely done manually. Unless the patient made any request, it was basically up to the window colleagues to decide who to assign the patient to.

Of course, unless the superiors give instructions, they will not assign all patients to the same person. Correspondingly, they will not refuse to assign patients to a certain doctor without reason.

However, Ye Min’s request was not excessive, and the time was not long. They were all colleagues, so the window staff agreed without thinking too much.

So Ye Min was free in the morning. After Feng Aiyun's colleague from the pharmacy came over, she went directly to the dean's office to talk to Yao Lin about the rumors.

She was lucky that when she went to find Yao Lin, the head of the security team happened to be there. The two had just finished talking. After listening to her explanation of the situation, he also took it seriously and quickly decided to go with her to see the situation.

On the way, they went to find the person in charge of Qin Fang's department and the head nurse, and asked someone else to call the union leader.

They should have arrived earlier, but it took them several minutes to find someone. Fortunately, they were lucky enough to arrive in time when Qin Fang exposed Liu Mei and later revealed that she was involved in the whole incident.

Because these words were heard by Yao Lin and other hospital leaders, no matter how Qin Fang explained, she was taken to the security department.

The health care department is on the third floor behind the emergency department and the inpatient department. There are two ways to get to their location. One is to go around the back of the inpatient department, and the other is to go around the front and pass through the emergency department building.

But no matter which route you take, you have to pass through the open space between the emergency building and the office building.

Therefore, although Qin Fang had illusions and thought that as long as she insisted that she wanted to bring Feng Aiyun and Captain He together, she might be able to escape the disaster, she did not want to be noticed. After her defense failed, she was escorted to the Security Department. The journey was very quiet, but many of her colleagues in the inner row of rooms saw her being escorted.

Thinking of the rumors that spread in the morning about Feng Aiyun being plotted against, everyone's imaginations ran wild and the desire to discuss was instantly overwhelming.

Liu Mei, also known as Nurse Liu, was changing the patient's dressing in the inpatient department at the time, so she did not see Qin Fang being escorted to the security department.

But as soon as she returned to the nurse's station after changing the medicine, a familiar nurse came over and asked, "Hey, did you hear about it?"

"What?"

"Qin Fang, the nurse who was particularly close to Feng Aiyun was just taken away by the security department!"

Liu Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she held her breath and asked, "Why was she taken away by the security department?"

"Why else? It's because of what happened this morning."

"What happened this morning?"

"Haven't you heard about it?" The familiar nurse looked surprised. "As for the rumors about Feng Aiyun and Captain He, it's said that they were dating each other. It's most likely that Qin Fang did it."

"She?" Liu Mei rubbed her hands together, feeling nervous but also relieved. "How do you know it was her who did it?"

"She was taken away by the security department. Who else could it be if not her?"

"Maybe it's a misunderstanding."

"What misunderstanding? Didn't you hear what everyone said? Feng Aiyun reported this matter to the army. She has no shortage of evidence. If this matter has nothing to do with Qin Fang, how could she be taken away by the security department?" The familiar nurse said with a pout, "Qin Fang and Feng Aiyun are usually very good friends, but she hurt her behind her back. It's really hard to judge a person by his appearance!"

Liu Mei, however, could not be as indignant as she was. She was very nervous and murmured to herself, "What evidence does Feng Aiyun have?"

"It's evidence that Qin Fang bribed someone to spread the rumor. What else could it be?" The familiar nurse said what she had heard. "I heard that yesterday the Women's Federation was checking on the military wives who spread the rumor one by one, and it seems that they found the person who started it."

Liu Mei quickly asked, "Who started the rumor?"

"I don't know either, but I vaguely heard that they were not military wives," the familiar nurse recalled, "the two seemed to be here to see a doctor, and I guess they were bribed by Qin Fang."

Liu Mei was still nervous when she heard the first half of the sentence, but when she heard the name Qin Fang, she felt relieved and asked calmly, "They said they were bribed by Qin Fang?"

"How would I know this? But think about it, if Qin Fang didn't bribe them, where did Feng Aiyun get the evidence? And how could the people from the security department take Qin Fang away?" The familiar nurse said confidently, "It's such a simple thing, you will understand it once you think about it."

"Too."

Liu Mei murmured softly, and at the same time went over in her mind the entire process of bribing the two men that afternoon, to make sure that she did not reveal her name at the time.

He also thought that Qin Fang was taken away because Feng Aiyun had already begun to suspect her, and combined with the descriptions of those two people, he mistakenly thought that they were the two people she bribed.

While thinking, Liu Mei looked down at her clothes, then touched her hair and face. From the appearance, she did look a bit like Qin Fang.

Same long hair, same double eyelids, nose neither too high nor too low, mouth neither too thick nor too thin, even the face shape is similar, a bit round.

To the naked eye, no one would think they look alike, but the description is ambiguous and can easily confuse people.

And thinking back, the leather shoes she wore that day seemed to be one that Qin Fang also had.

The only question was whether the troops would call those two men over to identify them.

It shouldn't be that serious, right? It's not a big deal. Although Feng Aiyun yelled loudly and said that the matter had been reported to the army, the army obviously didn't take it seriously. Otherwise, the people who took Qin Fang away would not be from the security department.

The hospital security department...is not as powerful as the military.

As for whether Qin Fang would implicate her, Liu Mei was not too worried. She would definitely implicate her, but as long as she did not confront those two people, she could insist that she knew nothing about these things.

After thinking about it, Liu Mei was completely relieved and continued to work on her job.

Just as she expected, the people from the security department took Qin Fang away and appeared outside the nurses' station shortly after, and asked her to come over.

As colleagues around her were talking about it, Liu Mei looked confused and pointed at herself and asked, "Me? What do you want from me?"

Before the security department could speak, colleagues around them speculated, "It must be related to Qin Fang being taken away. Xiao Liu, you were not involved in this, were you?"

"I didn't! I don't know what happened!" Liu Mei denied loudly, "Yes, I did have an argument with Feng Aiyun before, but I learned my lesson at that time and knew I was wrong a long time ago. Why would I suddenly hurt her?"

Recalling their previous quarrel, colleagues who were suspicious of Liu Mei nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Xiao Liu still speaks ill of others and doesn't mention Feng Aiyun anymore."

"In fact, there isn't a big conflict between them. It shouldn't be to the extent of harming others behind their backs, right?"

Although many people believed that Liu Mei was innocent, the people from the Security Department ignored them and took her away in a tough manner.

After arriving at the Security Department, the person in charge of interrogating Liu Mei was the head of the Security Department. However, his interrogation ability was average, and Liu Mei's mentality was obviously better than Qin Fang's. She was not easily persuaded, and after almost half an hour of interrogation, no useful information was obtained.

Feng Aiyun, who was watching outside, was anxious and suggested to Yao Lin that he go in himself. Yao Lin was hesitant at first. After all, the relationship between the two was not good, and letting him in might backfire.

But Ye Min doesn't think so.

There is actually no conflict between Feng Aiyun and Liu Mei. They are not in the same department and have only been colleagues for a short time. How many times can they interact with each other?

The main reason between the two of them was that Liu Mei disliked Feng Aiyun.

Why did she dislike him? Maybe she also liked Zhai Mingqiu, but she never dared to say it, so she couldn't stand Feng Aiyun's boldness; or maybe she thought Feng Aiyun was too self-willed and couldn't stand her personality...

And all these things that we are not used to seeing, in the final analysis, can be summed up in two words: care.

Or jealousy.

People may be able to remain calm when facing irrelevant people, but jealousy will make people lose their sense of proportion and unable to think calmly, especially when the status of the two people is reversed.

Liu Mei harmed Feng Aiyun in order to get her into a whirlpool of public opinion, and even forced her to marry Captain He, a second marriage with four children.

But all her hard work was in vain. It was not known whether Feng Aiyun would be caught in a whirlpool of public opinion and unable to get out of it. However, she was facing the possibility of her scheme being exposed, or worse, she might lose her job and her reputation.

For people like Liu Mei, being in a worse situation than others is the most likely thing to make them mentally unbalanced.

Therefore, Ye Min felt that letting Feng Aiyun come forward to talk to Liu Mei might have a miraculous effect, but for the head of the security department, it would only be a waste of time to continue the review.

Ye Min convinced Yao Lin, so he went in and called out the section chief, and asked Feng Aiyun to go in and talk to Liu Mei.

When Feng Aiyun just walked in, Liu Mei didn't react at all. She just raised her eyelids, glanced at her, and then lowered her head, showing an attitude of refusal to cooperate.

Feng Aiyun was not in a hurry either. She sat opposite Liu Mei with her arms folded across her chest, looking at her coldly.

As he watched, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Hearing her laughter, Liu Mei couldn't help but raise her head and asked with frowning eyebrows: "What are you doing in here? I said, the rumors about you and that Captain He have nothing to do with me!"

Feng Aiyun answered the question irrelevantly: "You like Zhai Mingqiu, right?"

Liu Mei's expression suddenly changed: "What do you mean?"

"You scolded me before, saying that I was shameless to chase after Dr. Zhai. You were actually jealous of me, right?" Feng Aiyun rested her elbows on the table, crossed her fingers and rested her chin, looking at Liu Mei and saying word by word, "Because you like him, but you are afraid to tell her, so you are not used to me who dares to pursue him directly, and at the same time you are also afraid in your heart. You are afraid that he will like me, right?"

"Ha!" Liu Mei laughed exaggeratedly, "I'm jealous of you? What am I jealous of? Envious of your shamelessness, jealous of your lack of quality inspection, or jealous of Dr. Zhai being so scared of you that he walks around you?"

Feng Aiyun did not take her verbal attack seriously and said in a light tone, "Who knows? It's not surprising for someone as dark-minded as you to have any thoughts."

Liu Mei clenched her hands as if she was stung, but she finally let go, leaned back on the stool and said, "You don't have to provoke me here. I've said before, your rumors have nothing to do with me. I'll say the same thing to anyone who comes."

"You may have misunderstood. Now, in addition to Qin Fang, the two people you bribed also testified that you were involved in this matter..."

When Liu Mei heard Feng Aiyun mention those two people, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Before coming to the Security Department, she was indeed very nervous, worried that Feng Aiyun had found the two people she bribed. But through the interrogation just now, she was basically sure that the shadowy news Feng Aiyun released was just to scare people.

Come to think of it, those two people came to see the doctor with their families. They didn't go to the window to register, and she picked them randomly. She herself didn't even know their names or which brigade they were from.

How did Feng Aiyun get the ability to find out where they came from and find people to identify them in less than a day?

Noticing the expression on her face, Feng Aiyun paused for a moment and said, "Why, you don't believe I found those two people? Well, they were all here to see a doctor with their family members. They didn't go to the window to register, so it's a bit difficult to find them out of thin air."

If Liu Mei could remain calm just now, now she was completely panicked.

Her first reaction was impossible!

There are so many people coming to the hospital for treatment every day that trying to find them is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But I couldn't help but wonder, if she hadn't found them, how would Feng Aiyun know such details as they didn't register?

Liu Mei didn't know that Feng Aiyun's palms were sweating when she said this - she was deceiving Liu Mei.

After questioning Qin Fang and confirming that the rumor was spread by Liu Mei, Ye Min reviewed with her what happened on the afternoon of New Year's Day.

They checked the inpatient department's shift schedule and found that Liu Mei was working the day shift that day, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

On that day, Feng Aiyun, Qin Fang and Captain He all arrived at the family compound around three o'clock in the afternoon, while Li Taozi was the one they met at four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

Although Qin, He, and Liu may have set a trap long ago, and Liu Mei did not need to wait for them to return to the family compound to spread the rumor, but considering that the rumor involved the details of the clothes that Feng Aiyun picked for Captain He's daughter, Ye Min felt that one of Qin and He had met Liu Mei after they returned to the family compound.

Liu Mei couldn't start looking for a candidate too early because women were different from men. Men were more likely to have free time, but women were busy even on their days off and had to do housework, unless Liu Mei offered them generous benefits.

But what Liu Mei hired someone to do was something that was not allowed to be seen in public. The benefits were too great, and ordinary women would not dare to accept it. It was also very risky for her as she would be easily exposed.

So she could only find someone temporarily to make a big deal out of a small matter and not delay the matter for long. Only people with short-sightedness would easily agree to it.

The selection of this person was also very particular. He could not be a family member of a hospitalized patient, nor could he be a patient who had registered. The former would easily come into contact with her, and the latter would be easily detected and exposed.

After screening, Ye Min narrowed down the person to the woman who came to see the doctor with her family on New Year's Day afternoon.

Originally, Ye Min wanted to take this information and ask each department one by one, but Yao Lin did not agree. It was working hours now, and he did not want to affect everyone's work, so he only agreed to gather everyone during the lunch break to check the matter.

Ye Min and Feng Aiyun originally thought that it was almost eleven o'clock and one more hour wouldn't make a difference, but who knew that something went wrong in the Security Department.

During the interrogation, Liu Mei became calmer and calmer, and she obviously saw that they were just bluffing.

It would be great if we could ask about the two people's situation at noon based on the information provided by Ye Min, but what if no one remembers them?

Could they just go door to door with the list of patients who came to see the doctor that day?

Putting aside whether this is in accordance with the rules or not, there is not enough time. There are so many patients, and by the time they find those two people, it will be too late.

Feng Aiyun had no choice but to come in and take a gamble.

Fortunately, she made the right bet.

Seeing the barely perceptible panic in Liu Mei's eyes, Feng Aiyun said, "If one person points out you, you can say that it has nothing to do with you, but what if three people point out you? And when you were standing at the window on the second floor and signaling to the two military wives, are you sure no one noticed you? Even if no one noticed you, you should not have an alibi at the time, right?"

After hearing the second detail Feng Aiyun said, Liu Mei could no longer hold back and asked through gritted teeth, "What do you want?"

"Now it's not about what I want to do, it's about what you want to do. If you confess, you will be treated leniently; if you resist, you will be treated severely. The crime you committed is neither big nor small. If you are treated leniently, you may just be punished and asked to review your actions; if you are treated severely, you may lose your job and be demoted."

Liu Mei's eyebrows moved slightly, but she quickly became alert: "Are you so kind?" Then she remembered something and said suddenly, "In fact, you told me so much because you want me to drag Captain He into the water and avoid having anything to do with him, right?"

At the end, Liu Mei even laughed, but her smile was full of malice: "From Doctor Zhai to Battalion Commander He, you must feel bad, right?"

"After today, everyone will know that you and Qin Fang have schemed against me. Even if someone spreads rumors about me and Captain He, it will have little impact on me. My reputation has never been good anyway. With my uncle's support, I can still find someone who is as good as Doctor Zhai to marry. I can even go to Doctor Zhai and pretend to be pitiful. Do you think he will feel guilty when he knows that you harmed me for him?"

Liu Mei could no longer sit still and angrily yelled, "Feng Aiyun, you have no shame!"

The first time Liu Mei pointed her finger at him and called him shameless, Feng Aiyun was furious. But now, when she scolded him again, Feng Aiyun didn't even raise an eyebrow. She just said calmly, "Instead of being impotent and furious here, you might as well think about how to clear yourself of the charges. After all, the principal and the accomplice face completely different punishments."

After he finished speaking, Feng Aiyun stopped looking at Liu Mei and just stood up and left.

…

Although Liu Mei has confessed, the search for her is still ongoing.

It might be a rebound from hitting rock bottom. This time Feng Aiyun was lucky because a nurse remembered the person wearing the reception uniform and found her family based on the list of patients seen that day.

After confirming the names of the family members, Feng Aiyun's uncle Lu Wennian immediately arranged for someone to follow the medical information and find them, convincing them to agree to come forward to testify.

With the testimony of the person involved, it would be useless for Liu Mei to go back on her words later.

However, Liu Mei obviously believed the lies that Feng Aiyun told her. Not only did she not prepare to go back on her words, she also gave away Captain He.

The same goes for Qin Fang.

Based on the testimonies of the two people, we can basically piece together what happened.

The first person Captain He found was Liu Mei. He knew that she and Feng Aiyun were not on good terms, so he reached a consensus with her without much discussion.

But because of her discord with Feng Aiyun, Liu Mei could not find an opportunity to take action against Feng Aiyun until that day when she went to the locker room to change clothes. Standing at the door, she heard Feng Aiyun calling Qin Fang to accompany her to the county to make a phone call. The two also talked about which state-owned restaurant had good food.

After Liu Mei knew about this, she quickly told Captain He, and then he had an encounter with Feng Aiyun and Qin Fang at the county's state-owned hotel.

Shortly after that chance encounter, Battalion Commander He found Qin Fang and told her that he fell in love with Feng Aiyun at first sight and asked her to help bring them together. Qin Fang was moved by him, and that chance encounter at the department store in the city took place.

Of course, the process of Captain He and Qin Fang's conspiracy was narrated by the latter orally. In order to evade responsibility, she certainly could not tell the truth, and the authenticity of the story needs to be verified.

In addition, the rumor about Captain He and Feng Aiyun's first meeting was told by a military wife in the compound.

She knew this because her husband and Captain He were in the same regiment and they had a good relationship. So after Captain He got divorced, she was particularly concerned about his life.

Around the middle of last month, the couple invited Captain He to their home with the original intention of introducing him to a wife, but after getting drunk, Captain He confessed that he fell in love with Feng Aiyun at first sight, but because he felt inferior about his situation, he did not dare to hope to be with her, so he planned not to marry again.

After sobering up, Captain He realized that he had said the wrong thing, and specifically told the military wife and her husband not to spread the news.

As expected, the military wife did not tell anyone because she felt sorry for him. It was not until the news of their relationship spread overnight that she told anyone about it.

When the two pieces of news were compared, the military wife who heard the rumor felt that the two were destined to be together, so the rumor became more and more intense.

When Ye Min learned about this, her first reaction was that it was not good. She felt that things were developing as Meng Cheng had expected.

This is indeed the case.

After Qin Fang and Liu Mei confessed one after another, this matter was no longer an ordinary rumor. Moreover, because it involved a battalion commander, the military leaders could not pretend not to know and specially formed an investigation team to look into the matter.

The investigation team first went through the evidence, then found the person that Feng Aiyun and his team had not found, and then interrogated Qin Fang, Liu Mei and the two people who had been bribed.

Finally, they went to see Captain He again.

Because there is no clear evidence to prove that Captain He was involved in this matter, and he is a military officer, the conversation took place at He's home.

In order to prove his innocence, Captain He did not invite the person into the house, but discussed the matter with him directly in the yard.

Captain He half admitted and half denied the accusations made by Qin and Liu.

He denied Liu Mei's accusation, saying that he did not know her at all and had never conspired with her to plot against Feng Aiyun.

He admitted what Qin Fang said. He said that he went to the county that day to send a letter to his family, and he had the receipt for the letter in his hand.

As for going to that restaurant for dinner, it was because his son liked the braised pork there very much. He even packed up a portion of the braised pork that day. His children and the couple Ding Yang next door could testify to this.

So the investigation team asked several children of the He family, and after getting a definite answer, they found Ding Yang and his wife.

To be honest, Ding Yang and Qian Xiaoyun really didn't want to testify for Captain He.

Although they are neighbors and have a good relationship, they trust Ye Min and his wife and Feng Aiyun more. They also think that this time it was Captain He who plotted against Feng Aiyun, and they sympathize with her deeply.

But in front of the comrades of the investigation team, they dared not and could not lie, so they could only hold their noses and serve as witnesses for Captain He.

After questioning them, Captain He continued to explain the next steps.

He admitted that after the encounter in the state-owned hotel, he went to Qin Fang and told her that he fell in love at first sight with Feng Aiyun and asked her to help bring them together. Then they met in the department store.

Finally, he said earnestly: "I really did all this just because I had a crush on Comrade Feng, and I never thought that these things would cause her so much trouble... Maybe people in my situation shouldn't expect anything, and I am sorry to Comrade Feng."

At the end, he took off his military cap and bowed his head deeply.
