"Your smugness won't last long. The organization will avenge us. News of the destroyed warship has already spread. Just wait, the battle is about to begin, and your peaceful days are coming to an end..."
Granny Wang thought the crowd would panic, but before she could finish speaking, an older woman next to her took off her cloth shoe and slapped her across the face.
“I’ll teach you to be foul-mouthed and to spout nonsense. Our People’s Liberation Army soldiers are invincible. You enemy agents are all paper tigers. All your conspiracies and tricks will be crushed.”
Out of humanitarian concern, a soldier pulled the old woman away, but Wang had already been hit several times, and her face was covered in rotten fruit and shoe prints.
The other family members nearby cheered for the woman and praised her for her good smoking skills.
This angered Granny Wang, who said fiercely, "Do you think what I said is all lies? The warship blueprints were burned by us long ago, and even the warships you are developing have had their structures destroyed by our people. Don't even think about building them in a year or two."
"If you don't believe me, just ask Comrade Yu Yao. Her father is an engineer at the shipyard, and her husband is a regimental commander. They must know very well."
The old woman spoke with great conviction, which caused a stir among the crowd.
The family members were worried and kept asking Yu Yao if it was true or not.
They weren't worried about their own safety, but rather about the warship being destroyed, and their men being in danger if a real war broke out.
Because Yu Yao and her child were also involved in this matter, she knew more about it than others.
This involves military secrets, so it's not something she could decide on her own.
Yu Yao glanced at Chief of Staff Liu, who was in charge of the public trial, and only after receiving his approval did she step forward to confront Wang the sorceress.
Her clear and powerful voice cut through the commotion caused by Granny Wang.
"You're wrong. The warship blueprints weren't burned, and the warship wasn't destroyed. Just last night, the new warship successfully completed its sea trials."
The veins on Granny Wang's neck bulged, and the iron chains scraped against the ground with a grating sound: "Impossible! I burned the blueprints myself, and I watched the warships being destroyed with my own eyes..."
Yu Yao looked at her coldly: "The blueprints you burned were backups, and the warships you saw were what we wanted you to see. The real warships and blueprints have long been protected. Your conspiracy will not succeed."
Granny Wang didn't believe it. "Impossible, you must be trying to fool me."
"Whether you believe it or not is not up to you." Yu Yao looked at Granny Wang and said firmly, "As long as the enemy dares to provoke us, the comrades of the island troops will make them regret it."
At this moment, Chief of Staff Liu stepped forward and made the final decision: "Comrade Yu Yao is right, so the families don't need to worry. They should trust the army and our soldiers. They will use guns and warships to drive away the invading wolves and protect the peace and tranquility of the island."
The cheers of the crowd stood in stark contrast to the dejection of the Yudi agents after their failed plot.
After the public trial, Wang Shenpo and her gang were all arrested, and Qin Lamei, as an accomplice, was naturally implicated as well.
Although she didn't know the true identities of Wang Shenpo and the others, she almost caused a serious mistake and was sentenced to a year in prison.
The organization approved her divorce from Deputy Regiment Commander Ning, but Ning Hongjun did not.
However, given Qin Lamei's behavior, she could no longer stay in the family compound. Ning Hongjun was unwilling to divorce her and instead applied for a transfer to civilian work, planning to take Qin Lamei back to their hometown once she was released.
Wang Xiu assisted enemy agents in burning down the family compound to take advantage of the chaos. After being arrested, she refused to cooperate, which was a serious offense, and she was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
As for Wang Shenpo and her gang of stubborn enemy agents, in addition to this enemy operation, other sabotage activities have been discovered. They will be punished for multiple crimes and will suffer the same fate as Mo Ruqing and Xu Ruqin.
That evening, An'an and Ningning were hungry again, and Yu Yao fed the children, which was still very difficult for her.
Just as she got up to get some hot water to temporarily soothe herself, Lu Ze returned.
As soon as Lu Ze entered the room, he saw Yu Yao looking distressed and guessed what was wrong. He walked over, his deep eyes extremely dark.
"Mom just told me, I'll help you."
