He looked too much like a ghost and didn't recognize him.
"Where is his daughter?" Wang Meng asked again.
The subordinates assumed they were asking about Liu Cuicui, since she had been arrested along with Song Wanying the day before.
He said, "I've signed up to go to the countryside. My train leaves this afternoon."
"Stop them first, and wait for my instructions later."
"Yes, Director."
After finding out what had happened, Wang Meng hurriedly returned to his office and recounted the events to the mysterious man.
Unsurprisingly, I got a scolding.
"You just said that Su Zhichen got divorced before he was demoted?"
"yes."
"Go and arrange for his wife to be sent to the same place as him, and obtain the prescription through her. If this doesn't work out this time..."
There was a cold snort on the other end, and the call was disconnected.
When the beeping sound came, Wang Meng breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly called for someone to bring Song Wanying back.
Wang Meng didn't know who the mysterious person on the phone was, but he had evidence in the man's hands of the crime of abusing his two wives to death and framing the previous director of the street office, so Wang Meng had no choice but to do his bidding.
Half an hour later, Song Wanying was brought into Wang Meng's office.
Her eyes were lifeless, her hair was disheveled, her body was filthy, and her clothes were stained with blood; she looked truly pitiful.
Wang Meng's brows were so furrowed they could trap a fly. It wasn't that he felt sorry for Song Wanying; he was just worried that she might have gone mad.
He took out a handkerchief to cover his nose, then stuck out a finger and poked it in a relatively clean spot.
"Song Wanying, Song Wanying, do you still recognize me? I'm Wang Meng."
Suddenly, his dull eyes burst forth with an astonishing light.
Song Wanying gripped Wang Meng's arm tightly: "Save my daughter! Save my daughter!"
Wang Meng thought she was referring to Su Wantang, but Song Wanying was actually referring to Liu Cuicui. However, due to her subordinate's negligence, the matter was settled by mistake.
“The application to go to the countryside has already been submitted, and I don’t have that much power, but I can arrange a good place for your daughter.”
"Shengli Brigade, Changping County, Beijing".
"Okay, but you have to promise me one thing."
"Okay, I'll agree to anything."
Later, when his subordinate went to report to the educated youth office, he noticed the name "Liu Cuicui," which was neither her father's surname, Su, nor her mother's surname, Song. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, but adhering to the principle of "it's better to do less trouble than more trouble," he didn't report it to his superiors.
......
In the morning, a group of educated youth who had been sent to the countryside were being transported to Beijing. Liu Cuicui happened to be on the train and was directly put on board.
Therefore, she missed the meeting with Song Wanying and thus received far less information.
After getting off the train, Liu Cuicui didn't look for the brigade secretary who was there to pick her up; instead, she ran straight to the military compound.
When she reached the entrance, she was stopped by the guards.
Who is it?
"I am Lu Huai'an's cousin."
"Nonsense."
"Political Commissar Lu's wife has only one daughter, who is Battalion Commander Lu's biological mother."
The guard's eyes immediately turned hostile.
He mistook Liu Cuicui for the kind of crazy woman who would falsely accuse her relatives, and scolded her, "Leave now, or I'll arrest you."
Seeing that the guard didn't believe her, Liu Cuicui became anxious.
She didn't want to go to the countryside as an educated youth; she wanted to be a military officer's wife, not dig in the dirt.
She shouted, "I'm not lying! Lu Huai'an married my cousin, so I'm his older cousin!"
Lu Huai'an and Su Wantang's marriage was sudden; apart from a few close relatives, no one in the compound knew about it.
Therefore, the guards were even more convinced that Liu Cuicui was crazy.
Everyone knew that Battalion Commander Lu was a well-known eligible bachelor in the compound. Families with daughters of similar age were all waiting to become Mrs. Lu, but unfortunately, Battalion Commander Lu was heartless and rejected them all.
Therefore, the guards acted decisively, arrested Liu Cuicui, and prepared to send her to the Public Security Bureau for further processing.
Why are you arresting me?
"Let me go! I really am Lu Huai'an's wife's cousin!"
Just as the guard was about to cover Liu Cuicui's mouth because he found her noisy, Gu Huai, who happened to have overheard her after get off work, stopped him.
He said to the guard, "It's true. That kid from Huai'an did just get married. She might really be the cousin of the girl from Huai'an."
In her past life, Liu Cuicui had suffered at the hands of the Gu sisters and had also met Gu Huai once or twice.
Seeing that he was helping her, she immediately hid behind him.
"Instructor Gu, believe me, I really am Su Wantang's cousin."
How did she know I was the instructor? And that my surname was Gu? Did Lu Huai'an tell her?
Su Wantang? That seems to be the name of Lu Huai'an's wife.
Gu Huai suppressed his doubts and pondered for a moment before saying, "How about this, you register her name first, and I'll take her to see Old Master Lu."
"Instructor, should I call and ask Grandpa Lu?"
Gu Huai wanted to get information out of Liu Cuicui, so he said, "No need to trouble yourself, I'm going that way anyway."
"just in case--"
"I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."
With Gu Huai's words, the guards didn't say anything more, had Liu Cuicui register, and let her in.
On the way, Gu Huai casually tried to get information out of her.
“Cousin, you’re from Huai’an. Your cousin is so lucky. She married the most desirable man in the compound. I don’t know how many girls envy her.”
What's the point of being envious?
Marrying her would mean living a life of widowhood.
Lu Huai'an likes your eldest daughter, Gu Nanzhi.
Liu Cuicui couldn't possibly be brainless to say these things in front of Gu Nanzhi's father.
She then added, "Yes, I came here to stay with my cousin."
"Seek refuge?"
"Yes, my cousin Wantang and I happened to marry men in the same military region. It's not safe for me to be alone out there, so I was thinking of going to join Wantang and her husband in the military."
Gu Huai frowned: "You cousins have a very good relationship?"
Liu Cuicui replied without any hesitation, "Of course, we grew up together."
But those words successfully made Gu Huai set his sights on her.
If they were close, how could they not know that Lu Huai'an and his wife had boarded the train back to the army around noon?
Gu Huai suddenly realized that he shouldn't have rashly intervened in this matter because of his frustration that morning.
However, the two had already arrived at the Lu family's door while they were talking.
Gu Huai could only watch helplessly as Liu Cuicui barged into the courtyard.
He reluctantly followed him inside.
Lu Yuanyang also went to work, so now only Lu Zhentian and Aunt Wang are left at the Lu family home.
After listening to Gu Huai's explanation and glancing at Liu Cuicui, who was treating the place like her own home and taking everything she wanted, Lu Zhentian frowned.
Wan Tang, how could she have such a cousin?
That's unlikely.
Just in case, Lu Zhentian still didn't kick the person out directly.
He went to the place where the landline was installed in his house and made a phone call.
