Suddenly, she thought of something and shook Lu Huai'an up.
"Have you submitted the whistleblower letter and the photo?"
Lu Huai'an retorted, "Isn't this supposed to be a surprise attack? Are we handing it in today?"
"Then are you still going to sleep?" Su Wantang decisively took matters into her own hands, pinching the soft flesh of Lu Huai'an's waist, and said irritably.
Lu Huai'an let out a muffled sound, and, feeling utterly confused, he didn't say anything more.
"Does it hurt that much?" Su Wantang muttered, letting go of the blanket and getting dressed.
After she finished dressing, she looked at Lu Huai'an, who was still lying in bed, and her brows furrowed deeply.
"Can't pay it back?"
"I can't get up."
His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a suppressed desire.
Su Wantang immediately understood what was going on, and she was completely flustered.
She was wearing thermal underwear!
“We’ll split up. I’ll deal with Liu Cuicui and Song Wanying. You can go to the military base to take care of your business later. We’ll meet at the gate of the new military compound.”
After speaking quickly, Su Wantang slipped away, closed the door, and left.
The moment the door closed, she vaguely heard a low growl of release.
Su Wantang jolted awake and shrugged.
Huai'an, this person is clearly physically capable, yet...
After carefully recalling the details of that night, Su Wantang came to an unbelievable conclusion.
"Sister-in-law, you've arrived."
Su Wantang was thinking seriously and didn't quite react when Yue Tao called her.
"Huh?" She quickly came to her senses and handed him the medicinal herbs she was holding. "Go and decoct these herbs."
Su Wantang entered the house.
Liu Cuicui was still asleep, and a smile was on her lips, whether she was having a sweet dream or not.
Su Wantang sneered, opened her silver needle pouch, and deliberately inserted needles into the acupoints on the person's body that were painful. After a while, Liu Cuicui, who had been pricked like a hedgehog, opened her eyes and began to writhe in agony, her face contorted like a maggot.
Considering Liu Cuicui's still-healing gunshot wound, Su Wantang didn't torture her for too long before removing the needles.
Liu Cuicui was panting, large beads of cold sweat rolling down her forehead, her wide eyes filled with hatred.
"Stop glaring, save your energy, you'll see Huo Jun in a bit."
Liu Cuicui's eyes darted around, somewhat disbelieving Su Wantang's words, but the ruthlessness in her eyes faded a little.
Su Wantang didn't care about any of that and continued talking to herself.
"Do you know who fired that shot?"
Liu Cuicui's pupils contracted sharply, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart.
Sure enough, the next second, Su Wantang said.
"It's Huo Jun."
Liu Cuicui rolled her eyes, and Su Wantang smiled: "Liu Cuicui, I thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be such a fool. Huo Jun got engaged to the deputy political commissar's daughter today, and you still believe he has feelings for you?"
Liu Cuicui's lips moved, but no sound came out. From her indignant face, Su Wantang could roughly guess what she was thinking. She was probably saying that Su Wantang was jealous of her and talking nonsense.
"After you take the medicine, you'll be able to speak again. I'll take you to meet Song Wanying and give you an invitation. Remember to show up at the lunch banquet."
"By the way, don't do it too early. Otherwise, if someone sees you, tell me, between you and the deputy political commissar's daughter, who will Huo Jun choose?"
"I forgot to mention, Huo Jun is not a peasant. He is the son of Chief Huo's younger brother and the only male in the Huo family."
Liu Cuicui was terrified.
"Sister-in-law, the medicine is ready."
Su Wantang took the medicine and said with a smile, "Cousin, it's time to take your medicine."
...
For some reason, Huo Jun's right eyelid kept twitching early in the morning, which made him feel uneasy.
Although the Huo family's family recognition banquet and engagement banquet were held together, they were not extravagant; they simply added a few more tables in the courtyard.
Huo Jun walked to the gate of the compound as if possessed, and spoke seriously to the guard at the gate.
"There are too many people and too many eyes today. No outsiders without invitations are allowed in. If any problems arise, I will hold you accountable."
In the new military compound, if you were to ask what the most exciting and talked-about event has been recently, it would undoubtedly be the story of Huo Jun, a country bumpkin, suddenly becoming the heir of the Huo family.
Almost everyone in the compound knows Huo Jun.
"It's Battalion Commander Huo." The guard raised his hand in a military salute.
Seeing this, Huo Jun felt a little relieved.
He turned and went back into the courtyard.
Little did they know that Huo Zhan had seen all of this, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
About two hours later, Su Wantang arrived near the new military compound, where Lu Huai'an was already waiting.
"Huai'an." Su Wantang jogged over in two steps.
Lu Huai'an came over and said, "Slow down."
Knowing what Su Wantang wanted to ask, Lu Huai'an took the initiative to say, "My cousin Huai Dong has already agreed to help. He will let us know as soon as we receive news from them."
"Everything else... is fine."
Su Wantang smiled and took Lu Huai'an's arm: "Let's go in."
The two had just finished registering and were about to go inside when they were stopped by the guard.
"There's a celebration in the compound today, and security is tight. Please show your invitations, comrades."
"You didn't bring an invitation?" Su Wantang poked Lu Huai'an.
“I saw that you took it with you when you left home.”
She did bring it; it was the letter Sun Qian gave her, but wasn't that meant for Liu Cuicui and Song Wanying?
But you can't leave that letter at home untouched!
Su Wantang inwardly groaned, staring at Lu Huai'an for a while before asking again, "Don't you know anyone in this compound?"
Before Lu Huai'an could speak, a male voice came from in front.
"Xiao Wang, they are my friends, please let them in."
"Brother Huo Zhan," Wang Bin called out.
With Huo Zhan speaking up, Wang Bin no longer stopped Su Wantang and Lu Huai'an.
