Two days later.
Lu Xiangdong confirmed the list of people going to Datang Town, a total of three people.
Among them was a military doctor and two teachers from the military compound.
They were quietly sent to Datang Town.
The mission is to find out the spies hidden in Datang Town and completely put an end to their ongoing conspiracy plans.
Su Wantang drove to pick up Lu Xiangdong as usual. On the third day when the three comrades went to Datang Town, Su Wantang received a letter from home.
It was sent from Qin's Pharmacy.
On the way to Lu Xiangdong's office, Su Wantang opened the letter and immediately frowned.
Then he quickened his pace and rushed to Lu Xiangdong's office.
At this time, there were several leaders discussing things in Lu Xiangdong's office.
Su Wantang was so nervous that he forgot to knock on the door and just pushed it open.
When she saw the leader of an office, she was stunned at first.
Lu Xiangdong's eyes met Su Wantang's for a moment, and he signaled the other leaders to suspend the discussion.
He walked closer to Su Wantang and asked softly, "Comrade Su, what's wrong with you? You're so anxious."
Su Wantang did not hesitate at all and said directly: "Report to Commander Lu, something happened at home, I need to ask for leave to go home!"
Lu Xiangdong asked in confusion: "What happened?"
Su Wantang handed the crumpled letter in her hand to Lu Xiangdong, and then gathered her emotions.
She said in a crying voice: "Master Lu, I just received a letter from my brother Qin Baojie, saying that my grandfather is suddenly seriously ill and unconscious. I must go back to see him..."
Lu Xiangdong looked at the contents of the letter, pondered for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Comrade Su, I remember your hometown is in Datang Town."
Hearing the word Datang Town, everyone else in the office looked at Su Wantang with different expressions.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Su Wantang raised his eyes and asked with clear eyes: "Yes, Commander Lu, what happened to Datang Town?"
Lu Xiangdong sighed softly and said with some embarrassment: "Datang Town has been in turmoil recently. Since you have joined the army, it is better not to go back during this special period."
Su Wantang pressed on: "Why is Datang Town not peaceful?"
After looking at each other, the other leaders hurriedly stopped Lu Xiangdong from continuing to reveal more information about Datang Town to Su Wantang.
The army's political commissar Chu Xiong spoke. He was about the same age as Lu Xiangdong. He stepped forward and avoided Su Wantang's sight.
He shook his head gently at Lu Xiangdong and said, "Old Lu, it's just that something happened to the little girl and she needs to go home to visit her family. Why are you so nervous?"
Seeing this, the others also echoed, "Master Lu, this little girl is crying so pitifully, just give her a few days off."
"Yes, if you have trouble finding a driver to take your place, I can lend you my driver for a few days."
After hearing what these people said, Su Wantang cried even louder and more aggrievedly: "Master Lu, I only have this one grandfather. Please give me a few days off. I'm really... worried about him..."
Lu Xiangdong pretended to hesitate, walked around the desk several times, and then agreed: "I am not unreasonable, it's just that now..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Xiong winked at Lu Xiangdong again.
Lu Xiangdong had no choice but to say, "Forget it, stop crying. I'll give you a week's leave!"
As he spoke, Lu Xiangdong looked at Su Wantang and asked pointedly, "One week, is that enough?"
Su Wantang stopped crying immediately, with a barely perceptible firmness in her eyes, she nodded and said, "That's enough, thank you, Master Lu!"
Lu Xiangdong immediately approved her leave application. Su Wantang took the leave application, thanked other people in the office, and then quickly left the office.
As soon as she left the office, Su Wantang raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then tore up the letter in her hand and threw it into the trash can.
She didn't dare to delay for a moment, so she hurried out and asked someone to take her to the bus station.
Caught the last bus to Datang Town.
After the meeting in Lu Xiangdong's office ended, everyone dispersed.
Two people quickly returned to the military compound and came to a deserted place.
The man asked in a low voice: "Do you think this Su Wantang is suspicious?"
Another person asked back, "You mean, you think she was someone Lu Xiangdong arranged to return to Datang Town?"
The man nodded: "It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go! Otherwise, it will ruin everything."
The other person frowned slightly: "She is just a country girl. She saved Lu Xiangdong's life and had the opportunity to join the army. She doesn't have that ability..."
The man said sternly: "Better safe than sorry. Send someone to quietly follow her back to Datang Town and keep an eye on her at all times. Remember, don't let her find out!"
…
It was already past six o'clock when Su Wantang arrived at Datang Town by bus.
She got out of the car and went straight to Qin's pharmacy.
Along the way, Su Wantang discovered that the doors of many pharmacies were closed, which was a bit unusual.
Just when she arrived at the Qin's pharmacy with doubts, she became even more confused. It was only what time and the pharmacy was already closed?
Su Wantang strode forward and knocked on the door.
Qin Baojie's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
Su Wantang was about to speak when she suddenly felt like there was someone behind her, so she turned around to look.
Behind him were people walking in groups of three or four.
Su Wantang collected his thoughts and responded, "Abao, it's me, open the door."
Qin Baojie heard Su Wantang's familiar voice and suddenly opened the door.
The moment he saw Su Wantang, his eyes became hot and tears welled up in his eyes.
He held Su Wantang's hand tightly and choked up, "Sister, sister... why are you back?"
Su Wantang quickly pushed the door open and closed it. The first thing she asked was Qin Baojie, "Why did Grandpa suddenly get sick?"
Qin Baojie looked shocked.
I was just about to ask Su Wantang how she knew that Qin Weiguo was sick.
Su Wantang quickly covered his mouth, then shook her head at him, signaling him not to speak.
Then, Su Wantang turned his head and looked towards the closed door.
Sure enough, as soon as the door closed, a figure appeared outside the pharmacy.
When Qin Baojie saw this scene, he looked at Su Wantang in surprise and suspicion, his eyes full of confusion.
Su Wantang winked at Qin Baojie, and then said, "Abao, as soon as I received the letter you wrote to me, I rushed back immediately. Where is grandpa now?"
Qin Baojie had never written a letter to Su Wantang. He was wondering how Su Wantang knew that Qin Weiguo was ill?
But none of this matters right now.
What’s important is that Qin Weiguo was really sick, and his illness was very strange and serious.
Qin Baojie couldn't jump any longer and cried loudly, "Sister, Grandpa is lying in the room. He is very ill. Wuuwuwu... You should go and see him!"
Su Wantang's heart sank suddenly.
That letter was part of her and Lu Xiangdong's plan and was fake.
But I never expected that Qin Weiguo was actually sick?
