The section chief in charge of these matters in the military was sitting in the commander's office at the moment, along with He Chaoyang, one of the parties involved in this incident.
It turned out that as soon as He Chaoyang returned, he reported Shen Hongmei's behavior and words to his superiors and asked the troops to step in and deal with the female comrade who had been harassing him, since he himself needed to avoid suspicion in this situation.
The military commander was also shocked by Shen Hongmei's idea. You have to understand that he had lived through that backward and ignorant society and he never had the idea of taking a second wife.
But how could such a young girl have such outdated ideas? In today's social environment, it's impossible to teach her to think like that, so it must be related to her family education.
You must understand that China had just overthrown three great mountains and the people had only just been liberated. The leaders who had experienced those hardships naturally abhorred that old ideology.
We absolutely cannot allow anyone to educate the next generation with such ideas, so we summoned the chief administrator and put him in charge of handling the matter.
Furthermore, it was clearly stated that a thorough investigation must be conducted, as this woman's thoughts are extremely dangerous, and if necessary, an investigation should be carried out at her home to see if similar thoughts exist within the family.
Most importantly, this woman's target was an outstanding young cadre in the army, so he had reason to suspect that this was a new type of sabotage tactic by enemy agents.
Upon hearing this, the clerk took it very seriously. Just as he was about to ask He Chaoyang for more details, his communications officer rushed over.
"Report! We just got a call from the sentry post saying a woman has collapsed at the main gate and has a persistent high fever. They're asking what to do."
The three people inside the room all understood who the woman the communicator was referring to was. The person they had just been ordered to investigate was now right at the front door, so they quickly stood up, said a word, and ran out to deal with it.
Shen Hongmei never dreamed that all she did was pursue a man, and suddenly she was suspected of being an enemy agent who was undermining the unity of the people?
She just wanted to ruin Chen Shuning's marriage. Does Chen Shuning represent the people?
Shen Hongmei, who was still arguing and refusing to take her injections or medicine unless she saw He Chaoyang in person, was not greeted by the man she had been longing for.
Instead, it was a middle-aged man with a very dignified and imposing appearance, and he brought news that shocked Shen Hongmei.
As soon as the steward entered, he saw Lai Xiaowang and the medic hiding far away, as well as Shen Hongmei crying and demanding to see He Chaoyang.
He nodded in satisfaction at the two soldiers, thinking to himself that these two lads were still somewhat vigilant, and that keeping their distance from this beautiful snake who was likely an enemy agent was the right thing to do.
Then she looked at Shen Hongmei sitting by the stove. Her eyes, still wet with tears, were as clear as lake water, serene and profound. Even the way she touched and wiped away her tears was full of elegance and gentleness. She certainly had the charm to seduce people.
After just one glance, the steward turned to the medic beside him and asked, "How is she? Has she been examined? Is she really sick or faking it? Is her life in danger?"
After all, they were not soldiers, but educated youth sent to the countryside, so even if an investigation and interrogation were to be conducted, it would need to be carried out jointly with the local government and the educated youth office.
So the first thing the clerk did upon arriving was to determine whether the woman in front of him was truly ill and, if so, how ill she was.
He was also afraid that if she really was sick, something bad might happen to her. According to the commander, this woman was likely an agent sent by an enemy intelligence group. If something happened to her, they might lose the clue to directly capture the enemy intelligence group.
Therefore, his first priority was naturally to ensure the safety of the woman in front of him.
The medic reported truthfully: "Reporting to the steward, we have examined him. It is likely a high fever caused by catching a cold. His temperature is 40 degrees Celsius. He has just taken antipyretics. As long as we keep an eye on his temperature and get him to the hospital as soon as possible, he will not be in any immediate danger."
Although the person who came was not He Chaoyang himself, judging from the situation, he must be a high-ranking official, and Shen Hongmei felt a sense of pride.
She knew it was wrong; they would never let an ordinary citizen like her get into trouble at the military base gate.
Look, the moment they heard I was sick, the officials came. It seems my guess was right. As long as I persist, He Chaoyang will be mine sooner or later.
Just as he was about to ask to see He Chaoyang again, the chief of staff said coldly, "We now suspect that you are an enemy agent sent to lure high-ranking officers of our army."
Our military has contacted comrades from the local government, the educated youth office, and the revolutionary committee, and is preparing to conduct a joint investigation into you.
The brief yet formal notification left Shen Hongmei completely dumbfounded, but that wasn't the worst part.
What's frightening is that this man didn't give her a chance to explain at all. After he finished speaking, he ordered the two People's Liberation Army soldiers behind him to lift her up and walk her to the car parked outside.
Standing on the office building watching Shen Hongmei being taken into the car, He Chaoyang's lips curled into a barely perceptible sneer.
How dare such a foolish woman try to outsmart me? She's really overestimating herself.
Not to mention his maternal grandfather, who was once a big capitalist, and his paternal grandfather, who was a high-ranking general in China, even his uncles, cousins, and his friends—weren't they all objects of women's scheming?
I've seen and heard countless examples of this since I was a child. Every single one of them is far more cunning than this stupid woman in front of me. If they were all so easily outmaneuvered, their homes would be overflowing with people, just like the harems of ancient emperors.
