"I don't know, it just feels like such a coincidence?"
"Since Old Chen thinks there's a problem, let's investigate together. We'll find out if there's any connection by checking. If nothing's wrong, great; if there is, we'll deal with it together!"
“I think that’s a good idea. I’ll go to the military hospital and find Director Ding.”
Old Ma, go and report this to the higher-ups.
"Old Du, you stay home. We'll communicate promptly if anything comes up."
"yes"
No one expected things to get so complicated. It's just giving birth in a hospital, right? How could problems keep arising one after another?
Whether there is any connection between these events is uncertain, and no one can say for sure. We must investigate as quickly as possible. If there is someone behind this, then we can only say that they were incredibly unlucky to have been caught in the crossfire.
Just as Zhou Tao finished showering and urinating, he heard a knock on the door.
Who is it?
"It's me, Sister-in-law Zhou, Xiao Fang."
Zhou Tao was very puzzled. Didn't Xiao Fang leave with the leader? Why is he back so soon after leaving? Did he leave something at home? But that shouldn't be the case.
He quickly went to open the door and asked, "Xiao Fang, is something the matter?"
"Sister-in-law, something really has happened, and it's quite important?"
"Xiao Fang, could something have happened?"
"To be honest, something did happen."
"What is it? Xiao Fang, don't rush, tell me slowly!"
"Okay, here's what happened..."
Xiao Fang quickly recounted what she had heard at the hospital.
After hearing what Xiao Fang said, Zhou Tao immediately realized that the matter was not as it seemed on the surface. After all, she had participated in the revolution for more than ten years and had a certain sensitivity to some things. She said:
"Xiao Fang, I know what to do. Your sister-in-law Liu has finally fallen asleep, so there's no need to rush to talk to her now."
Besides, we have everything we need right after the New Year, so there's no need to rush out to buy anything. We can just keep the house closed for the next few days and relax. We'll have ribs together for lunch, and you come and start the fire for me!
"Okay, I'll help you right away."
Zhou Tao knew that there was no use in being anxious at this point. The enemy was in the shadows and would definitely not come out anytime soon. Even if they really wanted to do something, they would come over at night. It was better to ignore everything and just do what he needed to do!
Besides, since the higher-ups already know about this, it means there's nothing to worry about.
The two of them had been busy in the kitchen for almost half an hour when they heard "Wow! Wow! Wow!"
"You stay here and watch the fire. Simmer it on a low flame for another half hour. I'll go inside and check on it first," Zhou Tao said.
"Okay, don't worry, sister-in-law! I know what to do."
Zhou Tao quickly washed his hands and went into the inner room while wiping them. He was relieved to see that Liu Linjuan had already picked up the baby and was breastfeeding.
When Liu Linjuan saw Zhou Tao coming over, she asked, "Sister, I just heard that Xiao Fang is back. Is something wrong?"
“There is something I need to discuss. I’ll have Xiao Fang come over and talk to you after the baby finishes feeding!” Zhou Tao felt it was better for Xiao Fang to tell you.
Liu Linjuan suddenly realized that things seemed serious. Otherwise, why would Sister Zhou not tell her directly, but instead have Xiao Fang do it?
I was drinking my milk when I suddenly heard this, and I wondered to myself, what's going on?
We have to wait for the soldier to tell us. Can't you tell us first? I wonder if the little one wants to hear some gossip?
He quickly finished eating, and after changing his diaper, Aunt Zhou called Xiao Fang over and listened to his exact words.
I don't know what to say anymore, I can only say to God in my heart:
What the heck? They're just local country folk.
How could that political commissar grandfather tell that the female comrade was an enemy?
Moreover, to be able to determine that the other party is an enemy based on just a few words, he truly deserves to be called a veteran revolutionary. He can even tell from that. Impressive!
"Okay, I understand. I didn't think much of it when she was crying and begging last night, but now that I think about it, it is indeed quite suspicious. There was such a commotion last night, and she didn't say a word until her mother-in-law was taken away by the police. Now that I think about it, she was too calm! She doesn't seem like a country woman at all."
"Girl, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about her. But now that I think about it, when she was crying and begging you in the middle of the night last night, she sounded exactly like a country woman. Who would have thought that a peasant woman would say something like that? There's definitely something wrong with her!"
"Xiao Fang, we know about this. Go and tell the commander that he can rest assured here. There won't be any problems!"
"yes!"
"Wait, someone's coming."
Just as Liu Linjuan was about to say something more, she heard many people slowly approaching her yard.
This is also because he has practiced martial arts since childhood, making his hearing more sensitive than that of the average person.
Then there was a knock on the door.
"Xiao Fang, go open the door. Sister Zhou, go and bring the children over!"
"yes"
"Okay, I'll bring the children over right away!"
Zhou Tao wasn't surprised that Liu Linjuan could hear someone approaching, because she knew how formidable the other person was.
This surprised Xiao Fang! However, he didn't ask. Liu Linjuan's position and years of service in the revolution were far superior to his own. Moreover, when the leader sent him over, he was told that he had to listen to Liu Linjuan in everything and could not question her. So he didn't ask about what had just happened.
Also, although Liu Linjuan is younger than Zhou Tao, she holds a higher position, so Zhou Tao has to work hard to obey her orders in some matters.
What's going on? Have spies come to the door? I hadn't figured it out yet when I couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep.
Sigh! What can I do? I'm only a few days old! Nothing is more important than sleeping!
"Who is it?" Xiao Fang slowly approached the doorway, pulling out his gun.
"It's me, Qian Fugui."
"Platoon Leader, what brings you here?" He quickly put away his gun, opened the door, and said...
"Go inside and ask, is Comrade Liu Linjuan here?" Qian Fugui said.
"Yes, I just finished feeding the baby!"
"Okay, take me there to her!"
"Yes, sister-in-law, our platoon leader, Comrade Qian Fugui, has arrived!"
"Platoon Leader Qian is here! Hello, I'm Zhou Tao, and my wife is Shen Bowen!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Tao quickly went to greet him.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Qian Fugui had heard of this Chen family and was not surprised to see their lover.
"Platoon Leader Qian, this is Comrade Liu Linjuan!" Zhou Tao introduced Liu Linjuan, leading Platoon Leader Qian to her.
"Hello Dr. Liu, it's great to see you again!" Qian Fugui said.
"You two know each other?" Zhou Tao asked, puzzled.
"I know him. A year ago, I performed surgery on one of his soldiers. He went to ask about the patient's condition. Why is Platoon Leader Qian here today?" Liu Linjuan was very surprised and thought to ask.
Platoon Leader Qian knew that Liu Linjuan and the others didn't know some things, so he quickly told them about the tasks assigned by the commanders at the airport.
"That's how it is. Our regiment, led by Commander Ji, has a platoon of soldiers guarding several alleys nearby. You, Sister-in-law Zhou, and Xiao Fang with the children should stay at home. If you need to make any calls, Xiao Fang or Sister-in-law Zhou can come out. Our people are nearby and won't be too far away."
"Yes, we will obey the organization's arrangements!" Liu Linjuan said.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now!" Qian Fugui said.
"Xiao Fang, could you please go and deliver this to Platoon Leader Qian?"
"yes!"
"Mom, did something happen?" Shen Dong asked, seeing the serious look on everyone's faces.
"It's nothing serious, but someone wants to harm your little sister. A kidnapper is trying to steal her. So, you need to stay home with your younger siblings and don't go anywhere, understand?" Zhou Tao said.
"Okay, Mom, don't worry! I promise I'll stay home and play quietly with my younger siblings, we won't go out!" Shen Dong quickly assured her.
"Sweetie, go play in the yard!"
"good"
Minister Chen went to the military hospital, met with Dean Ding, and began redeploying resources to ensure that no enemy was missed.
Meanwhile, Political Commissar Ma was also reporting the situation to his superiors. The superiors then revised their plans based on this incident, using it as a starting point to launch a major purge of enemy agents both inside and outside the city.
The higher-ups had originally planned to conduct a city-wide cleanup, but hadn't found a suitable reason yet. Isn't this perfect? No need for excuses anymore; everything can be done at once! It's so easy, it's wonderful!
Apart from the obstetrics and gynecology department, all other departments at the hospital are operating normally and have not been affected by this incident.
Upon receiving orders from his superiors, Minister Chen conducted an emergency interrogation of the woman in the delivery room that very night. The woman's name was Qian Xiaocui. It was truly unexpected that she was an enemy leader. Despite being a woman, she was in charge of hundreds of enemies outside the city.
Their role is to infiltrate the common people, create chaos, and smear our Party. Moreover, this woman is even more ruthless; in order to get a better job, she is willing to marry an honest and simple man.
I never expected this. Just like that, pulling up a radish brought out a whole bunch of mud, and in three days, we captured over a thousand enemies.
Among these lovers, there was indeed one who had a relationship with Comrade Zhao Meilan, her betrothed sister-in-law Zhou Xiaoya.
According to Zhou Xiaoya's confession, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she went to the Zhao family to pay her respects.
Since there was nothing else to do, I invited Zhao Meilan's brother, Zhao Meizhi, to come to the hospital to visit Zhao Meilan. Seeing Meilan chatting with a nurse, I went over and asked:
"Meilan, what are you two talking about? You seem to be having a great time!"
"It's nothing, how did you get here?" Zhao Meilan saw her brother arrive with his fiancée and didn't really want to say anything.
Zhou Xiaoya knew Zhao Meilan was busy as soon as she saw her, so she made an excuse to send Zhao Meizhi away, saying, "Brother Zhi, I want to eat the fried dough twists from that place next to the hospital. Go buy some, and Meilan and I will chat!"
"Okay, you guys chat, I'll be right there, I'll be right back!"
Then she pulled Zhao Meilan to her office and sat her down, saying, "Meilan, what's wrong? If you're unhappy about something, just tell me. Let your sister-in-law listen. Maybe I can give you some advice, right?"
"Nothing, sister-in-law,"
"Why can't you say it in front of your sister-in-law? Do you have someone you like?"
"What are you saying, sister-in-law?" Zhao Meilan blushed instantly upon hearing this.
Seeing Zhao Meilan like this, Zhou Xiaoya understood perfectly well.
"Tell me quickly, what's there to be embarrassed about!"
Zhao Meilan is also at a loss now. She doesn't have many friends, and when something happens, there's no one else who can give her advice.
Zhou Xiaoya happens to be here right now, so it's fine to ask her, since she's my brother's future sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, what should I do if I fall in love with a married person?"
Zhou Xiaoya really didn't expect Zhao Meilan to ask such a question, but she wasn't exactly a person with sound moral values, so she could only tell Zhao Meilan based on her own understanding, saying, "It depends on what kind of person the other person is. If they're a good person, then try to win them over. If they're not a good person, then just forget about it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Meilan recounted how she fell in love with Li Zilong and also shared some information about his family.
Zhou Xiaoya never expected that Zhao Meilan would fall in love with a military officer, and one with a high rank at that.
As for the fact that the other party has a wife and children, I don't think it's that important.
In her view, once Zhao Meilan and Li Zilong achieved their goal, she could use Zhao Meilan to plant spies within the enemy ranks. This was a rare opportunity that she couldn't afford to miss.
