The two leaders' expressions changed, and Commander Zhu immediately ordered: "Deputy Commander Lu, you will lead your men to arrest him immediately. Be discreet and don't alert anyone."
"yes."
Lu Jingchuan already had a guess and said to Gong Linglong, "Linglong, lead the way for us. Go to the place where we chopped wood the day before yesterday and wait for me. I'll bring people over right away."
With her leading the way, they quickly reached the outside of the small valley. Lu Jingchuan made a few unique gestures, and the elite team he brought immediately dispersed and surrounded them.
"Linglong, hide here and don't move. Wait for us to come out."
After Lu Jingchuan arranged everything for her, he rushed into the forest like a leopard in the blink of an eye and his figure soon disappeared.
Seeing his agile movements, Gong Linglong's pupils shrank slightly, and she murmured softly, "No wonder they circled Jing's name in red. It seems he has a special status and is not an ordinary soldier."
Soon gunshots were heard, but only twice, and the capture operation in the valley was over.
All four people were escorted out. The gatekeeper was shot in the leg and was bleeding. The mouths of the four people were stuffed with cloth.
All the things in the two wooden houses were searched and taken away, and the important documents were placed in Lu Jingchuan's hands. Seeing that they had finished their work, Gong Linglong immediately appeared and followed their team back the same way.
Lu Jingchuan had the four enemy spies escorted away first. He dropped her off near the family compound. "Linglong, I have to interrogate them at noon. I won't be back for lunch. Tell Mom."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
Gong Linglong didn't delay him and reached out to push him away.
Lu Jingchuan smiled at her, his eyes glancing at her neck, and whispered in her ear, "Wife, put on your scarf before you go out."
Gong Linglong was stunned for a moment. When she reacted, Lu Jingchuan had already walked away. She immediately tightened her collar and grinned at his back for a long time.
When she returned home, lunch was already cooked. Bai Shuixian approached and asked quietly, "Have you caught everyone?"
"He's been caught and taken away for questioning."
Bai Shuixian nodded and immediately brought the food to the table. She said to her, "Linglong, you must be extra careful when entering the mountains and going out. You must always be alert. It's not necessarily safe near the troops."
After what happened today, Gong Linglong was very sure that the enemy spies had infiltrated very deeply, and had even planted people inside the army. There were probably even more people in other units outside. Maybe there were people constantly monitoring the area around the family compound. In the future, she would have to be more cautious when entering and leaving the space, and pay special attention when talking to people.
Both mother and daughter are smart people. They never mentioned what happened that morning again. When others asked them about it, they just said they were looking for wild vegetables in the back mountain.
After dinner, the mother and daughter cooked pig food in the space, prepared the fish pond, and then went to the river together to fish and set up the fish cage.
Newbies do have a bit of an aura. Gong Linglong sat by the river for two hours and caught a dozen fish, big and small. Except for the crucian carp, she put the others in the space.
When the mother and daughter returned with the wooden bucket, Yu Ximei, who lived next door, was collecting clothes. She said to them, "Linglong, the art troupe issued another punishment notice this afternoon. I don't know what kind of conflict Xu Wei had with a colleague, but she's been fined 20 yuan in compensation, and her ideological education period has been extended to two weeks."
"Are they usually very arrogant in the art troupe?"
Gong Linglong brought Meng Xiaoying along when she was questioning them. She could see that the two of them were in cahoots and probably both had some background.
"Meng Xiaoying usually performs well and is highly regarded by the troupe's leadership. Everyone in the art troupe is very supportive of her. However, judging by her attitude yesterday, I think her good performance was all superficial."
The family compound does not have much contact with the art troupe. The military wives are basically from rural areas. The people in the art troupe think they are noble and will greet each other politely when they meet. In fact, they look down on the military wives who behave rudely behind their backs.
Yu Ximei didn't interact much with them, but she did hear the man talk about Meng Xiaoying. He told her, "Meng Xiaoying was spoiled and pampered by her parents. Her parents are well-known figures in Seoul, and all her relatives are cadres. She also has a cousin who works in the logistics department of the army."
"With such a family background, no one in the art troupe dared to offend her. Most of them flattered her, to the point where she became a little too proud of herself."
To put it bluntly, she was very arrogant in the art troupe.
Gong Linglong thought about her family background and the verbal confrontation in the morning. Given Meng Xiaoying's completely unreflective nature, there would definitely be more confrontations in the future.
But she was not afraid at all. No matter how powerful her parents were, they could not reach the army.
Of course, if they forcefully interfere with the internal management of the army, they will definitely be the ones who die miserably in the end.
After returning to the house, Bai Shuixian privately warned her: "Linglong, there's a saying that goes, it's easy to provoke the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little ghosts. Now that she has a grudge against Meng Xiaoying, she will definitely not let it go. In the future, you must be more careful when interacting with her, and be on guard against her family's behind-the-scenes trouble."
"Mom, I know."
Gong Linglong never looks down on anyone, especially women with extreme personalities and small minds. She and Meng Xiaoying have a deep grudge against each other, and she can guess with her toes that the other party will definitely find a chance to retaliate.
However, she certainly wouldn't dare to move in the near future.
When it was time for dinner, the other battalion commanders had all returned to eat, but Lu Jingchuan had not. Gong Linglong did not eat with her mother in advance. The mother and daughter took hoes and re-tidied the vegetable field that had been turned over a few days ago, planning to plant seeds in a few days.
It was almost dark and Lu Jingchuan had not returned yet, but Political Commissar Zhao's family next door had already finished their meal.
Yu Ximei said to the mother and daughter, "Linglong, my husband didn't come back on time today. I guess he had something to do. You should eat quickly. You don't have to wait for Deputy Captain Lu. Just leave some food for him on the stove."
"He must have gone out for something." Gong Linglong guessed that he was dealing with something that happened in the morning.
"If they come back for dinner, they are usually on time. If they don't come back, it means they are busy with other things."
"Sometimes they suddenly leave for work, and they'll be gone for ten days, half a month, or even several months. They won't even come back to pack their luggage, nor will they send a message home."
"You just got married to Deputy Commander Lu and just came to the family compound with the army. He probably hasn't told you yet. You'll get used to it after a while."
The military profession is special, and obeying orders is their duty. Sometimes the missions carried out outdoors are confidential, and family members should not ask too many questions, just need to silently support them.
The moment Gong Linglong chose to be a military dependent, she was prepared and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I understand. Thank you."
"What's there to thank me for? We all got here this way." Yu Ximei smiled.
