Director Tian came over to apologize. Lu Jingchuan had invited him into the study to discuss something. He was not a person who could not distinguish right from wrong. The Tian couple could withstand the investigation and political review. They were dedicated and rigorous in their work and should not be implicated by Aunt Jiao and Chen Ying, so he took the opportunity to give him some advice.
After Director Tian understood the hidden meaning in his words, a chill ran down his spine even in the hot summer. After talking with him in detail, he immediately got up and went back to cooperate with the troops' operations.
When he returned home, Tian's father had come back and Aunt Jiao was throwing a tantrum and cursing.
Director Tian was too lazy to argue with them and ordered coldly, "I'll give you one more day. You must leave before 8 a.m. the day after tomorrow. If you fail to do so, I will notify the security department to ask you to leave."
Aunt Jiao was the most agitated when she was kicked out. She yelled at him at the top of her lungs, cursing that he was heartless and that she had worked like a slave in the Tian family, and that even if she had no merit, she had worked hard. In short, she was trying to elevate herself and belittle the Tian family in every way possible.
Neither Tian's father nor his son paid any attention to her. Tian's daughter-in-law came back and argued with her all night long. Since she was disrespectful to the elderly, she did not give her any face and told everyone else about her behavior at home over the years. She talked for an entire night, causing a great uproar among the neighbors in the East District Family Compound.
Aunt Jiao was making a scene in front, but Chen Ying didn't interfere with her. Instead, he found an opportunity to go out and contact someone while there was a lot of commotion outside.
Director Tian had been paying attention to her, and when he saw her leave, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Tian family incident caused quite a stir, and many people from the southern family compound went to watch the excitement. Gong Linglong and the others did not go, as they were preparing dinner at home.
The main dish for tonight is a stewed fish, and the staples are sauerkraut and meat filling and leek and egg pies. Bai Shuixian fried a full basket of pancakes, which were so delicious that Han Ji came to steal some of them several times.
Gong Linglong finished six pancakes in one breath and drank two large bowls of fish soup. Before the meal, Hu Zi exchanged a roasted sweet potato with her for the pancake, and she also finished the roasted sweet potato. After stuffing all the food into her stomach, she finally felt full.
"Linglong, you ate too much. I feel something is wrong. Let's go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."
It was a good thing that she could eat while pregnant, but Lu Jingchuan felt that she ate too much, which was a bit abnormal, so he had to go to the hospital for a check-up to feel at ease.
Gong Linglong also felt that she had eaten too much. She said, "I went to the hospital for a checkup a week ago. The doctor said that my baby and I are both healthy. There are also cases of pregnant women eating too much."
"Let's go and take a look on Sunday when you have a day off." Lu Jingchuan was worried.
"All right."
Gong Linglong nodded in response.
Han Ji and his friends stayed at the military district's internal guesthouse at night. After dinner there, Lu Jingchuan accompanied them to check in. Gong Linglong also accompanied them, and they took a walk to digest the food after dinner.
Just after coming out of the guesthouse, a young soldier hurried over and reported the new situation to Lu Jingchuan in a low voice.
"Linglong, I have something to do. You and your junior sister can go back slowly." Lu Jingchuan gave her a subtle wink.
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
With Director Tian's push, Chen Ying had no choice but to take action, completely unaware that a net had already been cast over her head.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, a figure appeared in the moonlight behind the utility room of the pig farm. He lit a small candle and groped along the wall. Just as he got the note left by Chen Ying, a cold gun was pointed at the back of his head.
When Lu Jingchuan returned home, Gong Linglong had just woken up from her nap. The light was on and she was making milk in the room.
"Linglong, are you hungry?"
Lu Jingchuan strode into the room, closed the door gently, and took the spoon to stir it for her.
"My stomach is growling again."
Gong Linglong touched her flat stomach, her delicate brows furrowed. "Brother Jing, I ate so much tonight, and I'm hungry again at this time. It's really strange."
"Mom and the doctor both said that the fetus is very stable and there shouldn't be any major problems. It might be that you are pregnant with a little one with a big appetite." Lu Jingchuan was a little worried in his heart, but he comforted her with his words.
Gong Linglong sighed, picked up the egg cake beside her and started eating. As she ate, she asked, "Brother Jing, is everything going well?"
"Smoothly, the contact person was caught."
Lu Jingchuan had just captured the man and interrogated him with Commander Zhu and the others. His expression was not good. He whispered to her, "The head of the Ordnance Management Office has been a rebel for many years and has leaked many secrets to the outside world. He is an accomplice of the group captured in the mountains last time. The map shows the location of a secret military research institute."
Gong Linglong frowned and asked hurriedly, "Chen Ying just arrived here not long ago. How did she get in touch with the other party?"
"This Chen Ying isn't Aunt Jiao's cousin Chen Ying at all. Aunt Jiao hasn't had any contact with Chen Ying's family in years. She doesn't even know what Chen Ying looks like when she grows up. She has no idea she's a fake. This one was carefully nurtured on the other side of the island, and they took this opportunity to place her in the army."
Gong Linglong didn't expect this to happen. She had always thought Aunt Jiao and Chen Ying were bribed and instigated to rebel. She asked again, "When will Chen Ying be arrested?"
"She's still somewhat useful."
The man who was caught at night knew that his end was coming. In order to protect his parents, wife, and children, he confessed everything and was willing to cooperate with them in setting a trap.
What happened next was definitely confidential, so Gong Linglong didn't ask any more questions. She only asked, "Do you still need my help?"
"It's hard to say now. If necessary, I will tell you."
Lu Jingchuan had never seen his wife's special abilities, but he had a vague guess that if they asked her for help with some things, they would be able to get things done more smoothly.
"Linglong, if you use that special ability, will it hurt you and the child?" Lu Jingchuan was a little worried about this.
"Won't."
Gong Linglong assured him and said with a faint smile: "No one and no dangerous objects can hurt me."
Lu Jingchuan understood what was going on. "Chen Ying should be taking action soon. I'll be watching over him personally. If I need any help, you can lend me a hand."
"OK."
Gong Linglong nodded, leaned forward, and pressed a lipstick mark on his chin, her eyes smiling: "Go take a shower and rest."
Lu Jingchuan reached out and hugged her. Now that she was pregnant, he could only suppress all the thoughts in his mind. His eyes were dim. "Drink the milk and go to bed. I'll come to sleep after I take a shower."
"Go wash quickly." Gong Linglong pushed him.
After he went to take a shower, she picked a sweet and juicy pear from the space and ate it, then drank a large glass of milk. After her stomach calmed down, she lay back on the bed to rest.
Lu Jingchuan had been busy traveling outside recently and didn't get enough rest when he came back. He fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
The couple slept well all night, and after opening their eyes and getting up, they each got busy.
