Because you might be my sister-in-law. He Yaqin replied in her heart that she was willful but reliable, and she would not reveal anything until the truth came out.

What if it's really just that people are similar?

"Because I think you are very beautiful." He Yaqin smiled and made up an excuse.

Zhan Xinyue shook her head, knowing that she didn't want to tell the truth, but she didn't force her and waved goodbye.

As soon as Zhan Xinyue and Xu Jinling arrived home, they began to pack their luggage. Summer clothes are simple, so Zhan Xinyue packed eight sets of clothes, four sets each for her and Sheng Tunan, as well as towels for washing face and bathing, toothbrushes and toothpaste, and bath slippers.

The total amount of stuff was not much, and could be packed into a suitcase. After packing, Zhan Xinyue and Xu Jinling sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air, and saw that the flower seedlings in the corner had grown new leaves.

"Aunt Xu, I'll give you the key to the iron gate. It's hot now and it hasn't rained for a long time. Can you help take care of my flowers and grass? Water them and drive away the insects, okay?"

Zhan Xinyue took out the key to the iron gate, and Xu Jinling took it: "No problem, it's a small matter. I'm good at growing vegetables and flowers, I promise to take good care of them for you."

"Thank you, Aunt Xu."

"Hey, what's the point of thanking each other?" Xu Jinling waved her hand, remembering that the prizes had not been distributed yet. Since she was free anyway, instead of saying some sad farewell words, she might as well finalize the distribution of the radios.

"Xinyue, do you want the radio?"

"No, Tuanan and I prefer to go for a walk or go fishing or read a book when we have a break. You can take the radio. He Yaqin said she has several radios at home. She doesn't need it." Zhan Xinyue said, if you want to buy something, just buy a TV. When you come back this time, go to the department store and buy another one.

"Okay. I like to listen to opera. So, the four of us will participate in the show together. The market price of the radio is 160 yuan. The four of us will split it into four parts. 80 yuan will be given to you and Director Sheng, and 40 yuan will be given to He Yaqin."

Zhan Xinyue waved her hands quickly: "Aunt Xu, you don't have to give me and Tunan money. If you like the radio, take it. I don't need it anyway. It's good enough to get the first place honor."

Sheng Tunan's future is now uncertain. Dongfang Xiaoqing, who had been crying and asking for recognition of her relatives a few days ago, immediately drew a clear line and treated herself as a stranger. However, Xu Jinling, who had no relatives with her, stood up to help them.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely assistance, but it is more precious.

Zhan Xinyue cherishes this friendship and would definitely not accept a mere 80 yuan.

"How can this work?" Xu Jinling said anxiously, "You have contributed the most to this program. It's not fair to split it equally. How can you not get paid?"

"Aunt Xu, I thank you for being so kind to us. If you and Yaqin hadn't stepped forward just now, Tunan and I wouldn't even have a change of clothes. It would be so uncomfortable without a change of clothes in such a hot day. You helped us under such pressure, I am very grateful, you can just take the radio and be at ease."

Zhan Xinyue didn't wait for Xu Jinling to refuse and continued, "If you feel bad, wait until Tuanan and I come back and treat us to a few good meals. If you insist on giving me, it means you don't consider me a friend."

At this point, Xu Jinling couldn't bear to insist any further, so she said, "Okay, when you come back, I'll kill the old hen to welcome you back."

"Okay." Zhan Xinyue nodded with a smile.

"Ding ding," a whistle sounded outside the courtyard gate.

Zhan Xinyue stood up with her luggage, and before she opened the gate, she saw Sheng Tunan walking in.

"Tuanan." Zhan Xinyue went forward to greet him.

Sheng Tunan took the luggage and nodded to Xu Jinling as a greeting, then shook Zhan Xiyue's hand and prepared to get in the car.

"Wait," a soldier got out of the car, "each of you will take a car."

Normally, suspects and their families should be separated because of concerns that they might collude with each other or escape together.

"No need," Zhu Haoran, who was sitting in the passenger seat, waved his hand, "Let them sit in my car together."

The soldiers were very surprised. Riding in the same car? This was a treatment that no other suspect had ever received before.

But he just obeyed without asking any questions and took Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan to get in the car.

The two got in the car. Zhan Xinyue stuck her head out of the window and waved to Xu Jinling with a smile: "Aunt Xu, I'll trouble you to take care of my flowers and plants."

"Okay. You must take good care of yourself." Xu Jinling waved her hand, holding back her tears.

Once I go, I don’t know when I will be able to come back.

The car quickly drove out of the military area, got on the ferry, and finally left Huanyu Island.

The military vehicle was of good quality and traveled at a constant speed without any bumps. Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan had not gotten enough rest these days because of the show. They felt a little dizzy after lunch and fell asleep leaning against each other.

Hearing the slow and even breathing in the back seat, Zhu Haoran, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and saw the couple sleeping soundly. He thought to himself, "At this time, they can still sleep. Either they are really wronged, or their psychological quality is too strong."

However, the latter usually pretended to be asleep to give people the illusion that they had a clear conscience. After all, people who became spies or enemy agents would not dare to sleep in the same compartment with PLA soldiers. In the minds of real spies and enemy agents, the PLA was their mortal enemy and would definitely kill them.

Zhu Haoran turned around, patted the driver gently, and signaled with his eyes to let him brake suddenly.

The driver was an old man who followed Zhu Haoran. He immediately understood what his leader meant and stepped on the emergency brake without slowing down.

"Ah, what's wrong?" Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue woke up from their sleep, opened their eyes and looked at the situation around them in a daze.

However, the next second, both of them perked up and took defensive stances.

Zhu Haoran coughed lightly and said, "It's okay. There was a rabbit on the road just now. It's still a life after all. I asked the driver to step on the emergency brake."

"Pony, the rabbit has run away. We can go now."

"Okay." The car started again.

Zhu Haoran closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. No wonder the commander had specifically instructed that Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue should be treated well. Perhaps these two people were really framed.

Zhu Haoran saw clearly the change in the two people's eyes just now. If he guessed correctly, Zhan Xinyue also has kung fu skills.

After being startled awake, the two were able to adjust their state and regain consciousness in just one second, and their eyes were sharp, which is something ordinary people cannot do.

However, in the first second, Zhu Haoran caught the confusion in their eyes and the dazed look of having just woken up from sleep. It didn't seem like they were acting.

Since Commander He said that he would treat them better, Zhu Haoran would naturally not disobey the order. Moreover, in his heart, he felt that Sheng Tunan was most likely wronged. Along the way, he was polite to the two of them.

Meals are arranged at state-owned restaurants and accommodation is at the best guesthouses.

Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue did not suffer any hardship along the way. They knew in their hearts that it must be He Yaqin who asked her grandfather for favor.

Because we stopped and walked along the way, ate well and slept well, we arrived at the Capital Military Region at eight o'clock in the morning on the third day.

Zhu Haoran asked the driver to drive the car directly to the headquarters.

Xiao Ma thought the leader had said something wrong, so he reminded him quietly, "Captain, aren't we going to the interrogation room?"

"No, I'll go directly to the headquarters. It's Commander He who arranged it." Zhu Haoran replied.

He was also very puzzled. Even if Sheng Tunan was framed, there was no need for the military district commander to personally investigate him?

But Commander He had made it clear on the phone before that he should send the person directly to him and he would investigate the matter personally.

"The army commander and the commander are both Grandpa He Yaqin, the same person. They are just called differently. The commander is the highest commander in charge of a region. Army commander is a rank. Grandpa He is the commander of a large military region, also at the rank of a full army. So they can both be called that!"
