Listening to Song Xu's story, Yun Suisui on the other end of the phone was sweating.

Although Zhao Lichun was the victim in the original incident, no one in the Zhao family was a good person and could come up with such a dirty trick.

Fortunately, they didn't succeed, otherwise Song Xu's life would be ruined.

Yun Suisui felt a little guilty. After all, Song Xu dealt with the Zhao family to help her with the investigation, but he didn't expect that it would bring him into trouble.

She asked with concern: "Did you receive the package I gave you?"

"I got it, I got it."

Song Xu stopped crying and said embarrassedly, "Doctor Yun, you are so kind. You prepared so many things for me. I don't know how to repay you."

She felt a little disappointed when she heard from the person who delivered the package that Dr. Yun had returned to Bing City but had no time to return to Aimin Village.

But when she saw the package full of first aid medicines, as well as teacups and hot water bottles that could be used on the train, she felt very warm in her heart.

Apart from her family, only Dr. Yun would be so kind to her!

Yun Suisui smiled and said, "Don't say those polite words. You have helped me a lot. Put everything away. I also put some receipts in the cup sleeve of the teacup. A poor family can make a rich journey. Don't treat yourself badly on the road."

After Song Xu received the item, he put it away carefully, not noticing that there was a receipt inside.

She knew that Dr. Yun had no shortage of these things. After all, the two of them were just strangers who had met by chance and had never even had the chance to meet each other, but Dr. Yun was willing to consider so much for her.

Song Xu's eyes moistened again, and he choked up and said, "Doctor Yun, thank you."

Yun Suisui said gently, "Have a safe trip. If you have time when you get home, please write a letter and let me know."

Song Xu's confident voice came from the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, Doctor Yun, I will definitely write to you!"

After hanging up the phone, Yun Suisui went home.

They had been outside for a long time today, and the two little ones were crying with hunger, which made Ye Qinglan feel very distressed.

Although she felt somewhat dissatisfied, she couldn't tell her daughter-in-law about it in person, so she only told her son secretly when Gu Jun came the next day.

"Jun'er, don't you think Suisui is a little too busy? She just had a baby and now has to go to school and work again. Not only can she not take care of the child, but it's also bad for her health!"

Ye Qinglan said tactfully: "You didn't see it yesterday. Chuyi and Xiaoyi were crying because of hunger. Their faces were flushed red. It was really heartbreaking!"

Gu Jun's face remained calm as he said calmly, "I remember you said that when you gave birth to me, your family was poor and you had no milk. I only drank rice soup, but I've grown up like this, haven't I?"

"Sui Sui is Chu Yi and Shi Yi's biological mother. She definitely didn't starve them on purpose. She probably came back late because of something."

Seeing that Ye Qinglan looked unhappy, he said solemnly, "Mom, you are the mother of four children. Can you guarantee that you have never made a mistake in all these years? I still remember when Xiaoyue was a child, you took him out to play and he fell into the Beihuang Ditch and got covered in mud. You have been through the same thing, so you should be more understanding of Suisui."

"This is her first time being a mother too. How can she be perfect and not make any mistakes?"

Ye Qinglan was speechless after hearing what he said. She glared at him and said, "Okay, okay, you all have your own ideas. I'm being nosy!"

"how could be?"

Gu Jun said sincerely: "When Sui Sui was away, it was thanks to you that we took care of the whole family. Our home is so lively and well-organized."

After spending a long time with Yun Suisui, he has also learned some art of speaking. Normally, he just doesn't want to talk much, but that doesn't mean he can't say nice things.

Not to mention, he really meant it.

Ye Qinglan was made to laugh, but she also felt that she was thinking too seriously. It was just a little late in feeding, and the baby was very strong, so nothing would happen.

Seeing that she had figured it out, Gu Jun didn't say anything. After washing up, he went back to the master bedroom.

Yun Suisui was applying face cream. Seeing him come back, she smiled and took the initiative to report: "Dr. Jiang invited me to a farewell dinner yesterday. I came back late and saw that Mom didn't look well."

Gu Jun nodded calmly, "Mom just told me not to think too much about it. She just feels sorry for the child. I've already persuaded her."

Yun Suisui nodded. She was still very confident in Gu Jun when it came to handling the relationship between his wife and mother.

Recalling something, she asked again, "Has Xie Peng not been released yet?"

Gu Jun paused, his eyes drooping slightly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Xie Peng... he's gone."

The cream cap fell on the table with a loud clatter.

Yun Suisui was genuinely surprised this time. "What's going on? Isn't he under 24-hour surveillance? Who would dare to harm him?"

Gu Jun sighed, "He committed suicide."

Although Xie Peng is no longer alive, he confessed to the source of the funds in the passbook.

It turned out that the reason why a large amount of money flowed into the Xie family was because Xie Li and Xie Peng dug up a box of gold when they went hunting in the deserted mountains.

Under normal circumstances, unowned gold dug up must be handed over.

But the Xie family was too poor. Xie's father broke his leg while working in his early years and owed a lot of money to the villagers and relatives. Even if Xie Peng later joined the army and received subsidies, it was a drop in the bucket compared to the family's debt.

It would be hard for most people not to be tempted by suddenly finding such a large sum of money.

Xie Peng wanted to abide by the rules and hand over the unclaimed property, but his family disagreed. After several days of stalemate, Xie's father's leg disease suddenly relapsed.

It turned out that the treatment in the early years was too hasty. If the patient underwent surgery again, it would cost a lot of money, but how could the Xie family have the money?

Even Xie Peng couldn't say that he wouldn't let his father get treatment.

So the family embezzled the gold.

This was all Xie Peng confessed before he died. As for why he gave money to Huang Xiubin and the incident of Qian Youwei being injured, he refused to say anything.

He didn't say it, but you could guess what would happen next.

Huang Xiubin accidentally discovered the secret of the Xie family and used it to threaten Xie Peng, forcing him to cover up the murder of Qian Youwei and extorting money from him.

But no matter how reasonable these speculations are, Huang Xiubin cannot be convicted without evidence.

After Xie Peng's death, all members of the Xie family were questioned, but no one knew why Xie Peng asked Xie Li to deposit money into Huang Laoshi's account.

Xie Li said that at that time his brother only told him to do as he said and not to ask too many questions.

Huang Xiubin was also questioned by his superiors, but he said that Xie Peng did not give him money but was paying it back.

Xie Peng's family was in financial difficulty and he had borrowed some money from him before. During the Chinese New Year, he said he would pay him back, so he gave the other party his father's newly opened passbook.

But since he had left the passbook with Xie Peng and forgot to take it back, he didn't expect that the other party would deposit so much money into his father's account. It was probably done intentionally to drag him into the water, or to use his account to diversify risks.

After hearing Huang Xiubin's words, Yun Suisui had only one thought: Shameless people are invincible!

But what can be done?

Someone saw Xie Peng borrowing money from him, and he certainly didn't touch the passbook. Everything was traceable, and there was no evidence after Xie Peng's death.

Yun Suisui frowned, "Are we just going to let it go like this?"

Gu Jun shook his head. "Even though there's no solid evidence for something like this, it's impossible to just let it go. Commander Shen wants Huang Xiubin to retire or transfer to a civilian job."

The top leader has spoken, which is basically equivalent to semi-coercion. Even if you insist on staying in the army, there is no possibility of promotion in the future. It is better to find another way out.

According to Huang Xiubin's personality, he would not offend his superiors in order to stay in the army, nor would he make a choice with no future, so he would probably leave.

This was undoubtedly good news for Yun Suisui, but she just felt upset.

Isn’t it the same for Gu Jun?

From a personal perspective, betraying comrades is an unforgivable crime, but from the perspective of law and military regulations, Xie Peng does not deserve the death penalty.

But he died.

However, the most likely culprit behind the incident received a punishment that was insignificant compared to the crimes he committed.
