A member of the Public Security Committee dialed the phone number provided by Su Jinru.

"A familiar male voice came from the other end of the line. Coincidentally, it was Yuan Wenjie who answered the phone."

"Excuse me, is Comrade Yuan Wenjie here?"

"I am who I am. Who are you? What do you want with me?"

"Oh! You must be Comrade Yuan Wenjie! I'm from the Public Security Committee of Nanyang County, Nan Province. We'd like to ask you about something."

What situation would you like to know?

What is your relationship with Comrade Su Jinru?

"Su Jinru is my wife! What happened to her?"

Yuan Wenjie answered directly, without the slightest hesitation or doubt.

Moreover, this call was made directly to Yuan Wenjie by someone from the Public Security Committee; Su Jinru had not informed him beforehand.

Yuan Wenjie's quick reaction and decisive answer moved Su Jinru and secretly relieved.

If he had hesitated even slightly, others would have had doubts, but his answer was so natural and fluent that the members of the Public Security Committee were undoubtedly convinced.

"Oh! So she really is your family member. One more question, are you in the military?"

"Of course I'm a soldier. Why are you asking these questions? What happened to Comrade Su Jinru? What's wrong?"

"Comrade Yuan Wenjie, don't worry, Comrade Su Jinru is fine. She had a misunderstanding with someone, but things have cleared up now."

"Is Comrade Su Jinru there now? I want to talk to her. Please give her the phone."

"Yes, yes, yes, okay, please wait a moment."

The security committee member handed the phone to Su Jinru.

"Hello, this is Su Jinru."

"What happened?" Yuan Wenjie asked.

Hearing his voice, Su Jinru suddenly felt her throat tighten and her eyes redden.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

She tried to speak calmly, saying, "It's nothing. Some people questioned why I have money to keep dogs, saying that I made my money by sleeping with random men..."

As Su Jinru spoke, her voice choked with emotion, too aggrieved to speak.

Since her rebirth, she has faced numerous doubts and attacks because she is single.

In this day and age, it's astonishing that a single woman has to endure so much baseless gossip and rumors.

She has always been competitive, but these invisible acts of malice came wave after wave, leaving her defenseless.

Six months ago, before Yuan Wenjie left, he told her that if anyone questioned or made things difficult for her because she was single, she could use him as a shield.

So when Wang Yuzhen slandered her in front of so many people, calling her a widow, she implicated Yuan Wenjie in her conversation, saying that he was her man.

If she didn't say it that way, she simply couldn't explain why she was richer than the average person and could afford to keep a dog.

If she can't explain it clearly, people will misunderstand that her money came from dubious sources, and her two children will never be able to hold their heads high again.

To clear her name and for the sake of her child, she had to lie and say she had a man, even using Yuan Wenjie as a shield.

She asked the security committee to call and verify, actually hoping to get away with it.

She was lucky; the person who answered the phone was Yuan Wenjie.

When Yuan Wenjie said without hesitation, "Su Jinru is my wife," Su Jinru was instantly overwhelmed.

She suddenly felt so tired!

No matter what difficulties she encountered before, she never felt tired and always felt that she could get through them because no one would help her bear them except herself.

She had to be strong, both in her past and present lives, and she had to face everything alone.

Now that someone is willing to help her, she realizes that she also wanted someone to lend a hand during her most difficult time so that she could catch her breath.

In front of everyone else, she was a warrior in armor, but in front of him, she was so vulnerable.

Simply because she didn't need to pretend in front of him.

So a voice inside her told her that she could be wronged and show weakness.

Su Jinru was startled by this idea.

She couldn't face her vulnerable self. Afraid that she would burst into tears in front of him, she quickly handed the phone back to the comrade from the Public Security Committee.

Yuan Wenjie naturally sensed Su Jinru's emotional change.

He said to the security committee members, "Comrades, we soldiers are on the front lines defending our country, shedding sweat and blood, while our families are suffering so much injustice in the rear. And you security committee members are calling to question our relationship. Is this how you do your job?"

Yuan Wenjie didn't speak harshly, but his words were firm and powerful. His voice, though calm, was like a sharp knife, piercing straight to the heart.

The dissatisfaction and disappointment revealed in his tone put an invisible pressure on everyone present.

The members of the security committee broke out in a cold sweat.

In the military, people who have a phone with them are usually of a high rank.

The other party's identity is not simple.

"I'm sorry, it's our fault for not doing our job well, and it really caused Comrade Su Jinru to suffer."

The person from the Public Security Committee spoke with a hint of guilt and apology.

"If the work wasn't done well, do you know how to make amends? Comrade Su Jinru was unjustly slandered, do you know how to punish the wicked and promote the good?"

"Do you know?" The question made the security committee members sweat profusely.

They felt an unprecedented pressure.

"I know, I know. Please rest assured, we will definitely deal with those who spread rumors and slander, and we will restore Su Jinru's innocence."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuzhen, who was standing nearby, turned pale instantly.

“Wang Yuzhen, you have slandered military family members and even attempted to assault the children of military personnel. Your false statements have caused distress and harm to Comrade Su Jinru. You must apologize to her.”

Wang Yuzhen never expected the final outcome to be like this.

Her son has been going to school with Su Jinru's son for many years and has never seen An Ran's father, who is a soldier.

Yes! Soldiers sometimes don't come back for many years.

This means that Su Jinru does indeed have a husband.

He's a soldier.

She slandered a soldier's wife, claiming she had questionable morals; this is a serious crime.

The two children used to play together every day and had a good relationship, but for some reason, she just couldn't stand Su Jinru.

Because she is so young and beautiful, and her child's academic performance is so good, he is praised by the teacher every day.

In particular, their family grows all kinds of vegetables, and the money the two children earn from selling vegetables is enough for them to spend on their own.

They also have a dog, which is something her son envies immensely.

So Wang Yuzhen was always unhappy. Why was a woman without a man living a better life than her? Why did her son always envy her child for having pocket money and a smart, obedient dog? He even said how considerate and good Anran's mother was.
