A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

An Ning didn't think Wang Xiuying could do anything to her other than spread rumors. After thanking Zhao Xuemei for the reminder, she took the child home for dinner.

At the same time, Wang Xiuying also returned home.

Thinking about the people she met and the things she talked about today, she was so excited that she didn't even cook dinner.

When her husband, Tian Wei, returned from get out of class, the three children were already hungry and their stomachs were growling.

Tian Wei frowned, wanting to ask about his wife's condition, but Wang Xiuying pulled him into the room.

"Ah Wei, guess who I ran into when I went grocery shopping today?"

"Who?"

"Commander Li's niece, Qiao Shanshan!"

"Qiao Shanshan?"

Tian Wei knew Commander Li, but he was completely unfamiliar with the name Qiao Shanshan.

Wang Xiuying pulled Tian Wei to sit on the bed: "Awei, do you think that An Ning might be a spy?"

"what?"

Tian Wei was even more confused. He just wanted to ask about dinner tonight, how did it get involved with An Ning and spies again?

At this moment, Wang Xiuying was completely convinced of her guess and was totally immersed in her own imagined world.

She muttered to herself, "When Anning came, she was just like the little girl she brought with her—pale and thin, dressed in tattered clothes. Her family must not be well-off, and it's uncertain whether she had ever been to school."

But she's only been in the army for a short time, and she's already built a toy airplane.

Despite not being from the coast, she knows how to make snacks that no one has ever seen before, and she even modified the shovel used for beachcombing.

You said before that even the entrenching tools issued to your unit weren't this good. How could this woman from the countryside know about these things?

Qiao Shanshan told me that Anning's man was Commander Li's confidant, but before she appeared, her man had never mentioned her to Commander Li, nor had anyone else seen her.

Do you think it's possible that the Anning we see now isn't the original Anning, and that she was actually switched with someone on the way?

She was actually a spy planted by enemy agents!

Tian Wei frowned and removed his wife's hand, which was tightly gripping his arm: "I don't think so. The military conducts strict checks on every family member who comes in. If there are any issues with their identity, it's impossible to let her in."

"The person was simply switched; the letter of introduction and household registration she brought were all genuine. Who could possibly find out?"

Wang Xiuying was somewhat dissatisfied with her new husband's simple-mindedness, feeling that he wasn't as quick-witted as she was.

“Even so, it doesn’t really matter, right? She’s just staying here temporarily, going through the family visit procedure. She’ll have to leave soon,” Tian Wei said honestly.

Wang Xiuying pinched him, exasperated, and said, "That's the problem! Do you know what Qiao Shanshan told me? Commander Li is already facilitating her marriage registration process ahead of schedule. Once her husband returns, she can move into that room directly. What will we do then? Are you just going to let the spies take our room?"

Tian Wei frowned even more: "Whether she's a spy or not is still uncertain, and that room wasn't originally ours. I told you before, don't worry, I've been working hard. The regimental commander said that as long as I perform well in the coming period, I have a chance to be promoted to battalion level within two years, and then we can go through the proper procedures to apply for that house."

"Boom!"

Wang Xiuying suddenly stood up, slamming her foot on the bedside table with a loud thud.

She looked at Tian Wei with a tearful expression: "Who am I watching over there every day? Isn't it to give you a son and continue the family line? In the two rooms we live in now, the child and parents can only sleep on the floor. When the child grows up, I'm afraid there won't even be a place to stand up and move around. If we have a few more children, there simply won't be enough room!"

Yes, you're still young and think two years isn't a long time. The problem is, you can't just apply for housing there once you're promoted to battalion level. Who knows how long the waiting list will take!

You always think I shouldn't be eyeing that house. We should follow the rules. You think I'm embarrassing myself by causing trouble every day. You can apply for it on your own merit.

The problem is that there is a precedent in the military. Didn't Zhao Xuemei move in when her husband was still the company commander?

They only have one child; we are the ones who really need a house!

Why don't you think about our future? Don't you want to have your own children sooner?

When Tian Wei saw his wife like this, he opened his mouth, but swallowed back what he wanted to say.

After a long pause, he said in a muffled voice, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but the application just won't be approved. We can't just kick people out, can we?"

“It wasn’t possible before, but things are different now!” Wang Xiuying immediately wiped away her tears as she mentioned this. “That Anning is very likely a spy. If we can catch her, we will not only eliminate a hidden danger for the army, but you might even get promoted before next year!”

Tian Wei remained silent for a while before asking, "What if it isn't?"

Wang Xiuying got anxious, and even raised her voice by eight octaves: "How could it not be? How could a rural woman know what an airplane looks like? How could she modify a shovel to be better than the ones developed by our military researchers?"

You didn't see it, the clothes she wore when she first arrived were so worn that even ordinary people wouldn't wear them; they were covered in patches.

As a result, within a few days, she switched to the latest style from the department store, her skin became fairer and smoother, she gained weight, and she even bought squid by the 100-pound mark!

Her man isn't back yet! Where did she get the money to spend it? You've been in the army for so long, is your monthly allowance enough for me to spend like this?

Tian Wei fell silent.

If what his wife said is true, then the other party is indeed highly suspicious.

Wang Xiuying gritted her teeth: "Never mind, we'll go to the security department tomorrow... no, right now to report this situation. She received preferential treatment from Commander Li last time, and she went to see him again today. Who knows what she's up to! Maybe her purpose here is to get the intelligence that hostile elements need from Commander Li. We must stop her as soon as possible!"

Not long after, Wang Xiuying led Tian Wei to the security department, where she unexpectedly encountered Qiao Shanshan again.

Wang Xiuying's eyes lit up: "Officer Qiao, it's perfect for you..."

To her surprise, Qiao Shanshan acted as if she didn't know her well, simply nodding casually before brushing past them.

Wang Xiuying was stunned.

Tian Wei asked her, "Don't you know this Officer Qiao? Why is she ignoring you?"

Wang Xiuying couldn't understand it.

At this moment, someone nearby spoke up: "Comrades, is there anything you need? The security department is not a place you can just come to. If there's nothing else, please leave."

The other person's words startled Wang Xiuying, and she immediately remembered the purpose of her visit: "Yes, something's up! Comrade, we have something to report!"
