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

"Anning is back!"

A single sentence opened the doors to more than half of the residents in the military family housing area.

Regardless of what these military families thought when An Ning was taken away, they are now very friendly towards her.

"Anning, what's the matter with the security department taking you away?"

"Someone knocked on your door late last night, it really startled us!"

Yan Fei was about to carry out the task assigned to him by the regimental commander, but An Ning was one step ahead of him.

"The matter from yesterday is still unresolved, and the military should issue an announcement later. However, I may not be able to fulfill my promise to help all the ladies modify their shovels."

"what?"

No one understood what the connection was between Anning being taken away and her promise to help them modify their shovels. Why couldn't she suddenly help them modify them?

That's not the point. The point is that she took the money!

However, An Ning's next words put their minds at ease.

"I've been out all day, so I'm going back to rest for a bit. Could you please help me notify the people who paid the deposit to come to my house after dinner to get their money back?"

After hearing An Ning's words, the crowd dispersed, each with a lot on their minds that they wanted to say to someone.

"Sister-in-law, you're really amazing," Yan Fei whispered. "I hadn't even explained things to you yet, and the matter was already resolved."

An Ning smiled nonchalantly: "Where can this be resolved? They just don't dare to tell me to my face! But didn't Commander Li promise to give me an explanation? I believe this matter will have a good outcome."

Yan Fei fell silent.

If he were the one framed as a spy, his mindset would definitely not be like Shen Anning's.

"Then you should go back and rest first, sister-in-law. I won't see you in."

Although the matter has been resolved peacefully, the tasks assigned by the regimental commander still need to be carried out.

He needs to walk around the family area; some familiar people will definitely come up to him to ask about the situation, and he can just spread the word.

"it is good."

As Anning approached her house, a small, thin figure rushed over and hugged her.

"Mom! You're finally back!"

Shen Changle's voice trembled, but she forced herself not to cry.

When Anning was away, she learned to be strong.

But this was not what An Ning had expected.

Zhao Xuemei followed her out of the house, looking relieved: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Anning patted the child's head and said softly, "Sweetie, Mommy's back. It's alright now!"

The little girl clung to her, unwilling to let go.

Zhao Xuemei added, "Have you eaten lunch? If not, why don't you come and eat here? There's still some leftover rice in the pot, so you don't need to go back and cook."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law."

Just then, An Ning also wanted to ask Zhao Xuemei who Wang Xiuying was, that she could even bribe the security personnel!

After hearing about An Ning's ordeal in the security department, Zhao Xuemei blurted out "Impossible."

Seemingly realizing her words were too absolute, she added, "Everyone in the family quarters knows about Wang Xiuying's situation. Her ex-husband was a soldier under her current husband, Tian Wei. After his death, Tian Wei took leave and visited her in her hometown with her husband's belongings, and that's how they got together. But neither her ex-husband nor Tian Wei had the power to get the security department involved. Did you offend someone else?"

The question was immediately rejected by Zhao Xuemei herself as soon as it was asked.

"That's impossible. You've only been in the army for a short time, and we're together almost every day. How could you possibly have offended anyone else?"

An Ning was also thinking about this issue.

The fact that the security department was able to treat her like this means it wasn't something trivial.

From a purely interest-based perspective, she couldn't think of anyone else besides Wang Xiuying with whom she had any dealings.

Is it possible...

"It's not because of your man, is it?"

An Ning had the same idea as Zhao Xuemei, but the problem was that she had no idea about Song Wenyuan's situation in the army.

What heinous crime did he commit to implicate his wife?

The more Zhao Xuemei thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She thought An Ning wouldn't believe it, so she gave her an example: "You've heard people say that soldiers are straightforward and don't have many hidden agendas. Actually, they just haven't used that on you yet."

There are limited spots to move up, but many people want to move up.

My husband told me about a soldier who always thought he was going to be promoted to officer, but someone else was promoted instead. So he reported that person, and in the end, neither of them got promoted.

"Maybe your man blocked Qu Zhiming's path!"

······

A secret base in the port.

Song Wenyuan waited a long time before finally receiving a call from his superior.

After learning about his wife's ordeal in the military, even though his superiors repeatedly assured him that he would give her an explanation, he still found it difficult to calm himself down.

By the time he came to his senses, he was almost at his unit.

He didn't ride a bike; he ran on his own two legs.

It was already late, and he only told Xue Man about returning to the army.

Reason told him that even if he didn't have any missions in the near future, he couldn't abandon his post and should go back immediately.

But his legs seemed to be stuck in a swamp, unable to move.

Li Bowen remained silent for a long time, until his anger finally reached its peak: "So you're worried that your identity will be exposed and affect the mission, so you don't dare to see her and instead came here? Didn't you ever think that your dereliction of duty would also affect the mission assigned to you by the organization?"

Song Wenyuan lowered his head and said, "It's my fault, and I'm willing to accept the punishment."

"Willing to be punished? You're incredibly audacious! Do you know how serious the consequences are if you're discovered infiltrating the military? The situation between us and the southern country is tense right now. If you're discovered by the sentries, you'll be shot on the spot, and afterwards all you have to do is file a report!"

Even if they don't kill you outright, if you're caught deserting your post, do you think you'll ever get promoted? Dream on! All those past achievements aren't enough to clear your name!

Song Wenyuan knew that his superiors were doing it for his own good and were worried about him, so he wasn't afraid at all.

He was the second child in his family, with an older brother and a younger sister. Although his parents never skimped on his food or drink, he was often the one who was neglected.

It wasn't until he met the group leader that he truly understood what care from an elder meant.

He would worry about his future, he would worry about his major life events, and even when he made a mistake, his first thought was how to clean up his mess.

Thinking of this, his eyes welled up with tears, and he trembled as he spoke of the pent-up frustration he had been carrying for the past two days.

"Her name is Shen Changle."

"What's the matter?"

Li Bowen was completely baffled by Song Wenyuan's sudden, nonsensical remark.

Song Wenyuan opened his dry eyes, his voice hoarse: "My daughter's name is Shen Changle. Commander, something must have happened to my family!"
