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

As soon as Zhao Xuemei finished speaking, the sound of stones rolling down the low cliff came from below. The two looked at each other and smiled, continuing to dismantle Wang Xiuying's psychological defenses.

An Ning scoffed, "Who told them to be so stupid? They believe whatever people say, and afterwards they can't even find any evidence."

"It's pitiful that their husbands have been implicated by them. One of them is about to die, and they don't even know who the instigator is."

An Ning sneered: "Tang Qiuqiao is one thing, she and her husband are both from Shanghai and have connections. After she was transferred, this matter was considered over. It's a pity that Wang Xiuying's man didn't even know how he died."

Zhao Xuemei sighed, "Yes! I heard from my husband that Tian Wei worked very hard this time. He didn't get much rest on the ship, but in order to earn more military merits and be promoted to battalion level as soon as he came back, he took the initiative to join the team going to the island."

I heard he did quite well this time, killing one of the enemy officers with a single shot. If it weren't for that incident where you were reported, he could have been promoted without even going to the island.

"Now Wang Xiuying must be happy! What should have been a natural progression was ruined because of her own stupidity; she's destroyed her own family."

"I heard she even asked her superiors to help introduce her to other officers?"

"Of course! But it's already good enough that there's a blind young and promising officer like Tian Wei in the whole army who would take a liking to her. As for finding a second one, I think she'd be dreaming of it." Zhao Xuemei changed the subject, "Speaking of that report, you were detained in there for a day, that shouldn't have anything to do with Wang Xiuying, right?"

"What does it have to do with her?" Anning said dismissively. "If she had that kind of ability, she would have used it to help her husband get promoted, or at the very least, to get this house I live in. For people with connections, it's not difficult at all. Look at my husband, he just got a good leader, and I moved in before the military dependent's paperwork was even done."

An Ning continued to provoke Wang Xiuying.

Zhao Xuemei nodded in agreement: "That's true. I heard that Tang Qiuqiao and Qiao Shanshan met through Zhao Xuemei. Do you think it's possible that this is related to Qiao..."

"Shh!" An Ning interrupted Zhao Xuemei, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence, or you'll end up like Wang Xiuying."

“Oh right, right, right!” Zhao Xuemei immediately corrected herself, “It’s terrible! Even if this is true, she can’t cause trouble for anyone. You saw Qiao Shanshan’s situation on New Year’s Day. Tang Qiuqiao could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger.”

"There was nothing I could do. I went to see Tang Qiuqiao that day, but Qiao Shanshan's methods were incredibly clever. She didn't say a word about what Tang Qiuqiao should do, but every sentence implied it. Even if she said it, no one would believe her; there was simply no evidence. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Wang Xiuying finally couldn't hold back any longer and quickly walked to the edge of the cliff, revealing her entire body.

Her face was gloomy, her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was suppressing her emotions, or perhaps she was agitated.

An Ning looked at her with a half-smile: "You've been following me all this way, and you've finally decided to come out?"

Wang Xiuying's expression froze: "Are you trying to blow me up?"

"No, we didn't tell a single lie just now."

An Ning is not someone who likes roundabout ways.

Using cunning to guide Wang Xiuying to do what she wants, just like Qiao Shanshan did, could indeed achieve her goal. However, once she revealed this, even if An Ning was initially in the right, others would look at her differently.

But if this matter is brought up publicly, things will be different. Once it's out in the open, Wang Xiuying's actions will be based on her own considerations, making it less likely that she will be exposed and minimizing the impact on her.

Wang Xiuying was at her wit's end. She either didn't believe An Ning's words or eventually left the army in disgrace.

Either try to drag Qiao Shanshan into this mess and see if you can find other opportunities for compensation.

This is Yang Conspiracy.

Wang Xiuying stared at An Ning for a long time, trying to find a trace of deception in An Ning's eyes.

But An Ning met her gaze openly and honestly, her eyes unwavering, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever.

She knew that the other party was waiting for her to make a decision.

"You know I know Officer Qiao, aren't you afraid I'll tell her what you were saying earlier?"

An Ning shrugged: "If you want to, then go ahead! But where's the evidence?"

Wang Xiuying was taken aback.

Yes, but where's the evidence?

How similar is her current situation to the situation Shen Anning described?

She had no evidence that Qiao Shanshan had harmed her and her husband, nor did she have any evidence that Shen Anning and Zhao Xuemei had said those things to her today.

She was already criticized in a meeting for spreading rumors about Shen Anning. Now that she's saying these things again, will anyone still believe her?

But the more she did this, the more unwilling she felt.

Why is it that the people who harmed her family are doing well, while she lost her husband and now faces leaving the army?

Although she was unwilling to admit it, under Shen Anning's guidance, she recalled the events of that day once again.

When she saw Shen Anning heading to Commander Li's house, she wanted to follow her to find evidence that she was currying favor with the leader. That's when she met Qiao Shanshan.

It was during that conversation that she came to the conclusion that Shen Anning was a spy.

Then, when she dragged her husband to report Shen Anning, she encountered Officer Qiao again in the security department.

They had a pleasant conversation during the day, but at that moment the other person pretended not to know her very well.

At the time, she was only focused on the fact that if the report was successful, the house would go to their family, so she didn't pay attention to this point, and then... that was the end of it.

Shen Anning was arrested that night, and she thought the matter was settled.

To everyone's surprise, she was released the next day. Not long after, the army held a criticism meeting, and she immediately became a pariah, with everyone looking at her with strange eyes.

But she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Every man for himself" is a proverb. She just wanted to make her and her family's lives better. What's wrong with that?

but……

She is not reconciled.

She is not reconciled!

Wang Xiuying said in a hoarse voice, "You just said that you want everyone to believe that Qiao Shanshan is the one behind all this, unless something happens?"

An Ning didn't answer her immediately, but asked instead, "So Qiao Shanshan was indeed the one who led you to report me, and that my being detained by the security department for a day was also related to her?"

This time, Wang Xiuying didn't keep everyone in suspense: "I did see that cadre Qu who was criticized with Qiao Shanshan."

An Ning continued, "What about Qiao Shanshan? Why is she targeting me?"

Wang Xiuying looked at her in surprise: "You don't know?"

An Ning said innocently, "If I knew, why would I have bothered you and Tang Qiuqiao? Don't you know when I joined the army? She's the regimental commander's niece and a female soldier. How could I possibly have the chance to know someone like that?"

Wang Xiuying suddenly smiled.

After hearing so much, she originally thought that Shen Anning and Tang Qiuqiao had a conflict, and that she and Tang Qiuqiao were just caught in the crossfire.

To everyone's surprise, the other party knew nothing about it.

Then how is this any different from her?

No, there is still a difference.

She and Tang Qiuqiao were foolish and were exploited by others who took advantage of their inner needs, but Shen Anning was not. Instead, she immediately found the people targeting her and fought back against them one by one.

However, this also proves the truth of what Shen Anning said from another perspective, doesn't it?

"I've answered your question. Now, shouldn't you tell me what I want to know?"

An Ning said nonchalantly, "It's simple. Aren't you and Tang Qiuqiao both her victims? Just go and confront her! If only one person encountered this, it would be fine, but if two people encounter this at the same time, she can't just say it's a coincidence, right? Even if you don't have evidence, there are always smart people who can see the problem. Even if you leave the army, given Commander Li's personality, she's always afraid of the worst-case scenario, and her path to promotion will basically be over."

Even though it's a lose-lose situation, tell me if it's a solution!

As for anything else, she really couldn't think of anything else.
