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

As the days went by, Anning and Zhao Xuemei had already thought that Wang Xiuying would not do anything more. Who knew that without them receiving any news, the two of them had secretly accomplished something big.

This matter was reported to Qiao Shanshan's direct superior and even alarmed Commander Li.

Li Bowen was working diligently when he received a call from the Political Department. He was completely stunned when he answered the phone.

Li Bowen's niece is suspected of instigating others to commit crimes and framing a military spouse.

Is the political department sure they didn't make a mistake?

Li Bowen only has brothers, no sisters, and naturally no other nieces, so the person they're talking about must be Qiao Shanshan.

The problem is that he practically watched Qiao Shanshan grow up. Even after being in the army for so long, she never took advantage of their relationship to get any special treatment. In fact, she was worried about being gossiped about and actively avoided him.

No matter who mentions her, he will only praise her, nothing more.

But now...

Li Bowen suppressed his doubts and strode towards the Political Department.

The Political Department, where Qiao Shanshan worked, was also the department responsible for organizing ideological education for the soldiers in the army.

Now, the political commissar has been reported by someone within the political department.

Security Section.

Qiao Shanshan had been eagerly anticipating her uncle's arrival, and it finally came.

Upon seeing Li Bowen, she stood up with tears in her eyes: "Uncle...you must believe me, I really didn't!"

When the officer next to him saw Li Bowen, he also took the initiative to come up and greet him: "Commander Li. After all, this matter involves your niece, so we called you over to ask you about the situation."

Seeing his niece in such a pitiful state, Li Bowen suppressed his anger and asked calmly, "What happened?"

He glanced at the people in the room, and the other two women looked somewhat familiar.

The officer carefully observed Li Bowen's expression, but couldn't discern anything from it, so he truthfully recounted the situation.

Finally, he added, "Although neither of these two military spouses could produce concrete evidence, we investigated the past relationships of these comrades, including Officer Qiao Shanshan. They had no interaction or conflict whatsoever. There's no reason for them to unite and report Officer Qiao Shanshan without cause. On the contrary..."

"What's the opposite?"

"On the contrary, the situation they described...did indeed contain some inexplicable coincidences."

For example, Qu Zhiming, who arrested An Ning against regulations, was a suitor of Qiao Shanshan; for example, the fact that Tang Qiuqiao's program was able to get submitted was indeed due to her connection with Qiao Shanshan; and for example, they were both targeting the same person...

Qiao Shanshan defended herself: "Uncle, I really didn't. It was all a coincidence. I just happened to know these two comrades and chatted with them. They complained to me about the troubles they were encountering, and I agreed with them. Isn't that a normal thing?"

Li Bowen suddenly turned his head: "Who are you talking about?"

Qiao Shanshan was stunned. She had never seen her uncle so fierce before, and she didn't dare to reply for a moment.

"Of course it's Shen Anning."

Tang Qiuqiao spoke up coolly from the side.

"At first, I did think it was my own idea to do it, after all, I just didn't like her. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. The conflict between me and Shen Anning didn't go so far as to cut up my performance costume to frame her. Why would I have such a thought? So I tried hard to recall and finally found the answer."

Originally, I withdrew from the original program because I didn't plan to create a new one, since the registration period had already passed. I only said those things because I didn't want Shen Anning to be so smug.

Until that day, this Comrade Qiao Shanshan took the initiative to find me and said that she thought highly of me, saying that since I came from a big city, the programs I would produce would definitely be more interesting than those produced by Shen Anning, this country bumpkin.

She also said not to worry about the registration deadline, as she was Commander Li's niece and had a way to get our program submitted, so I agreed.

Later, she used what happened to Wang Xiuying as a starting point to talk to me about Shen Anning.

Although her words implied that she was thinking of me, she was actually suggesting that Shen Anning might do something bad to me, and that it was also a form of self-protection to retaliate when necessary.

Otherwise, no matter how dark my heart is, I, Tang Qiuqiao, would never do such a thing.

Later, Wang Xiuying came to me, and we talked for a while. We discovered that there were so many coincidences in the matter, which was also about Shen Anning. It was Tang Qiuqiao who first guided her to think about espionage when she reported Shen Anning.

I took responsibility for my mistakes, but why was she, the instigator, able to live a carefree life in the military?

Although we lack evidence, we still want to expose her true colors so that everyone can see them and be on guard!

"You're talking nonsense!" Qiao Shanshan's voice trembled. "Before New Year's Day, I hadn't even met Comrade Shen Anning, let alone knew who she was. What reason would I have to harm her?"

"Then who knows you?"

Tang Qiuqiao and her husband's transfer orders have been issued, and their files have been transferred along with the orders.

They were about to leave, so she wasn't worried at all about what Li Bowen would do to them if this were exposed, and she acted as if it didn't matter.

She hoped this matter would escalate as much as possible.

The thought that she had fallen for such a person's trick made her furious.

Wang Xiuying also used her best skill – feigning weakness.

She was already very thin, and with her head down, she looked like she was about to cry. She recounted how her late husband had tried to get a promotion for the sake of the family and children.

But unlike Tang Qiuqiao, she took all the blame upon herself: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so stupid as to believe her that Shen Anning was a spy, I wouldn't have dragged Awei to report her. If I hadn't dragged Awei to report her, his combat merits would have been enough for him to be promoted to battalion level, and he wouldn't have risked coming to the island with his injuries for us. If he hadn't risked coming to the island with his injuries, he wouldn't have sacrificed himself, leaving only us, the old and young, to depend on each other for survival!"

She didn't forget to mention Qiao Shanshan: "I don't know what grudge this Officer Qiao has against Comrade An Ning, but my Awei is innocent!"
