County town, port.

Xue Man arrived at Song Wenyuan's residence with his luggage, bringing him good news.

"and then?"

After hearing the news brought by Xue Man, Song Wenyuan kept tapping his index finger on the table, lost in thought.

Xue Man took a sip of water and continued, "She was hesitant, so why didn't I help her out? It's not like only that vicious woman can stir up trouble. I just casually mentioned it a few times, and she couldn't lie to herself anymore."

Song Wenyuan frowned: "She won't recognize you, will she?"

He didn't think Xue Man had done anything wrong, but he was worried that Xue Man would implicate his wife.

"Company Commander, don't worry! I only approached her after I had confirmed her situation. She complained about the officers that Regiment Commander Guo recommended to her, and in a fit of anger, Regiment Commander Guo said he would no longer care about her. This matter has spread throughout the army, and there is no way anyone will want to stay with her, so there is no way she can stay."

We've been on a classified mission here, and now I've been on leave for a whole month, so even if she wanted to find me, she wouldn't be able to. By the time I get back, she'll have already gone back to her hometown, so she'll be even less likely to find me.

Besides, all my skills were taught to me by you, Company Commander. Don't you trust me? I absolutely won't leave any loopholes!

Hearing Xue Man say this, Song Wenyuan finally nodded: "It's good that you know what's going on."

"When I left the unit today, I saw Regiment Commander Li rushing to the Political Department, which is probably related to this matter."

As Xue Man spoke, he grinned and moved closer to Song Wenyuan: "Company Commander, look, I solved such a big problem for you before I went home. How are you going to thank me?"

Song Wenyuan thought for a moment, then took out a bulging envelope from the drawer and handed it to Xue Man.

"this is for you."

Xue Man immediately pushed the envelope back, hurriedly saying, "No, no, no, I was just joking. I can't take this money."

Song Wenyuan rolled his eyes: "This isn't for you. Isn't Abing from the same place as you? When you get back, find some time to visit his wife and children, and then give them this money."

Upon hearing Song Wenyuan mention Abing, Xue Man fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room became tense.

Xue Man stopped making excuses and silently accepted the envelope: "Okay, I will go."

Wu Bing, their former comrade-in-arms.

During a mission, their identities were exposed by the enemy. Wu Bing bought them a chance to salvage the situation, but he was left there forever.

He came back that time to apply for marriage and take his honeymoon.

As a result, his superiors needed him and temporarily transferred him there; he never returned.

His fiancée from his hometown, whom he couldn't get a marriage certificate with, became pregnant in a moment of impulsiveness between the two.

In the military, couples who haven't registered their marriage aren't considered husband and wife. Wu Bing's pension went to his family, but his parents thought his fiancée was an unlucky woman who would bring misfortune to her husband, so they kicked the pregnant girl out of the house.

The girl's family had initially said that they would take her back home if she was willing to abort the child.

But the girl stubbornly gave birth to the child and raised it alone.

He had six such comrades-in-arms, who were either orphans and widows, elderly people without anyone to support them, or bedridden elders.

Over the years, Song Wenyuan has been helping them.

He sent part of his allowance back to his hometown, part to the homes of his comrades, and the rest he saved.

In his early years, he couldn't save any money at all. Later, he was promoted, his allowance increased, and with the addition of subsidies from various tasks, he gradually started to save some money.

The two chatted for a while longer before Xue Man began his journey home.

In the army, An Ning and Zhao Xuemei got to know some really juicy gossip.

As she had expected, Wang Xiuying and Tang Qiuqiao's reports did not have a significant impact on Qiao Shanshan because they lacked substantial evidence.

However, the higher-ups did take this matter very seriously, especially Li Bowen, Qiao Shanshan's uncle.

He had been on the battlefield more than once and had personally interrogated enemy agents. Under his watchful eye, he could tell at a glance who was telling the truth and who was lying among these untrained ordinary people.

Even if his niece acted aggrieved in front of him, he still sensed something unusual in her eyes.

He was really frustrated and puzzled by this.

Why has my niece, who used to be so well-behaved, sensible, and ambitious, become like this?

He was even thinking that if she didn't want to move up another two years, he would try to help her get promoted again.

The results of it?

However, there was no evidence for this matter. As the other party's uncle, he was always a distance away, so he didn't say much. He just took the opportunity to talk to Qiao Shanshan's direct superior for a while.

No one knows what they said in their office, and there was no follow-up action taken by the military against Qiao Shanshan.

But the fact that Wang Xiuying and Tang Qiuqiao, who reported Qiao Shanshan, retired successfully is the best sign.

If it's a false accusation, even if these two are military wives, they should at least conduct a self-examination.

But they went home right after suing someone, and anyone would think that Qiao Shanshan really had a problem.

So for a long time afterward, Qiao Shanshan was isolated and helpless in the army, and her comrades who were originally close to her kept their distance from her.

On the Anning side, they received a large number of gifts from Yan Fei.

It was said that since it was close to the Chinese New Year and Song Wenyuan hadn't gone home, Li Bowen, as her husband's superior, should take good care of his family back home.

In fact, both An Ning and Zhao Xuemei could understand the meaning behind these gifts.

"Wow, there's so much stuff here, it must cost at least a hundred or two hundred yuan each, right?"

Zhao Xuemei watched An Ning pack. Yan Fei hadn't hidden anything when he brought the things, so she simply watched from the side.

"more than."

Anning found a watch among these items. Although it was made in China, it still cost several tens of yuan, not to mention the other items.

"So Commander Li really doesn't know what kind of trouble his niece has been up to all this time. This Qiao Shanshan is really causing a lot of harm!" Zhao Xuemei sighed. "It's a pity we still don't know why she's targeting you. Isn't your husband her uncle's subordinate? Did he offend her at some point?"

“It’s not necessarily about offending them,” An Ning said.

Zhao Xuemei suddenly realized something and her eyes widened: "You mean..."

“Walls have ears,” Anning interrupted her. “She’s still an unmarried girl.”

Li Bowen's attitude was very clear when he gave him such an expensive gift.

He apologized for everything Qiao Shanshan had done, but as her uncle, he couldn't pursue the matter further, so he chose to let it go.

Given the other person's character, An Ning believed that he would not allow Qiao Shanshan to do anything against her again.

But given Qiao Shanshan's character, she had never even met her before, yet she had done so much against her. This time, she suffered such a huge loss, and the instigator even left the army. Who knows if she will hold a grudge against her?

Given her personality, she might secretly do something behind Li Bowen's back.
