His predecessor failed

Chapter 118 Caught off guard

Finally, the bus drove into the county town. It was called a county town, but in fact it was just a main street with shops on both sides. It was white, black and gray, full of the characteristics of that era.

The shuttle bus was slowly passing through the main street. The bus station was not far from the train station, at the other end of the main street.

Su Zhuzhu was leaning back in her chair, staring at the buildings outside. In fact, she could only see the edges and corners, because this bus came from the suburbs, and the road was covered with yellow mud. The dust had long since covered the body of the bus, not to mention the glass. Everything was blurry, and only a few places could be seen a little clearly. Su Zhuzhu was observing the outside through these few places.

Suddenly, two figures on the street outside came into view, waking up Su Zhuzhu, who was a little drowsy.

A soldier in military uniform and a petite and frail woman, just like a couple shopping in the future. The man's hands were full of things, and the woman was holding the man's arm with a cute look, and the word happiness was written all over her face.

As for why they were described as looking like a couple, it was because the man was He Qiaojin who was on a mission.

Su Zhuzhu's mood at this moment was indescribable. She just felt like something was rolling in her chest, making her feel a little dizzy and a little painful.

A few seconds were enough for her to see the intimacy between the two people, the man's doting eyes, and the woman's unconcealed affection. Anyone with a clear eye could tell that they were a couple.

Su Zhuzhu opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't even shout to stop the car, as if she was mute for a moment. She just continued to stare out the window blankly. The two people were already very far away, but she could still catch up with them by getting out of the car and chasing after them. After all, there was only one street and it was impossible to get lost.

But she was just stunned. She even asked herself whether she should get off the car and then find He Qiaojin in person to ask him what was going on. Why was he with Chen Xiaoyun and shopping together? They had such a close relationship. It was obvious that when they were in the family compound, he wanted to stay ten meters away from Chen Xiaoyun.

Then she thought, she is Su Zhuzhu, is she going to act like a shrew or an abandoned woman and argue with them and cry?

But, but... Su Zhuzhu swallowed her saliva, but she didn't want the three of them to face each other at all. What should she talk about? Should she ask He Qiaojin why he left her in the staff quarters to accompany Chen Xiaoyun outside?

Su Zhuzhu felt like her heart was being cut by a knife. She wanted to find an excuse for He Qiaojin and pretend that she couldn't see the doting look in He Qiaojin's eyes when he looked at Chen Xiaoyun. She thought that Chen Xiaoyun might be He Qiaojin's mission. What if she was carrying out a mission!

But her heart still hurts. Even if she is carrying out a mission, why does He Qiaojin have such a mission? Doesn't the superior know that they have already reported their marriage? Or does he have to be the one?

Thinking that Chen Xiaoyun had indeed been interested in He Qiaojin in the past, and that the two siblings had approached him more than once, Su Zhuzhu felt that there might be something hidden.

But Su Zhuzhu also knew in her heart that even if there was a hidden story, even if it was fake, seeing this scene could not change the pain in her heart like a knife cutting through it.

As a doctor, she is more or less obsessed with cleanliness. Su Zhuzhu realized at this moment that her biggest obsession with cleanliness is not about her appearance, but about her heart. Even if this man did not betray her, she felt incapable of accepting such a scene.

At this moment, Su Zhuzhu realized that being a real military wife was much more difficult than she had imagined. Even though ordinary soldiers did not have to face this situation, He Qiaojin was one of them. He was right within her sight, making her suffer.

Or, if she rushed out of the car and rushed in front of the two of them, what identity would she have to question them? Obviously, they had never had the chance to get their marriage certificate. Su Zhuzhu felt that it was extremely ironic. This trip to the army was like a training, which had torn her heart apart alive. She could only cover it up by herself and sew it back together stitch by stitch.

No matter whether it was a hoarse accusation or an indignant denunciation, Su Zhuzhu thought she couldn't do it. It was heartbreaking, but after seeing this scene, she could still control herself rationally not to behave impolitely. She didn't even want to get off the car to ask for clarification. She obviously could have done it, but she chose to escape. She was thinking that maybe she didn't love He Qiaojin enough, so when she saw He Qiaojin with someone else, she would subconsciously stay away from him.

Su Zhuzhu actually didn't want to admit that she subconsciously felt that losing a man was far less painful than losing herself. The pain of losing a man was temporary, and losing herself was what she really couldn't bear.

Wang Fenfen looked at Su Zhuzhu who was sitting next to her anxiously, and then she found that in a short period of time, Su Zhuzhu's expression changed from shock to pain to struggle, and then to numbness. This discovery made her panic.

"Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu, what's wrong with you? What did you see just now?"

Wang Fenfen's anxious voice pulled Su Zhuzhu out of her thoughts, but she was still a little dazed and a little bit unbelieving. She turned her head and looked out the window through the small piece of clean glass. There was nothing there, not even the figure of the man and woman.

Su Zhuzhu even suspected that the scene just now was imagined by herself, but she knew very well that this was impossible. She had never been an overly emotional person, and such a thing as imagination had never happened to her.

She forced herself to get out of the emotion she had just been in. Since she had made up her mind, she should just let it go and stop thinking about that person.

Su Zhuzhu made up an excuse to lead Wang Fenfen to her favorite topic, which easily diverted Wang Fenfen's attention.

After calming herself down, Su Zhuzhu didn't want to think about He Qiaojin anymore. She needed time to digest what she saw today. She also secretly hoped that He Qiaojin could explain everything to her as soon as possible. She still wanted to believe that He Qiaojin was not a fickle person. After all, the contrast between what happened before and what happened next was too great and it was not very reasonable. She also needed time to mend her broken heart.

Amidst Wang Fenfen's chattering, Su Zhuzhu slowly sorted out her thoughts. What she had to do now was to confirm the transportation of the hot sauce. She also didn't plan to stay here any longer. What she saw today made her want to leave here as soon as possible and go back to the beautiful village as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether what happened today was true or not, Su Zhuzhu allowed herself to be sad, allowed herself to be heartbroken, allowed herself to vent, but she did not allow herself to pin everything on one man.

He Qiaojin was walking on the side of the road with his hands full of things, thinking about going back home tonight. He hoped that his wife would like the gifts he brought. When he thought of his wife, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

It was precisely because He Qiaojin smiled that Chen Xiaoyun came closer again, thinking that He Qiaojin was smiling at her, and took advantage of the fact that He Qiaojin was unable to use both hands and directly held her arm.

My reflex was to shake off Chen Xiaoyun's arm, but suddenly I felt panic for no reason and thought something bad was going to happen.

I looked up and observed my surroundings. There were only gray buildings, people walking and riding bicycles on the road. A bus was heading in the direction I came from. I could see the back of the bus, which was heading in the direction of the county bus station and railway station.

There was clearly nothing unusual, but I just felt like something very important was getting farther and farther away from me.

His heart was inexplicably flustered, but then slowly calmed down. He had never had this feeling before, and it gave him a bad feeling. It seemed that he had to calm Chen Xiaoyun down tonight and go back to his family compound. He was really worried about his wife.

They suddenly received an emergency notice that day about a confidential mission. They were picked up directly from the army and didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to Zhuzhu.

Although he knew that this was a normal thing for their team, he inexplicably felt that his wife was wronged. They had only been together for a few days when he left without saying goodbye. Thinking that Zhuzhu might have been waiting for him to come back for dinner that day, but ended up waiting for the news of the mission, that little woman must have been very sad. Although she was usually good-tempered and capable, that was only in front of outsiders. Only he knew how spoiled his wife was behind others, and he was happy to coax his wife.

I looked at the things I bought again, and then thought about what my wife usually uses. Alas, although they are a little bit inferior, they are also my thoughts. This is already the best I can buy in this county.

"Brother Qiao Jin, why are you always distracted? Are you thinking about Comrade Su?"

Seeing that He Qiaojin was in deep thought, Chen Xiaoyun couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Comrade Su is doing well in the family compound! Brother Qiao Jin, the organization asked you to come and accompany me, can you please stop thinking about Comrade Su all the time? I was the first one to know you, so it's not her turn in terms of first come first served."

He Qiaojin patiently said a few perfunctory words, but Chen Xiaoyun became more and more excited.

"Brother Qiao Jin, look at me, what's so good about me? She's pretty, but I'm not bad either. Besides, you haven't got your marriage certificate for so long, you must be hesitant. So Brother Qiao Jin, you have to think it over. If you make the wrong choice, you'll have to worry about it for the rest of your life. I'm different. You're perfect in my eyes."

He Qiaojin thought there was a fly buzzing in his ear, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to resist and would kill Chen Xiaoyun. He and his wife have not yet obtained their marriage certificate, and it is all because of her.

Thinking back to when he first received this mission, He Qiaojin couldn't help but feel furious inside. What the hell was going on? Chen Xiaoyu and Chen Xiaoyun, these two siblings, were really troublesome. Chen Xiaoyu was gone, and they still buried such a big bomb. He thought he was welcomed back with the honor of a martyr, but he didn't expect that he was actually a nail that had been stuck in the army for many years.

That's right, the mission that He Qiaojin and the others received this time was about Chen Xiaoyu and Chen Xiaoyun. If Chen Xiaoyun hadn't suddenly called the troops, the spy secret would not have been exposed. It can only be said that Chen Xiaoyun's methods are not even a little bit worse than his brother's.

Chen Xiaoyun came to the army suddenly this time. The leaders had originally considered that he was the family member of a martyr, and now that he had come to the army due to difficulties, they must understand the situation well and solve the problems for the family members. The martyr must not be allowed to leave with uneasy peace and let the soldiers feel disheartened.

Unexpectedly, the officer sent to investigate the situation this time was more meticulous. Because Chen Xiaoyun was hiding a lot of things and didn't speak out, just repeating a few words and crying all the time, there was nothing they could do so they contacted many people, including Chen Xiaoyu and Chen Xiaoyun's hometown to find out the situation.

Wow, after finding out so much, they discovered that Chen Xiaoyun had contacts with people from Haicheng. At this time, the officer did not suspect that she was a spy. He just wanted to complete the task assigned by his leader seriously. He was worried that Chen Xiaoyun might have other things that she did not dare to say, so he went to investigate the identities of the people from Haicheng who had contact with her. The more he investigated, the more frightened he became, and then he quickly reported it to his superiors.

This caused an uproar. Chen Xiaoyun led to the discovery of a spy from Haicheng, and the identity of the spy was confirmed by the Haicheng Security Department. They did not expect that the spy had been hiding under their noses for so long.

However, the Haicheng Security Bureau did not dare to alert the enemy and just dug down along this line. Soon they dug out a whole line. It was really like pulling out a radish brings out the mud. According to the current information, this organization cannot have less than thirty people. This is considered a major case.

Therefore, the higher-ups convened an emergency meeting overnight. This organization was rooted in Haicheng, but their activities avoided Haicheng and they were developing activities in other places. This was also the reason why the Haicheng Security Department had not paid attention to them.

If Chen Xiaoyun had not acted cautiously this time and had led a leader out, it would not have been discovered. In order to stabilize Chen Xiaoyun, the army sent out several soldiers, and the other one was He Qiaojin. He Qiaojin was in the open, and the others were in the dark.

He Qiaojin was completely caught in an unprovoked disaster. Thanks to Chen Xiaoyun's constant complaints about Brother Qiaojin's crying, He Qiaojin was also on the mission, otherwise this mission would never have fallen on He Qiaojin.

The leaders also knew that this time they were sorry for He Qiaojin. He had just gotten married and didn't even have a marriage certificate. He hadn't taken care of his wife for a few days, but he took such an unfair task. It was somewhat unfair to the young couple. It would have been fine if he had gone into battle to kill the enemy, but this mission, to put it bluntly, was to let He Qiaojin stabilize Chen Xiaoyun. Didn't Chen Xiaoyun fall in love with He Qiaojin? Chen Xiaoyun fell in love with He Qiaojin and wanted to change her destiny by getting married. The people behind Chen Xiaoyun were attracted to He Qiaojin's family background and her status and ability in the army.

It is a soldier's duty to obey orders. The order that He Qiaojin and his team received this time was to stabilize Chen Xiaoyun, find out as many suspects as possible that Chen Xiaoyun had contact with, and cooperate with the Haicheng Security Department to wipe out this organization in one fell swoop. More importantly, they must find out the problem with Chen Xiaoyu. Chen Xiaoyu has been active in the army for so many years, and he must have planted the seeds of trouble. This time, they must root him out and conduct a complete internal investigation.
