A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

Li Jinye's gaze swept over Cai Qin, his chill deepening. "Since your Cai family can't control its own people and has raised such a vicious creature, then hand her over to the police!"

"No—I don't want to go to the police station!" Hao Weiwei lunged at him like a madwoman, but Li Jinye dodged her.

"Li Jinye, I've loved you for so many years, and everything I've done is for you!"

"hehe!"

Li Jinye chuckled, his eyes looking at something dirty: "You like me, so I have to reciprocate?"

"What are you?!"

"What is that?!" Hao Weiwei plopped down on the ground.

She clutched her chest and murmured to herself, "No...it's not like that!"

"Clearly, you liked me!"

Yes! You even bought me clothes back then!

"You mean that time five years ago?" Li Jinye raised an eyebrow, his tone even more disdainful. "My brother was drunk and threw up all over you. I didn't have time to run errands for you, so I asked your aunt to buy it for me."

What, didn't she explain it clearly to you? Or did you deliberately misunderstand?

Hao Weiwei suddenly turned to look at Cai Qin, "Auntie, is what he said true? That dress... did you buy it?"

Tsai Chin looked embarrassed. "Weiwei, I told you back then that Li Jinye asked me to buy it for you."

Hao Weiwei's pupils constricted as scenes flashed before her eyes: her aunt's hesitant words and her own joy, only to find it was all wishful thinking on her part.

"Then, you even brought me an umbrella before?" Hao Weiwei pressed on, unwilling to give up. "It was four years ago, at the hot pot restaurant in Beijing. You brought the umbrella to the door of my private room!"

"Oh? An umbrella?" Li Jinye seemed to recall something, his tone becoming even more sarcastic. "I remember four years ago in Beijing, there was a heavy rain, and my teammates and I went to that hot pot restaurant. We did lose an umbrella!"

"Lost?" Tsai Chin pondered the word, a bad feeling creeping over her.

Sure enough, Li Jinye continued, "Yes, it was lost!"

I left my umbrella by the door, and when I came out, it was gone. I initially thought some ill-mannered person had stolen it.

He glanced at Hao Weiwei with disdain: "So, it was you, the thief, who took it."

"No...that's not how it happened...someone told me that you left the umbrella there as a gift for me!"

"How ridiculous!"

How can there be such people in the world? Their ears only pick out what they want to hear, their eyes only choose what they want to see, deceiving themselves to this extent—is their brain a filter?

Lin Huizhi's words were like a knife, stabbing Hao Weiwei in her most painful spot.

"I...I...I! Waaah—!" Hao Weiwei burst into tears, disregarding her image.

How could this be? All the feelings she'd held onto for so many years were just a lie? All a figment of her imagination, a self-deception?

Hao Weiwei looked at everyone. Li Jinye's disgust, Lin Huizhi's mockery, He Jingxian's disdain, and her aunt's embarrassment felt like countless needles pricking her. She felt like a clown jumping around.

"It's so noisy."

Li Jinye looked at Cai Qin: "Sister-in-law, is your Cai family short of people? Sending out someone like this who's hard of hearing and lacks common sense to embarrass themselves in my house!"

Tsai Chin's face flushed red as she dragged her out, saying, "I'm sorry, Commander Li! It was our fault! I'll take her away right now! I'll take her away right now!"

"We're going to the police station." Li Jinye's voice came from behind, icy and chilling.

"If I don't see her at the police station tomorrow, I will naturally send someone to 'pick her up' in person."

Whether she goes to Political Commissar Huang, the Hao family, or the Cai family, she won't escape their clutches.

"Yes...yes..." Tsai Chin's voice trembled, her heart sinking to the bottom. She subconsciously looked at He Jingxian, her eyes full of pleading.

But He Jingxian just stood there, her face solemn, showing no intention of pleading for mercy.

Tsai Chin's heart sank instantly. Even Li Jinye's mother wasn't speaking up for her; Weiwei's life was completely ruined.

After the two left, Li Jinye's murderous aura subsided somewhat.

He looked at Lin Huizhi, "Sister, is Yinyin inside? I'll go check on her."

Looking at his travel-worn appearance and his sharp tongue just now, Lin Huizhi's anger subsided a bit, but she still didn't give him a pleasant look.

She was sleeping in the house and wouldn't see anyone.

As for the child's condition, she'll tell you herself when she wakes up.

Upon hearing this, Li Jinye paused, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.

He didn't insist anymore, "Okay, I'll come back in an hour."

After saying that, he turned to look at He Jingxian beside him, his tone softening: "Mom, why don't you go to my room and rest for a while? You must be tired from the long journey."

"it is good."

He Jingxian responded and turned to walk towards the room in the corner of the courtyard, but her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the bedroom, her eyes filled with heartache and self-blame.

It's all her fault! She's partly to blame! Her daughter-in-law is only eighteen, still a naive young girl. How could she withstand the doctor's scare tactics?

Hearing that the child might have a problem, she must have been terrified and completely lost her composure. If she had come to Hebei Province earlier and visited her daughter-in-law first, instead of worrying about Hao Weiwei first, wouldn't this have prevented this from happening?

He Jingxian sighed heavily, her heart filled with regret.

Li Jinye didn't linger. He turned and left the Lin family courtyard, heading straight for the military headquarters—he needed to report on the mission first.

He made a mistake during this mission.

Faced with the eighteen people from Tianjia Village, he failed to uphold the principles of a soldier and chose the most ruthless method of killing.

But he doesn't regret it.

Those people were all mixed-race spies from Country R.

They trafficked people in the village and even used innocent infants for live experiments.

He will never forget the scene when he rushed into that laboratory.

The room was filled with glass containers, each containing children's organs, and the air reeked of formaldehyde. In the basement, more than a dozen pregnant girls were imprisoned. The Japanese nationals not only forced them to give birth to their children for experiments, but also forced them to work as prostitutes.

He simply couldn't bear such a horrific scene, such heinous acts. Even if it meant violating military discipline, even if it meant facing punishment, even if it meant losing his uniform, he would make those beasts pay the price.

However, there is one more thing he must confirm before accepting punishment.

According to the prisoners captured during the mission, people surnamed Tian had been planted in several hospitals in the city where they were located, especially in key departments such as obstetrics and gynecology and household registration.

These individuals abused their positions to traffic in people and sell newborn babies, employing extremely heinous methods.

Was Yinyin's being deceived and forced to have an abortion by Hao Weiwei really just Hao Weiwei's selfish act? Could it be related to the spy surnamed Tian? He remembered that Hao Weiwei had a friend whose surname was Tian!

He wouldn't let a bad person go unpunished! Nor would he wrong an innocent person. This was one of the reasons why Hao Weiwei was sent back first, and they would go to the police station tomorrow.

Lin Huizhi stood in the courtyard, watching Li Jinye's departing figure, feeling that the murderous aura around him was too heavy.

I felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
