I'm only five years old, how come I've become the military region's darling?

"Knock knock".

Su Mei knocked on the door, and when she heard someone inside say "come in," she gently pushed the door open.

The room was filled with smoke.

Director Wu turned to look at Su Mei. His usual gentleness had vanished, replaced by anger and seriousness. Remembering what Director Wang had said yesterday, he stubbed out his cigarette.

"Dr. Su, please come in and close the door behind you."

Su Mei stood nervously by the sofa, twisting her hands, without sitting down immediately. Her eyes drifted to the document next to Director Wu's hand. Was that a report from the police?

"Dr. Su, we know about what happened yesterday. Is there anything you'd like to say?"

"Director Wu, that's not how it is. I had my reasons for taking that divorce agreement."

"Difficulties?" Director Wu picked up the documents and tossed them onto the coffee table. "The police's forensic report has already been delivered to Commander Cao's desk. This was brought over by Xiao Sun from Commander Cao's side. What do you think I should do to resolve this?"

Su Mei felt her ears ringing. "Director Wu, I can explain this. You've seen my work over the past two years. I really cherish this job. You see..."

"Dr. Su, Commander Cao hasn't sent anyone to handle this yet, but this matter is beyond our hospital's ability to make a decision on its own. I expect a leader will talk to you later. I'm informing you today that it's best to suspend your work for a while."

"Stop...suspend him? Director Wu, are you really going to suspend him?"

"Dr. Su, the hospital isn't my family's property, so I can't make that decision."

In an instant, Su Mei felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked. Her throat was dry, and she was somewhat disoriented. "Director Wu, may I ask how long Dr. Fu will be providing support in the countryside?"

Director Wu's eyes flickered.

"Dr. Su, you should focus on your own affairs right now. Dr. Fu is a key doctor in our hospital, and he has three children to support. Besides, he is the spouse of a martyr. We are all adults. I understand your thoughts, but we also need to consider the timing and context, right?"

Su Mei wasn't stupid; how could she not understand what Director Wu meant?

He was afraid that he would implicate Fu Chen.

Is this the hospital's intention, or Fu Chen's...?

Su Mei's heart was like a piece of oil being fried in a pot, causing her great discomfort inside and out.

Looking at her pale face, Director Wu felt a little sorry for her, after all, it was rare to find such an ambitious and good comrade.

Out of humanitarian concern, I still said, "The best way to resolve this is for you to gain your husband's and children's forgiveness; perhaps then there's still a chance for things to turn around."

Su Mei didn't know how she got out of the office; under the blazing sun, she felt dizzy and disoriented.

She was too ashamed to go back to her office, and she couldn't stand the way people looked at her.

Everyone told her to beg Ruan Jianhua and that ungrateful Ruan Xiaochun. Why should she? Everything she has now is the result of her hard work day and night. Ruan Jianhua's achievements were just a starting point for her.

Why does everyone think that they owe their current success to him?

Su Mei's tears flowed uncontrollably. She wiped them away fiercely, determined not to bow down to Ruan Jianhua and Ruan Xiaochun.

She also has Fu Chen.

That's right, Fu Chen can definitely help her.

Su Mei wiped away her tears and secretly went to the hospital's logistics department. She found the comrade who was in charge of preparing supplies for field missions and spent some money to find out where Fu Chen had gone.

The Red Flag Brigade under Lianshui County.

Without a second thought, Su Mei returned to her residence, packed her things, and set off for the Hongqi Brigade in Lianshui County.

Here, Ruan Xiaochun got up in the morning intending to take Ruan Jianhua to find Commander Cao to seek justice, but unexpectedly, they couldn't find Su Mei.

Xiao Sun rushed back. "Commander, the sentry post ahead said that Comrade Su Mei went out, and it seemed to be in a hurry."

"Did they go out?"

"Our people went to check, and she didn't take any of her things, so she probably didn't run away."

Ruan Xiaochun sat obediently on the sofa. Based on her understanding of Su Mei, she knew that Su Mei would not run away, but she was worried that Su Mei would hide away to give birth.

Currently, the only issue is the falsified divorce agreement, so Su Mei's punishment is limited. Only by adding the charge of having extramarital affairs can her hypocrisy and disgusting nature be truly exposed.

"Then we'll wait for her to come back, Comrade Xiaochun. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Ruan Xiaochun nodded her little head, "Yes, Xiaochun trusts the commander."

She believed that the country would not let a true hero who loved the country shed blood and tears in vain.

Commander Cao's heart melted at her adorable appearance; she was such a lovely child.

"Comrade Xiaochun, please feel free to stay at the guesthouse. If you encounter any difficulties, just come and find me."

"Thank you, sir. Then I won't disturb your work any longer."

Ruan Xiaochun led Ruan Jianhua out of Commander Cao's office and pondered for a moment.

"Dad, let's go to the military hospital."

Sure enough, they found out that Fu Chen was not at the hospital but had gone to the countryside to provide support.

Su Mei must have gone to find Fu Chen.

After much deliberation, Ruan Xiaochun decided to go find Fu Chen as well.

She absolutely could not let Su Mei hide before Su Mei's pregnancy was exposed.

Xiao Chun quickly found out where Fu Chen had gone.

She took Ruan Jianhua on a bumpy journey to the Hongqi Brigade.

We took a bus and then an oxcart, and by the time we arrived, the sun was almost setting.

Looking at the village with wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys in the distance, Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little girl, the Red Flag Brigade Clinic is just ahead."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Ruan Jianhua slid off the oxcart, rubbing his backside, his face scrunched up in a grimace.

Xiaochun laughed when she saw this, "Dad, let Xiaochun touch it for you."

Ruan Jianhua hissed and jumped like a big frog.

"Xiaochun, don't touch me, you naughty Xiaochun."

"No, Xiaochun, let me touch you."

The sound of their laughter echoed along the uneven path.

Before they even arrived at the clinic, they saw a large crowd gathered at the entrance.

As soon as I walked in, I heard a chaotic murmur of voices.

"I heard that the one who died was a nurse from the military hospital."

"Yes, I heard he died a horrible death. Apparently, he was robbed on the road. It was so tragic."

"Oh dear, this is the third one this year. What a pity."

"If Old Zhu hadn't discovered it this morning, they probably would have been dragged away by wild animals."

It turns out someone was dead.

Xiao Chun moved forward and immediately spotted Xing Yong, who was investigating the crime scene.

"Captain Xing!"

Xing Yong's scalp tingled; what was this little girl doing here?

Xiao Chun ran over like a little pony, tilting her cute little face up, "Captain Xing, long time no see."

Xing Yong's lips twitched; it had only been a day.

What are you doing here?

Xiaochun grinned. "Xiaochun came with Su Mei. Commander Cao couldn't find her, so Xiaochun guessed she would come looking for Fu Chen and came along. That way, she wouldn't run away."

Well-reasoned and justified.

Xing Yong pointed to a spot not far away, "Su Mei is over there."

Xiao Chun looked in the direction he was pointing and saw Su Mei standing next to Fu Chen. "Officer, Dr. Fu has had a long day and needs to rest. Could you please ask her later?"

Fu Chen subconsciously pulled his hand to the side.

Ruan Xiaochun raised an eyebrow. Did Su Mei really think Fu Chen would save her?
