Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"So, Zhao Ruirui's pregnancy was affected by having sex with someone else?"

Xiao Zhan frowned and asked.

Wen Liangyu nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I found out. I asked Zhao Ruirui in private, and she admitted that she had slept with all of them."

"It was because we did it too frequently that the pregnancy was affected."

Xiao Zhan frowned and asked, "Why did Zhao Ruirui hide the timing of her pregnancy? Three months and four months is only a month apart. Is there some significance to this?"

Wen Liangyu shook her head and said, "I don't know about that."

"After I finished examining Zhao Ruirui, that big shot asked me how many months pregnant Zhao Ruirui was. I told him that she was more than three months pregnant. I saw that the big shot looked very happy and even had Li Chaobing give me 10,000 yuan as a reward for my hard work."

Xiao Zhan asked, "And then what happened?"

Wen Liangyu continued, "Later, I gave Zhao Ruirui an injection to prevent miscarriage, prescribed her medication to support the pregnancy, and told her that she should not have sex for a month, otherwise the fetus would be in danger. Then I came back."

Xiao Zhan thought for a moment, then looked up at Jia Fugui and Wen Liangyu and said, "Dean Jia, Dr. Wen, let's leave it at that. Don't tell anyone about this anymore. You should know there's something going on here. Be careful what you say."

Upon hearing this, Jia Fugui and Wen Liangyu's expressions changed, and they nodded in unison.

"Beep beep beep".

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan's phone rang. Seeing that it was Xia Keke calling, he answered and asked, "Where are you?"

Xia Keke said on the other end of the phone, "I'm at the entrance of the People's Hospital."

Xiao Zhan: "Wait a moment, I'll be right down."

Xiao Zhan put away his phone and asked, "Dr. Wen, is it okay for Ai'ai to go back to school after the Spring Festival?"

Wen Liangyu: "Of course there's no problem. Ai Ai has almost recovered now, but even when she goes to school, she should avoid strenuous exercise. She can walk briskly, and it will take about a year before she can gradually return to normal exercise. She should also have a check-up every three months and regular check-ups for the next three years. If there are no problems after three years, she can be considered fully recovered."

Xiao Zhan stood up and said, "Let's call it a day then."

five minutes later,

Xiao Zhan got into Xia Keke's car.

As Xia Keke started the car and drove, she asked, "How's your lovemaking recovery going?"

Xiao Zhan: "The recovery is going quite well."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "I just heard Dr. Wen say that he went to a certain place to treat Zhao Ruirui. Zhao Ruirui had a miscarriage. Dr. Wen said it was caused by excessive sexual activity. Li Chaobing and that big shot from the Municipal Bureau were also there. The big shot even asked Dr. Wen to check Zhao Ruirui's exact gestation period."

"I think there's more to this than meets the eye."

Xia Keke was somewhat surprised and raised an eyebrow, asking, "A bigwig from the Municipal Public Security Bureau? You mean Meng Jianping, the Deputy Mayor and Chief of the Municipal Police Bureau?"

Xiao Zhan forced a smile and said, "It's him."

Xia Keke asked incredulously, "Is Zhao Ruirui connected to all of them, or just one of them?"

Xiao Zhan smirked and said, "According to Dr. Wen's examination, Zhao Ruirui's pregnancy was caused by frequent and excessive activity. Zhao Ruirui secretly admitted that it was related to both of them."

Xia Keke was immediately enraged and angrily cursed, "Beast, trash, worse than pigs and dogs, a dog that doesn't deserve to be called human, you even went after her pregnant mother."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "Zhao Ruirui's willingness to maintain a relationship with them under these circumstances is both a helpless act and an exchange of benefits. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done it. I think we should investigate her secretly."

Xia Keke understood the implication in Xiao Zhan's words and raised an eyebrow, saying, "You mean you want me to send someone to investigate the specific reason?"

Xiao Zhan said seriously, "Right now, only your National Security Bureau has the capability and authority to investigate. After all, Meng Jianping and Li Chaobing are of high rank, and as police officers, their counter-surveillance awareness and methods are not to be underestimated. It's not easy for you to alert them by conducting a secret investigation."

Xia Keke pondered for a moment. She had always been very efficient and decisive, so without further ado, she picked up her phone and made the call...

"Beep beep beep".

The call connected, and Zhang Guoqiang asked, "What instructions does Director Xia have?"

Xia Keke said in a deep voice, "Immediately put Meng Jianping and Li Chaobing under 24-hour surveillance and investigate all their activities within the past week. Hand over the materials to me before dawn tomorrow."

Zhang Guoqiang, on the other end of the phone, paused for a moment after hearing this, then asked, "Director Xia, is this Meng Jianping from the city?"

Xia Keke: "It's him."

Zhang Guoqiang said with a wry smile, "Director Xia, monitoring deputy ministerial-level officials requires the approval of higher-ups and a written authorization."

The deputy mayor of Beijing is a full-fledged vice-ministerial level official, so Meng Jianping is also a centrally managed cadre.

Xia Keke: "You guys investigate first. I'll report to Vice Minister Chen immediately. We'll supplement the materials later. Captain Zhang, you need to be quick, understand?"

Chen Hongwei, former director of the International Intelligence Bureau of the State Security Bureau, has now been promoted to vice minister of state security and concurrently serves as director of the Counter-Espionage and Investigation Bureau.

Zhang Guoqiang hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone before saying, "Director Xia, cases involving vice-ministerial level officials are not under our department's jurisdiction. What we are doing is a violation of regulations."

Xia Keke's tone hardened as she said, "Zhang Guoqiang, just carry out my orders. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

"Meng Jianjun is the director of the Municipal Police Bureau and also serves as the Party Secretary of the Municipal State Security Bureau. Anyone related to the State Security Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the State Security Headquarters. Zhang Guoqiang, if you don't want to do it, I'll let someone else do it. Don't think that I can't put on the Eight Great Bowls without you. These days, the earth will still turn no matter who leaves."

Seeing that Xia Keke was really angry, Zhang Guoqiang quickly said, "Director Xia, don't be angry. I'll take my men and get to work right away."

Actually, he was doing it for Xia Keke's own good. If such an investigation with incomplete procedures were discovered by higher-ups, the consequences could range from imprisonment or dismissal from public office to a severe warning and demerit, and being unable to be promoted for several years.

Xia Keke hung up the phone, her pretty face flushed with anger, and said sullenly, "Zhang Guoqiang is becoming more and more disobedient."

Xiao Zhan said to Zhang Guoqiang, "It is indeed against regulations for you to investigate a centrally-managed vice-ministerial level official like this. He was just afraid you would make a mistake and incur responsibility. He was doing this for your own good, how can you not distinguish between right and wrong!"

"Why!"

Xia Keke sighed and said, "Many things are legitimate, but what you're doing now is even more irregular, unethical, and illegal."

"Aren't you doing it too?"

Xiao Zhan's eyes flickered a few times, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out. Xia Ke could see that she had already said so much, but Xiao Zhan was not responding.

So she feigned displeasure and said, "Xiao Zhan, it's come to this, aren't you going to tell me the truth? I already told you everything, I even showed you what color my leggings are. Aren't you being a little distrustful of me?"

Xiao Zhan grinned and said, "Hehehe, don't be so ambiguous, okay? If others hear us, they'll think we've really done something shameful."

Xia Keke rolled her eyes and said in a confrontational tone, "I do want to do something shady with you, but you won't, and now you're making sarcastic remarks to me!"

"Xiao Zhan, even a clay Buddha has some temper. If you still don't tell me the truth after you meet Deng Zhi tonight, you can do it all by yourself. I don't want to die an unclear and meaningless death."

Xiao Zhan stared into Xia Keke's beautiful eyes and said, "Alright, after I meet Deng Zhi, if I decide to let you cooperate with me, I will tell you everything you want to know."

Are you satisfied with my answer?

"squeak!"

Xia Keke stopped the car and said with a smile, "That's more like it."

Xiao Zhan looked up and saw that they had arrived at the entrance of the Dark Fragrance Tea Restaurant, and Deng Zhi's luxury Cullinan was parked right there...

As soon as Xiao Zhan got out of the car, he saw Deng Ying walking towards him with a smile, sweetly calling out, "Brother Zhan, you're here!"
