Chapter 396 1 It's all fate!
At dawn, Meng Peiyu looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, feeling a vague unease in her heart.
After resting, her head was finally not so dizzy anymore, and her arms and legs were no longer sore.
However, I still have diarrhea, diarrhea all day long. I suspected that Meng Linyu's cooking was unclean, but I never suspected that the instant noodles were spoiled.
Sang Sheng returned with the news: "Miss, I heard that the Northeast Army came to help, and the fire has been brought under control!"
Meng Peiyu's eyes lit up: "Who came over? They were so far away, how did they get here!"
"Miss, the leader who came is surnamed Lu, but I can't find out any more details!"
"Lu Yuan?" Meng Peiyu's eyes dimmed for a moment: "Junyan didn't come!"
Liang Fanqi immediately chimed in, "I told you Chen Junyan wasn't as promising as Lu Yuan, but you didn't believe me."
"Can those who receive family assistance be compared to those who rely on their own hard work?"
Meng Peiyu glared at her and continued, "Aren't the local troops enough? Why are they bringing in people from the Northeast?"
Sang Sheng hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Commander He heard that the fire was related to you, and took the initiative to send people over to help. Perhaps, he wants to compensate you!"
Meng Peiyu slapped the ground: "How dare he, how dare he!"
They haven't even investigated properly, yet they're throwing mud at me. I think they have a death wish!
Meng Peiyu twitched her fingers, and a wisp of black smoke drifted out.
Meng Linyu shuddered, feeling that her sister was terrifying.
Meng Guohao whispered to her, "Do you think my older sister set the fire or not?"
"No!" Meng Linyu had a feeling that this matter was related to Meng Peiyu, but she wouldn't expose her sister.
After venting her anger, Meng Peiyu calmed down and said, "We can't stay here anymore, let's go!"
"Why, why?" Meng Guohao felt that the past two days had been quite comfortable and he didn't want to leave so soon.
"Lu Yuan must have taken on other missions. He might come looking for us as soon as the fire is out."
We're both wanted criminals now. Do you want to be caught and executed, or go abroad and live a carefree life?
"But we didn't kill or set fires, so if we're caught, we'll just get a lecture at most."
"At that point, just say you were terrified and hid; at most, your sentence will be extended by a few years."
Meng Guohao, in a fit of despair, declared: "Anyway, I'm already this rotten..."
Meng Peiyu slapped him on the back of the head: "Don't want to find Xiao..."
"Sister, sister, don't say that! I'll listen to you, I'll do whatever you say!"
Meng Guohao hurriedly covered Meng Peiyu's mouth, and glanced guiltily at Meng Hongsheng.
Liang Fanqi asked excitedly, "The girl Xiao Hao likes has the surname Xiao? Who in Kyoto has the surname Xiao? Could it be...?"
"Mom, stop guessing, it's not true!" Meng Guohao interrupted impatiently, "Alright, alright, let's listen to my sister's arrangements, whatever she says, we'll do!"
Meng Peiyu thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave the city when it gets dark."
Turning to Sang Sheng, she said, "I want to call Junyan!"
"Miss, this will expose our whereabouts!"
"If we don't call this time, we don't know when we'll be able to get in touch again."
"You're in this state, why are you still contacting him? Maybe the military has already arranged for him to divorce you!"
Sang Sheng was absolutely right about that.
After being taken away, Chen Junyan cooperated fully and spoke candidly about his interactions with the other man.
Meng Peiyu's abnormality gradually came to light, but labels such as "abundant resources" and "strong jealousy" could only indicate that she was indulging in pleasure and had poor character, and could not be used to convict her.
However, since he had committed a crime that affected the image of the military, it was suggested that Chen Junyan get a divorce.
Chen Junyan remained silent: "Can I stay in the army without you?"
"We can't make that decision."
The order from higher-ups was to suspend Meng Peiyu from her duties until she was arrested and her crimes were thoroughly investigated before taking final action.
Commander Chen, whether you can stay in the army or not, having a wife like this will not help your future.
"While the leaders are still concerned, it's best to resolve this matter. Otherwise, it will affect my future prospects."
Chen Junyan closed his eyes briefly and nodded: "Okay!"
The man stood up: "Okay, I'll help you with the formalities."
"It's fortunate you didn't leak any military secrets, and you two don't have children, otherwise, this matter wouldn't have ended so well."
Chen Junyan's lips twitched as he thought of the fertility pills that Meng Peiyu had put away.
It was hard to tell whether it was sarcasm or relief: "It's all fate!"
"You're right, even God is on your side!"
Chen Junyan murmured, "If they really wanted to help me, they wouldn't have let us meet in the first place..."
His voice was too low for the interrogators to hear. They glanced at him suspiciously, saw his tired expression, sighed, and left.

At the foot of the mountain, after finishing her meal, Qiao Manman went to make the ointment.
With the help of Xia Zhao and other medical staff, the medicinal materials decreased at a visible rate, but the ointment filled two large jars.
Qiao Manman wanted to take him up the mountain, but Yuan Yarong stopped her: "You're slow on your feet, let Xiao Zhao go!"
“I can run very fast!” she explained.
"We don't need you! You're a good doctor, so stay here and take care of things!" With that, she snatched the ointment and went to find Zhao Chang.
Qiao Manman pouted: "Fine, I'll take care of other things!"
Ma Dandan asked, "Aren't you sleepy?"
She hadn't slept for a day and a night, and her eyelids were almost too heavy to lift.
"Luckily, I'm a night owl!" Qiao Manman had just finished speaking when she let out a big yawn, which made everyone around her laugh.
She didn't mind, stretched, and went to help the head chef cook.
It was pitch black at night, and the head chef didn't pay much attention while kneading the dough. When it got light, he was horrified when he saw what was happening.
"Oh my god, what's going on?" They grabbed anyone they could find and asked, "Has someone come to deliver supplies?"
"No, it's the same as before, what's wrong?"
"What? There's more grain!" The head chef exclaimed in a panic, pointing at the rice and flour. "Didn't you see? There are several more bags!"
"You must be mistaken. Someone could secretly come and deliver food?" The young soldier smiled and didn't take it seriously.
The head chef also thought it was impossible, but he was certain that he hadn't made a mistake.
Qiao Manman came over, and the head chef pulled her aside again to confirm: "Girl, when you were watching my things yesterday, did you see any strangers?"
Qiao Manman immediately became "nervous": "Did you lose something?"
"No, no, there are just more things!"
Qiao Manman patted her chest: "You scared me! I thought I was seeing things!"
Uncle, don't make a fuss. Maybe some kind person sent supplies here when you weren't looking.
No matter where it came from, as long as the items are genuine and we use them responsibly, then our efforts won't have been wasted.
The master chef thought about it and agreed. He opened the bag of rice and flour, smelled it, rubbed it, and tasted it.
After confirming that the rice and flour were all of good quality, my nervousness subsided considerably: "Well, let me make some noodles to try first, and if I'm sure there's nothing wrong with them, then I'll share them with everyone."
"It's only right to be cautious. I'll go with you and be the one to test the poison!"
Qiao Manman grabbed a handful of rice: "Let's make some rice porridge, I want to drink it!"
"Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense, we'll definitely be safe and sound!"
He then placed a small pot on the stove, poured in hot water, and told Qiao Manman to put the rice in.
Qiao Manman nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, even if someone tries to sabotage us, we won't waste food!"
