Chapter 13: The Nan Tuan Is Not Something You Can Meddle With.

“You have the qualifications. You studied medicine, understand the properties of drugs, and getting this kind of medicine wouldn’t be difficult. You’d better tell the truth. The Nan Tuan is not something you can meddle with. Come clean and you’ll get a lighter sentence. Otherwise, once I find out, the consequences… you won’t be able to bear them. Do you want to be expelled from the military and sent back to your hometown?”

Liu Zhendong knew that if this matter wasn’t handled well, the fiery-tempered Wen Yanyan would absolutely not let it go.

Once she made a fuss, even the gods would have a headache. And if she escalated it to higher authorities…

Regardless of whether it was true or not, his unit would gain a bad reputation, something he, as a unit leader, was most unwilling to see.

He could sacrifice his life, but the military’s prestige could not be trampled upon!

Zhang Meimei, upon hearing her superior’s words, immediately felt her pupils dilate, and her body swayed.

What?

Expulsion from the military? Was it that serious?

“Commander Liu, if I tell the truth, can you help me reduce the punishment?”

She dared not risk her future, because the aphrodisiac was mailed to her by a classmate from another place.

The army could easily investigate and find out. Originally, she could have made it seamless, but it was all thanks to that ungrateful, stupid woman!

She had been put in such a passive position!

“Speak. Let me hear it.”

Liu Zhendong furrowed his brows.

“Commander, I acted rashly.” Zhang Meimei admitted, lowering her head.

He flew into a rage.

“How could you do this? How could you be so reckless? Has all the education you received in the army these years gone to the dogs?”

Zhang Meimei’s face turned pale, her knees buckled, and with a thud, she knelt down.

“Commander, I know I was wrong. I can apologize to Nan Jue, write a self-criticism, do anything, just don’t expel me from the military. My mother’s health isn’t good; if she finds out, she’ll fall ill. Wuu… ”

Her tears flowed like a faucet, once opened, they wouldn’t stop.

Liu Zhendong turned his head to the side.

“What’s the use of crying? When you did this, didn’t you think there would be a day like this?”

“Commander, Wen Yanyan and I are good friends. She said that Nan Tuan hadn’t been with her after their marriage, and I felt sorry for her, so I… But I never thought she would… turn her back on me. I did it for her sake.”

Zhang Meimei still didn’t reveal her true motive of coveting Nan Jue.

Because only she knew the motive. If she didn’t say it, no one would know.

“That’s a matter between husband and wife. What are you meddling in? Even with the best of friends, you can’t come up with such an idea. If nothing happens, that’s fine, but what if something happens? What if someone dies?”

The facts proved that Liu Zhendong’s worries were not unfounded; the original Wen Yanyan had already died because of this.

“Commander, no one will die because the dosage… was very small.”

Zhang Meimei explained softly.

“Small or not, it’s not allowed! What you did is very serious. I can’t decide this alone; we need to hold a meeting. Go back and wait for the results of the punishment.” Liu Zhendong held his forehead. He never expected such a shameful thing to happen right under his nose.

He had been negligent! Negligent!

“Commander, I’ve confessed. Can we hold an internal meeting? Don’t make this public. I’ll accept any punishment.” Zhang Meimei cautiously suggested.

“Sigh!”

Liu Zhendong sighed and said, “I’ll consider it. Hey, why are you still kneeling? Get up!”

He needed to carefully consider this. He had been a soldier for decades, and this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

Zhang Meimei finally stood up, timidly saying, “Commander, then… I’ll go.”

“Go, go, go quickly.”

Liu Zhendong waved his hand in annoyance.

…

Wen Yanyan waited for about twenty minutes and finally saw Zhang Meimei walk out of headquarters. She was lowering her head, but even with her head down, one could see her ashen face.

Wen Yanyan quickly caught up from behind, cruelly rubbing salt into her wounds.

“Hey, how is it? You’re not being stubborn this time, are you? The feeling of being criticized isn’t very pleasant, is it?”

Humph, she wasn’t going to be kind; she was going to gloat! So what?!

Zhang Meimei stopped, turned around sharply, and her originally beautiful almond-shaped eyes were now filled with terrifying bloodshot veins.

“Who are you? Who are you?!”

Her angry voice was filled with suppressed roars. Was this woman still the fool she knew? The woman who was always submissive and flattering to her, believing everything she said?

How could she have changed so much?

“I’m Wen Yanyan, Zhang Meimei. What’s wrong with you? Did you suffer amnesia?”

Wen Yanyan just smiled and taunted her.

Zhang Meimei glared at her fiercely, as if she wanted to stare a hole through her, finally squeezing a few words from between her teeth, “Wen Yanyan, I’ve gotten to know you today! We’ll see!”

She left.

Wen Yanyan scoffed.

“Heh! You have quite a temper. Fine, I’ll wait. If you have the ability, try to fight me for a man. Don’t think I don’t know your schemes~”

She stood there, arms crossed, watching the white figure gradually disappear into the distance, her playful gaze gradually turning serious.
