Chapter 91: Investigation – That’s the Regiment Commander’s Wife  

“Comrades of the patrol team, hurry up and arrest her!”  

“My name is Lin Xiu’er! My surname is Lin, not Jiang! I am Lin Xiu’er, not Jiang Rou! It’s not me! I swear it’s not me!”  

“If you don’t believe me, just go and ask! Just ask, and the truth will come out!”  

“I’ll prove it to you—I’ll call her name! Jiang Rou—Jiang Rou—”  

“As soon as I call her, she will turn around!”  

Lin Xiu’er clung to Jiang Rou like a drowning person grabbing onto the last straw, screaming desperately at the top of her lungs.  

She shrieked Jiang Rou’s name, her voice raw and hoarse.  

“Comrades! Look! Look! She turned around! I told you—she’s Jiang Rou! She’s the real daughter of the Jiang family! It’s not me! I swear, it’s not me!”  

Lin Xiu’er kept defending herself frantically.  

At the same time—  

Jiang Rou, who had just reached the street corner, instinctively turned back when she heard the shouting behind her.  

The moment she turned, her eyes locked onto Lin Xiu’er, who now looked utterly deranged. Like a venomous snake, Lin Xiu’er was staring at her with a cold, ruthless gaze.  

Damn it.  

This was bad.  

A flicker of unease rose in Jiang Rou’s heart.  

A deep, ominous feeling surged through her chest.  

She could even see the triumphant smirk curling at the corners of Lin Xiu’er’s lips—a smile of success, of manipulation.  

Just as the unease spread through her, Zhou Chongshan silently grasped her hand. At some point, Zhou Xiaochuan had also stepped in front of her, shielding her without a word.  

Not far away—  

The patrol officers had not believed Lin Xiu’er’s nonsense at first.

However, the message they received was to find a girl named “Jiang Rou.” who was approximately nineteen or twenty years old.

Every detail matched Jiang Rou perfectly.

It was as if everything Lin Xiu’er had said had come true.

This left people wondering.

Half of the inspection team held onto Lin Xiu’er, while the other half approached Jiang Rou.

They walked up to Jiang Rou and spoke up.

“Comrade, where are your documents? Please present your documents; we need to check.”

Before Jiang Rou could respond, Lin Xiu’er was still chattering behind her.

“It’s her! It really is her! She is the daughter of the Jiang family! If anyone should be taken away, it should be her. You all should hurry and arrest her…”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou frowned, and a realization dawned on her.

Lin Xiu’er had taken advantage of her after marriage and was now preparing to exploit her once again.

She had indeed treated the identity of “the daughter of the Jiang family” like a mere toy, something to be used or discarded as she pleased.

A cold smile blossomed in Jiang Rou’s heart.

After understanding Lin Xiu’er’s intentions, Jiang Rou calmed herself.

Just as she was about to speak up, Zhou Chongshan was a step ahead of her.

“Comrade, hello. She is my wife; if there’s anything to discuss, just speak to me directly.”

At first, the inspection team did not recognize the relationship between Jiang Rou and Zhou Chongshan.

However, once Zhou Chongshan spoke and they noticed the tall man dressed in a blue and white military uniform, their expressions immediately changed.

When they spoke again, even the tone of their conversation shifted.

“Comrades, we need to check the documents for both of you.”

Zhou Chongshan nodded.

He opened the pocket of his uniform, taking out his documents along with Jiang Rou’s, and handed them over.

The comrades of the Inspection Team opened the officer’s certificate. The first thing they saw was the Military Unit number, followed by… the rank—Regiment Commander.  

For people like them, encountering small Squad Leaders or Company Commanders was quite common, but coming across a battalion or regimental officer was no easy feat.  

The comrades of the Inspection Team turned Zhou Chongshan’s certificate over and over, examining it multiple times.  

Finally, with slightly trembling fingers, they returned it.  

“Zhou… Regiment Commander Zhou, our apologies. We made a mistake and caused you trouble.”  

Zhou Chongshan’s expression remained cold and stern. As he took back his certificate, he did not utter a single word.  

He was already tall, with rugged features, and the addition of a ferocious scar made him look exceptionally intimidating when he kept a straight face.  

The surroundings fell into complete silence—no one even dared to take a deep breath.  

The comrades of the Inspection Team became visibly nervous as well.  

Only Lin Xiu’er, who had not understood the situation at all, continued shouting loudly.  

“Did you see clearly? She is Jiang Rou! Hurry up and arrest her! Let me go! Hurry up and let me go! It’s not me! The person you should be arresting isn’t me!”  

The comrades of the Inspection Team were already holding back a belly full of frustration.  

Hearing Lin Xiu’er’s reckless shouting only made them angrier.  

Immediately, they snapped at her.  

“Shut up! That is Regiment Commander Zhou’s wife! She just had the misfortune of sharing the same name as you! If you dare spout nonsense again, watch out—I won’t be so polite!”  

Regi… Regiment Commander’s wife!  

The comrades’ shouting was heard by everyone in the crowd.  

They had all seen Zhou Chongshan in his military uniform, but none of them could tell what rank he held.

After all, he was dressed in simple attire and had no guards accompanying him.  

Most people had assumed he was just an ordinary soldier.  

Who would have thought that he was actually a Regiment Commander?

The onlookers were stunned.  

Lin Xiu’er was also stunned.  

Her eyes widened in terror as she stared at Jiang Rou and Zhou Chongshan in disbelief.  

Regiment Commander… How could he possibly be a Regiment Commander…  

Even if Jiang Rou had gotten married, she should have ended up with a crippled old man, or at most, just an ordinary soldier.  

But—  

As she stared at Zhou Chongshan, scrutinizing him over and over again, something about his rugged face gave her a sense of familiarity.  

Zhou…  

This man’s surname was Zhou…  

Zhou… Zhou… Zhou Chongshan!  

—  

Note:  

After Lin Xiu’er switched identities with Jiang Rou, she never changed her name. She still thought “Jiang Rou” sounded nice.  

So, on the household registry, the daughter of the Jiang family was still listed as “Jiang Rou.” and the person the Inspection Team was looking for was also “Jiang Rou.”
