Chapter 167: Taken Away

Wang Lijuan rolled her eyes, glanced at the direction the car left, and turned back into the house.

“Wu Liang, did you know? Captain Chen’s wife can drive!”

What?

Chen Mingchuan’s wife can drive?

Even Wu Liang was surprised.

“Where did you hear that? How could a woman from the countryside know how to drive?”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

Was she being ridiculous?

Wang Lijuan rolled her eyes at her husband. “Do I need to hear it? I just saw her driving out in Xiao Nan’s jeep!”

That’s amazing!

There were only a handful of officers in the entire division who could drive, and that Mrs. Li… actually knew how to drive?

Wu Liang shook his head in shock. “That’s unbelievable!”

But Wang Lijuan said, “What’s unbelievable? I think there’s something fishy about her.”

Wu Liang blinked. “What? Fishy?”

“Yes.”

Wang Lijuan nodded. “Think about it, how could a rural woman know how to drive?”

“Is driving that easy?”

“Think about it, can you drive?”

That was true. Even soldiers who wanted to learn how to drive had to spend half a year.

After they learned, they had to go through several refresher courses before they could fully master the driving skills.

There was no place to learn in the countryside.

How could a woman know how to drive? He, a man, couldn’t.

Wu Liang also felt something was wrong. “So you think?”

Wang Lijuan rolled her eyes. “Don’t you think she might be a spy?”

“Impossible!”

This time, Wu Liang immediately denied it.

Wang Lijuan looked unconvinced. “Why is it impossible? What if her family is a group of undercover agents, and she’s a spy!”

“Think about it, if she’s not a spy, how could a regular rural woman know how to drive?”

That made sense.

Wu Liang suddenly lost his confidence.

His wife was more thoughtful than him.

“Then what should we do?”

Wang Lijuan clenched her fist. “Report her immediately, what are we waiting for!”

“If we really catch a spy, you’ll be a hero! You might even get promoted this year, it’s definitely possible!”

If it was true, he would be a hero.

However, Wu Liang was still hesitant. He felt that this matter was too serious. If he was wrong, he would offend Chen Mingchuan.

But what if it was true?

After thinking for a while, Wu Liang gritted his teeth. “I’ll go to the security department and report her strange behavior later!”

“We must not let go of any enemy elements!”

Of course!

They weren’t prejudiced against anyone, they were just highly ideologically conscious!

Wang Lijuan smiled. “Yes, yes, yes! We’re not reporting her, we’re just reflecting on it!”

“The superiors have already said that we should report any suspicious matters to the superiors in time.”

“I think you should report it to Secretary Xu. He will take this matter seriously, others might not.”

Secretary Xu?

There was only one Secretary Xu in the division’s security department… His wife was right, others might be afraid of offending people…

Wu Liang thought for a moment, grabbed his clothes and went out.

At this time, Li Xinyue, who was leaving the west gate, didn’t know that someone was about to report her.

The soldier on duty today was from Chen Mingchuan’s company.

When she drove to the west gate, the soldier on duty, Squad Leader  Wu, was surprised as if he had seen a ghost. “Sister-in-law…”

Li Xinyue smiled at him. “Xiao Wu, you’re on duty?”

Squad Leader  Wu nodded quickly. “Sister-in-law, you can drive?”

Li Xinyue smiled sweetly. “It’s not that difficult. I used to drive tractors for my brother at the quarry many times.”

“Cars are all the same, once you understand, you can drive them.”

Squad Leader Wu: “…”

“What kind of wife did our battalion commander marry? She even knows how to drive!”

“Sister-in-law, slow down, the mountain road isn’t easy to navigate.”

“I know, don’t worry.”

Having a car was fast. It only took ten minutes to reach the burnt forest.

Parking the car on the side of the road, Li Xinyue grabbed a basket and a hoe from the backseat and quickly turned onto the mountain path…

Arriving early and having a car, Li Xinyue didn’t hold back.

She had to dig up as much as she could today!

After a period of busy work, the sun reached its zenith, and she had already sent backpacks of Adenophora to the car.

Her stomach was a little hungry, so Li Xinyue decided to go home for lunch and come back later.

But just then, a “coo-coo-coo” sound of a wild chicken caught her attention.

Could it be that yesterday she was waiting for the hare to run into the trap, and today she would be waiting for the chicken to run into the trap?

My God, am I not the daughter of heaven?

Li Xinyue was a little excited!

After all, the books all said that time-traveling women all had lucky charms.

And although Heaven hadn’t given her a space or a system, it wasn’t impossible that she had a lucky charm!

So she quietly crept towards the sound, suddenly “Bang” a colorful wild chicken flew out of the bushes…

“It got away! What a pity!”

Failing to catch the wild chicken, Li Xinyue rolled her eyes several times: Heaven, am I just your illegitimate daughter?

She was really unwilling to go back just like that.

The bushes were not small, Li Xinyue pushed aside the branches and looked inside: Although the wild chicken had flown away, she discovered a tree of wood ear mushrooms.

Because of the sunny weather, the wood ear mushrooms were half-dried.

Good stuff, couldn’t miss it, she immediately went into the bushes…

Wow!

After going in, Li Xinyue immediately smiled: Okay, Heaven is good, even an illegitimate daughter has some benefits!

In the bushes, a wild chicken nest was full of wild eggs!

Picking up the nest and counting, there were thirteen!

A feast!

Picking two pockets of dried black fungus, holding the chicken nest, and carrying the last basket of Adenophora, Li Xinyue excitedly went down the mountain.

Reaching the river, she parked the car and then went back and forth several times to wash the Adenophora in the river.

The sun was already high, Li Xinyue quickly loaded everything into the car and went home for lunch.

Having a car, it was convenient to come and go.

Soon, she returned to the west gate of the military base and switched with the soldier on duty.

But they were all soldiers from the artillery battalion, and they all knew her.

“Sister-in-law, you’re back? Hurry back, someone’s looking for you.”

What do you mean?

Why should I hurry back?

Could it be that Chen Mingchuan had news?

Li Xinyue was a little excited, she stepped on the gas, and the car sped off…

“You’re back!”

As soon as the car stopped, several soldiers immediately surrounded it, guns in hand.

Li Xinyue was a little confused: What happened?

“You…”

“Comrade Li Xinyue, hello! I’m  Officer Xu, a staff member from the Security Department. Please come with us to the Security Department.”

Security Department?

Isn’t that the department that handles security work in the Political Department?

What do they want me for?

Li Xinyue didn’t think much of it and immediately agreed: “Wait a minute, can I go inside and have a drink of water?”

But…

Xu Yang’s face darkened: “Comrade Li Xinyue, we have tea prepared over there, let’s go have some.”

“Come on, take her away!”

Take her away?

Now Li Xinyue was dumbfounded!

What crime have I committed?

“Comrade Xu, am I a criminal?”

“Can the words ‘take away’ be used casually on military dependents?”

Xu Yang’s face tightened upon hearing this: “Comrade Li, whether you are a criminal or not will be known after the investigation.”

“Let’s go, you have been reported.”

What big thing did I do to have someone report me to the Security Department?
