Yun Jingting asked calmly, "Tian Xiner, what's the deal with the birthday present you gave me? Tell me! I'm listening! "
Tian Xiner twisted the corner of her shirt. "I … this …"
She stared at Tong Che pleadingly. "Brother, are you looking at Third Brother Yun?"
Yun Jingting snorted knowingly. "Why are you looking at me? You lied to me, so why can't I keep a straight face? "
"I … Who lied to you?" Tian Xiner threw a tantrum and threw the spoon in her hand onto the table. "I gave you a present out of goodwill, but I gave it to the wrong person? I was wondering why you suddenly wanted to send me back here. So you wanted to interrogate me in front of my brother? Great, you want to interrogate me, don't you? I'll just … pretend I don't know anything! No matter what you ask? I only have one answer: I don't know, I don't know! I don't know! "
Interrogate her?
Pretend I don't know anything!
This girl had learned to be sharp-tongued.
Before Yun Jingting could say anything, Tong Che smiled dotingly. "Xiner, be good. Don't throw a tantrum!"
Tian Xiner saw that her brother had spoken, so she didn't dare to retort. She muttered softly, "I won't! Do whatever you want? I won't serve you! "
She got up and went back to the bedroom.
Yun Jingting was used to leading troops. She slammed the coffee table hard and seemed to be lecturing her. "Stop right there! Who allowed you to leave? Tell me clearly … "
Tong Che hurriedly stopped her. "Tiger, don't yell at Xiner. Look at your face. You look like you want to eat someone. Any girl who sees you … will be scared away immediately!"
Seeing that Yun Jingting was still unwilling to let her off, he had no choice but to use his trump card. "It seems that other than Mi Xaing 'er, all the other girls in the world are a little afraid of you!"
Sure enough …
The moment he mentioned Mi Xaing 'er …
Yun Laohu's anger immediately subsided.
It had been more than a year …
This was also the first time Tong Che had mentioned the name "Mi Xaing 'er" in front of Yun Laohu. In the past, he had always avoided talking about it because he was afraid of making her sad … But today, Tong Che had already figured out what was going on, so he decided not to hold back. "Old Tiger, can you listen to me for a moment?"
Yun Jingting knew that Tong Che was an extremely wise and farsighted person. He was open-minded and had his own independent judgment. He was very convincing when it came to dealing with problems … so he straightened his back and answered formally, "Brother Tong, go ahead!"
Tong Che stood up, but he didn't go straight to the point. "Tiger, shall I make you a cup of tea? I smell alcohol on you. Did you drink before you came? "
"Yes! I had a few drinks at the Military Commissar's house! "
Tong Che raised his eyebrows in puzzlement. "Since you were drinking at someone else's place, why did you come back so early?"
Suddenly, he pursed his lips and smiled. "I can probably guess the reason behind it! Tiger, is the Military Commissar concerned about your personal life again? You didn't get angry, right? Please don't! He had good intentions! "
His brain reacted very quickly, and he immediately understood the whole story.
Yun Laohu looked at him a little resentfully. "Brother Tong, you can't joke about this! Don't you know what happened between Mi Xaing 'er and me? I'll wait for her! I'll wait resolutely! I also believe that she'll come back sooner or later! She's the only wife I have in this lifetime. What other personal problems have I not solved? "
Tong Che slowly brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Yun Jingting. "Tiger, I won't beat around the bush! We all know why Mi Xaing 'er left in the first place. She's a stubborn, arrogant, and independent woman! I thought that … before her problem was solved, she wouldn't come back. Even if she was in the city, she might not necessarily meet you. What's the use of looking for her and even forcing her out? "
Yun Jingting's eyes were burning with hope. "Brother Tong, does this mean that Mi Xaing 'er is really back? Do you know … where she is now? "
Tong Che shook his head. "I don't know!"
His voice was low and sexy. "Tian Xiner might know! She's not your opponent. You can get the results you want with just a few words! But if she doesn't want to say it, I can't make things difficult for her! I won't allow you to force her to answer! Also, I thought that if Mi Xaing 'er didn't come to you voluntarily, she would still try her best to avoid you even if you used all kinds of methods to meet her! "
"…"
"Unless you have a way to redress her problem as soon as possible!"
Redress her problem as soon as possible?
How could Yun Laohu not want to?
He was more eager than anyone else to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
However, "Brother Tong, how can it be so easy to investigate the anonymous letters? To be honest, I've been investigating this for almost a year. The anonymous letters are sent to the Military Region and the Revolutionary Committee on time every month, but the postmark on each letter is different. It's from the East District to the West District, and from the South District to the North District. The city is so big, and there are thousands of mailboxes. I can't possibly arrange for someone to wait at every mailbox … 24 hours a day, right? "
Yun Laohu rubbed his hands on his thighs in frustration. "To be honest, although I have a few suspects, I don't have any concrete evidence for this kind of thing. What's the use of just guessing? What can I do? Arrest the person and give him a beating? Extort a confession from Tencent? Threaten and bribe? "
Tong Che lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Indeed! The person who sent the letters is so cunning. Only the person closest to him would have the chance to find out the problem, but it's difficult! Since it's someone close to him, why would he testify and expose him? "
He patted Yun Jingting's shoulder comfortingly. "Old Tiger, what I mean is … don't be anxious! Keep calm! Since you've waited for two years, a few more days won't make a difference! Give Mi Xaing 'er some time. Wait until she's settled everything, then she'll come out to see you calmly! "
Don't be anxious?
Wait?
Yun Laohu disagreed. "Brother Tong, anyone can say nice things! You're not me. You'll never understand how I feel! "
His eyes were filled with pain. "I'm a man. I didn't protect my woman well, but I let her … I feel terrible! I've been tormented by self-blame for the past two years! If I find out where Mi Xaing 'er is, I won't wait another day. I'll rush over to find her regardless of anything. No one can persuade me otherwise! "
He paused for a moment. "I won't interrogate Tian Xiner because I know you're protecting her and don't want to see her in a difficult position! But I'll put it this way. I don't believe that if Mi Xaing 'er is in this city, I don't care about her situation or whether her problem is solved or not! I'll find her even if I have to dig three feet into the ground! "
After he finished speaking, he got up to leave …
Tong Che quickly stopped him. "Old Tiger, don't be so agitated. Think about it carefully …"
Yun Jingting reached out and pushed him. "Brother Tong, don't try to persuade me. You know … I won't recognize anyone if I get angry! Especially when it comes to Mi Xaing 'er! I'm leaving! "
After he finished speaking, he opened the door and plunged into the night …
The cold wind was bone-chilling, and snowflakes danced in the air …
Yun Jingting tightened the fur scarf around his neck. As he felt the warmth of the fur, he swore to himself … Xiang 'er, I'll be right there! This time, don't you ever think of escaping from me!
**
Mi Xaing 'er stood opposite the entrance of the military district …
She watched as the Tian Xiner ran across the road and rolled up his sleeves, cursing at Jiang Tingting. She wasn't in the mood to look at that. All her attention was on Yun Jingting. She hated that she couldn't imprint the image of this man in her mind.
However …
She immediately noticed that Yun Jingting's action of touching the scarf was a little strange … After all, they were husband and wife. They had helped each other in difficult times, and their hearts were connected. They understood each other, so with Mi Xaing 'er's intelligence, she could roughly guess what Yun Laohu was thinking just by looking at him.
At this moment … Mi Xaing 'er saw him looking down hesitantly. Her heart skipped a beat. She knew what he was going to do.
Just as expected …
Yun Laohu quickly looked up in her direction. Mi Xaing 'er simply dodged and hid in the alley. She thought … now wasn't the time for them to meet, especially in front of Jiang Tingting. She gritted her teeth, turned around, and left.
She walked out of the alley, got on the bus, and sat in the back seat. She quietly leaned her head against the window. The cold glass seemed to have a calming effect. It felt exceptionally comfortable against her burning forehead and cheeks.
Mi Xaing 'er took a deep breath and looked into the night. Her face was as calm as water, but her heart was pounding.
It was better not to see him!
When she didn't see Yun Laohu, she also told herself, "Wait a little longer. Wait until the problem is completely solved. Isn't it just a matter of a month?"
But when she saw him … everything seemed to be different. Her heart wavered a little.
To put it bluntly, she really restrained herself just now. That was why she didn't rush into Yun Jingting's arms.
Really!
She really wanted to grab her husband's hands immediately … tell him the hardships of being pregnant for ten months. She wanted to share every detail of her pregnancy with him. She also wanted to tell him that they had a son and every moment of the child's growth.
However …
For the sake of her husband's future, she didn't do that … She could only turn around and leave silently.
She took the bus home. She felt like she was floating. Her eyes kept turning back and forth in front of her, thinking about Yun Laohu's tall figure and handsome face. She didn't know how she entered the house until Feng Xiuzhu touched her forehead. "Xiang 'er, what's wrong with you? You went out for a trip, and you came back in a daze. "
Mi Xaing 'er seemed to have just woken up from a dream. She pursed her lips and smiled. "Sister Xiuzhu, I saw him!"
"Who? Huh? Your man? "Feng Xiuzhu understood immediately." Look at how happy you are! How is he? Is he okay? Did you talk to him? "
Mi Xaing 'er shook her head. "I didn't talk to him! I still can't see him now. He's a soldier with a bright future. He loves his career the most. I don't want to put him in a difficult position … It's still the same word: wait! When the time is right, I'll go and see him openly! I'll bring the child to see him! "
Wait?
Even though she said that, Mi Xaing 'er really couldn't wait.
Early the next morning …
She arrived at the door of the rehabilitation office early in the morning and was the first in line. When the door was opened, she immediately rushed in.
The receptionist was a woman in her forties. Her surname was Liu. She was friendly and enthusiastic. When she saw her, she smiled bitterly. "Comrade Xiao Mi, why are you here again? Didn't I already explain to you? Our office has a lot of cases to handle now. Here, take a look at my file … "
She gestured to the few big cabinets by the wall. "… I'm afraid I have a few thousand cases on hand. The office has to prioritize the investigation. According to the instructions from the higher-ups, we have to deal with some cases that involve more people, have a bigger impact, and are of a more serious nature …"
When she saw that Mi Xaing 'er was about to speak, she quickly reached out to stop her. "I mean … I'm not saying that your case isn't important! But we have to take it slow. I only have two pairs of hands and there are only six people in the office. Comrade Xiao Mi, please understand! "
She was very polite and considerate, making it impossible for anyone to refute her …
Comrade Liu could probably understand Mi Xiang 'er's urgency. He paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Every family has its own difficulties. How can it be so easy to solve a case that has been unjust for ten years? Unless …"
Mi Xaing 'er stared with her eyes wide open. "Unless what?"
"Silly girl, unless someone from the higher-ups speaks for you! I advise you, if you want to solve this as soon as possible, you'd better find someone else! Go to the city or the province. The more important the higher-ups are, the better! "
This …
His words woke her up from her daze.
Mi Xaing 'er smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Comrade Liu! I won't be coming over from tomorrow onwards. Anyway, I've already handed over the materials that I need to submit … I'll think of something myself! "
Comrade Liu stood up enthusiastically. "That's great! You really don't have to come every day! I'll send you off … "
"No need! I'll go by myself, thank you! "
Mi Xaing 'er had already made up her mind. Of course, she didn't stay for a moment and quickly walked out of the door …
Comrade Liu poured herself a cup of tea. Just as she sat back down at her desk, she felt a shadow blocking the bright morning sun. She looked up and saw a handsome soldier standing in front of her. He looked so handsome that even at her age, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. "Comrade Liu, what's the matter?"
"Ah! My surname is Yun, Yun Jingting! I'm here to ask about my wife, Mi Xaing 'er … "
Comrade Liu's eyes widened. "Ah? Mi Xaing 'er? She just left … "
Yun Laohu felt a "bang" in her chest as if something heavy had hit her. She couldn't stay calm and her voice trembled as she spoke. "She … just left?"
"Yes! She just left the house! You didn't see her? "
Comrade Liu craned her neck and looked out the window. She pointed at the public license plate across the street with her chin. "There, isn't that her? She's right there! "
Yun Jingting followed her gaze …
