The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

After listening to Ling Wenchen's words, Jiang Yuyan felt that one should not judge a person solely on their appearance, especially on the border.

"Uh, so you knew all that? And you even attacked the people outside just now? Won't that disrupt your plans?"

Jiang Yuyan felt a little worried when she thought about what had just happened.

"It's alright. To Li Guozhong, I'm just a cripple who can't even walk. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent such a useless piece of trash to watch over me."

By noon,

Jiang Yuyan was lying in the hospital bed, while Ling Wenchen, who should have been the patient, was sitting on a stool in the ward, looking well-behaved and harmless.

There was a knock on the door.

Jiang Yuyan: "!!!!!!!"

She almost jumped up in surprise, but Ling Wenchen held her down, smiled reassuringly at her, and indicated that she didn't need to worry.

Ling Wenchen called towards the door, "Who is it?"

"It's me! I've brought lunch for you two."

While Ling Wenchen was still wondering who this person was, Jiang Yuyan patted his arm and said, "It's Wu Lan, my new bodyguard. Don't worry, her identity should be fine."

Ling Wenchen went to open the door and met Wu Lan's gaze. They both saw wariness and a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

"Come in."

After Wu Lan went inside, Ling Wenchen looked outside to make sure no one was there before closing the door.

Jiang Yuyan helped set out the food, asking questions as she did so.

"Comrade Wu Lan, what did you do with the people outside just now? And why are you the one bringing the food?"

Wu Lan still has a blank expression.

"Someone outside is handling things for us, so don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll be responsible for your safety and will temporarily act as your personal assistant. I'll be in charge of your meals to make sure you get enough nutrition."

Jiang Yuyan and Ling Wenchen: "..."

After eating,

Jiang Yuyan planned to go back to her dormitory to rest. Ling Wenchen looked at his hospital bed and cautiously asked her...

"Yan'er, you can rest in my bed too, would you like to—"

Jiang Yuyan glared at him, annoyed.

"It seems you're really alright now. Should I go out and talk to the doctor and ask them to discharge you?"

"Ahem, be careful then, I'll wait for you to come over."

Ling Wenchen escorted them to the door, a distance of less than fifty meters, but he talked for more than ten minutes.

It's always the same thing over and over: she needs to be careful about this and that, and not to go out alone, blah blah blah...

If he could leave now, he would have gladly escorted Jiang Yuyan to the front gate or the dormitory building entrance.

Jiang Yuyan walked out of the hospital gate, glanced behind her, and breathed a sigh of relief when she made sure Ling Wenchen hadn't followed her out.

He muttered to himself, "Why does this guy seem to be getting more and more clingy lately? I must have been fooled by his appearance before."

Speaking of appearance, Jiang Yuyan subconsciously glanced at Wu Lan beside her, looking her up and down, but all she saw was a blank, expressionless face.

"Comrade Wu Lan, is it possible that those of you with expressionless faces actually have very rich inner lives? Is your true personality not actually expressionless?"

Wu Lan: "..."

"I'm sorry, I'm not like Deputy Commander Ling. I've really always had this face since I was a child. You don't need to worry about me changing."

Jiang Yuyan chuckled awkwardly, then obediently went upstairs to her room to rest.

That evening.

Li Guozhong led his men to the entrance of the division commander's office and gave his subordinates a wink.

The subordinate nodded and immediately took out a wire to pry open the office door lock.

"Hurry up, today is our only chance. Once we get that thing, the southern border will be our territory."

Li Guozhong had a vague sense of unease, especially since the procurement team he had sent out today had not yet returned.

This was inconsistent with his plans, instantly arousing his vigilance and unease.

Just in case,

Li Guozhong is taking a risk and will start stealing the border seal and the token representing real power in the border area from the division commander's office tonight.

The hand card is usually held only by the sole administrator, the division commander, which means that he has the authority to control all matters on the border, including disciplinary actions and handling of issues.

Disciplinary action applies to internal personnel, while punishment applies to any hostile element on the border.

In other words, as long as Li Guozhong finds the token and the official seal, he has the right to dispose of anyone he wants without reporting it.

For this matter, he endured humiliation and hardship for so many years, putting up with that brute who only knew how to fight and that idiot who only questioned whether he was a bad element.

It's his turn to end all of this.

A "click" sound.

The office door lock was pried open, and Li Guozhong eagerly pushed his men aside and went in.

He went straight to the division commander's drawer, searched several drawers, but couldn't find what he wanted, and immediately became anxious.

"Bang bang bang—"

"Fuck! Fuck!"

"Where exactly did that old scoundrel hide it—?"

As he was cursing, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of a protruding section on the bookshelf, instantly drawing Li Guozhong's attention.

Without thinking, he went to the bookshelf, reached out and touched the protruding part, and pressed it down.

Then, a clicking sound came.

Then a book on the shelf moved automatically, revealing a metal box hidden inside.

Li Guozhong's eyes lit up with excitement, and he was about to reach for it when the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Before they could react, the office door was pushed open.

"Li Guozhong, how dare you!!" The division commander sneered, appearing at the door and staring straight at him.

Li Guozhong almost jumped up in fright.

"You...Commander, weren't you supposed to be out at a meeting? Why are you back so soon?"

impossible.

The meeting location is at least 50 kilometers away from the South District base, and it takes a day to go there and back. Adding the meeting time, it will take at least four or five days.

How could he possibly be back in just three days?

The division commander sneered, "If I hadn't come back, I wouldn't have known there was a giant rat hiding in this house!"

He glanced at his subordinates, who were cowering in the corner like quails, too afraid to move, and snorted coldly, continuing, "..."

"No wonder everything has been going so badly these past two years. Turns out there's a traitor hiding right next to us, determined to steal everything from our home, huh?"

Li Guozhong frowned, looking at the group of people behind him, as well as the regimental commander who had gone on a mission a few days earlier. He knew that all of this was part of someone else's scheme.

"You... you suspected me a long time ago? Why? I clearly didn't give anything suspicious, how could you, a complete brute, have the brains to suspect me?"

The rough-around-the-edges division commander: "..."

"What brain do you need to doubt me? Hmph, do you think I should tell you just because you want to know? Go find out for yourself."

He waved to the people behind him, and the regimental commander led his men to approach Li Guozhong.

A ruthless glint flashed in Li Guozhong's eyes. His gaze swept over the metal box, and he decided to go all in, snatching it from his hand, raising it high, and shouting.

"I have the cards in my hand, and the division commander's official seal. Let's see who dares to touch me!"

For a moment, most people dared not move, including the regimental commander.

They instinctively looked at their teacher.

The division commander showed no anger whatsoever; instead, he looked at Li Guozhong with a smile.

"Li Guozhong, you haven't even opened the metal box, yet you claim to have obtained the tokens and the official seal. Do you think everyone is stupid?"
