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

Ling Wenchen, who was waiting for noon to arrive at the hospital, suddenly heard a loud commotion outside his ward.

Before he could even react to what was happening outside, the clinic was already surrounded by the army, and no one was allowed to leave.

You can only come in, not leave. Anyone who disobeys will be taken away!

After listening for a while, Ling Wenchen had a premonition that something big must have happened at the base, and Jiang Yuyan was still there.

Thinking of this, he could no longer lie still, picked up the support frame and staggered out of the ward.

He called out to a soldier, "What's going on? Why is the clinic being sealed off?"

"Reporting to the deputy commander, the division commander said that everyone must obey orders and not inquire about anything." After saying that, he turned and left.

The more this happened, the more panicked Ling Wenchen became.

He walked towards the entrance of the clinic, but just as he was about to step out, he was stopped by a soldier at the gate who coldly ordered him to go back.

Ling Wenchen took out his military officer's ID and held it up in front of them. "I want to see the base division commander. I have the right to know what exactly is going on."

After the soldier checked his identification and found no problems, he immediately ordered another soldier to notify the division commander.

He handed him the broken ID. "Reporting to the deputy commander, please wait a moment. However, the situation is urgent, and no one is allowed to leave. Please wait here, deputy commander."

Ling Wenchen didn't make things difficult for him, but instead inquired about other things.

"Where are Mr. Qi and his apprentice, Comrade Yanzi, now? Are they safe?"

He noticed that as soon as he finished asking the question, the soldier's gaze sharpened instantly, and his expression changed from blank to serious.

"No comment!"

Ling Wenchen frowned. What did that mean?

A soldier would never dare to act this way towards a superior, unless the two people he was questioning had serious problems.

But how could there be a problem between Elder Qi and Jiang Yuyan?

Ling Wenchen remained silent, not understanding what had happened outside in less than half a day that would cause the military's attitude to change so quickly.

He knew Jiang Yuyan and knew that she would never do anything to harm the base, let alone Old Qi.

Old Qi is a newly discovered genius pharmacist who has been carefully protected by the higher-ups. He is the one who developed the effective new drugs for the military.

So how could they possibly have a problem?

Ling Wenchen had a gut feeling that there must be a huge misunderstanding here, and that this misunderstanding might be the reason why everyone's attitude changed.

At this moment, the soldier who had run out returned.

"Reporting to the deputy regimental commander, the division commander requests your presence at the morgue."

Upon arriving at the morgue,

Ling Wenchen got out of the car and saw only a mess and charred houses.

"The morgue is on fire? What happened? What's going on?"

Ling Wenchen could no longer suppress his anger and questioned the division commander standing in front of the morgue.

"Where is Old Qi? Where is Comrade Yanzi? Where are they? Did the division commander arrest them?"

The division commander pursed his lips. "They've disappeared."

"They disappeared from the morgue before the fire broke out, and nobody knows where they went."

Without even thinking, Ling Wenchen retorted, "Impossible!"

"Even if Comrade Yanzi doesn't say anything, do you still not believe me, Elder Qi? Elder Qi was sent by higher-ups. If it weren't for the incident at the border, he wouldn't have needed to make this trip."

The division commander frowned deeply. "I know, but the problem is that the director of the machinery department was found hanged in his home today, and all the evidence points to them. How can you expect me to believe it?"

Ling Wenchen: "....."

Ling Wenchen suppressed his panic and calmly said, "You said this is where they disappeared, so I'd like to go into the morgue to take a look."

"As you can see, the morgue is a complete mess now. Apart from the charred marks from the fire, all traces have disappeared. How are you going to investigate?" the division commander told him the truth.

"Please allow me to enter the morgue for inspection, sir. As the deputy regimental commander in charge of Comrade Yanzi, her safety is within my purview. If you have any objections, you can report it to your superiors."

The division commander quietly watched his determined gaze, and finally beckoned his men to give him a wheelchair and take him to the morgue.

Arriving at the morgue,

Sitting in his wheelchair, Ling Wenchen looked at the charred remains. Apart from some burnt bits and ashes on the ground, there were no signs of a struggle.

If they were truly in danger, they would inevitably fight back.

Unless they are taken away before they have a chance to resist.

There were no signs of dragging or any trace of struggle on the ground. At a glance, the morgue was very clean, except for the two bodies that had been burned to ashes.

However, it was precisely because they were so clean that Ling Wenchen became even more certain that Jiang Yuyan and Old Qi had encountered danger and might have already been killed, without having time to call for help.

Now that something has happened at the base, with dead bodies and a 'suspect' escaping, the entire area is under martial law and the gates are sealed off. No one can enter or leave without permission.

Unless special circumstances occur—

Ling Wenchen pondered,

Unless, the dead need to be buried.

The main gate of the base.

A truck drove up and was stopped by guards with weapons as soon as it reached the gate.

The driver rolled down the window, looking honest and simple. "Hey comrade, what are you doing? I have to go out and run some errands for someone, I'm in a hurry."

"Get out of the vehicle! Routine inspection, open your truck for inspection."

Before the driver could say anything more, the guard pointed a gun at him without a word. The gun barrel was black, reminding him that they were not joking.

"Hey, hey, I'll start right away, I'll start right away, soldier, no, no rush—"

The driver jumped out of the car and slowly walked towards the back. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of two soldiers behind him, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

The moment his hand touched the handle, his eyes darted around, narrowed, and he was about to make a ruthless move...

At that moment, two military vehicles approached from a distance.

Beep—beep—

Ling Wenchen got out of the car, followed closely by the division commander, whose expression was not good.

"Are you sure they'd choose this time? They're not stupid enough to risk leaving the base at this hour?"

Ling Wenchen didn't answer him, but instead looked at the truck in front of him.

Meeting the driver and two guards with their wandering eyes, he turned his wheelchair around.

"Routine check, right? Did you find anything? Why didn't the driver open the truck? What's on it that's covered up so tightly?"

Normally, apart from the trucks commonly used at the base that are partially covered, the trucks outside are used for hauling goods and are not usually covered so tightly.

"Report, under investigation."

Ling Wenchen looked at the sweating driver. "Is there something wrong, comrade driver? Why are you refusing to open the truck? Or is there some unspeakable secret hidden in this truck?"

One sentence instantly alerted the two guards, who gripped the gun tightly and ordered the driver to open the truck immediately.

The driver chuckled awkwardly, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

"I'll open it right now, I'll open it right now—"

Before he could finish saying "open," the driver's eyes hardened, he threw a handful of sand behind him, abandoned the truck, and ran wildly in the opposite direction.

"Bang!"

"ah--"

The driver clutched his thigh in pain and fell to his knees. Two guards who had caught up with him pinned him down and handcuffed him behind his back.

The division commander snapped out of his daze, watching Ling Wenchen calmly put away his gun, and inwardly sighed, "He truly lives up to his reputation as a 'freakish combatant'."

"Open the truck."

The division commander gave the order, and three soldiers behind him immediately ran over and opened the back of the truck, which was covered up, revealing a huge coffin.

this.....

The three soldiers paused, instinctively looking at their division commander to ask if they should continue.

Division Commander: "..."

Ling Wenchen continued, "Open the coffin."

Seeing that they didn't move, he frowned and looked at his division commander.

"Commander, we're currently tracking down a group of ruthless and desperate criminals. Why do you think the driver ran away just now?"

The division commander immediately ordered, "Open the coffin. I'll take responsibility if anything happens."
