I'm only five years old, how come I've become the military region's darling?

Commander Cao is looking for him? Fu Chen's palms were sweating. Did the news travel that fast?

He forced himself to maintain a calm demeanor. "Comrade Sun, wait a moment, I'll change my clothes."

Looking at Fu Chen, who had changed his clothes, Xiao Sun felt a cold sneer in his heart. He looked refined and cultured, but he was just trash inside. What soldiers feared most was that their wives at home would not stay with them.

It's because of these people who look like beasts in human form that people say to be wary of gigolos.

Even Xiao Sun looks down on men who steal other people's wives.

He's not a man.

Fu Chen was unaware that in the eyes of the soldiers, he had been labeled as someone who was messing with other people's wives, and he was uneasy as he walked.

What will Commander Cao ask? How should I answer?

What was clearly a short distance felt like an eternity to him, like the Long March.

"Commander, I've brought Comrade Fu Chen with me."

Cao Aiguo looked up at Fu Chen standing in the doorway, his expression unreadable. "Come in."

Fu Chen walked in nervously. After a long while, Cao Aiguo put down his pen, stood up, and instead of asking about Su Mei directly, lit a cigarette. "I remember Comrade Qiu passed away four years ago, right?"

Qiu Ling, his lover and a doctor at the hospital, sacrificed her life in the Battle of Xisha Islands, the same battle in which Ruan Jianhua suffered a brain injury from an explosion.

When his late wife Fu Chen was mentioned, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes. "Yes, she passed away four years ago."

"It's true that people should look forward, but as the family of a martyr, Comrade Fu Chen must not let them lose face."

That's a very heavy sentence, very weighty.

"I've received news that Comrade Su Mei is pregnant. Do you know what that means?"

Fu Chenqian swallowed hard, remembering what his mother had just said, "Commander Cao, my relationship with Comrade Su Mei is a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand?"

Cao Aiguo flicked his cigarette ash into the ashtray in the tin box. "Even if it's a misunderstanding, it still needs to be confirmed. I've already spoken with your supervisor. Your work is temporarily suspended. Please cooperate with the police investigation."

"Okay," Fu Chen replied curtly.

There was no turning back once the arrow was released. As Fu Chen walked out of Commander Cao's office, his eyes hardened. He had to make Su Mei take the blame for having an affair all by herself.

If one person can withstand it, why must everyone die together?

Who can prove that the child in Su Mei's belly is his?

Fu Chen's steps became more and more determined; he was going to find Su Mei.

Commander Cao just mentioned Qiu Ling. As long as he is still a family member of a martyr, he still has a chance.

But will Su Mei really do as he wishes?

Fu Chen went to the police station and found out that Su Mei was hospitalized.

He had no choice but to go to the hospital again, but there were police officers at the entrance and he couldn't get in. Besides, he also saw that idiot Ruan Jianhua.

There was nothing Fu Chen could do but wait.

Time passed slowly, and Su Mei finally came out to use the restroom.

Fu Chen's eyes darkened slightly, and he ran ahead to the storage room around the corner from the women's restroom.

A woman walked in, and a moment later Su Mei followed her in.

Su Mei looked unwell. She had just reached the toilet door when a hand suddenly pulled her into a storage room.

"you......"

"It's me, don't shout." In the dimly lit cubicle, Fu Chen stood on tiptoe, looking at the police officer standing at the door. "Su Mei, don't shout, I have something to say."

Su Mei burst into tears the moment she saw Fu Chen. "Fu Chen, you're finally here! The police know about the pregnancy, what are we going to do?"

"Listen to me, Su Mei, there is no solution to this problem, there is only one way."

Fu Chen held Su Mei's shoulders and lowered his voice, staring intently at her, "I have a way to get you out of your current predicament."

"What method?"

Fu Chen took a deep breath. "You told outsiders that you were raped by a thug and got pregnant, and that you forged a divorce agreement to avoid tarnishing your husband's reputation. You didn't want to say it before because you felt ashamed."

"Rape? Rape?" Su Mei's face had turned deathly pale as she stared at him in disbelief. "What did you say? Fu Chen, are you crazy? This is your child!"

Su Mei looked at Fu Chen as if she had never known the man in front of her before.

Is a woman who has been defiled trying to drive herself to suicide?

"The only way to save you, Su Mei, is this, or are you going to die with both of us!"

Fu Chen unconsciously gripped her arm tighter.

"Fu Chen, it hurts..."

Seeing her struggling in distress, Fu Chen said, "Su Mei, do you know how big of an impact this is? Commander Cao came to me. Now, as long as you have your reasons, you won't be accused of having an affair, you won't lose your job, and you won't be held responsible for forging the divorce agreement. It's a win-win-win situation. If you insist on saying it's mine, then we're both finished. If they talk about me, just say you're here to comfort me because you're pitiful."

Fu Chen grabbed his hair in frustration. "Don't you understand?"

Su Mei murmured as she looked at the out-of-control Fu Chen.

"Su Mei, don't worry, I will still marry you after this matter is resolved. I swear."

Su Mei looked into his eyes, her heart aching. From the moment he made her abort the child to now making her admit to being raped, was this man still the husband who loved and cared for her in her past life?

"Su Mei?" A male police officer's voice rang out from outside. Su Mei wiped away her tears and said in a flustered manner, "Officer, I'll be right out."

Fu Chen gritted his teeth as he watched Su Mei's retreating figure. Only in this way could he protect both of them.

When Su Mei returned to the ward, she felt completely cold. As she watched the sun gradually set outside the window, her heart sank deeper and deeper.

Fu Chen was right; at this moment, she had no other choice.

If she admits the child is Fu Chen's, then she's definitely cheating on him. Adding to that the forged divorce agreement, that's an even bigger crime.

Losing my job is secondary; the most crucial thing is that I will definitely be sent to a labor camp or prison, with a minimum of three years.

Going to jail? Once she gets out, can she turn her life around?

Will Fu Chen still marry her?

But why does her heart ache so much when she thinks about what Fu Chen said?

Su Mei stared blankly for a long time, looking at the police officer and Ruan Jianhua standing outside.

His gaze finally settled on the porcelain bowl on the table.

With a loud crash, shards of metal littered the floor, and the police officers on guard rushed in.

"What happened?"

"I accidentally broke it."

The young policeman quickly came in to clean up, while Su Mei watched as the person left, then looked at the broken porcelain shards hidden in her palm.

Su Mei ran her fingertips along the edge of the porcelain shard and then slashed it hard down her wrist.

She wrote a sentence in blood on her pillow.

Drops of blood stained the white blankets and sheets.

Tick ​​tock.

The door opened. "Su Mei got her shot..."

"Oh no! The patient committed suicide!!!"

Panic screams echoed through the ward. The young policeman rushed in, his mind reeling at the sight of Su Mei, who was already unconscious, and the blood-stained sheets and blankets.

What is this all about?!

"Quickly bandage and treat him."

The doctors and nurses were all busy. Just as the young policeman was about to leave, a nurse grabbed him and said, "Officer, this is what this woman said before she died."

Last words?

The young police officer looked at the words written on the pillow: "I had this child because I was sexually assaulted by a thug. I'm too ashamed to face anyone."

Rape by a thug?

Is there really something hidden in this case?

Xing Yong received news of Su Mei's suicide while he and Xiao Chun were completing a portrait.

"What's wrong, Captain Xing?"

Xing Yong looked at the little guy's innocent appearance and was somewhat speechless. "Su Mei just committed suicide in the hospital. She left a suicide note saying that the child in her belly was conceived because of a hooligan."

"Nonsense, impossible!" Xiaochun retorted firmly.

In his past life, his younger brother and Fu Chen looked exactly alike, how could he possibly be someone else's?

Xing Yong knew the little guy was angry, but there was something he didn't say.

If Su Mei insists that she was raped, then the nature of this case will be different.

It could even allow Su Mei to escape punishment.

"Captain Xing, I'll go with you to take a look!"

She wanted to see what tricks Su Mei was up to.
