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

Everyone looked toward the doorway. Commander Jiang's wife had bloodshot eyes and trembling lips. She strode into the room, her eyes looking like she could devour someone.

Everyone watched them and whispered curiously, but Su Mei lowered her eyes and wished she could disappear into a hole.

"Koh Samui!"

The woman trembled, then suddenly grabbed an enamel mug and smashed it over Su Mei's head. "You bitch, why didn't you help her when she was dying? Why didn't you save Jingjing?!"

The woman gasped for breath, her eyes filled with tears. She wanted to kill the woman in front of her, but she couldn't. She could only stare intently at Su Mei's hypocritical face, her knuckles turning white. The thought of Su Mei seeing Jingjing but not helping her, causing Jingjing to be harmed, felt like a knife was ripping into her heart.

She took a deep breath to suppress her murderous urge, her voice trembling, "This woman, who was having an abortion, encountered my child who had been kidnapped by human traffickers... she, she..."

"She saw my daughter but didn't help her. She pretended not to see her. Waaah, my daughter's fingers were broken by human traffickers, and she was given so many sleeping pills. She was only six years old... Waaah."

"She clearly knows my daughter! My sister-in-law always takes such good care of you, but what did she do? She just stood by and watched you die! You should have at least called the police! How can there be such a wicked person like you in this world!"

"My daughter told me that she heard Su Mei and that male doctor say that the child was from that man. She said that Su Mei was a slut and that all the talk about encountering a scoundrel was a lie. She was just worried about being punished! This woman should be dragged out and shot."

The woman's voice was choked with sobs, and she collapsed to the ground. If Jiang Dajun hadn't been supporting her, she probably would have fallen to the ground long ago.

"My God, this woman is terrifying."

"Even a stranger shouldn't stand by and watch someone die! This woman is a human trafficker and she still claims she didn't see anything?"

"Pah, even a scoundrel would find her disgusting."

The clamor outside, initially just a few words, gradually escalated into a continuous roar: "Arrest her! Arrest the womanizer!"

Then, someone started smashing some trash, and Su Mei instantly became the target of many people's attacks. People in this era have a strong sense of justice, and the news spread like wildfire. Soon, people who didn't know the situation, upon hearing that a woman who was having an affair was colluding with human traffickers, spontaneously formed a large army to condemn her.

Su Mei's face turned pale, her fingers clenching the hem of her clothes. Everything was developing according to her plan, how could it have turned out like this?

Xing Yong spoke quietly, "Comrade Su Mei, I think you still need to go to the police station to clarify this matter. I've asked the doctor about your condition, and there are no problems with your discharge."

Standing to the side, Old Mrs. Ruan looked at Su Mei, whose face was deathly pale. Her droopy eyelids twitched. She was a mother too, how could she just stand by and watch her die?

Xiaochun noticed that the redness in the old lady's eyes had deepened, a sign of utter despair.

All the evidence points to one thing: Su Mei committed fraud, had extramarital affairs, and was involved in forgery.

"Find the adulterer!"

"Those who commit adultery shall be shot!"

The crowd's anger surged in like waves.

Xing Yong watched as the scene spiraled out of control.

"Comrades, we will definitely investigate and resolve this matter thoroughly. Our police force will absolutely handle this impartially!"

"How can this be handled fairly? Get her supervisor out there! How can someone like that be a doctor? Fire her! And find her lover and execute him too!"

People were very agitated. They understood what was going on: this woman was a liar, and a particularly wicked one at that. One scheme failed, so she came up with another. Didn't she see that this family consisted of old people, young children, and a mentally challenged son? It was simply bullying people, and the people would absolutely not allow it.

Seeing the situation, the hospital staff had no choice but to look at Xing Yong and say, "Captain Xing, how about I call their superiors?"

Otherwise, people might die in the hospital!

Xing Yong could only nod as he looked at the scene before him.

The whole matter has gone beyond the local police station; the government has called, urging them to handle it quickly and eliminate the negative impact.

The people at the military hospital and Commander Cao both received the call.

"Okay, okay, we're coming right away!"

When the people arrived, some people outside had already started sitting on the ground and shouting.

"Down with human traffickers!"

"Refuse to harbor criminals!"

Director Wang nearly fainted when he got out of Cao Aiguo's car.

These people are saying that the military hospital is hiring criminals—isn't that a death sentence?!

Sweat rolled down his forehead and his eyelids twitched. "Commander Cao, this is all a misunderstanding. The people don't understand the situation. I've already sent someone to fetch Fu Chen. Don't worry."

Cao Aiguo walked quickly inside with a tense face. In all these years, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing. If this kind of incident that aroused public indignation was not handled properly, it would affect the unity of the entire team.

Military doctors are the rear line of defense for soldiers on the battlefield. If something goes wrong with them, trust will crumble, which is why he had to make the trip.

The hospital was like a noisy chicken and duck pond, full of people.

Cao Aiguo and his group walked quickly toward Su Mei's ward.

"The leader is here! The leader is here!"

Someone shouted something, and Grandma Ruan and her group, along with Commander Jiang and his wife, looked over in the ward.

"Boss! You have to stand up for me!"

Grandma Ruan had already quieted down, but when her eyes caught sight of the neatly dressed uniform, she slid down to her knees and hugged Commander Cao's leg.

"Boss! You must stand up for us! This world is forcing our whole family to die!"

The heart-wrenching cries, three long and one short, were very rhythmic. The sentimental crowd around was immediately moved to tears, and they all joined in, pleading with the leaders to save the person.

Grandma Ruan was faking her tears, but as she cried, she began to express her true feelings.

She suffered so much. She lost her husband in middle age, her son became mentally impaired in her old age, and her daughter-in-law is still like this. She is heartbroken.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and if she weren't afraid of frightening the crowd, she would have stretched a rope up and down to show the leaders.

Cao Aiguo felt a pang of guilt as he watched the elderly woman sobbing uncontrollably. He felt a deep, indescribable sorrow for this old woman who had fought in the War of Resistance against Japan and was seeking justice for her son, a hero of the nation.

"Grandma, don't worry, we will never cover up any comrade who has made a mistake, nor will we let any innocent comrade suffer in silence."

He stared sharply at Su Mei across from him, his intense gaze creating a frighteningly low atmosphere.

"Comrade Su Mei, you should know that your matter is no longer just a personal issue. Look at these people, they are all demanding an explanation."

Ruan Jianhua and Su Mei's affair is a personal matter, but since it involves human traffickers, it becomes a criminal issue that must be dealt with seriously.

Su Mei's throat grew drier and drier. She looked into Cao Aiguo's eyes, wanting to say that she had been taken advantage of, but under those intimidating eyes, she opened her mouth, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. She opened her mouth again, but for some reason, she couldn't say anything.

Finally, he managed to squeeze out, "Commander, Comrade Fu Chen..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Chen and a man in his fifties walked in through the door.
