80s Military Accompanying: The Heirless Tycoon Pampers His Pregnant Wife

"Commander Ye is back?"

After breakfast, Ye Zhengting chased Zhu Jing away, then carried a bundle of mosquito repellent sachets and took Shen Fenghe to work at the family compound clinic. He even put his arm around her shoulder, which attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the door.

"Um."

Ye Zhengting nodded to Zhong Junrong, "Xiaohe made some mosquito repellent sachets. I'll take some to the camp for the brothers to use, there are a lot of mosquitoes on the mountain."

"The sachets that Xiao Shen makes are really useful; almost everyone in our clinic has one," Zhong Junrong said with a smile.

Ye Zhengting smiled and nodded. He didn't linger. In front of everyone, he brushed the stray hairs from Shen Fenghe's forehead and turned to leave.

In just a few minutes, everyone's gaze towards Shen Fenghe changed. Her close friends were naturally happy for her, while those who had doubts about her character or were pessimistic about the couple's relationship completely changed their opinions.

Ye Zhengting didn't care what others thought of him, as long as he treated Shen Fenghe well.

Having achieved his goal, he got into the pickup truck and returned to the camp.

He was in a good mood throughout the journey, inhaling the faint scent of Chinese herbs in the car, and couldn't help but hum a song, "Our hometown, on the fields of hope, smoke rises from the newly built houses... Hmm?"

Just as he drove out of the military region's jurisdiction, his singing stopped abruptly. His brows furrowed behind his sunglasses, and his eyes were fixed on a furtive figure. He gradually slowed down and turned around to quietly approach the other person.

"Why is it still so hot?"

Wang Ji, already dazed by the sun, was completely unaware that she had been followed by someone. Holding her bundle high above her head to shield herself from the glare, she grumbled as she struggled toward the military guesthouse.

"It's all that little bitch Shen Fenghe's fault! She made me afraid to take the long-distance bus here. I had to switch from an oxcart to a donkey cart the whole way, and the shaking was so bad I felt like I was going to fall apart."

A while ago, after she was escorted back to Jinshan Town by Ye Zhengting's men, Director Liu quickly received the news and forbade them from setting foot in the mountain city again. Naturally, Director Liu couldn't guard them every day, so he had to instruct the long-distance bus station not to sell them tickets to the mountain city.

Jinshan Town is a small place without a train station. Apart from long-distance bus service, the only other option is to drive yourself.

Li Qingshou offered money but not labor, telling her to find her own way to Shancheng. Reluctant to spend money to hire a car, she had no choice but to hitch a ride on a farmer's oxcart and donkey cart. She set off at five in the morning and the journey took almost five hours.

"We must settle this score with Shen Fenghe!"

"What bill?"

Suddenly, a tall figure blocked her way. She looked up and was stunned.

"Leaf...leaf...leaf..."

"Yes, come with Grandpa."

Ye Zhengting grabbed her arm and led her straight into the guesthouse.

"Comrade Li, could you please give me the key to the attic room? I need to entertain my wife and sister-in-law."

"Yes, Commander Ye."

Hearing the harsh clanging of the key turning the old lock, Wang Ji froze, finally snapping out of her daze. She asked Ye Zhengting in a trembling voice, "What...what do you want to do?"

"Let's talk." Ye Zhengting said expressionlessly, pushing her into the room and slamming the door shut behind him.

"Are you ignoring my warning?"

Ye Zhengting stood with his back to the door, arms crossed, looking down at Wang Ji with icy eyes, which frightened the latter into retreating repeatedly.

"I...I was just passing by."

"Just passing by, stopped by to settle scores with Shen Fenghe?"

Ye Zhengting approached step by step, his dignified and righteous aura vanishing, replaced by a murderous aura rarely shown in public.

After saying that, he walked past Wang Ji, whose legs were trembling, picked up the lamp from the bedside table, turned around and came to her, turned on the switch, and shone the bright light directly into her eyes.

"what!"

Caught off guard, Wang Ji covered his eyes with one hand and took two steps back.

Ye Zhengting stretched out his long arm, grabbed her arm and pulled her back, continuing to shine the bright light directly into her eyes, beginning his interrogation of her.

"Did Li Qingshou send you? What's your plan?"

"I……"

Wang Ji's eyes were tightly closed, but the blinding light could still penetrate his eyelids and reach his eyeballs.

Before long, she felt dizzy and her mouth was dry.

"He...he told me to come and keep watch here, to find an opportunity...to get close to the people in the military region, and to find out about you and Shen Fenghe...to know your enemy and yourself..."

"and then?"

Ye Zhengting pushed the lamp a little further in.

"Splash...splash dirty water! You're a soldier, your reputation is important, you can't marry a slut...ah!"

The grip on his arm tightened suddenly, causing Wang Ji to scream in pain.

"Why do you hate her so much?" Ye Zhengting asked through gritted teeth.

He was more concerned about this issue than their underhanded schemes.

Because these scoundrels are just playing tricks, nothing more than instigating, spreading rumors, drugging, and kidnapping people. Even if Wang Ji doesn't confess honestly, he can still guess what they're up to.

But he couldn't understand why Wang Ji would hate Shen Fenghe so much, since Shen Fenghe and Wang Ji had no grudges against each other and were in similar circumstances. Even if they weren't exactly in the same boat, Wang Ji shouldn't have been so vengeful towards Shen Fenghe.

Moreover, in all the years since she married into the family, Shen Fenghe has been the one managing the household chores and taking care of the children, while she only cares about the money and ordering around the Shen siblings. Apart from being a little poor, she can be considered to be enjoying a life of leisure.

There's always a reason for hating someone, right?

"She's luckier than me," Wang Ji said hoarsely.

At this moment, she was exhausted by the bright light and seemed to have lost her sense of space and time. She just wanted Ye Zhengting to let her go as soon as possible.

"Lucky?" Ye Zhengting frowned. He really couldn't see how Shen Fenghe was lucky to have this bloodsucking brother and sister-in-law.

Wang Ji licked her chapped lips, her voice growing increasingly hoarse, "She had her father to protect her. Even after her father passed away, she still had her brother. She didn't suffer much hardship."

"Unlike me, I lived in a cowshed, scavenged for cow dung, and was even bullied by Li Gang in front of my family!"

"I've been bullied by Li Gang for so many years, and no one has helped me. But she, who was also targeted by a man from the Li family, wasn't forced into submission like I was. Instead, he patiently tormented her. Why should he?"

She grew angrier and angrier as she spoke, recounting the entire story of how she married Shen Zhiyuan. "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have married that good-for-nothing Shen Zhiyuan!"

"Was Shen Zhiyuan bad to you? Was Shen Fenghe bad to you? Ask yourself honestly." Ye Zhengting hit the nail on the head. "If you hadn't married Shen Zhiyuan, you might still be being bullied by Li Gang right now."

"You were forced to marry him, that's true, but this marriage has earned you freedom and kept you away from that hellhole."

"Shen Fenghe did nothing wrong to you; you're just jealous!"

Ye Zhengting released her and turned off the table lamp.

"You should hate the Li family father and son, but instead of hating them, you've become their lackey!"

"Ten years of turmoil broke your spine, but Shen Fenghe did not. She still stood straight and dared to face the sun."

He put the lamp back in its place and then pulled Wang Ji away from the room.

Where are you taking me?

Wang Ji struggled, trembling with fear.

"Confess!"

After uttering those two words, he strode quickly, pulled Wang Ji into the car, and headed straight for the Jinshan Town Police Station.

He was impatient and sped along, making Wang Ji bounce up and down, and he bumped into the roof of the car several times.

To prevent her from vomiting halfway, Ye Zhengting "kindly" opened the passenger window to its maximum. As a result, she only vomited a little bit of acid, but the strong wind carrying sand made her eyes and mouth crooked, and she almost got facial paralysis.

When they carried her out of the car, her legs were already weak. Director Liu called two police officers to help her inside.

Ye Zhengting then truthfully recounted Shen Fenghe's ordeal to Director Liu, emphasizing, "I am a witness!"

After listening, Director Liu looked troubled, rubbing his hands awkwardly, and said, "If this matter is really investigated, Commander Ye yourself might also be implicated!"

Ye Zhengting readily accepted the statement, saying, "In the whole affair, Shen Fenghe was the only victim."

Ring ring ring—

"Xiao Shen, you have a phone call."

Just as I was about to leave work, I received a phone call from the health clinic in the family compound looking for Shen Fenghe.

Shen Fenghe thought it was Ye Zhengting calling to let her know he was safe, and hurriedly ran to answer it: "You just arrived at the camp?"

"Is this Comrade Shen Fenghe? Hello, I am Liu Mingguang, the director of Jinshan Town Police Station."

"Police station?"

Shen Fenghe was surprised, and a bad feeling crept over her. "Has something happened to my brother and sister-in-law?"

Liu Mingguang swallowed hard and said with some difficulty, "It's Commander Ye Zhengting. He's suspected of rape and has been temporarily detained by us."
