"Come on! Slow down, watch your step."

Although Shen Fenghe was not seriously injured and had simply fainted from exhaustion while performing CPR on Luo Cancan, she was still hospitalized for five days at the clinic on Xiao Guilan's advice (order).

For the next five days, Ye Zhengting stayed by her side, handing over the task of training the soldiers to Lu Xiaohua. He also prepared delicious meals for Shen Fenghe every day, telling everyone that the food in the canteen was too greasy and that Zhu Jing's cooking would poison people.

Everyone praised Ye Zhengting for spoiling his wife and being a model husband in the military region, but he never admitted it. He was just not as stubborn as before. "What model husband? Isn't a wife meant to be cherished? Is sleeping with your wife considered spoiling her? Isn't that what we should do? When my mother had her appendix removed, my father wished he could cut himself with the knife. After the surgery, he cried for three whole days."

Upon hearing this, everyone praised him, saying that it turned out that loving one's wife was a family tradition of the Ye family, passed down through generations.

Years later, when the incident was brought up, Zhu Shiying both scolded and laughed, "What do you mean you felt sorry for me? His father was afraid of blood and would faint at the sight of it, which is why he became a technical soldier."

Within five days, the cause of the boiler room explosion was determined. Just as the fire department had speculated, it was a chemical explosion caused by human error.

The reason for the human error was indeed due to the ghost stories circulating recently.

"What ghost story?"

Shen Fenghe was completely unaware of this matter.

Zhu Jing had vaguely heard about it, but didn't know the specifics. The boiler room was too far away, and if she hadn't gone there to settle accounts with Luo Cancan last time, she would almost never have set foot there. "It's like being trapped in a maze or something?"

"It's a ghost wall, but before Lao Xiao encountered the ghost wall, there were other ghost stories," Luo Cancan added.

She and Shen Fenghe have already reconciled, and now she always likes to follow Zhu Jing around, and also likes to come to Shen Fenghe's place to enjoy the air conditioning.

"I didn't have many friends in the boiler room. It was only after I had been there for a long time that I heard from Sister Chen, who sat across from me, that many frontline workers and soldiers often felt inexplicably irritable, fearful, and depressed. It was all for no reason, but once they were away from the frontline for a while, they would not have these strange feelings."

"You still haven't read enough books." Ye Zhengting, who had been listening intently, couldn't resist any longer and came over with a fruit platter to give everyone a proper explanation: "In old boiler rooms like our military region's, the pipes or ventilation systems may generate infrasound during operation. This sound is inaudible to the human ear, but it can cause discomfort, making people feel depressed and anxious. People in dark, old boiler rooms are more deeply affected by these negative emotions and are more likely to mistakenly attribute this physical discomfort to 'haunting.'"

"So that's how it is!" All three of them understood at the same time.

"Then what about the ghost wall that Lao Xiao encountered?" Luo Cancan asked curiously.

Ye Zhengting explained, "The reason I got lost was due to a combination of poor visibility at night and psychological suggestion."

"Oh, I was just lost!" Luo Cancan suddenly realized.

"It's a pity that Lao Xiao will never know the truth," Zhu Jing sighed.

Old Xiao died in the explosion, which was caused by his mistake.

In fact, his colleagues had noticed that he was not in a good state before the explosion, but unfortunately they were unable to comfort him in time.

It's all the fault of superstition for harming people!

To this end, Wang He wrote a special column to popularize the scientific truth behind some folk tales and strange events, so as to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.

After reading Wang He's article, Ye Zhengting focused his attention on the word "truth," recalling Xiao Guilan's estimated due date for Shen Fenghe, his brows furrowing more and more tightly.

"Xiaohua, I need to ask for leave to go to the city."

He put down the newspaper and made up his mind that this time he must have his reproductive issues checked again.

As he drove along, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes blazing.

"Who said you can't have children? You only had a temporary injury; your body has already recovered, and it won't affect your ability to have children."

Two hours later, he received the test results. After hearing the doctor's words, he was incredulous, his hand holding the report trembling slightly. "You mean, I can have children?"

"Comrade Ye, I can tell you with absolute certainty that you have normal fertility, and your sperm morphology is over 90%, which is far higher than that of ordinary normal men." The doctor was extremely confident.

"Who told you you can't have children?" He couldn't help but ask again, because the examination wasn't complicated and shouldn't lead to a misdiagnosis.

"A quack doctor!" Ye Zhengting said through gritted teeth.

After thanking the doctor, he called Lu Xiaohua's office and said, "I might be back late. Could you please tell Zhu Jing that I'm going to Jincheng to take care of something very important, and ask her to get some food from the cafeteria after get off work?"

"Jincheng? Something important? What is it?" Lu Xiaohua asked. He could tell that Ye Zhengting's tone was very different from usual, revealing urgency and even a hint of fierceness.

Does the regimental commander have enemies in Jincheng?

"Find someone to settle the score!" Ye Zhengting said emphatically before hanging up the phone.

"Oh my! I guessed right." Lu Xiaohua's eyes lit up, her gossip spirit burning brightly.

"Who is it?"

He was then completely puzzled.

Although many criminals hate Ye Zhengting, there are very few people who can truly make Ye Zhengting hate them.

In Lu Xiaohua's view, everyone's emotions are like a pot. Some pots are big, like his, with abundant emotions, while others are small, like Ye Zhengting, with relatively poor emotions, unable to hold much love or hate.

"Dr. Li and Dr. Yu are in Jincheng, but Dr. Yu's cousin has become close to her sister-in-law, and Dr. Yu hasn't been to the military region for a long time. They probably aren't here to settle scores with her, are they?"

"Forget it! Let's ask Piggy, she might know."

——Jincheng——

After arriving in Jincheng, Ye Zhengting drove directly to the Jincheng Military Region Hospital.

"Didn't Ouyang Rong come to work today?"

After parking his car, he went straight to Ouyang Rong's clinic, only to find that the doctor on duty had changed; it was a middle-aged female doctor he didn't know.

"Dr. Ouyang?"

The female doctor blinked and quickly recognized Ye Zhengting's military uniform. "Comrade, you're from the Shancheng Military Region, right?"

"Yes! Unit 68001, Ye Zhengting." Ye Zhengting came out in a hurry and didn't take a pass, he only gave the unit number.

The other party didn't question it, but showed a troubled expression, "I know Dr. Ouyang used to have medical cooperation with your Shancheng Military Region, but he is now..."

"What's wrong with him?" Ye Zhengting asked, frowning.

Did you guess I was coming to settle scores with him and hide in advance?

"He's been arrested." The other person looked embarrassed. "The person who reported him was Dr. Yu from your military region."
