Chapter 489 He probably doesn't want to contact us anymore!
Qiao Manman, inside the space, could finally hear some sounds from outside.
She tried to open her eyes, but she was still lost in darkness.
"Commander, Little Commander?"
Little Tongzi was digging a hole, huffing and puffing as he restored the space environment affected by the explosion.
Suddenly, its ears twitched: "Host, host, you're awake?"
Glancing outside the space, Qiao Manman was still unconscious.
With a sigh, I straightened the lychee tree that had been leaning to one side, covered it with soil, tamped it down, and then watered it.
In the blink of an eye, the lychee tree came back to life, and the system continued to plant other trees.
She kept nagging, "It's been almost half a month, host, why haven't you woken up yet? Aren't you afraid the male master will abandon you?"
Lu Yuan, who was far away in the Northeast, was promoted to regimental commander as an exception because of his outstanding abilities and merits.
He was unhappy even after getting a promotion and a raise. He was still unhappy even when others complimented him.
The only time he showed any change in expression was when the logistics staff asked him if he wanted to move to the courtyard where Chen Junyan had lived.
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment: "I need to ask my wife!"
"When can Commander Lu give me an answer? I'd like to get things sorted out over there in advance."
"Let's wait a while. My wife is quite busy lately and I can't reach her at work."
This was a statement he came up with after discussing it with Brigade Commander He and Dean Huo.
To avoid rumors or anyone eyeing her position as the regimental commander's wife, they decided to keep Qiao Manman's illness a secret for the time being.
As for Meng Peiyu, everyone who returned from the Eastern Province said the same thing: "She brought a lot of explosives, refused to be caught even at the cost of her life, and finally lit the fuse..."
This argument was full of flaws, yet it was approved after Lu Yuan and Brigade Commander He had a secret meeting.
Meng Peiyu was branded as a spy chief and nailed to the pillar of shame.
Meng Hongsheng, Liang Fanqi, Meng Linyu, and Meng Guohao were either involved with spies, fugitives, sentenced to death, or sent to even more difficult places for further labor reform.
As for Xiao Jinbao, although he was tricked into marriage and left Kyoto, he enjoyed many benefits from Meng Peiyu along the way, failed to inform the police in time, and even tried to escape to a quiet life, thus being regarded as an accomplice.
Then there was Sang Sheng, who was found to be a descendant of Japanese. Through him, a long list of spies was uncovered, leading to a major purge.
Lu Yuan had been unable to take leave since taking office because he was dealing with this matter.
Although Ren Shaohui and Qiu Junfeng couldn't reveal the truth, they both remembered Qiao Manman's life-saving grace and took the initiative to attribute the credit to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan, the regimental commander, has been in office for a long time, but because of his meritorious service, he has a secure position.
He asked Brigade Commander He, "Where did Chen Junyan go after his demobilization?"
Brigade Commander He shook his head: "He didn't accept the position assigned by the army and just went to the countryside at random."
I called the local government a while ago, and they told me that he had switched production teams with someone else.
He probably doesn't want to contact us anymore.
Lu Yuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"What do you think about him and Meng Peiyu...?"
"It's all in the past. I trust Commander Chen's character."
"It's a pity that such a good soldier has to leave the army forever because of this incident. It shows that it's true that you should marry a virtuous wife."
Lu Yuan declined to comment, sighed, and left the brigade commander's office.
Back in his dorm, he took out the cotton-padded jacket that Qiao Manman had prepared for him and stroked it over and over again.
"Honey, please wake up soon, okay?"
He wanted to call Qiao Manman, but couldn't act rashly because of the lie.
Letting his thoughts churn, he finally took out his diary and wrote down his longing for his wife.
