“Wife, I’m going to handle something. Be good and wait for me to come back.”
With her slender, jade-like fingers, Jiang Ning lifted the sharply defined face of the man in front of her and instructed him, “Don’t move around.”
The proud regiment commander, tamed in an instant, flushed red at the tips of his ears and nodded obediently. In his heart, he was already completely hooked—whatever his wife said, he would do. Her words were absolute law.
After Jiang Ning left, Lin Zishen and Wang Mian exchanged complicated looks. Being background tools was not easy—they were treated like air, and the couple’s affection was downright suffocatingly sweet.
Jiang Ning, meanwhile, headed straight to the nurse station after leaving the ward.
“Excuse me, could you tell me which office Doctor Wei is in?”
“Oh, third floor, right-hand side, fifth room.”
“Thank you!”
After confirming Wei Yaozong’s office location, Jiang Ning casually rubbed a small paper packet in her pocket and smiled faintly.
This packet of medicine had been bought at the black market for just 1.5 yuan when she went to buy piglets the other day.
Third floor. As a department head, Wei Yaozong had his own office, so it was easy to find.
She knocked—but no answer.
She turned the handle and walked in.
After scanning the room, her gaze landed on his personal water cup.
Jiang Ning glanced at the door. Seeing no one around, she quickly poured all the powder from the packet into the cup, then gently shook it to dissolve it before leaving swiftly.
The reason she acted first was simple—the medical report of her husband was too suspicious.
A bullet merely grazed past his heart, yet they confidently declared he could not have children.
Not only that, the news spread through the entire capital.
The He family held high status. If He Linzhou was labeled “incapable,” it was no different from branding him as a eunuch in a man’s world. As his wife, Jiang Ning would never allow this humiliation to follow him for life.
Before heading to the border for deployment, she had to settle this completely—make the instigator face consequences, and force the military hospital to publicly apologize.
After leaving Wei Yaozong’s office, Jiang Ning went directly to the hospital director’s office.
Director Luo frowned as he looked at the beautiful young woman in front of him.
“Comrade, what is it?”
“I am He Linzhou’s wife, Jiang Ning,” she said calmly. “I’m here to report Doctor Wei for personal retaliation and tampering with my husband’s medical examination report. I ask the hospital to investigate thoroughly.”
Director Luo’s brows tightened. “Medical report? You mean the one after He regiment commander’s surgery?”
“Yes,” Jiang Ning replied coldly. “Why does the hospital arbitrarily declare my husband infertile?”
“As the person who knows his condition best, I strongly question this diagnosis.”
“If Wei Yaozong tampered with the report due to personal connections, then this is gross negligence by the hospital.”
Director Luo broke into a cold sweat. “Comrade Jiang, I assure you, I will give you a satisfactory explanation!”
Before he could finish, a nurse rushed in, breathless.
“Director Luo! Something bad happened! Doctor Wei and Nurse Qi… they’re involved in indecent behavior!”
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly.
In the 1970s, indecency was a serious crime. Combined with falsifying medical reports, it could easily lead to severe punishment.
Director Luo’s eyes widened. “What?!”
“Take me there immediately!”
He hurried upstairs with a group following behind.
When they arrived, Wei Yaozong had already gone mad after drinking the “special” water—he was attacking anyone he saw.
Screams filled the hospital. Patients and families gathered to watch.
Nurse Qi struggled, both frightened and conflicted.
Director Luo roared, “Wei Yaozong! What are you doing? Let her go!”
Startled, Wei Yaozong finally realized the situation and panicked.
“This is her scheme! She seduced me!”
But Nurse Qi, tearful and furious, retorted, “You were the one who attacked me first!”
The crowd erupted in chaos.
Soon, Wei Yaozong was restrained.
“I am the victim!” he shouted desperately. “You can’t arrest me!”
But no one listened anymore.
Back in the ward, Jiang Ning was in a very good mood. She hooked her finger under He Linzhou’s chin and kissed him lightly.
“Let’s go home.”
He Linzhou froze, then his throat bobbed heavily. “…Mm. Home.”
Under the stunned gazes of Lin Zishen and Wang Mian, the two left hand in hand.
As they walked away, He Linzhou suddenly felt all his pain disappear. His only thought was to hurry home and do the thing he had been thinking about for a long time.
Looking at his wife leaning so trustingly against him, his voice dropped low:
“Wife, I want…”
