These days, enemy spies are not uncommon, especially in border areas.
Wen Nuan had heard from Gu Qinghan before that one of the tasks in their night training was to punch balloons.
The other side often sends out reconnaissance planes at night and releases some balloons, which contain some beautiful promotional leaflets about the other side.
There were people who were deceived by those small advertisements and defected.
The military is the top priority, especially the navy and air force bases, because these two bases have the best escape tools, ships and planes.
Therefore, the political review of these two units is the most stringent, especially the political review of pilots, which can be said to be the most difficult to pass in the entire organization.
It is also the base that the enemy spies most want to capture.
It would be a huge asset if we could get a pilot and a fighter plane.
Gu Qinghan had told her before that during the years when the other side was the most rampant, the radio station over there broadcast a message offering 4,000 taels of gold and beautiful women to the rank of lieutenant colonel, hoping to lure the soldiers of the army over there.
Fortunately, they were all intercepted by the organization. However, as to whether someone really betrayed the organization, this is also a secret of the organization, and ordinary people have no way of knowing it.
Even now, enemy agents are still actively infiltrating the masses, but unexpectedly they are even so rampant as to infiltrate the army.
Wen Nuan looked at Gu Qinghan's frowning brows and asked in a low voice, "Are you trying to frame us?"
This seemed too normal. Gu Qinghan was the most outstanding pilot. If he was knocked down, there would undoubtedly be a big threat lost.
Moreover, Gu Qinghan is the test pilot of the new fighter jet, so there must be a lot of people watching him.
Gu Qinghan subconsciously glanced in the direction of the small room, then pulled Wen Nuan back into the room and whispered, "It doesn't seem like a frame-up, but more like using the child to pass on a message."
Moreover, the password looks like it was drawn by a child, and there are some very childish drawings on the side, like a child's scribbles.
It is very likely that someone used the child's hand, or deliberately imitated the child's technique. If you don't look carefully, you won't realize that it is actually Morse code.
Therefore, the enemy spies probably rely on ignorant children to pass on intelligence information.
After all, who would have guessed that the cunning enemy agent would actually put a note in Morse code in the schoolbag of a three or four-year-old child
Seeing his wife was frightened, Gu Qinghan said slowly, "And the meaning of this note is: wait."
Wen Nuan repeated: "Wait?"
Gu Qinghan nodded, then pulled Wen Nuan back to the bed and asked her to sit down first before saying, "Maybe you are waiting for an opportunity, or for a person. I don't know yet."
This note was most likely misplaced by some child and was brought home by Lele by accident.
If it was a frame-up, this note would not be enough to convict him of any crime.
The other party would not be so stupid as to use such a crude and inferior method to frame a key figure of a flight team. It would only be doomed to failure.
Moreover, rather than defeating him, the other party probably wanted Gu Qinghan to betray them.
After all, the value of a fighter pilot in this era and the intelligence he holds cannot be measured by money.
Wen Nuan thought for a moment, held her round belly with her hand, and said, "Le Le brought a doll home today, and many of her classmates played with it. There were also a few picture books in her schoolbag, but they were not hers. I guess the children exchanged toys with each other and put them in there."
Children often make noises. Lele once brought back Huahua’s clothes by mistake, and books and pens are even more common.
However, Lele would pack her own schoolbag every weekend, and Wen Nuan didn't pay much attention to her after she started kindergarten.
Unexpectedly, she discovered this thing by accident tonight.
Wen Nuan looked at her husband's thoughtful expression and asked, "Since it's not a frame-up, should we not alert the enemy first?"
"I'm afraid the snake has been frightened." Gu Qinghan chuckled: "They are very careful. If they find that their whereabouts may be leaked, they will immediately destroy all evidence and find new channels to contact them. I'm afraid they will not use this method to contact us during this period of time."
The methods they use are ever-changing, so it is impossible for them to make such a serious mistake and continue to communicate in this way.
Wen Nuan frowned and sighed: "Wouldn't it be difficult to catch the other party?"
Gu Qinghan hugged his wife in his arms, then leaned her head towards him and placed one hand on her belly.
He said gently, "On the contrary. At least we can be sure that there is more than one person on the other side. When there are too many people, it will be easy to be exposed."
And the scope has also been narrowed. At least one of them must have a child at home, otherwise it would be impossible for him to get into the school.
It has to be said that Gu Qinghan could hardly have imagined that those people would use children as a bridge.
But since there was a mistake, the other party would probably lose their composure, and he could catch them in a trap.
Wen Nuan looked at Gu Qinghan worriedly and asked, "Will the child be in danger? Should we not let Lele go to school?"
To be honest, Wen Nuan was also afraid because he was her sweetheart.
If anything happened to Lele, Wen Nuan couldn't imagine the consequences.
And there is not only Lele in the kindergarten, there are many lovely children, each of them is the apple of their parents' eyes.
No matter which child gets into trouble, it will be a major trauma to the troops, and their troops will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to any of the children."
Gu Qinghan knew Wen Nuan's worry, and tightened his arms around her.
Wen Nuan glanced at the man in disbelief. From his determined look, she could tell that Gu Qinghan was confident that he could catch the man.
She leaned into the man's arms and said, "Then go to the teacher's office early tomorrow and report this to him. Ask him to arrange for someone to protect the children in the kindergarten."
When such a big thing happens in the army, it must be reported to the superior leader immediately, especially the one with the biggest boss in the army.
Wen Nuan began to worry. Would Gu Qinghan be in danger if he was caught up in this vortex
"No rush." Gu Qinghan said softly, "The fewer people who know about this, the better."
"At this time, everyone is a suspect."
Although in this day and age, it will definitely not infiltrate such high-level leaders.
But Gu Qinghan also has to be cautious. Even if he wants to report to his superiors, he has to do an investigation beforehand.
You have to exclude the senior leaders first before reporting.
Wen Nuan listened to Gu Qinghan's words, her eyes widened, and she looked at him in disbelief: "You even... "
Wen Nuan did not say the word "doubt".
After all, she still trusts Commander Xu very much, but her trust is not important because her position is different from Gu Qinghan's.
What he needs to consider is the safety of the entire army. Every step he takes is a cliff and must be taken with caution.
Gu Qinghan only said calmly: "If Commander Lu was in our army, I wouldn't tell him right away."
After all, if there are enemy spies inside, then the entire corps will have problems, from the commander, division commander, brigade commander, political commissar... to the guards, military families, and every child will become a subject of suspicion.
Whoever this is, we must rule them out one by one.
Especially since this is an air force base, if the person who defected is a pilot, he may just fly a fighter jet and escape from the unit.
It is also possible that they might fly fighter jets to attack other pilots, causing irreparable losses and casualties, and then their superiors would not be able to escape the fate of having to eat peanuts.
So he must be cautious.
Wen Nuan looked at the man. It was difficult for her to understand, but she also knew that the pressure Gu Qinghan was under at this moment was greater than any other mission.
Wen Nuan felt that the man's body was always tense, so she asked him jokingly: "Why don't you doubt me? Aren't you afraid of me..."
Before she finished her words, Gu Qinghan kissed her, interrupted her and said, "You have done so many things for the army and the institute, and you even made compressed biscuits before. Commander Xu is going to give you a third-class merit. Would such a person betray the organization?"
"Besides, you are my wife, my revolutionary partner, and I have confidence in you."
When Wen Nuan heard the man's words, she was stunned. She looked at him stupidly and suddenly felt her eyes getting a little hot.
It feels so good to be trusted and favored.
She reached out and hugged Gu Qinghan's neck, resting her head on his warm shoulder, and choked up and said, "I swear on my life that I will be loyal to the organization for the rest of my life and will never do anything to betray the organization."
The motherland is becoming stronger and stronger. She is extremely fortunate to have grown up in this great land of China, but she also knows that every step along the way has not been easy for the motherland.
She was born in a peaceful era, grew up under the national flag, and her heart is as red as that flag.
Like Gu Qinghan, she is loyal to this land and this country.
Gu Qinghan met Wen Nuan's sparkling eyes and said seriously, "I will be loyal to you and the country all my life. Don't worry, I will protect the child and find the person as soon as possible."
The two of them snuggled together, neither of them speaking.
Until the warm belly gave a hard kick to the naughty little guy, even Gu Qinghan's palm that was covering it could feel it clearly.
Gu Qinghan didn't dare to hug her casually now. He gently rubbed her warm belly and said with a smile: "The child wants you to sleep, so go to sleep."
Then Gu Qinghan lowered his head, leaned into her warm belly, and said, "Don't be naughty, let mom have a good rest."
Wen Nuan touched the man's slightly prickly hair and said, "Then let's go to bed quickly. When you send Lele to kindergarten tomorrow, check if there are any suspicious people."
Wen Nuan was also worried, afraid that those people's whereabouts would be exposed and they would hold the child hostage.
Gu Qinghan knew that she was worried about the child, so he lay down beside her and patted her back gently.
Not until Wen Nuan fell into a deep sleep did Gu Qinghan tiptoe out of bed, then walked out of the room and wandered into the night.
*
Wen Nuan couldn't sleep well the whole night, not only because she was in the late stage of pregnancy, but also because she was worried.
I woke up several times in a daze last night, and it seemed that I didn’t see Gu Qinghan around.
But when Wen Nuan woke up the next day, Gu Qinghan was already up and was brushing Lele's teeth.
Wen Nuan saw Chen Ma busy in the kitchen, so she walked over to Gu Qinghan calmly and asked, "Are you sending the kids to school today?"
There was a period of time before when Chen's mother sent the children there, and Wen Nuan did not go with them.
Sometimes Lele would cry and ask Wen Nuan to go and take the baby to school, and Gu Qinghan would explain to her that her mother was not feeling well and at most her father could go and take the baby to school.
Gu Qinghan nodded: "Well, I'll take it."
Wen Nuan hesitated for two seconds, but ultimately said nothing and went to check Lele's schoolbag.
The note is no longer there. It must have been kept by Gu Qinghan.
After brushing his teeth, Lele yawned, hugged Wen Nuan, and said, "Mom, I'm going to school. You and the baby should wait for me at home."
Seeing that the little girl was still wet, Wen Nuan smiled, bent down and kissed her on the face, and said, "Okay, then you listen to the teacher, okay?"
"I know." Lele also kissed Wen Nuan's face and waved to her: "Mom, Dad and I are going to school. Bye."
Wen Nuan walked out the door and watched the child and Gu Qinghan leave, but Gu Qinghan behaved as usual.
Wen Nuan thought about it and turned back into the house. She couldn't help Gu Qinghan now, but at least she couldn't hold him back.
Thinking of this, Wen Nuan released a few chicks from the chicken coop and fed them some feed.
For three consecutive days, the family compound was calm and peaceful, and the appearance of enemy spies in the army should not have been reported yet.
But Wen Nuan knew that Gu Qinghan had been going out late at night these past few days and would not return home until the bugle sounded in the morning.
Although Wen Nuan was very worried about his health, since Gu Qinghan didn't say anything, she didn't ask too much.
*
It was Saturday, so Wen Nuan let Le Le stay at home and play for two days. Probably because he didn't get enough sleep, he didn't wake up until after eight o'clock.
Gu Qinghan was busy as usual. Not long after he left the yard, Huahua's grandmother, Aunt Lin, came to their house.
But Aunt Lin was a little different today, she looked very angry.
Wen Nuan was just about to tell her that Lele would not go to kindergarten today, but Aunt Lin opened her mouth and said, "Lele's mother, your child gave our Huahua a bag of biscuits yesterday, but our Huahua, her brother and sister and I ate them last night and got diarrhea!"
Aunt Lin put her hands on her hips, looked at Wen Nuan, and asked in a bad tone, "Did you make those cookies?"
Wen Nuan frowned and didn't answer her question. She asked, "Aunt Lin, why do you think you got diarrhea because you ate my biscuits?"
Yesterday, sister-in-law Juxiang brought some biscuits over for Wen Nuan to taste. She and Aunt Chen ate them, but nothing happened to them.
Later, when Mother Chen went to pick up her child from school, she probably feared that Lele would be hungry on the way, so she brought some biscuits for her.
Maybe Lele gave some to Huahua after school.
But this is not the first time that Lele and Huahua have shared snacks. Although the two families cannot be said to have a very good relationship, they do have some friendship when they meet.
Besides, the biscuits were made by the kitchen staff.
The hygiene of their kitchen was not particularly good, but it certainly met the requirements, otherwise how could they safely feed the soldiers of the entire unit
However, it is still unclear why Aunt Lin and her family have diarrhea.
But Aunt Lin was right, she would never let Lele share his food with others again!
Aunt Lin immediately frowned after hearing Wen Nuan's words: "We have been in the army for so long, and we have never experienced such a situation. It is because of eating your food that I have diarrhea. If it is not your family, who else could it be?"
After hearing Auntie Lin's noise, Auntie Chen came out without even washing the pot and explained, "Comrade Lin, don't accuse me so easily! We also ate biscuits, so how come we are fine but you have diarrhea? Did you only eat biscuits last night and nothing else?"
"You..." Aunt Lin was so stunned by Aunt Chen's words that she didn't know how to refute. Her face flushed and she said, "The food in our house is almost the same every day. We were fine before, so why do we feel uncomfortable after eating your food?"
"Bah!" Aunt Chen spat, "Don't open your mouth and slander others. You obviously ate other things too, but you still think that there is something wrong with our cookies?!"
Mother Chen went back to the house, and then took out another paper bag of biscuits. She ate two of them first and said, "Here, I still have those biscuits. I'll eat them for you to see. You just wait and see if I get diarrhea!"
The two aunts were talking a little loudly. It happened to be Saturday, so many people heard the noise and craned their necks to look over.
They whispered to their family.
Aunt Lin frowned as she saw more and more people gathered around. She looked at Wen Nuan and said, "Le Le's mom, I didn't come here to settle accounts with you, let alone to cause you trouble. I just wanted to remind you not to feed unclean things to others, so as to avoid harming others without knowing it."
Then she looked at Chen's mother meaningfully and said, "Even if the food itself is clean, it may not be clean after passing through so many people's hands. Was it your relative who went to pick up your Lele last night?"
Aunt Lin rolled her eyes and snorted, "Forget it this time. We'll see each other sooner or later. I just came here to give you a reminder."
Wen Nuan frowned. Forget it
She held onto the door frame, looked at Aunt Lin, snorted and laughed, and said, "Forget it, but I can't just let it go. You can leave after you figure this out."
After slandering her, he was still sarcastic to Aunt Chen. Do you want to leave now
How will the people in the family compound look at them in the future
Seeing Wen Nuan about to leave the yard, Chen Ma walked over to support her, only to hear Wen Nuan slowly say, "You came to my house, saying that the things in my house are not clean, and you want to harm you. This is naked slander and rumor! How can I stay in the family compound in the future?"
Sister Guihua from the next door house heard the noise and came out a long time ago. After listening to Wen Nuan's words, she finally understood what was going on.
Then he came over holding the pillar and couldn't help but interrupt: "Aunt Lin, we can't just let this go. Those biscuits were sent by the comrades from the kitchen team yesterday, and we ate them, but we were fine. Why are you the only ones who are in trouble?"
"You want to leave just because you've ruined someone's reputation? No way. I believe in Comrade Wen Nuan and Aunt Chen. They won't hurt anyone!"
Just kidding, Zhang Guihua has eaten countless meals at Wen Nuan's place in the past three years, and I can guarantee that the food at Wen Nuan's place is cleaner than what the kitchen staff prepares!
Besides, Aunt Chen is from Commander Lu's side, and she has made a lot of delicious food for them in the past few months, all of which are clean.
Aunt Lin looked at Zhang Guihua and Chen Ma beside Wen Nuan, and for a moment she couldn't find any words to refute, her face turned ashen.
After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Who else could it be if not her family? We just ate the cookies given by her child. Ask Chen's mother if she took them to the kindergarten yesterday?"
"Huahua's parents didn't eat them, so they were fine. Only the few of us who ate the cookies had diarrhea!"
Aunt Lin looked at Zhang Guihua and frowned: "You are all her family members, you must have helped her. Several children in our family have collapsed, it's heartbreaking to see them."
Aunt Lin looked around and asked the onlookers, "Is that right? It's not a big deal for adults to have a stomachache, but it's not the same for children. The children are still so young, who wouldn't feel sorry for them?"
Seeing that more people were watching, Wen Nuan simply raised her voice, "It's because the child is in trouble that we can't just let it go. I'm willing to cooperate with you to go to the political commissar to get to the bottom of it. I won't let you suffer any grievances, and you shouldn't slander me and Aunt Chen and ruin our reputation!"
When Aunt Lin heard that Wen Nuan refused to admit her fault and wanted to report it to the political commissar, she became so angry that her face turned red, "You!"
"I've already said I won't pursue the matter. I came here just to give you a warning. Don't be so shameless!"
Wen Nuan looked at her speechlessly, and felt that she needed to teach her a lesson, so she said directly: "If you don't pursue it, I will. If this is my fault, I am willing to take responsibility and compensate you for your losses. But if you slandered me, you have to apologize to me!"
"you… "
Aunt Lin used to quarrel and fight with others in her hometown. She was so angry at Wen Nuan that she took two steps forward and said, "Since you are pregnant, I won't bother with you about this matter today. Don't make trouble, or I will teach you a lesson even if you are pregnant!"
Wen Nuan took two steps towards her, raised her chin slightly, and snorted: "I'm telling you, I'm relying on my status as a pregnant woman to continue to argue with you! Come, let me see how you teach me a lesson!"
When Aunt Chen heard Wen Nuan say this, she quickly stood in front of her. Aunt Liang also rushed over quickly and protected her behind her.
Seeing this, the onlookers said to Aunt Lin, "Aunt Lin, if you are so sure that it is Comrade Wen's fault, why don't you go to the political commissar to ask for an explanation? You can't just let it go when your whole family is upset, right? Comrade Wen has said that he is willing to take responsibility, so what are you afraid of?"
"That's right. This matter can be big or small. On a big scale, it's something that was made by the kitchen team, and you have to give an explanation to the organization. On a small scale, your whole family has diarrhea, so you can't say you won't pursue it."
Aunt Lin felt a little flustered by what everyone said, but if she really reported it to the political commissar, it seemed a bit of an exaggeration. Her son definitely didn't want her to cause such a thing.
The more Aunt Lin thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Listening to what the crowd said, she felt that these people were just there to watch the show and had no intention of speaking for her at all.
But seeing Wen Nuan and the others being so arrogant, and thinking about how I had stayed up all night last night taking care of the poop and piss of those naughty kids, I felt very angry.
"Okay, let's go. If you have nothing to do with this matter, I will never forgive you!"
Just as she finished speaking, a tall and thin figure ran out from the other end of the alley, and then ran to Aunt Lin's side, panting and saying, "Grandma, it's not good. My mom came back from the night shift and is vomiting and having diarrhea at home. Go back and take a look, and take her to the hospital as soon as possible."
Aunt Lin was stunned, looked at her granddaughter in disbelief, and asked, "How could this happen?"
The little girl panted and replied: "Grandma, go back and save my mom!"
Aunt Lin no longer cared about going to the political commissar and ran back home with her eldest granddaughter.
Aunt Liang smelled the scent of the melon, and pulled another aunt from the opposite alley over with the people from the Lin family.
*
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when Aunt Liang came back. Before she even sat down to rest, she ran to Wen Nuan's house.
Panting, he said, "That Aunt Lin is really infuriating."
"She went to the woods to pick mushrooms yesterday, and gave them to the children without cooking them thoroughly. As a result, they were poisoned! Fortunately, her daughter-in-law rushed them to the hospital in time, otherwise it would be a big trouble."
Wen Nuan frowned and asked, "What about the child?"
She knew it definitely wasn't her problem, but the Lin family had several children, including Lin Guoqiang's four children and two boys from his hometown. If several children ate it, it would be a big problem.
Aunt Liang said, "The children didn't eat much, so they had diarrhea a few times. They are fine now. They are all at home, and their brothers and sisters are taking care of them."
"Aunt Lin actually had the nerve to say that she became like this because she ate the biscuits from the kitchen. How foolish! Now everyone in the family compound is talking about it. Aunt Lin actually had the nerve to come to your house to cause trouble. Everyone should find a time to talk to her. This is wrongly accusing a good person. Who will dare to learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds in the future?"
Sister Guihua was taking Zhuzi to learn how to walk. She snorted when she heard this: "Our Lele often brings them delicious food and fun things. But when something goes wrong, they blame others. Who would be willing to let their children play with their children in the future? They really hurt the children."
Although children are not sensible, many parents would rather have less trouble than more.
In short, Aunt Lin's indiscriminate behavior this time will definitely bring trouble to the child.
Aunt Chen hugged Lele, who knew nothing, and was also angry: "Every time our Lele gave Huahua something to eat, Aunt Lin would take a lot of it. Every time she took, she would take almost all of Lele's snacks. I don't know how much of Lele's snacks she has eaten. She is so old, but she still does such a thing. It's disgusting!"
Speaking of this, Wen Nuan thought that she should find some time to teach Le Le not to share food with others so easily.
It would be good if nothing happened, but it would be really terrible if something happened.
But Huahua is a very smart and cute child, and Lele has a lot of fun playing with her. This was all Aunt Lin's fault, so it's definitely not the child's fault.
In the family courtyard that evening, everyone gathered together with their bowls in hand to discuss what had happened that day, and all expressed their sympathy for Wen Nuan.
You had good intentions but ended up doing something bad. Don’t you have to avoid Aunt Lin from now on
Wen Nuan didn't think too much about it and had dinner at home with Le Le and Chen Ma.
Gu Qinghan didn't come home until eight o'clock in the evening. He seemed to have heard about Aunt Lin's affairs. As soon as he entered the door, he pulled Wen Nuan to look around and asked her:
"I heard that Aunt Lin came here to cause trouble today? Are you okay?"
Wen Nuan smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, she's just being unreasonable. She probably just wants to vent her anger on someone."
But she is not someone you can easily mess with. If it is not her problem, she will definitely not admit it.
Besides, she didn't have the energy to care about other things right now. As long as the enemy spies were not caught, she would feel uneasy.
When Chen's mother took Lele out to play, Wen Nuan was about to ask Gu Qinghan if there was any progress, but Gu Qinghan whispered to her first: "Go to bed early tonight, I have something to do. If there is any movement in the family compound, you can't run out, understand?"
Wen Nuan nodded, and immediately understood what Gu Qinghan meant. "I see. You should also pay attention to safety."
