Chapter 198 Zhu Chao is discharged from the military
Not only Sun Mei, but Zhu Chao was also completely unaware of the situation.
"I haven't done anything wrong, why are you arresting me?" He became even more indignant when he saw that the people in front of him were from the intelligence team.
Huo Yanchuan cannot take advantage of being his superior to arbitrarily arrest people.
"Take him away," Gao Weidong said loudly, his face cold.
Zhu Chao was then taken away by them without any hesitation.
As soon as Aunt Zhu reached the door, she saw Zhu Chao being taken away, so she rushed forward to try to stop him.
"What are you doing? What did my son do wrong? Where are you taking him?"
At this moment, Sun Mei also ran out. She went to Aunt Zhu's side and said anxiously, "Mom, they won't say why, they insist on taking Zhu Chao away. What should we do?"
"Xiaomei, Mom, I'm fine, don't worry," Zhu Chao comforted them even at this moment.
He thought Huo Yanchuan wouldn't find out what he had done, so he wasn't afraid at all.
Hearing Zhu Chao say this, Sun Mei and Aunt Zhu could only put their minds at ease for the time being.
Zhu Chao was taken to the intelligence group, where Huo Yanchuan was already waiting.
Although Zhu Chao always felt resentful towards Huo Yanchuan, he still became somewhat intimidated when he saw him.
"Commander Huo, what are you doing? I haven't done anything wrong, why are your intelligence team arresting me?"
Huo Yanchuan, with a cold face, held Zhu Chao's medical report in his hand and handed it to him.
"Take a look at this first. You haven't done anything illegal or disorderly, but as a soldier, your promiscuous relationships are a disgrace to the military and to the uniform you wear. And you still have the nerve to ask me why I arrested you?"
Huo Yanchuan's face was gloomy, and he angrily kicked the man away.
Zhu Chao froze upon hearing the examination report. Ignoring the pain, he picked it up from the ground and began to read it.
"Gonorrhea? This...this is impossible, how could I possibly have this disease?"
He stared in disbelief at the results on the test report, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
That woman...
It's her...it must be her...
He never imagined that he would contract this disease just because he indulged himself once.
It must be that the woman was unclean and infected him.
"Commander Huo... I was wrong, I will never do it again. That woman plotted against me. I am also a victim. You have to believe me and help me. I can't be discharged from the army."
Zhu Chao started to panic at this point. If he were to be expelled from the army because of this, his future would be ruined.
"Help you? You have to bear the consequences of your own actions. No one can help you with this. Just stay here and wait for the military's punishment decision."
Huo Yanchuan didn't bother to look at him again, ordered Gao Weidong to lock him up, and then turned and left.
Zhu Chao tried to struggle, but unfortunately Huo Yanchuan didn't give him any chance at all.
Subsequently, he led his men to investigate Zhu Chao's movements during this period and quickly located the woman.
To his surprise, the woman was indeed a member of a spy organization, and Zhu Chao had indeed been tricked by her.
Her goal was to infect more people, especially soldiers in the military.
Hearing this, Huo Yanchuan's face darkened even more.
"Commander, after investigation, only Zhu Chao fell for her trick and contracted gonorrhea," the investigators reported to Huo Yanchuan.
Huo Yanchuan nodded. If Zhu Chao hadn't been so malicious, he wouldn't have been infected.
He said it was ultimately his own fault, and he had no one else to blame.
Huo Yanchuan ordered the woman to be detained; such an act warrants immediate execution.
As for Zhu Chao, considering his previous contributions to the military, the only option was to expel him from the military and remove him from the army.
Even so, with that disease, he'll have enough to suffer for the rest of his life.
Wenrou was woken up early in the morning without knowing what was going on.
When she came out, she learned that Zhu Chao had been taken away.
Sun Mei and Aunt Zhu were still at a loss because Zhu Chao had been taken away. Aunt Zhu collapsed to the ground and refused to get up, crying and saying that the intelligence team was bullying her.
"I won't get up! Why are you bullying me like this? What did my son do that you're taking him away?" Aunt Zhu cried out, and soon a crowd of onlookers gathered around.
Just then, Sister Wang came over to talk to Wenrou about things in the fields. She saw this scene as soon as she reached the door and was immediately stunned.
Zhu Chao was taken away?
What's going on?
At this moment, Aunt Zhu and Sun Mei also saw Sister Wang. Aunt Zhu, in particular, looked as smug as she had been in front of Sister Wang before, and now she looked as disheveled as ever.
"What are you looking at? It's all a misunderstanding that my son was taken away. He'll be back soon," Aunt Zhu said to Sister Wang while crying.
Sister-in-law Wang looked indifferent; she had absolutely no interest in the Zhu family's affairs.
She and Zhu Chao divorced, and no matter what he did, it had nothing to do with her anymore.
She glanced coldly at Aunt Zhu and Sun Mei, then looked away, walked past them, and arrived at Wenrou's door.
"Sister-in-law, you're here." Wenrou looked pleased when she saw Sister-in-law Wang passing by Aunt Zhu earlier.
Seeing that Sister Wang was finally different from before and no longer soft-hearted towards the Zhu family, she was very gratified.
"Xiaorou, what happened? Why was Zhu Chao taken away?" Sister-in-law Wang asked with a puzzled look in front of Wenrou.
She wasn't concerned about Zhu Chao; she was just genuinely curious.
"He..." Wenrou paused for a moment before continuing, "Zhu Chao's medical examination results came back negative. He has gonorrhea, which used to be called venereal disease. It's a sexually transmitted disease that only people who have promiscuous relationships can get. That's why he was taken in for investigation."
"Gonorrhea?" Sister Wang was also shocked when she heard this.
She knew that Zhu Chao was dishonest and had always been cowardly, but for Xiao Ya's sake, she had endured it and continued to live with him.
I never imagined he would contract this disease because of this incident; he really deserves it.
"Will he be able to have children in the future?" Sister-in-law Wang continued to ask.
"If someone gets this disease, not only will the child be at risk, but they might not even survive." Wenrou didn't care what others thought; she just felt a sense of satisfaction upon hearing this.
Zhu Chao, that beast, deserved to end up like this.
"Then Sun Mei wouldn't also..." Sister Wang looked at Sun Mei in the yard, who was still completely unaware of the matter.
Wenrou thought of the commotion she heard next door last night. Sun Mei and Zhu Chao had done all that, so the chances of them getting infected were probably high.
"What they do is none of your business anymore, sister-in-law. Just relax and live your own life."
Although Wenrou didn't say it explicitly, Sister-in-law Wang could guess it.
She nodded and went inside with Wenrou to discuss business.
In the afternoon, the results of Zhu Chao's investigation were finally released.
Huo Yanchuan brought him back with his men. Although it had been investigated and found that he had no connection with the spy organization, his promiscuous relationships were enough to get him fired.
"Discharged from the military? On what grounds?" Sun Mei was immediately agitated when she heard that Zhu Chao had been discharged from the military.
She chose to marry Zhu Chao because of the allowance he received from his military unit, which would be enough to support her and her son.
If he is discharged from the military, I will have to go back to the countryside with him.
At that time, let alone the allowance, she would probably have to go back with him and suffer, which she could not accept.
"Zhu Chao's promiscuous relationships have seriously damaged the reputation of the military. Dismissing him from the military is the lightest punishment he can receive," Huo Yanchuan said coldly.
Sun Mei and Aunt Zhu were both taken aback when they heard his words.
"How is that possible? How could my son be having affairs? He has a wife. Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Aunt Zhu still simply couldn't believe what her son had done.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yanchuan glanced at Gao Weidong.
Gao Weidong immediately understood Huo Yanchuan's meaning, so he took out Zhu Chao's medical report from his pocket and handed it to Aunt Zhu and Sun Mei.
"This is Zhu Chao's medical report. Take a good look at what's inside. We were able to convict him because we had evidence. Now you should focus on how to treat him."
After Gao Weidong finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Chao with a look of disgust.
He would be ashamed to be comrades with someone like that.
"Gonorrhea? How is that possible?" Sun Mei's expression changed immediately after carefully reading the test report.
She looked at Zhu Chao, unable to believe that he had contracted such a sexually transmitted disease.
"You yesterday... then I..." Sun Mei suddenly remembered that she and Zhu Chao had done what they were supposed to do yesterday, and her face immediately turned panicked.
She stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped Zhu Chao hard across the face. "Zhu Chao, you beast! What have you done? You've been messing around with women, why are you trying to hurt me?"
Sun Mei now wishes she could take a knife and kill Zhu Chao, because he has ruined her life.
What if she gets infected too?
Zhu Chao was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, unable to believe what had happened.
What should I do?
He didn't want to get this disease either; it's all that woman's fault.
"I'm sorry, I don't know... I don't know anything, I don't know how it happened?" Zhu Chao was at a loss and could only keep apologizing.
"What's the use of saying sorry? I really regret marrying you. If anything happens to me, your Zhu family won't have an easy time either."
As she spoke, Sun Mei hurriedly led her son out of the family compound gate. She was going to town for a medical check-up to see if there was any way to remedy the situation.
Aunt Zhu had lost her earlier arrogance. She looked at Zhu Chao's medical report. Although she didn't know what gonorrhea was, she knew about venereal diseases.
If you get this disease, forget about having children; you might not even be able to save your face or your life.
"You...you good-for-nothing! Look what you've done! Getting you a wife wasn't enough, you had to go out and mess around. Now look what's happened, my precious grandson is completely gone."
Aunt Zhu stepped forward and started pulling at Zhu Chao's clothes, crying and hitting him.
Zhu Chao sat motionless on the ground, letting Aunt Zhu beat him, his eyes devoid of light.
Seeing this, Huo Yanchuan glanced at Zhu Chao and left with his men.
At this moment, the people in the family compound who saw this scene also felt disgusted by it and looked at Zhu Chao's family with disdain.
"Tsk, I never expected that Zhu Chao would cheat on his wife with other women. Now he's caught that filthy disease, his life is over."
"Sun Mei is pitiful. She had only been married to Zhu Chao for a short time when this happened."
"To be honest, she's no good either. As soon as Zhu Chaogang got into trouble, she took her son and left. It's true what they say about second-marriage couples being unreliable."
"Yes, she was so good to him when Sister Wang was alive. She was such a good person, but he was never satisfied. He insisted on divorcing her. Now look what's happened, he married Sun Mei and he's made such a mess of things?"
The onlookers showed no sympathy whatsoever, only insults and disdain.
Hearing these words, Aunt Zhu and Zhu Chao felt their hearts sink even further.
Wenrou looked indifferent upon seeing this scene.
The more proud Zhu Chao's family was before, the more miserable they are now.
There's a saying that "every pitiful person has something hateful about them," and that perfectly describes them.
They should have known that they would one day be despised by others because they bullied Sister Wang so much in the past.
The day has finally come. Fortunately, Sister-in-law Wang had long since broken away from Zhu Chao and his family of bloodsuckers. Now, they have to bear the consequences of the seeds they have sown.
Huo Yanchuan walked to the door and saw his wife still watching the commotion, looking helpless.
"By the way, I've already spoken to Sister-in-law Wang. No matter how much Zhu Chao and the others beg, don't let her soften her heart," Wenrou said to Huo Yanchuan.
"That's good." Huo Yanchuan nodded.
At this moment, Li Xiuying heard the commotion and came out to see what was going on. When she heard about Zhu Chao's family, she also spat at them.
"What bad luck! People like this should have been discovered and kicked out sooner."
Immediately afterward, Jiang Yan heard the noise and prepared to come out and see what was going on.
Seeing this, Wenrou quickly went inside with Huo Yanchuan, and pulled Jiang Yan in as well.
"Alright, let's not meddle in other people's drama. Let's just focus on living our own lives."
She spoke gently, reaching out to pat Jiang Yan's head, and asked, "You're going to school in town soon, how are your preparations going?"
Jiang Yan nodded. "Everything is ready."
Actually, he didn't have much to prepare, but the thought of living at school from now on made him feel a little uneasy.
Most importantly, he couldn't bear to part with Wenrou, Li Xiuying, and his sisters.
The thought of only being able to see them once a week made him reluctant to go.
"You'll be going to school in town from now on, which is far from home. If anything happens, just go to the transport team; they're closer to town."
Wenrou was also a little reluctant to part with him. This child was aloof and didn't like to get along with people. She was worried that if someone bullied him in town, what would happen?
