Chapter 521
The villagers showed them the way, and they thanked them and hurried on.
After they walked away, several villagers gathered together to talk.
"Who are those two people? What do they want from Lin Wanxin? Why do they keep calling her sister-in-law? Xie Mingchen must be a high-ranking official in the army, right?"
"It's possible. I didn't expect Xie Mingchen to be so powerful. But aren't they divorced?"
"Who knows? It was Lin Wanxin herself who mentioned the divorce, and Xie Mingchen hasn't expressed his opinion yet."
There are very few outsiders coming into the village, let alone soldiers.
Captain Li had no idea that his arrival would cause such a commotion.
Almost half of the village was excited about their arrival.
Everyone stopped working and gathered together to talk about all kinds of gossip.
For them, these are things that they enjoy talking about and can discuss and verify over and over again.
Captain Li and Shen Zhenglun followed the instructions and arrived at Lin Wanxin's house.
"Is this here?"
Shen Zhenglun stood on tiptoe to look into the room and asked uncertainly.
"It should be here. It fits everything the fellow villager just said."
"At the foot of the mountain, there aren't many houses around. It couldn't be anywhere else if not here."
Captain Li made up his mind and reached out to knock on the iron gate outside.
Captain Li was very strong and the iron gate was banging loudly when he knocked on it.
"Who?"
A clear female voice was heard, and then a woman holding a child walked out of the house.
This woman looks pretty and has a very slim figure.
But what about the child in her arms?
Is this the child she had with Chief Cai, or is it that Chief Cai likes a married woman?
Why does this seem a bit complicated? Captain Li's brain froze, completely losing the ability to think.
"Could we have come to the wrong place?"
Captain Li’s first reaction was that he must have recognized the wrong person.
Shen Zhenglun had seen Lin Wanxin before, and the moment he saw her, he immediately greeted her warmly.
"Sister-in-law, it's me, Shen Zhenglun, do you still remember me?"
Before Lin Wanxin got divorced, Shen Zhenglun drove over to pick her up once.
And she had an excellent memory, so of course she remembered him.
"Oh, it's Comrade Shen. What's the matter with your sudden visit?"
Lin Wanxin opened the iron gate while holding the child and took the initiative to invite the two in.
After Lin Wanxin opened the door, she took the lead and walked in front, and Shen Zhenglun immediately followed in.
Captain Li followed behind them belatedly and didn't react for a long time.
Lin Wanxin asked them to sit on the chairs, and then asked Guo Yafang to pour them some water.
While Lin Wanxin was busy, Captain Li asked Shen Zhenglun in a low voice.
"W-what on earth is going on?"
"Is Comrade Lin married? And has children? Why haven't you told me this before?"
"Captain Li, this is a long story. I'll tell you in detail later when I have the chance."
Shen Zhenglun felt a little embarrassed. He had rushed here in such a hurry, but he hadn't told Captain Li such important information.
He always thought that Captain Li knew Lin Wanxin and must know everything about her.
Who would have thought that he only knew a name and an address, and didn't know anything else, but he rushed over in a hurry.
Captain Li sat aside with a gloomy face because he didn't know the details of the situation.
He was the most anxious when he came, and now his face looks the ugliest.
Seeing him like this, Shen Zhenglun could only take the initiative to tell him the purpose of his trip.
"Comrade Lin, the situation is this: Captain Cai was shot in the heart while on a mission and suffered extremely serious injuries."
"He was just brought back from surgery yesterday. He woke up once during the night and kept calling your name."
"The doctor said his condition is very unstable and he might never wake up again. He may also develop serious complications. He hopes to have someone familiar with him by his side to take care of him, which will help him recover."
