Chapter 204 She is the division commander's wife!
Ding Hongmei shook her head and twisted her body nervously, making "woo woo woo" noises.
"Ma Fu," the short man called out.
The man with a horse-like face responded, then grabbed Ding Hongmei by the hair, lifted her up, and slapped her hard across the face with his large, fan-like hand, causing her nose to bleed. "You bitch, behave yourself."
Ding Hongmei shook her head, tears mixed with blood, looking utterly miserable.
Ma Fu looked on with disgust and was about to hit her again, but was stopped by the short man, "Wait, tear off the tape from her mouth."
Ma Fu forcefully ripped the tape off Ding Hongmei's mouth, and the force was so great that Ding Hongmei's mouth immediately became red and swollen. But she couldn't care less about anything else at the moment and immediately said, "Please, please don't kill me. I'm a military wife. I can provide useful information."
The two men exchanged a glance. As if afraid they wouldn't believe her, Ding Hongmei continued, "I, my name is Ding Hongmei, my husband's name is Yang Fan, he is..." She was practically introducing herself.
Wang Chunmei, who was slowly waking up, could hardly believe that these words came from Ding Hongmei, a military wife, which completely changed her impression of Ding Hongmei.
Gomin, the short man, became interested, moved a wooden stool to sit down, and patted Ding Hongmei's face with a small knife in his hand. "Tell me, if it's useful information, it's not impossible for me to spare your life."
Ding Hongmei immediately grasped at the last straw and spilled the beans, revealing the layout of the family compound and the important information about the officers. She even maliciously added, "Like my neighbor Shu Yun, her husband is a deputy regimental commander, highly regarded by his superiors, and he loves her very much. If you can capture her, you can definitely get more intelligence in return."
"Shu Yun?" Ge Ming murmured. The name sounded familiar, but he only thought about it. After all, if they were in the shadows and actually captured the military wives, it would only alert the enemy. These two military wives were, at best, unlucky ones who had stumbled upon the problem.
"Has the army been on any missions recently?" Gomin wanted to take advantage of the moment when the troops were at their weakest to blow up the city's transportation hub.
"This, I don't know." Ding Hongmei shook her head timidly.
Goming scoffed, "What you say is of little use to us. You don't even know what we need. Tell me, what use are you anyway?"
Ding Hongmei's face was pale, her eyes darting around. Looking at Wang Chunmei leaning against the wall, she immediately said, "I... I don't know, but she definitely knows. She's our division commander's wife."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chunmei stared in shock at Ding Hongmei's distorted face. The sensitive yet gentle and polite Ding Hongmei in her memory seemed to be nothing more than a figment of her imagination.
"The division commander's wife? It seems we've really caught a big fish."
Ma Fu ripped the tape off Wang Chunmei's mouth and said, "Tell me, what important information do you have to give us?"
Wang Chunmei regained her composure. From the moment she was captured by these two enemy agents, she had already prepared herself to die. Facing the arrogant and smug faces of the men, Wang Chunmei spat, "Pah, do whatever you want with me, I have nothing to say."
Ma Fu's face darkened immediately after being spat on. He wiped his face and said, "You bitch, you think you're so tough? You don't know how powerful I am until you hit me."
After saying that, Ma Fu stomped on Wang Chunmei's chest and punched and kicked her, each blow landing squarely on her skin. But Wang Chunmei didn't utter a sound; only Ma Fu's violent breathing and suppressed groans of pain could be heard.
Blood trickled from the corner of Wang Chunmei's mouth, but she laughed. "You are rats in the gutter, unable to stand the light. Victory will always belong to us. Just watch, your good days are numbered."
"Damn it, still being stubborn even when death is imminent." Wang Chunmei's words further fueled the man's anger.
Ding Hongmei looked at Wang Chunmei, who was beaten to the point of near death, and cowered in fear, hoping that these people would forget that she even existed.
After Shu Yun and Gu Xi finished eating the hot wontons, they took the little one to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lot of things.
Gu Xi walked to the familiar counter and tugged at her mother's sleeve, "Rabbit Milk Candy."
Shu Yun: "Mommy didn't promise to buy it for you. Mommy said that if you stayed at home well, I would buy it for you as a reward. But now that you've come out with me, there's no reward for you."
Shu Yun pretended to pull the little guy away, and Gu Xi lowered her head in disappointment, letting out a soft "oh". Well, that's true, but the little guy still felt a little wronged and sniffed.
Shu Yun ruffled the little guy's fluffy hair. "However, since our baby behaved well after coming out with Mommy today, Mommy thinks we should give the baby an extra reward. What reward would the baby like?"
Gu Xi raised her head in a flash, "Bunny milk candy, baby wants bunny milk candy."
Shu Yun: "Okay, then I'll reward Gu Baobao with a bag of rabbit milk candy."
After buying the milk candy, Shu Yun peeled one, broke it in half, gave a small half to Gu Xi, and ate half herself.
"It's so delicious!" Gu Xi ate the milk candy with great satisfaction, and skipped and hopped with Shu Yun's hand. Before long, they arrived at the state-run restaurant.
Shu Yun saw a military supply vehicle parked by the roadside next to the state-run restaurant. There were already many military wives sitting in the back of the vehicle, chatting away. Someone saw Shu Yun and greeted her, "You're out today too? Why didn't you take a car?"
Shu Yun said, "I rode my bicycle here myself, so I can be more flexible with my time." As she spoke, she shook Gu Xi's small hand, "Gu Xi, call for help."
After exchanging a few words, Shu Yun was about to leave when someone suddenly said, "Why haven't Sister Wang and Xiao Ding come back yet? It's been half an hour."
"Yes, I should have gone to the market again."
Shu Yun: "Haven't they come back yet?"
"Yes, have you seen them before?"
Shu Yun: "I have seen it before." Following her memory, she turned her gaze to the alley, the alley that she could see from the breakfast shop, which led right to the state-run restaurant here.
Shu Yun glanced at the quiet, secluded alley and a bad feeling inexplicably crept into her heart. She entrusted Gu Xi to the care of the military wife. The driver, Xiao Wang, who was waiting in the car, said, "I just saw Sister Wang and the others walk into this alley. Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Xiao Wang sensed something unusual in her words, his face became much more serious, and he nodded, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go take a look."
Shu Yun: "I'll go too."
