Chapter 1398: What Is the Story Behind This Note?

With a plan taking shape in her mind, her mood improved considerably.

As for whether her excuse was reasonable, she couldn't worry about that anymore; when the time came, she would simply stick to her story and let the unit leaders deal with the headache. After all, it was a good thing, and she believed they would be happy about it.

After thanking the driver, she did not go straight home but headed directly toward the unit.

As soon as she reached the main gate, she was stopped by soldiers armed with real guns and nuclear missiles: "This is a restricted military area. Civilians, please do not approach."

Liu Chuxue quickly stated her identity and purpose: "Hello, comrade. I am the wife of Fu Yan Cheng, commander of the Third Battalion of the First Regiment. I have something to discuss with him. Please help me notify him."

Upon hearing that she was the commander's wife, the soldier said: "So you are the sister-in-law. Please wait a moment; I will call to notify Commander Fu immediately."

Saying this, he followed her into the guard post and picked up the telephone directly.

A short while later, he ran out again: "Sister-in-law, I have already spoken with Commander Fu; he will come out to meet you right away."

Liu Chuxue thanked the person, found a shady spot to wait, and meanwhile sent her consciousness into the space, writing a note with her left hand.

Fu Yan Cheng hung up the phone and rushed out; the moment he saw Liu Chuxue, he scanned her up and down, and seeing she was unharmed, asked: "Wife, why have you come here?"

The urgency in his eyes revealed his inner state.

Liu Chuxue quickly spoke up: "I am perfectly fine, so do not worry. However, I have something to tell you, and it is very important."

Seeing the seriousness in her eyes, Fu Yan Cheng understood the gravity of the matter: "Come, follow me to my office to talk."

After completing the registration, the two entered the unit together.

Along the way, many people came over to greet them, but Fu Yan Cheng quickly dismissed them all.

The two arrived at Fu Yan Cheng's office: "Speak, what has happened?"

Liu Chuxue pulled a note from her pocket: "Take a look at this."

Fu Yan Cheng took it with a puzzled expression, and upon clearly reading the content written on it, suddenly looked up: "Where did this come from?"

Only after asking the question did he notice the crossbody bag on his wife's body: "Did you go out this morning?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "I have finished translating all the books I brought back earlier. Since I had nothing to do today, I thought I would deliver the translation drafts. Unexpectedly, the Rolling Steel Factory contacted me regarding that batch of orders, and they eventually traced me to Vice Minister Zhao of the First Machine Industry Department. After all, a large portion of those foreign exchange orders were negotiated by me, so the leaders came looking for me. Naturally, I could not refuse, especially since I received compensation."

Seeing his wife so eager to explain herself, Fu Yan Cheng felt a pang of heartache: "Wife, I am not angry that you went out to handle business; I was only worried about your safety."

Hearing Fu Yan Cheng say this, she felt relieved: "Alright, then this matter is considered closed."

Fu Yan Cheng nodded and looked at the note in his hand: "What is the story behind this note?"

She recounted what had happened on the way back: "I do not know when this note ended up in my pocket. Just before getting off the bus, I wanted to take out my handkerchief to wipe away sweat, and only then did I discover it. I do not know if it is true or false, so I came to find you."

A conspiracy theory immediately flashed through Fu Yan Cheng's mind, but he quickly dismissed it: "Wife, I must report this to the higher-ups. You will likely have to endure the trouble of going with me. As for whether the information on this note is true, we will probably have to make a trip to find out."

Liu Chuxue nodded: "I understand."

Fu Yan Cheng kept thinking: Who put this note in his wife's pocket, and when? And how did that person know his wife was a military family member?

By the time they reached Division Commander Guan's office, there was still no clue.
