Chapter 1751: Xiao Wan, How Did Mom Get Injured?

One look was enough to reveal a paper bag wrapped tightly in oilcloth inside the bird's nest.

Shen Kaiyuan carefully peeled off the outer oilcloth, then opened the paper bag; seeing the writing on it, he immediately clutched the item to his chest: "Regiment Commander Fu, these are indeed the research materials we've been searching for."

Fu Yan Cheng jumped down and immediately said, "Let's split up and search this forest more thoroughly."

Liu Chuxue knew what he intended, so she extended her spiritual sense to examine every bird's nest, big and small, in the forest; finding no other discoveries, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After they had all finished checking and confirmed there were no other discoveries, they quickly returned to the unit.

After parting with them at the entrance of the family compound, Liu Chuxue went straight home.

That evening, after Fu Yan Cheng returned, Liu Chuxue followed him into the room and heard him say, "Wife, you have truly accomplished a great feat this time."

As for the specifics, he did not tell Liu Chuxue; instead, he hugged his wife and kissed her heavily: "Wife, you are truly my lucky star."

Liu Chuxue, however, retorted, "Who was it who said earlier that we must not take risks in the future?"

Fu Yan Cheng did not compromise: "I will not take back what I said earlier; I will not stop you from going out, but you must pay close attention to your safety."

Liu Chuxue knew he was worried about her, so she did not oppose him further.

The next morning, Fu Yan Cheng came back once: "Wife, the Division Commander wants to see you."

Liu Chuxue looked at him: "Is it about yesterday's incident?"

Fu Yan Cheng nodded: "Yes, this matter cannot be made public, so the commendation must be given in secret."

Liu Chuxue naturally understood; the fact that the items had been found could not be known by hostile forces, or else a new round of plundering would likely begin.

After Liu Chuxue was taken there, not only Division Commander Guan but also two senior commanders thanked her profusely and praised her repeatedly.

Finally, Division Commander Guan handed over a bulging envelope: "This is the reward from the unit; keep it safe. For your safety and to prevent this matter from spreading, I apologize for the trouble."

Liu Chuxue quickly waved her hands and said, "I am already very happy to have been able to help; how could it possibly be a trouble?"

It is better to keep this matter low-key to avoid causing trouble for oneself and one's family.

Regarding the reward, Liu Chuxue did not say anything about refusing it; after expressing her thanks, Fu Yan Cheng specially escorted her back to the family compound.

A few days after the incident, Liu Chuxue and the others received a call from the Fu family: Fu's mother had been injured and hospitalized.

Upon receiving the call, Liu Chuxue's first reaction was to suspect a conspiracy, thinking, "Could it be that the matter of the research materials has been leaked? Has Mother-in-law been implicated by me?"

Liu Chuxue asked the younger sister on the other end of the phone urgently: "Xiao Wan, how did Mother get injured?"

Fu Yanwan then explained: "Mother said that the room where Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law used to live had some leaking; since she had the day off, she thought she would find the cause, so she borrowed a ladder to go up and check.

Mother said her foot slipped; she stepped into empty space and fell straight down from the ladder."

It seemed it was not a conspiracy, but an injury caused by improper operation and a mistake: "I will pack up right now and rush back in a while."

Gu Yanwan quickly said: "Sister-in-law, do not worry; be careful on your way back."

Thinking that Mother-in-law needed someone to care for her in the hospital, but that Aunt Wei and the others had finally found time to come to the family compound, she ran all the way into the yard and said: "Auntie, my Mother-in-law has fallen; I must return to the city.

Let the triplets stay; you just need to live in the family compound. During this period, you absolutely must not leave the family compound, including Wenbin as well."

No matter what, some things must be guarded against just in case.
