1060 Disintegrate From the Inside



"What kind of expression is this? You have no faith in my scheme?" He Ning looked at the frowning Huo Gao in confusion.

"I just think that you have such a hard life, to have to come up with such a scheme," Huo Gao said resignedly.

He Ning relaxed on the sofa and said with a smile, "I'm just giving it a try. It'll be a bonus if it succeeds. Qiao Mei is the kind of person who won't accept a man who cheats on her. When Qiao Mei gets a divorce, I can then take advantage of the situation. However, it also doesn't matter if He Mei fails. We still have other plans that we can use to slowly break up the couple's relationship from the inside."

Huo Gao could only send He Ning his best wishes. It was obvious that the plan would not succeed. If He Mei was able to seduce Xia Zhe in the first place, Qiao Mei would not have come into the picture at all. However, nothing was cast in stone. It all depended on what kind of tricks He Mei had up her sleeves.

"Oh right, have you found out Xia Zhe's current mission location?" He Ning asked.

"No, but we found something interesting. No one paid any attention to it previously, but when I think about it now, I feel that something is not very right," Huo Gao said.

He Ning looked at Huo Gao and asked, "What's not very right?"

"Isn't it Qiao Mei's 'divine medicine' that saved Xia Mao? Apparently, this 'divine medicine' is stored in glass bottles. Some time ago, the transportation team had seized one of Xia Zhe's packages from home and found two glass bottles inside. I suspect that these bottles contain the so-called 'divine medicine'," Huo Gao said.

"So what? The military seizes anything that is unidentifiable and then they'll inform the soldier's family members to bring it back. Nothing surprising about this," He Ning said.

This was the crux of the problem. The name of the person in charge of the transportation team was Zhong Ye. He had always thought highly of Xia Zhe and wanted Xia Zhe to marry his daughter, Zhong Wan. Even if Xia Zhe did not like his daughter, he would not mind if Xia Zhe was willing to become his godson.

If anyone dared to say anything bad about Xia Zhe, he was always the first to disagree!

However, Xia Zhe had offended Zhong Ye by making his precious daughter feel aggrieved. If Xia Zhe had married the Zheng family's daughter or the He family's daughter, Zhong Ye would not have any objections. In fact, he would even send them a big gift to wish them well.

The issue was that after Xia Zhe rejected Zhong Wan, he immediately married a village girl from the countryside. This was something that Zhong Ye could not accept. What was so bad about his daughter! How could it be that she was a worse choice than a village girl from the countryside!

What Xia Zhe did was tantamount to telling people that Zhong Wan was not worthy of him and was not even as good as a woman from the countryside. Zhong Ye felt that this was a slap on his face!

Zhong Ye had been holding back his anger and looking for an opportunity to take revenge. He did not expect the chance to come so quickly.

During one of their routine inspections, they found two bottles of unknown liquid in a package sent to Xia Zhe. These were classified as illegitimate items. The military considered homemade products to be dangerous items.

"Brother Zhong, take a look at this," said Xiao Luo, one of Zhong Ye's subordinates.

Zhong Ye did not even bother to look up. He closed his eyes and lay back on the chair as he said, "Don't bother me. Can't you just handle all these issues related to transportation? Haven't I taught you a lot all these years? Otherwise, what do I need you for?"

"That's not it, Brother Zhong! This is a package from Xia Zhe's family. I don't know how to handle it, so you have to make the decision," Xiao Luo said anxiously.

The moment Zhong Ye heard that it was related to Xia Zhe, his interest was immediately piqued. He quickly sat up and picked up a glass bottle to check it carefully. After inspecting it for a long time, he still could not find anything unusual. It just looked like a bottle of colored water. Zhong Ye gently pried open the bottle cap and took a whiff. That was when he realized that it was actually liquor!

"You piece of trash! Don't you know that such strong liquor is not allowed in the army! Do you still have to ask me about such things! Just confiscate it! Get the Xia family members to come and retrieve it!" Zhong Ye said furiously.

Xiao Luo hurriedly went forward and pointed at the words outside the bottle. "Brother Zhong, look here. It's stated here that it's medicinal wine. Furthermore, it's also strangely stated here that it can be used to treat all kinds of illnesses. Is there really such a medicine in this world?"

Zhong Ye also found it to be unbelievable. If there was such a magical thing in the world, everyone would be able to live to a ripe old age.

"Brother Zhong… This is a package personally sent by Commander Xia Mao. Is it alright for us to confiscate it?" Xiao Luo said fearfully.
