“General, you’re giving me too much credit,” Fan Ming said with a humble smile, but after some serious thought, he replied, “How about organizing a celebration for the top-ranked battalion? Let them bring their families. I’m sure Madam would like to meet the savior from that day. It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it?”

General Yu Yan’s eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily. “I knew you young people have sharp minds. I’ll leave this matter to you. Make sure it’s done well!”

“Yes, sir!” Fan Ming, seeing his suggestion accepted, felt elated. He saluted General Yu Yan with a standard and powerful military salute.

After finishing his duties, Fan Ming changed into regular clothes. Once he found out Jiang Tao’s specific address, he went straight there.

Passing by Yan Shun’s house, he noticed the door wide open. He casually glanced inside and saw a plump woman neatly folding the messy clothes on the bed. She appeared relaxed and content, completely contrary to the rumors of her laziness.

Fan Ming had only heard about Lin Fan before, but seeing her now, he felt the rumors were unfounded.

He did not linger for long, quickly arriving at Jiang Tao’s doorstep. He politely knocked on the door.

Jiang Tao opened the door, looking quite puzzled. He could not fathom why someone would visit him at this hour, especially someone like Fan Ming, who was associated with General Yu Yan and had no apparent connection with him, a mere deputy company commander.

“Who’s there?” Zhou Liu, hearing the commotion, also came out. At first glance, she saw Fan Ming.

What was he doing here? Could it be that Zhao Xiu had reported her to Fan Ming, and General Yu Yan had found out, and now he was here to hold her accountable?

When Fan Ming first saw Zhou Liu, his anxious heart seemed to relax a little. His intuition told him that Zhou Liu was the person he was looking for.

However, he restrained his facial expression and inquired, “Vice Captain Jiang, I heard your wife is a nurse?”

“Yes, what’s the matter?” Jiang Tao felt there was more to Fan Ming’s words. The fact that his wife was a nurse was not a secret; it could easily be known within the military compound. Yet Fan Ming asked again.

“It’s like this: yesterday, in a fabric store, a little boy suddenly had an asthma attack. He didn’t have his medication with him. Was Mrs. Jiang there at the time?” Fan Ming revealed part of the truth and asked.

Zhou Liu frowned halfway through hearing this. What was the point of her being there?

Not only had she not saved the person, but Lin Fan also took all the credit. Whenever she thought about it, she could not help but get angry. Her tone became impatient. “Yes, I was. What’s the matter?”

Could it be that he had come to cause trouble for her? If that were the case, had she answered too quickly? The thought made Zhou Liu’s heart start to pound.

Seeing Zhou Liu’s reaction, Fan Ming hesitated. Shouldn’t a person be happy after doing a good deed? Why did she look so displeased?

When Fan Ming snapped back to reality, he thought that maybe he hadn’t been clear enough in his question. So, he smiled and asked in a different way, “I just wanted to confirm, did you help a child that day? Because I heard you were a nurse, so you must have some first-aid knowledge. If it was you, then I haven’t mistaken the person.”

Jiang Tao, who had been listening in surprise, suddenly realized something and excitedly grabbed Zhou Liu’s arm. “Wife, this is great news! You’re a nurse; you’re supposed to save lives, right? Since you were there, it must have been you who saved him!”

He speculated that the little boy must be related to General Yu; otherwise, Fan Ming would not have come looking for him. Even if the person saved had connections with Fan Ming, he would not have approached Jiang Tao directly without any preparation or groundwork.

Zhou Liu did not understand why Jiang Tao was so excited. His naive expression irritated her. In her heart, Jiang Tao could not compare to Yan Shun in any way.

Observing their reactions, Zhou Liu let go of her unease. When she met Fan Ming’s inexplicably expectant eyes, combined with Jiang Tao’s excitement, could it be that she had saved someone incredibly important?

The more Zhou Liu thought about it, the more it seemed likely. If Zhao Xiu and her son were relatives of General Yu, they would definitely be people of significance.
