Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 178 - 177: "That’s Right, So We Strongly Suspect They’re Enemy Agents!
Yes, after interrogating Lu Yanli, the leaders originally thought she orchestrated this incident herself.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yanli said someone called her and gave her the idea.
"The leaders said that the call Lu Yanli received was from a voice indiscernible whether male or female. Furthermore, the call came from the hospital and didn’t go through the tighter scrutiny of the communication office. The leaders said they had the tech department try to trace the call, but it’s unlikely they’ll find anything." This was information Sheng Zexi obtained from the leaders.
Gu Jia Ning understood. In this era, electronic information technology indeed wasn’t so advanced, so failing to trace it was quite normal.
"For the opposition to achieve this, does it mean they have the resources? And where do these resources come from?" Gu Jia Ning asked.
Sheng Zexi’s eyes lit up slightly, not expecting Ningning to point out the critical issue immediately.
"Exactly, that’s why we highly suspect espionage!"
"Espionage!"
Gu Jia Ning frowned. Spies have existed in every era, but particularly in this one.
It’s just unclear who it is.
In fact, what Sheng Zexi didn’t tell Gu Jia Ning was their last mission was met with heavy suspicion that espionage within the military district had leaked secrets.
Investigations were ongoing, yet they haven’t caught the rat hiding in the shadows.
Gu Jia Ning also had no leads.
Actually, she suspected one person, Li Shuyao, who harbored over 90% hostility towards her.
But she felt it was unlikely.
First, the animosity Li Shuyao had towards her might be because of Sheng Zexi, as Li Shuyao’s unrequited love for Sheng Zexi.
Second, Li Shuyao is from the Li Family, and the Li Family’s background...
But if it’s not Li Shuyao, who could it be? This incident clearly targeted her.
Of course, it’s also possible it targeted Sheng Zexi.
After all, if she did end up being involved in a medical mishap, Sheng Zexi as her husband would also be affected.
"Alright, if you can’t think of anything, don’t dwell on it. Special personnel will investigate these matters. Just make sure you, Ningning, protect yourself." Sheng Zexi patted Gu Jia Ning’s head.
Gu Jia Ning snapped back to reality and nodded, "Yes, I will."
Two days later, a verdict came about Lu Yanli’s case.
Lu Yanli was dismissed from her position as a doctor and sentenced to ten years in prison. Her husband’s position was also downgraded by two levels, and future promotions might be difficult.
It was, one could say, quite a severe punishment.
Meanwhile, news about Gu Jia Ning’s ability to treat tuberculosis had spread within the military district.
"A miracle doctor, even capable of treating tuberculosis. Indeed, miracle doctors transcend age," said a military wife.
"If Doctor Gu had married Vice Commander Sheng earlier and joined the military earlier, my father might have..." A young soldier whose father died of tuberculosis two years ago sobbed and said.
"I always knew someone Sheng Zexi set his sights on wouldn’t be ordinary. As expected, his discerning eye is sharp," praised a leader.
"I can’t believe Elder Chen spotted her first and took her as a disciple. Elder Chen always acts swiftly," remarked a skilled doctor at the military hospital.
"I heard Doctor Gu plans to give a lecture on tuberculosis treatment. She’s truly selfless, a commendable doctor." Fellow doctors heaped praise on Gu Jia Ning.
Through this incident, Gu Jia Ning’s reputation soared once again in the Northwest Military Region.
Furthermore, no one questioned her medical skills because of her young age anymore.
Some even believed, according to eyewitness accounts, that Gu Jia Ning had the ability to resurrect the dead.
With a doctor capable of resurrecting the dead, how could her medical skills be lacking?
Thus, after that day, waves of patients came to see Gu Jia Ning, and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department thrived once again.

In Beijing, Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang received a call from Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi. The couple informed them they would return to Beijing before Qingming to pay respects to mother. Sheng Zexi’s leave had been approved.
Knowing they were coming, the elderly couple was delighted.
Especially upon learning they would stay at the Sang Family home, the old couple had been tidying up a room whenever they had time, preparing all the bedding and pillows, just waiting for the young couple’s arrival.
"Imagine how wonderful it would be if Xiao Wan were still around. She would have liked Ning girl, and seeing Xiao Xi getting married and about to be a father, she would have been so happy."
Grandma Sang’s eyes reddened at the thought of her daughter, Sang Yuwan.
Xiao Wan was truly a kind, gentle girl, but unfortunately, she met Sheng Xinhao.
If she hadn’t married Sheng Xinhao back then, would things have been different?
That scoundrel Sheng Xinhao professed his love for Xiao Wan, yet a year after her passing, he quickly married Fang Wanrong and treated Xiao Xi increasingly poorly afterward.
No wonder Xiao Xi became estranged from him.
"By the way, that old rascal hasn’t visited lately," Grandma Sang mentioned.
Previously they tricked Sheng Xinhao into transferring money and property to Xiao Xi. Sheng Xinhao occasionally pestered them, hoping Xiao Xi and Ning girl would divorce.
Now, he hadn’t come around anymore.
Grandpa Sang humphed, "That old rascal is hospitalized, obviously he won’t come."
"Hospitalized, what happened?"
...
Indeed, Sheng Xinhao was hospitalized.
Right now, Sheng Xinhao lay on the hospital bed, with Fang Wanrong and their son and daughter beside him.
The director of the Beijing Military Region Hospital explained the test results, "General Sheng, after our examination, your arm appears to suffer from a condition known as brachial plexus neuropathy."
"It’s a severe sequela left by the injury on your left arm."
"Was your arm cut by shrapnel back then?" the doctor asked.
Sheng Xinhao nodded, "Yes, but the shrapnel was removed at the time, and the wound healed."
The injury on his left arm happened when Sheng Xinhao was young, serving in the military, and during a mission, enemy-planted grenade shrapnel caused the wound.
Back then, treatment conditions were harsh, and medical technology was even more primitive than now.
Sheng Xinhao removed the shrapnel himself, bandaged it simply, and continued fighting.
That battle was a victory and marked a significant step in Sheng Xinhao’s career.
After the mission, the wound on Sheng Xinhao’s arm healed, and he didn’t pay much attention after that.
It was only in recent years, occasionally experiencing stabbing pain in the left arm. But since he was right-handed, Sheng Xinhao hadn’t cared much about his left arm and ignored it. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Until a year ago, when the stabbing pain in his left arm and shoulder intensified, forcing him to the hospital for a check-up.
