Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 588 - 570: I’m Busy, Going to See My Wife

He said he didn’t have a dormitory in the military district.

At that time, Mei Shuqing gave him a harsh scolding.

"Hello, Mr. Lin has already gone to sleep," said Chen Bing, Lin Guozhi’s guard, answering the phone.

"Even if I’m asleep, I get up myself; he can get up too. Go call him, it’s me, Mei Shuqing, looking for him about something."

"Mr. Mei, can it wait until tomorrow? My officer has been rushing around for two days and hasn’t slept much these past days." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Just getting over the illness, why work so hard? What if he collapses again? Hurry, I really need to talk to him. Even if he’s just fallen asleep, wake him up."

Mei Shuqing’s words had just fallen when he vaguely heard Lin Guozhi’s voice.

"Officer, it’s a call from Mr. Mei, says he has some business with you."

"You go sleep, I’ll take it." Lin Guozhi had stayed in Kao Shan Village for two days, officially honoring his father-in-law and mother-in-law with a memorial service. He intended to teach Li Fugui a lesson at night, but who knew the guy had already run off somewhere.

At home, he helped Liang Zhi with some town issues. After rushing for two days, he brought Liang Zhi along this time because Liang Zhi knew Nannan’s address. He was afraid that on returning, he’d be blinded and something would go wrong again.

Just arrived in S City tonight, he couldn’t wait to rush over to his wife’s family. Yet afraid they had gone to bed now, he struggled for a long time before returning to the military district, waiting to go first thing in the morning.

Lying in bed after getting back, he couldn’t fall asleep. He was awake the moment he heard the telephone ring and got up when he heard it was Mei Shuqing; all these years, Mei Shuqing was his most steadfast comrade. Now he was eager to share his joy with him: "Old Mei, guess what, my memory is back."

Lin Guozhi picked up the phone and smiled as he told Mei Shuqing about the past few days.

"What did you remember?"

"I remembered my past. Before I joined the army, I got married in the countryside; I have a wife and two children. These past days, I went back to find them but missed them. Turns out they’re in S City, right beside me. Old Mei, you can’t imagine... my wife waited for me for ten whole years. Worked hard to raise the two kids. I feel guilty."

"Old Lin, remembering is good; finding your wife is naturally good too. You must have lots of charm for her to wait ten years. Now, it’s all joy and reunion. I’ll come to S City in a couple of days, and we can gather. But first, you have to help me with something."

"What do you need help with?"

"My godson has been accused and is detained at the police station now. I need you to go tomorrow to get him out; those bastards at the police station dared lay hands on my son. If we don’t get him out soon, real trouble might happen; I can’t make it in time myself, so I need to trouble you."

"Is it about the godson and goddaughter you mentioned last time? I hope it’s not something he did that the girl is accusing him of."

"Dammit, of course not; I know my godson, he’s as honest as a turtle. He wouldn’t touch a woman; it’s clearly a false accusation. Beware of the police station chief, he’s no good." Mei Shuqing’s metaphor was somewhat inappropriate, even crude, yet his protective heart was strong.

"Alright, alright, I’ll find time to help you run a trip. Which police station?"

"What find time, go first thing tomorrow morning, got it."

"I was supposed to meet my wife tomorrow."

"It’s been so many years; giving it a day, your wife won’t escape, right? You get acquainted, meet, and cry hugging each other, then completely forget my son. If something happens to him, it’ll be too late."

"Alright, alright, I’ll first help with your situation."

"Where’s the kid’s family? I’ll go meet them first tomorrow. What’s his name?"

"They’re living on Xuefu Road... his name is Lin Yinghui, same surname as yours."

"...Lin Yinghui? Old Mei, how come it’s the same name as my child?"

"Ah, Old Lin, maybe the wife and kids you found are my godson and goddaughter." Mei Shuqing finished speaking, laughing twice to himself.

This made Lin Guozhi tremble; he felt what Old Mei said wasn’t without reason. From the south, a woman with two children, also with the surname Lin.

"Although I haven’t seen my son in over ten years, I’m sure he wouldn’t do such things. Old Mei, I’ll handle it for you." Regardless of whether they are mother and son, helping people with similar experiences to his wife is the right thing to do.

"Alright, I’ll count on you tomorrow."

Lin Guozhi hung up the phone, thoughts swirling, always feeling that Mei Shuqing’s joke stuck in his heart, growing deeper and deeper, unable to shake it off for a moment.

...

Han Yi is already in Z City, sitting in a wheelchair. Behind him, Xiao Wang points to a community ahead.

"Captain Han, Mou Communicator’s address is in that place."

"Alright, I’ll wait downstairs. Go bring the couple to me. We’re traveling overnight."

"Okay." Xiao Wang said this, adjusting his sleeve. He had joined the army for a year now.

His skills weren’t bad; if they fought a bit when asked to come down, they’d just bring them down by force.

Li Suolan and Mu Guomin had just gone to bed when the untimely knocking sounded from outside.

Li Suolan was unwilling to get up, but Mu Guomin had no choice and hastily put on a piece of clothing to answer the door.

"Who is it, this late?"

Upon opening the door, he saw a young man in a military uniform.

This surprised Mu Guomin. "Comrade, any business?"

"Yes, our leader wants to see you. Please come down with me."

"Leader? Which leader?"

"You’ll know once you’re down."

Saying it so mysteriously, Mu Guomin was afraid it might be some officer from the military coming to find him.

He quickly straightened up, "Wait a moment, I’ll change clothes."

"Please ask Mr. Mu’s wife to come down too, our leader wants to see her."

"My wife too?" Mr. Mu hesitated for a moment, not daring to ask further, turned, and went inside to urge Li Suolan to get up.

"The leader wants to see you; why does he want to see me? Something happened on your end?" Li Suolan complained while dressing.

This left Mu Guomin in thought, "Recently, I haven’t done anything outrageous." He said while feeling a bit fearful; not recently doesn’t mean there wasn’t before.

Last year, he had some military supplies manipulated and flipped out a batch; could it be...

Thinking of this, Mu Guomin shook his head to himself, if it really had been exposed, they should directly arrest him, not this current situation.

Mu Guomin steadied himself, regardless of the situation, he’d find out by going down.

The couple followed Xiao Wang downstairs to see a young man sitting in a wheelchair.

Han Yi was wearing only an army-issued green sleeveless undershirt and weighty shorts for convenience.

At a glance, Mu Guomin knew he was from the military.

The soldier who called him, referred to him as the leader, leaving Mu Guomin puzzled. He was so young; which army could he belong to?

In their Zone Z army, he didn’t recall seeing such a person.

"What’s the purpose of calling us down here at this hour?" Mu Guomin still smiled politely as he bent forward to ask.

Han Yi didn’t offer them a smile and coldly glanced at them, "Mr. Mu, Doctor Li, the reason I’m here is to take you with me to S City. The specific reason doesn’t require my explanation, right?"

Mu Guomin and his wife exchanged a silent glance; mentioning S City inevitably reminded them of Mu Qing and Lin Yinghui’s affair.

Li Suolan immediately sought Mu Qing’s second uncle for help in investigating Lin Yinghui when she heard her husband talk about the matter.

She originally intended to file a complaint against him with his office, wishing the small civil servant would lose his chance, yet a young lady at the office gave her sensible insight.

Her fine daughter being spoiled by a poor rural boy was infuriating enough.

Her daughter should marry into a substantial family, giving prestige to the Old Mu Family.

How could she marry a mediocre man like that?

"Comrade, may I ask your name? What exactly is it that needs us to travel all the way over? Can’t this issue be resolved over the phone?" Mu Guomin inquired knowingly.

"Han Yi... the exact matter will be clear when you arrive. Xiao Wang, get the two in the car."

"Yes... Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu, please, the car is ready, tonight we’ll travel overnight."
