Chapter 323 - 322: Tian Qiu Speaks Up
Beisitian looked at Li Ying’s somewhat manic expression, and opened her mouth slightly, thinking about how Li Ying, as a favored child for so long, was particularly mentally fragile, but she didn’t expect it would be to this extent. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0v3l.Fiɾe.netExposing this matter publicly didn’t benefit her at all, even though the matter might be true, by doing so she showed no respect to the active duty soldiers.
Luo Xudong was a hero who had earned first-class merit, and her mercilessness didn’t just damage Luo Xudong’s image but the entire military’s image!
Li Ying’s actions were akin to slapping the 119th Division and the General Staff Department in the face!
On the platform, Song Fanggang frowned deeply, his expression was very unpleasant. Yuan Guiling had been praising this young girl’s excellence under her supervision, whether she was excellent or not he didn’t know, but he knew she lacked discretion!
The audience below wouldn’t think about all this; they were all bombarded by this heavy explosive news, leaving them dazed.
Deputy Squad Leader Luo’s wife cheated?!
Some families immediately showed expressions eager to watch a good show, only a few showed worry and doubt.
The people in the medical team all looked stern, not expecting Li Ying to openly say such things, only Zhang Meili, Zhang Hui Ping, and Ding Sisi showed a hot expression of schadenfreude.
Some soldiers from the 9th Company were angry, while some rational ones first looked at Luo Xudong.
Sergeant Zhou Huadong stood next to Luo Xudong; he hadn’t known Luo Xudong for long but had a favorable view of this promising young man. Although his character seemed a bit cold, he was a good person with a good rapport, able to command respect, even without his help, the brothers in the 9th Company were convinced by him.
At the moment, Luo Xudong stood there with a cold expression, no different from before, not showing any surprise or humiliation. Zhou Huadong had more or less figured out if the matter existed in his heart.
Cheating spouses were detested by nearly all soldiers; who would want their honor tarnished? Military marriages were protected, and that woman’s actions were openly challenging the soldiers’ dignity.
"Let her go to jail!"
"Get down!"
There was a clamor from below, and some, oblivious to the details, joined in shouting, especially those who had a regular relationship with the 9th Company, who egged on vigorously.
Beisitian looked coldly, saying nothing, not because she didn’t want to speak, but even if she held the microphone to talk, she couldn’t overpower so many voices.
Li Ying finally felt a sense of relief, showing a smug look at Beisitian, daring her to be happy, watching her, still smug?
If she couldn’t fly high, no one should fly high first!
If she rose high, others shouldn’t rise!
In the vast sky, preferably only she would exist, everyone gazing up at her!
Beisitian glanced at Li Ying lightly, and Li Ying saw contempt and disdain in her gaze, along with a hint of mockery.
Mockery for what? Wasn’t she supposed to be in a panic, having any arguments left?
Li Ying had actually secretly written a complaint letter to Regiment Commander Zhou Qiming of the Twenty-eighth Regiment and similarly sent one to Horse Corps Commander of the Twenty-fifth Group.
The Twenty-eighth Regiment was Luo Xudong’s regiment, while the Twenty-fifth Regiment was often at odds with the Twenty-eighth Regiment; even if Zhou Qiming didn’t pursue Luo Xudong, the Twenty-fifth Regiment would spread the matter.
Li Ying thought so, that between interests and reputation, brotherhood and battle camaraderie were flimsy, hence her actions.
She did not know neither Zhou Qiming nor the Twenty-fifth Regiment’s commander planned to disclose the matter, even if the Twenty-fifth Regiment and Twenty-eighth Regiment had issues, that was their affair; a real man relied on military achievements and skills, scornful of petty tactics!
Nevertheless, since the matter was reported, it would inevitably surface, and the Twenty-fifth Regiment’s commander planned to hand the complaint letter to Song Junshizhang when the time came, awaiting the leadership’s decision.
Commander Zhou had intended to talk to Luo Xudong afterward but heard that Political Commissioner Xu had talked to him, saying there was no issue, thus dropped the plan.
The scene below was chaotic, particularly the Twenty-fifth Regiment’s soldiers were shouting most, followed by the Twenty-eighth Regiment, feeling Beisitian embarrassed Luo Xudong, and consequently their whole regiment!
Such a woman should be condemned, should be driven out, no, she should be jailed!
The Horse Corps Commander glared, snatched the microphone from a literary soldier, and yelled: "Everybody shut up!"
It suddenly quieted down.
"Are you all fed up, shouting nonsense!"
Even the murmuring ceased.
The Horse Corps Commander gave Li Ying a glance, you cunning little girl, trying to use my Twenty-fifth Regiment? Not a chance!
Even if that thing really happened with Luo Xudong’s wife, it wouldn’t be the Twenty-fifth Regiment to take the lead.
Li Ying shook slightly under the Horse Corps Commander’s gaze, enjoying the triumph yet halted.
Political Commissioner Xu spoke then, in a calm tone, "Comrade Xiao Li, words cannot be spoken carelessly, do you have evidence?"
Li Ying paused, having no evidence, asking that idiot Ding Sisi to collect evidence, even recording her ambiguous conversation with Tian Lei would suffice, but that fool found nothing.
"I have no material evidence, but I have a witness!" Li Ying stiffened her neck, somewhat fearful of Political Commissioner Xu, but still feigned fearlessness.
Below, Ding Sisi’s face changed upon hearing, didn’t have time to react, as Li Ying pointed at her saying: "It was Ding Sisi from the medical team who told me, she saw and heard it herself!"
Ding Sisi’s face was unpleasant, cursing Li Ying’s whole family through eighteen generations, with everyone’s gaze falling on her, especially the medical team’s, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Political Commissioner Xu wore a gentle smile, turned to look at Ding Sisi, and asked: "Doctor Ding, did you see this yourself?"
Ding Sisi, dragged underwater by Li Ying, panicked completely, stumbling, "No no, saw, saw... no, I’m saying, I didn’t see, I was..." She barely knew what she was saying.
"Don’t be nervous, take your time." Political Commissioner Xu said slowly.
Political Commissioner Xu’s gentle voice calmed Ding Sisi slightly; since things had reached this point, she decided: "It was, it was admitted by Tian Lei."
Tian Lei, standing at the front, froze, icy hostility between his brows, "What did you say!"
Ding Sisi avoided his eyes, shifting her gaze, "Tian Lei threatened me many times not to say a word."
Li Ying kept a cold smile, just keep saying it, continue, unveil Beisitian’s hypocritical good facade!
At that moment, in the guest seats, a woman in professional attire stood up, spoke loudly: "My brother admitted such a thing? That’s impossible!"
