Chapter 281 I want an explanation

Major Zhao looked solemn, his brows furrowed, and the worry on his face was genuine.

"I will report to my superiors immediately and strive for more rescue supplies and personnel support to start rescue operations in Chunshan Town immediately."

After everything was settled, Chu Mingzhou suddenly changed the subject and brought up Lin Anan's matter...

"In addition, I also learned something about my wife, Comrade Lin Anan. She came to support on behalf of our Northwest Military Region and should not have been assigned to that dangerous frontline stronghold. I want to ask, why?"

Major Zhao was shocked!

The other officers looked at each other, obviously unaware.

A layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on Major Zhao's forehead. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense.

Chu Mingzhou's eyes were like cold blades, piercing straight at Major Zhao. His voice was low and powerful, with unquestionable majesty: "Major Zhao, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."

Major Zhao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Colonel Chu, I really didn't know much about this matter before. Comrade Lin was transferred there because she has good language skills and the secret base needs her support."

Chu Mingzhou tapped his fingers lightly on the table and snorted softly, "Is she the only one with good language skills? This is clearly someone else's business, but they insisted on sending her there. Do they think that everyone in our Northwest Military Region can be bullied?"

"No... No, we never had such thoughts. We are grateful to the Northwest Military Region for coming to support us as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will immediately launch an investigation and give Comrade Lin an answer."

Chu Mingzhou looked at him deeply, stood up, and said, "I hope you can keep your promise. My wife is not from the military. She came to support us with great enthusiasm, but she didn't even get the most basic respect.

Some of your actions have seriously violated military regulations and hurt my lover's feelings. I don't care what the reason is or who is behind it, you must investigate it thoroughly and give me an explanation."

Major Zhao nodded quickly, "Yes, Colonel Chu, I understand the seriousness of this matter, and I will be responsible for the investigation myself."

"Well, we will set off to return to the northwest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. When I go back to report the situation, our third batch of rescue troops will arrive."

One thing is one thing.

This is how Chu Mingzhou does things, clearly distinguishing between public and private matters.

A slap in the face and a date gives people no choice, and they have to do things beautifully.

Major Zhao secretly complained in his heart, but he dared not show it on his face. He could only pretend to be calm and nodded again: "Don't worry, Colonel Chu, I will find out what happened as soon as possible. I also thank the Northwest Military Region for their great help. With you, we will be able to carry out rescue work better and let the affected people return to normal life as soon as possible."

Chu Mingzhou nodded slightly, "I hope so. The flood situation is serious and rescue work is urgent. You must go all out."

"Yes, Colonel Chu." Major Zhao responded quickly.

Major Zhao thought quickly. He planned to let Hu Li find an excuse and write a self-criticism and apology letter. Then they would also admit their negligence and mistakes, and the matter would be over.

But as soon as Chu Mingzhou left the office, Hu Li ran into trouble.

"Chu Mingzhou, I heard that you successfully rescued many comrades and brought back important documents. You also opened up the mountain roads to the secret base. You are amazing..."

Chu Mingzhou's gaze paused on her face for a moment, "Are you Hu Li?"

Hearing that he could call out her name accurately, Hu Li's eyes lit up and she bit her lip a little embarrassedly.

Even the two female soldiers following behind her had meaningful smiles in their eyes.

"Yes, I am Hu Li."

"Hello, Chu Mingzhou." Hu Li extended his hand towards Chu Mingzhou.

Chu Mingzhou took two steps back, disgust flashed in his eyes, and he frowned and walked around the people.

Hu Li's smile froze on his face before it died down. His hands hung in the air awkwardly, and his face turned pale and red.

She never expected that Chu Mingzhou would be so disrespectful to her and embarrass her in public.

Seeing this, the two female soldiers stopped smiling and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Chu Mingzhou did not stop and walked straight forward, with the disgust in his heart growing stronger.

He had never had a good impression of the person who had wronged Lin Anan. Now that he saw her hypocritical appearance with his own eyes, he was even more furious.

In his opinion, Hu Li's actions not only violated the military ethics, but also constituted a ruthless harm to his own wife.

Hu Li was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. She gritted her teeth, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, "Humph, isn't he just a battalion commander? What's so great about him!"

She muttered softly, trying to save some face for herself.

However, although her voice was small, it was still heard by the female soldier next to her.

One of the female soldiers frowned slightly and advised softly: "Ali, you should say less. This Chu Mingzhou is not an ordinary person. The 'Dragon Teeth' special operations battalion he leads is very famous, with outstanding military exploits and high prestige in the army."

Hu Li snorted coldly, "No matter how high his prestige is, he is just a battalion commander."

Another female soldier echoed, "That's right, he probably doesn't know that Ali is General Hu's most outstanding granddaughter, right?

He is just from the Northwest Military Region, which is notoriously poor. We, Ali, wanted to make friends with him because we were giving him face. It is his own fault that he did not seize the opportunity. "

Hu Li couldn't understand what Chu Mingzhou's attitude was. Why did he treat him like this?

She didn't know the relationship between Lin Anan and Chu Mingzhou yet. She wanted to get to know him only because she saw that he was capable and handsome.

But now it seems that people from the countryside only think like people from the countryside, and their quality of education is so poor.

Coincidentally, Zhou Shengnan happened to come to see Lin Anan, and they were also talking about Hu Li.

"That's not possible. Hu Li is different from the female comrades in our army. She and the other female comrades who came with her all entered the military based on their translation skills. They have never experienced the hardships of training. They are all spoiled girls.

But the old comrades of the Hu family are iron-willed old revolutionaries, all of whom are national treasures. Do you know old comrade Hu Liangguo? He is Hu Li’s grandfather...”

Everyone was silent.

Especially when Lin Anan heard Zhou Shengnan talking about Mr. Hu’s great achievements in the past, her heart softened.

"Comrade Hu Liangguo has a nickname called 'Anti-Japanese Zhao Yun'. He went in and out seven times to rescue the Prime Minister, and each time he fought a war with his head on his belt."

An old hero, worthy of respect.

Lin Anan thought about waiting for Chu Mingzhou to come back to discuss it. Since Hu Li was no different from herself and neither of them was from a regular army, there was no point in fussing over it.

We're leaving anyway, and there's no chance to see each other again, so why not just forget it.

It’s important to go home.

But the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
