He didn't seem to see Zhang Fei either. With such a big incident happening here, shouldn't Zhang Fei come out and uphold justice? What has he been doing?

Sister-in-law Zhang: "I came out as soon as I heard the shouting, but I didn't see Battalion Commander Lu come out."

Yang Qiuyue: "I came out of the house with Sister Zhang, and I didn't see Battalion Commander Lu come out either."

“Then he must be at home,” Political Commissar Hu said. “I’ll go see what he’s doing inside.”

Political Commissar Hu led the way inside, followed by a large group of people. Seeing that two doors were tightly closed, Political Commissar Hu asked Lin Qingyan, "Does Zhengting live in this room?"

"Yes, I'll go get him."

She walked to the door and knocked a few times. "Zhengting, the political commissar is here."

A male voice then came from inside, "Oh, I understand."

Calm and methodical.

After a while, the door opened, and Lu Zhengting, dressed neatly, walked out of the house, followed by a man and a child, Battalion Commander Zhang and his son Xiao Binbin.

Xiao Binbin rubbed his eyes with both hands, looking like he had just woken up and was still sleepy.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Someone was shouting outside just now. Dad and Uncle Lu said it's none of my business and told me to go back to sleep. What happened?"

Seeing that Zhang Fei and Xiao Binbin were both there, and hearing what Xiao Binbin said, the others could roughly guess that Zhang Fei and Xiao Binbin had slept there. So, how could Lu Zhengting possibly bully Shen Mengya under Zhang Fei's nose?

Seeing this, Lin Qingyan understood that even when she wasn't home, her husband was always on guard against Shen Mengya.

Shen Mengya was even more surprised that Zhang Fei would bring the child to sleep here; she had thought they had gone home.

Lu Zhengting saw both Lin Qingyan and Political Commissar Hu.

He first said to Lin Qingyan, "Wife, I didn't know you could come back so early, otherwise I would have come to pick you up."

"I came back after I finished treating all the patients at the hospital."

"oh."

Seeing the couple chatting so calmly, everyone was even more certain that Lu Zhengting would not betray Lin Qingyan.

This also shows how much Lin Qingyan trusts Lu Zhengting.

Political Commissar Hu pointed at Shen Mengya and asked Lu Zhengting, "This woman claims to be your god-sister. Did you deliberately bully her while your wife was away?"

"No," Lu Zhengting answered calmly and composedly. "She has ulterior motives and deliberately framed me."

"I didn't frame you. You're just bullying me and trying to do something indecent to me."

"Oh, I bullied you? Who saw it? Who can testify? You think you can convict me just based on your words? I've lived an honest and upright life, and you think you can ruin me with just one sentence? Do you think that's possible?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I came here yesterday to play chess with Zheng Ting. He said his wife might not be back that night, so he asked Binbin and me to keep him company. The three of us have been inside the house the whole time. As for this woman saying that Zheng Ting bullied her, that's obviously a blatant lie."

Political Commissar Hu nodded. "I understand."

He looked at Shen Mengya and said, “Although I don’t know what grudge you have against each other or why you framed Battalion Commander Lu, your actions have endangered the reputation and safety of our military comrades. It’s likely that your goal is not simply to ruin his reputation, but that you want him to suffer a more severe punishment. Therefore, your true colors have been exposed, and you will also be severely punished.”

Shen Mengya never expected things to take such a turn, nor did she expect it to happen so quickly and so suddenly.

She vehemently protested, "No, no, no, I didn't mean to frame Battalion Commander Lu. He's my brother. Why would I frame him? If he really wanted to do something to me, you must believe me. I'm just a weak woman here, all alone. You must stand up for me!"

Lin Qingyan retorted, "Shen Mengya, are you implying that whoever is weaker is right? You're deliberately playing the victim; do you think everyone will sympathize with you and believe you?"

Political Commissar Hu asked Shen Mengya, "Everything requires evidence. You say Zheng Ting bullied you, but where is your evidence? Did anyone witness it?"

"Evidence?" She suddenly looked at Grandma Lu, hoping that Grandma Lu could help her lie: "Grandma, Zheng Ting bullied me just now, did you see it? The political commissar said that there must be witnesses, you have to testify for me, Grandma."

Grandma Lu was startled. Shen Mengya was asking her to lie through her teeth and help her frame Lu Zhengting.
