Team Leader Zhang looked pale, but he struggled to stay upright.

After listening to him, Deputy Commander Wu didn't even look at him and went straight to the director of the political department.

"Is this how people in your political department work? They even frame military spouses in the unit. Does he deserve to be a soldier? I think your political department should stop investigating others and start investigating its own people first."

"This is utter nonsense!"

The director of the political department had a dark expression on his face, opened his mouth, and then closed it again.

Deputy Commander Wu glanced at him, then looked at Lu Fangfang.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, we're sorry you've been wronged. Don't worry, our military region will make sure you explain this matter. As a soldier, you can't act without a bottom line!"

Team Leader Zhang could no longer hold back and collapsed to the ground.

He knew he was finished.

With Deputy Commander Wu's words, this soldier with no moral compass is completely finished in his political career.

He turned his head and looked pitifully at his director, hoping that someone would speak up for him.

Even after his political career ended, he wanted to stay in the military and didn't want to be sent back to his hometown.

"Take him away!"

The director of the political department waved his hand, ordering someone to drag him away to avoid making a fool of himself.

"Director? Director? You can't abandon me, Director..."

Director Niu's face darkened. After everyone was taken away, he walked up to Deputy Commander Wu and admitted his mistake.

"Comrade Commander, I misjudged people and was deceived by Zhang Zhiming. I will make a self-criticism at the meeting tomorrow."

"Zhang Zhiming, I will definitely deal with him seriously. This kind of person is a bad element hiding in our political department. I will dig deep and expel all those associated with him from the team! They will all be dealt with severely!"

"snort."

Deputy Commander Wu ignored the people from the Political Department.

He couldn't even see the current winds blowing, and he felt powerless, only able to try his best to prevent the military region from descending into chaos.

Hopefully, this reprimand today will bring some stability to the military region.

Deputy Commander Wu sighed inwardly, then waved his hand, dismissing the cadres.

"Commander? Commander? Me? I'm still here! Please save me, Commander! I'm a military wife from our regiment too! You can't do this to me..."

Zhu Haiming stood to the side, almost in tears.

She felt like she was invisible, and no one cared about her.

Gao Dajiang glanced back, somewhat reluctant to get involved; the entire group had almost been implicated because of her.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked up to Deputy Commander Wu and whispered, "Old leader, she's pregnant. Do you think we could be lenient with her?"

Deputy Commander Wu glanced back, then nodded to indicate that he understood.

He called over the investigation team and said a few words.

After everyone left, Deputy Commander Wu walked up to Lu Fangfang and looked her over.

"Who is Zhuang Jianxun to you?"

Lu Fangfang was taken aback, thinking of Zhuang's father's phone call, and she turned to look at Zhuang Mingcheng.

Zhuang Mingcheng saluted and said loudly, "Comrade Commander, he is our father."

Deputy Commander Wu looked at the two of them with some surprise.

He stepped forward and patted Zhuang Mingcheng on the shoulder, saying happily, "Good, good, you should learn from your father and become a true soldier."

"yes."

...

As Lu Fangfang left the military compound, she was still somewhat confused.

Is that how the matter is resolved?

She felt a sense of gratitude towards the investigation team for bringing her to Lanzhou for free.

Although she was filled with anxiety along the way, she was genuinely happy because she saved on train tickets, and in the end, even that utterly wicked team leader Zhang was dealt with and was to be dismissed.

"Mingcheng, what does your father do? How does he know Commander Wu?"

Only then did Lu Fangfang finally ask the question that had been bothering her.

Zhuang Mingcheng shook his head and said:

“My dad doesn’t do anything now, he’s at home recuperating. He used to be in the army, and he was injured in the arm by a bomb in Korea. His health has never been very good. Deputy Commander Wu must have heard of my dad from someone else.”

"ah……"

Upon hearing this, Lu Fangfang suddenly regretted telling Zhuang's father that she had tattled on Zhou Huairu.

She glanced at Zhuang Mingcheng and whispered something, afraid of upsetting Zhuang's father.

Zhuang Mingcheng: "..."

He rubbed his fiancée's head vigorously, then sighed and said, "It's okay, my dad's used to it, and so am I."

Lu Fangfang: "..."

Zhuang's mother must have done a lot of evil deeds in the past; she suddenly felt a little sorry for Zhuang Mingcheng and his son.

Well, she doesn't want to get used to this.

"Fangfang, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my mother. I'm sorry, but please don't take what she said to heart."

Lu Fangfang shook her head. Apart from the fact that Zhuang's mother had reported her, she didn't really care about anything else.

Even when Zhuang's mother called her illiterate, she wasn't angry, because she knew she wasn't.

Looking back, there were two soldiers standing guard with guns at the entrance of the military compound. Further inside were three-story buildings, which were much more impressive than their regimental family compound.

Just then, Gao Dajiang came out of the compound in a jeep, and she pulled Zhuang Mingcheng forward quickly.

"Commander, I'm really sorry to have troubled you with this matter."

Gao Dajiang sat in the jeep and waved.

"Xiao Lu, don't be so polite. It's all what I should do. The old leader wasn't just helping you, Zhuang Mingcheng!"

"arrive!"

"I'll give you three days off to spend with your loved one and explore the provincial capital. After three days, you'll return to your unit immediately, and Lao Xiao and I will be your witnesses at your wedding!"

"yes!"

Zhuang Mingcheng turned to look at his fiancée, a smile spreading across his face.

There were other things to do in the group, so Gao Dajiang didn't stay long. After finishing his conversation, he got into the jeep and left.

Lu Fangfang stood at the gate of the military compound, her joy quickly turning into confusion.

She turned to Zhuang Mingcheng and asked, "Where are we going next?"

Zhuang Mingcheng scratched his head. He had been living in the big grassy courtyard at the foot of Qilian Mountain for years and was not familiar with the provincial capital.

After thinking for a moment, he took his lover and headed to the department store.

In a city, the busiest place is definitely the department store.

When he goes back this time, he and his wife will be getting married, so he'll go buy some things for the wedding.
