Those people suddenly felt a chill running down their spines, and even in the hot June weather, they couldn't help but shiver.

The crowd seemed to be pushed aside by an invisible force, automatically making way for these people.

Commander Zhu walked in front, his steps steady and powerful, and he exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

The women looked at each other, all showing expressions of fear, and involuntarily took a few steps back.

Qin Zhen didn't immediately pay attention to the situation over there. He walked straight to Qin An Ning and asked with concern, "Where are you injured?"

"Dad, I'm fine. I'll just need to apply some medicine later. Let's not delay Commander Zhu from handling things now."

Meeting Qin Zhen's concerned eyes, Qin An Ning looked away guiltily. There were many things to be cautious about in the compound, and she couldn't just hit people casually. But if she didn't teach those people a lesson, she would not be able to let go of the anger in her heart.

She just did this on her face for a show, and it looks scary after using medicine, but it's actually not a big deal.

Qin Zhen stared at the wound on Qin An Ning's face for several times, moved his lower lip, and finally walked aside and stood there silently.

On the other hand, the women were still like turtles, and no one dared to respond to Commander Zhu's questions.

Qin Anning gently pushed Lu Cheng aside and stood up. She said in a hoarse voice, "Since no one is willing to speak, let me speak.

Lu Cheng and I originally planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things, but we ran into them on the way there, where they were talking bad about my family.

She said I was acting like a capitalist daughter, and that my father was a parasite of the country because he abused his power for personal gain and should be dragged out to eat peanuts. She said other things that were unbearable to hear.

I was so angry that I went up to them and argued with them.

They were accused of gossiping and talking nonsense about soldiers behind their backs, and this behavior clearly showed a low level of awareness.

I said I would report this matter to the political commissar so that the men in their families could improve their ideological awareness.

Also, the investigation has not yet come to a conclusion. What qualifications do they have to convict my father?

Who gave them the right to convict others at will?

I was very angry at the time and said I would go to Commander Zhu to get to the bottom of it.

But they were too guilty to let me ask, so they pulled me hard from behind, and then several of them pounced on me.

After Qin An Ning finished speaking, she deliberately turned her face to the side so that everyone could see her injuries.

Commander Zhu's eagle-like eyes fixed on the women before him. His voice was low and serious. "Is what Qin Anning said true? Is there anything else you need to explain?"

The entire scene seemed to be frozen, and the atmosphere was extremely tense and depressing.

Even though this seemed to be the way things were going, something just didn't seem right.

But they couldn't find what was wrong, so they all remained silent.

Commander Zhu pressed the issue again, "So you also admit that you've been gossiping about people behind their backs, spreading rumors, and even assaulting them?"

"We didn't hit anyone." A woman bravely replied.

"Bah, so many of us saw you guys beating Qin An Ning together. You still want to deny it now?" someone scolded angrily.

The woman's face was filled with grievance, tears streaming down her face. "I'm not trying to deny it. We really didn't mean to hit anyone. We just wanted to stop her from filing a complaint. We don't know how we ended up fighting together."

The woman's heart was filled with pain. She had also been beaten, and her body was in great pain, but she just couldn't lift up her clothes to show it to others.

"The facts are clear: this incident was caused by rumors." Commander Zhu glanced casually at Deputy Commander Ye and continued, "This incident is extremely serious in nature and has extremely serious consequences. It fully exposes the loopholes and shortcomings in our management of the military compound.

In particular, the ideological education of military families must be taken seriously!

The military families in the compound truly need to strengthen their ideological education. Political Commissar Wang, please personally take charge of this matter. You must ensure that every military family member has a deep understanding of their responsibilities and obligations. Never let something like this happen again!"

Having said that, Commander Zhu paused for a moment, his eyes became very stern, and he glanced at everyone present.

"As for those who spread the rumors, their actions have severely damaged the unity of the compound and must be dealt with severely! The specific punishment decision will be posted on the bulletin board tomorrow. Everyone should take a good look and learn from it!"

Then, Commander Zhu took a deep breath and raised his voice slightly.

“I have an important announcement to make here.

After a detailed and in-depth investigation by the Investigation Department, Comrade Qin Zhen has no problems and is a soldier who can withstand any test!

Comrade Qin Anning's vehicle was specially approved for her use by the organization after careful consideration because of her past great contributions. It is completely in compliance with regulations!

"They are innocent, both father and daughter, and both are good comrades! I don't want to hear any more rumors about them in our military compound. If we find out, we will punish them severely!"

Commander Zhu's words were so powerful that everyone present felt his determination and majesty.

Everyone present had different expressions. Some were frightened and trembling. After all, they had also gossiped before and didn't know whether they would be punished.

Some people secretly felt lucky that they did not participate in it and successfully escaped the disaster. At the same time, they warned themselves to be careful with their words and actions in the future and to control their mouths.

And those women were even more grief-stricken, with sorrowful faces and uneasy hearts, not knowing what kind of severe punishment would be waiting for them tomorrow.

Deputy Commander Ye was in a very complicated mood. He never thought that this incident would have such a big impact.

As the instigator, Jiang Mei could not escape punishment, and even he himself was implicated.

He looked at Qin Zhen and his daughter who had long gone away, and couldn't help feeling a little envious. How could Qin Zhen be so lucky to have such an outstanding daughter?

Deputy Commander Ye walked back home with heavy steps and ran into Jiang Mei, who was humming a little tune and preparing to go downstairs with a happy look on her face.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

Jiang Mei replied with a smile, "I heard that Qin Anning was beaten up, and I planned to go and join in the fun.

She felt a little regretful that she was washing clothes at home instead of going out today, and she didn't know if she would still see the joke if she went there now.

But it doesn’t matter if she can’t see anything warm, as long as she knows that Qin An Ning was beaten, she will be happy.

She was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice that Deputy Commander Ye's expression was becoming increasingly ugly.
