Chapter 195 The Little Cub's Quick Wit and Tricks

Su Xuetong was shocked. "How could that be? What mistake could he have made?"

Although Brother Jiang is a bit reckless, he doesn't seem like the type to make serious mistakes.

"This whistleblower letter bypassed the Suzhou Military Region and was delivered directly to Beijing. In other words, the Suzhou Military Region is currently unaware of this matter. The person who reported this is truly malicious and has used ruthless methods!"

Ji Yanjing slowly put away the letter, his dark eyes filled with ruthlessness. "When Jiang Anchao brought the child over yesterday, I felt that he was hiding something from me. I never expected... it would be such a terrible disaster."

He instantly remembered the question Jiang Anchao had asked him before he left.

Impersonating someone else to join the army is an unforgivable mistake no matter where it is. I didn't think much about it when I answered him, but I only realize it now.

Jiang Anchao wasn't just chatting with me; he had already anticipated the worst-case scenario.

Ji Yanjing looked at his wife, his tone reassuring, "Xuetong, you're pregnant now and can't be frightened. Take good care of Zhizhi and Zhenwei at home. I'll go call back to Beijing to ask what's going on. Later, I'll go to the Suzhou war zone to see if this matter can be suppressed."

“Ah Jing, you hold a high position and have some influence in the capital. This letter of complaint is clearly someone deliberately trying to target Brother Jiang’s family. We can’t just sit idly by. After all, they are Zhizhi’s parents. We can’t just watch this family fall apart.”

Su Xuetong has always been a kind person. She doesn't understand military procedures. She just follows her heart and feels that Deng Qiu and Jiang Anchao are not the kind of people who would do bad things. There must be another hidden story behind this matter.

Ji Yanjing nodded; he was well aware of the seriousness of the matter.

To put it nicely, it was just a matter of using someone else's name. His achievements in the military are actually due to his own hard work, so it's not a big deal.

But to put it bluntly, this is deceiving the country. What if he is an unidentified enemy agent, or a spy with other motives who wants to find out about the internal situation of the military?

The matter could be serious or minor, and the person who reported it was well aware of this, so he went directly to the capital to file a complaint, hoping that the highest command would issue an execution order directly, leaving the local authorities with no chance to plead for leniency.

That's why he said the person who reported him was vicious and was trying to drive the Jiang family to ruin.

"I know, but don't tell Zhizhi yet. She's too young to understand the ins and outs. I'll go ask her first."

"good."

Ji Yanjing hurriedly left the courtyard with the letter in his hand. He found a phone booth along the street, inserted the phone card, and dialed the number of his familiar comrade-in-arms.

The call was answered quickly, and the first thing Ji Yanjing asked was the question he most wanted to ask.

"Yanjing, I know you called to ask about this, but I advise you not to get involved. This is not something that you or I can suppress. I sent you this letter just to let you know what's going on."

Upon hearing his comrade's words, Ji Yanjing's heart sank to the bottom.

He felt his throat tighten as he spoke, “But if I remember correctly, didn’t you take your brother’s place in the army back then? Jiang Anchao had his reasons for this. I can take him back to the capital and explain to our superiors that he didn’t take the place voluntarily at all. We should all take into account his contributions to the organization over the years.”

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long time, the other side remained indifferent. "The letter reporting him was sent from Suzhou, and it's certain that the person who reported him knows about Jiang Anchao's family. Even many details match up one by one. The highest command has received the letter and has begun to check all of Jiang Anchao's files since he enlisted. The telegram should have already been sent to the Suzhou war zone. He will be taken away for questioning by special personnel before noon. It's impossible for you to suppress it now."

"Who reported this? Since it was a letter, there should be a signature, right?"

Ji Yanjing asked the question that concerned him most.

"Due to confidentiality regulations, I cannot tell you."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Ji Yanjing looked at the heavy snow falling outside the street, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

He absentmindedly pulled out the phone card, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a tiny little bundle of joy standing in the snow, her hands still draped loosely around her neck, not even properly covered with woolen gloves.

"Zhizhi... why are you out here?"

Ji Yanjing strode forward and hurriedly reached out to wipe away the remaining snowflakes from her body.

"Uncle... ...Dad had an accident, right?"

Jiang Zhizhi's soft, sweet voice was tinged with tears. Her eyes, which were always smiling, were now filled with tears. She could no longer hold back and threw herself into her uncle's arms.

"Dad is not wrong, it's Jiang Yan's fault! Uncle, can you please save my dad? Dad is a good man, he never intended to deceive anyone!"

The child's mournful voice drew the attention of passersby.

Ji Yanjing felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. He gently patted the little cub's back, "Listen, Zhizhi, leave this to your uncle. I will help your father. Don't worry, okay?"

"I know who reported him. He was the one who threatened to report Daddy yesterday, and today Daddy was reported. It must be him. Didn't he want Zhizhi to go with him? Zhizhi can go with him and make him give up reporting Daddy, okay?"

The little cub's voice became hoarse from crying, and she clung tightly to her uncle's collar.

She hates Jiang Yan!

Jiang Yan is the worst villain in the world!

Ji Yanjing didn't understand what Zhizhi meant, but since he had been entrusted with this task, he couldn't let anything happen to the child while he was here.

"Listen to me, Zhizhi, let's go back and think of a solution, okay? Don't cry during the New Year, your face will look ugly if you cry."

In the end, Ji Yanjing coaxed and tricked Zhizhi into returning to the courtyard.

He handed Zhizhi over to Xuetong to take care of, and then drove off alone.

Su Xuetong kept wiping away Zhizhi's tears with tissues, but the little dumpling seemed to be made of water, tears falling incessantly. In the end, even Su Xuetong herself started to cry.

Grandpa Ji had just returned from his morning exercise when he spotted his daughter-in-law and granddaughter sitting opposite each other, crying.

He was startled and rushed in, asking, "Why are you crying so hard? What happened? Is your second son dead?"

"dad!"

Su Xuetong sniffled and gave her father-in-law a reproachful snort, explaining with a sob, "It's not that A-Jing had an accident."

"That's... Zhizhi, something happened to your parents?"

Zhizhi cried even louder, as if she wanted to wail and tear the roof off.

Ji Zeguo stared at it for a long time, his heart pounding with anxiety, like an ant on a hot tin roof.

He spread his hands, his face turning even uglier. "It can't be me who's dead!"
