Chapter 152 Find out the truth

Ye Ying was indeed ruthless at times, but after getting to know her over time, he intuitively felt that Ye Ying would not do such a cruel thing.

When Dayan Village was flooded, comrades and villagers sacrificed their lives from time to time, and he saw almost all of her reactions.

This doesn't look like something that is fake, does it?

During the field training in eastern Anhui, he thought about it and came to the conclusion that a person who has sympathy and respect for life should not do such a cruel and harmful thing.

Let’s not talk about whether this matter has anything to do with Ye Ying. Even if it does, and Ye Ying really did it, he would not cover it up no matter what!

Not to mention that he would hide the matter for the sake of his own future.

His status would never allow him to do such a thing!

Thinking of this, Ji Lianqi coldly rejected Lin Ranran: "Let Zhou Lingling go, she is indeed a victim."

"As for whether Ye Ying did this or not, the higher-ups will definitely investigate it, and I will not speak against my conscience for the sake of my so-called future."

"If this is indeed true, then I will accept the organization's handling."

After hearing this, Lin Ranran looked incredulous.

Ji Lianqi didn't buy it at all!

She doesn't believe it!

"Brother Lian Qi, do you really not care? Do you not care about your father's life or death? Do you know what this means to him?"

"You still have a long way to go in the future, and your future is bright. I heard from my brother that the higher-ups are interested in promoting you. Why do you have to get involved with Ye Ying? I don't understand!"

Lin Ranran's anxious look made Ji Lianqi more certain of his guess.

He knew in his heart that there must be something going on, so this time, he didn't rush to refuse.

He decided to find out.

Ji Lianqi looked at Lin Ranran and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Well, give me some time to think about it."

"Really?" Lin Ranran was dumbfounded for a moment, unable to believe what she heard, "Brother Lian Qi, have you agreed?"

"How much and how long do you need to consider it?"

Lin Ranran's voice trembled, her heart was in her throat, and she looked at Ji Lianqi expectantly.

Will he agree?

Ji Lianqi turned his head and glanced at the sky, and said indifferently: "One or two days."

Hearing this, Lin Ranran was excited: "Okay! I, I will go and tell Lingling right away, and tell her not to rush to find the political commissar!"

In her opinion, as long as Ji Lianqi didn't refuse explicitly, there was hope!

Before leaving, she reminded Ji Lianqi: "Brother Lianqi, remember to manage your time well. I'll come see you in two days!"

In his eyes, one can clearly see the look of a villain who has achieved success.

After Lin Ranran trotted away, Ji Lianqi followed closely and left the corridor.

After the two left one after the other, Sun Lin and Wei Hongxing, who had been hiding behind the door and eavesdropping on the entire process, were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

They heard it all!

The two looked at each other, surprised by what they had just overheard.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ranran actually wanted to use this incident to threaten Ji Lianqi!

"Ran Ran is really going too far!" Sun Lin said angrily, "First of all, she clearly knocked out her front tooth herself, but she actually said that it was Sister Ye Ying who beat her!"

"What?" Wei Hongxing frowned in surprise, "Did you see it?"

"Yeah!" Sun Lin nodded firmly, "That night I was about to go out to take a shower, and I saw Ran Ran appear at the door of Sister Ye Ying's house."

"She accidentally fell while going up the stairs, and her front tooth was knocked out. I saw it clearly at the time!"

"This woman is interesting!" Wei Hongxing was speechless.

"Brother Hongxing, what should we do?" Sun Lin's face was twisted into a ball, "Should we tell the leader about what happened today?"

"Don't do that yet." Wei Hongxing said seriously, "At the moment, none of us can determine whether Zhou Lingling's problem was caused by Ye Ying."

He knew the seriousness of the matter. Since Ji Lianqi did this, he must have his reasons.

"So, let's not get involved in this matter for now. We can step forward when we are needed."

"Brother Hongxing, what nonsense are you talking about!" Sun Lin was a little dissatisfied and subconsciously excused Ye Ying: "It definitely couldn't have been caused by Sister Ye Ying! I don't believe she would do such a thing!"

She suddenly opened the door and said, "No! I may not know much about other things, but I must tell Captain Ji about the beating!"

Before she could go out, Wei Hongxing pulled her back from behind, "Linlin, be obedient."

Sun Lin pouted in dissatisfaction, very confused why Wei Hongxing didn't let her tell Ji Lianqi about it.

But in the end, he was convinced by Wei Hongxing.

Ji Lianqi originally wanted to look for Hao Yonggang and Xiu Lian, but as soon as he went downstairs, he turned back.

In the evening, he finally couldn't help himself and went to find Zhou Lingling alone, risking controversy.

He stayed in the room for the whole afternoon, thinking about things.

The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it, and only Zhou Lingling can solve the doubts in his heart.

Zhou Lingling was startled when she saw Ji Lianqi suddenly appear in front of her door, and she instinctively wanted to close the door.

Ji Lianqi did not miss the flash of panic on Zhou Lingling's face.

The panicked look on her face further confirmed his guess—Zhou Lingling must have lied.

Zhou Lingling seemed to realize that her behavior was a bit of a cover-up and she quickly calmed down.

"Captain Ji, Captain Ji, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Ji Lianqi nodded, "Something happened."

Zhou Lingling pretended to be calm: "So, what's the matter? It's about..."

"It's about the baby in your belly." Ji Lianqi said succinctly and pointedly:

"I know you are very sad that Wang Fei died in this operation. He was from my Second Battalion. I am also very sad about this. I can understand your feelings very well."

"But I came here to ask you clearly, was it really Ye Ying's behavior that directly caused the baby in your belly to die?"

Zhou Lingling was stunned at first, and her eyes suddenly widened.

She swallowed and lowered her eyelids: "Yes, yes. It was Ye Ying who did it."

Ji Lianqi's sharp eyes scanned Zhou Lingling's expression and asked coldly, "What was her motive for doing this? What are the details of what happened?"

Hearing this, Zhou Lingling shuddered.

If you look closely, you can see that her hands are shaking slightly under her sleeves.

After a while, Zhou Lingling seemed to recover.

"Her motives...how would I know?"

"Captain Ji, you should know better than me what kind of person Ye Ying is. She has done so many immoral things in the past!"
