"We checked the family information of Comrade Zhang Jinfeng to see if it matched what she said. We also asked some of her neighbors and educated youth in the village. None of them knew anything about this. This shows how discreet Battalion Commander Xue is in his work. Well, he is the most capable young officer here. It's not surprising that he has such methods of committing crimes."

"But we can't convict him based on just one side of the story. Even if he can be proven innocent later, these months of imprisonment will be very difficult."

Xue Yanchen is about to marry Luo Jingyan, and he understands what a few months means for the young couple.

Let alone them, even ordinary people, if they are innocent, who would willingly be wronged and imprisoned? Imprisonment is an immense torment for the wronged.

Finally, he said to Division Commander Li, "You handled this matter on your own before. Now I've decided that we, the important leaders of the military region, will hold a meeting to specifically study this case. Regardless of who is right or wrong, we must find out a definite result."

Commander Li gritted his teeth inwardly. Commander Lu really valued Xue Yanchen. There was fighting on the front lines, yet he still had the mind to care about these things.

"Commander Lu, the situation at the front is very tense." He tried to divert Commander Lu's attention.

"I know that the front line is important, but the rear management cannot be relaxed either. The front is the shield, and the rear is the driving force of the shield. Whether it is the front or the rear, they are equally important. Only when both the front and the rear are well managed can the entire army be stable."

Commander Li was at his wit's end. Even if Commander Lu sent people to investigate again, things would remain the same, and nothing could be changed.

Before they left, Commander Lu instructed Xue Yanchen: "Xiao Xue, you must get some rest. Trust the organization. It will not let any soldier be wronged, and of course, it will not let any bad person go unpunished."

Xue Yanchen nodded affirmatively to him, indicating his trust in him.

As they were leaving, Zhang Jinfeng was still crying and cursing, trying to show how wronged she was and how much she hated Xue Yanchen. In the end, she was carried out of the ward by two soldiers.

Not long after they left, Luo Jingyan said to Grandma Xue and Xue Yanchen, "Grandma, you stay here with Yanchen. I'm going to talk to Zhang Jinfeng."

Grandma Xue and Xue Yanchen seemed to know what she was going to do.

"Will she admit it?" Old Mrs. Xue asked.

"Grandma, I won't tell her about this. You don't need to worry about it. Just wait for me here."

"Wife, you need to be careful."

Luo Jingyan winked at him, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Not long after Zhang Jinfeng left the ward, she was asked to leave the military region. She cried and begged several military leaders, feeling extremely wronged. But as soon as she got outside, she immediately changed her expression, her face quickly turning from gloomy to sunny, with a satisfied smile on her face.

But she didn't know that someone was following her all along, and that person was Luo Jingyan, who was hiding in the space.

After leaving the hospital, Luo Jingyan found a corner and used the space to hide herself, secretly following Zhang Jinfeng.

Zhang Jinfeng left the hospital with the military region leaders. Once outside, she was taken away by soldiers alone.

Luo Jingyan did not notice anything unusual between her and Commander Li.

If Zhang Jinfeng and Division Commander Li were truly in cahoots, the fact that they hadn't communicated suggests that Division Commander Li had spoken to Zhang Jinfeng beforehand, but was hesitant to give her any instructions due to the presence of other superiors.

However, based on Luo Jingyan's observation of Zhang Jinfeng and Commander Li's personal behavior and expressions, they didn't seem to even exchange glances in private. In other words, Zhang Jinfeng only regarded Commander Li as an ordinary leader who could help her.

If it's the second scenario, why would Zhang Jinfeng frame Xue Yanchen?

She continued to follow Zhang Jinfeng all the way back to the guesthouse, watching Zhang Jinfeng go into her room.

Having obtained Zhang Jinfeng's room number, she left the guesthouse and, after exiting the space, openly returned to the guesthouse.

She and Old Mrs. Xue hadn't checked out of their guest room yet. She went back to her room, put on makeup to look like a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties, and then went to knock on Zhang Jinfeng's door.

Who is it?

Zhang Jinfeng opened the door and found a strange middle-aged woman standing there. She asked, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

"I need to find you," Luo Jingyan said.

"But I don't know you, why are you looking for me?" Zhang Jinfeng, being in a foreign place, was still somewhat wary of strangers.

Luo Jingyan directly showed the few ten-yuan bills she had in her pocket, but after Zhang Jinfeng saw them, she quickly stuffed them back into her pocket.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know me, as long as I know you, that's enough. I want you to do something for me. Once it's done, all this money is yours."

When Zhang Jinfeng saw the money, her gaze immediately became fixed on it, her eyes practically glued to those few ten-yuan bills.

She then beckoned to Luo Jingyan, "Let's come inside and talk."

The two went inside, and Zhang Jinfeng's attitude towards Luo Jingyan improved even more, smiling as she offered her a seat.

"Tell me what you want me to do. But first, you have to tell me who you are."

"I'm from a village near this military region. It wouldn't make much sense for me to tell you my name and address, as it might not be true. But the money is real. Do you want it?"

She then showed off the few ten-yuan bills again and raised an eyebrow at Zhang Jinfeng.

Zhang Jinfeng grinned, revealing a set of large, yellow teeth, when she saw the money: "I know you won't give me money for nothing. Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do for you? Whatever you ask, it has to be something I can actually do."

Luo Jingyan hesitated for a moment, then looked up at him and said, "I had a feud with someone here a while ago, and I want to get revenge on him. I want you to help me frame him."

"Another frame-up?" Zhang Jinfeng blurted out instinctively.

Luo Jingyan's eyes lit up with joy as she asked, "What's wrong? Have you framed other people before?"

Zhang Jinfeng knew she shouldn't say too much about Xue Yanchen, so she quickly changed the subject: "Why did you ask me to frame someone?"

"Because I see you're a stranger and you're staying at a guesthouse, you're definitely not a local. If the truth of this kind of false accusation comes out, you'll have already left since you're from out of town, so what can he do to you?"

Zhang Jinfeng figured she was leaving soon anyway, so she might as well pull off one last heist—it was worth several hundred thousand yuan.

She and her husband earned work points by farming for the production team, earning only a few dozen yuan a year. This sudden windfall of several dozen yuan was too easy to make.

She already has experience in framing people; all she has to do is cry and make a scene.

"Who is that person? How can I frame him?"

His name is Xue Yanchen.
