Chapter 47 Xie Jingchen actually did this

"Comrade Qiao Feitian," Xie Jingchen's tone was icy, devoid of emotion, and entirely focused on discipline, "As a military dependent, you knowingly and deliberately violated discipline, first by instigating soldiers to break the rules. Then you slandered and framed others, attempting to cover up your mistakes, and even tried to use your status as the 'regimental commander's fiancée' to get away with it. You have seriously affected and even damaged the relationship between the military and the people, and tarnished the reputation of military dependents! This matter is extremely serious, and I must teach you a profound lesson."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Feitian's body began to tremble violently uncontrollably.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word; she seemed to have become mute.

But she would rather be deaf so she wouldn't hear what was coming next, so her heart wouldn't shatter into countless pieces and hurt so much she would die.

Xie Jingchen announced to the public: "Comrade Qiao Feitian, from this moment on, I am annulling our engagement. From now on, we will have no further connection. You are not allowed to use any name related to me in your activities outside the military, otherwise you will be violating military regulations. If discovered, I will deal with you strictly in accordance with military regulations."

Qiao Feitian closed her eyes in despair.

Xie Jingchen continued, "For the next month, you will be punished by working in the agricultural company to receive education, supervised by Comrade Xia Fanxing. You will experience the lives of ordinary workers and the masses through hard work and learn what respect is."

Qiao Feitian's lips trembled as she tried to say something, but when she met Xie Jingchen's deep black eyes, she dared not refute anything.

She had no other choice but to accept it.

Accept the fact that she is no longer Xie Jingchen's fiancée.

If we accept that she has to work in the agricultural sector for a month, her hands might rot and her thumb and forefinger might break.

They also had to endure daily ridicule and humiliation from Xia Fanxing and that group of damned low-level employees, losing all their dignity and personal integrity.

Tears streamed down Qiao Feitian's face as she cried louder and more agitated.

She was terrified of her future life and felt very resentful!

She's no longer Xie Jingchen's fiancée, so who is she? Xia Fanxing?

Could it be that she, the transmigrator, will ultimately be defeated by the plot, and that Xia Fanxing, the white moonlight in the book, is Xie Jingchen's final destination?

The matter is now considered closed.

The crowd felt that Xie Jingchen handled the situation very well and were satisfied with the outcome.

Many people are planning to leave immediately.

But Xia Fanxing stood still, frowning.

She felt it wasn't enough.

Even though Xie Jingchen and Qiao Feitian's engagement was dissolved, and even though Qiao Feitian had to work hard for a month, Xia Fanxing felt that these punishments were too lenient and could not at all offset her mistakes.

A month later, Qiao Feitian was still able to return to the radio station, which everyone considered a good job.

She can still enjoy a life of luxury, do an enviable job, and earn a high salary.

Perhaps in a year or two, people will forget what she did.

People like her should be punished more severely; they should be investigated, imprisoned, and ultimately expelled from the military and never rehired.

Just as Xia Fanxing was about to speak, Xie Jingchen said again, "I know some people will think that this punishment is still too lenient."

Xia Fanxing looked at him in surprise.

But he didn't just look at Xia Fanxing; instead, his gaze swept firmly across the faces of everyone in the room.

Qiao Feitian was so frightened by his gaze that she immediately stopped crying.

Xie Jingchen's voice was deep and resolute: "No matter what, it was my fault as her fiancé for failing to discipline Comrade Qiao Feitian properly, and for not noticing her misconduct in time. Although I have now dissolved our engagement, it doesn't mean I can shirk my inescapable responsibilities."

“As the regimental commander, I cannot substitute personal feelings for the law, so I will accept the remaining punishment. This punishment certainly cannot be just a verbal reprimand; it is inappropriate to use the iron fist of discipline on female comrades, so I will bear it on their behalf.”

Everyone was shocked!

What did Commander Xie mean by that?

"The iron fist of discipline"? What is he trying to do?

Xie Jingchen called out in a low voice towards the outside of the supply and marketing cooperative: "Guards!"

"Here!" The young guard who had been standing guard outside the supply and marketing cooperative lifted the curtain and came in.

Although he was outside, he heard everything that happened inside.

He knew Xie Jingchen well and knew what would happen next based on the commander's personality.

So at this moment, his eyes had involuntarily reddened, and there was even a hint of tears glistening in them.

Xie Jingchen's emotions remained unchanged, and his expression was as cold and indifferent as ever.

He shouted clearly, "Regulations: Neglecting discipline and condoning relatives' violations of military discipline, harming relations between the military and civilians. According to military regulations, twenty lashes, to be carried out immediately!"

"Yes, sir!" the guard replied loudly.

But if you listen carefully, you can hear the sob in his voice.

The guard silently felt indignant for the regimental commander. This matter clearly had nothing to do with the regimental commander, so why was the regimental commander being punished so severely?

The guard gritted his teeth and unbuckled his belt from his waist.

The military belt is a belt issued to soldiers by the military. It is usually made of cowhide and has a very heavy metal buckle at the front.

The guard hesitated for a moment, then held the metal buckle in his hand and carried out the execution using only the belt.

He wanted to use this method to minimize the serious harm to Xie Jingchen.

At this moment, the crowd present was stunned!

They never expected things to turn out this way.

Commander Xie not only severely punished his former fiancée, but he himself was also to be whipped, and twenty times at that?!

Good heavens, the military belts look really sturdy, and they're made of real cowhide. It must hurt so much to be hit by them.

Someone couldn't help but speak up: "Um... Commander Xie, in my opinion, how about we just let it go? After all, it wasn't your fault, and we'd feel bad making you accept such a severe punishment."

"Yes, Commander Xie, everyone is already very satisfied with this result."

"Commander Xie, why don't you go back to your unit and talk about it later?"

Returning to the unit to accept punishment is also a delaying tactic.

Anyway, Xie Jingchen was the regimental commander, the highest-ranking officer. If the execution was carried out back at the unit, who would really be watching? They could just do a quick and easy job and be done with it.

Xie Jingchen remained silent.

He strode to the door, his rough hands lifting the quilt and curtain as he went out.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, assuming that Xie Jingchen had listened to their advice and left.

But looking at the guard again, his eyes were still red, and he was about to leave, clutching his belt tightly.

Someone stopped him and asked, puzzled, "Comrade, aren't you going to put it on?"

The guard pursed his lips, shook his head, offered no further explanation, and quickly walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

The group looked at each other, unsure of what was going on, and quickly followed them outside.

Xia Fanxing and Su Weiguo exchanged a glance and went out one after the other.

When Xia Fanxing arrived at the open space outside the supply and marketing cooperative and saw the scene before her, she was once again shocked by Xie Jingchen.

The biting wind stung his face, but the man took off all his warm clothes and folded them neatly on the ground beside him.

So he was left with only a white tank top on his upper body.

With his back to the crowd, Xie Jingchen whispered to the guard, "Let's begin."
