Chen Ye looked at Xia Qingtian's angry yet righteous expression, feeling helpless and angry.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then said seriously: "Doctor Xia, from the beginning I didn't deliberately hide my gender, but everyone preconceived that I was a gay."

"I am here to carry out my mission and help the villagers. I have never done anything inappropriate!"

Xia Qingtian was a little excited. She stood up and wanted to pull Chen Ye. She still couldn't believe that she was a lesbian!

She cried hysterically: "But you concealed your gender and led me into the quagmire. You ruined me!"

Seeing this, Su Wantang quickly stepped forward and stood between Xia Qingtian and Chen Ye.

When Xia Qingtian saw that the person coming was Su Wantang, she was startled, her body went limp, and she fell to the ground again.

Grievances and resentment instantly flooded my heart.

Su Wantang frowned slightly, looking down at Xia Qingtian with a stern gaze, and questioned in his tone: "Platoon Leader Chen is here to carry out the mission and participate in the rescue, not to date. Does it matter whether it is a man or a woman?"

"She hid her gender, but that's not an excuse for you to harm her!"

When Xia Qingtian saw Su Wantang, the anger in her heart was unstoppable like a volcanic eruption.

She yelled, "I'm talking to Platoon Leader Chen, I have nothing to do with you..."

Su Wantang didn't give her the chance to continue.

Her eyes flashed, and she interrupted her harshly: "Shut up!"

Xia Qingtian's face turned ashen, she bit her lips tightly, her eyes were full of hatred, and her hands unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes, her fingertips turning white from the force.

Then, Su Wantang raised her voice and continued in a firm tone: "Platoon Leader Chen did not take the initiative to state that she is a female comrade because she did not want the villagers to treat her specially because she is a woman! She hopes to fight side by side with her comrades. No matter how hard it is, she can bear it!"

After hearing this, the villagers who had just blamed Chen Ye suddenly showed shame on their faces, lowered their heads, and dared not look directly into the eyes of the crowd.

Before he was injured, Chen Ye always rushed to the front in every action, leading his comrades to do their best to rescue the villagers who were trapped under the collapsed houses.

Her spirit of not fearing hardship or fatigue made everyone believe that such a brave and tenacious soldier must be a real man. How could anyone have thought that she was actually a girl!

Su Wantang stared at Xia Qingtian with a sharp gaze, his tone full of blame and resentment: "Doctor Xia, think about it carefully. If Platoon Leader Chen was a male comrade, what serious consequences would your malicious framing of him bring to him?"

"If it's serious, he will most likely be forced to retire! Did you ever think before you did anything? Didn't your parents give you even a shred of conscience and the ability to think when they gave birth to you?"

Xia Qingtian had already burst into tears, but those tears were not because of regret.

It was because she felt that she had lost to Su Wantang again, and this feeling of failure almost made her collapse.

Fu Yanci stepped forward, his face stern, and he looked at Xia Qingtian with a sharp gaze: "Doctor Xia, your behavior has seriously affected the reputation of the army and the relationship between the army and the people. This matter must be properly resolved."

Liang Junwen also shook his head: "Doctor Xia, you are destroying your own future."

The villagers began to talk, and the accusations against Xia Qingtian became louder and louder.

The old villager sighed: "Alas, Dr. Xia, you are so confused! We trusted you so much, but you did such a thing."

Although Xia Qingtian was unwilling at this moment, she knew that she could no longer save the current situation.

There was a trace of panic in her eyes. She raised her head with a slight tremor and crawled to Chen Ye on her knees.

With a tearful voice, she said, trembling, "I know I was wrong, Platoon Leader Chen... Platoon Leader Chen, can you let me go?"

Wang Sisi was so frightened that her face turned pale. She also knelt down and begged for mercy: "We know we are wrong. Please forgive us, Platoon Leader Chen!"

Jiang Li watched Chen Ye being wronged and was furious. He didn't want Chen Ye to accept their apology at all.

In his eyes, anyone who uses such despicable means will never truly repent!

He turned around abruptly, faced Fu Yanci, and gave a standard and powerful military salute.

He said seriously: "Report to the regiment commander, this matter must be reported to the troops, and the troops will decide how to deal with it!"

Fu Yanci nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "Jiang Li is right, this matter really can't be let go like this."

When Xia Qingtian heard that Fu Yanci was unwilling to let her go, she burst into tears in despair.

She tried to beg for mercy: "I...I was wrong, please let me go, I was just confused for a moment..."

Chen Ye looked at the two people lying in a miserable state on the ground, sighed softly, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but he slowly turned around and stopped looking at them.

Afterwards, Jiang Li took the initiative to propose that he and Chen Ye take Xia Qingtian and Wang Sisi back to the army to be punished.

Fu Yanci nodded in agreement.

Chen Ye's leg injury has not yet healed, and in fact he should have gone back for treatment a long time ago.

Jiang Li immediately arranged a few people to escort Xia Qingtian and Wang Sisi into the car, and he quickly walked to Chen Ye and carefully supported her.

Chen Ye had been looking forward to attending the farewell party before leaving, but he didn't expect something like this to happen.

She hung her head somewhat disappointedly, looked at Su Wantang helplessly, and said goodbye softly: "Doctor Su, goodbye!"

Su Wantang walked up to her, patted her on the shoulder, and told her, "Go back and take good care of your injuries. Also, don't be soft-hearted!"
