Chapter 384: Openly Disrupting Order
When the show was over, Lin Anan found Lin Zihuai backstage.
He was in the corner, scratching his hair in frustration and talking to Dujuan.
He caught a glimpse of Lin Anan's figure from the corner of his eye and immediately straightened his back: "Sister!"
Lin Anan hummed softly, sat down next to the two of them, looked at Du Juan and said, "Some time ago... Captain Wu's wife had a quarrel with your stepmother."
Du Juan looked up in confusion, "Sister An An, what do you mean?"
Du Juan just came back and had no idea about these things. She rested in the art troupe dormitory last night and was busy with performances today, so naturally she had no time to inquire.
Lin Anan explained the matter briefly and to the point, leaving Du Juan in silence.
"I really don't know that female comrade, and I have never confiscated any scarf from her, really!" Lin Zihuai emphasized the scarf that Wu Jiao mentioned.
Seeing that he was anxious, Du Juan nodded to comfort him, "I know, I believe you."
Seeing that Lin Zihuai's ears were red with anxiety, Lin Anan handed him the kettle she had prepared for him, "Don't worry, the innocent will be innocent. But this little girl is extreme in her actions. She dares to do this on such a big day. It is indeed a trouble."
"I don't care what kind of trouble she is. I will report her to the leader tomorrow! She is not extreme. She has a bad work style and a problem with her thinking!"
Lin Zihuai was really angry. He had worked so hard for so long, and performed so hard, just for today! He wanted to earn some glory, to bring honor to his family, and to give Du Juan a reliable promise. But now... it was ruined by an inexplicable person.
Lin Anan patted Lin Zihuai's shoulder and said, "Don't be impulsive. Commander Zheng has already appointed Commander Wu. Let's see what happens first. If you are not satisfied with the result, it is not too late to report it. Commander Wu has some experience in the military region. If you act rashly, you will be easily caught."
Lin Zihuai clenched his fists tightly, and the anger in his eyes could hardly be suppressed: "Sister, I just can't swallow this! I have a clear conscience!"
Du Juan gently held Lin Zihuai's hand and said softly, "Zihuai, Sister An An is right. We can't be impulsive. You see, Commander Zheng has intervened, and he will definitely handle it fairly. What we need to do now is to explain the whole story clearly. I will accompany you to find the instructor in a while."
"OK!"
Chu Mingzhou walked in from outside, his military uniform neatly arranged, his eyes revealing calmness: "Wu Jiao's matter is indeed a bit strange, let's take a look at the situation first."
Lin Zihuai took a deep breath and slowly unclenched his fists: "Brother-in-law, I'll listen to you. I just feel aggrieved! I can endure any hardship and any fatigue, but I just don't want to suffer in silence."
"Okay." Lin Anan sighed softly, "I know it's not easy for you. But in this world, there are always some people with bad intentions. We can't be influenced by them. We must make our words clear, stand up straight, and walk our own way."
At this time, Lu Qingzheng hurried over, "Zihuai, follow me to the instructor's office. Captain Wu is also here."
Lin Anan nodded to Lin Zihuai, "Go ahead, the facts are what they are, go and talk about it."
"Well, I'll make things clear."
Chu Mingzhou gave Lu Qing a look and said, "It's getting late. I'll take An An back first. Thank you for taking care of this matter."
Lu Qing waved his hand casually, "Go ahead, don't worry about your sister-in-law's health, I'm here! Zihuai is my soldier, I can't just ignore him.
Moreover, this matter is a personal conduct issue at best, and a disruption of the art troupe's performance at worst. I know this clearly."
After saying that, Lu Qing took Lin Zihuai and Du Juan away.
Lin Anan was still a little worried, after all, the two sides were not of equal status.
Although Commander Zheng was in charge of the matter, the nature of the matter did not allow him to personally investigate it. At most, he would leave it to his subordinates to handle.
Captain Wu is an experienced person, and as a father, it is impossible for him not to help his daughter...
Chu Mingzhou saw through her thoughts at a glance, "Don't worry, the military has its own rules, and no one's status can override the military rules.
Wu Jiao's mischief during the performance of the art troupe has already violated military discipline. There is no room for personal feelings in this matter."
"That's good, let's go home first."
Lin Anan leaned on Chu Mingzhou's arms and walked home. The lights in the auditorium in the distance gradually went out, and only sporadic footsteps echoed in the empty courtyard.
She stroked her slightly bulging belly and sighed, "It's just a little girl's little thoughts. It's okay to have someone you like when you first fall in love. But the Wu family is too undignified. They did this once or twice... Zihuai is unlucky."
Chu Mingzhou took her to a sheltered place and said, "It's just a small matter, don't worry."
"We have to help Zihuai settle the matter as soon as possible. It's against the law to destroy a military marriage."
"Um."
In the instructor's office, the incandescent light bulbs made a slight hum.
Lin Zihuai stood upright in front of the table. The densely written words on the work notebook spread out in front of him were illuminated by the desk lamp.
Captain Wu sat upright on the sofa, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest, and he remained calm.
"Comrade Lin." The instructor pushed up his glasses and tapped the tip of his pen on the record book. "Wu Jiaojian claimed that she had expressed her feelings to you and gave you a scarf. You accepted it, which led to today's misunderstanding. What do you say?"
"Report! When our art troupe was performing, villagers occasionally sent us supplies enthusiastically, but I am sure that I never received any scarves and I don't know Wu Jiao.
I have the habit of keeping records of everything I do. Everything that comes to me is recorded. Please take a look."
Lin Zihuai took the initiative to flip through the notebook. The records on it were clear, the handwriting was strong and powerful, and it was easy to read at a glance.
Lu Qing also handed over a folder, "This is the registration certificate for all the materials used during the Henan Province charity performance. The Logistics Department and the Art Troupe will have two copies on file."
He turned to one of the pages, and the list of supplies that the art troupe had given to Lin Zihuai was circled in red. It clearly read "a quilt, half a bag of corn, a pair of cloth shoes, two sets of performance costumes..."
The instructor pushed up his glasses and checked the two records line by line.
Captain Wu's fingers tapped the armrests at an increasingly rapid pace, and the tips of his leather shoes rubbed restlessly on the floor.
The air seemed to be grasped by invisible hands, and only the ticking sound of the wall clock could be clearly heard.
"Captain Wu," the instructor suddenly closed the folder, and the sound of metal buckles clinking caused Captain Wu to look up, "The testimony provided by Wu Jiao is seriously inconsistent with the actual records."
Troupe leader Wu's brows were knitted together, and he nodded, "It's my Wu Jiao who is naughty. This time she dared to openly disrupt the order during the performance of the art troupe. She deserves to be punished!"
Seeing that he had no objection, the instructor nodded and looked at Lu Qing, "Instructor Lu, do you have any other opinions?"
Lu Qing glanced at Director Wu and raised his voice. "This incident has a great impact on our troupe and has seriously affected the personal reputation of performer Lin Zihuai. I demand that Wu Jiao publicly admit her mistake and apologize."
As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, Captain Wu was furious!
