Chapter 024: Lucky and a good match for Komori

Before Xiao Ye could say anything, a military wife outside snorted coldly, "She was just crying outside, saying that Captain Lu killed her brother! She said that Captain Lu was deliberately delaying his return to lead the team on the mission."

"Nonsense!" The captain slammed the table beside him angrily.

Xiao Ye was so frightened that she dared not utter a word, and fearing being punished, she started crying again.

"Someone else told me that my elder brother didn't have to lead the team on the mission. If my elder brother didn't go on the mission, he wouldn't be sacrificed..."

"I have evidence to support what I said about Captain Lu. I met Captain Lu and Gu Xiaoxi on the train. It's fine that the train was delayed due to landslides, but if they were in a hurry to return to the troops, why did they get off the train halfway after it was running and arrive at the troops a day later than us? Isn't this just delaying time?"

As soon as she said this, many people around her began to whisper.

"Really? I don't think Captain Lu is that kind of person..."

"But Captain Lu did return to the unit one day later than Xiao Ye and his team..."

"Don't talk nonsense, who could have foreseen that someone would be sacrificed during this mission..."

Facing everyone's discussions, Lu Jiansen seemed to be oblivious and his expression remained as cold as before.

The regiment commander looked at Xiao Ye, then at the others, "What kind of a place is the military? How can you spread rumors? Even if Captain Lu is leading the team this time, Captain Xiao still has to go on a mission. Moreover, he took the initiative to ask to lead the team this time."

"Also, Lu Jiansen got off the train temporarily. He accepted a temporary mission to capture enemy agents, and with the help of his wife, he returned to the army after successfully completing the mission. You don't know anything and just act blindly behind the scenes."

The captain said the last sentence while looking at Xiao Ye on purpose.

Xiao Ye's face turned pale. Temporary mission? Capture enemy spies?

When did it happen?

How come she didn't know?

This is something the troops said to help Lu Jiansen and his men, right?

The political commissar looked at her expression and shook his head. "Comrade Xiao Ye, your brother is a hero. Don't smear him. Such a serious fact will not be told in our army. We are very sorry and heartbroken about your brother's sacrifice, but this is no reason for you to maliciously hurt others."

Xiao Ye was panicked and scared when she saw that she had become a criminal. She gritted her teeth and said, "I heard that Captain Lu and Gu Xiaoxi had just gotten married. Why didn't Captain Lu return to the army immediately, but took the time to hold a wedding and bring Gu Xiaoxi with him? He was just stalling for time. Otherwise, it was because Gu Xiaoxi was a cunning person and had entangled Captain Lu."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent!

No one expected Xiao Ye to say this.

Just when the atmosphere was becoming tense, Gu Xiaoxi came over with the help of a nurse.

She walked up to Xiao Ye and slapped her without saying a word.

This slap shocked everyone around, even the regiment commander and the political commissar were stunned.

They never thought that this seemingly cute little girl would hit someone in front of them.

Now I am in trouble...

"You dare to hit me?" Xiao Ye covered his face, somewhat incredulous.

Gu Xiaoxi was not afraid at all, and looked at her coldly, "I understand what you mean. You want to say that your brother should not be sacrificed and my man Lu Jiansen should die. Sorry, I won't allow it!"

"I slapped you because you pushed me on purpose and caused me to get hurt. I don't want you to pay me for it. That's fair."

"Besides, on the day Lu Jiansen and I got engaged, he received an emergency mission. He had to return to the army early even though he was on vacation. We got engaged in the morning and had the wedding banquet in the evening. I followed him back to the army before dawn the next day. Isn't this taking the overall situation into consideration?"

"Also, you told people that Lu Jiansen knew that this mission would be dangerous and that people would be sacrificed, and that he deliberately delayed his return to the team. This is inducing others to think that Lu Jiansen is a bad element. Now I also have reason to suspect that your brother was brave and reckless when he went on the mission. Who stipulated that when going on a mission, the one who must be sacrificed must be the leader?"

Having said this, she paused and sneered, "Unless someone designed it this way on purpose!"

As soon as she said this, the scene fell into dead silence!

At the beginning, many people were indeed influenced by the rumors and believed that Captain Xiao was sacrificed for Captain Lu.

But now after hearing what Gu Xiaoxi said, many people have reacted.

Yes, who stipulated that the one who has to sacrifice during a mission must be the leader?

Thinking carefully about Gu Xiaoxi's last sentence, many people broke out in cold sweats.

Even the regiment commander and the political commissar felt a jolt in their hearts. They looked at each other and spoke quickly.

"This is a misunderstanding. Anyone who spreads rumors in private will be severely punished. Comrade Xiao Ye, we still have some questions to discuss with you. Please come with us."

Having said that, the captain asked someone to take Xiao Ye away.

When leaving, Political Commissar Luo patted Lu Jiansen on the shoulder and said, "Take good care of your wife, and I'll give you a day off tomorrow!"

Lu Jiansen said nothing, turned around and supported his little girl.

"Does it still hurt?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded. "It hurts! I want to go home and lie down for a while. I'm so tired!"

"I'll take you back!"

Lu Jiansen bent down and picked the person up horizontally, and strode home without fear of anyone's gaze.

Gu Dachuan was worried and followed immediately.

Many people did not sleep well this night!

…

The next day.

Kyoto Lu family.

The old man of the Lu family looked at the photo in his hand and nodded uncontrollably.

"This little girl looks very pretty and blessed. She is a perfect match for Xiao Sen!"

Mrs. Lu was also all smiles, "Mr. Mori has good taste, the daughter-in-law he picked is better than the one from the second son's family!"

Lu Jianye, the second son of the Lu family, who was sitting next to the old lady, sighed helplessly, "Grandma, you may have a crush on my eldest sister-in-law, but don't step on my wife!"

Old Lady Lu snorted coldly, "She is just better than your daughter-in-law. She is more generous and has a better vision than your daughter-in-law. If you are wronged and someone says bad things about you behind your back, do you think your daughter-in-law will speak up for you? Last time you were injured, didn't your daughter-in-law just go to the hospital to take a look at you and leave after seeing that you were not dead?"

Lu Jianye, who was hit hard, said: "..."

Lu Liansheng was also quite satisfied with the wife his eldest son had married. Thinking of what he had learned from Lao Luo in the morning, he couldn't help but sigh.

"That girl is so wronged. She got injured on her first day at the military district!"

Grandma Lu immediately responded, "Send more nutrients to Sen Xiaozi. Prepare more food, daily necessities, and tickets."

Then she looked at her daughter-in-law and said, "Mingying, it's cold over there, so buy two of the woolen coat you mentioned last time and send them over to Xiaoxi."

Wei Mingying nodded, "Okay. I'll go buy it this afternoon."

Lu Liansheng said, "No need to send it. Jianlin is going to be transferred to Qingbei Military Hospital next month, so let him leave early and take the things with him."

Wei Mingying's eyes lit up, "Yes! We can let Jianlin take it. Then I can prepare more things and not worry about losing them."

Grandma Lu was a little surprised. "Why are you being transferred to Qingbei?"
