"Comrade Luo Li, what do you want me to say?" Lan Yuchu's expression was a little serious. She took a few steps back and frowned, saying, "If you continue to bother me, I will report this issue to your superiors."
"Why? Why?" Luo Li didn't understand. She took a step closer and questioned, "The whole military region knows I like you, everyone in the cultural troupe knows I love you. You saved me, and I'm giving myself to you. I can wait for you to get a divorce, but why did you bring your child bride to the army? Are you slapping me in the face?"
Luo Li's words caused Lan Yuchu's expression to change repeatedly.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Ding Wen was very serious, almost murderous.
Ding Wen whispered a reminder from the side: "She's not a child bride, she's a childhood sweetheart, she's Battalion Commander Lan's wife."
Upon hearing this, Luo Li became even more heartbroken and said, "My whole family knows you. I like you so much. It was only because I knew you were here that I used my connections to transfer here. Lan Yuchu, do you understand my intentions towards you? Why did you bring your child bride here? I am a college student with an urban household registration, while she is just a country girl."
"Comrade Luo Li, please watch your words. First of all, I am very grateful for your affection, but I have made it clear that I am already married, so please stop bothering me. Also, if you continue to bother me like this, I will immediately report it to my superiors and your leader. My wife is not some country bumpkin; she has a name, Lin Qiyue."
He was furious that they were slandering his wife.
"Lan Yuchu!" Luo Li shouted his name very loudly.
This attracted a lot of attention.
At the same time, Wu Songgui, the regimental commander and Lan Yuchu's superior, came over, along with Political Commissar Zheng Yuanchao.
"What's going on?" Zheng Yuanchao asked, looking at the commotion and the loud noise. "Don't you know it's not allowed to make loud noises in public places?"
Lan Yuchu saluted the regimental commander and political commissar, then explained, "Regimental commander, political commissar. I just called my family to go home, and Comrade Luo Li suddenly blocked my way and said some unrealistic things that offended my wife. Perhaps some of my actions caused her to misunderstand, and I am now trying to clear up the misunderstanding."
“Yes, yes, it’s just some personal matters,” Ding Wen quickly chimed in.
As Luo Li watched their leader approach, she cried and said, "Commander Wu, Political Commissar, you must uphold justice for me! He clearly said before that he was going back to visit his family this time to divorce his childhood sweetheart, but he actually brought his childhood sweetheart with him to accompany the army. He's just trying to embarrass me."
Wu Songgui: "..."
Zheng Yuanchao: "..."
Lan Yuchu couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Reporting to the regimental commander and political commissar, I have never said such a thing. My wife and I are childhood sweethearts and have been married for three years. She has never mentioned being a child bride or wanting a divorce."
Ding Wen immediately explained, "Report, I only told everyone about the child bride because I misunderstood Battalion Commander Lan. I also bear responsibility for this."
Wu Songgui and Zheng Yuanchao exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly.
"Comrade Luo Li, have you been feeling unwell lately? How about I talk to your director and ask you to go home to visit your family and rest for a while?" Zheng Yuanchao made a direct and subtle suggestion, which could also be considered a warning to her.
Luo Li shook her head, crying, "I'm in good spirits, I don't need a leave. I beg the regimental commander and political commissar to stand up for me!"
Even Wu Songgui, a rough man, couldn't help but curse inwardly after hearing her words.
Zheng Yuanchao pursed her lips. How could a girl be so shameless?
They had already learned about Lan Yuchu's problem before.
A month ago, she had a fight with Chen Yaqin, all because of Lan Yuchu.
Lan Yuchu had already explained this matter to them.
Luo Li was someone Lan Yuchu discovered on her way back after completing a secret mission. She found a group of human traffickers who were selling girls to remote areas to be wives to old bachelors.
So he and his comrades successfully rescued the girls.
Luo Li was one of the hostages. Her parents were well-connected. In order to repay their debt of gratitude, they not only thoroughly investigated Lan Yuchu's background, but also contacted Lan Yuchu's former unit multiple times and frequently sent letters to him.
Luo Li's parents used their connections to visit Lan Yuchu at his former military unit.
In order not to compromise the secrecy of his original unit, he was forced to transfer to a regular unit.
Not only did he try to stay far away, but he also became a member of the cultural troupe and tracked them down here.
He had previously spoken rudely to the family of a martyr, which led to a physical fight between the two and almost ruined Lan Yuchu's military career.
"This matter will be resolved, Comrade Luo Li. Go back and wait for news," Zheng Yuanchao said to Luo Li with a smile.
Luo Li stopped crying and looked at Zheng Yuanchao with some disbelief, asking, "Really?"
"Yes, really, let's go back first."
Having received an affirmative answer, Luo Li glanced at Lan Yuchu one last time before leaving.
After she left, Wu Songgui sighed and said, "Yu Chu, I'm sorry to have wronged you!"
"She's a girl, so it's not really appropriate for us to say anything. We'll have the leaders of the performing arts troupe talk to her properly. You go back and wait for news. As for Ding Wen's behavior, you're his direct superior, so what do you plan to do?"
Zheng Yuanchao glanced at Ding Wen and then left the problem to Lan Yuchu to solve.
Lan Yuchu looked at Wu Songgui.
“You’re the battalion commander, you handle this,” Wu Songgui said.
The moment Lan Yuchu glanced at Ding Wen, he already had a bad feeling.
