Almost as soon as Commander Chen's wife finished speaking, Qin An Ning realized what she meant. She wanted to help clarify the matter!
A wave of gratitude welled up in her heart, and a sincere smile appeared on her face. She followed the other party's words and said, "That was a special reward from the higher-ups because I helped capture the enemy spy. I only have the right to use it, the car is not mine."
In fact, she felt that the reason why Qi Guohui agreed to her request, in addition to the reward, should also be some compensation, right?
After all, she provided them with a lot of information at that time and helped capture the traitor, so it can be said that she made an indelible contribution.
And she can't be rewarded for those things explicitly.
Otherwise, even though they captured three enemy spies and seized a car, there was no way they would agree to give her the car as a reward.
"Really, Ningning, have you ever caught an enemy spy?" Aunt Chen was really shocked this time.
Qin An Ning nodded, and seeing the expressions on their faces that wanted to hear what they wanted to hear quickly, she couldn't help but laugh.
"My dear aunts and sisters, I'm not trying to keep you in suspense, but you all know there are some things you can't say."
The whole story would take too long to explain, and if she was vague, people might think she was fooling them. It would be better for her to keep it secret from the beginning for the sake of confidentiality.
Hearing Qin An Ning say this, several people nodded. The men in their families were all soldiers and they all knew the principle of confidentiality.
"Ningning, you don't know, everyone in the compound is saying that you bought this car. They say it with details and evidence. If you don't know, you would think they saw it with their own eyes!" Aunt Zou said loudly and rolled her eyes.
Aunt Zou’s husband is the deputy division commander, working under my father. Regardless of how sincere her words were, Qin An Ning thanked her.
Qin Anning chuckled for a while before saying, "Those people gossiping don't need to think about it. Cars are all government-owned these days. How could my dad and I afford to buy a car?"
After sitting and chatting with them for a while, I only learned that this matter was being spread throughout the compound. In the final analysis, the speculation was unfavorable to the two of them.
I have no idea who spread the news.
After dinner in the evening, Qin Anning and Qin Zhen went for a walk together. They did not go towards the boulevard at first, but walked around it as if nothing had happened.
When Qin Anning encounters someone gossiping, he will lower his voice and describe where the person is standing, what he is wearing, and what he looks like.
After recognizing each other, the father and daughter slowly returned home.
"Dad, I chatted with Aunt Chen and Aunt Zou for a while this afternoon. There are many people spreading this story in the compound, and there are several versions. It's useless to just catch those who are gossiping, right?" Qin An Ning looked at Qin Zhen with a worried look on her face.
"We have to catch a few of the ones who stand out so that we can follow the clues and find out what kind of monsters are hiding behind this."
Qin Zhen had more thoughts in his mind. No matter what, he had to find out the truth of this matter.
Seeing his daughter's face almost wrinkled into a bun, Qin Zhen smiled and patted her head gently, comforting her, "Don't worry, I promise there will be results within three days."
If he can't even find out a rumor about what's happening in the compound, then he has no business holding this position.
Hearing her father say this, Qin Anning chose to believe him unconditionally, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll continue to research the medicine and try to develop a new formula as soon as possible."
Qin Zhen reminded her, "Don't do it at home, at least you have to stay in the lab most of the time.
Ningning, details determine success or failure, so never rely on luck."
Qin Anning was indeed lazy and didn't want to go to the research institute because the instruments in the space were advanced, easier and more convenient to use.
After her father finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong and laughed dryly with a guilty conscience. "I know, Dad. I'll go to the research institute tomorrow."
Qin Zhen did not investigate the matter privately because the rumor had already spread throughout the entire compound. Even if he found the culprit in private, the most the other party would do was give a perfunctory apology.
But those who don't know the truth will only think that there is something wrong between him and Ningning, and they can't meet with everyone to explain it.
The damage to them has already been done, what's the point of his meaningless apologies?
Therefore, after work, he reported the matter directly to Commander Chen without hesitation.
Qin Zhen said righteously and seriously, "Commander Chen, I don't think this is just a few rumors.
Putting aside the negative impact this incident has had on my and Ningning's reputation, it is worth investigating the purpose behind this rumor.
Ningning has been driving for a while, why are there doubts now?"
Qin Zhen stopped talking here and gave Commander Chen some time to think.
Commander Chen did follow his line of thought. Yes, Ningning had been driving in and out since the day Qin Zhen was transferred here. Why did someone only raise questions now?
Qin Zhen glanced at Commander Chen, who was lost in thought, and dropped a bombshell, "Ningning is currently negotiating with foreign companies about exporting the heart-saving pills she developed, and there may be a series of subsequent collaborations.
But rumors are spreading at this critical moment. Do you think there is someone behind the scenes trying to sabotage this cooperation?"
"What did you say? When did this happen? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"
Commander Chen lost his composure. He originally thought that Qin Zhen was just protecting his daughter and was angry that she had been wronged, so he wanted to make a big deal out of it and demand an explanation. But now after hearing what he said, he was no longer sure.
After all, earning foreign exchange through exports is a major issue related to national development. It is not impossible that some hidden enemy spies will come out to cause sabotage at this time.
Qin Zhen pursed his lips and said a little aggrievedly, "The Foreign Trade Department is currently discussing this. Ning Ning even went there for a meeting, but since the contract hadn't been signed yet, I didn't tell anyone. Who could have imagined this would happen?"
Yeah, who could have thought that this would happen!
Commander Chen thought about how he had asked Ning Ning to prepare medicine for the soldiers to treat their hidden injuries, and Ning Ning agreed without saying a word.
Now that the little girl has been wronged, regardless of whether someone wants to sabotage her or not, he has the responsibility to find out the truth and give her justice.
He waved his hand and decisively issued an order, "Investigate thoroughly immediately. Regardless of whether they are human or ghost, bring them out and investigate. I want to know what they are trying to accomplish by spreading rumors like this!"
"Yes! I guarantee to complete the task!" Qin Zhen raised his head, straightened his chest, and responded in a loud voice.
Then he gave a standard military salute, turned around, and walked out of the room with firm steps.
When Deputy Commander Ye learned that Qin Zhen was ordered to investigate the rumors, he had a bad feeling for some reason.
He found an excuse and hurried back home. When he saw Jiang Mei, he asked, "Do you have anything to do with the rumors?"
