Jiang Mei, who was listening to the radio, turned away guiltily. "What kind of rumors are these? What does it have to do with me? What are you talking about?"
They have been married for decades. How could Deputy Commander Ye not understand Jiang Mei? When he saw her appearance, his heart sank and he was furious.
He pointed at Jiang Mei angrily, "What on earth are you trying to do? You're in trouble, don't you know?"
Jiang Mei was not to be outdone. She stood up, hands on her hips, and asked, "What trouble have I gotten myself into? You're a deputy army commander, why are you always afraid of him, a division commander?"
"Is this a question of fear or not? The fact that Qin Zhen accepted the order to investigate the rumors shows that he has a valid reason.
You are my wife, and I must take responsibility for your mistakes. Commander Chen is about to retire, and whether I can get another promotion or not is beyond my comprehension. If this is traced back to you, I'd be lucky not to be punished!"
Deputy Commander Ye was very tired. His wife was not a bad person, but she was easily influenced. This incident must have been caused by Jiang Hong saying something to her again.
He said earnestly, "Jiang Hong's incident was an accident. You can't blame the Qin family. Can you please stop causing trouble?"
"How is it an accident? If Qin An Ning hadn't complained, Qin Zhen wouldn't have come looking for you. If Xiao Hong hadn't gone back, nothing would have happened!"
Thinking that her sister would be paralyzed for the rest of her life, Jiang Mei was overwhelmed with grief and sat on the sofa crying loudly.
"Ever since my father married a stepmother, Xiaohong and I haven't had a good day. We sisters depend on each other for survival. If I don't feel sorry for her, who else would?
My sister is paralyzed, and I just want to vent my anger, otherwise I will die of frustration."
"You're so upset!" Deputy Commander Ye angrily threw the enamel pot in his hand, "You were the ones who provoked her first. Qin Zhen told me that he just didn't want you to harass her daughter.
It was my decision to let Jiang Hong go back. She was thinking of using the meal as an excuse to plot against Qin Zhen. If I didn't let her go back, would I leave her here and wait for something to happen?
Who is Qin Zhen? He walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Do you think you can count him out with your little tricks?
You and Jiang Hong combined are not enough for others to play with, so won’t I have to clean up your mess when the time comes? "
Deputy Commander Ye's chest was heaving with anger. He really didn't expect his wife to become so stubborn.
He said sternly, "Come with me and apologize to Qin Zhen now. Make things clear as soon as possible."
Otherwise, once Qin Zhen finds out, who knows what will happen.
Jiang Mei stiffened her neck and said, "If I don't go, why should I apologize to him?
I just told the truth. I didn't say anything else. The leaders don't have cars, so why should Qin Anning have one? What's wrong with that? That's just the way it is."
She is not a fool. After being with her husband for so many years, she has learned some roundabout tactics.
Deputy Commander Ye looked at Jiang Mei suspiciously and asked, "Did you really just say that?"
Jiang Mei nodded vigorously. "Yes, it's absolutely true. There's absolutely no lie! As for what others spread later, what does it have to do with me?"
Perhaps because she had just cried too sadly, Jiang Mei was still sobbing from time to time.
Deputy Commander Ye looked at the few strands of white hair that had quietly grown on his wife's head, and thought about how his wife had taken care of his parents in their old age, given birth to his children, and taken care of the housework for so many years. She had suffered a lot in the past few years, and he felt a trace of pity in his heart, and could not bear to blame her too much.
He softened his voice and said, "Jiang Mei, I've told you many times, don't underestimate Qin Zhen. People who can reach this position are not fools. He can see through your little tricks behind your back at a glance.
If you don't want to apologize for this incident, I'll go on your behalf. Can you promise me that you won't be so stubborn in the future?
We are not young anymore, can we just stay calm and not make trouble? "
Jiang Mei lowered her head and remained silent.
Deputy Commander Ye sighed helplessly, but did not press her any further. He simply said, "Think about it carefully and see if what I said makes sense. I'm going to work now. We'll discuss this in detail when I get back tonight."
On the way, Deputy Commander Ye kept thinking about how to talk to Qin Zhen so that the incident could be properly handled.
The rumor spread too widely and had a very bad impact. Even if he were in Qin Zhen's position, he probably wouldn't let it go with just a perfunctory apology.
Although Jiang Mei didn't understand, he could figure out something. Qin An Ning must have made some outstanding contributions to be able to own that car, otherwise the higher-ups wouldn't make this exception.
This is also one of the reasons why he is unwilling to make enemies with Qin Zhen.
But before he could think of a proper solution, he received an order from Commander Zhu, asking him to go to the office.
Deputy Commander Ye did not dare to delay. He quickly straightened his military uniform, put on his military cap, and strode up the stairs.
After entering, I found that in addition to the commander, there were also Commander Chen and two unfamiliar people in the office.
"Sit down."
Commander Zhu sat there upright, his eyes deep and sharp, his voice deep and powerful, as if every word carried a heavy weight.
"These two are Comrades Lin and Qu from the Investigation Department. They received a report that Qin Zhen lives a life of luxury and pleasure, which is inconsistent with the hard-working and simple style of a soldier.
He also abused his power for personal gain, buying a car for his daughter, and accusing his wife of being the daughter of a capitalist. Comrades, you two are here to investigate. You are both Qin Zhen's direct superiors. Please share your opinions first."
The more Deputy Commander Ye listened, the more frightened he became. Could it be that Jiang Mei had reported Qin Zhen behind his back?
How confusing!
But no matter what, he had to make his position clear now, so he spoke first, saying angrily, "This is absolutely slander!
Qin Zhen's file clearly states that his wife had severed ties with her family long ago, not to mention that his wife has passed away. What's the intention behind using the identity of a deceased person to make a fuss?
In addition, since Qin Zhen was transferred to our military region, he has personally handled all kinds of work, from training and guidance plans for soldiers to decision-making and deployment.
Except for work needs, he never left the military area. He even ate in the cafeteria. He would only go home for dinner when his daughter came.
How can a comrade who works so diligently enjoy himself?"
Commander Chen glanced at him and said calmly, "Old Ye, there's no need to be angry. Since someone has reported him, we naturally need to investigate. Qin Zhen is upright and honest, so there's nothing to be afraid of. We just need to cooperate with the two comrades. I believe they will give Qin Zhen justice!"
The two comrades from the Investigation Department looked at each other and couldn't help but find it a little funny. They were singing the same tune because they were afraid that they would hastily frame Qin Zhenan?
If they really had bad intentions, why would we sit here and listen to them so calmly?
But Commander Chen is right. Since someone has reported it, they have to follow the procedure.
Comrade Lin cleared his throat and asked, "Do you know how Qin Anning got his car?"
