"I had no choice. If six or seven people beat me up, it would be unacceptable for me not to get hurt at all..." Qin An Ning's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was almost inaudible.
Qin An Ning finally realized that something seemed to be wrong. She reached out and secretly pulled Lu Cheng beside her, hoping that he could stand up and say a few good words for her.
However, Lu Cheng, who always obeyed her and protected her in everything, was acting out of character today. He stood aside silently, neither speaking in support nor expressing any opinion.
Qin An Ning became more and more anxious, and kept winking at Lu Cheng, his eyes almost cramping.
“Don’t blink, Dad and I have the same attitude on this matter. We are not angry about you fighting, but about you hurting yourself.
If I had known you would do this, I would definitely not have cooperated with you just now."
There was a hint of helplessness in Lu Cheng's voice, but in the end he couldn't help but soften his heart and told Qin An Ning the real reason why they were angry.
Qin An Ning lowered his head silently, reached out and scratched his hair, trying to cover the scars on his face.
Her tone seemed a little lacking in confidence. "My injury only looks serious because I applied the medicine. It's actually nothing serious. It will be healed in two days."
Qin Zhen looked at his daughter, his heart aching. He sighed deeply and said earnestly, "Ningning, you have to understand that the only thing your father wants to do now is to protect you and prevent you from suffering any grievances.
You have to believe that Dad is capable of doing this. No matter what happens in the future, don't hurt yourself easily. Promise Dad, okay?"
"Dad, I get it. Don't worry, I won't do this again." Qin Anning promised solemnly and then couldn't wait to ask, "Dad, you haven't told me why you guys came so quickly?"
Qin Zhenyan said concisely, "They were already in a meeting to discuss how to deal with the situation, and your Aunt Chen called again, so we rushed back."
Qin Anning's eyes, as bright as the stars, gleamed with the fire of gossip. "What will happen to Jiang Mei and those who spread rumors?"
Qin Zhen shook his head, "I really don't know about this. I'm the person involved and I have to avoid suspicion, so I didn't attend the meeting.
Judging from Commander Zhu's attitude just now, he won't let it go easily. Don't worry, if I'm not satisfied with the handling, I will find a way to get it back myself."
Qin Zhen did not hide his thoughts in front of his daughter and son-in-law, so as to prevent Qin An Ning from doing anything stupid again.
"What about the letters of denunciation and the big-character posters? It couldn't have been Jiang Mei's doing, right?" It was not that she looked down on Jiang Mei, but with Jiang Mei's limited ability, she couldn't have sent the letters to the Investigation Department without alerting others, unless Deputy Commander Ye helped her.
But if it was really Deputy Commander Ye who helped her, then for slandering his comrades, Deputy Commander Ye's position would probably be over. Besides, if Deputy Commander Ye was involved, he would not be so stupid as to only accuse my father of a few insignificant crimes.
Unless he doesn't take action, if he does, it will be a heavy blow. Even with the help of his two uncles, he will not be able to clear himself of the charges so easily.
Qin Zhen said with some regret, "It's not him, it's Vice Minister Wang."
This is quite a sad thing to say. Deputy Minister Wang's daughter-in-law is the second generation of the Xiaozizu family. Her identity has always been hidden very well. After marrying into Deputy Minister Wang's family, she has used her identity to obtain a lot of information and passed it out over the years. When Deputy Minister Wang found something wrong, it was too late, and he also found out that his son was involved.
Vice Minister Wang tried to do something to save the situation, but it was too late.
Qin Zhen accidentally discovered some clues and began to investigate. In order to protect his son, Deputy Minister Wang blurred the clues and pointed the spearhead at himself.
Because he had been interfering with the investigation, Qin Zhen's progress was slow, but he also knew that once Qin Zhen targeted him, it would be a matter of time before he was caught, so he planned to have his family evacuate and he would stay behind to face it.
Jiang Mei's rumor-mongering gave him an opportunity. He didn't want to harm such a strong soldier, but also wanted to save his family, so he wrote a random letter of denunciation, just wanting to detain Qin Zhen for a few more days so that his family could leave safely.
The same goes for the big-character posters, whose purpose is nothing more than to confuse the public and divert attention away from his family.
But man proposes, God disposes. No one could have imagined that people had already arrived at the train station and were just waiting to get on the train to leave safely, and they could still be caught by Qin An Ning!
Whenever he thought of this, Qin Zhen couldn't help but laugh, "You accidentally brought back Vice Minister Wang's wife and her grandchildren. It was a great help. It made our operation go much more smoothly."
When they learned that the three people had escaped, they immediately guessed Deputy Minister Wang's intention, but because his daughter-in-law had certain anti-reconnaissance capabilities, it took some time to capture the couple.
Qin An Ning raised her chin proudly and said, "What do you mean by accident? I've always been very vigilant, okay?"
"Okay, okay, it's okay that you're awesome, right?" Qin Zhen shook his head and laughed. He really had no way to deal with her.
Qin Anning really wanted to ask Vice Minister Wang how he would handle the situation, but she also knew the army's confidentiality principles. Her father would not tell her a word about anything that should not be said.
Anyway, being involved with enemy spies will not lead to any good results, not to mention that Vice Minister Wang has committed the crime of harboring a criminal.
So Qin An Ning didn't continue to ask about this matter.
Qin Zhen is back and the investigation has come to an end. Not only are there no problems, but he has also made great contributions. Qin An Ning happily prepared a table full of dishes to celebrate.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Qin An Ning, who always liked to sleep in, got up early.
Lu Cheng glanced at the time sleepily. It was only half past six. He hugged his towel and muttered, "Wife, you don't have to go to work today. What are you doing up so early?"
Qin Anning said excitedly, "You forgot, didn't we say yesterday that Jiang Mei and the others' punishments would be posted on the bulletin board today? I want to go and see it myself!"
"Then there's no need for you to come so early. The troops haven't started work yet, so they definitely won't come here to post it at this time."
Lu Cheng sat up and yawned loudly, with a strand of hair on his head standing up mischievously.
"Oh, who cares what time he comes? I can't sleep now anyway. I have to go and see Jiang Mei's expression when she knows she's been punished. I absolutely can't miss this wonderful moment!"
Thinking of Jiang Mei's petty behavior, Qin An Ning felt angry. She was clearly in the wrong, yet she still dared to spread rumors and cause trouble.
Seeing that she was in high spirits, Lu Cheng didn't want to spoil her fun, so he said, "Then wait for me for a while. I'll go with you after I finish washing up."
