Chapter 186 Slapping Her
"Yes! They should be tied up and locked up!"
Sun Yuling continued from where Captain Lu left off, but halfway through her sentence she realized something was wrong!
"Wait, sir, who did you just say you locked up? Did I hear that right? As a military leader, how can you protect your subordinate like this and bully us ordinary people with her!"
Sun Yuling looked around and tried to incite the crowd, saying, "Don't you all agree?"
"..."
The onlookers, observing the soldiers' sidearms, all remained silent.
But then Captain Lu chuckled softly.
“If Wen Ni really did something wrong and I covered for her, then no matter what you say, I'm in the wrong. But she clearly didn't do anything wrong, so how can you say I covered for her?”
"How can she not have done anything wrong!? She was clearly abusing her power, she..."
"I didn't see her abusing her power." Captain Lu's smile vanished instantly, his expression changing sternly. "All I saw was your aggressive behavior! Disregarding kinship, you're like two vampires, insatiably greedy!"
"I...we..."
Such an imposing aura startled Wen Yuanshan and his companion, causing them to tremble and shrink back a step.
They couldn't utter a complete sentence; they could only listen to Lu Zhenbang's voice, filled with suppressed anger, echoing around them!
“Every month, the military allows time to call home. While others happily share their stories with their parents and sisters, Wen Ni sits alone in her dormitory, wiping her deceased mother’s photo over and over again.”
“During holidays, everyone else receives clothes and homemade food from their parents and relatives, but Wen Ni receives nothing!”
"Before carrying out a dangerous mission, a will must be written. Wen Ni's only recipient was Wen Cheng. She wouldn't spend a single penny of her allowance, sending it all home just to pay for Wen Cheng's schooling." At this point, Captain Lu became emotional, pointing at Wen Yuanshan's nose, "But what about you? What did you do with it!?"
As he spoke, Captain Lu's cold gaze swept over Sun Yuling. "He forced Wen Cheng to drop out of school, gave all his money to this woman, bought her gold and silver jewelry, nutritional supplements, and then comfortably conceived a new life?"
"You've done such a despicable thing, and you still have the nerve to stand here and throw mud at others! I've never seen such shameless people!"
Captain Lu gave the couple a thorough dressing-down.
The crowd of onlookers became increasingly agitated.
"That's outrageous! What kind of parents do that?"
"Shameless! Bah!"
"How dare you throw a tantrum here? Your skin is thicker than the city wall!"
The overwhelming accusations from others made Wen Yuanshan feel ashamed. He muttered guiltily, "She dropped out of school and joined the army without saying a word. I had no idea! Besides, I didn't know that money was her allowance..."
"Have you forgotten why I dropped out of school and left home?" Wen Ni suddenly questioned.
The look in her eyes when she looked at Wen Yuanshan was utterly unfamiliar!
“At that time, my mother had just passed away, you were doing nothing, and the family couldn’t afford to support two students. I took the initiative to drop out of school and give the opportunity to Wen Cheng.”
"But the day after I dropped out of school, you found a matchmaker and were in a hurry to marry me off. I hadn't even turned eighteen yet!"
"Just because you said that a girl who doesn't go to school is just wasting her time at home, and it's better to exchange her for some money to make the family better off!"
"Thanks to your words, I'm determined to prove that I'm no less capable than anyone else! I will rely on myself to create my own world!"
Wen Ni's eyes were red with tears as she spoke bitterly!
But she quickly calmed herself down, clenched her fist and pounded it on her chest, saying, "I did it."
"And what about you?"
"You are still turtles hiding in their shells, frogs squatting at the bottom of a well, ignorant and backward, doing things your own way, short-sighted!"
With each word Wen Ni uttered, Wen Yuanshan lowered his head further and further until he dared not look up and meet her gaze!
Only Sun Yuling held her head high, still unconvinced.
"I am saying all this not because I want to gain any remorse from you, nor have I ever expected a sincere apology from you!"
As Wen Ni spoke, her cold gaze swept over Sun Yuling.
"I want to take this opportunity to make things clearer, so that others won't see what I've done and think I'm heartless and cruel!"
After saying that, she turned to the side and coldly raised her hand!
"Send a few soldiers to arrest all those who are causing trouble and take them to the town police station!"
"Police station!?"
Sun Yuling then realized, "You're going to lock us up!?"
"Wen Ni, Wen Ni, I really underestimated you! What underhanded methods did you use to get your boss to protect you so much, letting you do whatever you want? You've got quite the power..."
"Smack!"
A resounding slap landed on Sun Yuling's right cheek!
The slap made Sun Yuling's vision go black, and she almost lost her balance.
Bright red blood trickled from the corner of her lips. She looked up in disbelief. "You...you hit me?"
"Verbal abuse! Spreading rumors! I'll beat you up!"
Wen Ni's expression was cold as she shook her hand, which had gone numb from the shock!
Sun Yuling was furious and wanted to continue her tantrum.
Wen Yuanshan, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his hand and slapped Sun Yuling across the face!
"Are you going to keep causing trouble? How much trouble would be enough?!"
"I...I caused trouble?" Sun Yuling was completely dumbfounded.
Then Wen Yuanshan gritted his teeth and actually knelt down in front of Wen Ni in public!
Wen Ni stood still, her brows slowly furrowing.
“Wen Ni, I know you hate me, and I know I’ve done a lot of stupid things, and you won’t forgive me! But your brother is innocent!” Wen Yuanshan burst into tears. “Your brother is not even a year old. He needs his mother to take care of him. If you’re going to lock him up, lock me up and let Yuling go back to take care of the child!”
"younger brother?"
“I only have one younger brother, his name is Wen Cheng.”
Wen Ni coldly tossed out a sentence and raised her hand again.
The soldiers understood immediately, grabbed Wen Yuanshan and the other man, and pushed them toward the car!
Wen Yuanshan's crying and Sun Yuling's cursing faded into the distance as the car drove further and further away until they could no longer be heard.
Wen Ni remained unmoved.
Captain Lu looked at Wen Ni thoughtfully for a while before turning around and ordering, "Everyone else, disperse! Third team, all members, continue to follow Captain Wen's orders!"
"yes!"
Having just arrived, they had many tasks to complete and no time to linger.
Wen Ni turned around gracefully, her hair flowing in a beautiful arc against the backdrop of the clouds on the horizon!
There have been occasional aftershocks in the three days since the army moved into Fenghuang Town, but they haven't had much impact on people's lives. The weather is just getting colder, with intermittent autumn rain.
Under the night
Inside the tents in the earthquake safety zone, twinkling lights shone.
Amidst the pattering rain, the cries of a child echoed through the air...
Wow! Wow! Wow!
"Oh dear, the Wen family couple, and my husband, have been locked up for several days now. Why haven't they been released yet?"
Liu, the wife of Wang Zhongshan who helps Wen Yuanshan take care of his child, is talking to herself with a worried expression.
She turned around, opened the milk powder cap, and was about to make milk powder when she scooped up a spoonful but couldn't scoop up a single grain of milk powder!
"Oh no, we're all out of formula! Oh dear! Where am I supposed to get more formula at a time like this?!"
