"Commander Liu, please speak freely."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Liu Yuying looked at Liu Dekai with an ambiguous expression, and then spoke.
"I heard that Liu Dekai was married once before becoming Commander Mo's son-in-law..."
Mo Youyou and Liu Dekai were shocked and couldn't control their expressions for a moment.
The two were panicked.
How could Commander Liu know this?
But they dared not ask.
Liu Yuying naturally had no intention of explaining.
She would never reveal Su Yueya's identity.
"I wonder if there's any unknown connection between Liu Dekai's previous marriage and his discussion with Lu Zhengjun today?"
Mo Cheng was stunned. He looked at Liu Dekai and then at Liu Yuying.
What's going on?
"Commander Liu, I don't know where you got this incorrect information, but my son-in-law could not have been married before. His marriage report has been reviewed by the military. If this were the case, I would know it!" Mo Cheng said with a mixture of doubt and certainty.
Liu Yuying smiled and didn't reveal any more information.
Lu Zhengjun was also puzzled.
No one else should know about this.
He looked at Commander Liu and found that the other was also looking at him. After their eyes met, the other looked away, seemingly... dissatisfied with him?
But strangely, when Commander Liu spoke just now, he was clearly helping him.
Lu Zhengjun is now completely confused about what's going on.
The person who can't sit still the most is Mo Youyou.
"No way!" she exclaimed hastily, her whole being radiating unusual agitation. She began to ramble incoherently, "Dekai and I are getting married for the first time. How could he have been married before? It's impossible!"
He realized that Commander Liu was helping Lu Zhengjun and likely knew something.
Mo Youyou dared not continue.
It's a real shame we couldn't get Lu Zhengjun punished, since the punishment was practically on the line. If only we had persisted a little longer—
We can't keep going like this.
The price might be the exposure of Liu Dekai and Su Yueya's affair!
Mo Youyou absolutely did not want to see that happen.
As the daughter of a brigade commander, whom everyone envies, she would never allow herself to become the subject of gossip and a joke!
“What happened today was all a misunderstanding. Actually, Dekai’s injuries weren’t that serious. It’s just that the injury is on his face, which looks scary, right, honey?” Mo Youyou quickly pulled Liu Dekai aside.
Liu Dekai understood immediately.
"Yes, yes, yes, Lu Tuan and I were just having a normal sparring session!"
Even Liu Dekai was puzzled.
Could it be that Lu Zhengjun has connections behind her, and one of those connections is this Commander Liu?
Otherwise, why would Commander Liu help Lu Zhengjun out of the blue?
Liu Dekai was extremely unwilling, but he had no choice but to leave.
"What are you two doing?" Mo Cheng was bewildered by his daughter and son-in-law's reaction. He was about to say something more when Mo Youyou stopped him.
"Dad, it's really nothing, let's go, let's not cause trouble for the teachers!" Mo Youyou frantically winked at Mo Cheng.
Mo Cheng sensed something was wrong, so he left without pursuing the matter further.
“Since they all say it’s nothing, then the punishment is naturally off,” Commander Zhou said.
Since the parties involved have reached a "settlement," he doesn't necessarily have to punish Lu Zhengjun.
"Thank you, Commander Zhou," Lu Zhengjun bowed to the two commanders, then looked at Commander Liu again, "Thank you, Commander Liu, I'll be going now."
After Lu Zhengjun left, she kept thinking back to the way Liu Yuying looked at her and her various reactions throughout the whole process.
When he thanked her, Liu Yuying seemed indifferent and somewhat dissatisfied with him, yet the thing she did was to help him.
That's so strange...
What was Commander Liu's background again? Lu Zhengjun pondered in her mind.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him.
Commander Liu looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place which acquaintance he resembled. However, he was certain that he felt a sense of familiarity.
Only Commander Zhou and Commander Liu remained in the office.
"Commander Liu, what did you mean by what you just said?" Commander Zhou asked.
He didn't think Liu Yuying's intelligence was wrong, but he also thought that Mo Cheng wasn't so stupid as to be completely unaware that his son-in-law was a second-time bride.
"You know the inside story?"
Liu Yuying shook her head, her face displaying an inscrutable expression, and said something that sounded like she was pretending to be stupid.
"What inside information could I possibly know? I've never seen these young people before."
If Liu Yuying hadn't heard Qiao Gaoyang introduce them, she wouldn't have been able to match these three young people together at all.
“But…” Liu Yuying said meaningfully, “Scumbags always get beaten up, and it’s not unfair. Maybe that Lu Zhengjun just can’t stand seeing someone like that in the army, as it damages the reputation of soldiers!”
"Scumbag?" Commander Zhou was even more puzzled. "Commander Liu's words are implied; you might as well say it outright."
"Oh dear, what's with the hidden meaning? Where were we? Let's continue, let's continue!"
Liu Yuying quickly ended the conversation and returned to the main topic.
Lu Zhengjun's brief departure caused great concern among his soldiers.
"Commander Lu, are you alright?"
Could I really get punished just because of a single sparring match?
Who would dare to spar with me after that?
"It's alright," Lu Zhengjun smiled, patting the soldier on the shoulder, "Slacking off ends here, back to training!"
Everyone then returned to normal, and before training, they even glanced at Liu Dekai's soldiers next door.
They saw that Lu Zhengjun had returned, but Deputy Battalion Commander Liu had not yet returned, which puzzled them greatly.
"Why hasn't the deputy battalion commander returned?"
"Exactly! It's one thing not to punish the regimental commander, but are we also going to reprimand the deputy battalion commander? He was the one who was injured!"
"Not necessarily, what if he talks to his sister-in-law?"
The soldiers were talking amongst themselves.
Meanwhile, Liu Dekai, who was curious about them, was following Mo Youyou and her father Mo Cheng to Mo Cheng's office.
"Youyou, what exactly happened? Is what Commander Liu said true?" Mo Cheng asked with a serious expression.
The way he looked at Liu Dekai now carried a strong sense of dissatisfaction.
Based on his understanding of Liu Yuying, he knew she wouldn't say something baseless.
Could it really be...?
Mo Cheng glared at Liu Dekai and angrily asked, "What kind of good deeds have you done, you brat?"
Liu Dekai's heart pounded when his father-in-law yelled at him.
Mo Cheng and Mo Youyou are not the same.
Liu Dekai felt he had Mo Youyou firmly under his control, so he coaxed and lied to her, but he wasn't afraid at all.
Mo Cheng was much more shrewd than Mo Youyou, and Liu Dekai would never dare to treat Mo Cheng the way he treated Mo Youyou.
"Dad, don't rush!" Mo Youyou looked around and whispered a reminder, "Don't be so loud, what if someone hears us?"
"Let's go, let's go to your office first, and we'll talk when we get there."
Mo Youyou pulled the two men along and hurried towards the office.
Her attitude gave Mo Cheng a bad feeling, but he didn't have time to do anything and could only wait for them to confess.
