"Leader." Zhou Jinglan looked at the leader.
Now it's time for him to demand an explanation; he won't let this go today.
If everything had stopped at the accident during the day, Zhou Jinglan might not have sought revenge against Leng Yinghong.
He just wanted this matter to pass.
But now that they've made a scene at the military base and pinned such a huge smear on him, if he just lets it go, wouldn't he be too easy to bully?
Besides, if Leng Yinghong isn't eliminated, who knows if she'll reappear and cause trouble for him, affecting his pursuit of the Little Goddess?
Zhou Jinglan could tolerate other things and didn't care.
But as long as Qiao Xinruo is involved, it means that his bottom line has been crossed, his Achilles' heel.
There's no way you could just let it go.
“Sir, Leng Yinghong’s actions constitute malicious slander against soldiers and tarnish their image. Moreover, she is malicious and her actions are intolerable. She should be arrested and made to pay the price,” Zhou Jinglan said.
This move to prove himself just now made the leader appreciate Zhou Jinglan even more, and he felt that Zhou Jinglan was a rare talent.
They are both courageous and resourceful in the face of difficult emergencies.
"Take him away and take him to a military court. Deal with him however you see fit!" the leader said.
This matter is extremely serious and should be dealt with seriously.
Military court?
Leng Yinghong instantly broke down. That was even more terrifying than reporting it to the police. If she ended up in a military court, she wouldn't be able to get out without suffering a severe beating.
"I was wrong!" Leng Yinghong was unwilling to be taken away and was still making a last-ditch effort.
"It was my fault, leader. I'm sorry, Zhou Jinglan. I'm so sorry. I was out of my mind. Please forgive me. Just pretend this never happened. I'll leave. I'll leave right now. I'll never show up again. Please!"
Leng Yinghong crawled to Zhou Jinglan's feet, grabbed his trouser leg, and pleaded for her life.
"Jinglan, no matter what, we at least had a good time together. Do you really want to destroy me? Please, please let me go. It hasn't affected you at all, has it? Please, don't hold a grudge, just let me go..."
Her words were like adding fuel to the fire.
Zhou Jinglan stretched out his leg and shook off Leng Yinghong.
"Shut up! You disgust me! Leng Yinghong, we've never had a good relationship. You deceived me from beginning to end. You impersonated someone else and swindled money from me. The police have already investigated and found out. You've even been to jail. You just don't learn your lesson!"
"I admit it was my own stupidity that led me to be deceived by you. I didn't want to hold it against you, but you kept courting death. If I didn't grant your wish, wouldn't I be too heartless?"
"Everything you've done today is your own fault, you have no one else to blame."
Zhou Jinglan wanted to slap himself. No wonder Qiao Xinruo was angry because he mistook Leng Yinghong for him.
How could such a shameless person have once regarded her as a little goddess?
This is the greatest insult to Qiao Xinruo!
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, Zhou Jinglan, please let me go, do you want me to die?" Leng Yinghong cried out in despair. She had only been out for a short time and really didn't want to go back in.
"I'd force you to die? Ridiculous! If I had reacted even a fraction slower today and you had pinned this on me, what would my lost reputation and innocence have mattered? What are you pretending to be pitiful for now?"
No matter how pitiful Leng Yinghong pretends, Zhou Jinglan will never soften his heart.
Leaders, in particular, must deal with such egregious incidents with utmost seriousness.
"Take them away!" the leader slammed his fist on the table, speaking angrily.
What happened today was a complete joke.
It's laughable that such a large unit of theirs was completely outmaneuvered by a mere convict!
"Zhou Jinglan, it's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up." The leader patted Zhou Jinglan on the shoulder to reassure him. "Don't worry, this matter won't affect you in any way, and that Leng Yinghong won't have another chance to cause you trouble!"
"Thank you, leader," Zhou Jinglan said.
He finally averted the crisis, proved his innocence, and saved his future.
Zhou Jinglan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two soldiers took Leng Yinghong away and handed her over to the military court, while the other soldiers came forward to comfort Zhou Jinglan.
"Battalion Commander Zhou, we're really sorry to have wronged you. We were almost deceived by that Leng Yinghong just now. The key is that she spoke so convincingly. Who would have thought she was so shameless!"
"Absolutely! Their hearts are blacker than the bottom of a pot. They actually disregard their own reputation and use such things to spread rumors about you. They're utterly despicable!"
The reason why everyone initially misunderstood was precisely because innocence is very important, especially for unmarried women. So when Leng Yinghong said that she had a relationship with Zhou Jinglan, no one doubted the truth of her words at all.
After all, who would have thought that Leng Yinghong would risk her own reputation to slander Zhou Jinglan?
"But thankfully, this damn liar isn't very bright. You tricked her out of it with just a few words. She deserves it!"
"This kind of person doesn't deserve any sympathy at all. If Battalion Commander Zhou had reacted a little slower today and she had succeeded, he would not only have had to grit his teeth and endure the disgust to marry her, but he would also have to jeopardize his future for the rest of his life. That would be absolutely suffocating!"
"Yes, she deserves it. Let the military court give her a severe sentence. What kind of person is she, slandering and defaming our soldiers? Bah!"
Everyone was indignant and felt wronged for Zhou Jinglan.
But he himself felt fine.
After all, the matter is resolved.
As long as the result is good and it didn't cause too much of a problem...
wrong!
How can you say there was no impact? This matter has even reached neighboring units, and since Lu Haibin and Yuan Zhengkang were able to hear about it, it means that quite a few other people know about it.
No secrets stay hidden forever. Who knows if the neighboring troops already know? Once it gets back to Qiao Xinruo, it's only a matter of time before it reaches her ears.
Zhou Jinglan didn't care much about what others thought of him. After all, the innocent have nothing to fear, and now that the leaders knew the truth, it wouldn't affect his future.
However, he cared a great deal about how Qiao Xinruo viewed him, and it also affected the outcome of his pursuit of Qiao Xinruo, so he absolutely could not ignore it.
If Qiao Xinruo hears about this from someone else, she might question him about it later.
No, what's even more terrifying is that when Qiao Xinruo heard about this, she got angry and didn't even bother to question him. He didn't even have a chance to explain and was directly sentenced to death by Qiao Xinruo. That's more unjust than Dou E!
Right now, only his own unit knows he's innocent; neighboring units don't know the details, they've only heard the first part...
Danger!
