Chapter 130 This isn't how you drive a donkey!
"Then I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget, and see if your so-called Commander Li can protect you!" Du Ruoxia said this and returned to her unit.
The group of people were stunned. They knew without even thinking where Du Ruoxia was going. She was going to a leader they never dared to approach, which was completely unconventional.
"What do we do? What do we do? She's going to find the commander!"
"Yes, this has nothing to do with us. What if it affects my husband?"
...
Everyone chimed in with their own words, looking at Lin Meifeng and Xu Yan with reproachful eyes.
Du Ruoxia ignored the people behind her and went straight to Commander Xiao's office without stopping. She had been there before, so she didn't need anyone to lead the way, and the soldiers downstairs didn't stop her either.
Commander Xiao wasn't surprised to see her arrive. He glanced up at her casually and said, "You've come!"
Du Ruoxia sat down opposite him at her desk with a calm expression, waiting for him to stop.
After staring at her for a while and not hearing her speak, Commander Xiao looked up in confusion. "What, didn't you want to see me about something?"
Du Ruoxia nodded, "I have something to do, please wait until you're done."
Commander Xiao was puzzled. There was nothing going on in Kyoto, so why did Du Ruoxia come knocking on his door?
Commander Xiao put down his pen and looked at Du Ruoxia. "You speak."
Du Ruoxia bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then spoke up, "Yang Zeyan also has competition in the army, right?"
This is the conclusion Du Ruoxia recently came to. She previously thought it was just some petty jealousy, but now it seems that it's not that simple.
"What makes you say that?" Commander Xiao didn't answer, but instead looked at Du Ruoxia with great interest.
Du Ruoxia met Commander Xiao's gaze with piercing eyes. Neither of them would back down, but in the end, Commander Xiao was at a disadvantage.
"You silly girl, why are you asking these questions instead of being a good wife? This isn't your business!" Commander Xiao complained.
Du Ruoxia shouldn't just look at him calmly, so Commander Xiao, not wanting to continue fooling her, could only cough.
"There are only so many spots on the mountaintop, so naturally the competition is fierce."
"However, even if there is competition, it will not be life-threatening."
Du Ruoxia twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Being crippled is the most suitable outcome, isn't it?"
Commander Xiao's face darkened; Du Ruoxia's words reminded him of some unpleasant memories.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We're all family, like brothers and sisters. We wouldn't do such a despicable thing!"
Du Ruoxia gave a cold laugh, "Is that so? Isn't it despicable to resort to underhanded tactics and ruin someone's future?"
Commander Xiao frowned. "What are you talking about?"
Du Ruoxia withdrew her gaze and voiced her guess, specifically relaying Xu Yan and Lin Meifeng's words verbatim to Commander Xiao.
"Outrageous! They're spouting nonsense, utterly audacious and arrogant!"
"Such words not only ruin someone's future, they can drive someone to their death!"
Du Ruoxia looked at Commander Xiao and said slowly, "Then tell me, how did they find out about my affairs in Kyoto? How did Yang Zeyan's actions get leaked so easily? If it were another mission, and someone was lying in ambush, would he still be alive?"
"Furthermore, what is the purpose of all this, and what kind of people in this unit are doing it?"
"And who ordered this?"
Du Ruoxia's question immediately changed Commander Xiao's expression. He threw down his pen and said with a dark face, "Go back first. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Du Ruoxia had achieved her goal. She didn't care whether those women were punished or how they were punished; what mattered was who was behind it all.
After leaving Commander Xiao's place, Du Ruoxia headed towards the library.
In the following days, she did not encounter any more women from the compound; they all avoided her from a distance.
Du Ruoxia smiled. These people were too easily frightened; they were like turtles after just a few words.
Du Ruoxia ignored these people; she needed to focus on making money.
On the fourth day, Du Ruoxia was having dinner with Song Hongjiao when a soldier knocked on the door.
Song Hongjiao opened the door, and the soldier saluted first.
"Sister-in-law, the division commander requests your presence!"
Du Ruoxia knew from the word "sister-in-law" that they weren't looking for Song Hongjiao; they wouldn't come to her door like this unless they were looking for her.
Du Ruoxia ate her fill slowly before leaving, while Song Hongjiao looked at her with concern, hesitant to speak.
"Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold!" Du Ruoxia urged her to start eating.
Song Hongjiao ate with a heavy heart, worried that something might happen to her.
Du Ruoxia rolled her eyes at her helplessly, "You should be worried about what might happen to them, not me!"
As soon as Du Ruoxia and the soldier left, Song Hongjiao followed them out. She saw the aunt next door sticking her head out and giving her a cold glare.
This was the first time Song Hongjiao had ever given them a hard time, and the aunt was so intimidated that she quickly closed the door.
Commander Xiao searched for Du Ruoxia several times during the day but couldn't find her. Finally, he heard the gatekeeper say that she had returned, so he went to call her.
Du Ruoxia sat down casually, and Commander Xiao thought to himself, "No wonder such a bold person isn't afraid of the Xu family."
“We have investigated what you said. It is true that the family members of Commander Li have violated regulations, and Commander Li has been punished.”
Du Ruoxia looked at him calmly, clearly not interested in what he was saying.
"Ahem, well, there's something else that's rather confidential and not suitable to tell you, but you can be careful, no one in this compound will dare to say a word against you in the future."
"Just the contributions you made in Xilan City should make them feel ashamed!"
Hearing what Commander Xiao said, Du Ruoxia guessed that this matter was too complicated for her to get involved in, but it would be good if it could make them more vigilant.
"What else do you have to say?" Commander Xiao looked at Du Ruoxia nervously, afraid that she would continue to make trouble.
Du Ruoxia lowered her eyes, "When will Yang Zeyan and the others finish?"
Commander Xiao's expression softened a bit. "They should be back in the next couple of days. They're the ones bringing up the rear."
Du Ruoxia nodded to indicate that she understood, which meant that the matter in Xilan City was now considered settled.
"I'm leaving now." Du Ruoxia stood up.
Division Commander Xiao hesitated, "Just like that?"
Du Ruoxia asked, puzzled, "What other questions are there?"
Commander Xiao scratched his head. "Um, you didn't tell the old lady about this, did you?"
Du Ruoxia smiled, pursing her lips, "What does Commander Xiao want me to say?"
Du Ruoxia left Commander Xiao's office in a good mood and went home for a good night's sleep.
The next day, Song Hongjiao knocked on her door early in the morning.
Du Ruoxia looked at her sleepily, puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Song Hongjiao, carrying a breakfast bowl, smiled broadly and announced, "Good news! Commander Li and his family have left!"
Du Ruoxia didn't even bother to lift her eyes. "Okay, I know. I'll sleep a little longer."
She has been working overtime for so many days, but Director Xin is still urging her on. Her eyes are so tired now, she's going to die suddenly if this continues!
"You can't work yourself to this extent. This isn't how you drive a donkey," Song Hongjiao said worriedly, looking at her tired face.
Du Ruoxia nodded absentmindedly and closed the door, then quickly climbed back into bed.
Unlike Song Hongjiao's methodical approach, Du Ruoxia had far more plans and naturally put in more effort than Song Hongjiao.
