Chapter 186 Demotion
After the news of Huo Chunyan and Sun Baojun's upcoming marriage spread, everyone offered their blessings. At this critical juncture, the atmosphere around them was actually quite tense, so everyone was very happy that such a joyous occasion was happening.
This was their first marriage, and they were clueless about everything, so they would seek advice from Shen Zhixia. Shen Zhixia, being a transmigrator from a book, actually knew a thing or two, so she would always help them come up with ideas.
Besides that, she would also go to Zhang Weihong to listen to gossip.
Don't be fooled by her peaceful life here; a lot is actually happening inside the military camp.
It is said that enemy agents secretly entered the military camp and planted bombs. Fortunately, there were not many people in that place, so only a few people were injured. This is why Huo Chunyan went to help the soldiers treat their injuries.
Zhang Weihong said, "Damn it, we don't know where the enemy agent has gone. The military camp is conducting a thorough search, but we still haven't found him. If we do find him, we must execute him. This kind of person is a menace!"
Shen Zhixia said, "Trust the soldiers, they will definitely catch them."
Huo Chenzhou must know these things, but he never tells her, afraid of causing her panic. Actually, Huo Chenzhou is overthinking it. She has never seen anything like this. She knows that this society is not a perfect one, and she can accept quite a lot.
Zhang Weihong sighed: "Four days have passed, who knows? If we can't catch this person, I'm really afraid he'll do something extreme again."
Shen Zhixia was also somewhat helpless: "Did that person run that fast?"
These days, there's no surveillance. If there were, things would be much simpler.
Zhang Weihong said, "Isn't that right? I don't know how he got into the military camp. In order to catch him, the commander simply checked everyone, but he didn't find any suspicious people. They even checked the town and the county, but they still couldn't find him. Even if he were a god, he couldn't have run away that fast."
"This person just vanished into thin air."
"That's strange?" Shen Zhixia frowned.
Logically, if they've searched for someone so thoroughly, how could they not find them at all, unless...
Unless that person is an insider, which is why they can't find him at all, of course this is just Shen Zhixia's guess and she can't say it out loud.
Just then, she heard a commotion coming from not far away.
"Dad, are you really leaving? Will you come back after you leave this time?"
A young man looked somewhat panicked, staring at the older, middle-aged man, his voice uncertain.
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "I have to leave. Luckily you're alright. Just stay here and do your best. If there's a chance, I hope you can work hard and get promoted. I have no hope for myself anyway. I've been through thick and thin with Commander Huo. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, you can go to him, but don't bother him otherwise."
The young man said, "I'll go with you."
"Nonsense, the thing I'm most grateful for right now is that you're alright. Just stay here and don't worry about anything else."
After saying that, the middle-aged man went to pack his things.
The young man followed him inside.
Zhang Weihong said, "That's Political Commissar Wang and his son. It's a pity he was demoted this time. You don't know, do you? A lot of people were demoted in the military this time, which made everyone very uneasy. My family and your family were both thoroughly investigated, but fortunately we are both safe."
That's why they can live a peaceful life here, but it's not the same for others.
Shen Zhixia asked, "What did they do wrong?"
“At this critical juncture, many people are taking this opportunity to start reporting others. Let me tell you, you’ve been reported several times. My husband said he doesn’t know who reported you, but the goal is to make things difficult for Commander Huo,” Zhang Weihong said.
That's a really dirty trick.
Huo Chenzhou never talked to her about these things, but she felt angry when she heard them. She knew what those people were up to. They reported her to harm Huo Chenzhou. If something happened to Huo Chenzhou, then naturally someone would be able to take his place.
Human beings have always been the most wicked people.
Zhang Weihong said, "This Political Commissar Wang was reported by someone. He wrote an article in the newspaper a long time ago, and some people said it was a political mistake, so he got into trouble. Actually, I read the article and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, words are easy to be misunderstood, so you really can't write them carelessly."
“I think Political Commissar Wang is clearly loyal to the country. It’s really pitiful that he was sent to the Northwest cowshed this time. His son is already 22 years old and doesn’t look like he can take care of anything.”
Shen Zhixia recalled the young man's panicked appearance and nodded: "Perhaps after Political Commissar Wang's incident, he will be able to take responsibility."
Zhang Weihong shook her head: "Let me tell you, Political Commissar Wang is really a very good person. He saved many people when he was on the battlefield, and many people respected him. I really didn't expect him to end up like this. But his son is far inferior to him. Political Commissar Wang initially wanted to train his son well, but his son is really not good enough. Fortunately, his son listens to him very much."
"But now that Political Commissar Wang is in trouble, no one is protecting him, and it's really hard to say what will happen in the future."
Shen Zhixia nodded without speaking. Judging from Political Commissar Wang's words, Huo Chenzhou was still his comrade-in-arms, and the two seemed to still have a strong bond of camaraderie.
Sure enough, Huo Chenzhou saw Political Commissar Wang off on the day he left, his face very somber.
When she returned, Shen Zhixia asked curiously, "Are you and Political Commissar Wang on good terms? But I've noticed you two don't seem to spend much time together."
Huo Chenzhou said, "I have work-related ties with him, so I can't get too close, or I'll be targeted."
Shen Zhixia frowned and said, "I didn't expect your internal affairs to be like a palace intrigue."
But thinking about it, it's not surprising. After all, where there are people, there is struggle. If an ordinary company is like this, then it's even more so for them.
Huo Chenzhou said, "Political Commissar Wang was ousted by a bunch of his rivals. He was actually innocent. We originally wanted to help him, but his early remarks were indeed too harsh."
Shen Zhixia suddenly asked, "I heard someone reported me. Did I cause you any trouble?"
She felt that her identity must have caused Huo Chenzhou trouble. Even though she cleared her name later, there was still some trouble. After all, Huo Chenzhou was in that position, and there were definitely many people watching him.
But Huo Chenzhou simply looked at her and said gently, "No."
