There were other colleagues in the office at that moment. When they heard the knocking, the one who was closest to them got up to open the door.
Seeing several unfamiliar men in green military uniforms standing outside the door, the man frowned and asked in surprise.
Who are you looking for?
"Is Comrade Su Guoxing here?"
"Yes, yes."
As he spoke, the man stepped aside and pointed to Su's father, "This is him."
Upon hearing that the other party had come to see him, Mr. Su's heart skipped a beat.
But at this moment, he could only pretend to be calm.
"I am Su Guoxing, and you are..."
"We are from the Beijing Military Region. We have a few things we'd like you to investigate."
He said "please," but the words had barely left his mouth when...
Without saying a word, the other party took out a pair of handcuffs and handcuffed Su's father.
This sudden scene startled everyone in the office.
Even the usually shrewd and calculating Mr. Su panicked at this moment, and he exclaimed in shock.
"Comrades, what are you doing? What crime have I committed that you are treating me like this!"
Other colleagues also had their doubts upon seeing this, but after all, they were from the same department.
After a moment's hesitation, everyone mustered their courage and stepped forward to chime in.
"Comrade soldier, is there some misunderstanding here?"
"Yes, Officer Su has worked diligently in the municipal government for more than ten years. If you want to investigate, just have him go with you. Why do it like this..." It's insulting.
"Exactly! They came up and handcuffed the person without saying a word. Anyone who didn't know better would think that military personnel can do whatever they want in Beijing now!"
The one who said this was Yan Liang, Su's father's old partner. There was a reason why Yan Liang stepped forward at this time.
In his view, so what if Lao Su made a small mistake?
These people are still too young.
Before they came, they didn't even bother to find out who Old Su's in-laws were. They just came here to arrest people without any knowledge of the situation. They'll be crying later!
So he stepped forward, patted Su's father on the shoulder, and said loudly, "Old Su, don't worry! When you meet your in-laws later, you must have a good talk with them."
"These people nowadays! They have no manners at all."
“We are a municipal government department, after all. How can they do things like this?”
After Yan Liang's reminder, Su's father gradually came to his senses.
At this point, he had no other choice but to seek help from his in-laws.
"Comrade, could you please give me a few minutes? I'd like to make a contact..."
However, the soldier in charge of the arrest operation interrupted him sharply at that moment.
"Comrade Su, your daughter has maliciously framed a revolutionary soldier and falsely accused his family. The evidence against her is irrefutable!"
"Instead of learning from this lesson, you repeatedly made reports and deliberately spread rumors, attempting to incite the public to slander military families."
"Do you realize that your actions have severely damaged the unity between the military and the people?"
"Also, the case is currently under investigation. What are you trying to do by contacting others at this time?"
"Are you trying to implicate others, or are you trying to corrupt the revolutionary ranks through bourgeois means?"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere instantly turned icy, and everyone's expressions towards Su's father became complicated.
It's just that Su's father usually hid it too well.
They simply couldn't reconcile the honest, unassuming man in front of them, who always wore a smiling face, with the crimes the soldiers had described.
However, despite the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd, Su's father maintained a gloomy expression throughout.
At this point, he no longer cared about whether he was losing face.
The crimes they just mentioned, if picked out individually, would all warrant several years in prison.
Fortunately, none of those reports were made by him personally.
Moreover, those phone calls didn't last long, so tracing them wouldn't be an easy task.
After understanding all this, Mr. Su said with a somber expression, "Comrade, you misunderstand. I just wanted to contact my family. As for those tip-off phone numbers you mentioned, I really don't know anything about them."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the people in the office."
"I spent the whole morning in the office, and I also ate lunch at the company cafeteria."
"Whether I made a report or not can be easily found out with a simple investigation!"
At this point, Mr. Su sighed, "It's my fault for not educating my daughter well, but to say that I would maliciously report someone over this matter is to seriously underestimate me."
Su's father's words were reasonable and well-founded, and his tone and expression were also very appropriate.
But no matter how much he tried to argue, it was no use. Since the military region had sent people, they certainly wouldn't come empty-handed.
They originally just wanted to quietly handcuff and take the person away, but they didn't expect Su's father to make such a fuss.
Since that's the case, they have nothing to hide.
In front of everyone, the soldier revealed the details of those people, including the time, the post office, what they said on the phone, and their relationship with Su's father.
Of course, the reason they were able to investigate so quickly was not only because the military region had its own communication system, but also because Huo Tingzhou's side contributed a lot.
He was unaware of the Su family's situation.
But Mrs. Huo understood!
It was quite a coincidence that Huo's mother called Huo Tingzhou as soon as she arrived in Jiangxi Province.
When they learned that their beloved daughter-in-law had been reported, and that it was very likely the Su family who had done it.
Mother Huo immediately cursed the Su family's ancestors for eight generations in her mind.
After that, she carefully listed out all of Su's relatives.
