Hearing the incessant cursing, Li Xingzhou finally fainted from anger.
The fierce aura on Xu Xinghe vanished instantly, and she returned to her usual charming and lovely appearance. Her cold gaze was replaced by gentleness, shining like stars.
What she wanted was for everyone to see things clearly.
Who is the fraudster?
Who is the despicable person hiding behind a mask of hypocrisy?
Now that her goal has been achieved, she no longer needs to hold onto that grudge.
Political Commissar Wang frowned in disgust as he looked at the unconscious Li Xingzhou. He waved to the soldiers beside him, "Carry him away and keep a close eye on him. Don't let him die in our military headquarters. Alright, everyone disperse. Don't gather here anymore. The patient's family can stay. I'll have someone take you home. It's so cold outside. Go home and warm up."
After saying that, he turned to Xu Xinghe, his tone instantly softening and becoming somewhat reassuring, "Comrade Xu, don't worry, I will definitely give you a fair and just explanation for this matter, and I will absolutely not let you suffer any injustice."
In reality, Political Commissar Wang knew exactly what was going on.
Xu Xinghe was likely involved in Li Xingzhou's current predicament.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that she found the soldier who was experimenting with the ointment, and subtly switched the medicine, leaving behind evidence?
Ultimately, the root of the problem lies with Li Xingzhou himself.
If he hadn't been driven by greed and malice, single-mindedly trying to steal credit from others, even at the cost of using ordinary people as scapegoats, how could he have fallen so completely?
In Political Commissar Wang's eyes, Xu Xinghe had always been a good girl with high ideological awareness and excellent character.
She did this simply to protect herself; she didn't harm anyone from beginning to end.
Just like before the old man from Xinghua Village got into trouble, she made a special effort to stop him, which shows that in her heart, the safety of the people is always the top priority, and counterattacking Li Xingzhou is secondary.
A soft laugh came from the crowd, and Lian Xiao strode over.
He had just watched the whole show from outside and was quite satisfied with it.
He had previously thought of Xu Xinghe as a gentle and quiet girl, but he never expected that such a small body could unleash such great energy, which was truly impressive.
He shared the same idea as Political Commissar Wang, and even felt it was more natural.
If someone bullies you, you should retaliate fiercely. What's wrong with that?
Walking up to Xu Xinghe, Lian Xiao gave her a thumbs up, his voice tinged with admiration, "You're pretty good, I didn't know you had this skill."
He paused for a moment, then said, "I'll send a telegram to Grandpa today and tell him everything, so that he can put his mind at ease about you."
Xu Xinghe nodded to Lian Xiao, then said solemnly to Political Commissar Wang, "Li Xingzhou has made such a mistake that he is no longer fit to be a doctor. He has impure intentions and will surely harm others again. I urge the Political Commissar to report this to higher authorities and have him leave the Heilongjiang Provincial Military Headquarters and return to Shanghai."
Once Li Xingzhou leaves, Wang Zhizhi, who relies on him in every way, will naturally be unable to stay any longer. This way, the trouble can be completely eliminated, and she will be spared from being entangled and schemed against by these two in the future.
She wasn't afraid of those two scoundrels, but there's no such thing as being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days.
Political Commissar Wang remained silent after listening, and only slowly spoke after a long while, "Comrade Xu, I understand your concerns. But this matter... I need to consult with my superiors first."
He lowered his voice to avoid being overheard by outsiders, saying, "Li Xingzhou's teacher has a very high reputation in the medical field and has made great contributions to the country. Given this relationship, I cannot make the decision directly."
Lian Xiao, with his sharp ears, heard everything clearly. He chuckled and said casually, "This is nothing. Before, I couldn't do anything because Li Xingzhou hadn't made a mistake. Now that he has, I can use this as an excuse to get Grandpa to say a word, and I guarantee I can get rid of him!"
Xu Xinghe's brows relaxed. She didn't really want to trouble Grandpa Lian, but when she thought of the previous spy incident and what Wang Zhizhi and the other person had done, her hesitation vanished.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you." I'll consider this another favor owed to Grandpa Lian, and I'll definitely repay him properly when I have the chance in the future!
After listening, Political Commissar Wang nodded in agreement. This was a good idea; it saved him from having to deal with the problem under pressure, which might not even work out, and it could truly solve the problem. It was a win-win solution.
However, he still felt very guilty for making Xu Xinghe suffer.
"Comrade Xu, I'm sorry you had to go through this. I will send another telegram to the higher authorities to explain the situation regarding the frostbite cream and apply for more benefits for you. We can't let good people feel disheartened."
Xu Xinghe understood his difficulties; Political Commissar Wang had already done a great job to this extent.
At least, he was on my side and never coveted any credit.
Justice.
A sense of tranquility.
That's what she wants most right now.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the military gate returned to its usual tranquility.
Political Commissar Wang had a lot of official business to attend to, so he gave a few instructions and left in a hurry.
Lian Xiao accompanied Xu Xinghe to the courtyard. Seeing that she didn't say much along the way, he assumed she was still holding back her anger.
Anyone would be upset if they encountered such a terrible situation.
Whether I get angry or not is secondary; the main thing is that I feel annoyed.
Lian Xiao suddenly stopped, took out two movie tickets from his pocket, and held the thin pieces of paper between his well-defined fingers, looking somewhat uneasy.
His usually arrogant features softened, and a deliberately feigned nonchalance played at the corners of his mouth. "The snowstorm has subsided, and there's a movie showing in town tonight. Tickets are half price. My friend gave me two tickets. Want to go together?"
He bought the ticket on a whim when he went to town to pick up a package.
He doesn't have any friends in Heilongjiang Province. The only one he's close to is right in front of him.
Before Xu Xinghe could respond, a tall figure loomed over her, his voice deep and slightly breathless, "What a coincidence, I have one here too. How about the three of us go together?"
It's Jiang Linchuan!
He didn't come earlier or later, but he had to come at this exact moment!
Lian Xiao's gentle expression vanished instantly, replaced by an unfriendly tone, "What's it to you if I ask Xu Xinghe to go see her? Does having a fiancé mean she can't even make friends? You're really petty!"
He glanced at Jiang Linchuan from head to toe and sneered, "Also, you were nowhere to be seen when Li Xingzhou was making the biggest fuss, but now that it's over, you've suddenly appeared. If you ask me, a man like you is completely unreliable, what's the point of keeping him around? Xu Xinghe, just break off the engagement with him, he's not good enough for you and can't give you a good life."
Jiang Linchuan's lips pressed into a cold, hard line, and he explained to Xu Xinghe in a hoarse voice, "I didn't mean to not come. I went to other villages early this morning to direct disaster relief. When I heard about the incident at the military headquarters, I rushed back immediately."
But it was still too late...
