Chapter 229 2000-word apology letter, posted on the bulletin board

Because I promised Xia Qingxi before I left that she would not let anyone criticize her for the past when she came to the army, so as soon as I returned to the army, Lu Jingjing asked the guards to call Mai Yajun to see him.

This matter was spread by Mai Yajun, and the source was with him, so naturally he had to clarify it, which would be more convincing and credible.

But at that time, Mai Yajun was sent out and had not returned yet. Later, I went to another camp to be an instructor, so this matter was delayed.

But he didn't expect that when he just came back, he heard someone came to humiliate Xia Qingli with this matter. He angrily rebuked the gossiper, but he also knew that it was because he didn't deal with it in time that people had something to say.

Although he was very tired and sleepy now, he didn't want her to be slandered and attacked again, so he didn't rest, but got up and went back to the battalion headquarters, and asked Xiang Qianjin to find Mai Yajun who had returned to the army immediately.

Lu Jingzhen sat at the table with a cold face. Ten minutes later, Xiang Qianjin brought Mai Yajun over.

"Captain, Mai Yajun has been brought here." Xiang Qianjin walked into the battalion headquarters, followed by a man in camouflage uniforms. The man was about 1.72 meters tall, with ordinary looks, a high hairline, and a big forehead.

"Hello, Commander. I am here to report to the 702nd Company, Mai Yajun." Mai Yajun stood straight, saluted Lu Jingzhen, and spoke in a loud voice.

Lu Jingzhen waved his hand, motioning Xiang Qianjin to go out first. After Xiang Qianjin went out, Lu Jingzhen looked at Mai Yajun and asked with a serious face:

"Do you know why I asked you to come here today?"

"Commander, I don't know." Mai Yajun's voice was still loud, and he looked at Lu Jingzhen with some curiosity.

"I asked you to come here today because of the false rumors about me and my wife that were spread in the army." Lu Jingzhen didn't waste time and said directly.

After hearing what Lu Jingchen said, Mai Yajun looked even more confused. He wondered why Brother Jingchen suddenly told him this, and he was even more confused as to why he used the term "my wife" to refer to the woman who had plotted against him.

Just when he was feeling unbelievable, he heard Lu Jingchen's angry voice again:

"Since you were the one who spread those rumors, now it is your responsibility to calm them down for me."

Mai Yajun was a little flustered when he heard this. He had said it two years ago, and now almost everyone knew it. How could he calm it down? Moreover, what he said was not a rumor. He blurted out:

"Brother Jingchen, how... should I calm it down?"

Lu Jingchen frowned, his eyes were a little cold, and said in a deep voice:

"You didn't ask me when you were spreading my private affairs everywhere, but now you are asked to calm it down?"

Wang Mingfang and his team did a very realistic job of telling the truth, and even they were deceived. But even if they were really tricked, Mai Yajun, as an outsider, spread the matter in the army without any scruples, which was also disrespectful to himself.

"No, Brother Jingchen, I didn't mean to spread your private affairs. I was just so angry and felt sorry for you that I told the truth. And I only said it once, and I didn't expect that everyone would know it."

Mai Yajun spoke, his voice gradually became smaller, and he felt very sorry for Lu Jingchen.

At that time, Lu Jingzhen submitted a marriage application report in the army. Everyone was praising his wife, saying that she must be a beautiful, good-natured, and excellent woman.

Mai Yajun, who knew the "truth", was of course very angry. How could that ugly, country-born woman with bad intentions be praised as a fairy by others?

One day, when he heard others praising Xia Qingxi again, he couldn't help but told everyone everything he knew. What he didn't expect was that this matter would spread so quickly and so widely. Everyone knew it within a few days.

"The truth?" Lu Jingchen frowned even more tightly and asked back: "Do you know what the truth is?" Lu Jingchen's eyes were cold as he continued:

"Come out with me." After that, Lu Jingchen walked out.

Mai Yajun was very confused. Although he didn't know where the captain was going to take him, he immediately followed him out.

After a while, the two walked to the telephone booth. Lu Jingchen paid the money, dialed the number, and then said a few words to the phone and hung up quickly.

Although Mai Yajun was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask anything and stood upright.

After standing there for about ten minutes, Lu Jingchen called again. A woman's voice came from the receiver. Lu Jingchen talked to the person on the other end of the phone for a few words, and finally said:

"You go and tell him the truth of that year."

After saying this, he handed the receiver to Mai Yajun. Mai Yajun took the phone in confusion, and after a moment, Mai Miao's voice came from inside:

"Brother, it's me. I called you a few days ago. Your comrades said you were on a mission. Later, I was busy with the wedding. I was thinking of calling you these two days to tell you about the matter."

Before Xia Qingxi came to join the army, she knew that her reputation in the army was already bad, so when she left, she specifically asked Mai Miao to tell her brother Mai Yajun the truth of that year, thinking that if he could help clarify it, it would be more credible than if she said it herself. After

listening to Xia Qingxi's words, Mai Miao knew what her brother said in the army, and she felt very sorry. If she had known it earlier, she would have called her brother to tell the truth without Xia Qingxi's reminder, and asked her brother to help Xia Qingxi clarify and restore her innocence.

On the other end of the phone, Mai Miaozi told Mai Yajun the truth of the matter in detail, including how Lu Lidong and his mother planned, how they drugged Xia Qingli, how they put her on Lu Jingchen's bed, and how they called someone to "catch the adulterer" afterwards.

In the end, he also told them how they were arrested and sentenced.

The more Mai Yajun listened, the more surprised and angry he became. When he hung up the phone, he clenched his fists. If Lu Lidong was in front of him now, he would beat him up without mercy.

"Brother Jingchen..." After answering the phone, Mai Yajun lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Jingchen, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

"You shouldn't say 'I'm sorry' to me." Lu Jingchen looked at Mai Yajun and said calmly.

"Yes, I know, I will definitely apologize to Comrade Xia Qingli in person." Mai Yajun said quickly.

"Of course I have to apologize." Lu Jingchen's expression softened a little and said:

"But because of your inappropriate remarks, people in the army now have a big misunderstanding of her, and even use these things to slander and humiliate her. I cannot allow this, so you must help her restore her reputation."

Mai Yajun knew that he was indeed wrong about this matter. After knowing that he had wrongly blamed Xia Qingqing all these years, he felt guilty. He was wondering how to help her restore her reputation when he heard Captain Lu next to him say:

"Tonight, you write a 2,000-word apology letter and hand it to me early tomorrow morning. After I finish it, you can post it on the bulletin board of the family compound."

"2,000 words!" Mai Yajun's eyes widened. For someone who couldn't write since childhood, 2,000 words was simply asking for his life. He thought that the captain might as well punish himself by running 200 laps with a weight.

"Why, you think it's too little?" Lu looked at him in surprise and cold eyes: "Then add another thousand!"

"Not a small amount, not a small amount." Mai Yajun shook his head quickly. He didn't want to write another thousand.

"Use a brush to write, and write in larger characters." Lu Jingchen ordered, and then he looked at Mai Yajun and asked:

"Do you have any objection to the treatment of me?"

"Report to the regiment commander." Mai Yajun immediately stood up straight and said in a loud voice:

"No objection, I will apologize to Comrade Xia Qingqing in person after posting the apology letter tomorrow."

Lu Jingchen said nothing more, waved his hand at him, and signaled that he could leave.

Mai Yajun, who had no objection, turned around and immediately showed a mask of pain on his face.

Two thousand words! He probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

However, although he knew that Xia Qingxi was not the one who did it, Mai Yajun still felt sorry for the leader. The leader was so outstanding, but he married a country girl by mistake. But this country girl was not only uneducated but also ugly. Considering

the leader's personality, he probably still felt guilty about her, and would not divorce her. The leader was really wronged.
