Chapter 110 Xu Zhixia wakes up
Although Xu Zhixia said so, Zhou An still waited until she finished eating and fell asleep before leaving.
He closed the door gently, a cold look in his eyes.
He went straight back home and observed carefully at the gate of the courtyard.
Because it snowed a little in the afternoon, the footprints were covered and it was difficult to see clearly.
This brought some difficulty to the investigation, making Zhou An's brows even more gloomy.
At this moment, his peripheral vision fell on a piece of debris not far away.
He frowned and strode over.
This is... a bucket.
If he remembered correctly, it didn't seem like this in his family.
Although the bucket didn't make much difference, he had specially smoothed the edges and corners so as not to hurt Xu Zhixia.
He curled his lips into a sneer and walked straight to Political Commissar Zhou's office with the bucket.
Half an hour later, Aunt Yuan and her family were called to the army.
"Grandma, nothing can happen, right?"
Shengli looked flustered and carefully pulled at the corner of Aunt Yuan's clothes.
In fact, he regretted it when he bumped into her just now.
Aunt Yuan didn't say anything because she was also very panicked.
When she saw Xu Zhixia faint, she felt happy but also scared.
He left in a hurry with victory and was still restless when he returned home.
Political Commissar Zhou called them all over. Could it be that he discovered something?
Once this thought appeared in her mind, it stayed there for a long time.
On the other hand, Captain Yuan stood there with an impatient look on his face.
He muttered, "I don't know why Political Commissar Zhou called everyone here. I'm still busy writing a report."
He just finished a mission some time ago, and now is the best time for promotion.
He had been in the position of battalion commander for several years, and his heart was burning with excitement at the thought of promotion.
Just as he was immersed in his own thoughts, the door in front of him opened.
Zhou An walked out, looked around coldly, and said, "Come in."
Battalion Commander Yuan was the first to react and strode in.
Aunt Yuan and Shengli gritted their teeth and followed closely.
As soon as she entered the door, Aunt Yuan saw the wooden barrel on the desk.
Her face suddenly turned pale and her calves were trembling.
Captain Yuan didn't notice anything was wrong with his mother, and asked in confusion: "Political Commissar Zhou, why did you call me here?"
Political Commissar Zhou frowned and slammed the table, making a deafening sound in the small room.
"Why do you still have the nerve to ask me this? Why don't you look at the good things your son has done!"
Captain Yuan was stunned. How could it be related to his son?
Seeing that he was unaware, Zhou An took a step forward and said, "Let me tell you."
"Captain Yuan, your son deliberately bumped into my wife."
"She's still pregnant and was just taken to the infirmary."
Captain Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he almost thought he had misheard.
But he reacted quickly and his first thought was how to calm things down.
Shengli was his son who was born in his old age. The whole family doted on him very much, which led to his lawless character.
He knew about this matter, but never took it seriously.
He never thought that victory would bring him such a big disaster.
Who is Zhou An? News has already been released that he will soon be promoted to group leader.
It's not just because of his own abilities, his family background should not be underestimated either.
How dare Shengli, especially at this critical juncture.
A surge of anger surged in his heart, but he also knew that the most important thing at the moment was how to solve the problem.
Captain Yuan forced an awkward smile and tried to smooth things over, "Is this a misunderstanding? My child may be a bit naughty, but he doesn't have any bad intentions..."
Zhou An's eyes became even colder. Since Captain Yuan intended to handle it this way, he didn't need to save face for Captain Yuan.
He interrupted Captain Yuan coldly, "Is this a misunderstanding? Then what's going on with this bucket?"
He looked at Political Commissar Zhou and repeated in front of everyone, "My mother-in-law came home to cook for my wife and fell at the door."
"The owner of this barrel poured water at the entrance of my yard, and it has frozen."
"Plus, it was snowing, so you wouldn't have noticed it unless you looked carefully."
After a pause, he sneered, "It might be a misunderstanding that he hit my wife, but what about this bucket?"
"Political Commissar Zhou, I want to report the Yuan family for intentional homicide."
After these powerful words were spoken, the atmosphere in the air became cold.
Captain Yuan's breathing became difficult and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
How could he not even recognize his own bucket?
But he didn't understand why his mother could do such a thing?
Once recognized, not only will he have no hope of promotion, but it will also be a question whether he can stay in the army in the future.
Aunt Yuan's sharp voice rang out: "You are talking nonsense, this is not my wooden barrel at all!"
Her eyes were filled with panic. She never thought that she had dropped the wooden barrel.
Zhou An didn't say anything because it was not up to her to decide.
Political Commissar Zhou suppressed his anger and looked at Battalion Commander Yuan with a complicated expression.
Before today, he had always seen Captain Yuan.
But if you can't even manage your own family affairs, how can you manage an army?
In just a few seconds, he made a judgment in his mind.
He sighed helplessly: "Captain Yuan, you are confused."
This simple sentence made Captain Yuan's face turn pale, because he already knew Political Commissar Zhou's answer.
He took a step forward and tried to argue, but Political Commissar Zhou said in a charming and cold voice, "I will report this matter truthfully."
"Get ready and admit your mistake first."
"That way... we can have a good place to go."
No matter how thick-skinned Aunt Yuan was, she realized that something was wrong.
Doesn't this mean that her son should be expelled from the army?
She panicked, feeling a surge of regret, but it was too late.
Suddenly, I wanted to kneel down and beg Political Commissar Zhou to change his mind.
Zhou An was quick to grab her wrist and stop her from doing that.
Then his gaze fell on Shengli, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Political Commissar Zhou, I'm leaving first. Xia Xia is still waiting for my care."
Political Commissar Zhou nodded and instructed, "If you need anything, please feel free to come to me."
After Zhou An knew about this, he wiped his hand that had just grabbed Aunt Yuan's wrist with disgust.
Too lazy to continue watching the farce here, I strode outside.
If he had that much time, he would also like to spend more time with Xia Xia.
When Zhou An returned to the infirmary, Xu Zhixia had already woken up.
She didn't ask about Aunt Yuan, but said, "I miss home. Let's go home."
Zhou An paused, shook his head, and said honestly, "The doctor said it's best to observe."
Xu Zhixia pursed her lips and said, "Can't I just observe at home? I don't like it here. It makes me uncomfortable."
Zhou An met her pleading gaze and fell silent.
