But Captain Xie, why did you treat Qin Zheng like this? Let me ask you, what exactly did Qin Zheng and I do to offend you?
"Captain Xie, the disciplinary action on your record was inflicted by your own carelessness. It has nothing to do with me or Qin Zheng. Captain Xie, Qin Zheng applied to return to the army on his own initiative. He wanted to utilize the knowledge he gained during his four years at the Capital Military Academy and return to the army to repay the army for its kindness." But Captain Xie, why did you return here?
"Captain Xie, you weren't originally assigned to our unit. We sent you to Hainan Island to train yourself and guard the border! You resorted to some trickery to get back. But if you want to come back, just come back. Qin Zheng and I have been very kind to you and Zhang Yumei. We've never discussed you or Zhang Yumei in public, let alone you. Captain Xie, why did you come back? It was you and Zhang Yumei who kept targeting Qin Zheng and me, constantly discrediting us in the family compound. Qin Zheng and I, for the sake of our past friendship, have tolerated this. But our patience has made you the murderer of Qin Zheng."
"Chief, you have to make the decision for me and Qin Zheng!" Xu Zhiyi burst into tears facing the chief.
The chief looked at Xu Zhiyi, who was standing in front of him, crying and covering her face. At this moment, the chief hated Xie Heng to death. Especially after hearing what Xu Zhiyi said, the chief wanted to just retire Xie Heng. He really didn't want Xie Heng to stay in the army and work under him.
The chief recalled that since Qin Zheng and Xie Heng returned, Xie Heng and his wife had been causing trouble in the army. The chief recalled that for a period of time after Xie Heng arrived at the army, every time he returned home, he would hear the words "Zhang Yumei and Xie Heng" from his wife's mouth.
At this moment, the chief couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What kind of people really marry what kind of people!
The chief stared at Xie Heng motionlessly, trying to get a different explanation from Xu Zhiyi. However, even when Xu Zhiyi spoke again, Xie Heng didn't explain. This completely disheartened the chief, who had originally wanted to just brush the matter off.
Xu Zhiyi sniffled, calmed her thoughts, and spoke again, "Commander, as a soldier, I know the military discipline. But I'm Qin Zheng's wife now, and I really want to know the ins and outs of this matter. I also really want to know what Captain Xie did in this matter."
The chief took a deep breath and said, "Sister-in-law, I called you all here today to deal with this matter. I just found out about this matter. If I had known about it earlier, I would definitely not have agreed to let Xie Heng go to that village.
Sister-in-law, Qin Zheng and I have been friends regardless of age difference for four years. How could I possibly harm Qin Zheng?
"I've just heard about this matter from Captain Lin and Captain Chen. As for Xie Heng, I haven't had time to ask him yet, so let's listen here and see what Captain Xie has to say." After saying this, the commander looked at Xie Heng, staring at him, and asked Xie Heng to speak.
But Xie Heng just kept hesitating and refused to speak, and there was no way to torture him to force a confession.
When Xu Zhiyi saw that the leader was determined to get Xie Heng to speak, Xu Zhiyi quickly signaled with his eyes to Battalion Commander Lin and Battalion Commander Chen to let them take the lead and speak.
Captain Lin and Captain Chen naturally noticed Xu Zhiyi's look, and they both started talking immediately.
What Captain Lin and Captain Chen said at this moment was almost the same as what they said when Xu Zhiyi asked them before, except that Captain Lin and Captain Chen were a little nervous and used different words, but there was no sign of change in the meaning of what they said.
Finally, Captains Lin and Chen both looked at Xie Heng and said to the commander, "Commander, please believe us. If we had known earlier that there hadn't been an avalanche in the village Commander Xie had asked us to support, we would never have gone."
"Yes, Commander, please believe us. Commander, Lao Chen and I have been in the army for such a long time, and we are getting older and older. There is no room for promotion at all, so we really don't have any other thoughts. Moreover, we both just want to stay in the army and not cause trouble for the organization. We don't know why it turned out like this."
"Commander, please think carefully. Our superior is Captain Xie, and we left here because of Captain Xie's orders.
"Commander, if you don't believe me, you can ask Captain Xie. I think Captain Xie must not have received the call, or perhaps he answered the call from the village. Captain Xie led us there alone."
"Captain Xie, please have some mercy on the two of us. Captain Xie, even if you don't tell me now, I believe that with the commander here, he will definitely find out the truth. By then, I'm afraid you will be even more embarrassed!"
Xie Heng's hands were under the table, his fists tightly clenched. After listening to what Captain Lin and Captain Chen said, he glared at them fiercely.
The commander turned his gaze towards Xie Heng and questioned him, "Xie Heng, do you have anything to add to what Captains Lin and Chen said? Or do you have any questions?"
