Chapter 407 He refused to believe that no one could handle her.
When Jiang Ting faced Shen Mo, the words stuck in her throat.
Seeing that she was speechless, Shen Mo turned to Minister Qian and asked, "Minister Qian, how should this matter be handled?"
Minister Qian was somewhat embarrassed.
When they receive a report, their disciplinary department will usually conduct an investigation in the surrounding area.
He originally intended to first observe the attitudes of Deputy Brigade Commander Shen and Dr. Jiang towards the child before considering conducting interviews and investigations.
But to everyone's surprise, he didn't need to conduct any investigations at all.
These military dependents were all well aware of what was going on in Deputy Brigade Commander Shen's family, and he heard their chatter clearly.
The child abuse did not happen at all.
Therefore, Jiang Ting's report was malicious.
"Deputy Brigade Commander Shen, please wait a moment," Minister Qian said, then looked at Zhiqi, "Zhiqi, may I examine your body?"
"Is this how it looks?" Zhiqi said, suddenly lifting his clothes to reveal his firm, white belly.
She showed him her stomach, then turned around and lifted the back of her shirt, saying, "And your back too."
Minister Qian looked at the child's fair and tender skin, seeing no signs of abuse. He was instantly enraged and coldly looked at Jiang Ting, "You saw it? Where are the injuries on this child?"
At this moment, Jiang Ting clenched her fists and glared angrily, clearly extremely furious.
She stepped forward to grab Zhiqi, but Shen Mo pulled her back.
Jiang Ting's arms were restrained by Shen Mo.
Shen Mo glanced at Sister-in-law Li.
Sister-in-law Li immediately stepped forward to grab Jiang Ting. Seeing that Jiang Ting was struggling fiercely, she called another military wife over to help her hold Jiang Ting down.
They didn't exert too much effort, after all, Jiang Ting was pregnant.
"Why are you arresting me! He's lying!" Jiang Ting said angrily.
Shen Mo remained unmoved.
At this moment, Minister Qian looked at Jiang Ting and said, "Minister Jiang, I will report this matter to the art troupe and tell the troupe leader everything so that she can expel you as punishment."
"Fire me?" Jiang Ting's eyes widened. "You have no right to do that!"
"Do you think the army is your private property? You come to Dr. Jiang's house and, with just a few words, you accuse them of abusing children. How can someone with your character still stay in the cultural troupe? You have quite the nerve."
"People like that should be fired."
Amidst the condemnation, Jiang Ting's face flushed red and then turned pale.
Jiang Ting felt incredibly wronged. It was clearly this kid who came to her yesterday saying that he had been beaten by Jiang Ning!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ting suddenly realized what was happening. She looked at Jiang Ning with fierce eyes, "It was you! Did you plan this all along?!"
She said this with great certainty.
Jiang Ting wanted to rush up and slap Jiang Ning hard across the face twice, but her arm was being held and she couldn't break free.
Seeing Jiang Ting like this, Sister-in-law Li felt a sense of satisfaction.
She didn't know why Jiang Ting suddenly wanted to report Jiang Meizi's family. Her daughter must have been even more upset than Jiang Ting was now when she was bullied in the art troupe.
Jiang Ting's expression at this moment was beyond just ugly.
She turned to Minister Qian and said, "Minister Qian, they orchestrated this whole thing. You must help me investigate!"
Minister Qian said coldly, "I have investigated this matter very thoroughly. You deliberately wrote the whistleblower letter to slander Deputy Brigade Commander Shen and Dr. Jiang."
As he said this, he was also very glad that Shen Mo was not the kind of person who would abuse his power in the army.
Given his current position as deputy brigade commander, he could directly report to the leadership to have his position as head of the discipline department dismissed.
Jiang Ting looked around at the people, all of whom were looking at her with accusatory eyes. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't say a word.
For every word she says, these people can come up with ten counter-arguments.
How come Jiang Ning is so lucky? Everyone protects her!
In the end, Minister Qian took Jiang Ting away. When he returned to the camp, he immediately went to find the head of the cultural troupe, but was told that the head was not there.
Then he went to the deputy commander. When the deputy commander heard that it was about expelling Jiang Ting, she immediately refused, saying that she did not have the authority to expel Jiang Ting.
Jiang Ting watched with a cold smile as Minister Qian negotiated with the deputy head of the delegation.
Minister Qian's face was grim. Was the slanderous matter really going to be swept under the rug so easily?
What Deputy Brigade Commander Shen just meant was that he would handle the outcome of this matter.
How to handle it is up to him. Although Deputy Brigade Commander Shen didn't say it explicitly, who could feel at ease after being slandered?
"You want to fire me? Dream on." Jiang Ting crossed her arms, her face full of arrogance.
Minister Qian gave her a cold look, then turned and left.
He refused to believe that no one could control her.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard.
After the audience left the theater, the courtyard returned to its former tranquility.
The moment the door closed, Zhiqi pursed his lips and suddenly knelt heavily in front of Jiang Ning and Shen Mo with a 'plop'.
Jiang Ning was frightened by him.
Shen Mo walked over with a stern face and lifted the child up in one swift motion.
Seeing that he was about to kneel again, he said in a serious tone, "Explain your mistakes carefully, don't do it this way."
Zhiqi looked up at his parents with a worried expression.
Then he honestly said, "Yesterday I deliberately went to her and said you hit me."
Jiang Ning frowned, about to say that it was wrong for him to lie, when she heard the child say, "Who told her to bully her little brother!"
Jiang Ning: ?
Zhiqi continued, "My brother's face wasn't swollen from a fall that day, but from being pinched by Jiang Ting. She's pregnant now, so even if we tell Mom and Dad, you can't do anything to her. So... that's why I came up with this plan to avenge my brother."
“I know…” Zhiqi cried as he spoke, “I know lying is wrong, and I know I was wrong, but it’s also wrong for her to bully my brother. If I could do it all over again, I would still choose to avenge my brother.”
Zhiqi always listened to his parents, and this was the first time he had spoken to them so forcefully.
He watched his younger siblings grow up from infancy, and he would never allow anyone to bully them!
After Zhiqi finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited for his parents' judgment.
Suddenly, his arm was grabbed by a rough, large hand.
Zhiqi subconsciously thought he was going to be kicked out by his father, but he heard his father say, "Roll up your sleeves, Dad will put medicine on you."
He looked up and saw his father opening the medicine box.
He looked down at his arm. When Jiang Ting grabbed him in her rage, she had used a lot of force, and his screams of pain at the time were not untrue.
Jiang Ting had pinched his arm with her fingernails, leaving several bloody marks that looked rather shocking.
"Dad, aren't you angry with me?"
Shen Mo took out the ointment and gently applied it to Zhiqi's arm. "Lying is wrong, but you did nothing wrong in protecting your brother."
Jiang Ning reached out and wiped away his tears. "Zhiqi, thank you for protecting your brother, but if something like this happens again, you must tell us. We are a family, and you must trust your family."
"And then there's the matter of lying. Lying can be done by lying to good people or to bad people. No matter what happens, you must never lie to good people, understand?"
Jiang Ning looked at Shen Mo.
She knew lying was wrong, but in life, everyone tells white lies sometimes, and she didn't really think her child was wrong to lie to protect his younger brother.
As children mature, she cannot simply teach them to be kind and not to resist. Resisting is the right thing to do, provided that they can protect themselves.
Zhiqi blinked.
So, Mom and Dad aren't angry that he lied?
So he won't be kicked out, right?
He also understood that his mother said he shouldn't lie to good people, but he could lie to bad people.
"I understand, Mom."
Shen Mo's expression was solemn. "Alright, the medicine is applied. Go practice standing meditation for an hour."
Upon hearing this, Zhiqi immediately wiped away his tears and said, "Okay, I'll go right now."
