Chapter 210 It’s finally time to settle the old account from five years ago
On the treetops just tens of meters away from the regiment headquarters office building, soldiers were hanging at different heights. From this angle, one could also catch a glimpse of the silhouette of the chief's office.
All I could see was Commander Duan's tall figure moving around, but I had no idea what they were talking about.
The movie on the playground was playing loudly, and the sound slowly drifted into the room through the window.
Han Suijing looked at Commander Duan, his voice sinking to the bottom of the valley: "Commander, please send her back to the courtyard. I have something to ask Zhai Ximo alone."
After saying this, he stared at Zhai Ximo fiercely. His eyes were cold and sharp, as if he wanted to stare through him.
The voice was so deep that it made Wang Ziru shudder. "What exactly does Han Suijing want to do? He's not really going to remove her man's military title, is he?"
The ex-fiancé had an overpowering aura, and was intimidating without even getting angry. He was ruthless in a different way from Commander Duan. When he spoke, the air in the entire office was so depressing that it was difficult for people to breathe.
"Well, I..." Wang Ziru could almost guess that after Han Suijing sent her away, he would deal with her man alone.
She secretly gave up the idea of saying a few words for the man.
Commander Duan gradually recovered a little when he saw that his young wife had no injuries. He pointed at Zhai Ximo and shouted, "From now on, if she loses hair, it will be your fault!"
After scolding, Commander Duan looked at Han Suijing.
Understanding his intention, the rough man ruffled his hair with the fingers holding the cigarette, "Let's go! I'll take you home."
Wang Ziru, under the 'escort' of Commander Duan, took her first step forward.
The calm man who was originally sitting behind the desk suddenly stood up.
A man screamed from behind.
"ah!"
Zhai Ximo screamed, and was knocked to the ground by a sudden punch from the leader, causing him to lose his balance.
Wang Ziru's experience of serving in the emergency room told her that her man must have suffered internal and external injuries tonight. After all, he was still her man. She subconsciously turned around and wanted to go in to say hello to Han Suijing and ask him to show mercy.
Commander Duan blocked her outside the door with his strong arm, looking somewhat helpless but also a bit concerned: "What's so good about it? He pulled your hair, does it hurt your head?"
"Of course it hurts. My head is numb from all that pulling. I had a little ringing in my ears just now." Wang Ziru said with a wry smile, withdrawing her intention to go back.
"Tingling in your ears? Go to the town clinic and get checked out."
"No, no, I feel much better now. I should be fine after a good night's sleep."
"Look at you, a person even my uncle admires, but you are bullied so badly by men when you go home. The family compound is so big, and no one intervenes?" Commander Duan frowned. He always felt that his young wife was having a miserable life. She was not at all as sunny and cheerful as he saw outside.
The two of them walked down the empty stairs.
Suddenly, Commander Duan realized belatedly that Wang Ziru had said during the day that she liked his uncle.
A bad thought secretly popped up in my mind. Could it be that my young wife really likes the most difficult man to serve in the Shangduan family?
Commander Duan couldn't help but shudder when he thought about this. This was not a good sign.
The next moment, his face turned dark, "Tell me the truth, do you really like my uncle? Do you flirt with men when you get home?"
"Pfft." Wang Ziru was speechless and punched the commander. "I was just teasing you in the car at noon, but you took it seriously!"
Commander Duan was stunned, with a faint smile on his carefully retouched face, "Tease me? You are really good at it."
"Commander Duan, you care so much about the people. I see that you are friendly, so I was just joking with you. Please don't take it seriously! Otherwise, if someone tells Commander Duan in the future that I still like you, you will know how funny this joke is." Wang Ziru smiled politely.
After saying this, Wang Ziru was shocked. Even though everyone knew that the joke "I like the commander" was just said casually, wasn't it expressed too smoothly?
Wang Ziru came to her senses and was so embarrassed that she clasped her hands. How outspoken was she?
The rough man standing on the stairwell had something deeply touched in his heart, and was stunned for a moment.
Duan Yanzhi looked a little uncomfortable when being looked at by his young wife, but his mind was still clear, his brows were filled with arrogance and pride that could not be concealed: "I am such a grown man, why don't you say something else, tease me with my uncle?!"
He simply ignored the second half of the young wife's sentence.
His hand naturally fell on Wang Ziru's head, rubbed her warm hair, and snorted coldly: "You lied to me, are you happy?"
"Hehe, please be magnanimous. Don't take it to heart."
Wang Ziru had a strong desire to survive, but she was surprised to find that she didn't seem to mind Commander Duan's sudden intimate behavior towards her.
The two of them walked out of the regiment headquarters building one after the other, and met many young cadres standing in front of the building.
Among them was Zhang Kang.
Zhang Kang thought that Zhai Ximo would come out with him, but he seemed to have thought things too simply.
Seeing Wang Ziru and Commander Duan walking together from a distance, he did not dare to step forward to say hello. When the couple was fighting, he happened to be busy in the regiment office and missed it, otherwise he would definitely have gone to persuade them to stop fighting.
Commander Duan personally accompanied Wang Ziru down, and the soldiers and small cadres in front of the regiment headquarters building immediately stepped back and made way.
When they were about to reach the family compound, Wang Ziru politely declined Commander Duan's "kind intention" to visit her home, "It's okay, Commander Duan, please go back, I can go home by myself! There are so many eyes in the family compound, and I will have to explain to others when they ask."
Duan Yanzhi obediently stopped in his tracks, his eyes deep as he watched his young wife shyly slip into the family yard and disappear into the night.
But the words that the young wife said in the stairwell, although true or false, were hard to tell, but they gripped the rough man's heart.
At this time, the chief's office.
Without Commander Duan watching him, Han Suijing took off his watch and slowly rolled up his sleeves.
A pair of eyes like deep pools, filled with surging emotions.
"I never responded to you directly, but you are really awesome. You snatched away my fiancée whom I loved and spoiled, and you didn't even know how to cherish her!"
"You've been in the army for five years and you haven't come home, and you haven't sent money to your wife?"
"Bring her to the army and force her to face the woman you were fooling around with outside."
Zhai Ximo felt pain all over his body. It was finally his love rival's turn to settle the old score from five years ago. He felt so guilty that he didn't have the strength to refute.
Just now, in front of Commander Duan, Han Suijing was reluctant to reveal the special relationship between the three of them.
This is to prevent his hot-tempered superior from suspecting that he was taking revenge on his own and not handling conflicts within the family compound according to military regulations.
Han Suijing admired Zhai Ximo very much. "In all the years I've been managing armorers, this is the first time I've encountered an officer living in the compound who dared to lay hands on his wife!"
"I..." Zhai Ximo knew that he would die tonight, but he didn't want to die without knowing why, so he said aggrievedly: "Commander, you should have seen that I didn't really hit her! She grabbed my ears, and I was so angry that I pulled her hair."
Zhai Ximo felt it necessary to defend himself, otherwise tonight might be like a time before liberation.
A poor boy like him couldn't afford to provoke, and didn't dare to provoke, a corps-level cadre like Han Suijing.
Han Suijing is a well-known figure in Yunnan Province, and is also a senior with outstanding military achievements in the Kun District Armored Division Corps. He is a god worshipped by the entire army.
"Oh?" Han Suijing's face was terribly gloomy.
Facing the strong pressure from her love rival, Zhai Ximo was also sensible. "You clearly know that you are in the Ninth Division. If anything happens to her, you will definitely stand up and support her. So no matter how courageous I am, I can't deliberately commit a crime at a time like this."
"You are so good at making excuses for yourself. Then tell me the truth. Are you really dating Wen Yiting?"
Zhai Ximo was filled with shock. He thought Han Suijing would take his time and settle the matter for how he had stolen his fiancée five years ago.
But Wen Yiting couldn't tell anyone about this! Once the relationship between him and Wen Yiting was exposed, not only would he be questioned by the army, but Wen Yiting's job in the art troupe would also be ruined. She was a platoon-level cadre when she first entered the army.
As long as he confesses tonight that he and Wen Yiting have indeed been dating for several years, he doesn't have to think too much, because what awaits him tomorrow will be dismissal!
And it is impossible for Wen Yiting to have any relationship with him anymore.
"If you hide even one word, I can remove all your military titles."
Zhai Ximo felt his scalp tingling and he kept thinking about the plan in his mind.
After all, he has studied in military school for several years and his IQ is not that low, so he has to play a game of chess with his love rival.
"You and Wen Yiting have been dating in Kun District?" Han Suijing's question suddenly rang out in the empty and silent room. "As long as I am determined to investigate this matter, I will soon find out the truth."
Zhai Ximo's eyes dodged, and finally he said, "Wen Yiting has a crush on me. We met and had dinner together in Kun District, but it's not an improper relationship between a man and a woman as those people outside say."
"Are you sure? I just need to call Wen Yiting over, and the truth will be revealed."
"Let's not talk about Wen Yiting, let's talk about what happened between me and my wife," Zhai Ximo cleverly diverted the chief's attention. "I got married not long after I met her. At that time, we didn't know each other very well and didn't have much affection for each other. I admit this."
Han Suijing clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and in his chest he was suppressing a storm that was about to erupt.
How dare you talk about stealing someone's fiancée so lightly and irresponsibly!
Zhai Ximo glanced at the other party carefully and continued, "How did I spend the past five years in the army? The commander can investigate."
"But I can say that I have done nothing wrong to them. I don't know how the money I send home every year is allocated at home."
Indeed, no one in his family told him that Wang Ziru had given birth to a son.
So after careful consideration over the past few years, he decided that he did not want to spend his life with a woman with whom he had no feelings.
"So you went back to your hometown to visit your relatives this year, originally to get a divorce? Did discovering you had a son disrupt your plans?" Han Suijing's face seemed to be covered by a dark cloud, and he could hardly suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart.
He was answered by a long silence.
Han Suijing already got the answer, and all he felt was heartache for his ex-fiancée.
I feel it's not worth it for her.
After a while, Han Suijing turned around, facing away from Zhai Ximo, and gently wiped away the tears from his eyes. "Things have come to this point, are you still planning to live with a woman you have no feelings for?"
