Chapter 483 Second Update
Shi Meili had not been in the army for long, and this was her first time in Political Commissar Zhu's office. Her face did not look good at all.
Niu Zhao'er, who was standing by, turned pale with a guilty look in her eyes. When she saw her husband, Platoon Leader Mao, standing beside her and glaring at her fiercely, her legs trembled slightly involuntarily.
Political Commissar Zhu looked at the two men and knew what was going on.
However, although he had made a judgment in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
With a stern face, he repeated what Su Nanzhi had just said to him.
"Comrade Shi, do you have any objection to what Comrade Su said?"
Shi Meili didn't expect that before she could even close her mouth, Su Nanzhi knew about it the next second and brought Aunt Zhao to find Political Commissar Zhu to complain.
She suppressed her uneasiness and pretended to be angry.
"Political Commissar Zhu, this is the first time I've heard of this. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it."
"Although Comrade Su and I had some unpleasant things yesterday, I wouldn't go around telling everyone about it the next day."
Before Political Commissar Zhu could say anything, Aunt Zhao refused.
"Shi Meili, wasn't it you who spread the news that Captain Gu was cuckolded and that Comrade Su was pregnant with a bastard?"
Shi Meili's face turned pale, but she still tried to remain calm.
"Zhao Jinhua, did you hear what I said with your own ears? Otherwise, you are slandering me."
Aunt Zhao has been in the gossip world for decades, so how could she be scared by Shi Meili?
"I didn't hear it myself."
Shi Meili breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second she heard Aunt Zhao continue, "But you told Niu Zhaoer about this, and Niu Zhaoer told Baogui's mother, and Baogui's mother told Platoon Leader Sun's mother, and Platoon Leader Sun's mother told Deputy Regiment Commander Lu's wife Yinhua, and Yinhua told Xiao Zhang who works in the cafeteria, and Xiao Zhang..."
Hearing the long list of names coming out of Aunt Zhao's mouth, everyone present had different expressions, but the look on their faces when they looked at Aunt Zhao revealed a hint of shock.
I didn’t expect you to be such a person, Aunt Zhao!
Political Commissar Zhu interrupted Aunt Zhao with some helplessness, "Stop reporting names and get down to business."
Receiving the "admiring" looks from everyone, Aunt Zhao felt that she was a towering figure, standing at a full 1.8 meters tall. She was somewhat dissatisfied with being interrupted by Political Commissar Zhu, and looked at him with disdain, "Political Commissar Zhu, these people are witnesses. If you question them one by one, you will definitely catch the person who spread the rumors!"
"If the culprit wasn't Shi Meili, Zhao Jinhua's head would have been chopped off and kicked around like a ball."
"Although I, Zhao Jinhua, am not well educated, I know that the law is vast and will not let anything slip through. If I correct my mistakes as soon as I realize them, I am still a good man..."
Political Commissar Zhu's mouth twitched. Whoever wants to kick someone in the head.
But he finally understood why every time Zhao Jinhua was reported to him for her gossip, she would admit her mistakes so quickly. It seemed that she knew she couldn't escape.
Shi Meili didn't expect that there would be a weirdo like Aunt Zhao in the family compound.
It would be fine if you didn't spread rumors for me, but what about you catching the person who spread the rumors for me?
Moreover, what she said was spread by so many people, yet Aunt Zhao was still able to find the source.
Thinking of this, a hint of panic flashed across Shi Meili's face, but she still remained calm.
"Zhao Jinhua, you are slandering me. You are accusing me of something I didn't say."
Niu Zhao'er, who was standing by, immediately echoed, "That's right, I didn't say that either. Zhao Jinhua, you can't talk nonsense."
Zhao Jinhua sneered, "Then call everyone I mentioned here for a confrontation, and the truth will naturally come out."
Su Nanzhi originally just wanted Zhao Jinhua to be a witness for her, but she didn't expect that she would be so helpful. In addition to being a witness, she also acted as a detective.
Hearing Zhao Jinhua's words, she didn't hold back and immediately agreed, "Political Commissar Zhu, if we have wronged Comrade Shi, then I will apologize. But if Comrade Shi is truly making up stories, then we will not let it go."
Anger also appeared on Gu Xizhou's face. He had not wanted to argue with Shi Meili about what happened yesterday, but he did not expect Shi Meili to go so far.
As a man, it's okay for people to talk about him however they want, but Shi Meili should never spread rumors that Su Nanzhi has a bad character and that his child with Su Nanzhi is a bastard.
"Political Commissar Zhu, if this matter is not thoroughly investigated, I will no longer be the regiment commander."
As soon as Gu Xizhou said this, the office instantly became quiet.
Political Commissar Zhu's face darkened. Gu Xizhou's words were naturally a threat, but he couldn't get angry. After all, any man would be angry if this happened to him.
Zhu Dashan didn't expect that just a few words would cause Gu Xizhou to change his attitude.
Everyone present knew that the culprit behind the rumor was Shi Meili, and he knew very well that if the matter was investigated, neither he nor Shi Meili would escape punishment.
A verbal punishment would be fine, but if it affects his promotion, it would be more trouble than good.
"Old Gu, don't be angry. This is because my daughter Meili was careless. Can you give us a chance for the sake of our brother?"
Gu Xizhou looked straight at Zhu Dashan, as if he was meeting his comrade-in-arms for the first time. Just when Zhu Dashan felt a little scared by his gaze, Gu Xizhou withdrew his gaze.
"Of course, as long as you can admit that you are cuckolded and the child in your wife's belly is a bastard, I can give you this favor."
Zhu Dashan's face darkened instantly, and he said without hesitation, "You're the one being cuckolded."
As a man, the two things I can't stand the most in my life are being told I'm not good enough and being cuckolded.
Zhu Dashan was just an ordinary man, so he naturally couldn't stand it.
Hearing Zhu Dashan's words, Gu Xizhou was not angry, but just sneered.
"Why should I endure something that you, Zhu Dashan, can't endure?"
Zhu Dashan was speechless for a moment.
Shi Meili, who was standing by, was a little dissatisfied when she saw this. "Gu Xizhou, it wasn't me who spread the news that you can't have children. You, a person who can't have children, suddenly got one. Even if I didn't say anything, there would be many people in the family compound gossiping about you. If you're angry, you might as well discipline Su Nanzhi, a woman with dishonest behavior!"
Gu Xizhou was not angry when he heard people say that he could not have children, but when he heard Su Nanzhi's bad words, his whole body instantly exuded a cold aura.
He said nothing and kicked Zhu Dashan hard in the abdomen.
"Zhu Dashan, take care of your woman!"
Zhu Dashan was unable to dodge and was kicked by Gu Xizhou, and he took a few steps back.
Gu Xizhou's kick was merciless. If Zhu Dashan had not dodged in time, one of his legs would have been broken.
Looking at the looks of everyone in the office, Zhu Dashan covered his aching leg and became angry.
He didn't say anything and stepped forward to fight back.
It’s just that Gu Xizhou is the team leader, and he is only a deputy team leader, which in a sense shows the gap in strength between the two.
Gu Xizhou pinned Zhu Dashan to the ground without much effort, making him unable to move.
In the end, it was Political Commissar Zhu who sternly stopped the two men.
"That's enough."
