Chapter 554: Deep Reflection

"Chief, I failed to discipline my daughter. I wonder if her case has been closed?"

"Although she is a bit domineering, she won't kill or burn anyone."

…

At this critical juncture, Commander Tang took the risk and bravely asked the second-in-command.

The second commander heard from his former subordinates and the soldiers he brought with him that they were asking about the arson case and wanted to exonerate Tang Xuemei.

His face became serious and the smile he had earlier disappeared.

"Xiao Tang, this is the case file, take a look."

"I knew you would come. If you didn't come to ask me, I would have sent someone to Mount Wumeng to let you know the whole story of the arson case."

The No. 2 leader asked his secretary to take out the arson case investigated by Song Qinian and other related cases from the file cabinet and hand them over to Commander Tang.

Teacher Tang took the file bag and opened it. The files inside contained Tang Xuemei's confession and the motive for the crime.

He saw Tang Xuemei, who was sentenced to fifteen years. Because she was pregnant, the final sentence was that she would be sentenced to serve her sentence outside of prison for the entire period of her pregnancy and until the end of her breastfeeding period.

When the child is eighteen months old, he will return to prison to serve his sentence.

After reading all the files, Teacher Tang was stunned. Like a wooden sculpture or clay figure, he forgot where he was and whose office he was sitting in.

"Xiao Tang, don't be sad. You need to reflect deeply on yourself."

"You are good at leading soldiers in battle, but you are not good at educating your daughter. This is a lesson for you. Your grandson must be better educated in the future and must not follow your daughter's old path."

The No. 2 leader spoke to Commander Tang earnestly.

He did not say anything harsh, nor did he try to absolve Tang Xuemei of the blame. He acted in a businesslike manner, and Commander Tang felt troubled.

The No. 2 leader has already become like this, so he doesn’t dare to look for him.

The third commander, Lei Ming, was a man of integrity and ruthlessness. Many of his clever ideas came from his time as the chief of staff of the military region.

Now that things have come to this, who can he blame?

If Song Qinian doesn't solve the case, there will be others who can. This is what Commander Tang is thinking at the moment.

He thought for a moment, took a sip of tea, and said to the No. 2 leader, "I failed in my duty and did not educate my daughter well."

"Chief, please go ahead and do your work. I will return to Mount Wumeng overnight."

Seeing that Master Tang did not plead with him, the No. 2 leader nodded and took over Master Tang's words and said, "You can go back."

"In a few days, the military region will award and confer honors on the meritorious soldiers. You can go to Beijing again."

When Commander Tang saw that the No. 2 leader agreed to let him return to Wumeng Mountain, he felt mixed emotions.

He really wanted to ask to see his daughter, but he didn't dare say it out loud, fearing that he would be slapped in the face by the second-in-command or kicked out.

He quickly stood up from the sofa, saluted the No. 2 commander, and said loudly, "Yes."

"You still look the same as you did back then. Is that good?"

When the No. 2 leader met Commander Tang, he had no intention of seeing his daughter. He gave Commander Tang a full score in his heart.

He thought for a moment and then continued, "The investiture ceremony will be held at the end of the month, and your daughter has been sentenced."

"Because she is pregnant, she can go home and serve her sentence outside of prison. When the child is 18 months old, we will arrange for her to be sent to a different prison."

…

When Commander Tang heard what the No. 2 leader said, he was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses.

"Thank you, Chief!"

"I didn't educate my daughter well, but I will definitely educate my grandson well."

…

The child was still in Tang Xuemei's belly. In Teacher Tang's mind, a fat little boy appeared, and the three words "little grandson" came out of his mouth.

"I believe you, see you at the end of the month."

The No. 2 leader also stood up from the sofa. He grabbed Commander Tang's hand and said something meaningful.

"yes."

Commander Tang readily agreed and saluted the No. 2 commander again.

He shook hands with the No. 2 leader and walked out of the office.

Huo family villa.

Jia Yulan nestled in the sofa, watching how ordinary people didn't have black-and-white televisions, and she was looking forward to her son's return.

I hope my son is back.

Her daughter's case was not a big deal. She suddenly felt that Song Qinian was so vicious that he took advantage of her son's absence to attack Huo Yan.

At this time, a news report was interrupted. A beautiful female anchor, standing next to the boundary marker, said loudly: "Friends in the audience, friends in front of the radio, our PLA soldiers are about to return triumphantly."

"They are the heroes of the nation and the most lovable people of the new era. Look, they are coming towards us."

…

Jia Yulan listened to the hostess' voice, she stood up from her chair and said to herself: "I don't need to go to the police station tomorrow, my son is back."

"My son is back. Let's see how they release Huo Yan."

…

snort!

Huang Siyu's mother-in-law muttered for a long time and groaned to express her dissatisfaction.

She wanted to see the chief of police, how about he stand in front of her like a grandson and accept the slap in the face that was given to her.

Thinking of the police chief, Jia Yulan immediately thought of Song Qinian. She was so angry that she paced around in the living room.

At the same time.

Huang Siyu was lying on the hard bed in the guesthouse, listening to the radio.

Boom boom boom…

There was a knock on the door. She heard the familiar knock and quickly got up from the bed.

I put on my clothes, put on my slippers, and walked to the door.

"who?"

Huang Siyu asked softly.

"Siyu, it's me."

Bai Wei's voice came from outside the door. Huang Siyu immediately became alert when she heard Bai Wei's voice.

She listened to the news and knew that Huo Qiheng was coming back. She couldn't help feeling uneasy, wondering what would happen next.

At this time, Bai Wei came, which undoubtedly gave me a reassurance.

At the very least, we have some guiding suggestions for the future and won’t get lost.

With a creak, the door opened.

Huang Siyu looked at Bai Wei standing at the door and pulled her into the house.

"Weiwei, why are you here?"

"You weren't at home looking after the children, nor were you at the hospital with Song Qinian? What happened?"

…

Huang Siyu held Bai Wei's hand and asked a series of questions.

It seemed that she had many questions in her mind, and she had not yet asked all of them. Her eyes showed a desire to find answers, as well as a fear of the future.

She often said that she wanted to leave Fok Kai-hang, but after leaving the Fok family, she found it difficult to move forward, and those who had once tried to please her now kept their distance from her.

Now, I began to doubt myself. Can I raise the child by myself?

"I put the kids to sleep. I couldn't sleep, so I came to see you."

"I heard from the news that the soldiers are going to triumph tonight. I want to share this joy with you."

…

Bai Wei only talked about sharing, and never mentioned that Teacher Tang came to Beijing, and that Huo Qiheng was about to return to Beijing.

She held Huang Siyu's hand and talked about the bloody battles of the soldiers and how Song Qinian was recovering.

"Siyu, isn't this amazing? Song Qinian had surgery to remove shrapnel and he no longer coughs."

"If the shrapnel is not removed, I don't dare to think about the future."
