Chapter 97 Backhand Betrayal
"Commissar Hu, Head of the Regiment, and all the leaders, everything I said is true. I can find relevant people to testify."
Shen Zhiqiu looked at Kang Zhixin: "Kang Zhixin, who else can testify for you besides Lu Shuangshuang?"
"Everyone in the group knows that Lu Shuangshuang has a good relationship with you. Her words are not convincing."
Shen Zhiqiu turned his gaze to Lu Shuangshuang again: "Lu Shuangshuang, I don't care about other things, I just want to ask you, did I ask you to buy me a bag to repay the favor?"
"Sister Shuangshuang, that's what happened."
Kang Zhixin pulled Lu Shuangshuang's hand hard. She had already seen that the situation was not in her favor. If Lu Shuangshuang turned against her again, she would be finished.
Little did she know that her appearance was actually a sign of trying to cover up one's own guilt.
All the leaders in the conference room immediately understood what was going on.
"Kang Zhixin, are you Lu Shuangshuang?" Wu Qingyun glared at Kang Zhixin: "There are so many leaders here, what are you doing?"
"Lu Shuangshuang, this matter is no longer an internal matter of our group. You should think carefully before answering."
Wu Qingyun explained the interests involved to Lu Shuangshuang: "This involves historical issues, the image of soldiers, and personal morality. We will definitely investigate."
“Captain…Captain, I…” No matter how stupid Lu Shuangshuang was, she knew how serious the matter was now.
She looked at Shen Zhiqiu, then at Kang Zhixin, and became entangled.
"Little comrade, you can't even remember what happened last night?"
As soon as Political Commissar Hu opened his mouth, Lu Shuangshuang immediately dared not lie anymore. She quickly whispered back: "Political Commissar, what I remember is...I took the initiative to go up to Shen Zhiqiu and tell her that I wanted to buy her a bag."
"Nonsense! Really nonsense! You two don't act like soldiers at all. You really bring shame to our regiment!" Wu Qingyun pointed at Lu Shuangshuang and Kang Zhixin and scolded them loudly.
Lu Shuangshuang and Kang Zhixin lowered their heads and dared not speak anymore, but Kang Zhixin looked dissatisfied and aggrieved.
It was obviously Shen Zhiqiu's fault, why did her few words make the leaders' faces change?
What her elder brother did wrong was the fault of that era, not her elder brother.
However, she didn't dare to say these words out loud, so she only dared to resent Shen Zhiqiu in her heart.
"Until the matter is investigated thoroughly, the three of you are not allowed to leave the art troupe or contact the outside world. You can only stay in the confinement room." Wu Qingyun said.
Shen Zhiqiu asked, "Captain, can I ask how many days it will take? My daughter hasn't seen me for a long time, and I'm afraid she will cry."
"We will send someone to the night market soon. Once we confirm that what you said is true, you can go back."
"Okay, thank you, Political Commissar Hu, thank you, Commander, and thank you, leaders."
This was not the first time that Shen Zhiqiu had been put in the confinement room. She had been locked up there before because Shen Liya, Lu Shuangshuang and Kang Zhixin had made trouble for her, and more than once.
But it was the first time for Lu Shuangshuang and Kang Zhixin to be put in solitary confinement. They looked around the empty small room with only four walls and felt very uncomfortable.
Shen Zhiqiu found a corner, leaned back and closed his eyes to rest, listening to the quarrel between Lu Shuangshuang and Kang Zhixin.
Lu Shuangshuang complained to Kang Zhixin: "It's all your fault. Why did you lie?"
Kang Zhixin glared at Lu Shuangshuang: "Lu Shuangshuang, you still blame me, didn't you say you would testify for me?"
"Didn't I testify for you? But your lies have been exposed. How can I testify for you? That would mean I'm lying with you!"
Lu Shuangshuang yelled hysterically: "Now that the matter has become so serious, if my family knew about it, they would definitely blame me, especially my aunt."
"Kang Zhixin, I'm telling you, if you cause me to be punished, I will definitely not forgive you!"
Kang Zhixin was unwilling to be outdone: "Lu Shuangshuang, I didn't force you, why do you blame me! It's obviously you who wanted to frame Shen Zhiqiu, why are you pretending to be a good person now!"
Lu Shuangshuang looked at Shen Zhiqiu, only to see Shen Zhiqiu slowly open his eyes, staring at the two of them with a cold, all-seeing gaze, half smiling and half not smiling. She stretched out her hand and made a "please" gesture: "You two don't have to worry about me, just continue."
"Chen Zhiqiu, don't be so proud!" Kang Zhixin put his hands on his hips and raised his chin towards Chen Zhiqiu.
Shen Zhiqiu found it funny: "Why should I be so proud? I just told the truth."
"Kang Zhixin, why do you think lying is the right thing to do? Is it because lying has become a habit for you, and has deceiving others become a habit for you?"
"You don't care whether your actions will hurt others, you only care whether you feel unhappy or not! As long as you feel unhappy, you will slander and defame this person, and even go so far as to destroy this person."
"You don't know what kind of harm your words will cause to me, do you? You don't just want to vent your anger, you want to destroy me!"
Every time Shen Zhiqiu spoke, he would take a step forward towards Kang Zhixin, and Kang Zhixin was frightened and stepped back repeatedly.
This kind of Shen Zhiqiu scared her. She didn't look angry at all and her tone was very gentle, but it was more terrifying than yelling at her.
“Chen Zhiqiu, I…I didn’t.”
Kang Zhixin subconsciously shook her head vigorously to deny it. She pointed at Lu Shuangshuang in panic and said, "Lu Shuangshuang asked me to do this. She can't stand you. You know, her family is better off than mine. I dare not disobey her."
Lu Shuangshuang's eyes widened and she shouted in disbelief: "Kang Zhixin, you are talking nonsense!"
"Chen Zhiqiu, I didn't know anything beforehand. As soon as I arrived in the morning, she dragged me to the head of the group office to report you. She said all the things. I just testified for her because she is a friend."
Lu Shuangshuang hurriedly explained to Shen Zhiqiu. Seeing that Shen Zhiqiu didn't seem to believe her, she raised three fingers: "Shen Zhiqiu, what I said is true. I can swear to heaven that if I lie, I will never get married!"
"Lu Shuangshuang, do you remember what I said to you last night?" Shen Zhiqiu shook his head gently: "You have a bad vision and a bad brain."
Lu Shuangshuang and Kang Zhixin heard what Shen Zhiqiu meant, and their faces immediately became very ugly, but neither of them dared to refute.
Lu Shuangshuang stared at Kang Zhixin and gritted her teeth, "Chen Zhiqiu, you are right. I really have a bad eye and a bad brain. I can't judge people well. I was cheated and foolishly helped others count the money. In the end, they turned around and sold me out."
Seeing that Lu Shuangshuang didn't dare to provoke her again, Kang Zhixin took out all her anger on Shen Zhiqiu: "Shen Zhiqiu, why are you so cruel! Are you satisfied now?"
"It's none of my business. This is all your own fault."
Shen Zhiqiu coldly revealed Kang Zhixin’s thoughts: “You never really regarded Lu Shuangshuang as a friend, you just wanted to use her to make friends with more children from the big courtyards and coax her to spend money on you.”
