He paused slightly, then continued, "I have a feeling that Comrade Chen Mengmeng seems to possess some special method or means of controlling her own emotions. Take, for example, the strange phenomena that have occurred today..."
Therefore, Xu Wenhua told Commander Chen about all the unusual things he had noticed that day, without reservation.
After listening to Xu Wenhua's account, Commander Chen's expression grew increasingly serious. He stared intently at Xu Wenhua and sternly questioned, "Can you be sure that everything you told me today is true?"
Facing Commander Chen's stern and questioning gaze, Xu Wenhua did not back down. He straightened his back and responded solemnly and respectfully.
"I swear on the highest honor of a soldier that what I just said was absolutely not an exaggeration, every word was true and there was not a single lie!"
At this moment, Commander Chen fell into deep thought. He recalled that since his daughter came to this place, her temperament did indeed seem to have undergone a significant change.
The once lively, cheerful, and carefree little girl has become sometimes taciturn and sometimes anxious. Is there any connection between these changes?
Thinking of this, Commander Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.
He knew this was no small matter; it not only concerned the truth of the case itself, but also the reputation and innocence of his own family.
If one were to investigate alone, even if the truth were eventually uncovered, it would likely be difficult to escape suspicion of cover-up.
"This matter could be a big deal or a small deal, and you know my character all too well."
"I just want to get a full understanding of the situation first. If she really has some kind of shady deal with those criminals, then needless to say, I will be the first to arrest her without hesitation."
"Of course, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and trouble, when I go to her to understand the relevant situation, I will arrange for someone else to accompany me to ensure that the whole process is fair and transparent."
As he said this, Commander Chen's usually stern face remained expressionless, but his firm gaze revealed an unwavering determination.
"Alright, Commander, since you already have a plan, I'll take my leave now." Xu Wenhua respectfully gave Commander Chen a standard military salute, then turned and strode out of the room with powerful strides.
Commander Chen nodded slightly in response, then reached for the hat on the table, carefully put it on, and strode out the door like a shooting star, heading quickly towards home.
He walked briskly, and made sure to call on two soldiers who were on duty nearby to accompany him.
Before long, the three arrived at Commander Chen's house.
Commander Chen took out his key and opened the door. Inside, he saw his daughter sitting in the living room, painting her nails.
"Dad, why are you back so suddenly at this hour?" Chen Mengmeng stared in surprise at the familiar yet dignified figure at the door, her heart filled with doubt.
At that moment, she had no idea why her father would appear at this time.
Commander Chen glanced at her expressionlessly and said, "Come with us to the study."
Without saying another word, he turned and walked toward the study.
Upon seeing this, Chen Mengmeng felt a chill run down her spine, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.
But she didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only silently follow her father into the study.
When they entered the study, they found the two young soldiers still standing there, looking somewhat hesitant.
Commander Chen saw them and wondered to himself why he had chosen two cowards. "What are you two doing standing there? Why didn't you come in with us?"
Regiment Commander Chen sat on his office chair, looked at one of the two soldiers who came in, and said again, "Xiao Wang, I know you're educated and have a good level of education."
"Now go and get a pen and paper. You need to write down everything we talk about in detail, understand?"
Upon hearing this, the young soldier was taken aback for a moment, then quickly responded and loudly replied, "Yes, Commander!" He then gave a crisp salute, turned around, and strode out of the study to find paper and pen.
Chen Mengmeng stood aside, watching all of this unfold, her doubts growing stronger.
She couldn't understand why her father had called her to his study and made the young soldier take notes.
Could it be that she made a mistake? But she has been behaving very well lately... Thinking of this, Chen Mengmeng couldn't help but secretly glance at her father, trying to see some clues on his face.
However, Commander Chen's serious face was like an iceberg, expressionless, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.
Left with no other choice, Chen Mengmeng could only wait anxiously for what would happen next.
"Close the door!" Commander Chen said solemnly.
Upon hearing her father's command, Chen Mengmeng, like a docile little rabbit, obediently walked to the door and gently closed it.
She turned around, walked lightly to the desk, looked at her father cautiously, and asked softly, "Dad, what's wrong? You look so serious today."
Commander Chen did not immediately respond to his daughter's question.
His sharp, hawk-like eyes were fixed on his daughter, as if trying to see through her appearance to the secrets hidden deep within her heart.
For a moment, the entire office fell into a suffocating silence.
