Chen Mengmeng looked utterly astonished and asked incredulously, "Dad, what are you saying? I'm your own daughter, how could I possibly have contact with criminals?"
Her voice trembled slightly with emotion, and her eyes began to redden, as if she felt she had suffered a great injustice.
Commander Chen carefully observed his daughter's expression, trying to find even the slightest sign of a lie, but to no avail.
Could it be that Xu Wenhua was mistaken? This thought flashed through his mind.
However, as an experienced veteran commander, he knew that he could not easily let go of any suspicious points.
He emphasized again, earnestly advising, "I received a report from the public that your behavior is somewhat suspicious."
"My child, you must answer your father's questions honestly."
If you truly have connections with criminals, take advantage of the opportunity to turn back now and confess everything to the organization.
"Otherwise, if things get out of control, even if your father wanted to save your life, he probably wouldn't be able to."
"Dad! You don't believe me? I really haven't had any contact with those criminals! Think about it, I only go to work and come home every day, how could I possibly have the opportunity to meet those kinds of people?"
Chen Mengmeng's eyes were red and swirling with tears, and her voice trembled with anxiety.
Commander Chen stared at his daughter's face expressionlessly, without saying a word.
Time seemed to stand still, and only Chen Mengmeng's tearful protest could be heard in the room.
After a very long time, as if time itself had frozen, Commander Chen finally opened his mouth slowly and spoke in a low, deliberate voice.
“In the near future, there will definitely be other people coming to your door, asking you to conduct further investigations and inquiries.”
His gaze was fixed on his daughter, his eyes revealing a hint of worry and concern.
Chen Mengmeng quickly straightened up and nodded earnestly, replying, "Dad, I understand."
"Don't worry, no matter what they ask, I will tell them everything I know honestly, and I will never hide anything or lie."
Her tone was firm and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.
Immediately afterward, as if afraid her father wouldn't believe her, Chen Mengmeng hurriedly added, "Have you forgotten? I'm a military family member!"
“From childhood to adulthood, I have always received the strictest education. I am very clear about matters of principle, and I would never make such a basic mistake!”
"If I lied to the organization, may God send down a bolt of lightning and kill me!" she said, raising her right hand high as if to swear an oath.
Seeing his daughter's confident expression, a hint of relief appeared on Commander Chen's face.
He nodded slightly, then waved his hand gently, indicating that his daughter could leave: "Alright, I believe you. You can go and take care of your own business now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, remaining motionless like a statue, seemingly deeply immersed in his own thoughts.
Chen Mengmeng walked out of the room feeling wronged, and as soon as she stepped outside, her expression instantly darkened.
She lowered her voice and muttered to herself, "System, what's going on? Why did my dad suddenly ask such a strange question today?"
The system's mechanical voice immediately echoed in his mind: "Host, according to our investigation, Xu Wenhua accidentally noticed you using the item today."
"He suspected you might be a spy sent by the enemy, so he reported this to your father."
"How could this be! Shouldn't all the items provided by this system be foolproof? Why was he still able to spot the flaw this time?"
Chen Mengmeng frowned deeply, her slender eyebrows furrowed, her mind a jumble of confusion and unease.
