Guan Changchun bent down and whispered comfortingly, "Then let your Uncle Zhang handle the rest. We'll listen, okay? You have to trust the organization."
Following Guan Changchun's instructions, Zhang Jing began to recount the events from the beginning, starting with the irrationality of the situation, including the order from above to have An Moxue move out of the military compound, and how An Moxue was eventually hunted down. Even then, she didn't forget to help the country catch the bad guys. In the end, An Moxue had already obtained evidence, but unfortunately, the person in question was too high-ranking, so she didn't dare to show it. It wasn't until she came to Kyoto this time and heard that the person was under investigation that she dared to show them the evidence.
It was such a convoluted and winding story that it made one's heart ache.
"Where's the evidence? Let me see it." An Moxue glanced at him, her expression unreadable. She then looked at Guan Changchun and Zhang Jing, and only after they nodded did she take out the letter and the recorder and hand them to Zhang Jing.
Guan Changchun continued to explain, "Commander, please don't be angry. This child is just too concerned about her parents! From a carefree young girl to a child who has lost her parents, and now she has to face wolves and tigers from who knows where, it's been so difficult, sigh—"
"Look at what you're saying. Why do I feel like you're dissatisfied with me and resentful that I stopped the investigation in the first place?"
At this moment, Zhang Jing placed the letters and the tape recorder on his desk.
Commander Qin first read the letter but couldn't figure it out. Then he turned on the tape recorder and heard its contents, which shocked him greatly.
After listening to the recording, he asked about the letter again. An Moxue stood up and explained, repeating the reasons she had given to Zhang Jing and the others. Finally, she said, "Commander Qin, I don't ask for anything else. My parents were devoted to the country and its people when they were alive, and they still think of the country after they died. I can't let them die without knowing why. Besides, who in the military region doesn't know my parents' identities? I also want to ask him: What kind of treasure does my An family have that made him go so far as to kill my parents? In the end, when he couldn't catch me, he wanted to kill me instead. In the last few attempts to kill me, he wasn't satisfied with killing my parents, and he also wanted to kill me."
Commander Qin remained unchanged, his expression unreadable. "What are your demands? Just say it."
"I want to see those four people and Zhu Zhen."
“Okay, those four people can be seen today. Zhu Zhen, I need to ask for instructions. Don’t worry, the organization will definitely give your parents and you justice. This evidence must be kept.”
An Moxue stood ramrod straight, her eyes resolute, saluted Commander Qin, and replied, "Yes, Commander."
He only said one sentence: "This is how we soldiers should be. Go back and wait for news!"
Guan Changchun added appropriately, "Commander, it's not easy for the child to come back. He's still on standby, so please hurry."
"Get lost! Seeing you always brings bad news. Next time, Comrade Xiao An can come by himself; you don't need to bother!"
Guan Changchun pretended to be stupid and said, "As long as the case can be investigated and clarified, I'm willing to be dismissed from my post or go home to grow sweet potatoes."
The three of them left the office and walked out. An Moxue's appearance was too eye-catching. A beautiful and flamboyant girl with red and swollen eyes came out of the Commander-in-Chief's office, accompanied by Guan Changchun. How could people not be curious!
Before the three of them even left the military headquarters area, everyone already knew who this person was—An Moxue, the girl who had recently been mentioned in the comments for losing both her parents and having no other relatives. Her story sparked a new round of discussion.
On the bus, Guan Changchun said to An Moxue, "Moxue, don't worry. I don't think there will be too much of a problem meeting Zhu Zhen. You can go to the military headquarters this afternoon and have Zhang Jing accompany you so that you won't be bullied since you're unfamiliar with the area."
......
At noon, in the Lion Troupe's canteen, An Moxue unexpectedly met several aunties. She was especially pleasantly surprised to see Li Aidang, who was heavily pregnant and radiating maternal glow. Her complexion showed that she was doing well.
After greeting the elders, he pulled Li Aidang aside and asked in a low voice, "How many months pregnant are you these days?"
Five and a half months.
"No physical reaction?"
Li Aidang said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just want to eat delicious food and I love to sleep."
An Moxue reached out and pinched her chubby cheeks, saying, "I can tell, I even mailed you some things! Is there anything else you want to eat? If I have time these next few days, I'll take you to eat. Now you're eating for two, so eat more nutritious food. But you need to watch your weight after this. If you gain too much weight, the baby will be too big, and it won't be easy to give birth."
Li Aidang retorted, "You're all alone, how come you know more than me?"
An Moxue pinched her cheek again, "Because my mother is a doctor! I've been exposed to it all by myself, so I know a lot of things. Besides, I've even studied it!"
Li Aidang reached out and slapped it away, saying, "Why do you keep pinching my cheeks! I'll come after you if I become ugly!"
An Moxue said with a grin, "I won't take responsibility if you come to me."
"Girls, come and eat."
"Okay, let's go," the two replied, and then walked towards the dining table.
"Mo Xue, are those things all true?"
"What?"
"Those rumors?"
"Yeah, but it's all in the past, don't worry."
"When I think about those things, I don't know how you've gotten through these past few years. You must have been scared. I'm sorry, I don't deserve to be your good sister."
Li Aidang started crying as she spoke, and the crying grew louder and louder, attracting everyone's attention. Aunt Li said, "Why are you crying? You can't cry when you're pregnant, or the baby will be born a little crybaby!"
With tears welling in her eyes, she looked at An Moxue and asked, "Moxue, really?"
"Really, don't cry. I'll definitely take you out for a nice meal when I have time these next few days. This is our first child, and he'll be the eldest brother or sister in the future. If he's born crying a lot, he'll lose face in front of his younger siblings. Don't you think so?"
"Okay, then I won't cry anymore. I wonder if there will be anything I like to eat for lunch today?"
An Moxue looked at Aunt Li and asked, "There must be one. Is our cafeteria's head chef still Erwazi?"
"No, he transferred to civilian work last year and is now bald. I don't know who gave him that nickname. Why not just call him 'Little Bald'? Everyone's used to calling him that now."
"It's true what they say, 'The camp remains, but the soldiers come and go.' This person must have come after I left! I've never even heard of him."
"Yes, but the food is delicious."
Li Aidang urged, "Let's go eat quickly! I'm starving!"
"Eat, eat, eat! I bet there's another little glutton in your belly! How did your father and I end up with such a child who only cares about eating! Poor Wenhua, how does he manage to put up with you all day long?"
