Chapter 45 Jingchen, they are all jealous of me
The employees who had been watching the commotion inside the supply and marketing cooperative for a while started discussing it amongst themselves.
"What's going on? Didn't they say she had military documents? Where are they?"
"Oh dear, look at this poor little girl crying her eyes out. If I were falsely accused and reported, I definitely wouldn't cry. I would roll up my sleeves and fight that person to the death!"
"Didn't you hear what she said? The person with the military documents isn't her, it's her 'best friend'!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Do you know who that comrade is? She's Commander Xie's fiancée. There's no need for her to have military documents."
"Maybe it's precisely because of this identity that it's easier to get it? Who wouldn't want more benefits?"
Qiao Feitian listened to the whispers of the crowd, feeling both shocked and frightened.
Ignoring everything else, she rushed to Xia Fanxing and Sister Wang's side and immediately started rummaging through Xia Fanxing's cotton-padded jacket pockets.
To her disappointment, she searched both pockets thoroughly but couldn't find a single military receipt.
"Impossible, this is impossible..." Qiao Feitian muttered to herself, shaking her head.
Xia Fanxing wiped away her tears and said to Sister Wang, "I told you I didn't have anything on me, but you didn't believe me. Now that you've searched me, you should believe me, right?"
Sister Wang returned the small bills and internal receipts from the Production and Construction Corps to Xia Fanxing, smiling somewhat awkwardly. "I believe you. I'm sorry, comrade, I made a mistake."
“Now that I’ve finished searching, you can search for her now,” Xia Fanxing said, pointing at Qiao Feitian.
All eyes turned to Qiao Feitian.
"Why are you searching me? I've never seen military documents before!" Qiao Feitian tried to cover up her inexplicable fear with a loud voice.
Xia Fanxing: "I said that just now too, but what did you say about me? You said that I was guilty for not being searched. Well, let me ask you, are you also guilty for not letting the sales clerk search you now?"
“I…” Qiao Fei was speechless.
Just now, Qiao Feitian was being aggressive, but now that her and Xia Fanxing's positions have been reversed, Xia Fanxing is using her own words against her, and she has no way to counter them.
"Okay, it's just a body search, right?" Sister Wang walked up to Qiao Feitian and gave her a reassuring look.
When Sister Wang searched Qiao Feitian, the regimental commander's fiancée, she naturally wouldn't be as rough as she was with Xia Fanxing.
She reassured Qiao Feitian that the process would be gentle and restrained.
But Qiao Feitian misunderstood, thinking that Sister Wang was trying to reassure her that no matter what happened, Sister Wang would be there to protect her.
Even if military documents were found on her, Sister Wang would hide them and pretend she didn't see them.
With this layer of protection and confidence, Qiao Feitian suddenly felt no longer afraid.
She stood tall and proud, opened her arms to Sister Wang, and said confidently, "Come on, search."
Sister Wang reached into Qiao Feitian's pocket.
Qiao Feitian looked at Xia Fanxing and said with a fake smile, "I'll show you whether I'm guilty or not!"
Before she could finish speaking, Sister Wang exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it, and under everyone's watchful eyes, a military receipt fell from Sister Wang's hand and fluttered to the ground.
Then came the second one, the third one...
Qiao Feitian was struck dumb by what she saw and was completely stunned.
The entire room fell silent.
Suddenly, Qiao Feitian let out a piercing scream: "Impossible! How could they be in my pocket! Xia Fanxing deliberately framed me; she put these military documents in my pocket!"
After Qiao Feitian shouted these words, Sister Wang seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly echoed, "Yes, yes! Everyone knows what Comrade Qiao's status is. Her fiancé is a regimental commander. Why would she go through all this trouble to illegally possess military documents? They don't need them. This must be a setup!"
When she said "someone," Sister Wang glared fiercely at Xia Fanxing.
Although this claim has been refuted before, most people still find it reasonable and choose to believe it.
The situation has become quite delicate.
Even though the military receipts were found in Qiao Feitian's pocket, many people believe that Xia Fanxing was the one who violated the rules.
This stalemate needs a key figure to break it.
Su Weiguo lifted the curtain of the supply and marketing cooperative and was almost startled when he entered.
He chuckled and said, "Wow, so many people, what are you all standing around looking at if you're not buying anything?"
He looked towards the center of the crowd and immediately said in a loud voice, "Comrade Qiao Feitian, I've been looking for you. Could you please give me those military documents that you asked me to keep safe? I need them for something right now."
Su Weiguo's words were like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, and everyone's emotions exploded!
The person illegally possessing military documents was actually Qiao Feitian!
Commander Xie's fiancée!
What was she thinking? Why did she have the audacity to do such a thing?
At this moment, Sister Wang was holding those military receipts in her hand, as if she were holding a red-hot coal, caught in a dilemma.
Although everyone had seen the truth, no one dared to loudly criticize Qiao Feitian.
The fact that the group leader's fiancée was so important that they had no choice but to keep quiet.
Qiao Feitian was in a state of extreme panic because of Su Weiguo's "identification". She shook her head repeatedly, trying to defend herself, but she could only repeat the same two sentences over and over again.
Although the people were hesitant to speak, she could see the condemnation in their eyes.
She recalled that when she had been inquiring about military documents with people over the past two days, someone had said that it was a serious crime that could lead to imprisonment.
Going to jail...
These two words made Qiao Feitian feel dizzy, and she almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Just as Xia Fanxing was about to close the net, the cotton quilt curtain of the supply and marketing cooperative was lifted again.
A person who was completely unexpected appeared in everyone's sight.
"What's going on?" Xie Jingchen's dark eyes swept over the obviously strange people in the supply and marketing cooperative, his gaze focusing on Xia Fanxing and Qiao Feitian.
Qiao Feitian looked unwell; something must have happened.
But no one dared to explain to Xie Jingchen.
Qiao Feitian seemed to have suddenly found her pillar of support, and rushed to Xie Jingchen, crying and distorting the truth.
"Jingchen, you've come at the right time! They...they ganged up on me! That Xia Fanxing, she somehow got hold of military documents, and when I found out, she framed me, saying I took them! And that soldier, he even helped Xia Fanxing give false testimony, their relationship is definitely not ordinary! They're just jealous that I'm your fiancée!"
Qiao Feitian, the villain, filed a false accusation first, attempting to reverse the situation using Xie Jingchen's identity and power.
At this moment, her mind was completely occupied by the word "jail".
She forgot what she had just said to Xie Jingchen not long ago, and she also forgot the promise she had made to Xie Jingchen.
Xie Jingchen did not respond to Qiao Feitian's tearful complaints.
He saw the military documents in Sister Wang's hand, Su Weiguo's tense yet determined eyes, and the angry but unspeakable looks in everyone's eyes.
Finally, he looked at Xia Fanxing.
Xia Fanxing stood upright, her expression calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.
