Chapter 560: Not a single word Xiao Yunfeng wanted to hear.
"You two have a past?" Xiao Yunfeng completely agreed with her, but it was also something he wanted to know.
Su Jin cursed under her breath, calling him an "old fox," before hardening her expression.
"Does Uncle really not know?"
A shadow fell over Xiao Yunfeng's sharp face. She had kept it hidden for so long, and today she was actually going to confront that man for his sake?!
"I don't know. How could I possibly know everything about you?"
This statement was clearly a rebuttal to her earlier muttering in the living room that he couldn't possibly know all her friends.
What a petty man.
This time, Su Jin only dared to grumble in her heart.
“Since my uncle wants to hear it from me, then I will tell you. During the time I had amnesia in Daliushu Village, I married Zhou Zhenxing.”
Before she could finish speaking, the temperature in the room became frighteningly cold.
It was entirely because of the terrifying chill emanating from a certain man.
She assumed that since so much time had passed and Xiao Yunfeng hadn't inquired about it, he didn't care much about her marriage, especially since she and Zhou Zhenxing had already divorced long ago.
But now it seems that's not the case, so she quickly added, "I can explain. Although Zhou Zhenxing and I married voluntarily, we..."
"Enough!"
The mere word "voluntary" was enough to drive Xiao Yunfeng mad.
She didn't ask before because she knew that what had happened couldn't be changed, and she and Zhou Zhenxing were already divorced, so there was no point in arguing about it anymore.
Later, she stopped asking because she didn't want to hear anything about her feelings for Zhou Zhenxing.
Now that he heard her say it herself, he realized that he couldn't accept it at all.
Looking at his extremely cold face, Su Jin felt he had misunderstood and continued somewhat impatiently, "Uncle, it's not what you think..."
"I didn't think that way." Xiao Yunfeng practically forced these words out of his throat.
Hundreds of images flashed through his mind, images that drove him mad with jealousy.
This statement left Su Jin, who wanted to explain, completely at a loss for how to proceed.
The atmosphere was suffocating.
It took Xiao Yunfeng a few seconds to suppress the urge to kill Zhou Zhenxing immediately.
Why are you asking that person?
He was even unwilling to say Zhou Zhenxing's name.
Remembering that business was important, Su Jin forced herself to steer the conversation back to the beginning, even under his intense gaze, "What does the military region plan to do with him?"
Xiao Yunfeng coldly retorted, "Discharge him from the military and bring him to a military court."
Even though Su Jin was mentally prepared, she still gasped.
Is it that serious?
For Zhou Zhenxing, both of these were tantamount to taking his life.
At this moment, Xiao Yunfeng really wanted to tear open her heart to see how much of Zhou Zhenxing's place was inside!
"You think assassinating the commander was wrong?"
He stared intently at her, not wanting to miss any subtle expression on her face.
Su Jin thought of Zhou Zhenxing at that time, and realized that he truly had only himself to blame.
“He violated military law and should bear the consequences.”
First, a statement of affirmation.
"But shouldn't we also consider the circumstances at the time? His motivation wasn't to assassinate the leader; he just wanted to complete his mission."
After careful consideration, I offered this reasonable analysis.
As a result, Xiao Yunfeng's already cold expression became even more sinister!
"And what do you mean?"
Su Jin felt a chill run down her spine when she met his gaze.
He seems to be getting angrier and angrier?
But she didn't say anything wrong; even when she was pleading for Zhou Zhenxing, she didn't go outside the established framework.
But since he asked, she could also share her thoughts.
"If assassinating the commander wasn't his true intention, then shouldn't he be exempted from a military court-martial? As for being discharged from the military..."
Su Jin hesitated for a moment at this point.
Although she despised Zhou Zhenxing's behavior in matters of the heart, she could not deny that his heart was entirely devoted to the company.
Even if he wasn't a good son or a good husband, he was definitely a good company commander.
"To be fair, I think the military region should give him another chance to make amends. We can't condemn him for one mistake."
She spoke very seriously, with absolutely no ulterior motives.
Xiao Yunfeng's hands clenched suddenly, his eyes burning with rage.
Is that man really that good?
Even now, she's still speaking up for him.
Su Jin was clearly taken aback. What did this have to do with whether it was good or bad?
"I just feel that it is not easy for the military to train an excellent officer, so perhaps we can let him redeem himself through meritorious service."
Not a single word she said was pleasing to Xiao Yunfeng.
Rather than saying she was an outstanding officer, it was more accurate to say that it was because Zhuo Lanyu went to see her.
Out of consideration for her feelings, she had no choice but to plead for Zhou Zhenxing.
That way, he wouldn't have nowhere to vent his anger.
"I see!"
If we continued talking, he would definitely get so angry that he would grit his teeth, spit out a sentence, and then leave without looking back.
Su Jin stood there blankly, startled by the loud bang of the door slamming shut in the next room.
Why is he so angry?
She didn't seem to have said anything offensive!
And what does the last sentence, "I understand," mean?
Xiao Yunfeng is such an unpredictable person, he's really hard to fathom!
the next day.
When Su Jin got up, the room next door was already empty.
After asking Wu Ma, I learned that Xiao Yunfeng had left before dawn.
This would normally be a normal thing, but Wu Ma's next words annoyed Su Jin.
"Brigade Commander Xiao looked terribly pale when he woke up this morning. He didn't eat breakfast, didn't say a word, and just left. Xiao Jin, did you make Brigade Commander Xiao angry?"
Yesterday, Xiao Yunfeng had been drinking, and she felt that something was off about the two of them. She never expected that they had actually had a fight.
Su Jin subconsciously shook her head. "No."
Actually, she also had insomnia last night and only managed to fall asleep in the latter half of the night.
Things have been messy between her and Xiao Yunfeng these past two days, and she doesn't know what's going on.
Su Jin deliberately stayed home all day, thinking that she could have a proper talk with Xiao Yunfeng when he returned.
But Xiao Yunfeng still hadn't returned by the middle of the night.
Su Jin tossed and turned in bed, her eyes wide open until dawn.
With her leave coming to an end and her return to the military, she couldn't contain herself any longer and proactively dialed Xiao Yunfeng's office number.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
"This is the brigade commander's office. Who is this?"
The guard's voice came through the telephone line.
A hint of disappointment appeared on Su Jin's face. "I'm Su Jin. Is Commander Xiao busy?"
