Chapter 434 Giving the Liu Family an Explanation
Liu Xiong said these words with a smile throughout.
Lu Zhenjiang personally put pressure on Xiao Yunfeng, who was well aware of the Liu family's strength and connections, so he could only obediently nod in agreement.
After he finished speaking, Lu Zhenjiang's solemn voice came through the microphone.
"Old Liu, our military region has wronged your Liu family in this matter. As the saying goes, forced marriages are never sweet. Since Xiao Yunfeng has no feelings for Wanrong, why should we force a match?"
Just a second ago, Liu Xiong was full of confidence, but his expression froze instantly, and his features scrunched up.
"Commander Lu, what do you mean by this?"
Five days ago, he personally promised that he would definitely stand up for the Liu family and give them an explanation.
“What I mean is that Wanrong is a good girl. Rather than wasting her time and feelings on a man who doesn’t love her, she should find someone who does love her. You don’t want her to be unhappy for the rest of her life, do you?” Lu Zhenjiang tried his best to make his point clear without hurting the Liu family’s feelings.
Liu Xiong's blood pressure immediately spiked, and his breathing became rapid.
Although Liu Wanrong couldn't hear what was being said on the phone, she could tell from her grandfather's expression that things weren't going well.
"Wanrong is already Xiao Yunfeng's woman, how can you expect her to find other men?" Liu Xiong was getting anxious and his emotions started to run high.
Lu Zhenjiang seemed to have anticipated his reaction and said, "So I punished Xiao Yunfeng by locking him in solitary confinement for five days without food or water. He had to be carried out of the solitary confinement room."
"Of course, in addition to these, Xiao Yunfeng should also be publicly criticized and made to write a self-criticism."
These punishments, when they reached Liu Xiong's ears, were simply insufficient to restore the Liu family's reputation or achieve their desired goals.
"Commander Lu..."
Lu Zhenjiang knew what he wanted to say, but didn't give him a chance to continue. He interrupted him earnestly, "Old Liu, please understand my predicament. I can't just execute a brigade commander because Xiao Yunfeng doesn't want to get married, can I?"
"This is a society governed by the rule of law, and marriage is based on freedom and voluntariness. Xiao Yunfeng has already been punished severely. If you continue to make trouble, it will not only affect him, but also the reputation of your Liu family."
Liu Xiong was so angry that his hand holding the microphone was trembling. "Chief Lu, if even you can't stand up for Wanrong, then Wanrong's life is completely ruined!"
There was a brief silence on the microphone.
"Commander Lu, I know Xiao Yunfeng is from your military region, and it's understandable that you're protecting him. But please, for the sake of our many years of friendship, give our Liu family justice!"
Liu Xiong clenched his teeth, each word he uttered was firm and resolute.
Finally, Lu Zhenjiang's voice came through the microphone again.
"Old Liu, there are some things I didn't want to say. I understand your feelings, but I don't quite agree with your repeated claims that Wanrong was ruined by Xiao Yunfeng."
"As far as I know, Xiao Yunfeng has never publicly stated that he and Wanrong are in a romantic relationship. Instead, the rumors have all come from the Liu family. Even the current discussions outside are inextricably linked to your side."
Five days is enough time for him to investigate and find out a lot of things.
He was unwilling to spell it out, partly to save face for the Liu family, but Liu Xiong's attitude made him realize how difficult the Liu family was to deal with this matter.
