Qian Yu signaled to the soldiers of the planting company to take the man and his nephew away.
When the matter was reported to Zhao Hongyi, Zhao Hongyi frowned, glanced at his adjutant, and the adjutant understood immediately.
To the plantation soldiers who came to deliver the message, he said:
"Go back and ask your company commander if he's been eating too much for two days and has gone stupid. Does he need someone to teach him what to do?"
Zuo Ling was clearly trying to establish her authority. If you didn't let her vent her anger, and she actually backed out, who could bear the consequences? Besides, she was in the right, so you couldn't go against her wishes.
The messenger delivered the message verbatim.
If I had known this would be the outcome, Qian Yu, being only a company commander, would have had to speak to his superiors.
He pulled out a discharge form from the drawer and had the soldier sign it.
The soldier's hands trembled. Only then did his uncle realize the seriousness of the situation, and he clung to Qian Yu's leg, pleading:
"I did it, it has nothing to do with my nephew. Please have mercy and let us go."
The end times are tough; even the military is having a hard time, let alone those outside the base.
Hearing that the outside world was full of vicious criminals, and that there was no way to survive outside, the man was truly panicked.
Qian Yu frowned, thinking to herself, "Why didn't you do this sooner?"
We're trying to appease that old lady, and you guys are stealing from her!
So what if they stole it? They caught them red-handed, and they still dare to make excuses.
The old ones don't know their mistakes, and the young ones are clueless. You deserve to be kicked out!
The man turned and begged for an answer:
“Deputy Commander, I know you have a good relationship with Zuo Ling. I was wrong. I will kowtow to her and beg you to put in a good word for us.”
He Guiqi looked at him calmly: "Do you know how I got into the army?"
The man was bewildered... How should I know?
"I got into a fight with Sister Zuo, and my family sent me to join the army."
Qian Yu looked at He Guiqi in surprise. "So that's what happened? I never realized they'd developed feelings for each other."
He Guiqi felt very aggrieved. It wasn't a fight with Sister Zuo; he was the one who got beaten up by Sister Zuo.
...The past is too painful to recall!
“I went to beg her, I went to kowtow to her.”
The man turned around and rushed out.
"Stop him."
Qian Yu and He Guiqi spoke in unison.
Both they and Zhao Hongyi knew that Zuo Ling was establishing her authority.
If a man begs for forgiveness too late, but does so after the fact, Zuo Ling will most likely let him go.
Unfortunately, the man failed to seize the opportunity and repeatedly provoked the other, thus losing his last chance.
It's too late to ask now!
They retrieved the two men's identity cards and the soldier's uniform; the soldier didn't even have a coat to wear.
He was given a military uniform upon enlistment. The soldier's clothes were given to his uncle, who wore them for several years until they were tattered and worn out.
Helpless, Qian Yu found one of her own clothes for him.
The man was filled with remorse. He could forgive himself, having lived half his life and had lived enough, but his nephew was still young.
Knowing the consequences would be so severe, I would never have stolen anything from Zuo Ling's house.
The two of them had no belongings; in these extraordinary times, neither had any extra food to share with others.
Qian Yu took pity on them and picked two cucumbers and two tomatoes from the plantation for them to take with them.
The uncle and nephew, weeping, disappeared into the night, turning back every few steps.
The soldier had been in the army for some time and had a few close friends. Upon hearing the news, they all came to see him off.
This scene was etched in the memories of many, evoking a range of reactions.
There was awe, fear, a respectful distance, and a mix of other emotions towards Zuo Ling.
He Guiqi came to inform Zuo Ling of the results of the investigation, but Zuo Ling didn't say anything.
Knowing that her family is wealthy, if she doesn't intimidate everyone, they'll all want to take a bite out of her, and then life will be unbearable.
What others think is none of her business!
