Chapter 14 Counterattack
Captain Li was surprised: "Are you sure?"
Xu Ting held her head high: "Captain, I know you are partial to Chen Tang, but my watch is a Shanghai brand, and watch tickets are hard to come by. If it is lost, my aunt will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly."
Captain Li shook his head and laughed: "It's not that I feel panic, but Chen Tang obviously doesn't need this watch, she..."
Wang Xiaoyu interrupted: "Whether it was Chen Tang who stole it, wouldn't it be clear if we check her bag?"
Captain Li also worked her way up from being a female soldier in the art troupe. At her age, if she can't even see through this little trick, then she's wasting all her years in the art troupe.
She was just hesitating whether to suppress the matter first, when she heard Chen Tang say: "Captain, I agree."
Wang Xiaoyu curled the corners of his lips, he was indeed a fool.
She had put the watch in there herself.
Her eyes were always on her bag, and she was sure that the watch was in her bag!
"But I have a condition. To prevent someone from tampering with my bag, please ask the regiment commander to come over. I hope he can check my bag in front of me."
When Captain Li heard what Chen Tang said, his brows furrowed, "Chen Tang, this is just a small matter, why bother to bring it to the commander?"
Chen Tang insisted stubbornly: "Captain, it's not just because of this matter, but also because of the rumor that I am the daughter of the stinky old ninth."
Captain Li had a good relationship with Shen Tang's aunt, so he naturally knew Zhou Ling's tortuous life experience.
She didn't know Chen Tang's family background, but even He Xu had to take care of her, so how could she be the daughter of Chou Lao Jiu?
She didn't take these rumors seriously at all, who knew they would become such a big deal.
Seeing that Captain Li was hesitant, Xu Ting thought she was biased towards Shen Tang, and immediately yelled at her to go and invite him.
One was the niece of Division Commander Tan, and the other was the niece of the political commissar of a regiment. Both of them wanted to ask the division commander to come and seek justice. Regiment Commander Li had no choice but to let Lin Xiao take charge of discipline while he went to invite people himself.
Seeing that Chen Tang was really going to look for her uncle, Xu Ting couldn't help but sneer: "Some people just won't give up until they reach the Yellow River."
Lin Xiao comforted Chen Tang: “Don’t pay attention to her, your uncle won’t watch you being wronged.”
Shanghai brand watches are expensive, and it was Commander Tan’s niece who lost something. The person suspected was the niece of Political Commissar Fang. The incident became so serious that no one in the art troupe dared to leave, for fear of being implicated.
Commander Tan did not come alone, he was followed by He Xu and Political Commissar Fang.
Xu Ting came forward with red eyes and said, "Uncle, I was bullied so badly."
Master Tan's face turned pale. He walked around her and stood in front of everyone. "I've heard about the incident. Since Xu Ting lost her watch and none of you have left the training room, it would be inappropriate to search only one person. Let's just search everyone."
Xu Ting's face turned pale. What did her uncle mean by this?
Wouldn't this make her offend people?
As soon as Commander Tan said this, the faces of the people who had just been enjoying the show changed immediately.
Someone murmured quietly: "There's no need to search everyone. Our art troupe only has the daughter of the stinky old ninth. Only she would do such a shameful thing. Why search us?"
He Xu's sharp eyes locked onto the person who was speaking: "Comrade, who do you think is the daughter of Chou Lao Jiu?"
Liu Zhi was sweating profusely when he was stared at. He just spoke so quietly, how could this guy have such sharp ears?
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he stiffened his neck and said loudly: "Chen Tang is the daughter of the stinky old ninth. This is the rumor spread throughout the military region. Is there anything wrong with it?"
He Xu's eyes were cold: "Shen Tang and I grew up together, how come I didn't know that she was the daughter of the stinky old ninth? If she was, how did she pass the political review? It seems that the people in the art troupe can't even tell right from wrong."
Captain Li looked extremely bad. Their art troupe had completely lost face today.
Liu Zhi's face turned pale: "But, but this is what Xu Ting said!"
Xu Ting quickly denied: “I didn’t, how would I know about Shen Tang’s family situation?”
When she heard He Xu speak up for Chen Tang, she felt jealous, but she also obviously realized that she and Wang Xiaoyu might have been tricked by He Qiu!
Wang Xiaoyu was much smarter than Xu Ting. When she heard He Qiu's ambiguous words, she had already guessed that He Qiu might be lying, so she was anxious to ask Captain Li to convict Chen Tang.
Who would have thought that Chen Tang would go directly to Division Commander Tan, and Xu Ting, the idiot, would even urge Division Commander Li to go and ask for the Division Commander.
Doesn't she know that what Commander Tan hates most is people using his connections to do evil?
Wang Xiaoyu reminded quietly: “Even if Chen Tang is not the daughter of Chou Laojiu, it cannot be proved that she did not take the watch.”
Xu Ting's eyes lit up: "Yes, uncle, didn't you say to search everyone's bags? Search them quickly."
Commander Tan was extremely disappointed with her. He couldn't understand why the well-behaved and obedient niece his wife described was like this.
Spread rumors behind others' backs and maliciously frame them.
He also secretly uses his status to suppress others.
If Chen Tang hadn't run to his office and cried without saying a word this afternoon, he wouldn't have known that everyone in the military region would be fooled by a rumor!
Chen Tang originally wanted to wait until the commander found the watch before defending himself. The bigger the incident became, the more punishment Xu Ting would receive.
But He Xu seemed to know what she was going to do and shook his head slightly at her.
Chen Tang suddenly realized that not only He Xu had seen through his little trick, but Commander Tan and Commander Li had probably also guessed it.
What do elders hate the most?
Of course, the younger generations were scheming against each other and deliberately involving innocent people.
"Commander, from the rumors to the loss of the watch, I think you already know who is behind this. You don't need to ask people to search for others. I think the watch should be in my bag."
Xu Ting pointed at her and yelled, "Look, uncle, she admitted it!"
"Shut up." After Commander Tan scolded, he glared at He Xu.
The latter did not dodge or avoid, but looked over with a smile.
"Why should I shut up? She already admitted that she stole my watch!" Xu Ting yelled.
Chen Tang would not indulge her: "I didn't admit to stealing your watch. My bag has not been opened since I entered the practice room. You know very well who took your watch and deliberately framed me during this period."
Xu Ting: "Who would frame you? Don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Tang raised his little head proudly: "I forgot to tell you, this afternoon I accidentally dropped my backpack into the red paint bucket over in the dormitory where slogans are written, so whoever touches my bag today will definitely have red paint on their hands."
She already knew what these two were planning.
It was nothing more than framing her the day before the performance. By then, Director Li couldn't find anyone to replace her, so he had no choice but to force Wang Xiaoyu to go on stage.
She had been secretly observing them for three whole days, staying up late at night to eavesdrop on the two of them discussing how to deal with her in bed.
She had rehearsed the counterattack steps in her mind more than a dozen times!
The villain in Chen Tang's heart crossed his legs with his hands on his fat waist.
Wang Xiaoyu's pupils shrank and she subconsciously took her hand back.
Perhaps her action was too abrupt, and everyone looked at her.
Chen Tang noticed the red marks on the corner of her clothes, held back his laughter, and tried to look fierce: "So it's you."
