Chapter 76 Old Lady Qian was taken away for investigation
At that moment, the gate to the Gu family's courtyard creaked open.
Gu Baobao came out.
She changed into a simple light gray outfit, her hair loosely tied back, her face clean and without any makeup, yet she was still so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
But at this moment, her usually clear and bright eyes were veiled with a thin layer of moisture, her eye sockets were slightly red, her long eyelashes trembled gently, and her lips were slightly pursed.
She stood there, slender, her shoulders slightly hunched, like a delicate white flower trembling in the wind and rain, a sight to behold.
This contrasts sharply with the old woman Qian, who is throwing a tantrum on the ground with a ferocious expression, creating a stark and ironic scene.
Everyone held their breath.
Zhang Yunxiang and Liu Bangzhen felt even more distressed when they saw Gu Baobao's appearance.
What a wonderful child!
You've suffered such a great injustice!
Gu Baobao raised her eyes to look at Zhang Yunxiang and Liu Bangzhen, her voice soft and gentle, with a barely perceptible tremor and sob:
"Chief of Staff Zhang, Political Commissar Liu... I... I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."
She sniffed, trying to control her emotions, but tears still rolled down her cheeks like broken pearls.
The tears, crystal clear, slid down her fair cheeks, each one seeming to strike the hearts of the onlookers.
So pitiful!
Saving someone has only led to trouble!
I was blocked at the door and yelled at by this shrew!
Gu Baobao wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, her voice choked with emotion, but she tried her best to remain clear:
“Yesterday at the beach, I saw a child fall into the water, and without thinking, I jumped in to save him… I was so happy that the child was saved.”
But... but this old lady insists that I pushed the child, and she even wants me to marry her son as a daughter-in-law..."
As she spoke, she seemed to have suffered a great humiliation and fright; her body trembled slightly, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"I...I know I'm just a country girl, I've never seen the world...but I also know that saving people is not wrong...why...why are you doing this to me..."
She raised her tear-filled eyes to look at Zhang Yunxiang, her gaze filled with helplessness, confusion, and a hint of utter despair.
“Chief of Staff Zhang, Political Commissar Liu… if… if this place truly cannot accommodate me, if even saving people is met with such slander and bullying… then I should… I should return to my village…”
Her voice grew softer and softer, thick with nasal tone and sobs; each word struck like a hammer against the heart.
"At least... in the village, no one would do that... no one would force the girl who saved the girl to become... a man like that as her wife..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood the unspoken meaning.
She can't stay here any longer.
I was terrified and heartbroken by this shrew's shamelessness and viciousness.
She's leaving.
Go back to that remote village in Northeast China.
Zhang Yunxiang and Liu Bangzhen were terrified when they heard this!
What? !
Gu Baobao is leaving?!
Go back to the village?!
What a joke!
These are national treasures who took so much effort to retain!
He was the healthcare provider appointed by Mr. Tang Zhengnan!
He is an expert who will soon be teaching advanced first aid techniques!
She's a little miracle doctor who can make amazing medicinal meals and perform acupuncture like a god!
She's leaving, how are they going to explain this to their superiors?!
How am I going to explain this to the hospital?!
How am I going to explain this to Old Tang?!
Moreover, Gu Baobao was clearly the one who suffered a tremendous injustice in this matter!
Saving someone only to be extorted!
Slander!
Forced into marriage!
If word gets out, how will their island military region save face?!
Who will dare to act bravely and righteously in the future?!
Zhang Yunxiang was so angry that his face turned ashen and his chest heaved violently.
Liu Bangzhen also frowned, his sharp eyes fixed on Old Lady Qian, who was still standing there in a daze.
The emotions of the onlookers in the family compound were completely ignited by Gu Baobao's pitiful yet reasonable sob!
"This is outrageous!"
"Comrade Gu, don't go! We support you!"
"Old woman Qian! Have you no shame?! Someone saved your grandson, and you still harm them like this!"
"Leadership! This ungrateful scoundrel must be severely punished!"
"Yes! We can't let her discourage good people!"
The crowd was outraged.
Old Mrs. Qian was dumbfounded.
She never expected that this seemingly delicate and weak little bitch would be so eloquent!
So good at playing the victim!
With just a few words, she positioned herself as a victim and garnered everyone's sympathy and criticism!
"You...you're talking nonsense!"
Old Mrs. Qian screamed, and tried to pounce on Gu Baobao and tear her apart.
"You're the one who pushed! You're the one who caused this! Don't try to deny it!"
Liu Bangzhen gave a wink to the security officer.
Two officers immediately stepped forward, one on each side, and forcibly lifted Old Lady Qian off Zhang Yunxiang's lap.
Old Mrs. Qian still wanted to throw a tantrum, but after being glared at by the clerk with a serious look, she restrained herself a little, though she was still cursing filthy things.
"shut up!"
Zhang Yunxiang's sharp shout startled Old Lady Qian.
"We will investigate and find out exactly what happened!"
Zhang Yunxiang's face was ashen, and his voice was icy.
"We will never wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a guilty person go unpunished!"
He looked at the security officer:
"Take Qian Guihua away! Place her in isolation for investigation! Notify her son, Cai Zhongguo, to come here immediately!"
He then looked at the crowd of onlookers and said loudly:
"Comrades, please trust the organization. We will definitely get to the bottom of this matter! We will give everyone, and Comrade Gu Baobao, justice!"
After saying that, he said to Gu Baobao kindly but solemnly:
"Comrade Gu Baobao, please rest assured, the organization will never let you suffer any injustice!"
Please trust the organization, stay here with peace of mind, and continue to contribute to the medical cause of the country and the military!
Gu Baobao raised her tearful eyes, looked at Zhang Yunxiang, her gaze filled with dependence and trust, and nodded gently, her voice still choked with emotion:
"I...I believe in the organization."
They looked so adorable, it broke your heart.
Zhang Yunxiang's heart softened, and he became even more determined to severely punish Old Lady Qian.
The security officer stepped forward and was about to take Old Lady Qian away.
Old Mrs. Qian was truly panicked now.
She didn't expect her superiors to take it so seriously and even require an investigation!
She began to struggle desperately, crying out:
"I won't go! I haven't broken the law! What right do you have to arrest me! It was my grandson who was pushed into the water!"
"I have a fever! Why aren't you arresting the culprit? Why are you arresting me?! I'm not having this! I want to see Cai Zhongguo! Send my son here!"
"Your son is already on his way!"
Liu Bangzhen said coldly,
"If you have something to say, let's talk at the security office!"
The officers stopped being polite and forcibly took the old woman away.
The wailing gradually faded into the distance.
