Chapter 391: Uncle Xie, Please Help Me!【2】
“Uncle Xie.”
When Liu Xu saw Xie Xuning, it was as if she had seen her savior.
Xie Xuning’s face was calm. He exuded authority despite his calm aura. When Xu Yuan saw Xu Xuning, she stood aside respectfully.
She hoped that Liu Xu could really persuade Commander Xie to resolve the matter of their deportation to the capital.
She could not be discharged.
She couldn’t afford to humiliate her parents. They were notable professors in the university. What would people say when they learned about Xu Yuan’s deeds?
“Regarding the decision to punish you two, Chief Instructor Li Qingcang has already decided. I won’t interfere. Now, you two can go back to the dormitory to rest. At eight o’clock tomorrow morning, you two will bring your belongings to the gate of the camp and wait.”
Liu Xu originally thought that by calling her auntie, she would try to find a way for her niece to stay.
She didn’t expect that her auntie was useless. She couldn’t persuade Xie Xuning to help Liu Xu.
She still had to be sent back to Capital University.
If she was sent back to Capital University, she would suffer humiliation—she would be the center of gossips. How could she enjoy her stay at the university?
“Uncle Xie, I really didn’t mean it. What was I thinking? It was a spur-of-the-moment thing…”
Liu Xu was now sobbing. She thought that since she had a strong background, even if she was discovered, she would still be fine.
She thought these people behind her could protect her well! She overplayed her cards.
Liu Xu didn’t expect that Xie Xuning refused to stand by her. He could have eased up their punishment.
“Teacher Xu, please take Liu Xu away. If Liu Xu has any questions, I welcome the two of you to report them to the higher-ups. I, Xie Xuning, will definitely cooperate with the relevant departments in the investigation.”
It was normal for there to be some rivalry among young girls.
A little rivalry would motivate people to work hard.
However, Liu Xu’s act of pouring cold water in the middle of the night when people were asleep was truly despicable.
Xie Xuning would never allow such things to happen in the barracks.
Soldiers wouldn’t do such a thing.
Soldiers had their comrades’ backs.
If he had tolerated Liu Xu this time, then he would have contributed to this unhealthy culture in the barracks.
No matter what, he would not tolerate Liu Xu’s behavior.
No one would dare intercede in this matter.
“Uncle Xie, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I will apologize to Ye Tianxin…”
Xie Xuning’s eyebrows furrowed, and he said to the guard standing at the door, “Send them back to the dormitory.”
Liu Xu and Xu Yuan were sent back to the dormitory. It was late at night, but Xie Xuning wasn’t sleepy at all.
He was sitting in front of the office while looking at Ye Linlang’s photo. Suddenly, memories came rushing to him.
That day, at the corner of the street, the blind man’s words made his calm heart beat wildly again.
His words were like a stone thrown into the calm lake that caused ripples.
“Ah-Wang, have you investigated the ashes for me?”
Xie Xuning was originally waiting for Qie Wang’s call.
However, he was too impatient to wait for him.
He was eager to know the result. Thus, he called him.
Qie Wang picked up Xie Xuning’s call and asked hesitantly, “Xuning, if—and that’s a big IF—these ashes really aren’t really your wife’s, what are you going to do?”
Xie Xuning stood up with excitement. He clapped his hands and took Ye Linlang’s photo. A spark of hope in his heart was reignited.
