“l really never expected to see you at this juncture.” Su Rui looked up at Jiang Ting resignedly.
Jiang Ting, on the other hand, was very excited. Originally, this opportunity to go on this overseas mission was hers. Furthermore, it was already agreed that when she returned from the mission, she would be promoted from a company commander to a battalion commander. However, she never imagined that Su Rui would ask for help from the Su family members and snatched away her opportunity.
Although Jiang Tings path to career advancement had been hindered, her parents and her three brothers were very happy with the situation. After all, this mission was very dangerous and they did not want Jiang Ting to be in any danger. The old couple only had this one precious daughter. If anything should happen to her, they did not know how they would be able to go on.
“This position is originally mine. You snatched it from me. I’m just getting back something that belongs to me,” Jiang Ting said smugly.
Xia Wen had told Qiao Mei to write a report. As Qiao Mei had never undergone military training before, she did not know how she should do it. Xia Wen told her to just describe everything that had happened. When the time came, Xia Wen would extract the relevant parts and submit them to the military court as evidence.
The superiors had also arranged for someone to inform Xia Zhe about this. Xia Zhe only knew that something had happened to Su Rui and that she had been recalled by the superiors. As for whatever happened between her and Qiao
Mei, he did not know anything. There was no benefit in telling him about this. Instead, it would make him worried about Qiao Mei’s situation and may lead to him blowing his cover.
Xia Zhe wrote down everything that Su Rui had done in Country M and even described clearly how she had caused disruptions to his tasks and how she was usually unwilling to carry out tasks related to the mission. He had taken to heart the fact that she had disturbed Qiao Mei’s rest late at night and also insulted Qiao Mei. Now, he finally had a chance to take revenge.
In line with his character, he wrote the report truthfully without much embellishments. What he did was to go into the minute details of all the incidents. When he was done, the report was nearly 15 pages long.
The matter in Country M was successfully resolved, but the situation in the capital’s military headquarters was getting very heated. Xia Mao and Xia Jun lost their temper with their superiors because of this matter and almost wanted to turn the military headquarters upside down!
Fortunately, Xia He was not with them. If she was also in the country, she would definitely go to the capital’s military headquarters with Xia Mao and Xia Jun to demand an explanation.
Xia Wen worked in government services, so he could not enter and exit the capital’s military headquarters at will. Otherwise, Xia Wen could at least go in and persuade Xia Jun and Xia Mao to calm down so that the situation did not get too awkward for the management staff.
“Mentor, please calm down. If you get angry, it will affect your physical and mental health. We will handle this matter with utmost care and will definitely give Comrade Xia Zhe a satisfactory answer,” Dong Ming, Xia Jun’s mentee, said.
“You still know that I’m your mentor! Look at the kind of people you send out! My grandson! My granddaughter-in-law almost died in Country M! Do you know the price they will have to pay if his cover is blown! Especially since there are women and children involved! You’re trying to kill my entire family!’ Xia Jun shouted furiously as he smacked the table.
“I know, I know everything! We considered everything when we selected the candidates, but we didn’t expect Comrade Xia Zhe’s family members to go there as well,” Dong Ming said.
Xia Mao said unhappily, “Brother Dong, what do you mean by that? Is it my daughter-in-law’s fault that there’s something wrong with the people you sent? My daughter-in-law is the top scorer of the college entrance examination in the capital! She is in Country M to further her studies as the representative of the agriculture faculty of Capital University! My daughter-in-law is someone who has donated so many seeds to the country unconditionally! What does this matter have to do with my daughter-in-law! ”
“I’m sorry, Xia Mao. You know that’s not what I mean…” Dong Ming quickly apologized.
“l don’t want to waste time on such nonsense! Tell me how you plan to deal with the person who made a mistake!” Xia Jun said fiercely.
“The military court will come to a reasonable decision on this. We don’t have any say in this matter,” Dong Ming said with a troubled expression.
Xia Jun stood up and pointed at Dong Ming as he said, “Dong Ming! Don’t think that I’m already old and don’t understand the twists and turns involved! The military court makes its decision based on your reports! In the end, the conclusion still depends on your team’s decision!”
“l will definitely handle this matter very impartially and definitely will not be biased at all!” Dong Ming said firmly..
