Chapter 2126: Shock
“It’s about the private life of a recruit before she joined the army. This recruit was diagnosed with heart disease in junior high school. It’s all recorded in her personal file. On the day of the college entrance examination, she framed Ye Jian for cheating for revenge. The Bureau of Education investigated this recruit and made a decision to ban her for five years.
“In less than half a year, this recruit suddenly joined the military again and she’s very likely to enter the capital city’s military arts unit. The person who helped her join the army is none other than Staff Officer Du.” Xia Jinyuan, who was reporting seriously, glanced at the videotape indifferently. A cold light flashed across his dark eyes. “Such a recruit is not qualified to join the army. Staff Officer Du not only allowed her to join the army without investigating her background, but he also let her join the military in advance on the grounds of special recruitment.
“Commander-in-chief, if this person really enters the army, the military’s image will be severely hurt once her private life and past actions are reported by the media.”
Commander Xia already knew who the ‘new recruit’ Xia Jinyuan was talking about was.
Ye Jian had sent a recording in which someone was heard explicitly mentioning Staff Officer Du.
The Military Disciplinary Committee had also heard this recording, but Old Du was not an ordinary person, after all. Without more conclusive evidence, it was impossible for them to touch Old Du easily, including himself.
Similarly, this videotape could not prove that there was something wrong with Old Du. Enlisting specially recruited soldiers was not a privilege. Those who were capable could indeed enlist early. Old Du only dared to do so because he knew this.
By joining the military, Ye Zhifan’s daughter would be committing a misdeed. After the matter was exposed, Old Du would only criticize her at the conference.
Instead of alarming Old Du now, it was better to wait and see.
Commander Xia picked up the videotape and looked at it again. However, since his daughter-in-law had sent the videotape to him, he had to say something.
…
Commander Xia, who had long treated Ye Jian as his daughter-in-law, seemed to have thought of something. He said something that seemed unrelated to the topic, “Little Ye probably didn’t just send me this videotape. Other than me, who else did she send it to?”
“One is in your hand, one was sent to Ye Zhifan, and one was sent to Staff Officer Du’s wife.” Xia Jinyuan didn’t want to hide what Ye Jian had done from his old man. Since the old man asked, he must have some plans.
“Ye Zhifan and his daughter arrived in the capital city yesterday. Madam Li personally welcomed them. Hou Zi also told me that Madam Li likes Ye Ying a lot,” Xia Jinyuan paused for a few seconds and added.
Commander Xia looked at him thoughtfully for a moment and said, “This recruit hasn’t enlisted yet, has she? Let’s wait until she’s enlisted.”
Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the father and son had thought of the same thing.
He wanted Ye Ying to join the military because he wanted Madam Li to be furious and settle the score with Ye Ying and Ye Zhifan.
Everyone in the capital city knew how ruthless Madam Li was.
Old Xia knew that he couldn’t do anything to Staff Officer Du with the videotape and Ye Ying joining the army, but he still let Ye Ying join the army first. It was obvious that he was thinking the same thing as him.
He smiled and teased, “Ye Jian hasn’t even passed our Xia family’s door and you’re already protecting her. I must tell her how concerned you are about her.”
Commander Xia indeed thought so. Ye Zhifan was in politics, so he couldn’t reach out his hand. Hence, he would let Madam Li, who liked to interfere in things, do it.
Madam Li would not let it slide if she was so badly humiliated.
