Chapter 2183: Remove The Military Uniform
“Yes. Ask them to go ahead. I’ll follow.”
Staff Officer Du nodded. He took a pen and a notebook from his desk. Then, he waited for the clerk to leave. He looked at his wife, whose face had changed again. “Wait for me with Jiayi,” he said with a sigh. “I’ll come and ask you when the time comes.
“But I can tell you now that if there’s nothing else on your side, we’ll mainly interrogate Ye Ying about the matter of Ye Jian cheating to get into military school. We won’t deal with the rest for the time being.
“In other words, it’s impossible to produce the results you want.”
“That won’t do! I disagree!” Madam Li snapped without thinking. “Since I can put her in the military uniform, I can naturally make her take it off!
“Go over and interrogate her first. If she doesn’t behave, send guards over. I’ll teach her a lesson! Say something for me. If you don’t want to be too embarrassed, you’d better take the initiative. Have her take off her military uniform and scram back to the Southern Province!”
It was already considered a light punishment for Ye Ying to take off her military uniform and scram back to the Southern Province. That girl had to understand the consequences of lying to her, Li Chenglan!
Staff Officer Du, who knew his wife’s temper, did not say anything else. He told Du Jiayi to take good care of her and left the office.
The General Staff’s office building was not in the military headquarters but on another street in the capital. Staff Officer Du did not have a special office in the military headquarters. The office where Madam Li and Du Jiayi were resting for the time being was left empty for the lower-level authorities who came to the headquarters to study.
As soon as he left, Madam Li sat in the office, which was much smaller than her husband’s. She would go back and forth between standing and sitting.
Her private phone could not be used in the military here, so there was no signal. She couldn’t even call Ye Zhifan to ask him anything.
After about 10 minutes, Madam Li said to Du Jiayi in a low voice, “Go to the conference room and check the situation! Go see if they’ll let you in.”
Du Jiayi had long wanted to go. Now that she had received Madam Li’s instructions, she immediately walked out of the office.
It was impossible for her to enter the conference room. Two guards reached out and stopped her. “Stop! The conference room is out of bounds. Return immediately!”
“I’m sorry, I’m looking for Staff Officer Du. Please inform him that it’s very important.” Du Jiayi immediately brought up her father to see if the guards could make an exception.
The guards had received instructions to not let anyone in and did not make an exception. He expressionlessly ‘invited’ Jiayi to leave quickly.
Even if one passed layers of checks when one entered the heavily guarded military headquarters, it didn’t mean one could walk around freely.
Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan both couldn’t enter.
The two of them came straight from the other end of the corridor while led by a guard. Hence, Du Jiayi caught sight of them when she turned around.
Du Jiayi’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the young officer walking side by side with Ye Jian. She hurriedly looked away.
Xia Jinyuan!
That was right, he was Xia Jinyuan. When he glanced at her earlier, she seemed to have lost her life.
The transformation he underwent was indeed a huge one. If not for his familiar facial features and her mother’s reminder, she would not have recognized him.
He had a sharp gaze, a handsome face, and a majestic military aura. In just a short moment, she had already memorized his appearance.
Whether it was his teenage self or his current self, she could not help but feel afraid every time she met him. She was so afraid that she instinctively drove herself to stay away from him.
Du Jiayi didn’t dare to look at him any longer. She was afraid that his murderous gaze would sweep over her again.
