Chapter 12: She Doesn’t Deserve to Wear the Uniform

“Listen everyone, I swear, every word I say here today is true and valid. If even one word is false, may I be struck by lightning! This woman…”

Suddenly.

“Wen Yanyan, what are you making a fuss about again? If you have something to say, go to headquarters. What does this look like? So disorderly.”

A man’s rough, booming voice, full of energy, cut through the air.

Wen Yanyan looked intently, her heart sinking. The man who came was the highest-ranking officer in this garrison camp, Liu Zhendong, the division commander.

Uh?

Did she make too much noise? Why did she attract him?

“Commander Liu, I’m not making a fuss, this is serious.”

She spoke the truth.

“So, you admit that everything you did before was nonsense?”

Liu Zhendong’s expression was serious.

“No matter what the situation is, settle it at headquarters. Xiao Zhang, maintain discipline, everyone else disperse!”

He was considering the impact.

“Yes!”

Xiao Zhang immediately carried out the order, while Wen Yanyan and Zhang Meimei followed the division commander to headquarters.

…

In the spacious and bright meeting room, four chairs surrounded a coffee table, and the three sat down.

“What exactly happened? Let’s talk.” Liu Zhendong’s brow was furrowed.

Zhang Meimei was still wiping her tears, sobbing and not speaking.

Wen Yanyan spoke.

“This is what happened, Commander, this soldier of yours has a problem with her thinking; she doesn’t deserve to wear this uniform.”

A pointed statement.

“You’re lying!”

Zhang Meimei retorted, her eyes red and swollen from crying.

“I’m not lying. It was your idea, and you gave me a packet of that powder, telling me to put it in the water cup for Nan Jue, who had just returned from a mission.”

Wen Yanyan finally spoke out, “The most infuriating thing is that she deliberately spread this around. Now everyone in the military dependents’ quarters knows, she deliberately made me unable to hold my head up!”

“Commander Liu, I didn’t, please don’t listen to her nonsense, she’s slandering me. I didn’t give her any powder, nor did I spread it around.”

Zhang Meimei’s tears flowed like rain.

Liu Zhendong was drinking tea from an enamel mug. Hearing Wen Yanyan’s words, he choked on his tea.

Cough cough cough!

He finally stopped coughing, his face flushed, and asked,

“Wen Yanyan, what did you just say? What kind of…what kind of medicine?”

He was shocked.

“It’s a type of r-a-p-e drug.”

Wen Yanyan deliberately used pinyin, making it clearer.

“Nonsense!”

Liu Zhendong slammed his hand on the table, so angry his eyebrows were about to fly off.

“You’re all making a mess! One dares to give it, and the other dares to use it! Can that kind of medicine be taken casually? It’s harmful to the body. Nan Jue is a second-class combat hero of our country. What if something happens to him? Who can take responsibility for this?!”

“Wen Yanyan, go back first, Doctor Zhang stay!”

Internal problems, internal solutions.

“Yes, Commander.”

Wen Yanyan left, having said what she needed to say. Black or white, there would be a result.

“Hey, wait a minute.”

Liu Zhendong called her back.

Uh?

Wen Yanyan hurriedly turned around.

He added, “Wen Yanyan, before this matter is investigated clearly, don’t spread rumors. Although you’re not a soldier, you’re a military dependent, so you should also pay attention to the impact. If what you said is true, I will definitely give you an explanation. Understand?”

“Understood, Commander Liu, don’t worry, I won’t spread rumors.”

Wen Yanyan agreed and left the meeting room. Liu Zhendong watched her leave, a question flashing in his eyes.

Hmm?

Why is this woman so obedient?

And she even used honorifics, ‘you.’ A few days ago, she was like a shrew.

…

Although Wen Yanyan agreed to leave, she didn’t go far. She hid in a secluded spot by a wall of the main headquarters building, where no one was around.

She was waiting for Zhang Meimei to come out.

…

In the meeting room.

“Zhang Meimei, I ask you, is what Wen Yanyan said true?”

Liu Zhendong’s expression was serious.

“She’s slandering me.”

Since Wen Yanyan left, Zhang Meimei stopped crying. Her pale face bore traces of dried tears, looking rather pitiful.

“Doctor Zhang, you are a soldier. You understand that I’m talking to you in what capacity now. Lying to me is deceiving the organization, deceiving your superiors!”

His tone was severe.

“Although Wen Yanyan is usually boisterous and talks nonsense, she’s childish and doesn’t have any ill intentions. Besides, she’s only eighteen years old, her thoughts are very simple. How would she know about aphrodisiacs? And how did she even get them?”

Commander Liu implied that he didn’t believe that the usually boisterous Wen Yanyan had the idea or the ability to do this.
