Chapter 169: Proof

“Forgive me?”

Li Xinyue wasn’t a petty person, but she wasn’t a saint either.

If she easily forgave this matter today, she might face endless trouble in the future, because she knew too much!

Just driving a car could get her reported. If her medical skills were revealed later, wouldn’t people directly label her as an enemy agent?

“Comrade Section Chief, please don’t apologize yet.”

“Xu’s attitude towards me just now wasn’t the attitude towards a comrade.”

“I’m not stupid. He treated me like a class enemy just now.”

“Since you brought me here today, I just want to ask: what crime have I committed?”

“My Li family has been loyal to the party for three generations. I’m sure you must have investigated my identity and the army.”

“I just don’t know what kind of big mistake I’ve made.”

“A mistake so big that Xu dared to treat me like a criminal, even refusing me a sip of water!”

“The People’s Liberation Army is the people’s army, and soldiers are the backbone of our people.”

“As a military wife, soldiers are not only my relatives, but also my family.”

“To be honest, I’ve always been proud of my status as a military wife.”

“But today, I’m very sad.”

“If I don’t get a reasonable explanation for this matter, I won’t leave this place!”

Qin’s face turned red and white.

Chen Mingchuan was someone the army commander specifically requested, someone the division commander specifically wanted.

He personally investigated his family’s background, including his wife and family!

Their family background was as clean as a freshly washed plate!

Even if someone reported them, he could only ask a few questions as a matter of routine. Without any evidence of her being a spy, he couldn’t just put a label on her!

This Xu Yang seemed to be getting too big for his britches, thinking that the A Division was his own!

Qin Jinhua was furious, but he couldn’t show it yet.

“Comrade Li, don’t get angry.”

“I will give you an explanation after this matter is clarified.”

“Here’s the thing, today you drove Comrade Xiao Nan’s car out, and someone reported that you are not a rural person.”

What?

Li Xinyue was a little confused: “Because I can drive, someone suspects I’m not from the countryside?”

“Also, I want to ask: is there something wrong with not being from the countryside?”

“Not being from the countryside means being a spy?”

“Are all the military wives in the A Division from rural areas?”

“I ask you: what law says that rural people can’t drive?”

“Did you two make that rule?”

This woman was pretty sharp!

Section Chief Qin shook his head repeatedly: “No, no, no, that’s not what I meant.”

“The army is a serious place.”

“Someone reported it, so we have to investigate.”

“But we just want to understand the situation and go through the process. We didn’t say you are a spy.”

“Heh.”

Li Xinyue laughed angrily!

“Section Chief, you just want to understand the situation, but some comrades treated me like a spy!”

“I don’t know how to explain this.”

“Let’s do this. Please bring the division commander and the political commissar here. I will prove myself in front of the leaders!”

“Xiao Li…”

If this matter went up to the higher-ups, he would be held responsible.

Qin was in a dilemma.

Was this going to be a case of protecting each other?

Li Xinyue wasn’t someone who hadn’t seen leaders before.

Her face darkened: “Section Chief, it’s not that I’m being unreasonable.”

“If this matter is easily let go, people might report me all the time!”

“This matter has had a very bad impact on me!”

“I will not let this go!”

“If you say that there is no responsibility for random reporting, then fine, I’ll let it go today.”

“From tomorrow onwards, you can just wait for me to report you every day!”

Report every day?

Wouldn’t that throw the entire unit into chaos?

Chief Qin’s face turned even uglier. He glared at Xu Yang with hatred and turned to leave.

Xu Yang had lost the spirit he had before.

At this moment, he was filled with resentment towards Wu Liang, feeling like he had brought this trouble upon himself.

Of course, there was another reason why he treated Li Xinyue this way.

During a year-end evaluation, he had always believed that Chen Mingchuan had taken his spot, otherwise, the second-class merit would have been his.

Section Chief Qin left, and Xu Yang immediately followed, also going to make a phone call.

However, he returned quickly.

Soon after, the division commander and the political commissar arrived.

Section Chief Qin had probably already explained the situation, and both of them had grim faces.

Commander Xiao was furious: “Qin Jinhua, you bastard! What are you doing? Write a thorough self-criticism, and I’ll see that your political department gets a good education and rectification!”

Turning around, Commander Xiao looked at Li Xinyue: “Comrade Li!”

“Commander!”

Seeing Commander Xiao, Li Xinyue immediately stood up.

Commander Xiao waved his hand: “Sit down. Comrade Li, I’m sorry you’ve been wronged.”

“You’re amazing, not only are you good at medicine, but you also know how to drive?”

Li Xinyue smiled shyly: “Commander, thank you for the compliment!”

“To be honest, I actually know quite a lot of things, but it’s just a smattering of knowledge!”

“Not proficient!”

“Hahaha… What else do you know? Tell me!”

Commander Xiao laughed.

Li Xinyue’s face flushed, but she didn’t hesitate to boast:

“Besides knowing some medicine and driving, I can also cook delicious food and make beautiful clothes.”

“I was a Three Good Student and an active student from elementary school to junior high school.”

“If it weren’t for the school closures during those years, I would have definitely gone to high school and then university.”

“I have a good talent, and my grandmother was a standard lady of the upper class. When I was young, she taught me everything she knew.”

“So, besides those things, I can also write stories, poems, and draw. I can compose songs, dance folk dances.”

“Oh, and I can also play the drums and the suona!”

After hearing this long list, everyone was truly surprised!

My goodness, is this really a woman from the countryside?

She doesn’t seem that old, and she knows so many things, she’s not simple!

Commander Xiao looked approving: “Alright, Comrade Li, I didn’t expect you to be a treasure chest!”

“Then tell them how you learned to drive!”

Li Xinyue nodded: “Commander, how I learned isn’t important, what matters is proving that I’ve been driving for a long time.”

“Commander, do you have a long-distance phone here?”

Commander Xiao nodded: “Yes. Qin Jinhua, get someone to bring the keys.”

“Yes!”

It turned out that there was a small room next to the interrogation room, and there was an outside line phone in the room.

Li Xinyue gave a phone number, and Section Chief Qin cautiously made the call: “Hello, is this the Red Ridge Commune Stone Factory?”

“Yes, who is this?”

Section Chief Qin immediately introduced himself: “This is the Security Department of the a Division, my name is Qin.”

“Please find your factory manager, Liu Daming, we have something to ask him about.”

As luck would have it, the person who answered the phone was Factory Manager Liu.

“Hello, hello. I’m Liu Daming, what can I do for you?”

Section Chief Qin asked directly: “Factory Manager Liu, I’m Chief Qin Jinhua of the Security Department of the A Division.”

“There’s something I need to ask you about today, I hope you’ll tell me the truth.”
