Political Commissar Qi stood there, feeling a bit of a headache.
It was the first time someone had pointed at his and Commander Gu Zechen's noses and scolded them, and the problem was that she wasn't wrong.
"What is this for? Xiao Chu, we didn't say we wouldn't give you an explanation!"
"We did make arrangements for Song Qian, but Yang Yunkai insisted on bringing her over!"
"And as for Yang Yunkai, we will absolutely not shield him!"
Li Yuchu gave Commander Gu Zechen a sideways glance.
"I don't believe you!"
"It is clear that Yang Yunkai did something wrong, yet you still intentionally or unintentionally make excuses for him."
"Song Qian clearly has issues, yet you keep talking about taking care of a widow. In that case, everyone should just get a divorce and marry a widow!"
"Talking nonsense!" Commander Gu Zechen was so angered by her unbridled words that he almost couldn't catch his breath!
Li Yuchu picked up her bag, gave him a sideways glance, turned around, and left!
There were plenty of places to complain; she wasn't afraid!
Anyway, she hadn't broken the law, nor had she slandered anyone. Yang Yunkai himself admitted they slept together; everyone heard it.
...
After she ran out in a huff, the whole room fell silent.
Political Commissar Qi looked at Commander Gu Zechen's indifferent expression.
"Zechen, this girl Xiao Chu has suffered a great grievance; don't be too hard on her!"
Commander Gu Zechen was speechless, as if he were some kind of violent person.
"Xiao Yu, send the stuff to her!"
After the guard left, Political Commissar Qi looked at Commander Gu Zechen with a face full of curiosity.
"You didn't take out all your savings for a wife just to give it to this girl, did you?"
"Although the higher-ups requested it repeatedly, you didn't have to give so much!"
"You must make Yang Yunkai pay it back later!"
Commander Gu Zechen lowered his head and didn't answer him. Political Commissar Qi continued to talk to himself.
"You are single, and she no longer has an engagement; why don't you two give it a try?"
Commander Gu Zechen pinched the bridge of his nose, "Stop talking nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense, but you are seven years older than her, which is a problem."
"Her family is so protective; they certainly wouldn't want her to find someone so much older."
Moreover, speaking from a selfish perspective, as a Political Commissar, he was truly afraid of having such an ancestor in the compound who would complain at the slightest disagreement. Who could stand that!
...
When Xiao Yu returned, Political Commissar Qi had already gone home.
"Report, the items have been delivered!"
"What did she say?"
"She said thank you!"
Commander Gu Zechen turned his head to look at him, "Tell the truth, did she scold me again?"
Xiao Yu was silent for a moment.
"Comrade Li said, don't think you can bribe her with these small favors. She has a firm will and won't be corrupted by sugar-coated bullets. Don't even think about being vague about the explanation she is owed!"
Commander Gu Zechen was almost laughed to anger; she really was a handful.
Compared to before, her temper had really worsened too much!
"Hmm, you can go out now!"
...
Xiao Yu looked at Commander Gu Zechen, who was standing with his back to him looking out the window, and felt aggrieved for him.
Commander Gu was on a mission the day Comrade Li arrived and only returned yesterday, yet today he was saddled with such a huge burden!
Moreover, what did he see?
Commander Gu was actually smoking!
He must have been angered to the extreme!
It was a good thing they weren't partners.
Otherwise, with someone like Comrade Li, even a saint could be driven crazy by her!
Her mouth could rattle off words that left others with no power to parry; even if it was a fallacious argument, no one could find a fault in it!
If he were to find a wife like that in the future, his mother would be angered to death eight times a day!
Could it be that those who look good are all this difficult to serve?
Just then, the person in charge of detaining Yang Yunkai came to report.
"Report, Regiment Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander Yang is shouting that he wants to see you, saying he was wronged!"
"He also said to take good care of Song Qian!"
Commander Gu Zechen said with an ambiguous tone,
"His own fiancée has been wronged to that extent, yet he still has the mood to care about others!"
"Ignore him, keep him detained!"
However, although Li Yuchu was making a fuss, what she said might not be untrue.
"Has the person sent to investigate Song Qian returned yet?"
"No."
Both of them knew there was definitely a problem; otherwise, that person was so skilled in their work that they wouldn't have failed to report back after a whole day.
"Follow the procedure to release Song Qian, but send someone to follow her!"
"By the way, spread the word about Li Yuchu making a scene with me, and say that I intend to shield Yang Yunkai and the widow!"
That person was his confidant and instantly understood his meaning and purpose.
"Yes!"
...
When only Commander Gu Zechen was left in the room, he leaned back lazily in his seat, a sneer and sarcasm flashing in his eyes, along with a hint of ferocity.
"Life-saving grace?"
In the darkness, he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, he sighed, picked up the phone at his side,
"Hello, this is Gu Zechen."
"I'm sorry, everything is because my work was not up to standard, causing your sister to suffer a grievance. Rest assured, I will definitely give her a complete and truthful explanation!"
He made the same phone call first to Eldest Brother Li, and then to Eldest Brother-in-law Li!
Who told him that her family was so protective?
To dare to be so blatantly protective during this time of turmoil, they really loved the little girl!
...
Li Yuchu, on the other hand, slept soundly without a care in the world, sleeping until past ten in the morning.
Just as she finished washing up and was preparing to eat, she heard the sound of Song Qian being sent back.
A look of triumph flashed in Song Qian's eyes, but she began to put on an act again.
"Yuchu, I have explained everything I needed to explain."
"There is really nothing between Yang Yunkai and me. I know you dislike me, so I will pack my things and leave immediately!"
Several family members on the side also spoke with sarcasm.
"Why should you leave?"
"If anyone should leave, it's someone else!"
"The organization will not frame any good person. Some people, relying on their maternal family having some ability, distort the truth,"
"and even went to complain to our superiors!"
Song Qian hurriedly tried to dissuade them.
"Don't say that about Chuchu, she is young, we should let her have her way!"
A woman who was friendly with her echoed,
"This kind of person is like a stinking rat ruining a whole pot of soup in our family courtyard. It's a good thing Deputy Battalion Commander Yang didn't marry her, otherwise, everyone would suffer!"
Song Qian retorted righteously,
"Don't say that, Chuchu is a good girl, she looks like she's from a painting, she deserves any kind of man!"
"Hahaha, this kind of donkey dung is shiny on the outside; only men with no ability would take a fancy to her, like some scoundrel or hooligan!"
Li Yuchu looked at the few people putting on an act and didn't back down at all.
"Who didn't brush their teeth this morning? It really stinks!"
She approached Song Qian step by step.
"How do you explain those marks on your neck?"
"No matter what nonsense you spout, don't forget the money you owe me."
"This was something Commander Gu personally promised yesterday!"
She looked at the few people on the side again.
"Haven't you sycophants received many benefits from her?"
"Look,"
"Aunt Liu is wearing shoes that she didn't want because they pinched her feet, yet she claims they were newly bought."
"Aunt Tang's jacket is one that her mother stopped wearing after she was slapped in the face while wearing it, calling it bad luck."
"Yes, yes, yes, and there's Aunt Song too."
"Last time I saw her winking and fawning over Eldest Brother Song. Don't believe me? Just go back and check if there is a handkerchief with a plum blossom pattern in Eldest Brother Song's clothes, and you'll know, won't you?"
Now, the complexions of those few people didn't look good.
However, they stiffened their necks and shouted,
"Don't try to sow discord."
Li Yuchu nodded as if it were a serious matter.
"Hmm, you have a good relationship, united and friendly!"
"In that case, since Song Qian owes me money, why don't you pay it back for her first?"
