1607 It Does Not Matter Even if You Get Into Trouble
“Let’s go. We’ll talk inside!” Zhao Wu said sternly.
Qiao Mei was not the party involved in this matter, so she need not go into the small dark room to be interrogated. She and Xia Zhe sat in Zhao Wu’s office and the three of them chatted.
“Sister-in-law, what’s going on? If I know that you’re there, I would have sent a nicer vehicle to pick you up!” Zhao Wu said in frustration.
“Do you mean you want to drive a tank in the mountains?” Qiao Mei teased.
“If you like it, it’s not impossible for me to put up an application for it! As long as you let me become godfather to Xia Fan and Xia Xing, it’s not a problem for me to fly a fighter jet!” Zhao Wu said excitedly.
“Look at him! If you really do this, I’ll complain to your father immediately! I’ll ask him to teach you a lesson!” Xia Zhe said.
Qiao Mei noticed that Xia Zhe did not look worried at all and asked curiously, “Why are you able to grin so widely when her husband has such a long face? I’ve caused you trouble!”
“I can’t wait for you to cause trouble for me! Otherwise, you always solve everything on your own and there’s no way for me to show off my capability,” Xia Zhe said as he patted Qiao Mei’s head dotingly.
Zhao Wu looked at Xia Zhe in disdain. This did not sound like something Xia Zhe would say at all! How disgusting! Were all married men like this?
“Then why didn’t you say the same thing when I made a mistake?” Zhao Wu asked.
“Why don’t you go take a hike! How can you compare yourself to my wife!” Xia Zhe said disdainfully.
Qiao Mei was so amused that she laughed out loud. She knew better than to ask about job postings in the army, so she did not ask Zhao Wu about why he was here and also did not ask about the whereabouts of Zhang Yong and Zhuang Hua.
While the few of them were chatting, the interrogation downstairs came to an end. Lu Lin lied throughout the entire session. She even made up a story about how Qian’e had attacked her son first.
Qian’e sat there quietly and looked at Lu Lin quibbling in a dramatic manner. Her temper was now much better than before. It had probably been honed from doing business with the Han Corporation. Compared to Lu Lin, Han Chen was even more tedious to handle.
“Zhao Wu, what should we do next? How do you people resolve a situation like this?” Qiao Mei asked.
“We’ll continue with the investigation and see what the rest of the people say. We’ll gather evidence before making a decision. However, I think the outcome is very clear and there’s no need for us to continue investigating,” Zhao Wu said as he looked at the written statements.
“You should investigate it! You must investigate it!” Qiao Mei said firmly.
“Why?” Zhao Wu asked.
“She has done many terrible and outrageous things before. It’s not just this matter. As long as you continue to investigate, everyone will tell you everything,” Qiao Mei whispered.
Zhao Wu nodded, noting what she said. Before the investigation was completed, Lu Lin and Qian’e would have to stay within the army camp and be kept under supervision. Mao Wei was allowed to leave with the child first and get him settled.
Qiao Mei was actually quite worried about Qian’e being alone at the army camp. She also applied to stay there and Xia Zhe brought her to his room. Before the investigation was completed, Qiao Mei’s activities were restricted to the army camp.
Mao Wei sent his son back to his parents’ place for two days. Zhao Wu investigated the matter very quickly and found out everything about what Lu Lin did in the past. The moment one person took the initiative to tell the truth, the rest of the people also followed. Liu Yun and the other women also told the truth of how they suffered at Lu Lin’s hands previously.
After Zhao Wu sorted out the information, he submitted the report to the superiors. The superiors decided to disqualify Mao Wei from this promotion assessment and to transfer him to the border to serve as an ordinary soldier. They felt that he would come back better after a few years of suffering.
After so many tortuous days, it was time for Qian’e to go back.
“My intention is to come here to relax, but I didn’t expect to cause you so much trouble!” Qian’e said in frustration.
“What are you saying! You even helped me get rid of a dangerous person! When we first moved in, her son injured Xia Fan. If not for the fact that my baby was not seriously injured, I would have dealt with them long ago!” Qiao Mei said.
“What? Xia Fan was injured? If I had known earlier, I would have given her a good beating to vent my anger!” Qian’e said angrily.
After some observation during this period of time, Zhao Wu began to have a good impression of Qian’e. He quietly went over to Xia Zhe and asked, “Is this person married? Is she dating anyone?”
