Chapter 367 - Tell Her to Leave
Chapter 367 Tell Her to Leave
“Mrs. Yi, please have some tea.” The guarding soldier makes a cup of tea and puts it in front of Xia Ning politely.
“Thank you.” Xia Ning smiles to nod. She takes up the tea for a sip.
She has been waiting in the reception room for half an hour and feels a little bored.
Half an hour ago, they drove to the C Military Region. After getting off the car, Yi Yunrui took her to the reception room and gave the guarding soldiers some instructions. He told her to wait for him here.
Seemingly, Yi Yunrui went to have a meeting. He looked quite anxious.
Yi Yunrui doesn’t seem to be able to come back soon. Xia Ning takes up a newspaper and continues to read the reports.
It takes her almost an hour to finish reading the newspaper. She notices the flowers and trees outside, then she puts down the paper and stands up to stretch herself.
She wants to go out for a walk.
Thinking about this, Xia Ning walks towards the door.
“Mrs. Yi!” Xia Ning has just taken some steps when the guard soldier comes to her in a hurry, “Mrs. Yi wants to go for a walk? Let me show you around…”
“No need. I am familiar with the paths here. You may go to work.” It has been for years. She can recognize the paths here even when she closes her eyes.
The soldier hesitates for a while. Commander Yi told him to stay around her.
When he is still thinking, Xia Ning has walked out of the room. The soldier follows her far behind.
The loud voices of soldiers who are practicing are sounded all over the army camp. Xia Ning looks towards the drill ground from far away. It is a hot day. Without the steely mind, they can’t persist in the practice.
The sun is not as fierce as it was at noon, but it is a sweltering day. Xia Ning finds a cool place to sit down. She looks at the people of the military region coming and going.
At the time, a Dongfeng Warrior stops not far away, and some army men get off and walk to the reception. Seemingly, they come to go through some procedures. The guarding soldiers are very polite to the comers. It can be told from one sight that they are leaders.
`
Soon, the leaders finish the procedures and come out. One of them sees Xia Ning. He frowns, then points at her with his finger and asks the young guard beside him, “Who is that woman? Why is she allowed to enter the military region?”
Not expecting that the commander will ask the question so directly, the guard feels shocked. He responds at once, “Commander, she is Commander Yi’s wife. She is waiting for Commander Yi.”
“Commander Yi…” The man thinks for a while. Then, he smiles coldly, “Do you mean Yi Yunrui?”
“Yes, Commander.”
“He has been suspended from his duty. Why does he bring his wife here? Tell her to leave. It is an important military camp here. Unrelated people are not supposed to come here!”
Hearing this, the guard feels shocked and gives out sweats.
How can he call Commander Yi’s wife an unrelated person?
Even though Commander Yi is suspended from his duty, he doesn’t have his title removed. He is still their commander. It is too impolite to tell his wife to leave!
“Well… Commander, I don’t think it is suitable.” The guard feels a little embarrassed, “She is the wife of Commander Yi, a senior to us…”
“Bullshit! He is your commander. Am I not? Tell her to leave within five minutes. If you fail to do that, I will tell you to leave!”
The guard frowns tightly. The man is a new field-grade officer. He is the adjutant of Colonel Fang, while Colonel Fang is the man who temporarily takes Yi Yunrui’s position. Compared with Yi Yunrui, even Colonel Fang is one grade inferior, let alone this Adjutant He.
Adjutant He is obviously humiliating Commander Yi by saying so! If he doesn’t want Mrs. Yi to stay, he can ask her politely to leave instead of using the words “tell her to leave”!
There was gossip earlier that the people Colonel Fang was to bring with him had some conflicts with Commander Yi. Now, seemingly, the rumors didn’t come for no reason.
However, as an unimportant soldier, he feels it a tough task. No matter which side he takes, he will offend someone…
He can’t offend neither of them. What can he do?
Suddenly, he has an idea!
He winks at another guarding soldier in the reception, who understands at once and runs out of the reception.
He has to report to Commander Yi about this issue at once.
It is in the Commander Office.
Commander Xie makes a cup of coffee for the two men there respectively. He takes a sip of the coffee and turns to Colonel Fang, “Youqi, when Yunrui is away. I may rely on you in the region. I am old and will retire in a few years. I fail to do what I want in many things now.”
Fang Youqi slightly lifts his lips, “Commander Xie is too modest. You were famous all over the world at that time. We are juniors and need to learn a lot from you. And, Commander Yi,” Fang Youqi turns to Yi Yunrui, “I have just come to the C Military Region. I am still not very familiar with some things here. I may need to bother you sometimes.”
Yi Yunrui drinks the coffee and doesn’t respond.
Fang Youqi looks at Yi Yunrui. He darkens his face, “Seemingly, Commander Yi has some disagreements about my coming here.”
Hearing this, Yi Yunrui turns to him. His sharp eyes gleam.
“Youqi, you take it wrong.” Yi Yunrui hasn’t spoken, while Commander Xie responds, “Yunrui always looks like this. You will get used to it. You two belong to the same military region. You may try to understand each other.”
Fang Youqi is a relative of Nie Zhiyuan, who is the husband of his elder sister. Yi Yunrui is temporarily suspended from his duty because of the Yasi Villa case. Fang Youqi comes to take over Yi Yunrui’s position. Nie Zhiyuan always has some conflicts with Yi Yunrui. It seems that Fang Youqi hates Yi Yunrui.
Just now, they had a military region meeting. Fang Youqi behaved quite arrogantly in front of the soldiers. He dared to openly interrupt Yi Yunrui’s speeches.
Yi Yunrui is the idol for the soldiers of the C Military Region. They consider him to be holy and inviolable. Fang Youqi’s behaviors make many soldiers displeased at once. Commander Xie feels ridiculous. Fang Youqi is really too naïve to realize the danger. He doesn’t understand who he has offended.
“Oh?” Fang Youqi smiles coldly, “I thought that Commander Yi didn’t think I was qualified enough to come to the C Military Region!”
“It is arranged by the management. I don’t have any disagreements.” Yi Yunrui responds indifferently. He puts down the coffee cup on the table and turns to Commander Xie, “Commander Xie, I believe that many people have got the news that I have been suspended from my duty. During this period, I am afraid that Commander Xie may need to keep an eye on things. Quite some people seem to be doing some things.”
Commander Xie nods. He understands Yi Yunrui’s meaning.
C City is a big city with quite a lot of criminals but with the least crime rate in the country. One of the reasons is that Yi Yunrui is here. Those powerful bosses don’t dare to take bold actions. Now, Yi Yunrui is suspended from his duty. He believes that there will be some changes shortly.
“I really admire Commander Yi’s sense of responsibility. However, Commander Yi, please don’t worry. I have come here. C City will only become better than before.”
Yi Yunrui slightly screws his eyes and glances at the time. It is time to leave.
This time, he comes back to the military region to deal with some handover procedures. Just now, in the region meeting, Fang Youqi made use of him. He dislikes this man very much.
He is not a narrow-minded man, but he feels very displeased to see what Fang Youqi has done.
“Commander, Colonel Fang, if there isn’t anything else, I may leave for now.” Yi Yunrui stands up and walks to the door.
When he closes the door, he hears Fang Youqi say to Commander Xie, “Commander Xia, I have a suggestion for you…”
Suggestion? Yi Yunrui smiles dismissively.
He turns around and sees a guard walking to him hurriedly. The guard sees him and starts to run. He seriously salutes, “Commander, it is urgent. Please go to the reception with me now.”
Yi Yunrui hasn’t responded, while Zhang Hai stops the guard, “Who do you think Commander Yi is? Why should we go with you?”
Seeing the guard anxious, He realizes that it is about Xia Ning at once!
“Does anything happen to my wife?” Yi Yunrui asks in a deep voice.
The guard nods, “Commander, please go to the reception. Or, Mrs. Yi will be kicked away soon.”
Yi Yunrui widens his eyes. At the time, Zhang Hai rushes to run first.
“Why are you still standing here? Go!” Adjutant He cries in a loud voice.
The sound is loud and attracts Xia Ning’s attention. She looks at them surprisedly.
The guard sees Xia Ning looking at them. He thinks for a while and says, “Commander, Commander Yi is coming. Mrs. Yi is just waiting for him here. Or, can we ask Mrs. Yi to go back to the reception room? It is hot outside. We may ask her to stay inside the reception room.”
“It is because she is the wife of Commander Yi that we can’t break the rules! Tell her to go outside. Naturally, Commander Yi will go to pick her up. Go!”
The guard feels very helpless. Why hasn’t Xiaodong come back? It is impossible for him to ask the wife of Commander Yi to go outside!
If so, he won’t be able to stay in the Military Region any longer!
“What are you boy hesitating? Go!” Adjutant He finds that the guard doesn’t go. He bursts into a fury. He kicks at the guard forcefully on his foot, “Go to tell her to leave. Or you may wait and see!”
The guard is suddenly kicked. He frowns tightly, then strokes his foot, and staggers towards Xia Ning.
“What’s wrong with that commander?” Xia Ning sees what happens. She guesses that it has something to do with her.
The guard purses his lips and says embarrassedly, “Mrs. Yi, please don’t be mad at me. I don’t have any other choices… Adjutant He told me to ask you to leave…”
Ask her to leave?
“Leave for where? If it is inconvenient, I may go back to the reception room. Rui may come out very soon.”
“Mrs. Yi, Adjutant He meant that you couldn’t stay in the military region. He told you to go out of the region to wait.” When he speaks, the guard doesn’t dare to look at Xia Ning’s face.
Xia Ning glances at Adjutant He and sees him looking at her arrogantly. She feels her heart sink.
She is the wife of a commander. She has the right to stay in the military region. The man directly tells her to leave. What does he mean?
Xia Ning understands the difficulty of the guard. She responds, “I see. Let me talk with him.”
Then, Xia Ning goes towards Adjutant He. She politely greets him, “Commander, I am the wife of Yi Yunrui. My husband will be here very soon. Can I wait for him in the reception room for a while?”
Xia Ning doesn’t say so maliciously. However, Adjutant He mistakes her that she makes use of her husband to put pressure on him. He freezes his face at once, “You can wait outside. I haven’t received any information from the management that you can stay in the military region!”
