Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 73 All parties gather together
Battalion Commander Cheng held a banner in his hand and looked at Shi Xia and the four people beside and behind her.

These people...can't catch up with the python!
"Shi Xia, I'm here on behalf of the army to present you with a banner. Thank you for your help. You are a good comrade."

Battalion Commander Cheng presented a banner, which Shi Xia politely accepted.

"Captain Cheng, you're too polite. The military and the people are one family. Any fisherman would do that."

"Comrade Shi is too modest. No one else can risk their own safety to drive away the fishing boats that crossed the border and help us find the island."

"It's all what I should do."

"Comrade Shi, this is your letter of commendation..."

Shi Xia and Captain Cheng exchanged pleasantries for five minutes.

The four people who came to capture Shi Xia looked at each other.

No one said that Shi Xia had any connection with the army?

Isn’t she just an orphan with no money and power?
Is an orphan worthy of the army’s grand display of sending her a banner?
There's a feeling that things are going to go wrong.

"Comrade Shi Xia, what are you doing?"

"They said someone reported me for speculation and profiteering. Although I didn't do anything like that, as a good comrade, I am willing to cooperate with the investigation. I believe the Party and the government will definitely find out the truth, clear my name, and not wrongly accuse a good person."

"Shi Xia is right. So... I'll go with you. I want to see who slanders a good comrade."

The four of them felt a pang in their hearts, and their premonition became even stronger.

It always feels like they have hit a wall.

If Captain Cheng wanted to go, it would be useless for the four men to stop him.

Soon, the four of them, along with Shi Xia, Uncle Cao, and Accountant Xu, boarded the army's ship.

The four men were surrounded.

For just a moment, they felt that they were the ones who committed the crime.

The boat started moving, and Shi Xia, who was separated, was telling Captain Cheng what had happened.

"This Chen family is really not a good thing!"

"During Wen Cheng'an's political review, we contacted the Chen family. They only spoke ill of him at the time, but our investigators didn't believe everything they said. Instead, they visited several families to gather information."

Shi Xia tilted her head.

"Is there still this?"

"Of course, the facts prove that even if you don't go...it's impossible to hide the Chen family's troubles."

"The neighbors all said Wen Cheng'an was a good kid. The Chen family beat and scolded him. At first, the neighbors tried to persuade him, but the Chen family was narrow-minded and always looked for opportunities to retaliate. Later, when Wen Cheng'an was about seven or eight years old, he personally went to the neighbors' house to thank them for their help, but he didn't want to bring trouble to them."

Captain Cheng sighed and felt a bit distressed for Wen Cheng'an.

"Neighbors said that after that, Wen Cheng'an became a completely different person. He was full of thorns and was always against the Chen family. He didn't eat at home, but always found food outside."

“He appears to be very mean to his neighbors, but he often secretly sends them fish.”

Captain Cheng's voice came and went, and Shi Xia seemed to see a thin and stubborn little boy, rising and falling in the sea. It was obviously difficult for him to support himself, but he still remembered the people who had helped him.

The boat slowly approached the shore and a group of people got off.

One of the four wanted to leave first, but was stopped by Captain Cheng.

"Let's go together."

The man smiled bitterly and said "OK". He was so anxious that sweat was coming out of his head and he kept following with his head down.

The group soon arrived at a two-story courtyard with a quiet environment and a central location.

At first glance, there are two words to describe it - rich.

Shi Xia was brought in, followed by Captain Cheng and others.

"Why did you come back just now? The Chen family is urging us to come back!"

A man came out of the house and asked impatiently, only to be met with several pairs of eyes staring at him.

What's going on? Why are people from the army here?
A few minutes later, the leader of the office came out to negotiate with Captain Cheng.

"Captain Cheng, it's not right to interfere in local affairs."

"Who wants to interfere? Shi Xia is my eldest niece, is it not okay for me to come and see her?"

"Besides, a good comrade whom our army is grateful to has been arrested. I must know why, right?" The leader of the office was speechless: What a niece out of thin air.

"Okay, you can watch."

Anyway, they have sufficient evidence.

Soon, Liao San was brought up to confront Shi Xia.

"Comrade Liao San, please tell me how Comrade Shi Xia approached you about speculation and profiteering."

This question is about the process of speculation and profiteering?
The charges have been determined first.

Liao San raised his head tremblingly.

"What speculation? I wouldn't dare do such a thing!"

The young leader sitting in the middle stared at Liao San with wide eyes and said, "Comrade Liao San, please tell the truth. Someone at home is waiting for you to go back."

It was a naked threat, and everyone present understood it.

Liao San raised his head, looked at Shi Xia, and then at the young leader in the middle.

He received news last night that his grandmother was rescued by Shi Xia.

Liao San and Shi Xia looked at each other.

Shi Xia had no expression, just silently calculating the time. It was about time.

"My eldest grandson—my eldest grandson—"

Grandma Liao has arrived.

A light flashed in Liao San's eyes and he looked towards the gate.

grandmother!

Grandma Liao banged on the door and shouted at Liao San: "San'er, San'er—"
Liao called out "Grandma" three or five times, then turned around to look at the young leader in the middle whose expression had changed drastically.

"Comrade Shi Xia went to buy bamboo poles on behalf of Hai Sandao. I was just helping to introduce them. There is no speculation between us. I have said this many times."

"Furthermore, we never conducted any money transactions from the beginning to the end, so how could we be talking about speculation?"

After Liao San finished speaking, Uncle Cao, the village chief, suddenly stood up.

"That's it? You arrested Shi Xia just because of this?"

"What are you doing? I'm the head of the village, and you're arresting a little girl without asking me. What are you doing?"

Cao Cunzhang suddenly attacked and questioned, and Accountant Xu assisted him by taking out the prepared documents.

"We are planning to plant kelp and laver on Haisan Island. We have reported the project to the municipality, and they support it and have even stamped their seal."

Accountant Xu took the stamped document and started crying.

"Life on our island is tough... We don't have land, and we rely on fishing for a living. We finally came up with the idea of ​​growing seaweed and kelp in the sea, but how did that become speculation?"

"You are bullying us, the working people! You are bullying us!"

Accountant Xu and Village Chief Cao hugged each other and cried bitterly, their sincere emotions moved the people who were attracted by Grandma Liao at the door.

The young leader in the middle was already sweating profusely.

The original intention was to repay the Chen family a favor, how did it come to this?

"bang bang bang"

"Open the door!"

"Why close the door in broad daylight?"

Someone else is coming.

The gate was opened and Director Ma from the commune arrived.

Accountant Xu and Village Chief Cao rushed over as if they had seen their relatives.

"Director Ma, you're here. You have to make the decision for us!"

"You two grown men, get up! Aren't you ashamed?"

Village Chief Cao wiped his tears and said in a desperate tone, "It's better to lose face than to lose your life. Our good comrades have all been wronged."
