Su Mei tried to help the two up, but Ruan Jianhua pushed her away.

Looking into those dark eyes, they seemed like the deepest, darkest wells in the abyss.

It seemed like something had struck Koh Samui.

"Su Mei, you abandoned your husband and daughter and deceived a hero. I believe the leaders of the military region will give my father justice."

Abandoning her husband and daughter? Deceiving a hero?

The crowd was in an uproar.

Looking into Su Mei's eyes at Ruan Xiaochun, her small frame seemed to hold endless hatred.

Why? Wasn't she timid and cowardly before?

"You...you're back too?"

Xiaochun's eyes suddenly flickered, and she stared blankly at Su Mei.

came back?

Could it be...?

Ruan Xiaochun looked away. "Everyone in the village knows you've been going shopping and eating with strange men."

She looked at the gate of the military district and shouted again.

"Ruan Xiaochun implores the leadership to uphold justice for Xiaochun's father, Ruan Jianhua. My father, Ruan Jianhua, joined the army in 1962 and served as a battalion commander in the 1114th Regiment of the 372nd Division. During his military service, he participated in dozens of battles, large and small, and received numerous first-class, second-class, and third-class merits. In the support of the Xisha self-defense counterattack, he was injured in the brain by a bomb while covering his comrades. After his discharge, the state arranged for his wife to work at the military hospital. In the three years, seven months, and ten days since my father's injury, Comrade Su Mei has only returned home once, made three phone calls, and sent home 36.8 yuan in wages. My grandmother, on the other hand, sent her 1,457 yuan, along with countless snacks, drinks, and other necessities. The aunties in the village saw her going in and out of a shopping mall with a male doctor from the military region, behaving intimately. Only then did my grandmother and I find out. I only want to come to the military region to seek justice. Now, she has produced a divorce agreement, claiming it was signed by my father, but my father has never mentioned having such an agreement. I beg the high-ranking officer to uphold justice for my father!"

Every word and phrase clearly explained the cause and effect of the matter, each word like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil.

Everyone around stared blankly at that tiny figure.

"Is this for real?"

"This young girl mentioned the number of times and the amount of money clearly, so it must be true."

"Oh dear, you can never truly know a person's heart just by looking at their face. This woman looks so gentle and weak, how could she be so vicious?"

"Didn't you hear? That woman has a lover!"

"Tsk tsk, any family that gets a daughter-in-law like that is doomed."

When Officer Yu from the Political Department arrived, his mind was reeling. This girl was making such a scene; she was practically trying to skin him alive.

He was just too lazy to get involved in these things, he never expected it to turn out like this...

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Su Mei felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She couldn't let Ruan Xiaochun act so recklessly.

Su Mei immediately knelt down in front of the two of them, crying out, "Xiaochun, you're trying to frame your mother!"

"The officers and leaders in the military region all said that the divorce agreement was valid. Your father's letter before his accident also mentioned the divorce. I've kept it a secret for you for over three years, and now you actually..."

Su Mei looked heartbroken and on the verge of death.

At this point, the onlookers also began to hesitate.

Seeing that a large crowd was gathering, Officer Yu quickly stepped forward, "Young comrade, I know you have your concerns, can we go inside and talk this out?"

Ruan Xiaochun glanced at Officer Yu, "Xiaochun isn't trying to make things difficult for Officer Yu, but going in with you today will only make things worse. Xiaochun just wants justice. Grandma said, the leadership absolutely will not allow soldiers to bleed and weep outside the battlefield!"

The officer was caught in a chokehold, unsure whether to vomit or swallow.

Can he say it's wrong?

Watching the little girl kneeling there with her back straight, kowtowing and shouting again and again.

Her delicate voice had become hoarse.

Officer Yu's face darkened; he knew very well that this matter could not be resolved easily today.

He was considering whether or not to ask his supervisor for help.

Just then, the sound of a car roaring came from behind.

A military green jeep drove this way.

Upon seeing the license plate, Officer Yu panicked.

"Young comrade, I'll have our leader come. Get up quickly."

Su Mei reached out to pull people away.

Xiao Chun's eyes had already located the person in that car; it was an important figure.

This is her only chance.

Xiaochun broke free from her shackles.

He ran towards the vehicle like a madman.

With a "thud!" she knelt on the ground.

Holding his military-green bag above his head, he pleaded, "Please, sir, do me justice!!"

The child's clear and loud voice broke through the roar of the car.

The sounds of brakes screeching intertwined.

"What's wrong?"

"Reporting to the commander, a child rushed out and blocked the car, saying that he needs your help."

"What?"

The man looked grim. Today, reporters from the city had come to cover the event, but he hadn't expected to encounter something like this.

"Xiao Zhou, I'm sorry, I'll go downstairs to take a look."

Zhou Yun's eyes flashed as he looked at the crowd outside, instinctively sensing that it was news.

"Commander Cao, I'll go down with you."

Xiao Zhang quickly got out of the driver's seat to open the door for Cao Aiguo.

When Officer Yu and Su Mei saw Cao Aiguo get off the bus, their hearts sank.

Cao Aiguo walked to the front of the car and looked at the thin figure kneeling on the ground, with a big man kneeling next to him.

"Young comrade, what decision do you want me to make?"

Ruan Xiaochun raised her head and looked at the old man in front of her, whose hair was a little gray, who was wearing a military uniform and whose top button was fastened tightly. His face had a weathered look but no sharpness.

Instead, it reveals a gentle strength.

She looked at the old commander opposite her.

With a choked voice, she said, "Chief, Xiaochun just wants to seek justice for her father."

Cao Aiguo looked at the tall man beside him and felt a sense of familiarity. "Have I seen you before?"

Xiao Chun's eyes lit up. "Commander, my father, Ruan Jianhua, was a battalion commander in the 1114th Regiment of the 372nd Division. He was injured in the brain by a bomb while covering his comrades during the self-defense counterattack in the Xisha Islands."

Cao Aiguo frowned slightly for a few seconds. He had witnessed too many soldiers sacrifice their lives, and there were too many soldiers whose faces and names did not match.

But he remembered what happened to this comrade.

Looking into Ruan Jianhua's clear eyes now, he seems a bit silly.

I was greatly alarmed.

He stepped forward and took his arm, saying, "Comrade Ruan, stand up and talk."

"Yes, little girl, get up quickly."

Zhou Yun stepped forward to help Xiao Chun up, his eyes burning with a fierce gossip spirit. "Don't worry, Commander Cao will definitely stand up for you."

"Thank you, sister."

It was so soft and tender that Zhou Yun's heart melted.

Xiao Chun turned to look at Cao Aiguo and recounted everything that had just happened, word by word.

Cao Aiguo's face darkened.

"That's not how it is, boss, it's not what she said."

Su Mei couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out from behind the crowd.

"Commander Cao, my daughter just can't accept this. She has no idea what the truth is!"

Seeing Su Mei cover Xiao Chun's mouth, Zhou Yun immediately stepped in front of Xiao Chun.

"This must be Comrade Su Mei. Commander Cao hasn't said anything about this yet, why are you in such a hurry? Doesn't the child have the right to question?"

Su Mei's expression was as if she had eaten shit.

He could only turn to look at Commander Cao and say, "Commander Cao, I really didn't lie."

Cao Aiguo's sharp eyes swept over the woman in front of him.

Even if the items were genuine, he was still very dissatisfied with Su Mei.

Treating a soldier and a child like this is definitely not the behavior of a good comrade.

Su Mei's legs went weak; she felt immense pressure in front of a general who had experienced countless battles.

"Commander Cao, this young comrade's suspicions are not without merit. I think the best approach is to find a specialist. By the way, I know Xing Yong, the captain of our criminal investigation team. When I interviewed them before, they had an expert who specializes in examining handwriting. If you're interested, I can help you get in touch with him?"

Cao Aiguo looked at Zhou Yun's cunning eyes.

I instantly guessed what she was thinking.

This matter cannot be overlooked, as it represents the image of the entire military region.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Criminal investigation team? Handwriting experts?

Su Mei's heart sank completely, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

What should I do?

Don't panic. So what if you're a note-taking expert?

Ruan Jianhua was dumbfounded. As long as she insisted that it was his signature, even the Emperor himself couldn't accuse her of forgery. After all, she was the one who taught Ruan Jianhua his name.

Su Mei took a deep breath, knowing there was no turning back.

He forced a smile and said, "Okay, since the chief agrees, I have no objections."

Cao Aiguo smiled and said, "Comrade Su, don't worry, the results are a good thing."

Su Mei could only manage a wry smile. "Yes, the commander is right."

Cao Aiguo gestured to Zhou Yun, "Xiao Zhang, take Comrade Zhou Yun to make a phone call."

Zhou Yun walked to the sentry post and called the city's criminal investigation team directly.

She'll definitely follow up on this; it's bound to be a major bombshell.

However, the most urgent thing is to find out whether this divorce agreement is real or fake!

"Hello, this is Zhou Yun, a reporter from the Xinhua News Agency of the city. Could you please help me find Captain Xing Yong of the Criminal Investigation Team?"
