Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

The interrogation ended with Deng Ke being interrogated.

He was dressed in neat work clothes, his face tired and helpless. He remained silent and frank throughout, without any attempt to evade or make excuses.

Wang Song looked serious and asked in a deep voice.

"Director Deng, did you have prior knowledge or participate in your wife and niece's premeditated crimes, framing of military family members, and spreading rumors to cause trouble?"

Deng Ke slowly lowered his eyes, nodded gently, his tone full of helplessness and anger.

"I was unaware of it. I was on the night shift all day yesterday and didn't get home until after 9 p.m. When I got back, I overheard them talking in private and that's how I found out about it."

His eyes blazed with deep disappointment and anger, and his words were earnest:

"After I learned the truth, I immediately gave her a severe scolding. I told her that she shouldn't have done such a thing."

"But the piglet had already been strangled and buried, there was nothing I could do."

"However, I didn't expect that this foolish woman would make one mistake after another, and actually wrote another letter of complaint, making the matter so big."

"It was my fault for not disciplining her properly. I'm sorry, Comrade Xiao. I hope Captain Wang will consider that this is her first offense and be lenient with her."

Now, the whole truth has come to light.

Liu Cuiping was the mastermind, Liu Suier was the principal offender, and Sun Daming was an accomplice.

As a logistics officer in the military, Deng Ke failed to properly manage and discipline his family. Although he did not participate in the crime, he knew about it afterward but failed to report it and harbored the thief, which violated the discipline of military officers and constituted a mistake.

The case has been thoroughly investigated, the evidence is conclusive, the confessions are true, and the guilt and responsibility are clear.

In accordance with military discipline and public security regulations, and taking into account the principal and accomplice's faults and the severity of the circumstances, Wang Song determined the final outcome on the spot.

Liu Cuiping was the mastermind, narrow-minded and maliciously retaliatory. She instigated others to steal and damage property, falsely accuse and frame military families, and cause trouble, disrupting the order of the military compound. Her actions were egregious and had a very bad impact. She was sentenced to six months in prison, her preferential treatment status as a military family member was revoked, she was ordered to make a public apology, she was permanently removed from the military family compound, she was added to the military's blacklist of security personnel, and she was criticized in a circular to the entire battalion.

Liu Sui'er was the principal offender and perpetrator of the theft. Ignorant and greedy, she committed the crime by stealing livestock from the military farm and then burying the bodies to destroy evidence; her actions were heinous. However, considering her good attitude in admitting her guilt and truthfully confessing to the crime, she is given a lighter sentence. She is ordered to publicly apologize to Comrade Xiao Re, the person in charge of the farm, and to compensate for the economic losses of 200 yuan. She is also fined 300 yuan. From this day forward, she is expelled from the military and is forbidden from setting foot on the barracks.

Sun Daming abused his power as a safety officer, targeted others for personal gain, neglected his duties, and deliberately made things difficult for military families. He will be handed over to the production brigade for further investigation and punishment.

As a staff member of the logistics department, Deng Ke failed to perform his duties strictly, neglected his family management, failed to report known wrongdoings, and condoned mistakes. Although he had no motive to commit the crime or participated in it, he violated the discipline of cadre conduct and was sentenced to internal criticism within the entire brigade, deduction of his annual performance bonus, a written self-criticism of 10,000 words, and demoted to the head of the logistics service department.

With all the charges settled and the matter resolved, Wang Song picked up his pen, ready to formally close the case and organize the files for archiving.

Just then, a rapid, loud, and excited announcement came from outside the guard unit.

"Report! Great news! Regiment Commander Lu Yanzheng has successfully completed a high-risk combat mission and returned to camp victorious, awarded a First-Class Merit! The military region leaders personally led a team to guard the main gate of the camp to hold a triumphant commendation ceremony for Regiment Commander Lu, and all officers and soldiers of the battalion lined up to pay their respects!"

The entire courtyard fell silent instantly.

Everyone knew that Lu Yanzheng's mission was extremely dangerous and of great significance. Now, his triumphant return, leading his team to victory, was the highest honor for the entire camp.

Wang Song was preparing to put down the files in his hand and lead the team to step forward to welcome and participate in the triumphant return commendation ceremony.

A tall, imposing figure, weathered by the elements, strode through the gates of the guard unit.

Lu Yanzheng, who should have been adorned with a bright red flower of merit, receiving commendation from his superiors and salute from the entire army, tore off his red ribbon, threw away the red flower, and disregarded the grand ceremony and the waiting of his superiors. Upon hearing that his wife was in the guard brigade, he immediately left to come over.

"Wang Song, what did you do to my wife?"

Wang Song was startled. Meeting Lu Yanzheng's murderous and furious gaze, he quickly explained.

"Commander Lu, I didn't do anything to your wife."

"It was Director Deng! His wife framed your wife!"

Before Tie Baozi could lose his temper, he quickly and clearly explained to Lu Yanzheng what had happened and the outcome of the case.

"Commander Lu, it's like this..."

"From beginning to end, I did my best to help my sister-in-law catch the pig thief. After the case was solved, I was punished in accordance with military discipline and regulations. There was no favoritism or cover-up whatsoever."

Ha! That's not enough punishment!

After listening to Wang Song's report, Lu Yanzheng did not say anything.

Instead, he strode up to Xiao Re, embraced her tightly, and kissed her forehead.

"young married woman!"

One second he was a fierce and intimidating soldier, the next he was a tender and affectionate man.

Those sunken eyes, worn from staying up late, were overflowing with deep affection and love.

Even the stubble on his chin has lost its sharpness, adding a touch of warmth.

"Honey, have you missed me all this time?"

It had only been about ten days. In the dead of night, when the bedside was empty, Xiao Re would occasionally think of him.

But I didn't think about it in particular.

But when she met his tender yet passionate eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly, responding softly.

"Um."

Upon hearing her say she wanted to, Lu Yanzheng's heart softened, and he hugged her even tighter, wishing he could completely meld the person in his arms into his very bones.

If it weren't for the presence of so many people around, he would have kissed her lips passionately, melting all the endless longing he had accumulated over the days into his boiling blood.

"Rere, I miss you so much!"

His voice was low and hoarse, and it entered Xiao Re's eardrums through his hot breath, making it particularly moving.

"Lu Yanzheng. There are so many people watching, be serious."

"Mmm! Let's hug a little longer!"

Lu Yanzheng was already very restrained and serious. If there weren't other people present, he would have taken advantage of her right there and then.

Wang Song, Xiao Wen, Di Houzi, and others... including Da Huang, all turned around, faced the wall, and pretended to be blind and deaf.

Who would have thought that the Iron Leopard, so fearsome and decisive on the battlefield, would be such a clingy person in private?

It's unbearable to look at!

Xiao Re was so overwhelmed by the man's embrace that she could hardly breathe, and realized he was about to lose control, so she pushed him away forcefully.

"Lu Yanzheng! You better behave yourself for now, let me finish what I'm doing first!"

Lu Yanzheng chuckled softly, lowered his head and gently pecked the tip of her small, pert nose before reluctantly letting go of her embrace.

He turned to look at Deng Ke, Sun Daming, and the others. All the gentle tenderness on his face vanished, instantly transforming into the cold, stern, and imposing black-faced demon he once was.

His face was cold and stern, and he exuded a chilling aura. Without saying a word, he turned his head and sternly ordered the guards behind him.

"Someone come here!"

"Tie these things up and bring them over!"

He is currently at the height of his military achievements and is at the height of his prestige. If he doesn't make an example of these few to warn others, they will really think that he, Lu Yanzheng, is a soft leopard.

In the past, when those people made things difficult for Xiao, he didn't pursue the matter too much out of consideration for his comrades in the army.

If such incidents continue to occur, and we don't take decisive action, who knows how many more cockroaches and rats will jump out and swagger in front of my wife.

Lu Yanzheng personally escorted several criminals and, in front of the entire army, threw Deng Ke and Sun Daming, who were tightly bound, to the ground. He then went straight to Zheng Guodong to demand justice.

"Sir, we're not holding any commendation ceremony today. I just want to get justice for my wife."

"I charged into battle amidst gunfire, fought bloody battles, and risked my life for my country, yet these despicable men in the military framed me behind my back and bullied my wife."

"Does he really think I, Lu Yanzheng, am dead?"

"If the boss doesn't give me an explanation today for letting these bastards go, I'll personally kill them."

"At worst, I'll atone for my crime with military merit. I don't want this first-class merit!"
