Chapter 1245: Chapter 1245 Shuitian Leaves the Team 4

She wanted to say sorry, but she was in too much pain to speak because her tongue was severely injured.

Wang Sanbao pried open her mouth, and Feng Qingxue could only see a blur of blood and flesh, unable to tell if it was self-inflicted or done by someone else.

Guo Xiuying sighed deeply. After the three of them had finished bandaging Cao Hongzhu, she turned to Li Shuitian and said, "Pack your bags tonight. Early tomorrow morning, before everyone else wakes up, I’ll have you two leave. This is what Old Zhao insisted I tell you, to avoid the trouble that could arise if people saw the bandaging. By then, none of us could escape involvement!"

Li Shuitian expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Thank you to both sisters-in-law, thank you, Sister Sanbao!"

It was at times like these that one’s popularity became apparent. With everyone’s help, the husband and wife left quietly without anyone noticing. By the time some in the family compound and the military realized what happened, Li Shuitian and Cao Hongzhu had already been gone for quite some time.

At that moment, Jiu Hong naturally took over Li Shuitian’s position, moving up from deputy to chief.

After many twists and turns, Lu Jiang finally found out who was behind the anonymous letter.

"Who was it?" Amidst the stormy weather outside, Feng Qingxue was less inclined to leave the house, worried that a careless word might bring disaster upon her and her family. "It’s been almost half a month, right? You finally found out."

Lu Jiang nodded slightly, "Jiang Wei made a great contribution. That kid knows people in the headquarters."

"Jiang Wei?" Feng Qingxue hadn’t thought of Jiang Xiaoyue’s nephew in a long time, "I remember he was honored with a third-class merit last year and has already been promoted. Truly a tiger cub from a general’s family."

After saying this, she asked, "Quick, tell me, who is it? We better prepare."

"As we suspected, it’s the person you’re thinking of." Lu Jiang let out a deep sigh, his eyes flashing with anger. It was truly an era where the honest toiled diligently while the treacherous strutted arrogantly.

"Jiu Hong? Or is it Lu Zhaodi?" Feng Qingxue immediately asked.

Lu Jiang replied, "Jiu Hong."

Feng Qingxue was stunned. "Still not giving up? Using his scheming tricks in the military, it seems his honesty was just a facade. Wasn’t it an anonymous letter? How did you manage to trace it back?"

Lu Jiang answered vaguely, "It took some effort, but Jiang Wei managed to get the original anonymous letter through his connections."

Even if the letter was anonymous, the handwriting was unmistakable.

Jiu Hong was clever, using his left hand to scribble what looked like chicken scratch, but he was betrayed by the paper and ink. Jiang Wei was very astute. First suspecting Jiu Hong, he snuck into Jiu Hong’s office, and stole Jiu Hong’s notebook. Whatever was written on a page, even through another sheet, would leave some trace, and Jiang Wei used this to confirm Jiu Hong was responsible.

Hearing this, Feng Qingxue whispered, "What are your plans for dealing with this? Just let Jiu Hong take the position that belongs to Li Shuitian? Although Jiu Hong has no issues with his work, his character is unsound."

Gaining a position through deceit and trickery is inherently a disadvantage.

"Let him be happy for a while. We have plenty of time to deal with him!" Lu Jiang spoke with vehemence, "Didn’t you say it before? A dog can’t change its nature. He’s been living a life of misconduct, not just for a day or two. If he can dig up Cao Hongzhu’s past to achieve his goals, why can’t we retaliate in the same way? We haven’t made a move on him yet because Li Shuitian’s incident just happened. If he were to run into trouble now, it could shake the troops’ morale and spark panic. This was the consensus after discussion."
