Chapter 1416: Chapter 1416: Reason for Leaving 2

When Lu Jiang met Li Shuitian, he felt very pleased, knowing they were doing well gave him peace of mind. However, encountering Jiu Hong was unpleasant; the day after returning to the army, he called Ye Zhengjun to inquire about Jiu Hong.

"Oh, you’re talking about that? I actually forgot to mention it to you," Ye Zhengjun replied indifferently, clearly not taking Jiu Hong seriously.

After returning to the army, Ye Zhengjun heard about Lu Zhaodi cursing the Lu Family’s children and felt greatly disgusted. Jiu Hong had an improper lifestyle and soon slipped up, which got reported to the army.

This was a perfect opportunity, and Ye Zhengjun certainly didn’t let Jiu Hong off the hook!

Jiu Hong had his own backer, but after some contention, the army expelled him due to his improper lifestyle.

"What ’improper lifestyle’? It was actually about male-female relationships. When Lu Zhaodi was pregnant with her fourth child, not long after you left, Jiu Hong, feeling troubled, got involved with a female soldier who joined last year. One wanted to climb the social ladder, the other wanted to divorce and remarry; they even discussed it openly. We hadn’t taken action yet when Lu Zhaodi caught them, resulting in her premature labor out of anger."

Ye Zhengjun had no good feelings towards Jiu Hong. Compared to the honest, fair, and generous Li Shuitian, who was Jiu Hong to act as he did—and even report on Li Shuitian and Cao Hongzhu to climb up the ranks?

The army is the army; it allows no corruption, improper liaisons, or other misconduct.

Ye Zhengjun ran a strict military regime, showing no mercy under such circumstances.

"Jiu Hong even denied it, claiming the female soldier was just consulting him due to academic difficulties, and that there were no male-female issues involved; it was all baseless accusations. You should have seen the scene, it was the first time I witnessed Jiu Hong’s eloquence."

Lu Jiang hummed in agreement, "When I reported the incident involving Shuitian to you, I already felt that Jiu Hong couldn’t be trusted to remain straightforward. Who doesn’t know he wants to have a son? I knew he had intentions of infidelity, planning to catch him red-handed later. But then I was reassigned, and could only leave this matter to you. Jiu Hong truly lived up to our expectations."

Ye Zhengjun kept nodding, "Yes, yes, it lived up to expectations, the evidence was conclusive! Oh, what made you think to ask about him?"

"Yesterday, I took the children to play in Baozhou City, where I happened to meet Comrade Li Shuitian and also Jiu Hong. As Comrade Shuitian said, it really is a small world. They live just a wall apart, and moreover, Jiu Hong is under Shuitian."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengjun burst into hearty laughter!

"What is this? This is karmic retribution, pure and simple! Cao Hongzhu’s mouth is indeed formidable, and she holds grudges, so Jiu Hong had it coming. Later, tell Li Shuitian to work peacefully; his day of vindication will eventually come. As for Jiu Hong’s fate, I’ll have a word with old Zheng Xiaozhao; they’ll surely find it satisfying."

Lu Jiang shook his head and smiled, waiting for Ye Zhengjun to hang up before putting down the phone.

He didn’t have time to look for Li Shuitian, trusting that Shuitian could be patient, yet unexpectedly, Jiu Hong quickly sought him out.

It was only five or six days since their encounter in Baozhou.

As someone reported to him, Lu Jiang, not even lifting his head, said, "Just say I’m very busy, and spread thin. I’ve asked the border defense management department about his issue; he knows clearly what it is, and I need not reiterate. For the time being, I can’t help him; let him focus on his work until the dust settles."

"Yes, Leader!"
