Chapter 781: Chapter 0781: Arrange Investigation 3_1

Commander Chen and Ye Zhengjun were quite confident.

They were frequent visitors to the Lu Family, no one understood the situation of the Lu family better than they did. Apart from the expensive food that everyone gifted Xibao, and the ration of food received from his old home, and besides Xibao occasionally getting a new piece of clothing as he grew, there was no difference between their family and others’. Probably the only difference was Feng Qingxue’s keenness for cleanliness; she kept their house tidy and pleasing to the eye.

As for using different towels for face and foot washing, and having several enamel tanks at home, those were minor matters. Items costing pennies were piled up daily on the counter of the service society, often going unsold. They were not as valuable as food rations, so how could they be considered wasteful?

Also, households with a higher standard of living, which household didn’t have several enamel tanks and basins?

Perhaps it was because of Feng Qingxue’s meticulous lifestyle, so it seemed wasteful to others.

The elder leader tapped the complaint letter in front of him, "The letter is here, and it’s quite assertive. Regardless of what’s said, especially the allegations that your Deputy Commander Qi Gang is corrupt, extravagant, and privately exploiting soldiers, can’t be taken lightly, we must send someone to investigate. We’ll know who’s right and who’s wrong after the investigation."

Everyone in the room nodded; when it came to internal military matters, a thorough investigation was necessary for peace of mind.

As for who should go, everyone’s eyes were on the elder leader.

"Xinsheng, you’re a fellow villager with the Lu Family, and you have a good relationship with Xibao, so you shouldn’t go, to avoid giving people something to talk about."

The elder leader’s words immediately collapsed Wang Xinsheng’s face, "I wanted to see Xibao. Ever since he left, my Huahua often reminisces about him, and you are not giving me this opportunity."

Hearing Xibao calling Wang Zhonghua "Huahua" had become a norm, so Wang Xinsheng didn’t call him Zhonghua anymore, and Wang Zhonghua’s protests were in vain.

Su Junshu volunteered himself, afterward, the elder leader shook his head, "Xibao fought with your child, and everyone in the courtyard knows this. Your brother in the troops is a division commander with room for advancement, so you’re not suitable for the investigation. Moreover, I have other important matters for you to handle, let someone else take care of this minor issue!"

"Elder leader, how about letting me go?" Jiang Yun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

"You are also not suitable." The elder leader said, "Don’t think I don’t know how close your beloved daughter and Xibao’s mother are. Anyone with a good or bad relationship with the accused can’t go."

Lu Shuai volunteered bravely, "Elder leader, why not let me go? I don’t have a good or bad relationship with them."

The elder leader thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, as long as you come back before the May meeting. You will go, and Cui Shaoyuan will accompany you."

Cui Shaoyuan was the trusted aide whom the elder leader promoted himself, who didn’t understand this amongst those present?

Lu Shuai chuckled, "Alright then, Cui Shaoyuan and I will tell our followers to prepare, and set off right away. Travelling by plane is time and labor-saving, elder leader, you must reimburse us when we return!"

"Isn’t every business trip reimbursable?" The elder leader retorted, making everyone laugh.

"What about us?" Commander Chen asked.

The elder leader pondered for a moment, "You should not go back for the time being. I have new work arrangements for you. After the meeting in May, you can go back. There’s no major battle on the frontier recently, so it’s not necessary for you to step in. The Deputy Commander and Deputy General can manage everything properly. Oh, the Deputy General has been reported, let’s wait until the results come out!"
