Chapter 792: Chapter 0792: Reap What You Sow7_1

Chen Ju knew what she had done was irreversible, but she was not willing to accept it.

"Why should we be investigated? Haven’t Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue accepted things from others? Even now, many soldiers are still bringing gifts to their home, all kinds of delicious food! Our dear Qi Gang paid for everything he got, yet they directly accepted gifts. Why should we be the unlucky ones while they get away scot-free? I can’t accept it! I won’t accept it!"

"Even if you won’t accept it, you’ll have to!" Hu Zehong had no patience for those who abused their power for personal gain. "Sure, they accepted gifts, but they also gave back something in return, they did not receive anything for free! Remember clearly, from the wedding gifts they received from comrades and hospital staff, I saw records of everything. The quantity of their belongings is within a reasonable range, they did not change anything new for several years. Unlike your house, where are all these shoes, fabrics and new clothes from? Don’t tell me these are all ’sale items. I checked them, all the shoes and fabrics are in good condition, there’s not a single second-hand item in your house!"

The accusation letter stated clearly that Chen Ju wielded her power to demand bribes, which was different from people giving presents to Xibao. During hard times, it was normal for people in the same neighborhood to help each another out. Hu Zehong has also helped many starving people.

Cui Shaoyuan frowned. "All right, Xiaohu, say no more. We haven’t thoroughly investigated this case yet, we can’t reach a conclusion so quickly. First, let’s catalogue the confiscated items. ... Comrades in the Deputy Commanding Office and the Chief of Staff’s office, please clear out two rooms for us to store these confiscated materials. For now, let’s keep Comrade Qi Gang and Comrade Chen Ju separate. After our visit to Comrade Dan Qingming, we’ll decide on the next steps. At this point, we don’t have the mood to inspect every family’s house, we are going to proceed based on the claim in the letter."

Did any of the high-ranking officers at the scene not understand? Not only were Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, Qi Gang and Chen Ju reported in the letter, but also the Logistics Department minister Dan Qingming. They wondered if there were more names involved.

It seemed like Chen Ju had an idea of who wrote the letter. She just did not expect him to report them as well.

Zheng Xuefeng and the others stared at a pale-faced Chen Ju.

Chen Ju then realized, "Are you saying... we’ve been reported in the letter? Is that true? Is it?"

As she spoke, her chest rose and fell in anger.

"Yes! Someone has exposed your corruption, bribery, and squandering. We are here to investigate it. The only thing we can confirm right now is that Comrade Lu Jiang and Comrade Feng Qingxue are innocent. Although they may have had several extra towels and enamel jars, it does not constitute squandering. However, the evidence against both of you is overwhelming!"

Before Hu Zehong could finish, Chen Ju let out a scream, with surprising strength, she pushed past the high-ranking officers standing at the door and bolted out. Several people in the room immediately dispatched a few officers to go after her.

Once Commanding Officer Lu and Ding Aihong and the others went outside, they were dumbstruck.

Chen Ju was seen tugging on the hair of a woman in her thirties, sitting on her and hitting her relentlessly, "Cao Hongzhu, what grudge do you have against us to report on my Qi Gang and me! Whenever you came to our house, didn’t we treat you well with food and drinks? Speak up! Speak up! Weren’t you the one who reported Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue? Why did you report us? Why?"

...Chapter Eleven, vote, vote, I’ll continue typing, striving for a consecutive update by tomorrow morning.
