Chapter 840: Chapter 0840 Settling Dust 1

Concerned about their comrades and missing their spouses, Su Junlin, Shang Kun, Peng Hu, and Qiao Desheng quickly boarded the plane.

Fortunately, they had already applied for family visitation leave before Wan Xinguo went on vacation, and everything was arranged at work. They only left two days earlier than planned, arriving at the Capital dusty and travel-worn, and first went to the military district.

Though they were ostensibly visiting their spouses, their ranks were not low enough to go unnoticed.

The lowest-ranked among them was Qiao Desheng, a battalion commander.

Therefore, upon arriving at the military district, they immediately received a warm reception, since their revolutionary partners were all in the Cultural Troupe of the Capital Military District.

Shang Kun discreetly inquired about Wan Xinguo and Chen Chen with the soldier who received them. The soldier looked perplexed, "Comrade Chen Chen is a female soldier in the cultural troupe; we all know her, she dances exceptionally well. Comrade Wan Xinguo? We’re aware of him too, isn’t he Comrade Chen Chen’s revolutionary spouse? He came to visit Chen Chen a few days ago."

From his tone, it seemed like he was unaware of the divorce report Chen Chen had filed against Wan Xinguo.

Shang Kun was taken aback and said sternly, "Are Comrade Wan Xinguo and Comrade Chen Chen still with your unit? Oh, don’t overthink it, Wan Xinguo and we are comrades-in-arms, from the same unit, and our revolutionary partners happen to be in the cultural troupe. We just wanted to ask where they are."

The guiding soldier chuckled, "Comrade Chen Chen lives in the base, and it seems that Comrade Wan Xinguo is not here. I heard he’s staying at the home of some old revolutionary military figure in Houhai here in the Capital. These days, he comes in the morning and leaves in the evening. There was one time I was on duty at the gate, so I know about Comrade Wan Xinguo’s daily comings and goings."

Hearing that Wan Xinguo was free, it relieved Su Junlin and his group.

Clearly, someone in the Capital Military District has suppressed the divorce controversy between Wan Xinguo and Chen Chen. And it must be because of Jiang Yun’s high rank that he and his daughter Jiang Xiaoyue knew the truth and immediately contacted Feng Qingxue.

Shang Kun was not surprised at all. Regardless of the final outcome, it was the Capital Military District’s reputation that was at stake.

If the scandal became widely known, the Capital Military District’s face would be trampled on over and over again, a thousand or even ten thousand times, so they handled it quietly, with the rank-and-file soldiers none the wiser.

Shang Kun understood such actions well. They would first cover the dirty and foul with a veil of decency, always considering their own face first.

"Enough with the chit-chat, we are here on an important mission," said Su Junlin, who was always in a hurry and never beat around the bush. He directly addressed Commissar Liao, who had rushed out to receive them.

Commissar Liao was startled and quickly said with a laugh, "Aren’t you gentlemen here to visit family?"

Su Junlin scoffed coldly, "Visit family? Even if that were the case, it would have to come after seeing our comrade. Tell me, are you investigating Comrade Wan Xinguo just because of Comrade Chen Chen’s divorce report?"

Commissar Liao appeared flustered and quickly waved his hands, "Nothing of the sort, nothing of the sort."

"What? You won’t admit it?" Su Junlin glared angrily.

The messages passed to them by Jiang Yun and his daughter Jiang Xiaoyue certainly had no reason to lie in this regard, and before they set off, their unit had indeed received a telegram from the Capital Military District regarding the inquiry into Wan Xinguo.

"The personnel in the unit were simply asking Wan Xinguo for some clarification, there’s absolutely no ’investigation’ involved," Commissar Liao was practically cursing Chen Chen in his heart. You could’ve just divorced quietly; filing a marriage report would have done, leaving on good terms would have left everyone looking good. Instead, you had to tear off the facade, making the accusation before being accused yourself, and now look, the comrades from the unit have come looking, and the situation has certainly escalated.
