Chapter 842: Chapter 0842 Settling Dust 3

While Political Commissar Liao and the guards were busy inviting people separately, Jiang Yun quickly and in a low voice informed Su Junlin and the others about the situation.

At this moment, Su Junlin and the others finally understood the truth.

Wan Xinguo had indeed been taken away for an investigation, otherwise Jiang Xiaoyue wouldn’t have notified Feng Qingxue in such a hurried and flustered manner, disturbing all the senior officers of their unit, and having them, who had taken leave for a family visit, deal with the situation.

However, Jiang Yun subsequently stepped forward, vouched for Wan Xinguo and mentioned that the situation had deteriorated to this point due to the couple living apart, for which the military cultural troupe could not shirk its responsibility. He also raised the point that many in the cultural troupe were romantic partners of frontier soldiers. If every military couple living apart had to face this kind of situation upon their reunion, how could any soldier stay calm and defend the border?

This single statement made the military region realize the gravity of the issue, and they hastily apologized to Wan Xinguo, clarifying that it was merely a fact-finding mission, not an investigation. They promised to handle the matter seriously, and therefore, did not publicize it, limiting the knowledge to only the upper echelons.

Chen Chen tried to take preemptive action, wanting to blow things up, but was unsuccessful. Compared to Chen Chen’s petty schemes, the face of the military region was paramount.

"We’ve all heard what Qingxue said," Shang Kun also lowered his voice, "Comrade Commander Jiang, the military region must give us an explanation, not just for Wan Xinguo. Although we do not know who that person is, your military region has allowed Chen Chen to engage in promiscuous relationships, and then slander Wan Xinguo. This reflects a lack of oversight by your military region! If you do not provide us with an explanation, we will find it hard to rest easy about leaving our romantic partners at your cultural troupe."

Jiang Yun sighed, "Do you think I don’t want to? I treasure all of you soldiers more than anyone else, but..."

His voice became even lower then, "Right now, I feel somewhat powerless. To tell you the truth, there are already signs of chaos within the military region. It feels like some people are doing as they please, not managing what they should, and unnecessarily intervening in what they shouldn’t. Haven’t you noticed? Even the words of Political Commissar Liao are confused, and it’s not been like this for just a day or two. Otherwise, I would have already dealt with this situation with a thunderous approach and would not have needed to trouble you all! Since you are here now, talk to your wives properly. If they are willing, in light of the issue with Chen Chen, they should promptly apply for a transfer to your military region. It’s likely that the troops will approve it," he said.

He had already made up his mind to transfer his daughter to the medics, to keep her out of the cultural troupe’s mess!

Su Junlin was taken aback, and Shang Kun’s face turned cold, "Are you suggesting that after confirming Wan Xinguo’s innocence, we should just let the matter rest? Just overlook the slander by Chen Chen? And not to expose that person? Impossible! Initially, when Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were slandered, based on the fact that Cao Hongzhu indeed reported the true corrupt elements, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue both dropped the matter, and we had no choice but to swallow our pride. Now, when there’s clear evidence of Chen Chen’s improper relationships, are we still supposed to bite our tongues and bear it?"

"This is what Wan Xinguo wants," Jiang Yun said. He had sent someone to find Mother Ning, and Mother Ning was willing to testify about Chen Chen’s abortion at her place, but Wan Xinguo didn’t agree to let Mother Ning come forward.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, "Wan Xinguo is willing to let it go? What a softie!"

After Su Junlin cursed with that remark, Jiang Yun smiled faintly, "I don’t think he’s soft at all, quite the opposite; he’s very firm and decisive! If you think that letting off Chen Chen means she’ll end up well, that’s not going to happen."

Shang Kun pondered thoughtfully, while Su Junlin and the others didn’t quite grasp what Jiang Yun meant -- but they soon found out.
