"You're a really wicked woman. Do you have some kind of delusional disorder? What sprained ankle, what helping you carry your bag—when did all that happen?"

Those who had initially thought there was something between Wu Shuixin and Commander Zhu were completely dumbfounded upon hearing this. What was going on? Was it really just something that Wu's eldest daughter had imagined?

Is this really that outrageous?!

Suddenly, the guard Xiao Wang had a flash of inspiration. His lips twitched slightly, and he turned around, letting Wu Shuixin run over again while speaking loudly. The volume was so loud that everyone present and the onlookers nearby could hear it clearly. He had no intention of giving Wu's eldest daughter any face at all.

"Sir, a little over a month ago, we were returning from a meeting at the military region headquarters when a female comrade suddenly rushed over and stopped the bus at the bus stop. I was so startled that I even pulled out my gun. After asking her, I learned that she was a military dependent from the military region's family compound. Xiao Li and I even checked her letter of introduction to confirm her identity. Then I noticed that her ankle was a little swollen, so I reported this to you."

We weren't busy at the time, so we took her to the military hospital next to the family compound. The woman kept trying to start a conversation the whole way, but I clearly remember that you didn't say a single word to her.

Later, on another occasion, we had just returned from the military region and were walking towards the gate when we saw a female comrade carrying a large package into the courtyard. Xiao Li saw that she was a female comrade and a family member of a comrade-in-arms, so he ran over to help her. He had asked you for permission beforehand.

Another time, you had just finished a phone call with Comrade Bai Nuo and heard that the school was about to have a holiday. On your way back, you told me and Xiao Li that you were going to prepare some things to send to your daughter's workplace. You were smiling quite happily at the time. I guess Comrade Wu was probably nearby, which is why we misunderstood and thought you were smiling at her.

Xiao Wang was chosen to be the army commander's bodyguard, which means he must have outstanding abilities. He also has a natural advantage: a good memory. Especially after joining the army commander's team, because of the commander's special status, he would deliberately observe and remember many small details, so that he wouldn't be caught off guard if he couldn't remember them when he needed them.

It must be said that there are no ordinary soldiers among the bodyguards who can stand beside the leaders of the army.

When Xiao Wang said that, well, the expressions on the faces of the military dependents who were watching the commotion nearby were indescribable. The way they looked at Wu Shuixin became as if they were looking at a crazy person.

"No, impossible! How could this be? This is impossible!"

"What's impossible!" Orderly soldier Xiao Li pointed angrily at Wu Shuixin and shouted, "You comrade, you really repay kindness with enmity, and you don't know what's good for you at all."

Our commander only took you along because he saw that you, a female comrade, were injured. He even took you to the hospital for treatment and paid your medical expenses out of his own pocket. Our commander often taught us that as members of the People's Liberation Army, we should always be prepared to protect and help the people. Even if you were just an ordinary civilian, let alone a military dependent from our region, our commander would have stopped the car for you.

You suddenly lunged at us from the roadside to stop the car, and our vehicle almost crashed into a pillar while trying to avoid you. Our leader didn't say anything, only had Xiao Li tell you to be careful in the future. And what do you do? You go around slandering our leader! You're a complete ingrate!

"No, it's not like that, it shouldn't be like this." Wu Shuixin stood there, her face pale, her mind hazy, not knowing what to do, swaying as if she would shatter at any moment.

Unfortunately, apart from the Wu couple, no one else present sympathized with her. They all thought she deserved it. Such a high-ranking leader had kindly helped her twice, and now she was being taken advantage of. Who would dare to help a woman so easily in the future? Her reputation might be ruined.

"Report!"

Upon receiving the news, the political commissar of the Central Military Commission rushed over and jogged a few steps to stand in front of Zhu Kaixuan, giving him a military salute.

He had already found out the main reason for this on his way here, and he had heard what the bodyguard Xiao Li said from beginning to end. At this moment, there was no need to ask for the reason; he could just wait for the leader to give the order.

Zhu Kaixuan frowned, looking irritated. He felt somewhat dirty and didn't want to look at the Wu family members anymore, especially that crazy woman. He simply waved his hand in that direction.

"Alright, enough dawdling. Take them away directly. The charges against them are malicious insult to military family members and malicious slander against the commander of the First Army."

"Yes, sir!"

"Hey, wait!" Just as the political commissar of the Central Military Commission was about to turn around and order the arrest, a clear voice suddenly rang out from the wall. The voice was melodious and pleasant, with a hint of refreshing laughter, which made people subconsciously look over.

Bai Nuo smiled and waved to the soldiers over there, then threw a grenade, making the Wu family members, whose faces were already very ugly, turn even more ashen.

"Excuse me for bothering you, but I am the military family member who was insulted by that woman. However, I should add that I am not only a military family member, but also a member of the People's Public Security Bureau. I have received two second-class merit medals from the public security system. In addition, I am the descendant of a martyr. There are definitely no fewer than thirty martyrs in my family who sacrificed their lives for the country. I wonder what those thirty elders would think if they knew that their child would one day be pointed at and called a little slut and a man-stealing whore by the daughter of a regimental commander.

Bai Nuo raised the corners of his mouth with a smile, looking innocent and kind, but his words were like sharp blades, piercing the hearts of the Wu family. Even the political commissar of the Central Military Commission felt a chill run down his spine.

Logically speaking, Wu Shuixin's actions were indeed disgusting, but if her identity was not different, and she was not deliberately approaching the army commander under the orders of the enemy in an attempt to extract intelligence, then even if this matter went to a military court, she would not be convicted of a serious crime.

Even if the sentence is severe, at most she would be sent to a farm for a year of labor reform. The biggest loss would probably only be her reputation. Wu Dayong's estimate is that she would only have to make a self-criticism. If she doesn't achieve any major military merits later, it would only delay her promotion opportunity.

However, if the children and descendants of martyrs are involved, it's a different story. Moreover, these are not ordinary descendants of martyrs. There are more than thirty martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country. Who wouldn't say that this is a family of loyal martyrs?

No matter when, what the nation values ​​most is the descendants of a family full of loyal martyrs. Even in the imperial era of ancient times, the powerful emperor would not dare to let the children of a family full of loyal martyrs suffer any injustice.

After all, if this got out, it wouldn't just be a few people who would be disheartened, but... all the soldiers in the army!
