Chapter 525 Huang Cen Has Gone Mad

By the time Xiao Jiu returned to school, her injuries had fully healed, and the National Day holiday had passed just like that.

Yuan Yuan came over and hugged her with heartache: "You're so unlucky, why do these kinds of things always happen to you?"

Xiao Jiu is also helpless. Perhaps this is the bad luck that comes with having a cheat code?

"We've compiled all your class notes from this period. The professor said you can go for extra lessons separately."

Xiao Jiu picked it up and looked at it. "It's nothing. I already knew how to do these things. As for you guys, are you alright?"

Qu Zhen's nose was still a little stuffy: "I just have a cold. The two of them are stronger and are fine."

However, when the topic of those who were killed or injured during this field training came up, everyone seemed a little downcast.

Xiao Jiu didn't know what had happened to those ten people, but she didn't expect that her warning would make people think that she was deliberately shifting the danger.

During the second routine questioning, a young female officer actually asked her a question.

"Why shout? If you don't shout, they won't find them."

Xiao Jiu laughed when she heard this: "Didn't Sheng Ze tell you that it was already exposed when they called me?"

If we have to assign responsibility, shouldn't the person who caused me to roll down the hillside bear some of the responsibility?

After all, if they hadn't slipped, I wouldn't have fallen, and if I hadn't fallen, how would they have found me?

Xiao Jiu was not only indignant at the time, but also felt wronged, especially by the female officer, whose words were so sharp and insightful that she was not given any chance to think.

Even the expression on her face at the end made her feel indescribably frustrated.

Even though she returned this time, and even though she killed an enemy, she didn't feel relieved.

So when they asked her to give a speech at the school assembly, she refused without hesitation.

"Why should I be the one to stick my neck out? Didn't you say I was shifting the danger onto others? That I was using my comrades?"

Since I'm so despicable and shameless, why make me give a speech? What's the point of giving a speech?

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, they immediately tried to win her back, but it was too late; Xiao Jiu bluntly rejected them.

"I don't care if you're using verbal traps or psychological manipulation on me, whether it's right or wrong, it's all up to you."

And me? I just did what I was supposed to do. It was a critical, life-threatening situation. If I had considered all the questions you're asking, what would I have become?

Why should I consider the consequences of everything before deciding whether or not to do it? I'm not that idle, nor that shrewd!

After this incident, Xiao Jiu remained silent for a long time. Even though she didn't have to worry about anything in the hospital ward and only needed to eat and drink, she was still very quiet.

But she only moved her mouth; her mind and heart were enduring unimaginable struggle and torment.

It's already like this now; it's hard to imagine what kind of torment and scrutiny those predecessors had to endure during turbulent times.

She disliked this procedure, but she also knew that it was a necessary procedure for every country's defense forces.

You can't expect them to understand your difficulties; you can only force yourself to adapt to this pattern.

She could only process these thoughts herself and couldn't bring herself to say them, so when her roommates showed concern for her, she could only laugh it off.

However, he didn't forget to remind those people.

"I'm more curious about why Xu Lan died than I am about myself."

Who was with her at the time? How did you determine that her death was accidental? Shouldn't this also be investigated?

Of course, she didn't bring this up on her own initiative; rather, those people prompted her to recall it.

Of all the things involved, what do she think is the most worthwhile to investigate?

She brought up Xu Lan's death and the fall she had experienced, and believed that she wasn't the only one who thought this way.

At least she's back in class, while the other ten—no, nine—are still under quarantine and investigation.

Two weeks later, the school announced the results of the investigation. Apart from Huang Cen, the other eight people returned to school normally.

Where did Huang Cen go? Sheng Ze, who found her immediately, answered her question!

"After she woke up, she was interrogated repeatedly. I heard that she had some mental problems and had been expelled from school and taken away."

As for where they were taken, they had no idea and no right to ask.

However, Shengze and the others always harbored doubts about her and expressed their reservations about her.

Although things on the battlefield can change in an instant, this matter cannot withstand repeated scrutiny and rehearsals.

In particular, these people went back to the crime scene to review the events.

In this way, how can Huang Cen's true colors still be hidden?

Not labeling her a traitor is the greatest mercy one can show her.

What if she doesn't go crazy?

Want to eat some peanuts?

But through this incident, Shengze and his comrades have come to realize that being a soldier is not easy.

Finally, they didn't forget to express their gratitude to Xiao Jiu.

Regardless of what others said, Shengze and the others involved remembered her warning.

Without her, they might have been dead long ago.

After all, those criminals were all carrying guns, and death could happen in the blink of an eye.

——

When the first snow fell in Xishi, she received a letter from Tang Cuihua.

The two Tang brothers were sentenced to seven years in prison. After the verdict was announced, their wives abandoned their children and ran away.

Tang Jiabei has one son and one daughter, while Tang Jiaqian has one daughter, making a total of three children.

Now it's just right to leave it in the care of Li Qingqing and Tang Cuicui, who have run back.

It's quite a coincidence that these two came back; their son had just been sentenced to prison, and his wife had run away, so they came back to take over.

Cao Amei eventually caused a scene in Xihe Village, but no one paid any attention to her. Cuihua, on the other hand, found someone to vent her frustrations on.

"Do you know why Tang Youjin was sentenced? Do you know who helped you deal with Tang Jiabei and Tang Jiaqian?"

Cao Amei looked at Tang Cuihua, who was fair-skinned and plump, yet whose smile was chilling, and asked, "You...did this?"

Cuihua chuckled and said to her, "There's no mother-daughter relationship between you and us anymore."

If you don't want me to take action, then go back to your own home, live your own life, and stop bothering us.

Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!

Seeing Cao Amei's face gradually turn pale and cracked, she nodded in satisfaction.

"Also, if you can't understand me speaking normal human language, then I don't mind making you listen to ghost stories!"

Cao Amei panicked, pointing at Tang Cuihua and trembling, "You can't treat me like this! I'm your own mother, and you're all my children!"

"So what? How did you treat us before? Have you forgotten?"

Do you know how much we've suffered growing up?

The fourth child is deaf, the seventh child is lame, and the eighth child is blind in one eye. Is this true?

Don't glare at me, this is all your fault, Cao Amei's doing!

If you want a peaceful and stable life, don't come to us, or you'll regret it!

Cao Amei was frightened by Tang Cuihua's words. The thought of her daughter living a life of luxury while she got nothing was terrifying.

She panicked: "No, you can't treat me like this! If you dare to ignore me, I'll risk my life to sue you for being unfilial! You won't let me have a good life, so why should I let you have one?!"
