Chapter 301 One Rat Droppings
Chapter 301 One Rat Droppings
The various departments of the military region quickly received orders from their highest commanders: select wounded personnel from within the past week and send them to the 3rd Division headquarters for commendation.
This inexplicable order left everyone bewildered, but the selection process continued in an orderly manner.
A team emerged from the deep mountains and secretly headed to the division headquarters conference room.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the members of the investigation team took their places in the division headquarters conference room.
Ouyang Ao made a dazzling entrance, vividly recounting the whole story of how Luo Ning treated Luo Jiang at the Jiang Province Military Region Hospital's surgical department, and strongly expressing his fervent desire to meet the young miracle doctor.
His words relieved the leader of the affirmative side; the matter had finally been clarified.
The opposing camp, represented by Nie Xianyong, looked rather grim. Had they really let them explain themselves so easily? This was unacceptable.
Then that monster Nie Xianyong jumped out again, forcibly pinned Ouyang Ao down, and steered the situation astray.
“Luo Ning herself said she can’t cure diseases. Director Ouyang, you and Ming are teacher and student, and Ming and Luo Ning are fellow students. Yet you praise Luo Ning so much. I think you must have been bewitched by Luo Ning’s sorcery to speak up for her!”
Ouyang Ao's face darkened slightly. He had long disliked Nie Xianyong and seized the opportunity to lash out, "Soldiers believe in supernatural forces? I think you've got a problem. Our neurosurgeon is quite skilled and can help you!"
The positive side felt very satisfied; Nie Xianyong's constant jumping around was just asking for trouble.
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Ouyang! You can go back now!" Yang Zheng was sincerely grateful to Dr. Ouyang, who had a strong sense of justice.
Facts speak louder than words; Luo Ning's medical skills cannot be erased by Nie Xianyong's few words.
"Commander Yang, you're too kind. It was nothing!" Ouyang Ao left satisfied after completing his mission.
Just then, all the wounded officers and soldiers were sent over and settled in the conference room.
Nie Xianyong glanced at the wounded soldiers, some sitting and some lying down, and had a vague, extremely bad premonition.
A moment later, the director of the military hospital, along with several doctors, came to visit and offer their sincere condolences to the wounded soldiers.
The atmosphere was initially very harmonious, but an invisible tension permeated the air.
Yang Zheng whispered to Liu Hongyi from time to time, keeping a close eye on the final outcome of the incident.
After an unknown amount of time, the air was so tense and oppressive that it felt like we could hardly breathe. The dean and the others finished their inspection and quietly reported to Jin Danian.
Jin Danian nodded and expressed his gratitude before the dean and others successfully left the room.
"Except for Liao Xiang, Xiao Di, and Su Youhuai, everyone else can go back!" Jin Danian waved his hand, his brows furrowed with barely suppressed anger.
All the wounded retreated, completely unaware of what had happened; everything today was utterly inexplicable!
Liao Xiang stood there, his heart pounding.
If Nie Xianyong still doesn't know what happened, he's a fool.
When the news of Tian Susu's execution spread, he knew things were over, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Xiao Di and Su Youhuai exchanged a glance and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Jin Danian picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and slowly said, "Liao Xiang, do you know why we kept you here?"
"I don't know!" Liao Xiang shook his head, his heart leaping into his throat, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards a certain direction of the investigation team.
"Tell me about the injury on your arm," Jin Danian asked, holding a water glass, his face expressionless.
Liao Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease. "Oh, this? I accidentally bumped into Company Commander Xiao and Deputy Company Commander Su in the canteen and got scalded by boiling water. The military hospital has treatment records; you can check them, sir!"
“That’s right, that’s how we got injured!” Su Youhuai nodded readily.
The strong testimony from the parties involved eased the tension considerably.
Xiao Di's eyes flashed, and he nodded in agreement. "Yes, we were indeed scalded by boiling water. Deputy Regiment Commander Liao didn't do it on purpose, and he injured his hand, while Deputy Company Commander Su and I injured our arms!"
The crowd immediately began whispering and discussing among themselves.
Yang Zheng looked at Liao Xiang with a half-smile, shook the documents in his hand and passed them down, "Since it was a hand injury, why was it an arm burn? I remember that before the three of you bumped into each other, Deputy Regiment Commander Liao's arm was already injured."
Deputy Regiment Commander Liao, you're contradicting yourself!
Can you explain to us how you got the knife wound on your arm? And why do you often stay up late at night and go to the vicinity of the guesthouse?
The whistleblower letter specifically mentioned the knife wound on his arm and the series of ambushes near the guesthouse.
After receiving the mission, he requested Commander Jin to issue an order to search for the most recently wounded soldiers in the entire army, and Liao Xiang was found.
Liao Xiang was the deputy head of his regiment. He was usually very well-behaved and honest, and had no presence in the regiment.
Who would have thought he would be a rotten apple hiding inside? This result is too unexpected.
"I..." Liao Xiang's mind went blank, and he broke out in a cold sweat, so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
Su Youhuai stared in disbelief. This, this...
He understood, he understood. Liao Xiang did it on purpose that day. He deliberately bumped into him and Xiao Di to frame them!
Jin Danian slammed the teacup down on the table and announced with a livid face.
"There are actually dogs kept by others within our army, witnesses who plotted to murder Comrade Luo Ning, and are still running around in the military region. Such disorganized and undisciplined lackeys are unworthy of their status. Immediately remove Liao Xiang from his post as deputy commander of the Third Regiment and expel him from the military. Nie Xianyong."
Nie Xianyong's pupils contracted when his name was called, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Nie Xianyong bribed Liao Xiang to work for me, causing trouble in the military region. He should be removed from his current post and discharged from the military!"
"Jin Danian, who do you think you are!" Nie Xianyong stood up abruptly, his anger rising, and pulled out a pistol, pointing it at Jin Danian.
"I am a member of the Yan family, who dares to touch me!"
Everyone's expressions darkened slightly. Had Nie Xianyong gone mad?
Jin Danian sneered and gave a firm order, "Take down Nie Xianyong!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a dozen soldiers who had been secretly lying in ambush nearby rushed in, disarmed Nie Xianyong, and took him down on the spot.
In order to deal with today's situation, Shen Da'an was sent to the mountains to dispatch the Lion Team after reporting the situation last night.
Nie Xianyong was taken away by the Lion Team as if he had been boiled alive.
All those in the investigation team who were close to Nie Xianyong were investigated on-site.
They will face a just trial and severe disciplinary punishment.
Half an hour later, Gao Ming was found to have shot and killed Ji Lin and was directly handed over to a military court. Also sent away was Ma Jianguo, who had been seen outside Luo Ning's confinement room and was suspected of committing the crime.
When Ji Ting went to Luo Ning with a bullet and the jade pendant he had obtained from Zuo Yunhan, the bullet was fired from Gao Ming's gun.
The clever mistress Tian Susu had a grudge against Ji Lin because Ji Lin sided with Luo Ning, which offended Tian Susu.
Stealing a gun and framing someone is a piece of cake for a spy like Tian Susu.
The reason Gao Ya hasn't made things difficult for Tian Susu all these years is because of her father, Gao Ming, Tian Susu's lover, who doesn't approve!
Upon hearing the news, Luo Jiling nearly vomited blood on the spot. She hurriedly contacted the capital and, after a scolding, repeatedly assured him, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely arrange Gao Ya and Xie Chang'an's marriage to give you a satisfactory explanation. Also, please keep an eye on things in the capital; that Luo Ning is very unruly!"
Hearing the dial tone, Luo Jiling collapsed onto the sofa, feeling utterly exhausted. She ordered her bodyguard, "Bring that bitch Luo Ning here so she can treat Ye Feng..."
