Chapter 1026: Interrogation
Jiang Yao was furious. “As for who reported him, I really can’t guess, but Xingzhi should know.”
Jiang Yao did not know who hated Lu Xingzhi the most, but he would know.
“Logically speaking, no.” Mrs Lin shook her head. “There was still competition in the past, but everyone knew that Sergeant Lu would be transferred after a year. This competitive relationship doesn’t exist anymore. No one would be stupid enough to report and offend him with his status if they didn’t need to do that. This is a stupid and thankless thing.”
Even though the report would not reach Lu Xingzhi’s hands, it was still easy for him to find out about it.
Lu Xingzhi did not even need to see the signature on the report. He would have a way to know the informant.
Anyone with a bit of brain would be able to guess the twists and turns in the process. So, who would report Lu Xingzhi when he was about to be transferred? Did they wait for him to leave before they want to torture him?
Did that person still want a future? Did he still want to stay in the army?
“Someone is manipulating this behind the scenes.” Mrs Lin patted the back of Jiang Yao’s hand and said, “You shouldn’t be so self-conscious. Anyway, you and Sergeant Lu didn’t do anything, so don’t be afraid of others smearing your name. In the end, the truth will come out. But, I’m here to warn you about it if they ask you for questioning later. Others might take advantage of the situation if you might lose your mind then.”
“I’m not afraid; I’m angry.” Jiang Yao sat upright. She had never done such shameless things, so she was not afraid of other people’s words or if they wanted to investigate her background at home. She was not scared at all. She was angry because those people were irresponsible and did not see the consequences when they spread such rumors.
They did not even know the truth, yet they spread it as if that was the truth. Did they think it was a joke because it did not happen to them? Did they have nothing to fear?
Did they really think that they did not have to bear legal responsibility for speaking nonsense? So they could say anything to other people?
Before Mrs Lin left, a soldier came to request Jiang Yao for questioning. Mrs Lin and Jiang Yao went out together. On the way, Mrs Lin comforted Jiang Yao a few times before she watched Jiang Yao leave with that soldier.
That soldier probably felt that Jiang Yao was in a bad mood, so he comforted her, “Don’t worry. They only wanted to understand the situation. We believe in your and Sergeant Lu’s character. Someone must have been jealous and wanted to harm you.”
“Thank you.” Jiang Yao was a little surprised that the soldier would say such words of encouragement and comfort toward her, so her mood lifted. She smiled at the soldier and thanked him.
When the soldier heard that, he scratched his head in embarrassment, smiled shyly, and didn’t say anything else.
It was not until he brought Jiang Yao to the front of the leader’s office that he whispered to Jiang Yao, “Mrs Lu, you and Sergeant Lu will be speaking separately. But, don’t worry, Sergeant Lu is in the next office right now!”
Jiang Yao grunted before she pushed the door open and walked into the room. A man in a military uniform in his forties sat in the room. “Commissar Wang.” Jiang Yao greeted him when she recognized the man.
“Jiang Yao, you’re here. Come, sit.” Commissar Wang raised his head from the table and pointed at the seat opposite him with the pen in his hand. “Don’t be nervous, and don’t be afraid. I just want to have a few words with you.”
