Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 229 - 228: Fired on the Spot! Who’s Next?

"Enough!"

Political Commissioner Zhou roared, causing the windows to buzz.

"Security Section!"

"Here!"

The two soldiers waiting outside rushed in, standing tall and exuding a murderous aura.

The farce in the meeting room came to an abrupt halt.

Sun Qian and Liu Quan were like chickens with their necks choked, suddenly silent.

Mr. Wang stood up.

He walked over to Liu Quan, who was slumped on the ground, and looked down at him.

"Evidence?"

Mr. Wang picked up the notebook from the floor.

"This is the evidence."

He threw the notebook in Liu Quan’s face.

"Testimony?"

He pointed at the radio that was still emitting a slight "zzz" sound.

"This is also testimony."

Mr. Wang’s voice was devoid of warmth.

"Sun Qian, Liu Quan."

"You two, corrupt and morally unsound, fabricated evidence, and falsely accused comrades."

"The circumstances are extremely vile, the impact extraordinarily grave."

With each word he spoke, Sun Qian and Liu Quan’s faces grew paler.

"After investigation team deliberation, and reporting to the military district for approval."

"You both are immediately expelled from the university!"

Expulsion from the university!

These four words weighed heavily on their hearts, suffocating them.

Sun Qian’s body shook, and all her strength dissipated, sprawling on the ground.

Liu Quan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

This was ten times worse than he had imagined the worst outcome to be.

Mr. Wang did not stop.

"Simultaneously, you will both be handed over to the Security Section."

"To deeply investigate whether more serious issues are involved behind this false accusation incident!"

"For instance, stealing intelligence or colluding with external enemy forces!"

This accusation was crushing.

Sun Qian’s eyes rolled up and she nearly fainted.

Liu Quan was so terrified that he felt a warm sensation trickling down his pants.

"Take them away!"

Mr. Wang commanded.

The two guards stepped forward with brisk, decisive actions.

One for each, lifting them off the ground like they were chickens.

"No! I was wrong! Commander, I was wrong!"

Sun Qian finally broke down, screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

She struggled desperately, her face a mess of snot and tears, her meticulously styled hair messy like a bird’s nest.

"I’ll never dare again! Please forgive me!"

There wasn’t a trace of her previous "pure lily" demeanor.

The guards remained expressionless, their grip tightening as they dragged her out.

A high heel fell off, and a tear formed in her skirt’s hem, making her look as pathetic as a stray dog.

Liu Quan, when lifted, didn’t struggle anymore.

He seemed utterly drained.

Just as he was being dragged to the meeting room door.

He didn’t look at anyone in the room.

He laboriously turned his head toward a dim corner at the end of the hallway.

He cast a desperate, pleading glance.

In that direction, there was no one.

But Lin Wan Yi saw it.

She had been standing beside Gu Yanshen, her gaze seemingly calm, yet she caught this fleeting moment clearly.

The door closed with a bang.

Sun Qian’s shrill cries were cut off, gradually fading away.

In the meeting room, an eerie silence returned.

A nauseating odor still lingered in the air.

Mr. Wang exhaled a long turbid breath.

He turned and walked over to Gu Yanshen.

His expression was very complicated.

There was guilt, embarrassment, and even a bit of heartfelt admiration.

"Comrade Gu Yanshen."

Mr. Wang extended his hand proactively.

"I apologize on behalf of the investigation team."

"It was our negligence that caused you grievances."

Gu Yanshen saluted and shook Mr. Wang’s hand.

"Reporting to the commander, I am not aggrieved."

Political Commissioner Zhou also came over, his face flushed.

He heavily patted Gu Yanshen on the shoulder.

"Yanshen, it’s the school that has wronged you!"

"I never thought we’d have such scum at our National Defense University!"

"Rest assured, I’ll draft a document to criticize those two scoundrels throughout the school and restore your reputation immediately!"

Political Commissioner Zhou grew angrier as he spoke, feeling even more guilty.

"Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll grant you a few days’ leave so you and your wife can rest at home and calm down."

Gu Yanshen released his hand and stood straight.

"Thank you for the concern, commander."

"There’s no need for the leave."

"Tomorrow, I hope to attend class as usual."

His voice was firm and left no room for negotiation.

It seemed as though it wasn’t him who just experienced this turmoil.

Mr. Wang and Political Commissioner Zhou exchanged glances, seeing deeper appreciation in each other’s eyes.

This is a true soldier.

Unfazed by honor or disgrace, indomitable spirit.

...

The two walked out of the office building.

The afternoon sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled light on the ground.

Gu Yanshen held Lin Wan Yi’s hand firmly.

They walked a good distance before he stopped.

"Wife."

He spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"I’m sorry."

Lin Wan Yi turned to look at him.

"Why apologize?"

"It’s my fault." Gu Yanshen’s jawline was tense, "I brought trouble on you."

Lin Wan Yi laughed.

She reached out with her other hand and gently poked his strong arm with her index finger.

"This is not your fault."

She blinked, her tone carrying a teasing note.

"It just means our Mr. Gu is too enticing."

"Anyone who sees you wants to take a bite."

Gu Yanshen was momentarily stunned by her tease.

Then, the stern lines of his face softened.

He turned and clasped her mischievous finger in his palm.

"It won’t happen again."

"Oh?"

"If it happens again, I’ll break her leg directly."

Lin Wan Yi burst into laughter.

"That’s not right, you’re a soldier, you must follow discipline."

She leaned in a bit closer.

"But this time, our Gu An did a great job."

Mentioning their son softened Gu Yanshen’s expression more.

"Indeed, we’ll have to reward him properly when we get back."

"What reward?" Lin Wan Yi asked, "Buy him a new toy?"

"He doesn’t want toys." Gu Yanshen shook his head, "If I give him Professor Wang’s broken radio, he’ll be happy for three days."

Lin Wan Yi imagined the scene and laughed too.

The two walked side by side.

The man was tall and upright, the military uniform making his shoulders look broad and legs long.

The woman was gentle and charming, the light-colored dress accentuating her graceful figure.

Sunlight gleamed on them, as if gilded them with a layer of gold.

Cadets they passed by instinctively slowed their steps.

Their gazes no longer held whispers or pointing fingers as before.

Instead, it was filled with plain admiration and respect.

The living Yama and his rumored "Female Zhuge Liang" wife.

Truly a match made in heaven.

Just as they were about to reach the school gate.

A figure came walking towards them.

It was a very young girl.

She was wearing a brand new white dress, its hem swaying gently as she walked.

Her features were bright, with an elegant demeanor.

The most striking was the large bouquet of sunflowers she held in her arms.

Golden and radiant, they stood out brightly in the sunlight.

The girl walked straight up to Gu Yanshen and Lin Wan Yi, stopping in front of them.

Her face carried just the right amount of regret and sincerity.
