“Then show me your report! I want to see the kind of fair and just report which you wrote! I want to read about how that woman harassed my grandson and my granddaughter-in-law and their entire family!” Xia Jun said as he held out his hand.
Dong Ming looked at the colleague beside him, not knowing what to do. Zhou Kun, who was next to him, did not know what to say. Both of them were trained by Xia Jun. Their current achievements were only made possible because of Xia Jun’s guidance and care for them. If not for Xia Jun risking his life to protect the two of them back then, the two of them might already be gone by now.
“We haven’t finished writing the report yet, but don’t worry, we’ll definitely seek justice for Xia Zhe,” Zhou Kun said.
“Justice? What’s the use of getting justice! Tell me! What’s the use of getting justice! What did you promise me back then! You said that although Xia Zhe might encounter dangerous situations, he won’t be at great risk. Look at what has happened now! I never expected that the biggest risk to him is the partner you give him! How can you ask me to feel assured!” Xia Jun said furiously.
Xia Jun had dedicated his whole life to the military and so did all his sons. Even his grandsons had contributed everything they had to the military. The reason for Xia Jun being so angry was not because Xia Zhe was sent on a dangerous mission, but because they had put Qiao Mei and the children in danger.
Even if Xia Zhe was in danger and had to sacrifice his life for the country, then that was his lot in life. This was something that could not be helped. However, Qiao Mei and the children were innocent! They should not be subjected to such danger! They definitely did not have to face such a situation!
Fortunately, the children were still young and they would forget about this matter as time passed. What if the children were already seven or eight years old? Did that mean they would have to live in fear their whole lives?
If Su Rui had really defected to the enemy, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Qiao Mei was such a beautiful girl and if she had fallen into the hands of those criminals, who knew what they would do to her.
“That person must be executed. There’s no room for any discussion.” A voice was heard outside the door. Then, Xia Xiu rushed into the room and repeated what she said, “That person must be executed!”
Dong Ming and Zhou Kun immediately felt a headache coming on. They had not even managed to settle the two Xia family members in front of them and here came another one now.
“Brother Dong, Brother Zhou, it’s been a long time since we last met. I’m hereby requesting that the government and the military execute that person who violated the rules. Not only did she threaten the safety of soldiers like us, but she also threatened the lives of the soldiers’ families! I’m asking for the government to give our entire family an explanation! Otherwise… our entire family will apply to leave the military,” Xia Xiu shouted agitatedly.
“What nonsense are you saying! Xia Mao, talk some sense into your elder sister!” Dong Ming said anxiously.
Xia Mao and Xia Jun remained sitting and did not respond for a long time. They looked at Xia Xiu with a firm expression and also looked at Dong Ming and Zhou Kun sternly. This was the unanimous decision which the entire family had made after a discussion. Even if they all left the military, it would not affect their livelihood. The added plus point was they would be able to keep their families away from danger.
Although they had dreams and ambitions and wanted to devote themselves to the country, they could not accept that it could lead to such serious consequences for their family members.
“Brother Dong, I’m not spouting nonsense, I just want to seek justice for my family. If this matter is not dealt with seriously, then what will the other soldiers think when they carry out secret missions in the future? How can they ensure the safety of their families? We must make an example out of her. I hope that the organization will deal with this matter seriously and let this be a warning to everyone,” Xia Xiu said.
“Sigh… We also want to handle this matter seriously, but it’s not up to us to make the final decision. We have to follow the rules and do things one step at a time, don’t you agree? We need to listen to everyone’s opinions,” Dong Ming said.
“In that case, please suspend the duties of all our family members. We will stay at home and wait for your answer,” Xia Mao said calmly.
“Are you joking! There are so many Xia family members in the military. Don’t tell me that all of them want to stop work?” Zhou Kun said helplessly.
“Yes, all of us,” Xia Mao said firmly.
They had already discussed this issue with the second and third sons as well as Xiang Jin. Everyone supported Xia Mao’s idea and they were willing to be collectively suspended from duties while awaiting the trial and verdict of the military court..
