Chapter 2013: Who Said That?
The two men did not want to let things go. They thought that they were in the right; they did not make the first move.
“This matter is indeed not over yet.”
Lu Xingzhi’s face was cold. “Have you forgotten why Xiao Shan made the first move? Do you think that he was picking a fight with you? If that’s the case, then I will punish him.”
Lu Xingzhi shouted, “Lock him up for one night! Double his training until the day before the physical fitness competition!”
“Yes, Colonel!” Xiao Shan immediately accepted the order; it was only one night in the lock-up. He would be out the next day. It was not like he would starve or freeze. His level of training was up to the colonel.
Colonel Lu had the right to punish them for fighting and brawling. However, it would be a serious crime if Colonel Lu wanted to pursue the matter of gossiping about his wife behind her back.
Lu Xingzhi brought the two other men to the chief in the middle of the night.
Most people would want to hide such a shameful matter. Most men would not want to hear it, let alone speak about it.
However, Lu Xingzhi was not afraid. He knew that the baby was his, and he knew that the kidnappers did not rape Jiang Yao. So, he was not scared of the rumors.
“Don’t you know our rules?”

The two men also realized the seriousness ot the problem after the chiet scolded them.
They were not even discussing an ordinary person. Even if it involved the wife of a soldier, it was never good if the chief had to deal with it. They had the audacity to gossip about a colonel’s wife.
One of the soldiers was quick to defend himself. “Chief, we didn’t say that. Everyone in the entire unit is talking about it. We only mentioned a few words when we came out to get some fresh air. We also heard it from other people.” “Who did you hear it from?” Zhou Junmin quickly asked.
...
Lu Xingzhi and the others thought it would take some time for the rumors to spread. They did not expect that soldier to reveal where they heard it from immediately. The name surprised everyone. It did not seem like there was someone who was that surprised.
“Colonel Ye’s daughter, Ye Xueli.”
The soldier answered quickly. “I heard her talking to an older lady when I passed by the snack shop a few days ago. She said she lived next door to
Colonel Lu, so she knew about it. She also said
That person hesitated and did not dare to say it out loud.
“Continue the chief said. He furrowed his brow when he heard that name..
