Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby! Chapter 285 - 284: You Dare Mess With My Wife? I’ll Make You

The arithtic booklet in Mr. Wang’s hand fell to the ground with a "snap".

His entire body shook, as if soone had pulled out his backbone.

The two young clerks following behind him lost all color in their faces, lowered their heads, and dared not look at anyone.

"Mr. Wang."

Mr. Chen’s voice was devoid of warmth.

"My old friend bled for the country, is he not even worthy of a bit of hosickness?"

Qian Zhenhua also stepped forward, picking up the booklet from the ground and brushing off the dust.

"Mr. Wang, are these a hundred thousand textbooks a ’capitalist’ action orchestrated by our education bureau in collaboration with Mr. Lin?"

Mr. Wang’s lips trembled, unable to utter a word.

He had co today to conduct an inspection.

To establish his authority.

But now, he himself had beco the one being tried.

Outside the courtyard, the neighbors who were watching the commotion through the cracks in the door and over the wall, had already erupted.

"Oh my! Mr. Chen has personally co!"

"And the leaders from the education bureau! Such a high regard!"

"I always said Wanyi isn’t that kind of person! Surely soone was jealous and stabbed her in the back!"

Voices of discussion surged into the courtyard like a tide.

Mr. Wang finally couldn’t take it anymore, and he suddenly turned to Lin Wan Yi, bending at the waist.

A bow nearing ninety degrees.

"Mr. Lin! I’m sorry!"

His voice was hoarse, filled with remorse.

"We were not thorough in our investigation! Our work was careless! I... I apologize to you!"

"I’ll go back imdiately and write a self-criticism!"

Gu Lan watched the scene, and the anger that had been stifled in her heart finally dissipated by half.

Lin Wan Yi held onto the door fra, saying nothing.

At that mont.

Gu Yanshen ca out from behind her, standing in front of her.

He was like a mountain, shielding her from all of Mr. Wang’s sight.

"An apology?"

Gu Yanshen’s voice was very calm, with no trace of joy or anger.

But Mr. Wang felt as if drenched in ice water, shivering.

"Gu... Mr. Gu..."

"My wife has been wronged, and an apology is enough?"

Gu Yanshen stepped forward.

Mr. Wang instinctively stepped back.

"This letter is not a misunderstanding."

Gu Yanshen’s words pierced the heart of the matter.

"It’s a fra-up, it’s defamation."

"The target of defamation is a soldier’s spouse."

"The purpose is to destroy internal unity in our military district, to shake military morale."

He spoke slowly and clearly, defining the nature of the matter.

This was no longer a trivial neighborhood squabble, but a serious issue elevated to a political level.

The cold sweat on Mr. Wang’s collar soaked through.

He knew that today’s issue could not be easily solved.

Gu Yanshen looked at him.

"The complaint letter states a real-na report."

"I want to know who it is."

"Investigate thoroughly, no leniency."

His words were not a negotiation; they were orders.

Gu Zhen Guo, who stood silently on the side, finally spoke.

He slamd his fist on the stone table in the yard, making a loud "bang".

"Mr. Wang!"

Gu Zhen Guo shouted.

"What my son said is my own intention!"

"Before dark today, if you can’t find out who this person is, I’ll personally visit your disciplinary committee!"

"Since when did soone like my daughter-in-law get bullied by such despicable people!"

The commander’s thunderous anger completely shattered Mr. Wang’s last defense.

Mr. Wang nearly ran away with his people, stumbling.

Mr. Chen and Director Qian exchanged a glance, nodded in satisfaction, and bid farewell one after the other.

The courtyard finally returned to peace.

The entire military district compound, however, was stirred up because of this matter.

The efficiency of Mr. Wang’s investigation team was astonishing.

In less than three hours.

The person who wrote the complaint letter was identified.

It was by no ans a "real-na report".

The complainant was the wife of Director Zhang from the logistics departnt, Li Hongxia.

Previously, she entrusted soone to try to exchange a hundred industrial tickets with Lin Wan Yi for a painting, but was rebuffed by Gu Lan on the spot.

She harbored resentnt, thus devising such a vicious sche.

At four in the afternoon.

Li Hongxia was "invited" to the door of Gu Family Courtyard by two clerks.

Her hair was disheveled, face stained with tears, looking completely miserable.

Mr. Wang personally escorted her.

This ti, following him were not only people from the disciplinary committee but also leaders from the logistics departnt.

The courtyard gate was wide open.

Half the compound had gathered around, pointing and whispering.

"It’s her! I knew it was her! Last ti she complained to how Lin Wan Yi was unappreciative!"

"Such a venomous heart! Trying to trade soone’s painting for a hundred industrial tickets, couldn’t trade it, so resorting to reporting!"

"People like her should be paraded through the streets!"

Li Hongxia could not lift her head under the gazes of everyone.

The leader of logistics departnt, with a stern face, shouted at her, "Li Hongxia! Look what you’ve done! Quickly apologize to Mr. Lin!"

Li Hongxia almost collapsed to her knees with a "thud".

She wailed toward the door where Lin Wan Yi stood.

"Mr. Lin... I was wrong... I was really wrong..."

"I was montarily confused... I was jealous of you... I’m not human..."

As she spoke, she began to slap her own face.

"Slap! Slap!"

The sound was crisp.

Lin Wan Yi just calmly watched her, saying nothing.

Gu Lan stood beside her sister-in-law, her face cold.

"Now you know you’re wrong? Why didn’t you consider the consequences when you wrote that letter?"

"You almost destroyed my sister-in-law’s reputation! Ruined my brother’s future!"

Li Hongxia sobbed even harder, almost collapsing to the ground.

In the end, Mr. Wang publicly announced the result.

"Decided by the military district disciplinary committee research."

"Comrade Li Hongxia, maliciously defad a military spouse, disrupting internal unity with extrely negative impact."

"She is ordered to write a deep written self-criticism and post it on the military district bulletin board for a month!"

"Her husband Director Zhang, being lenient at ho, receives a major derit once and is disqualified from all excellence evaluations this year!"

As the result ca out, voices of approval spread through the crowd.

Upon hearing her husband was also implicated, Li Hongxia fainted with a roll of her eyes.

Thus the farce ended.

After the turmoil, Gu Family Courtyard returned to tranquility.

After dinner, Gu Yanshen received a phone call.

It was from Mr. Chen’s residence.

He replied a few tis over the phone.

"Alright."

"I understand."

"Thank you."

After hanging up, he walked over to Lin Wan Yi, who was playing with the children.

"Mr. Chen just had his steward call."

Lin Wan Yi looked up.

Gu Yanshen looked at her, his usually stern face showing a rare hint of tenderness.

"He recomnded your painting ’Animal City’ to the editor-in-chief of Renminhua Magazine."

"The counterpart said they were very interested."

Renminhua Magazine!

What kind of place is that?

It’s where matters of state are printed, a magazine only for the big leaders!

This news spread like wildfire through the entire military district compound overnight.

"Have you heard? Gu Family’s daughter-in-law is going to be featured in Renminhua Magazine!"

"My God! Is it true? What kind of immortal stuff did she paint?"
