Chapter 731: Chapter 731: The Chiang Family Suffers a Big Loss
Flowers bloom on both branches, each displaying a single blossom.
While Cheng Su’s family was still mired in trouble, far away in Beijing, the Chiang Family was equally in disarray.
Jiang Conghe finally met with his immediate superior, but what he received was a reprimand. He was criticized for being a commander who allowed his wife to commit violence, assisted his daughter in snatching a husband, failed to distinguish right from wrong, and caused an extremely adverse impact, chilling the hearts of the soldiers.
Jiang Conghe could only say it was all a misunderstanding and an accident; his wife didn’t seek to take someone else’s husband but was merely apologizing to the daughter, and an unexpected incident occurred. For this, he also expressed deep regret.
The primary reason for the incident was that Chiang Qing suddenly lost control of her emotions and experienced some mental issues, which led to such consequences.
As he spoke of his sorrow, Jiang Conghe even shed a few tears, saying he would kneel before Commander Qi to seek forgiveness if he could.
Given the significance of the upcoming military parade later in the year, and the nature of the scandal, everyone knew that it couldn’t be allowed to spread; it had to be dealt with privately.
Now that Jiang Conghe had voiced his concerns, Director Wang wouldn’t push him to the brink. After all, there are two sides to every story, and resolving the issue without impact was the best outcome.
Nevertheless, this didn’t mean Jiang Conghe was off the hook. The incident would be marked against him, and he still needed to offer reassurances to Qi Taiguo and others, considering they were excellent soldiers whose spirits shouldn’t be dampened.
Jiang Conghe had no choice but to accept the resolution, yet he clenched his teeth in hatred.
Having this mark against him was a blemish, which would significantly affect his future prospects. But not covering it up could lead to even worse consequences.
"Commander Chiang, about the schedule report for consoling Comrade Qi Taiguo, the military parade is looming in the second half of the year. Please resolve this matter at your earliest convenience!" Ning Gang stated emphatically to Jiang Conghe.
A flash of annoyance passed through Jiang Conghe’s eyes as he replied with a forced smile, "Thank you for the reminder. Rest assured, I will provide an explanation to our soldiers."
Ning Gang’s lips curled slightly as he walked past him.
Jiang Conghe was so angry he felt like he could smoke.
For a commander to plead and mollify a company commander was a slap in the face, like silently eating a bitter pill— it felt as though he had swallowed needles, pricking painfully at his throat.
And then there was Ning Gang, with his smug look; Jiang Conghe truly wanted to tear his face apart.
Seething with rage, Jiang Conghe got into his car and commanded, "To the Loo Family."
The Old Master Loo was a spirited old man with a ruddy complexion and bright eyes. If one looked closely, they could see the cold ruthlessness and cruelty that occasionally flashed through his demeanor.
Upon hearing his son-in-law’s tale, Old Master Loo snorted and glared at him, "You managed to mess up such a small matter, and now you’re blaming Qingqing? Is that the extent of your capability?"
Jiang Conghe had come for advice, but his first response was a scolding. His face turned purple with barely suppressed fury.
Old Master Loo, seeing his reaction, grew colder and scolded him, "Am I wrong? Blaming an innocent daughter is a good tactic? Claiming your daughter is mentally ill will ruin her prospects for marriage. You really don’t have a brain!"
Jiang Conghe dared not argue, he simply bowed his head, thinking bitterly that if he had come for advice earlier, why hadn’t the elder come up with a better solution then?
"Has Shufen been confirmed suspended?" Old Master Loo asked.
"Yes," Jiang Conghe replied.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Loo became furious. He smashed his favorite purple sand pot and exclaimed, "You’ve taken such a loss at the hands of an unknown company commander, you’re all very capable, indeed!"
With his daughter suspended and his son-in-law consoling others, the Loo Family had taken a silent loss. Most importantly, they had lost face, which had never happened to the smoothly sailing Loo Family before.
