Chapter 1626: Must Handle Matters Impartially

Company Commander Qiu, frustrated by the lack of progress, said, "If you knew this would happen, why did you act that way in the first place? Begging me is useless."

Vice-Regiment Commander Fu had clearly come to support his wife; besides, Zhang Haizhen had indeed committed a mistake. As company commander, if he could not handle the matter impartially, he feared his tenure as company commander might be over.

Besides, what kind of place was their Communications Company, and what kind of place was the server room? It was the neural center of the army and the throat of combat operations; this was no joke.

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became: "Take her to the detention room for reflection and await further processing."

Hearing the company commander's words, Zhang Haizhen collapsed to the ground: "I only passed along a single sentence; you cannot treat me this way."

Fu Yan Cheng saw that the person had already been locked up; as for the punishment, it would certainly not be light.

His wife had registered for the college entrance exam; these few days she needed to focus on review. He was very busy and had no time to waste on such matters: "Company Commander Qiu, you monitor this matter; you must handle it impartially."

Fu Yan Cheng knew that his subordinate Ma Wuliang was dating Zhang Haizhen, but that person's character was unsound; it would be better to let them break up over this incident.

Of course, this was only his own thought; as for how Ma Wuliang would choose, that depended on his own will.

Ma Wuliang soon learned that Zhang Haizhen had been placed in detention.

He smoked outside the detention room all night, knowing that Vice-Regiment Commander Fu could not be blamed for this, nor could Liu Chuxue; Zhang Haizhen had brought this upon herself.

When dawn broke, he found his company commander and withdrew his marriage application.

The company commander patted his shoulder: "You make your own decision on this matter, but in the future you cannot blame Vice-Regiment Commander Fu and his wife. Not only is the victim your sister-in-law, but even if it were someone else, Zhang Haizhen was wrong, and the higher authorities would never tolerate such behavior."

It was precisely because her character was unsound that Ma Wuliang made the firm decision to break up.

Soon, the punishment result for Zhang Haizhen came down: expulsion and return to her original hometown.

Upon learning this result, Zhang Haizhen made a scene: "This is unfair!"

She also tried to use the excuse that similar incidents had occurred before (that person had not been expelled), and she revealed her relationship with Ma Wuliang, attempting to make the higher authorities reconsider.

Unfortunately, her situation was different from that previous person; that person had simply spoken carelessly, not intentionally, and indeed involved no interests nor harmed anyone.

But she was different; not only did she cause trouble for Liu Chuxue, but because Ma Wuliang always mentioned Liu Chuxue's capabilities, her many skills, and how she gave birth to triplets in one pregnancy, she had long harbored jealousy and intended to cause harm on this opportunity; the nature of the act was different.

No matter how much Zhang Haizhen made a scene, she was sent away.

After this incident, rumors spread among the Communications Company personnel that their company might be incompatible with Vice-Regiment Commander Fu's wife, because of her, three people had already been driven away: first Shen Yanru, then Jiang Xiaoya, and now Zhang Haizhen.

However, most people could still distinguish right from wrong; regardless of which one it was, they had all caused trouble first, so the blame truly could not be placed on Vice-Regiment Commander Fu's wife.

In the days that followed, Fu Yan Cheng rushed home immediately after daily training, since his wife's college entrance exam was the top priority for the family at this stage.

In fact, Liu Chuxue had said several times that she had never put down her textbooks these past years and that a casual review would suffice, but Fu Yan Cheng, Auntie Wei, and even Wei Wenbin were all extremely anxious, insisting she study peacefully and prepare fully for the exam.

Having no choice, she could only obey their words and stay in the room every day.

However, she only had a few hours each day for review; the rest of the time was spent translating the foreign-language materials in her hands.
