Chapter 2182: Too Cold
??
“Okay.” Ye Jian tilted her head and smiled at him. Her eyes were as gentle as ink. They were reserved and clean. Her mesmerizing gaze made its way into Xia Jinyuan’s heart.
Her smile was clean but also carried traces of stubbornness.
Just like in the mountains of Shuikou Village that year, she led their mountain patrol team through the dense forest and pointed in the direction of the criminals. When she looked back, she smiled at several of the male soldiers. Her eyes were like autumn waves and as bright as the stars. He would remember that sight of her forever.
Ye Ying had arrived at the conference room. Two armed guards stood to her left and right, hence she didn’t dare to be as impudent as she was outside, let alone scream.
Shoulders shaking, she sat in the cold leather conference chair with panic in her eyes.
She was afraid, so afraid that even though the conference room was fully heated, her hands and feet were still cold.
It was so cold that she could feel the chill in her bones.
It was too much. Too much! Her heart felt as if it was being gripped by a pair of huge, invisible hands. It became painful for her even to try to take deep breaths. She seemed to have lost the freedom to breathe.
The conference room was not small. The conference table alone could accommodate 20 seats. There was only Ye Ying and the two silent guards in the large conference room. The oppressive silence made Ye Ying listen to her own breathing.
...
No one walked into the conference room immediately. The first ones to enter the room were Commander Zhong and the instructor of the capital city’s political regiment, followed by Staff Officer Du, Madam Li, and Ye Jian.
As for Xia Jinyuan, he would walk in even if he was not allowed to.
“The Li family has lost so much face, yet you still dare to lie to me. Old Du, I want to know how the capital city’s political regiment will handle this!”
The domineering Madam Li did not hand over the videotape when she arrived at the military headquarters. Her assistant told her that the scene in the videotape was really unsightly. If she really took it out, it would only embarrass the Du family even more.
However, she was worried that if she didn’t take out the videotape, the capital city’s political regiment would go easy on Ye Ying. How could she be satisfied with that outcome?
Only by telling her husband in advance could she ensure that the capital city’s political regiment wouldn’t treat Ye Ying’s case lightly.
Staff Officer Du still didn’t know what had happened. Ye Zhifan’s divorce wasn’t enough to make his wife so angry.
If she didn’t mention anything in the car and wasn’t saying anything now, how was he going to talk to the capital city’s political regiment?
Moreover, did she forget that Ye Ying joined the army because of his recommendation? Besides, the procedure was handled in a day. It would be difficult for him to explain himself now.
Most importantly, even Old Xia knew about this matter. He couldn’t even resolve it secretly.
Staff Officer Du, who was not affected by his wife’s anger, asked calmly, “What exactly happened? At least let me know what’s going on. If you don’t tell me, how am I supposed to talk to the political regiment?
“Also, don’t forget that the reason why Ye Ying was able to enter the capital city’s political regiment was because of my recommendation.
“Tell me what’s going on now. When everyone arrives, I’ll have to go into the conference room.”
Du Jiayi tugged on Madam Li’s sleeve and whispered, “Mom, what happened? You scolded Ye Ying so fiercely just now. Did Assistant He tell you something about Ye Ying that made you angry? Since…”
Knock, knock, knock…
A knock on the door interrupted the three of them. A civilian pushed open the door and saluted as he reported, “Reporting. Commander Zhong and the instructor of the capital city’s political regiment have arrived. Please proceed to the conference room.”
