Chapter 978 So What If Wei De Had Been Trampled on by Qiao Nan?

What if… what if that was not the case?

Zhai Hua’s expression turned very ugly. There was also an aura of sullenness around Zhai Sheng. It made people feel gloomy and dare not approach him, lest they become injured by accident.

After some time, Zhai Sheng then broke this suffocating and uneasy silence. “Nan Nan, what do you wish to find out?” After finding Wei De’s fellow townsman, Nan Nan must have something to enquire about from him.

“Regardless of how trivial they are, tell us everything that he knows about Wei De. He has to tell us the truth exactly as it is, without missing a word and without hiding anything. Even if they are from the same hometown, they don’t live in the same village. Hence, Platoon Leader Jiang’s knowledge is also limited. Initially, I was hoping that you can allow Wei De’s fellow townsman to return to his hometown for about a month so that he can spend some time to go to Wei De’s village to find out about Wei De’s situation. Given the capability of the soldier in your army, he should not be easily fooled and thus bring back some false information, right?”

It was highly possible that Wei De was the only soldier from that village. He was also currently the most successful person from that place.

Facing such a junior, regardless of the mistakes that Wei De had committed previously, the elders in the village would definitely side with him foolishly.

As she was aware of this, Qiao Nan wanted to request for one month of leave on behalf of the person who was returning to Wei De’s hometown for the investigation.

“I understand your intention.” Without the need for Qiao Nan to continue further, Zhai Sheng could already guess Qiao Nan’s plan. “Zhai Hua, what is your say on this matter? Do you want to investigate?”

This matter implicated Zhai Hua, the party concerned. Zhai Sheng’s deep eyes were looking at Zhai Hua coldly. He wanted to know whether Zhai Hua would still continue to deceive herself at this point in time.

Zhai Hua gritted her teeth. She then squeezed out the word ‘investigate!’ from her teeth.

If Platoon Leader Jiang’s matter was not an accident but what she and Zhai Sheng had suspected, the more she had to support Qiao Nan’s plan.

If Wei De did not have many secrets in his hometown, he did not need to be so merciless to cause someone to lose one leg, forcing the person out of the army.

Wei De had been so vicious. This also proved that Wei De was trying to hide something that was far from the ordinary.

Zhai Hua had already been persuaded by Qiao Nan and had gradually seen Wei De’s shortcomings. She was also beginning to feel unhappy with Wei De.

Now, such a huge loophole appeared on Wei De. Regardless of how much Zhai Hua trusted Wei De, she was not willing to be a muddleheaded ghost anymore.

If Wei De was a good man who was open and honest in his ways, there was nothing to be afraid of.

The clearer they got to the bottom of Wei De’s family situation, the opposing voices would also become softer when they become together in the future.

If…

If there was any problem with Wei De, she also did not wish to continue being foolish. She wanted to fully understand what kind of person the Wei De that she had loved and been together with for so many years was. “…” Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng were determined to get to the bottom of the matter. Qiao Nan pursed her lips unhappily. “However, Platoon Leader Jiang has already returned to his hometown. He had lost his leg and also much of his ability to go on with his daily life. You still want to enslave him to investigate this matter? It’s not appropriate!”

“Don’t worry. I will make arrangements on this matter.” Zhai Sheng consoled Qiao Nan. Undoubtedly, it was best to get a scout to investigate this kind of matter.

However, Zhai Sheng was not used to utilizing the army’s resources to resolve his family matter.

He could not use the scouts in the army. Nevertheless, those former scouts under his wings who had already retired now had the opportunity to perform.

Upon hearing Zhai Sheng’s plan and arrangement, Qiao Nan then truly let down her worries. “Fine. You are more familiar with people from this line. Brother Zhai, tell the other party not to be anxious. He can take his time to ensure the accuracy of the information that he has gathered. More haste, less speed. Even if Wei De has deliberately schemed for Platoon Leader Jiang to leave the army, he is very successful and earning a lot of money now. I remember that when he picked Wei Wei from his hometown to come to Ping Cheng, he mentioned that he had donated a sum of money to his hometown.” Wei De was the most successful one in that village. Now, he even gave them some money.

Regardless of the reason, she was afraid that people from his hometown would side with him at all costs and refuse to tell ‘outsiders’ about Wei De’s situation or the ugly side of him.

Even if they wished to get to the bottom of Wei De’s background, the mission would be extremely difficult if the people in the hometown would not cooperate with the scout sent by Brother Zhai.

In that case, if Brother Zhai’s scout lacked patience, the mission would certainly fail.

“He will be able to handle this well.” Zhai Sheng was quite confident of the soldiers that he had nurtured before.

If he could not even properly find out Wei De’s background, he had better not mention to others that he was once under Zhai Sheng’s wings in the future.

“Alright, I’m hanging up then.” After removing the heaviest stone in her heart, Qiao Nan hung up the phone swiftly. She then went to the library to read.

After dumping such a huge bomb, Qiao Nan seemed as though nothing had happened. She did what she was expected to do.

As someone who had not completely broken up with Wei De, naturally, Zhai Hua could not possibly take it as well as Qiao Nan. She was feeling very gloomy. Her expression was especially ugly. Zhai Sheng was furious at her disappointing ways. “What are you pondering about? Or are you quietly finding excuses for Wei De?” “No.” Zhai Hua sighed again. She smiled grimly and leaned back. “You don’t know about this, do you? When I first told Wei De about Qiao Nan and you, Wei De expressed to me many times that Qiao Nan is not compatible with you, that she is young and insensible. Perhaps she accepted your love because of the Zhai family and not you. At that time, I had been thinking… You don’t even have the slightest care about a mature beauty like Qiu Chenxi, who is compatible with you in terms of status and family background, yet Qiao Nan can hold on to your hand. At the very least, this proved that she is a young lady who has very capable means.”

This kind of young lady was very scary. Many would feel guarded against her.

She was deeply afraid that Qiao Nan had hidden malicious intent and harbored bad thoughts on the Zhai family. Qiao Nan even wanted to make use of her only brother.

“I didn’t think much then. Now, when I think back, Wei De was looking down on Qiao Nan. He thinks that Qiao Nan’s family background is too poor and totally can’t be compared to the Zhai family.”

Although Qiao Nan was such a lousy young lady in the eyes of Wei De, Zhai Hua understood her very well. There was no doubt about her character at all.

On the contrary, she started to realize that she knew very little of the man that she loved and wanted to marry after he criticized Qiao Nan in a bold and dignified manner.

“Zhai Sheng, if I tell Wei De now that it is highly possible that he will be subdued by the Qiao Nan whom he had looked down on most in the past, that he will be completely trampled upon by her, how do you think he will react?”
