Chapter 225: Chapter 5 Investigation

"Where are you going? Let me tell you, this is the dormitory assigned to you. If you don’t live here, then go live in the doghouse." Seeing Gu Xiaoxi run ahead, Lu Xiao chased after her, utterly furious.

Gu Xiaoxi, from a distance, heard Lu Xiao’s voice and sneered. She didn’t believe there was no one in charge around here.

She found the company commander’s office and went straight in. Especially with her swift and forceful actions, she seemed slightly incensed.

She didn’t care that there was someone with the company commander; she strode forward, sat down opposite him, and said indifferently, "I want to file a complaint against someone! And while you’re at it, please give me a different dormitory!"

The company commander of the Sixth Unit’s logistics department, Hong Wenqiang, was receiving an important guest. He was slightly dissatisfied with Gu Xiaoxi’s sudden intrusion, and he felt her tone was somewhat childish, clearly like that of a spoiled troublemaker.

"Who are you? Who do you want to complain about, and why do you want to change dormitories?" Hong Wenqiang asked with a cold expression.

"My name is Gu Xiaoxi, I just arrived today. I want to complain about the girl from Dorm 405, Qin Weiwei, and that dorm manager, Lu Xiao!"

"In what way do you want to complain?" Hong Wenqiang quietly raised an eyebrow; it was rare for him to encounter a female soldier so daring as to come here and file a complaint against his people.

"Bullying the newcomer!" Gu Xiaoxi did not mince her words, describing the day’s events to the company commander.

After listening to all this, Hong Wenqiang immediately looked down and pondered for a moment, then said, "Surely, you need evidence for such accusations!"

He was patiently responding to Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes. She had no evidence for today’s incident; no matter what, she would be at a disadvantage. However, if Zheng Tongtong and the others confessed, that would be the only breakthrough.

On second thought, if Qin Weiwei was framing her, surely Zheng Tongtong and the others would have something on them leveraged by her.

They wouldn’t easily reveal the truth.

In that case, no matter what, she wouldn’t be able to find evidence to prove that Qin Weiwei was framing her.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi fall silent, Hong Wenqiang sneered, "As a recruit, you should keep a lower profile. My office is not a place for you to barge into! Since you have no evidence, you should go back to where you came from. Let’s pretend your intrusion today never happened."

"You..." Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t expected to be rebuffed here as well. It was also to blame for Qin Weiwei’s trap being too well-laid, biting back at her quite severely.

Gu Xiaoxi’s face darkened as she clenched her fists in anger.

"Pfft..." Just then, the person sitting next to her, the important guest Hong Wenqiang was receiving, could no longer contain his laughter.

Gu Xiaoxi, annoyed, turned towards the sound, only to see Xu Jingshen sitting next to her, trying to hold in laughter, making his facial expressions particularly entertaining.

Previously, when she had burst into the room, she had not paid attention to the people around her. Now, upon closer inspection, wasn’t it someone she knew?

"What’s so funny?" Gu Xiaoxi coughed awkwardly, her face turning red.

"I never thought I’d see you at a disadvantage. That’s quite a rare sight," Xu Jingshen said, laughing. He found it more amusing than discovering a new continent.

Gu Xiaoxi’s face turned from red to green in an instant.

If she hadn’t been schemed against by someone petty, would she be in such an embarrassing situation? "You’re laughing at me, aren’t you? I’m not in a good mood today; don’t provoke me."

Gu Xiaoxi now fully understood the old saying: men of pettiness and women are the most troublesome to deal with! She had actually fallen into Qin Weiwei’s trap.

Damn it! She felt humiliated.

"Okay, don’t get angry. Let me give you a shoulder rub. Tell me what happened, and I’ll take care of it for you," Xu Jingshen said with a chuckle, moving closer to tenderly start massaging Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulders. His eagerness was clear to see, and anybody could tell that Gu Xiaoxi commanded respect in Xu Jingshen’s eyes.

Hong Wenqiang was astonished, then snapped back to reality. He immediately stood up and was filled with surprise at Xu Jingshen’s warm treatment of Gu Xiaoxi.

In contrast, Gu Xiaoxi sat with her legs crossed, looking unimpressed. It seemed as if she didn’t care much for him...

"General Sir, is this... Do you know Miss Gu?" When Hong Wenqiang asked this, his attitude towards Gu Xiaoxi changed drastically.

Thus, Xu Jingshen glanced at Hong Wenqiang, "Technically, Miss Gu is also one of our instructors who has given us lectures. I have always held great respect for my teachers."

What teacher?...

Hong Wenqiang was somewhat baffled!

A girl who was punished to come to such an insignificant place turned out to be a young lady who had given lessons to General Sir!

He could hardly believe it. Could he be dreaming in broad daylight?

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly stood up and pushed away Xu Jingshen’s hand, her tone cold as she said, "Forget it, looking for you is pointless. I’m going to find Xiang Yuncheng. I really want to ask him how his territory could have such people."

"Hey, Miss Gu, if it’s something I can solve, then don’t take it up with the captain. It’ll be troublesome... Why don’t you explain to me what’s going on? I swear I’ll get to the bottom of it," Hong Wenqiang immediately stepped forward and hurriedly explained.

Gu Xiaoxi stopped and raised her eyebrows, glaring at the man in front of her. Previously, he hadn’t bothered to ask what had happened and simply blamed her for being thoughtless.

Now he remembered to investigate!

He looked down on her...

Hong Wenqiang saw that Gu Xiaoxi was staring at him without speaking, so he immediately turned to Xu Jingshen and hastened to lighten the mood with a chuckle, "General Sir, you said you came here looking for someone. Could it be Miss Gu? Look at me, I was so busy I got confused. Since it happened on my watch, I’ll make sure it’s handled properly."

"If that’s the case, it would be for the best. I’ve known Miss Gu for some time now, and she’s not the type to be trivial. This matter, you’d better thoroughly investigate and give her the justice she deserves," Xu Jingshen’s words were extremely tactful but factual nonetheless.

Although he hadn’t interacted much with Miss Gu, her abilities were exceptional, and she was upright in character. Even if she had some tricks up her sleeve, they were harmless.

What’s more, with her fiery temper, he could believe she might hit someone, but she had no motive to pour water on someone else’s bed.

Seeing that Xu Jingshen had spoken, Hong Wenqiang immediately nodded and said to Gu Xiaoxi attentively, "Miss Gu, I’ll start the investigation for you right now. I’ll make sure to clear your name."

Gu Xiaoxi snorted coldly, slung her bag over her shoulder, and walked briskly towards the exit.

Hong Wenqiang acknowledged Xu Jingshen with a nod and immediately left.

It was not until the two had gone that Xu Jingshen remembered he had something important to discuss with Gu Xiaoxi.

It seemed that he wouldn’t be able to find her now.

If he hadn’t misheard, Gu Xiaoxi had said earlier that her phone was broken.

So, he immediately made a call, ordering one of his soldiers to fetch a high-end, high-spec military-grade phone and bring it over.

He thought that by the time Hong Wenqiang had sorted things out, his soldier would probably have brought the item.

Dormitory 405.

Qin Weiwei was talking with Lu Xiao, while the other four girls kept them company.

Suddenly, Zheng Tongtong beside them fell silent.

Curious, Qin Weiwei followed Zheng Tongtong’s gaze and saw the company commander entering with Gu Xiaoxi. Especially Gu Xiaoxi, with her beautiful appearance and her casual demeanor, she was enviable.

Lu Xiao’s expression changed, and she immediately stood up, saluting the commander, "Commander Sir! May I ask what’s the matter?"

"There is a matter! Everyone stand straight, I need to investigate something thoroughly," Hong Wenqiang said with a cold demeanor.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiaoxi stood behind Hong Wenqiang with her bag, her chin held high and her eyes scanning the ceiling, as if she were unrelated to the situation.

Qin Weiwei felt an ominous premonition. She had never expected that Gu Xiaoxi would actually bring the commander here.

The girls in the dormitory immediately stood up straight.

Hong Wenqiang’s glance swept over everyone, making them all break out in a cold sweat. Then, with a stern tone, he said, "I want to know what happened just now. Qin Weiwei, did you really break Gu Xiaoxi’s phone?"

"No! Absolutely not! Her phone was already broken, and she’s pinning it on me. Look, my bed is still wet from her. And Zheng Tongtong and the others saw it all," Qin Weiwei immediately declared, her face not betraying any sign of guilt.

Gu Xiaoxi crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes, and let out a cold laugh. Pretend, keep pretending, let’s see how long you can keep it up.

Hong Wenqiang coughed, then immediately turned to look at Zheng Tongtong, his gaze growing colder as he demanded, "Tell me, what did you see?"

Zheng Tongtong shivered with fright, her gaze instinctively seeking Qin Weiwei’s face.

Her obviously guilty expression didn’t escape Hong Wenqiang’s eyes and in the next second, he understood the situation entirely.

Thus, his tone became even more detached, "This is the military. I do not want to see anyone engaging in behavior that tarnishes the image of the military. Speak up, Zheng Tongtong. I am taking charge of this matter today."

Zheng Tongtong looked down, her words hesitating and jumbled as she glanced between Gu Xiaoxi and Hong Wenqiang. Her expressions shifted dramatically, yet she couldn’t utter a single word.

Then, Hong Wenqiang turned his gaze to the other people in the dormitory, his face turning a steel shade of blue as he warned, "If any of you lie, you’re breaking military regulations, and I have the authority to issue your immediate discharge."

His words were ruthless, absolute!
