Chapter 977 What You Said Are Unreliable

“Sister Zhai Hua, what you said are unreliable.” Qiao Nan was blunt. “Whatever that you know about Wei De is not the real Wei De. He is the one who took the initiative to tell you everything about him. What I want to know is something other than what you heard from Wei De.”

Sister Zhai Hua believed in everything that Wei De said, and it might not be true.

“…” Zhai Hua had no way to rebut Qiao Nan. “Brother Zhai, I want to know everything about Wei De when he was in his hometown.” “How is this important to you?” Zhai Hua rushed in to ask.

“Okay.” Zhai Sheng agreed right away.

Qiao Nan sat down to drink water, saying with her relaxed tone, “Sister Zhai Hua, don’t be nervous. One will be able to know if it’s a mule or a horse by looking at it closely. In order to avoid any one of us having a prejudiced view of Wei De, and to be subjective when we talk about him, I think it is very necessary to have some in-depth understanding of Wei De. Sister Zhai Hua, what do you think? If the Wei family wants to know more about you and your childhood, will you be angry and object to it?” “No.” She had never done anything wrong. She had been upright since a young age. She did not mind that the Wei family wanted to know more about her.

The more the Wei family learned about her, the more they would realize that she was a good lady. “That’s it. Since you feel that Wei De is a good man, we should find a chance to prove that he is a good man. His current performance has been unsatisfactory. Therefore, I feel that we should look at it from another perspective so that there would not be any misunderstanding.” Qiao Nan was glad that Zhai Hua did not object to it.

After a few chats with her, Qiao Nan discovered that she must not take the harsh approach with Zhai Hua.

Only when Zhai Hua agreed with her would Zhai Hua be willing to take in whatever she told her.

If she took the harsh approach with her, Zhai Hua would not take in what she said. Zhai Sheng, who sat by the side, watched as his future wife laid a trap for Zhai Hua, and she fell for her trap unknowingly. Although she was his sister, he did not stop her or remind her.

In the past, he felt that Wei De was just an insignificant person and that Zhai Hua would break up with him after she had calmed down. Unfortunately, their relations.h.i.+p had dragged on for too long. They did not break up with each other and Zhai Hua committed a grave mistake because of Wei De.

Perhaps Nan Nan was right to do this. He had not been paying attention to Wei De. If he knew more about Wei De’s situation, he might be able to break them up.

Zhai Sheng trusted Qiao Nan wholeheartedly. He was occupied with his duties in the army and protecting the country’s interests.

He would trust Qiao Nan to handle the family affairs and troubles, giving her his fullest support.

In fact, Zhai Sheng had already trusted Qiao Nan with handling Wei De’s and Zhai Hua’s issues since last summer break. Therefore, he agreed to Qiao Nan’s request right away. “Pa.s.s me the information in the army. Let me take a look.”

“No need.” Zhai Hua, who thought long and hard about it, had a grim expression on her face. She frowned deeply as if she was troubled by something. “I know everything about Wei De. Qiao Nan, you can go ahead to ask me.”

“I have said that I want to know if there are any soldiers who are from Wei De’s hometown.” Qiao Nan reiterated that she did not want to know about Wei De. She wanted to know about other information. “Sister Zhai Hua, if it is inconvenient for you, I believe Brother Zhai will help me with it.”

Could Sister Zhai Hua be trying hard to help Wei De and cover up for him?

Was it possible that Sister Zhai Hua already knew what she had been suspecting about?

No way!

She did not even share her doubts with s.h.i.+ Qing. She only figured out what she was suspecting yesterday. How could Sister Zhai Hua know about it?

“You misunderstood what I meant. There is no need for Zhai Sheng to check the data to know who is from Wei De’s hometown. I can tell you directly. As far as I know, there is only one soldier in our camp who is from Wei De’s hometown. He is Platoon Leader Jiang.” Zhai Hua looked even grimmer and serious. “Platoon Leader Jiang?” Who was that?

Zhai Sheng, who was next to Zhai Hua, raised his eyebrows slightly. He gave her a glance before he explained to Qiao Nan. “He is the platoon leader who was implicated by Wei De and lost one of his legs.”

“Oh…” Qiao Nan gasped at this answer. “Is Wei De killing many birds with one stone?”

Platoon Leader Jiang was injured and lost a leg. He could no longer stay in the camp. Once he left, there would be a vacancy for the platoon leader-or rather, there would be a vacancy waiting for Wei De.

She used to think that what happened with Platoon Leader Jiang was an accident or that Wei De might have some harmless selfish agenda.

Today, Qiao Nan was suddenly concerned about the soldiers who were from Wei De’s hometown and wanted to find out more about Wei De from them.

It turned out that Platoon Leader Jiang was from Wei De’s hometown and he lost a leg and had to leave the army because of Wei De. The situation seemed to have changed all of a sudden.

“Brother Zhai, does it mean that apart from Sister Zhai Hua, the only person who knows about Wei De-Platoon Leader Jiang-is no longer at the camp?” Now that he was not around, it meant that everyone had to take Wei De’s words at face value.

Everyone only got to know about Wei De through whatever he told them. Wei De might have targeted Platoon Leader Jiang and caused him to get into an accident. She had reason to suspect that it was not a simple accident.

Platoon Leader Jiang was in a position that Wei De had been coveting. Furthermore, he was the only person in the army who truly knew about Wei De.

Zhai Hua had the same doubts as Qiao Nan.

That was why she had a grim look on her face. Up until today, Zhai Hua believed that Wei De yearned for instant success and went overboard, causing Platoon Leader Jiang to lose a leg and leave the army that he liked.

Although it was an unfortunate accident, Wei De was not intentional. n.o.body would want such an accident to happen. Back then, Zhai Hua acted bold and righteous and wanted Zhai Sheng to cover up for Wei De and to give a sum of money to Platoon Leader Jiang, hoping that he would leave the camp and put the matter to rest. Zhai Hua did so as she believed that Wei De was innocent.

To err was human.

Other people might misunderstand Wei De, but she would not.

But right now, Zhai Hua was no longer as confident as she was in the past. She felt a chill.

Zhai Hua could not help but ask herself, ‘Was what happened to Platoon Leader Jiang truly an unfortunate accident?’
