Hou Ning frowned at her superior opposite her and said with a puzzled expression, Well do what needs to be done. Sir, why are you looking for me?
Xu Long poured a cup of tea for Hou Ning and said with a gentle expression, You know that Li Mu is from the military. If this matter gets out, it would be bad for our reputation.
What I mean is to ask your father to speak up and ask the Lu and Mu families not to spread this matter first. When the matter is investigated, if Li Mu really did something immoral, well deal with it secretly.
Hou Nings expression darkened. Sir, this matter involves so many students. Even if the Lu and Mu families didnt say anything and didnt leak it, there were so many people present at that time. How can you be sure that no one would leak the news? At that time, if they find out that Li Mu really broke the law and that we deliberately covered it up, we would become an accomplice.
Hou Ning, what are you saying? Xu Longs expression darkened. Then, he asked with a probing expression, Dont tell me youve gotten close to the Li Familys enemy recently, so you plan to use this matter to directly get rid of Li Mu?
Hou Ning picked up her teacup and smiled. Then, she took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said slowly, Sir, Im very hurt by you saying that. Speaking of the people that Im close to recently, isnt it you Sir?
If Li Mu didnt do anything, shouldnt my father investigate to the end to prove Li Mus innocence and prove that our military doesnt have people who do dirty things? Isnt that good?
Hou Ning paused for a moment and placed the teacup in her hand on the table. Then, she asked softly, Is it true that Li Mu was playing with the female students?
Xu Long was stunned by Hou Nings question. He didnt know if it was true, but the higher-ups wanted him to talk to Hou Ning. Even if it wasnt true, he was still a little involved.
However, he couldnt say anything at this moment. He immediately pulled a long face and said in a reprimanding tone, What nonsense are you talking about? This matter isnt clear yet. Do you think its appropriate for you to speculate about your comrades like this? You dont trust your comrades and the discipline of the military. Hou Ning, theres something wrong with your mind!
Hou Ning chuckled. Sir, is it that serious? I was just asking casually. Why are you so agitated? I believe in Li Mus innocence and the restrictions of military discipline on Li Mu. I also believe that my father is an upright man and he will definitely clear Li Mus and our name.
Xu Long originally wanted Hou Ning to persuade Du Jun to be flexible, but Hou Ning could not be persuaded no matter what. Xu Long waved at Hou Ning angrily. After Hou Ning left, he reported Hou Nings att.i.tude.
At this moment, Li Mu, who was at the police station, insisted that he did not partic.i.p.ate in the a.s.sault of the female students this time. The reason why he partic.i.p.ated in this grat.i.tude banquet was to secretly investigate the problems in the support network.
In order to clear his name, Li Mu directly emphasized that the person in the room with him this time was Lin Yin. Lin Yin was not a sponsored student, and nothing had happened between the two of them.
What he did was pretend to be a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t and touch Lin Yin a few times to make it more believable. He did not do anything overboard.
On the other hand, Lin Yin broke his ribs.
The next morning, when he heard the news from the police station, Mu Ran gritted his teeth in anger and said hatefully, That old thing actually said that carefully removed Yinyins makeup and said that a student shouldnt have such thick makeup. He made himself look like a saint. Hes too shameless.
Lin Yin recalled the scene at that time. According to what Li Mu said, there didnt seem to be anything wrong. It was just that she was still sure what Li Mu was thinking.
I used to think that Li Mu was clean and honest. He didnt get married at the age of 40 and was focused on his career. I didnt expect him to be so shameless in private! Ye Wen was furious as she carefully applied medicine on Lin Yin.
Mom knows Li Mu? Lin Yin asked softly.
Weve met a few times. More than 20 years ago, he was a soldier under Fu Xi, Ye Wen said.
Ye Wen only remembered it after she returned. Li Mu had been a soldier in Fu Xis hands back then. When he first entered the military, Li Mu was only 15 or 16 years old. According to Fu Xi, he was a fair and slender young man.
