Recording… Recording…
Ye Ying, whose spirit had flown away from shock, stared with wide eyes, recording… no… no, that can’t be played, how is that possible… she had clearly destroyed the recording tape, so how did they have another one?
No, this isn’t happening…
“This recording was received by the receptionist of my company today, and I was only informed about it just now.” Soon after, Madam Li appeared in the conference room, wearing an overcoat; she was sticking out in the entire conference room. However, she had a strong aura around her, she calmly and level-headedly sat down and continued talking: “Everyone, this doesn’t have much to do with Old Du, this is all because I trusted in the wrong person and didn’t tell Old Du to make detailed investigations, and I assertively recommended her to join the Beijing Political Party.”
“Ye Ying does have talent, and she’s adept in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, since the moment I got to know her and heard how she wanted to become an Arts soldier, coincidentally….”
Madam Li laughed bitterly; she told them how she started to like Ye Ying and how she managed to get Ye Ying into the Beijing Political Party, “… It’s all my fault, ending up bringing shame to our armies.”
“I know she must be punished, so even if I have to disregard this old face of mine, I would still speak the truth; if everyone here doesn’t believe in me, then we can watch the recording now, then you’ll know that I didn’t say anything false.”
“Yesterday, it was my daughter’s birthday, and I really liked Ye Ying, so I specifically brought her to meet my own friends, and even complimented her for being thoughtful and abide by the rules, who knew things would’ve gone south so quickly, it is all my fault for putting everyone in a hard place, and for bringing shame to the military.”
Standing up to bow down and apologize, Madam Li had taken all of the responsibility unto herself, instead of putting her husband in a hard spot and leaving some dirt for Xia Xinhui, it was better to take the embarrassment herself.
When the courageous Madam Li knew her daughter couldn’t get into the conference room, she immediately made a prompt decision and went to look for Supreme Commander Xia; after surrendering the recording, she had completely shattered the last of Ye Ying’s hopes.
Evidence was essential in doing anything, so they needed to know what was taken on the recording as if plunged into an icy cave; Ye Ying watched as the security guards pushed the recording tape into the machine after the pictures flickered through… Ye Ying was so frightened that her eyes were rolling up uncontrollably.
This was already the limit of her mental stress capacity.
“…Ye Ying’s behavior had violated several regulations listed in our country’s 《Military Service Law》and 《Regulations of Yunnan Province’s Military Recruitment》, we will penalize her immediately, and it is decided that Ye Ying will be discharged immediately and be fined a hundred thousand Yuan.”
“At the same time, she will be immediately repatriated to Yunnan’s Bureau of Public Security, making them do a full investigation on the case where Ye Ying collaborated with the local gangsters to persecute Military Academy Student, Ye Jian.”
“For the next ten years, Ye Ying is forbidden from becoming a civil servant, and being hired into state-owned business units, neither can she conduct procedures for going abroad and studying abroad, effective immediately.”
Ye Ying didn’t faint because her emotions fluctuated too much; she was pressed down into her seat by two security guards as she listened to the Beijing Political Party’s instructor reading out the verdict.
Discharged, being handed over to the Bureau of Public Security… Ye Ying, whose face was snow-white, struggled even harder as she shrieked, “No, I’m not discharging, I don’t want to return to Yunnan, Dad, save me, Dad, save me please.”
“I don’t want to return to Yunnan, and I don’t want to get discharged… I’m sorry, Sir, I’m sorry, I won’t dare to do this anymore, I won’t dare anymore. I’m really sorry; I beg you to not discharge me.”
Nobody batted an eye, Deputy Chief of Staff Du was the first person to leave the conference room with a dark look on his face this time around; he had been utterly disgraced by a measly Arts soldier!
“Don’t go, nooo! Ye Jian, can you please stop the Leadership? I’m begging you; I’ll apologize to you, I’m really sorry, I beg you to save me, I don’t want to get discharged, I don’t want to go to the Bureau of Public Security, I don’t want to go to jail.”
“I’m begging you please, Ye Jian, I’m begging you.”
In this life, Ye Jian had heard Ye Ying’s begging; after two lifetimes, she had actually heard Ye Ying begging!
