Those present, watching the commotion, couldn’t help but feel sympathy as they watched Cheng Su’s pale face being supported by Qi Taiguo, her weak and unsteady pitiful appearance also evoking a shared sense of distress.
This world has always been unequal. Faced with high officials and strong powers, these rootless common folk have no right to speak. Even with laws in place, it’s still the common folk who suffer. They have always been the ones sacrificed.
Thus, even if they suffer a great injustice, they can only admit defeat and dare not pursue it further.
Jiang Conghe had not failed to notice the looks in people’s eyes, which spoke of fear and resentment, as their anger flared from their toes to the top of their heads.
It was infuriating, too infuriating. They said it was coercion, but clearly, it was that wretched girl forcing them, playing the weak to garner sympathy.
"If this still isn’t enough to appease Commander Chiang, then I will voluntarily remove my uniform, I only ask that Commander Chiang graciously spare me!" Qi Taiguo looked towards Jiang Conghe.
Regimental Commander Mai immediately rebuked, "Comrade Qi Taiguo, don’t act rashly. The nation has laws. As a soldier, can you just speak of removing your uniform? What regard do you have for military regulations?"
Chiang Qing trembled upon hearing this, lifting her head in disbelief.
Without the uniform, would he still be himself? No, that simply cannot happen, absolutely not!
Jiang Conghe glared fiercely at Qi Taiguo. This troublemaker was the root cause of all this mess. Without him, none of this would have happened. Damn him.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming untenable, Commissar Tan suggested, "Commander Chiang, these are just uneducated rural women who resort to violence. Perhaps, I could assign a women’s director to educate them?"
Jiang Conghe snorted.
Lu Shufen heard the implications: that was it, they were just going to let it slide!
So was she just supposed to accept having been slapped for nothing?
Unacceptable!
