Chapter 1461: Chapter 1480: Exaggerate
The confidential secretary: “…” Suddenly, they didn’t know what to say. Although the minister had said a lot, sothing felt off. Normally, shouldn’t they investigate thoroughly first? After the investigation, they could try having a heart-to-heart talk or encouraging reconciliation, right?
Only if reconciliation was truly impossible should divorce even be brought up.
This was a military marriage, and not just any marriage—it involved a senior officer…
Was the minister deliberately picking on Major General Huo?
“But there’s no concrete evidence…” The confidential secretary decided to speak up and defend their own conscience.
“What do you an there’s no evidence? My youngest son is the best evidence. Back when Huo Beijiang deceived his way into marriage, my boy Jiang Yang was right there. I was a witness too. He absolutely sched his way into this marriage.”
The secretary was at a loss for words, their entirely stiff expression revealing their discomfort. No argunts remained, as Wei Fangyi waved his hand decisively and made the call. Since it was Huo Beijiang’s fault and the evidence was sufficient, the family’s request for divorce simply had to be granted.
Just as those words had settled, the phone on the desk began ringing. The secretary picked it up first, their expression growing more peculiar by the second as they listened. “Minister, it’s Chief Xi calling. He says he needs to report sothing to you.”
“Alright.”
Wei Fangyi had barely lifted the receiver when he was greeted by Xi Liqun’s bluster from the other end: “Minister! I’m Xi Liqun. You absolutely have to hear out. I trust my soldier! I swear on my honor and reputation that Huo Beijiang is not that kind of person. I know there’s a whirlwind of rumors outside right now about his personal conduct, but those are completely baseless. You can’t listen to that nonsense!”
Wei Fangyi responded seriously, “I think what’s being said outside is true, and I’ve already approved the family’s divorce request. If so people are afraid to cross Huo Beijiang, well, I, Wei Fangyi, am not one of them. If he has the audacity to act, then he should have the guts to face the consequences.”
“What?!” Xi Liqun nearly broke out in a cold sweat at the shock. “No, Minister, those are just wild rumors, pure fabrications! And right now, Huo Beijiang is on the frontlines! He’s bleeding for the country, and you can’t stab him in the back while he’s out there!”
The re thought was unthinkable. When that kid cos back and finds out his wife is gone, he’d practically blow up!
“Regardless, you absolutely cannot agree to this. Under no circumstances can this be approved.” Xi Liqun eventually resorted to outright pleading, “And it doesn’t even comply with the regulations. This is a matter between husband and wife; we old n shouldn’t be ddling. Following proper procedures is the only right course of action.”
He couldn’t fathom what Jiang Nanfei was thinking, raising the issue of divorce at a ti like this. It was practically cutting off soone’s lifeline. Even if that boy really had problems with his personal conduct, it should at least wait until he returned to be discussed.
How could anyone bring up divorce now? Such recklessness! Anyway, as Huo Beijiang’s forr commanding officer, Xi Liqun absolutely couldn’t allow this to happen. He had to shield him.
As he rambled through the call with Wei Fangyi, Xi Liqun turned back and glared fiercely at Ning Di.
“It’s fine. This ti, I’ll stand up for justice. That boy has been getting way too brazen lately. This ti, I’m going to curb that arrogance.” Wei Fangyi’s stance hardened further, “Ultimately, this issue is not your concern, and there’s nothing about it that violates regulations. Back then, she agreed to marry him because of his manipulations. What do you call that? That’s deception. He has utterly disgraced the dignity and honor of us soldiers.”
“No way. Absolutely not. You know what kind of person Huo Beijiang is, don’t you? Sure, he’s full of little flaws, but he’d never make a fundantal mistake like that.”
