Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 187 You did it on purpose
"I am Master Xia."

At Shi Xia's words, Chief Wei stood up abruptly and said evasively, "Shi Xia, you can't say everything just to help Wen Cheng'an. Wen Cheng'an is innocent, he will be fine."

Shi Xia knew that Chief Wei didn't want her to admit to her illegal departure from the country, and originally she didn't want to either.

She has always wanted to live a low-key life and enjoy life quietly.

But now it seems that without status, there is no voice. Her man's credit was stolen, which means they have no one above them.

Since that's the case, then she'll be the one in charge, and she'll protect them!

"Master Xia is me."

Shi Xia repeated herself, then shook her head at Chief Wei and looked at Old Ma, who hadn't said a word.

"I believe Comrade Ma should know what the best course of action is."

Old Ma and Shi Xia locked eyes, and the battle of wits began.

Both of them knew perfectly well that Shi Xia's success abroad was beneficial to comrades carrying out missions or lurking overseas.

Moreover, although the higher-ups did not know Shi Xia's specific abilities, the fact that she had submitted several items had already attracted their attention. Old Ma was one of the insiders, and his visit was also intended to test the waters.

Fortunately, the upper echelons did not share Lin Sisi's brother's views. They believed that Shi Xia was controllable and was protecting the country.

Such talented and extraordinary people should not be managed too strictly, but they also cannot be completely left to their own devices.

"I see. We had indeed misunderstood Comrade Wen Chengan."

Shi Xia sneered, "Old fox."

"It's okay if there's a misunderstanding. Just issue a statement and apologize, and the credit will be returned."

"It's certain that an explanation will be issued, but the credit won't be returned yet. We can add an extra grade when Comrade Wen Cheng'an performs meritorious service next time."

Old Ma conceded, but Shi Xia refused.

"No, this time is the only one!"

Old Ma looked troubled, mainly because the credit had already been awarded and it wouldn't be good to take it back, and the other side was also in a difficult position.

"It seems the person who stole Wen Cheng'an's credit has a powerful background. This is going to be difficult."

Old Ma didn't find it strange that Shi Xia had guessed it; he simply nodded honestly.

Indeed, so—

"No other reason, just this time."

Shi Xia didn't budge an inch, looking at Lao Ma and continuing, "Did I just say that I also have a line in R country?"

Old Ma shook his head.

"Oh—it's alright, it's not too late to say now. I know we're currently under technological blockade. I could go to R country for a stroll, but I'm not in the mood and don't want to go."

"Comrade Ma, what do you think we should do to resolve this?"

Summer was in a good mood and he asked a question he already knew the answer to.

Old Ma's thought process can be debated in three seconds, and his decisions are incredibly fast. He can clearly distinguish between offending an individual and bringing benefits to the entire country.

"The credit will be returned."

"Comrade Ma is very righteous, but what about the Chen family who framed Wen Cheng'an? I wonder how to deal with them?"

Shi Xia could certainly do it herself, but with a knife available, why get her hands dirty?

She is now a tool of the state, and the state can also be a tool of hers; it's a mutual exploitation.

Shi Xia could accept being used by her own country.

"The Chen family has framed military officials and spread false information; they should be imprisoned."

"it is good."

"Where are Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen?"

"Go through the formalities immediately and release him right away."

Shi Xia was satisfied. She got up, but just as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and turned around.

"This is the last time. If anyone dares to touch my people again, I'll chop off their claws!"

With a thud, Shi Xia left.

The room was quiet.

Old Ma heard Shi Xia's words echoing in his ears and looked at Chief Wei.

"Shi Xia... has quite a temper."

"Nonsense, why should someone with real ability be spoiled by you!"

Chief Wei looked at Old Ma, his eyes filled with hostility. "You're here for Shi Xia?"

Old Ma smiled, not denying it, but confirming it was true.

Chief Wei clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

"You deliberately picked a fight with Wen Cheng'an just to test Shi Xia? I was wondering why you sent two teams for one mission. So that's what you were waiting for."

Chief Wei suddenly realized what was happening and, being rather straightforward, found it unacceptable.

"How could you use a soldier's future and reputation to set a trap? And how did you know Shi Xia would go to FLB?"

Old Ma stood up, still calm.

“Old Wei, we don’t know where she’s going. What we want to know is what she will do when her loved ones are suffering.”

Chief Wei gave a cold laugh.

"How are you going to do this? That sounds nice, but you're just testing whether Shi Xia has any weaknesses!"

Old Ma smiled but said nothing, put on his hat and walked towards the door.

"Wen Chengan should be promoted to company commander."

"Get lost! My military affairs are none of your business!"

"Okay, okay, I won't worry about it. I'm leaving now."

Old Ma left.

At the same time, Shi Xia had already arrived at the gate of the military camp. Facing the crowd of villagers, she smiled.

"Don't worry, everything's alright now, let's go home!"

Uncle Cao came up, still worried, and asked anxiously, "You didn't promise them anything, did you?"

"No, we'll go home after Auntie and Uncle Wen come out."

Uncle Cao nodded and agreed.

"Let's go home!"

The formalities were completed quickly, and Uncle Wen and his aunt were escorted out.

The two were not subjected to any torture or forced confession; they were simply invited to drink water and chat.

Even this alone gave the two of them quite a fright.

They're just ordinary people, and we're afraid they'll say the wrong thing and cause trouble for Wen Cheng'an.

So, from beginning to end, the two of them kept repeating the same thing: "I don't know, my child is a good child."

"Auntie, Uncle Wen."

Shi Xia went to meet her, helped her aunt up, patted her trembling hand, and looked into her panicked eyes.

"Don't worry, everything is fine, Wen Cheng'an is fine too, it's all a misunderstanding."

My aunt's tears streamed down her face. She wasn't smart, but she wasn't stupid either.

The investigation started before Shi Xia returned, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding as soon as she came back. Shi Xia must have been involved in this whole affair.

"Shi Xia, if Wen Cheng'an treats you badly, you can hit him all you want! Your aunt will help you!"

"Okay, I'll remember it."

Shi Xia smiled and looked at Uncle Wen, who was suppressing his emotions, and said, "Uncle Wen, let's go home."

"Okay, okay, let's go home."

The group walked towards the shore, with Battalion Commander Cheng standing behind them, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to, watching them leave.

The people from the three islands turned around and boarded the ship.

It was only then that they saw Shi Xia's new ship returning, and everyone tacitly remarked, "Why has our ship's new ship come out?"

"That's right, I'm boarding a new ship."

"Me too."

A group of people boarded the ship half-heartedly, and Shi Xia watched with a smile before following them onto the ship.

As the ship departed, she glanced back before looking away, and the ships from Hai San Island returned to port.

A group of people returned to Hai San Island in a flurry. Those who remained on the island rushed over, with Uncle San leading the way.

"Is it resolved?"

Shi Xia nodded, turned around and stood on the high reef, facing all the people from the three islands.

"I am Shi Xia, and I would like to thank everyone here!"
