Chapter 915 He Cannot Escape Blame!

Qin Hengzhi said calmly, "You should apply to return to logistics. At the moment, you are no longer suitable to lead a team."

Dong Ze was stunned.

Such advice is no different from cutting off the wings of a flying eagle.

After Qin Hengzhi returned, he also told Lu Qiaoge about this matter.

"Dong Ze is very capable in his work and has a knack for leading teams. He has led teams on many high-level and dangerous border missions, but they have almost always been completed with zero casualties and returned victorious. He is a decorated officer..."

Lu Qiaoge nodded. In fact, from some perspectives, Dong Ze, who has achieved so much, could not possibly be someone who goes to work and leaves work on time every day.

All these achievements were the result of sacrificing his time.

He might not go home for months, or even longer. Even when he has no assignments, he'll stay at the grassroots level.

His presence could be seen in remote mountains and training grounds.

If this matter were handled by higher-ups, how many people would say it was Dong Ze's responsibility?
Often, when you prioritize the greater good, you neglect your own family.

Moreover, this phenomenon is not unique to one person.

Just like Qin Hengzhi, he doesn't go to get off work and leave work on time either.

Naturally, many things will be overlooked.

However, on the other hand, Dong Ze's family matter was no small matter. It was because of her life-saving pills, as well as the spatial energy from Hua Hua and San Que. These were the main reasons why Dong Mingming survived and was not paralyzed in bed.

Otherwise, Dong Mingming would be in unbearable pain from just one injury.

This isn't something that can be solved by taking painkillers.

In cases like this, after surgery, the condition is often determined based on the amount of pain experienced.

Another point is that even if they hadn't moved to the house across from the Dong family, given how things developed, what other trigger would have been there? Dong Mingming would still have taken her own life, and at that point, Dong Ze would still be held responsible!

Qin Hengzhi's suggestion was correct.

Dong Ze is no longer as single-minded as before, and it's impossible for him to devote himself wholeheartedly to training.

So I'll go to logistics for now.

This is the best solution at present.

Lu Qiaoge paid attention to the Dong family's movements this time, and Huahua was also taking care of her at the hospital.

At the hospital, Dong Ze did not argue with Lian Liying, and Lian Liying did not dare to ask Dong Ze how he handled the situation.

She had her own clever tricks and tried to keep herself busy so that she wouldn't have time to be scolded by Dong Ze.

After so many years of marriage, she had long since developed a set of skills to deal with the Dong family.

Lian Liying, who was busy at work, suddenly paused, remembering what Lu Qiaoge had said to her.
How am I supposed to get along with Lu Qiaoge from now on?
Clearly, Lu Qiaoge looked down on her; otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken to her in that tone.

Moreover, what Lu Qiaoge said to her didn't seem like much at the time, but the more she thought about it, the more offensive it became.

Even now, just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable all over.

Lian Liying was worried that her husband would bring this up later and she wouldn't know how to answer, so she told Dong Ze, "You don't need to come here, I can manage on my own. You can come back tomorrow morning to relieve me."

Dong Ze glanced at Lian Liying; it would be impossible for him not to feel any resentment.

But this is a hospital, and the Dong family is already quite famous.

He couldn't let his reputation get any worse.

Suppressing his myriad emotions, he stepped forward and spoke to Dong Mingming in a gentle voice.

Dong Mingming felt that the world was truly unreasonable. Before, she was well-behaved and obedient, so no one paid attention to her. Now, after saying so many hurtful things, her grandmother, father, and mother were not angry or scolded her.

Dong Mingming didn't know how to face it.

No matter what, she was still a teenager, and she couldn't possibly remain unmoved by her father's gentle treatment of her.

But she also harbored resentment and didn't want to talk to Dong Ze at that moment.

In the past, Dong Mingming would definitely have felt that this was not a good idea. If things got too tense, would her family take their anger out on Sister Lu?
But for some reason, she doesn't think that way anymore.

So Dong Mingming closed her eyes, and tears streamed down her face. But she refused to communicate with the two people, not uttering a single word.

Regardless of what those two people said to her.

At this moment, Dong Mingming was unaware that the tabby cat and sparrows were all in the trees outside.

But Lu Qiaoge knew that the animals' schedules were now similar to hers.

Lu Qiaoge told Xiao Cangcang to tell the animals to go home quickly and not to stay outside guarding them.

After Xiao Cangcang finished informing Lu Qiaoge, she immediately ran to the Dong family to give her a live update on what was happening there.

Of course, Grandma Dong had already returned the 20,000 yuan to Lu Qiaoge, and she pulled Lu Qiaoge aside and said a series of apologies.

They then forced Dong Yuanyuan to express her gratitude to Lu Qiaoge.

Then he went into the room across the hall and closed the door.

Mrs. Dong was exhausted. In the past, she would have thought she would have been hospitalized, but for some reason, even so, she still felt quite energetic.

Surprisingly, she hasn't fainted yet.

Mrs. Dong felt that she was destined to be a worrier.

The old man wasn't feeling well and went to the nursing home early. He, however, couldn't bear to leave his eldest granddaughter and wanted his former daughter-in-law to see how he had treated the child left at home.

So she didn't leave with the old man, but chose to stay.

Who could have imagined that a perfectly good family would not become harmonious and happy because of the sacrifices she made by staying behind?

Instead, it has become what it is today.

How could they not blame Dong Yuanyuan? Old Mrs. Dong had been holding it in until now, and she was about to explode.

Looking at Dong Yuanyuan, who was standing there silently, she asked directly, "Yuanyuan, don't you have anything to say to me right now?"

Dong Yuanyuan lowered her head and said, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied."

Mrs. Dong slammed her hand on the table in anger: "Are you a four or five-year-old child?"
Even four or five-year-olds know not to lie, but what about you? You're in your mid-twenties, yet you're blatantly lying.

I trusted you so much that I had no doubts at all. I just thought what you said was true, and that's why I believed it.

I believed you, and your dad believed you too. And what happened... you were lying to us.

Dong Yuanyuan, why don't you think about how we'll clean up the mess if things get out?

"Dong Yuanyuan, do you even have a brain?"

Dong Yuanyuan was so scolded that she couldn't lift her head, but she was in a bad mood and retorted, "Grandma, why do you always scold me? If Dong Mingming doesn't testify, how can Lu Qiaoge prove that I broke it?"
If no one can testify, wouldn't she just compensate you with 20,000 yuan?

It's all Dong Mingming's fault for siding with outsiders instead of me.

And then there's Lu Qiaoge. She was so powerful today, but why didn't she question it when she was taking the money? Why did she question it at the hospital instead?

She had ulterior motives; Lu Qiaoge was actually trying to mislead Dong Mingming!
