Chapter 130 If I Don't Be the Regiment Leader

The day the news came, Anmin was changing Liang Nian'an's baby clothes.

For some reason, the little girl suddenly burst into tears, large tears streaming down her pink cheeks, as if she had a premonition of something.

An Min's hand froze in mid-air, her brows furrowing slightly.

Then there was a knock on the door, and Chunli was the first to run over and deliver the news.

"Anmin, have you heard? Commander Liang... he's been taken away for questioning by the Discipline Inspection Commission!"

Anmin calmed down and said to Chunli, "Chunli, don't rush, sit down and talk."

"How can I not be anxious!"

Chunli rushed over and grabbed Anmin's hand.

“When I went to the brigade headquarters to deliver documents this morning, I saw several green jeeps parked there. People in uniform invited Commander Liang into the car and said that someone had submitted a letter of complaint, saying that he had taken bribes during the allocation of supplies, and attached a photo of him shaking hands with a strange man.”

Just thinking about that scene made Chunli feel a little anxious.

The photo that Anmin and Liang Yi received last time was sent by Anmin's sister.

The words written in lipstick on the back of the photo are clearly a provocation.

Anmin's heart sank; she knew all too well who was behind this.

Having spent so long in Hong Kong, An Lu has indeed learned some ruthless methods. Instead of directly targeting her, she first cuts off Liang Yi, her pillar of support.

She looked down at Liang Nian'an's tearful eyes and suddenly clenched her fists.

We absolutely cannot let that woman ruin this family.

Liang Yi returned in the evening. As soon as he entered the room, he looked at the kang (a heated brick bed) and saw An Min sitting there holding the two children. He immediately forced a smile and said, "I'm back. Are the children alright?"

"Liang Yi".

Anmin put the child on the bed and made a playpen out of the stacked blankets.

She got up and went to meet him, her fingertips touching his cold hand.

"what happened?"

Hearing his wife's concerned words, Liang Yi took her hand in return and pulled her closer to the heater.

“Some people said that when I was sourcing coal for the winter for the team last month, I took money from the supplier. They also said that I had a private deal with a businessman from Hong Kong. But the photo was taken at the town’s trade fair a while ago. I was just shaking hands with the businessmen who came to inspect the goods.”

"Is there any evidence in that whistleblower letter?"

The explanation about the coolness relieved Anmin.

He knew, of course, that Liang Yi would not do something like accepting bribes.

His greatest virtue is that he will never betray the clothes he wears.

"There's no concrete evidence, but we can't stop people from watching."

Liang Yi added a piece of coal to the stove, the firelight illuminating the man's cold, sharp eyes.

He then continued leisurely, "The comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission said that I have to be suspended from my duties to cooperate with the investigation, and it will take at least half a month to get the results."

“I was prepared. I have all the supply allocation slips saved, and my comrades who were there at the time can testify. If Anlu wants to play dirty tricks, we'll just have to outlast her and see who can outlast whom.”

Hearing Liang Yi's confident words, An Min nodded gently.

"It seems she came back specifically for us, but we've done nothing wrong, so even if she wanted to get some evidence, she wouldn't be able to."

Liang Yi stood up and stepped forward to embrace his wife: "You're right, don't worry. Since she wants to play along with us, we'll play along with her slowly."

The two children slept restlessly at night. Liang Shouye would kick his legs every now and then, while Liang Nian'an would whine and ask for his mother.

Liang Yi held one child and comforted the other. In the darkness, he suddenly reached out and gently embraced the three of them. "Minmin, if... I mean, if I really get suspended, will you blame me?"

Anmin buried her face in his chest, smelling the pleasant scent of soap on him, and shook her head.

“I know what kind of person you are better than anyone else. Even if you don’t become the regimental commander, we can still live a good life with the children and this little courtyard.”

"Do you think all I care about is your position, and not you as a person? Don't forget, I still have space; we won't starve."

An Min's words, carrying a warm feeling, slowly slid into Liang Yi's heart.

He didn't say anything, he just hugged the mother and her two children even tighter.

Anmin is right. In this world, as long as their family is together, that's more important than anything else.

The next morning, Lao Zhang arrived with his comrades.

More than a dozen men were crammed into the courtyard, each holding a military medal.

Old Zhang placed the medals on the table, and the bronze badges clinked together.

Since Liang Yi came here, they have benefited a lot from following him.

They certainly acknowledge him as the regimental commander, and now that he has been reported, they will naturally not stand idly by.

“Anmin, tell Commander Liang that all of our more than one hundred people in the regiment believe him!”

Old Zhang shouted in a rough voice, "If anyone dares to wrong an innocent person, we'll kneel down at the entrance of the military compound until we clear Commander Liang's name!"

Hearing these rough men's words, An Min's eyes reddened.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang, thank you everyone, but things haven't reached that point yet. There's no need for everyone to risk their futures for my husband, Lao Liang."

“The other side is actually targeting us with this matter. We already have a plan in mind. Everyone, pack your things and go about your business. Don’t let them think we’re gathering a crowd to do something.”

Although Old Zhang still had some doubts when he heard An Min's words, he could tell from her appearance that she was not so anxious.

He knew An Min's abilities; Teacher An was incredibly capable.

However, this matter inevitably touched upon the interests of these people.

Does Anmin really have the ability to resolve this matter?
Old Zhang wanted to say something more, but then An Min walked over and whispered something to them.

"Trust us, everyone will be rewarded after this is over, so we don't need your help right now. You should conserve your energy and go do what you need to do."

With Anmin's words, Old Zhang naturally wouldn't stay there any longer.

He was a rough and uncultured man who didn't understand these complicated matters, but he knew that as long as he obeyed, everything would be fine.

After seeing Lao Zhang off, An Min turned around and went back into the house, walked to the table and picked up the phone.

The operator's voice came from the other end of the phone. She took a deep breath and recited the number etched in her heart.

That was the anonymous tip-off hotline of the Hong Kong Police Department.

In her past life, she was too weak, which allowed An Lu and the so-called male lead to do whatever they wanted. In this life, she will not give them any more chances.

"Hello, I want to report..."

His voice was calm, yet carried a gentle yet firm strength.

Almost as soon as she uttered her first words, the operator on the other end paused for a moment, and then her expression became very serious.

The call lasted for almost an hour, and in the end, the other party asked him to provide evidence and mail it to Hong Kong as soon as possible.

Anmin knew that this battle had only just begun.

But as long as they are a family, there is no battle they cannot win.
