When Jiang Tingting saw the words "morgue", she immediately understood everything.
"Ow!" She burst into tears.
Feng Yuanchao had already expected her to be like this. He quickly held her and advised her in a low voice, "Tingting, since things have already come to this, there's no use crying anymore. I advise you to keep a low profile. After all, Chief Shen's death wasn't very glorious. You have to consider the gossip from all sides of the military. Gossip is a fearful thing!"
"How exactly did my mother die? What do you mean? What do you mean it wasn't glorious? "
"Chief Shen committed suicide in the police station for fear of punishment. She used potassium hydride, which was disguised as a heart-saving pill, to end her life. As for the reason, do you need me to explain it more clearly? She was found to be Tan Si's murderer. Chief Shen was ashamed … "
"Enough!" Jiang Tingting covered her ears with both hands and shook her head violently. "I don't want to hear this. My mother didn't kill anyone. My mother isn't the murderer. She was framed by someone. The person who framed her was Mi Xaing 'er."
Feng Yuanchao sighed softly. "Tingting, aren't you being unreasonable by saying this now? If Chief Shen isn't the murderer? Then why did she swallow the potassium hydride? There were many police officers who witnessed it at that time. No one forced her. She was determined to commit suicide! "
"…"
"That's why I advise you to consider the impact. After all, you're still young. You still have a long way to go. Having a mother who's a murderer … Tingting, don't blame me for being harsh. The more you blow up the matter now, the harder it will be to clean it up and the more embarrassing it will be."
Feng Yuanchao was a first-class secretary after all. Of course, he was good at persuading people. "Tingting, from your perspective, the dead are already gone. The living still have to continue living. You're not married yet, but your reputation is already … ahem, not very good. If Chief Shen's matter causes a lot of discussion, then the outcome can be imagined. How will a person like you, who cares so much about face, maintain a foothold in the city in the future? "
Jiang Tingting gradually lowered her sobs.
While choking, she did feel that Feng Yuanchao's words were right.
She turned her gaze away while sobbing. "Secretary Feng, does Uncle Yun know about this matter? What is he thinking? Was he not going to do anything about it? Didn't he seek justice for my mother? "
"Why are you still talking about justice now? Your mother committed suicide. From a certain point of view, that was upholding justice for Tan Si. Principal Shen deserved it for his crimes! "
When Feng Yuanchao saw Jiang Tingting's stubborn look, he stomped his feet in anger. "Tingting, why can't I get through to you? The current situation is … Anyway, the commander is now in the capital. He definitely won't be able to make it back in time for the funeral. The military hospital also doesn't plan to hold a memorial service. I suggest … you quickly take a look at Director Shen. Let's cremate the body today."
Jiang Tingting knew that it was impossible, but he was still unwilling to accept it. "Huh? My mother worked for the hospital all her life, and there wasn't even a memorial service for her? "
Feng Yuanchao smiled bitterly. "Stop fooling around. A memorial service? Let's not talk about whether or not anyone will come. As a family member, how will you feel when you stand there and face everyone's gazes and listen to everyone's discussions? "
"…"
"I think … you'd better not cause trouble for yourself. What if you hear something bad at the memorial service? If you get angry in a fit of pique, you'll be making things difficult for yourself instead. "
Jiang Tingting was speechless. She stared blankly at the door of the morgue. Her footsteps were so heavy that he couldn't move at all.
Her lifelong backer had fallen in an instant … To be honest, it wasn't a very glorious fall. Her mother had been competitive all her life, but in the end, she left in such a hurry.
She didn't know what she was feeling in her heart … There was annoyance, agitation, pain, and regret.
However, most of it was resentment!
She resented Mi Xaing 'er in her heart and felt that all of this was caused by the other party. If it weren't for Mi Xaing' er, she wouldn't have hired someone to disfigure her face. Her mother wouldn't have killed Tan Si, and something like a suicide wouldn't have happened today.
Jiang Tingting blindly pushed all the blame onto Mi Xaing 'er. Only in this way could she reduce the guilt in her heart … This was probably selfishness.
Feng Yuanchao pushed her carefully. "Tingting, listen to me. I won't harm you. As for Principal Shen's funeral, I'll accompany you until it's settled. This is also the Commander's intention. Although the Commander can't make it back now, I'm his representative. If you have any requests, you can tell me. I'll convey them on your behalf! "
Request?
Jiang Tingting turned around in a daze. "Then can I still return to the military dance troupe?"
"I'm afraid not."
"Uncle Yun, can you arrange a place for me to stay?"
"This … depends on the situation." Feng Yuanchao hurriedly added, "However, I'll check your mother's bank account later. If there's any savings, I'll try my best to help you withdraw them. You need money now."
Feng Yuanchao urged her softly, "Alright, don't say anymore. Quickly go and take a look at your mother! "
Jiang Tingting pulled a long face.
She walked into the morgue alone and desolately.

At the same time …
Second Sister Yun had already rushed to the military camp and stood in front of her younger brother. "Tiger, I just heard a big piece of news. It's simply … unbelievable!"
Yun Jingting said indifferently, "What's the matter? What's the fuss? Someone died? "
"You don't say! Someone really died! "Yun Jingqi swallowed hard." Principal Shen has passed away. I heard that she committed suicide to escape punishment! "
Yun Laohu raised her eyebrows. "Who told you that?"
"When Secretary Feng came to pick Dad up and fly him to the Capital City this morning, I heard the two of them whispering softly."
Yun Laohu put one hand in her trouser pocket and sneered slightly. "This is the so-called justice has a long arm. Shen Xiaofeng walked to this point on her own, so she can't blame anyone else. From the beginning to the end … she didn't reflect on herself. In the end, she even went to the hospital to kill someone. This kind of woman is the most vicious. Not only is she ruthless to others, but she's also ruthless to herself. I heard that ever since she killed Tan Si, she's been carrying poison pills with her. She's afraid of being caught and is ready to commit suicide at any time … "
Yun Jingqi interrupted him. "Wait, why do I feel that … you know more than me?"
Yun Laohu shrugged indifferently. "Forget it. It's useless to talk about this now. The matter is settled. Shen Xiaofeng is already a thing of the past. Where's Dad? What's Dad's attitude? "
"Didn't I tell you that Dad flew to the Capital City for a meeting?"
Yun Laohu's gaze was a little empty. She sighed softly. "Our Dad's work is indeed flawless, but when it comes to dealing with personal problems, I can't find it admirable."
Yun Jingqi felt the same way. "…"
"Sister, you don't have to care about this matter. We can't do anything about it even if you want to! Go back. I still have work to do! Try not to go out for the next two days. I reckon that the gossip in the military base … can drown people to death. Even if you and Shen Xiaofeng aren't directly related, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people pointing fingers at you. "
Yun Laohu leaned over and hugged her sister's shoulder. "I suggest … you don't go back to the military base for the next few days. Go to the Public Security Bureau's dormitory. It's best if you can take a few days off and find a quiet place to rest. Don't bother about the mess here. Also, don't listen to other people's nonsense. "
Second Sister Yun nodded but looked at her brother worriedly. "What about you?"
"Me? I don't care about these things! I'm shameless. Whoever wants to say … can say whatever they want. Anyway, if anyone dares to say it in front of me, I'll slap them. "
Yun Jingqi smiled. "You're really capable of doing that!"
But soon, she stopped smiling and sighed kindly. "I really didn't expect life to change so quickly. After all, Director Shen lived with us for a few years. He left just like that. My heart is still …"
Yun Laohu knew her sister well … She was soft-hearted.
She didn't persuade her anymore and gently pushed her. "Okay, don't think about it. Hurry up and go home."
Yun Jingqi walked slowly out of the military base.
Just as she stood by the roadside, a small jeep slowly stopped in front of her. Someone pressed the horn softly and rolled down the window. "Xiao Yun, is that really you?"
Yun Jingqi bent over and looked sideways at the driver's seat. "Hey, Staff Officer Xia? What are you doing here? "
"I'm here to talk to Head Of Yun about work. From afar, it looks like you …" Before she finished speaking, Xia Zhongcheng got out of the car and strode over to Second Sister Yun. "It's so cold. Don't stand here. Hurry up and get in the car. Where do you want to go? I'll give you a ride. "
Yun Jingqi hesitated for a moment. "That's not good. It'll delay your work. I can walk by myself."
"How are you going to walk by yourself? Take the bus? "Xia Zhongcheng raised his eyebrows considerately." Don't say that! I know what I'm doing. I came out early and it's not the appointed time yet. It's more than enough to give you a ride! "
He simply opened the car door for her and stood aside to wait like a gentleman.
Yun Jingqi felt that if she continued to refuse, she would be a little slow and petty. She could only nod graciously. "Okay, thank you!"
She lowered her head and got into the car.
As soon as she sat down, Xia Zhongcheng had already walked into the driver's seat … His movements were quite nimble. No wonder he was a soldier.
He turned his head and smiled brightly at Yun Jingqi … The morning sun shone on his face and matched the red collar badge on his collar, making him look particularly energetic. "Xiao Yun, you haven't had breakfast, right? Let's go! It's my treat! "
