Chapter 191 I Must Have Something to Do with You
Gou Yong gave the two of them a look. What are you waiting for? If they don’t run now, when will they run?
Ma Zi and Tao Bajin slipped out of the team like slippery fish, with their heads lowered and their backs hunched, as if they wanted to tuck their heads into their crotches so that no one would notice them.
"Where are you running to?" A loud voice like thunder exploded in the ears of the two men.
Li Wuji, with a full beard and muscular body, grabbed the arms of the two men, one in each hand.
"You guys have deceived me so badly, let's go and explain ourselves to the general!"
Ma Zi and Tao Bajin looked up and saw that it was Li Wuji, the famous madman in their area. When they were spreading rumors about Ai Wanxin among the crowd in the morning, this madman was indeed listening at the periphery. Later, before he finished speaking, he ran away like a whirlwind. Why did he jump out now?
Seeing that they had a chance to escape, Ma Zi and Tao Bajin refused to surrender easily and immediately struggled desperately.
Li Wuji was a sentry, he was both arrogant and stupid, his pair of big hands like palm-leaf fans were like iron clamps, he grabbed the two men and dragged them towards the white marble steps aggressively.
Gou Yong had been paying attention to whether the two had escaped successfully. Suddenly, he saw Cheng Yaojin jumping out from the road. He immediately took a half step forward, blocked Li Wuji's way, and said in a low voice: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Li Wuji shouted in his hoarse voice: "These two people spread rumors about General Ai and deceived me. I went to question General Ai and made a huge fool of myself. I will take them to the general to make things clear. I will not bear the blame!"
Gou Yong glanced at Ma Zi and Tao Bajin, who were more likely to cause trouble than to help, and said angrily, "How could they spread rumors about her? You must have heard wrongly. They have something important to do. Let them go immediately."
Li Wuji was furious when he heard this: "What do you mean? Are you saying that I was the one who said that General Ai relied on men to get to the top?"
"I didn't say that! I just heard it from them!"
"This morning when they were distributing drinking water to everyone, they kept saying it. A lot of people heard it. Don't try to deny it!"
Li Wuji's voice was more powerful than the loudspeaker in Jiang Baota's hand. For a moment, the central square was silent and everyone's eyes were on the four of them.
"Such an interesting thing, why don't we come up and talk about it together." Ai Wanxin's voice, as clear as snow, sounded from high above.
Ma Zi and Tao Bajin's knees went weak and they almost fell to the ground.
Aren’t they going to die?...?
Gou Yong stood in front of the three men without moving. Qi Tongtian came forward with the armed guards and said with a smile: "The general asked you to go up and answer. Please go ahead~"
With so many eyes watching, Gou Yong had no choice but to step back half a step.
Li Wuji dragged Ma Zi and Tao Bajin up the white marble steps like they were dragging a lazy chicken or a sick duck.
He threw the two men in front of Ai Wanxin and shouted, "General, these two people deceived me with their lies. You must not let them off easily!"
Ai Wanxin did not look at Ma Zi and Tao Bajin who were kneeling on the ground trembling, but calmly said to Li Wuji: "How did they deceive the people with their lies? Since you are the first to accuse, tell us everything that happened at that time and let everyone judge for themselves."
Li Wuji pounded his chest and said loudly, "This morning, Lao-I went to collect the drinking water that was distributed every day. These two people were distributing water to everyone while chatting. They said that they heard that Guanghui City has established a security bureau to manage sentinels and guides, and they will send an executive officer to each base."
"Wait a minute, why are they the ones distributing water to everyone?" Ai Wanxin interrupted Li Wuji and asked an unrelated question.
"Because they are water sentinels, responsible for purifying water and distributing drinking water to our area." Although Li Wuji was puzzled, he still answered honestly.
Ai Wanxin nodded: "Okay, go on."
"Let me continue. They said that the executive officer of Fengcheng has been selected because that person, you, is the daughter-in-law of the commander-in-chief of the Yanbei Army and the girlfriend of Captain He."
He Yang bared his neat white teeth. The second half was so pleasant to listen to...
"But! They think Captain He is not worth it because you are fickle and have serious problems with your work style."
Although this rumor had spread throughout the base at the speed of light, everyone still gasped when it was spoken so loudly in front of the person involved.
Li Wuji seemed unaware of the change in atmosphere. He continued, "They said that when you came to the base, you were followed by several men. The one with golden hair was the richest man in Fengcheng. They said that you were supported by him before, and he gave you all the money to buy food."
"There's another guy who's a mechanic, but he's got a great body and is extremely fierce in bed. He must be having an affair with you."
Faced with the countless gazes suddenly directed at him, Yin Yanhan remained expressionless and pretended not to see them.
Pei Junlin looked down at his chest muscles with grievance. What was wrong with him?
The more Ma Zi and Tao Bajin listened, the lower they buried their heads. Their legs were trembling and their whole bodies were shaking like sieves. In the middle of winter, sweat was dripping onto the ground.
"Also, they said there were only two guides in Fengcheng, and the only male guide followed you. It must be you who seduced him, otherwise why didn't the female guide follow you?" Li Wuji recited the words that Ma Zi and the other man had arranged in the morning without any scruples.
"Very good, everyone already understands the situation at that time, so why did you believe them in the morning but don't believe them now?" Ai Wanxin asked with a cold expression.
Li Wuji's anger, which had just subsided a little, was ignited again. He shouted, "I have been killing zombies outside and just returned to the city. I didn't know anything, so I was deceived by them!"
"What they said themselves is full of loopholes. Who would use the money they received from being kept as a mistress to buy food instead of clothes or jewelry?"
"And the guide. The guide's physique is the same as that of an ordinary person. He must find the strongest person to protect him. No one in the entire base is stronger than you, General. Isn't it normal for the guide to come to you?"
"They can choreograph something like this where there's not even a shadow. What else can't they do?"
"I think they are just unhappy that you, a woman, are the executive officer, so they spread rumors about you and slandered you. If you are not the executive officer, who will be the executive officer? Will they let people like them who are full of thieves and whores do it?"
"General, what you just said is absolutely right. These despicable people are most likely to use vicious tricks to destroy a person who really does practical things. We don't need to respond to anything they say. If we have to prove that they are wrong every day, then we should not do anything at all!"
"You can't say that--" Gou Yong stood at the foot of the stone steps, with a gloomy face, and said loudly.
