Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 492 Your heart is crooked!

Don't assume that this seemingly dim-witted young guard spoke ill of his superior because he was too worried about him.

Is it really such a coincidence that someone could pinpoint me and criticize me so accurately among these people?

Ha, why is Chu Xin so skeptical?

"Are you out of your mind? Which eye saw me annoy him? No wonder they say that the kind of person you are determines the kind of soldiers you lead. I've really learned something new today!"

Gu Beizhan and his bodyguard both frowned.

This means they were both insulted.

The young guard pointed at Chu Xin and immediately began to argue, "You still say it wasn't you? Everyone knows you have a sharp tongue and a fierce personality, and you're always right. Our leader was only in here for a short while and you got so angry. You truly live up to your reputation!"

Chu Xin narrowed her eyes dangerously; there was a lot of information in his words.

"Xiao Liu, shut up!"

Gu Beizhan had just recovered when his bodyguard started babbling on and on, making the atmosphere in the ward increasingly tense. If he didn't speak up soon, things would get very misunderstanding.

"This has nothing to do with this woman. Who taught you to make wild guesses about people?!"

The young guard was taken aback. "Isn't that right?"

Zhou Yichen was just as perceptive as Chu Xin. Although he hadn't had much contact with Gu Beizhan, he knew that Gu would never gossip about people behind their backs and let others overhear.

The young guard's attitude then becomes even more intriguing.

"Of course not, it's Uncle Gu who's meddling in our family's affairs. I just advised him to mind his own business. What, is that not allowed?"

After saying that, Zhou Yichen's face turned cold, and he stared straight at the young guard.

"But you, without even knowing what happened, came in and started making accusations. I need an explanation from you, and I also need you to apologize to her!"

The young guard twisted his head, still unconvinced, "Even so, this woman's character is not good. Comrade Zhou, your words and actions are very unacceptable. Can you deny that you haven't been influenced by her?!"

Gu Beizhan shook his head anxiously. When he first heard Xiao Liu talking about Zhou Yichen and this Comrade Chu, he thought he was just straightforward and simple-minded, but now it seems that's not the case at all.

"Xiao Liu, you've disappointed me greatly. How can you make assumptions about someone without seeing it for yourself?"

"Ah!"

Chu Xin sneered, "What's the difference between his habit of making arbitrary assumptions about people and your stubborn belief in only what you see in front of you?!"

She didn't want to listen to two self-righteous people spouting awful platitudes; she just asked:

"Comrade Liu, I've always been an open and honest person. Since you have a problem with me, let's talk it out face to face. Where did you hear that I'm arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable?"

Seeing that the young guard's neck was practically twisted 180 degrees, looking as if he wouldn't even glance at her, the corners of her mouth widened into an even more wicked smile.

"Then let me ask you, as a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, how good can your character be if you maliciously slander your own comrades without any reason?"

If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'll report you directly to your employer. Try me if you dare!

"Oh dear, this is all my fault. Let's not get upset, everyone. Let's talk this out."

The situation spiraled out of control, making Gu Beizhan increasingly regret his thoughtless actions. He quickly scolded the young guard, "Tell me quickly, where did you hear all this unverified information? I'd also like to know if you're being indoctrinated with incorrect ideas."

Gu Beizhan's attitude can be described as admitting his mistakes and correcting them, which shows great sincerity.

Completely abandoning his former dignity as the deputy director of the military region's health department, he stood here sincerely to make amends for his mistakes and those of his bodyguards.

Looking at Gu Beizhan like this, Chu Xin couldn't understand it. This man wasn't really so confused that he couldn't distinguish right from wrong. How did he end up with his family destroyed, his wife and children separated from him?

However, she only thought about it briefly and quickly let it go. It was someone else's private matter and she wasn't interested in it. Right now, she was only concerned with getting justice for herself.

When the young guard saw that his leader was being so subservient to him, he was so upset that tears welled up in his eyes.

"Please don't lead like that. This has nothing to do with you. To be honest, it's my fault for not distinguishing between public and private matters and bringing my personal emotions into it."

Then he looked at Chu Xin, perhaps not expecting her to speak so firmly, and his attitude softened a bit.

"Don't get cocky just because my boss is easy to talk to. If you have any problems, come at me."

The young guard was straightforward; once he started talking, he didn't intend to remain silent.

"No one is saying bad things about you to me. I have my own eyes to see and my own ears to hear. You can't deny that you bullied Wei Hongying and Zhang Ying, can you?"

The young guard felt he had already been very considerate of Chu Xin, not directly accusing her of bullying people of lower status by relying on her family's and Zhou family's background.

He is a very upright person and can't stand this kind of thing!

Zhang Ying?

Wei Hongying?

They are people from such a distant memory.

Chu Xin was stunned by what they said, and it took her a while to remember the little banter they had with the two of them.

She looked at the righteous young guard with a strange expression, really wanting to ask him—are you alright?

Let's not even talk about Wei Hongying. Zhang Ying is a confirmed spy, and now the grass on her grave is all over the place. And there are still fools who are feeling sorry for her.

Good heavens, where did this guy come from? How did someone so stupid and straightforward manage to get close to the boss?

This guy doesn't have to do anything; he can screw people over with just his words.

What I'm about to say is not suitable for outsiders to hear.

Zhou Yichen glanced at Old Man Ruan, who was secretly pricking up his ears, and said to Gu Beizhan:

"Since there's a misunderstanding between us, it's best to clear things up as soon as possible. Let's find a place to talk privately."

Gu Beizhan naturally agreed. In this ward, there were other people who witnessed his foolish behavior, and he had wanted to leave for a long time.

"Okay, let's find a quiet place to talk."

After saying that, he led his guards out first.

Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen said goodbye to the police and then left.

"This is really suspicious. It's been so long, and they're still bringing it up again. If no one's involved, I'll twist his head off and use it as a football."

It's unclear whether it was intentional or just a coincidence that the young guard revealed the truth to her.

Zhou Yichen's eyes were cold and frosty. "This matter needs to be investigated carefully. I asked my mother about Wei Hongying. Her family is looking for a husband for her, saying that she should marry someone from far away."

After Zhang Ying's incident, she almost completely severed ties with her family, and she herself has already been executed. The person spreading such rumors must know both of them.

"I remember there was another person named Liao Hong who was on good terms with the two of them, but I only met her once, so I don't know much about her."

Zhou Yichen knew that Chu Xin was referring to the time when he ran into Wei Hongying and her blind date at a state-run restaurant, and was subsequently harassed and disgusted.

Liao Hong was the one who comforted Wei Hongying back then.

"After Jia Zhenyan was abducted, we also investigated Liao Hong's background."

She transferred from a local school to follow her father's job. Her father was a very honest man who had worked in military logistics his entire life. His hometown was in the southern province, and the military records there were very clear and there was no room for deception.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xin fell silent for a moment. Was she overreacting? Why did she feel uncomfortable as soon as she heard about Nan Province?

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Investigate this Liao Hong. I have a feeling that the problem lies with her, or if not, it's definitely related to her."

No, in fact, Chu Xin firmly believed in her sixth sense, but she just didn't want to say it too bluntly.

In a society based on personal connections, many people and things may seem unrelated on the surface, but they are often secretly connected in unexpected ways.

Chu Xin, who can be described as someone who has experienced numerous troubles, has a deep understanding of this.

She didn't believe it was all a coincidence. The chances of a coincidence being so high that a young soldier she had never met would harbor such a deep prejudice against her were simply too high.

Zhou Yichen made a mental note of this. "Okay, I'll have someone take care of it right away."

Gu Beizhan no longer goes to the sanatorium, but only comes to the hospital for regular check-ups, so he has a private room here.

He and his young guard were already waiting inside.

His face was pale because of what had just happened.

"Now that there are only the four of us here, we can speak frankly about everything."

Chu Xin knew what was going on and, not wanting to beat around the bush, asked directly:

Do you know someone named Liao Hong?

"So what if you know her? Your affairs have nothing to do with her. Comrade Chu, I know you are now a talent in a special unit, and your abilities may indeed be unmatched by ordinary people like us. But please be sure to stay true to your principles, put the interests of the people first, and don't let personal grudges affect your moral character."

Damn it!

Chu Xin's fists hardened.

Does someone so young already enjoy being someone's father?

"I have a suggestion for you."

The young guard was taken aback. "What?"

Aren't you talking about her problems? Why are you giving yourself advice?

Chu Xin's expression showed no sign of the anger she was suppressing; she smiled, revealing all eight of her teeth.

"My advice is, please don't give advice to others lightly. Seriously, you'll easily get beaten up!"

His voice was completely flat, without a single swear word. The fact that his words and expressions were so completely mismatched gave people a chilling sense of dread.

The young guard immediately fell silent.

But Chu Xin wasn't finished speaking.

"People like you who like to preach can be as demanding of themselves as you like. Of course, if others like to be brainwashed, you can also waste your breath to satisfy their brainless hobbies."

But do you see clearly that I'm not willing to listen to your nonsense right now?

I ask, you answer, wouldn't it be better if we each resolved our own questions? Why force me to give you the cold shoulder?

The barbed words left the young guard extremely embarrassed, and Gu Beizhan wasn't much better off; he felt like he'd been caught in the crossfire again.

He gave Zhou Yichen a slightly awkward smile, and the other man only gave him a nonchalant nod in return. His gaze then followed the chattering little girl closely, his eyes full of laughter.

Gu Beizhan: ...

He seemed to know something, and at the same time, he knew that no one would stop the woman's verbal attacks.

Whether they want to listen or not, they have no choice but to listen if the other party is willing to talk.

The young guard took several deep breaths, forcing himself to ignore his displeasure so that his superior wouldn't get scolded.

“When I was in the army, I worked in the logistics department for a period of time with Director Liao, so I know his daughter. Is there anything wrong with that?”

Gu Beizhan nodded in agreement, “I can testify to this. During the two years I was in a coma, the original bodyguard was transferred. This Xiao Liu was transferred from the logistics department later. Although he was called a bodyguard, he was actually more responsible for my living and security.”

After listening to him, Chu Xin exchanged a glance with Zhou Yichen and asked again:

"Since you say it has nothing to do with Liao Hong, then can you tell me who said I was arrogant and domineering, and that I bullied Wei Hongying and Zhang Ying?"

The young guard hesitated for a moment before saying, "I heard from Zhao Bin that you have a bad personality. I don't know Wei Hongying and Zhang Ying personally; I've only heard about them from Liao Hong, and I've also heard about some of the conflicts between you two."

Because Zhao Bin and I are from the same hometown and we get along quite well, I overheard a bit of his conversation. When he heard your name, he seemed distracted and started talking about things from your past.

She glanced at Zhou Yichen and continued, "Liao Hong said that her two good friends, Wei Hongying, are getting married far away, and Zhang Ying has disappeared. Both of these things happened after your conflict broke out. Doesn't that have anything to do with you?"

Chu Xin lowered her eyes. Zhao Bin?

As she suspected, someone was talking about her behind her back, but the person was a bit unexpected.

Zhao Bin's hometown is indeed in the southern province. Liao Hong is from the same hometown, and they may even be relatives. He probably ended his rural service through family connections and came to Beijing to serve in the army under the command of acquaintances.

This explains why Liu Cuiling went to Hong Kong alone; in the end, Zhao Bin's mother found a way to break them up.

Chu Xin felt a throbbing pain in her forehead.

She had never felt so acutely that the world was a giant makeshift operation.

Even when you've distanced yourself from certain people and things, and thought you'd never face them again in this lifetime, there will always be various reasons and justifications that push you to cross paths with them again.

These reasons can be people or things; their qualities and abilities vary, so the final impact on people can be good or bad.

For example, what Chu Xin is currently experiencing is not good.

But she has always lived a life of integrity.

"I don't have the power to do what you're talking about, and I'm too lazy to explain further. All I can tell you is that Wei Hongying and Zhang Ying were once in the Central Special Branch."

Wei Hongying is able to get married now, which means she can withstand investigation. As for Zhang Ying, well, you can figure that out for yourself!

Since it involved the Central Special Branch, it was no ordinary matter. The young guard and Bei Zhan both became serious and looked at Zhou Yichen at the same time.

After seeing his affirmative nod, my face suddenly felt a little hot.

The young guard stammered, "I...I didn't know there were these things..."

Chu Xin looked at him coldly, "That's not a reason. It's because you never had a righteous heart from the beginning. The so-called great principles you keep talking about are all based on your own preconceived notions."

"If you didn't have a fair perspective from the start, how can you possibly be interested in finding the truth? Comrade, your heart is crooked!"
