"Yes, but I always end up cleaning up their mess. Look at the police station situation, not too big, not too small, and now we're still busy dealing with it."
"Lao Wu, that's where you're wrong. I think Sienna did a great job at the police station. She knew the woman was a military wife and still tried to calm things down instead of making it worse."
"I didn't say she did a bad job. But look, since trouble already started, why didn't she just knock all of them down? I feel like I worked hard for nothing."
Yao Yun heard this and said, "So basically, you think she shouldn't have let it go so easily?"
"Hehehe, I just wanted Old Gao to get into some trouble too. He's been too relaxed. It was the police officer's fault in the first place."
"Come on, go prepare for tomorrow's big meeting. You're in charge of guiding everyone's thoughts. You'll be very busy tomorrow."
On the other side, Larry and his wife had just entered the house. As soon as they got inside, Larry hit Haidi.
Slap
"This is the good idea you thought of? If things go big at tomorrow's meeting, neither of us will get anything good out of it."
After saying that, Larry kicked and punched Haidi. "Listen to me. If anything happens, you better take all the blame. Otherwise, go back to the countryside."
"Alright, husband, I really didn't expect Sienna to be so shameless. She dared to make a big scene."
"Everyone, quiet. Today's meeting is to address the rumors in the unit. We're all here to clear things up. Also, from now on, we will have weekly moral education classes. Military wives will attend twice a week, and soldiers will attend once a week."
After Wu Wen finished speaking, he stepped down. Sienna walked up to the stage and spoke directly.
"All the soldiers whose wives I hit yesterday, please come up to the stage."
After hearing this, everyone's face changed. Was this meant to embarrass them?
Once they were all on stage, Sienna asked, "Who started the rumor in the unit?"
A military officer said, "Comrade Sienna, you've gone too far. You hit our wives. We let it go because you're a woman, and yes, they were wrong too, but now you're pushing it."
Sienna looked at them and said, "So you don't know? Or you don't want to say? Or were you part of it?"
Seeing no one answered, Sienna didn't hold back. "Since none of you are talking, that means you're all involved. As soldiers, you don't even have the courage to admit it?"
The commander and deputy commander were also there. They already knew what had happened. Looking at the stage full of officers, they felt ashamed. If all of them were part of this, it would really embarrass the army.
The commander, Wei Xing, spoke up. "Didn't I ask you to speak? Why are you all silent?"
"Reporting!" A company commander from the First Battalion spoke.
"Speak."
"I didn't spread any rumors. My only fault was that I didn't stop it or help Comrade Sienna clear things up. Other than that, I have nothing to be ashamed of."
"What about the rest of you?"
"Reporting."
"Reporting."
"Reporting."
"... "
Then, seven or eight more people stepped forward, all giving the same reason as the first one.
The commander looked at the two remaining regiment leaders, one main and one deputy. "Fang Hongjun, Zhu Aiguo, one of you is a main regiment leader, the other is a deputy. Is this how you think? Go back and write a reflection. One week of confinement. Everyone must submit a written reflection to the political office."
"Yes, sir."
After scolding them, the commander said, "Comrade Sienna, how do you want to handle the rest of them?"
"Commander, just sit and watch. Don't stop me."
Then she didn't hold back anymore. She stepped forward directly. "Since all of you were involved, let's have a little spar."
Without waiting for their answer, Sienna started with the first man beside her. She kicked him into the air, followed by a shoulder throw, then kicked him aside.
The others were shocked by her clean and sharp moves. They didn't expect this. They had heard she was skilled, but thought it was just talk.
Everyone got ready to fight. One battalion commander said, "Comrade Sienna, we can apologize for the rumor. We just said you were kidnapped. We didn't say anything bad. If we fight, you might get hurt."
"Stop wasting time. Let's go."
Sienna charged forward and fought them. This time, she held back a little but still handled all of them easily.
After knocking them down, she went up and kicked each one together into a pile.
The people below admired her smooth moves. The commander spoke to the deputy commander, "Why didn't she join the army? Why did she get married? Wouldn't she be better off alone? A top soldier like her was stolen by that shameless Rowan. Yao Yun and Wu Wen keep saying they're convincing her to enlist, but they haven't done it. What's the point?"
The deputy commander replied, "Watch your words. She's a military wife now. Don't stir things up. And remember, she just beat up your soldiers."
"They don't count. I'm too ashamed. A group of grown men can't fight off one girl. They need more training. If they don't drop from exhaustion, I'll push them harder myself."
On the stage, Sienna walked up to them and asked, "Who started it? Tell me."
No one spoke. Sienna started hitting again. Among them, Larry suffered the worst. Sienna didn't hold back at all and aimed straight for the painful spots.
"Comrade Sienna, we really were just discussing the kidnapping. We didn't say anything over the line."
"Oh? So what? Since none of you will tell who started it, I'll just keep hitting. Once the whole army sees how strong I am, the rumors will stop by themselves."
After speaking, she prepared to strike again, but another company commander said, "Stop. It really wasn't us, but I know the harsh words came from the 4th battalion of the 3rd regiment."
Hearing this, Sienna asked, "And you all?"
That group nodded. They didn't want to get beaten again. They hadn't even said anything that bad, but now they were bruised all over, like their bones were falling apart.
This time, Chen Mengmeng turned her attention to the 4th battalion. But she didn't fight anymore. Instead, she went straight to the commander.
"The rumor started from the 4th battalion of the 3rd regiment. If I remember right, Larry got promoted from there. The gossip in the family housing area came from his wife."
Hearing this, the commander immediately went on stage and said, "Everyone must write a reflection and a 10,000-word thought report. All officers from the 4th battalion are confined for two weeks, and they must write 20,000-word reports and publicly apologize to both comrades."
"One last thing. The kidnapper is still lying in the hospital, unable to move."
Hearing the result, Sienna was satisfied. Anyway, she had already enjoyed beating them up. After this, the rumor would collapse on its own.
