Chapter 111: Someone with Ideological Problems Like Her Is a Ticking Time Bomb!

“Bang!”

Bai Rumeng practically slammed open the door to the political commissar’s office.

Wang Zhengwei was reviewing documents and was startled by her abrupt entrance. His brows immediately furrowed. “Comrade Bai Rumeng, what is the meaning of this? Such frantic behavior is utterly improper!”

“Commissar!” Bai Rumeng’s voice was shrill and sharp, carrying a morbid excitement. “I want to report someone!”

With a loud slap, she threw a kraft paper envelope she had just retrieved from the post office heavily onto Wang Zhengwei’s desk.

“I’m reporting Xu Xiangsi! She never truly severed ties with her denounced grandfather!”

Wang Zhengwei’s expression instantly turned grave.

He picked up the envelope and pulled out several sheets of paper.

There, in black and white, stamped with the red official seal from Shanghai, it was clearly documented.

On the evening before Xu Xiangsi’s grandfather and uncles were sent down to Storm Island, Xu Xiangsi had visited their home!

Wang Zhengwei’s gaze sharpened like a knife.

Seeing this, Bai Rumeng immediately became as agitated as if she had been injected with adrenaline, shouting excitedly.

“Commissar, you see it now, don’t you!”

“By that time, her father Xu Rongchang had already publicly denounced them in the newspaper! He severed ties on Xu Xiangsi’s behalf too!”

“But what about her? She feigns compliance while acting contrary! She says one thing to your face but does another behind your back!”

“She secretly went to visit those capitalist roaders! What does that prove?”

Bai Rumeng’s voice suddenly rose several pitches, filled with malicious glee.

“It proves that deep down, she’s not on the same side as us! She’s a complete remnant of capitalism!”

“How can someone with such serious ideological problems be allowed to stay on our Cloud Sky Island! How can she be allowed to marry our combat hero Battalion Commander Long!”

She took a step forward, her face contorted almost grotesquely.

“Commissar! I request that the organization deal with her severely!”

“And! Immediately declare Battalion Commander Long’s marriage to her invalid! We can’t let Battalion Commander Long be deceived by this class enemy for the rest of his life!”

Wang Zhengwei’s brows knitted into a tight frown.

He looked down upon Bai Rumeng’s behavior of seeking credit and climbing over others from the bottom of his heart.

But the envelope was right there on the desk, the black and white text clear, the red seal glaring.

This matter, he couldn’t ignore.

“Go, summon Comrade Xu Xiangsi for questioning,” Wang Zhengwei ordered his aide in a low voice.

“Wait, Commissar!”

Bai Rumeng shrilled, darting forward to block the aide.

“This can’t be handled privately!”

“What if she relies on Battalion Commander Long’s support and stubbornly refuses to admit it?”People with unstable class positions are the best at making excuses!””

She spat as she spoke, putting on a righteous and heroic front.

“She must be exposed in front of everyone! Let her have nowhere to hide in the vast ocean of the masses!”

Wang Zhengwei’s head throbbed from the barrage of political accusations she hurled.

He knew Bai Rumeng wanted to blow this up, to ensure Xu Xiangsi could never recover.

Though he despised it, in such a sensitive climate, procedural correctness was paramount.

He rubbed his temples hard and waved his hand impatiently.

“Alright! Alright!”

“Do as you say!”

Armed with this authorization, Bai Rumeng immediately puffed up with pride, strutting like a rooster that had just won a fight.

She followed behind Wang Zhengwei and the officer, straightening her back as she walked toward the military family compound.

With such a commotion, how could the people in the military family compound not know?

“Hey, isn’t that Wang Zhengwei?”

“Isn’t that Bai Rumeng from the Arts Troupe following behind? Look at her smug expression!”

“Whose house are they going to?”

Doors swung open one after another, and curious heads peeked out.

Soon, everyone noticed that the group had stopped directly in front of Long Peiye’s home.

Instantly, all eyes converged there, the air thick with gossip and speculation.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The officer knocked on the door.

The door was quickly pulled open, revealing the tall and upright Long Peiye standing in the doorway. Behind him was Xu Xiangsi, who had just put down her things.

Before Wang Zhengwei could speak, Bai Rumeng impatiently squeezed out from behind him and pointed a finger at Xu Xiangsi’s nose.

“Xu Xiangsi!” Her voice was sharp and piercing, as if it could tear through eardrums. “You capitalist remnant hiding in our revolutionary ranks! How dare you pretend!”

At these words, the onlooking military family members gasped in shock.

Bai Rumeng’s voice continued, filled with malicious glee: “You simply couldn’t let go of your capitalist young mistress lifestyle! You’ve been secretly contacting your exiled grandfather and uncles behind everyone’s back!”

“Someone like you is nothing but pollution to our revolutionary ranks!”

The surroundings instantly erupted into chaos.

But amid the murmurs, many military family members frowned.

“Isn’t Bai Rumeng going too far?”

“Exactly, they’re her own grandfather and uncles. It’s only human nature.”

“Is it worth destroying someone over a man?”

Long Peiye’s face instantly turned cold as ice.

He stepped forward, his tall frame shielding Xu Xiangsi completely behind him.

His gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight through Bai Rumeng.

“Comrade Bai Rumeng,” his voice was low but carried immense pressure, “I’d like to ask, what right do you have to access my wife Xu Xiangsi’s personal files?”

“Moreover, how could such private movements be clearly recorded in the files? And through what channels did you obtain them?”

This series of precise and sharp questions struck directly at the heart of the matter.

Bai Rumeng’s face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly lifted her chin, appearing confident and unafraid. “I have my ways!”

She cast a contemptuous glance at Long Peiye, then shifted her tone to one of threat.

“Battalion Commander Long, I advise you to cut ties with her immediately!”

“Someone with problematic ideology like her is a ticking time bomb! You’ve been deceived by her!”

“If you persist in your ignorance and ruin your own bright future for a class enemy like her, it’s not worth it!”

“You—!” Long Peiye’s fists instantly clenched, veins bulging on the back of his hands.

Just as he was about to erupt, a soft, small hand gently grasped his arm.

“Long Peiye.”

Xu Xiangsi’s voice was quiet, yet carried a strangely calming power.

She stepped out from behind him and calmly met Bai Rumeng’s distorted face.

To everyone’s astonishment, Xu Xiangsi actually nodded.

“Comrade Bai Rumeng, you’re right.”

What?!

The surrounding crowd was stunned.

Bai Rumeng was also stunned. All the words she had prepared were stuck in her throat.

She only heard Xu Xiangsi continue speaking unhurriedly: “Before my grandfather and the others were sent down, I did go to see them.”

She admitted it frankly.

Then, she shifted the topic, her clear gaze sweeping over everyone present.
