“We’ve already informed our superiors and we’ll leave you to arrange the job coverage. Goodbye.” After saying that, Xia Xiu helped Xia Jun up to walk out slowly. As Xia Mao left, he took a long look at Dong Ming before following closely behind them.

Dong Ming and Zhou Kun sat in the office helplessly. They did not know how to resolve this issue. In line with the normal procedure, Su Rui would at most be sentenced to life imprisonment. She did not cause any substantial harm to Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei and was also immediately restrained by Qiao Mei the moment she attempted extortion. The death penalty seemed to be a little too much for the crime.

Furthermore, there were also Su family members in the military. Even if the Su family did not contribute as much to the army as the Xia family, they also had some influence. The two sides had their own opinions and it was difficult for the two of them to know what to do.

The Su family had helped Su Rui to get a spot in this mission because of the danger involved, which meant that the a.s.signment came with substantial subsidies. As long as she was alive, she earned a salary from the military. Even if she failed this mission and lost her life, the family would also get a compensation sum.

After Su Rui returned to the country, she was locked up in the military prison and placed under strict guard. The Su family members were allowed one visit and Su Rui’s parents requested to go to the military prison to see her.

They were arranged to sit on opposite sides of a table. Before Su Rui could even speak, her mother immediately rushed up and gave her a tight slap, saying, “You b*tch! Why don’t you just die! It will be much better if you’re dead! If you’re dead, we can even get a large sum of money! How can you even face anyone now! How is your younger brother going to go through life in the future! ”

The prison guards quickly separated the two women. Su Rui’s parents were out of control and they continued to beat and scold Su Rui. They said all kinds of vicious things to her because what she did had a detrimental impact on her younger brother.

Su Rui’s younger brother also wanted to enter the military, but the first step of the process for any candidate was a political review. Su Rui had betrayed the organization and made such a serious mistake, so her younger brother could no longer work in any government unit. He could not even seek employment in the state-run factories and could only work odd jobs in the future.

“I…” Su Rui was so badly beaten up that she could not talk and only kept crying. After she had suffered so much grievances, the first thing her family did was not to ask about her well-being. Instead, they only wanted to know

why she was not dead yet.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the prison warden terminated the visit and gave Su Rui’s parents a stern lecture. After Su Rui returned to the prison cell, she fell into a daze. She did not eat or drink any water, as if she was really waiting for death to come.

The military court received the reports from Xia Zhe, Xia Wen, Ojao Mei and a joint pet.i.tion from Xia Jun, Xia Mao and the rest of the family. The sentence for Su Rui was quickly handed down and it was confirmed to be the death penalty.

When Xia Wen called Qiao Mei, she was not at home. It was Xia He who answered the phone. After Xia He heard the news, she rushed out and bought 1,000 dollars worth of fireworks. She then lined the entire street with fireworks.

“Oh! Xia He! What is your family doing? Is it some sort of festival in your country today?” a neighbor asked happily when he saw this.

“No! It’s… it’s my birthday! Everyone in the town should come to the square to watch the fireworks tonight!” Xia He shouted happily.

The news spread like wildfire and soon, everyone in the town knew about it. In order to put up a spectacular fireworks display, Xia He specially bought another 5,000 dollars’ worth! She almost emptied out the fireworks store!

As Qiao Mei made her way home, many people stopped her and stuffed gifts into her car, saying that these were Xia He’s birthday presents. Qiao Mei clearly remembered that Xia He’s birthday was already over for the year. What was going on today?

“Hey, why are you celebrating your birthday again? Do you know that the car’s backseat and trunk are filled with gifts from the neighbors!” Qiao Mei said unhappily when she reached home.

“It’s because I’m happy! Do you know! Su Rui has received the death sentence! Everyone in our family went on a strike because of this matter! We want the military to give us a reasonable explanation. It’s not just our family. Many soldiers who had gone on secret missions and their families also signed a pet.i.tion! Otherwise, Su Rui might only be sentenced to life imprisonment!” Xia He explained excitedly.

“So that’s why you’re so excited that you want to set off fireworks. Since you can’t come up with a reasonable excuse, you say that it’s your birthday,” Qiao Mei said with a helpless smile..
