"What? The battle has just ended, and those people are ready to torment me?"
After hearing the old brigade commander's words, Li Qiufan immediately understood what was going on, and then smiled and said to the old brigade commander.
"There is indeed someone who is in charge. Now the Military Commission is asking the special commissioner to go back for questioning and then handle your matter."
The old brigade commander nodded towards Li Qiufan and said that his guess was correct. Someone did jump out and mentioned this matter again recently.
"How is the Commander-in-Chief's condition?"
After hearing the old brigade commander's words, Li Qiufan frowned and pondered for a moment, and then asked about the commander-in-chief's condition.
"Haha, you are really a naughty boy!"
"The Commander-in-Chief has recovered well, but he is not ready yet, otherwise these people would not have chosen to attack you at this time!"
Hearing Li Qiufan ask about the commander-in-chief's condition, the old brigade commander laughed directly, relieved that Li Qiufan saw the key to the matter at a glance.
"You guessed it, they are trying to attack me before the Commander-in-Chief is so quick, otherwise they will have no chance!"
Li Qiufan had long understood what was going on, and even more understood why the other party was attacking him at this time.
The war in the peninsula was not over yet. As the frontline commander of the Volunteer Army, no one dared to attack him there.
Now that the war is over and the commander-in-chief is recovering from illness, they have found the opportunity to attack Li Qiufan.
"Yes, if the commander-in-chief is fine and he is in the country now, who would dare to jump out and target you!"
The old brigade commander nodded in agreement. If the commander-in-chief was not sick and was in China, no one would dare to attack Li Qiufan.
"I assigned that special correspondent to the Second Army of the First Corps. This guy was very lucky and did not die under the bombing of enemy planes."
Li Qiufan shook his head helplessly, and then told the old brigade commander the whereabouts of the special commissioner of the Military Commission.
"Since he's still alive, let's send him back. We can't disobey the Military Commission's order. Let's hold off as long as possible until the commander-in-chief recovers!"
After hearing that the special commissioner was still alive, the old brigade commander pondered for a moment and said to Li Qiufan.
"Then let's do this first. They can't shoot me. Let's wait until the commander-in-chief recovers!"
Li Qiufan nodded towards the old brigade commander. He could only delay this matter as long as possible. The only way to solve it was for the commander-in-chief to step forward.
Afterwards, Li Qiufan left the Volunteer Army Headquarters. After returning to the army, he issued an order for the entire army to retreat to the 38th parallel. At the same time, he sent someone to send the general commissioner to Zhisi.
On the third day after the special commissioner returned to China, the Volunteer Army Headquarters received an order from the Military Commission to relieve Li Qiufan of the Volunteer Army's frontline commander, first deputy commander, and commander of the First Corps.
Then Li Qiufan was asked to go to the Volunteer Army Headquarters immediately and wait for the arrival of the Military Commission investigation team.
Li Qiufan was very calm after receiving the order. He had already guessed that this would be the case.
The previous special commissioner found nothing when he came, and was almost immediately banned by the Commander-in-Chief.
This time, the special commissioner was asked to return to China just to find a reason to re-investigate Li Qiufan.
After receiving the order from the old brigade commander, Li Qiufan rushed to the Volunteer Army Headquarters and waited for the arrival of the Military Commission's investigation team.
"This matter is not easy to handle. Those people acted too quickly. They sent an investigation team here in just a few days!"
After seeing Li Qiufan, the old brigade commander spoke to him with a worried look on his face.
"This is pretty good. I was not asked to return to China directly to undergo investigation."
After hearing what the old brigade commander said, Li Qiufan smiled and said to him.
"Do you think the Military Commission didn't mention it? I suppressed it, otherwise you would have ended up in the Yalu River all this time!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan was still in the mood to smile, the old brigade commander glared at him angrily and said.
"Uh, that's what happened."
Li Qiufan was stunned after hearing what the old brigade commander said. He thought that the other party had left some room and was not planning to kill him. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the old brigade commander.
"Alas~"
"You're such a bigot. I haven't even slept well these past few days. I really owed you something in my previous life!"
"I don't know who is behind this, trying every possible means to pull you down!"
The old brigade commander sighed helplessly. What happened this time made him feel powerless.
"I can probably guess a little bit, but I'm not sure."
Li Qiufan saw the old brigade commander's concern for him and was very moved.
And when he heard the old brigade commander talking about the person behind him, a figure instantly appeared in Li Qiufan's mind.
"Do you have any clues about this kid? Tell me!"
Hearing Li Qiufan say that he could probably guess the person behind the scenes, the old brigade commander's eyes widened immediately, and then he spoke to him.
Seeing the curious look on the old brigade commander's face, Li Qiufan looked around and whispered a name in his ear.
"What? You think it's him?"
After hearing the name Li Qiufan said, the old brigade commander's already staring eyes widened even more, full of disbelief.
"I'm just guessing, but it's very likely."
Li Qiufan nodded towards the old brigade commander. Although the other party had not been exposed yet, Li Qiufan was very confident that he could confirm who it was.
"Then what does he want to do?"
Seeing Li Qiufan's confident look, the old brigade commander couldn't help but feel his heart sink, and then murmured with a puzzled look on his face.
In the next few days, Li Qiufan stayed at the Volunteer Army Headquarters, waiting for the arrival of the Military Commission's investigation team.
But after waiting for several days, he still didn't arrive, which made Li Qiufan wonder if the other party was lost.
On the fifth day, Li Qiufan finally received the news, and the news surprised him.
That is, the Military Commission sent a telegram to the Volunteer Army Headquarters, canceling the investigation against Li Qiufan and reinstating all his duties.
"Old brigadier, what's going on?"
After listening to the Military Commission order read by the old brigade commander, Li Qiufan asked him doubtfully.
This matter was already a done deal, and the Military Commission's investigation team came just for a formality, and then found a reason to bring Li Qiufan back to the country. Unexpectedly, it has taken another turn.
"Someone has spoken for you."
After hearing Li Qiufan's inquiry, the old brigade commander smiled at him and said.
The old brigade commander not only received the telegram from the Military Commission, but also received some other news.
"Speak for me? Commander-in-Chief?"
After hearing what the old brigade commander said, Li Qiufan immediately thought of the commander-in-chief, but no one except the commander-in-chief would help him.
"I didn't expect you to be quite popular. The commander-in-chief didn't help you with this matter, and more than one person helped you."
The old brigade commander shook his head at Li Qiufan. The resolution of this matter was not due to the commander-in-chief's intervention. He was also very surprised after receiving the news.
