"Idiot brain!" An Jingzhong's anger grew. "If we replace all of them at once, it would be too obvious. Why not replace them in batches? We have to wait until the next delivery to replace them. What should we do now?"

"It is said that there is no business without fraud, and it is absolutely true. Xue is really obsessed with making money. He wants to put all the money into his own pocket. He even dares to falsify the medicinal materials supplied to the army. Does he really think he has more than one head on his shoulders?"

"Trash, it's all trash!"

An Jingzhong yelled and cursed, his eyes red with anger.

Zhang Mingxin listened to these words and lowered his head.

If An Jingzhong got angry like this in the past, he would just think that his superiors were unhappy and would just listen to their scolding.

But after hearing what Lu Qiyan said before, he couldn't help feeling a little impatient when he heard An Jingzhong say this.

An Jingzhong had originally approved not to replace the ointments and medicinal materials, and even said nonchalantly that it would be fine. But now it has become the fault of his subordinates.

The reason why the batch of ointments and medicinal materials provided by Manager Xue were of inferior quality and made with cutting corners was because the amount of money An Jingzhong asked for was too large and he could not afford it, so he had to resort to this method.

Manager Xue had mentioned this matter before at the dinner table, and An Jingzhong had agreed to it, even boasting that he would be able to handle the problem even if an empty truck was transported into the military camp, let alone the insufficient amount of medicinal materials.

But now, it was all his and Manager Xue's fault.

It really proves what Lu Qiyan said, human nature cannot stand the test.

When it really came to a critical moment, An Jingzhong felt that it was all others who were at fault, and it was possible that he would be pushed out as a scapegoat...

No, this must not be allowed to happen!

If this matter is really unavoidable, then he doesn't mind destroying both sides!
Zhang Mingxin clenched his fists tightly.

An Jingzhong was already furious, and when he saw Zhang Mingxin remained silent, he became even more furious, "Hurry up and think about what to do now!"

Zhang Mingxin came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and said, "It's better to say that the warehouse keeper and the military doctor colluded to steal, replacing the good ones in the army with inferior ointments and medicinal materials, and then sold them for money. They were in cahoots and enriched themselves."

"When the time comes, we will get rid of all these people, which will be considered as an explanation to everyone and will silence the gossips."

"That's a solution." An Jingzhong calmed down a little, "But I'm still a little worried about my father..."

"Lu Qiyan hasn't found anything recently, right?" An Jingzhong was a little wary.

"Probably not. I've been looking for Lu Qiyan a lot recently and have asked him indirectly, but he doesn't seem to know anything."

Zhang Mingxin said, "I don't think he has made any moves recently. He probably doesn't care too much about this matter. After all, this matter involves you, the military commander. Lu Qiyan is also a smart man and knows what to do."

"That's good." An Jingzhong breathed a sigh of relief. "Just find a few suitable people to take over as you said. When father asks, I will have something to say."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Zhang Mingxin hurried away.

At night, someone brought word that the commander of the wing wanted An Jingzhong to go over, saying that he had something to discuss.

What was to be discussed was self-evident. After taking a deep breath, An Jingzhong mustered up the courage to go to the tent of the commander of the wing.

He walked straight into the tent of the wing commander and saluted respectfully, "Father..."

Before he finished speaking, An Jingzhong looked down and noticed something coming towards him. He subconsciously dodged to the side. The teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

An Jingzhong was startled. When he looked up and saw An Leiting with a livid face, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, "Father..."

"Do you know you are wrong?" An Leiting was furious, his eyes were wide open, as if he was going to spit out fire and burn An Jingzhong to ashes.

This look frightened An Jingzhong, and his neck shrank even more. "I don't know where I went wrong. Please tell me clearly, father."

I don’t know where I went wrong?

At this point, you still don’t know where you went wrong?
Or did he already know the truth but is now trying to cover it up, and will only admit it when he can no longer hide it?
An Leiting narrowed his eyes.

Based on his understanding of An Jingzhong, the latter is most likely.

But it is also the most heartbreaking.

Judging the situation is an essential skill for those who want to survive in the court and officialdom, but it is obvious that An Jingzhong does not have it.

He obviously didn't understand that it would be much better for him to admit it voluntarily in front of his father than to be forced to say it in the end.

When An Leiting thought that his only decent legitimate son turned out to be like this, and that everything he had painstakingly planned for the An family would come to a standstill in An Jingzhong's hands, he felt extremely annoyed, and his disgust for An Jingzhong increased as well.

"This matter has been widely circulated in the army for a long time. You are involved in it, how could you not know about it?" An Leiting asked.

"Father, are you talking about the military medicine supplies that have been a hot topic in the army recently?" An Jingzhong swallowed his saliva. "But please be clear about this matter, father. Those people are slandering me. I have never done anything to enrich myself, and I have never ignored the soldiers in the army."

An Leiting suppressed his inner anger and patiently continued to ask, "Then tell me, who is responsible for this matter?"

"I've asked someone to investigate. The warehouse guards and military doctors colluded with each other and secretly replaced the normal military medicines with ointments that were made with shoddy materials and had poor efficacy. They then sold them for money and made a profit. This is why many people used ointments and medicines but still suffered from long-term illnesses and even died from them."

An Jingzhong said, "I have ordered people to take the relevant people into custody and wait for your father's decision."

An Leiting frowned.

Some cleverness, but not much.

The warehouse keeper and the military doctor colluded with each other to replace one thing with another, resulting in many casualties among the soldiers?
Not to mention whether such treatment can calm the anger of the soldiers, the army has strict discipline, and people entering and leaving the barracks must be searched. How can they get away with smuggling?

Moreover, just a few guards and military doctors can do this. Doesn't this tell others that the army led by An Leiting is like a sieve, full of loopholes, and anything can sneak into the barracks?
By then, wouldn't An Leiting become a laughing stock among others?

"Father..." An Jingzhong didn't dare to look at An Leiting's face, and whispered, "Every word my son said is true."

true?

I'm afraid even ghosts won't believe you.

An Leiting snorted coldly and looked at An Jingzhong with increasing impatience.

He still couldn't understand why An Jingzhong was so stupid, and what he didn't understand even more was why An Jingzhong even cared about these petty gains.

Although the An family is not as wealthy as the Wen and He families, their achievements at this time still allow them to enjoy prosperity and wealth for several generations. (End of this chapter)
