Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 1503: Not a Place to Trespass Arbitrarily

Upon hearing this voice, everyone turned to look toward the back of the auditorium.

An Hao stood there, her face colored with indignation.

When Ning Yibin saw An Hao, he froze for a moment, his dark eyebrows furrowing. This was an award ceremony, not a place where one could just barge in.

Everyone in the auditorium fell silent, watching how the situation would unfold.

"Leader, who is this woman? How dare she? How did she get in?" A new soldier, who had just enlisted for a year, didn’t know who An Hao was and whispered to his comrade beside him.

"Don’t you know? She’s the wife of Commander Qin Jian, and the daughter-in-law of the Commander."

"Does a military spouse have this kind of privilege?" She just barged into an army award ceremony.

"You might not know since you’re new here, but she has a military rank. She’s from the Military Medical University. She graduated with a higher rank than you and me."

"No wonder."

"What did she mean by saying our Vice Commander feels such disgraceful shame?"

"I don’t know. Stop prying, do you want to die?" The leader lowered his voice and scolded him.

The young soldier knew it wasn’t his place to pry, so he swallowed all the words he had wanted to say.

Seeing An Hao standing there furiously, with no intention of leaving but instead stepping forward, Ning Yibin raised his hand and waved, signaling her to go back.

An Hao did not stop, her eyes fixed on Hen Zhiyuan’s face, eventually stopping before the stage.

She slowly raised her hand and gave all the leaders seated a solemn military salute, "Reporting to all the leaders, An Hao is here to receive the award on behalf of Qin Jian."

Ning Yibin nodded slightly, gesturing for An Hao to sit down.

"Come on, Commander Hen! Continue your report..." Zhang Jianguo, seeing that the situation was dealt with, returned to the agenda.

"Uh, leaders, I have finished my words." Hen Zhiyuan didn’t continue speaking.

From An Hao’s words and expressions, he had concluded that perhaps she knew something.

Or, she had sensed something was amiss.

Otherwise, An Hao wouldn’t have treated him with such an attitude.

Since Hen Zhiyuan stopped speaking, and the second-class merit had been awarded, he moved on to the next item.

However, An Hao’s mouth curled into a sardonic smile, "What’s the matter? Vice Commander Hen stops speaking the moment I arrive? Are you afraid I’d say something?"

Hen Zhiyuan, seeing An Hao continuously targeting him coldly, knew he couldn’t speak further, so his face fell and took on a pained expression, "I’m truly sorry. I couldn’t save Commander Qin and Camp Commander Tian! I’m genuinely saddened! I don’t deserve this second-class merit! If possible, I wish I had been the one to fall, not Commander Qin!"

"Really?"

An Hao narrowed her eyes and slowly said, "Are you sure you couldn’t save them, or did you deliberately choose not to help?"

"Little sister-in-law, I understand your grief, but accusing me like this is something I can’t bear."

"Whether I’m accusing you, I think you know better than I do..."

An Hao and Hen Zhiyuan were at loggerheads, and the leaders looked at each other, none speaking.

Since Commander Ning was present, they waited to see what Commander Ning would say.

Indeed, Ning Yibin, without waiting for others to speak, took the initiative, "Comrade An Hao, this is an award ceremony. If you have any personal grievances with Vice Commander Hen, please discuss it afterward. Do not disrupt the proceedings now."

An Hao was silent for two seconds before answering, "Yes!"
