Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 318 The Anonymous Tip

"Of course there's no reason for the Colonel to take someone's money. We know that for sure. But not

everyone knows that her husband is Edward Mu, the CEO of the FX International Group. So someone

just seized the opportunity to frame her and accuse her of bribery." Mark's strained voice dropped to a

murmur, as if he wanted to say more, but he changed his mind.

"Fine, I'm going to the commander. Has Mr. Mu been informed of this? What is he going to do about

it?" Kevin figured that Edward would fix this mess as soon as he learned of it.

"Yes, he has. Mr. Mu was informed last night. But the Colonel doesn't know that she's been suspended.

He told me not tell her anything about it since she's still ill. Mr. Mu must already have a plan in action to

deal with it. He told me not to worry and that he would take care of everything." Mark was still worried

despite Edward's assurance. He told Kevin about the anonymous tip, hoping to know more with Kevin's

help. After all, everything Mark knew was hearsay and he couldn't confirm anything he was told.

"What? She got sick? Is it serious?" Kevin asked with so much concern that Mark stared at him in

confusion. 'Does he still have a crush on Colonel? Isn't he already married? Oh my god, what is this

man thinking about?' Mark thought to himself.

"Don't worry. She just came down with a fever." Mark relayed what Edward told him. He had no idea

what was actually going on. But he believed Edward since there was no need for Edward to lie to him.

"I see. Is the Commander in now?" Kevin looked at his watch with a frown. The commander was

probably pressured by the higher officials to suspend Daisy. Otherwise, he wouldn't suspend her since

Daisy was his most valuable officer.

"He's in the office. I saw him there." Since Mark had been following the development of this matter, he

kept an eye on everyone involved.

Actually, the commander was surprised when he learnt of the matter. Not long ago, he reminded Daisy

to be careful. He didn't expect someone to target her so soon. Even though the commander didn't

believe the accusations against Daisy, he knew that Daisy must have some vulnerable points that

others could capitalize on. The commander was in deep thought when Kevin walked in.

"Commander, why did you suspend the Colonel?" Kevin didn't beat around the bush. The commander

obviously knew what he came for.

"I received orders from the top. The anonymous tip is from someone who knows very well how things

work in the military base. The person sent a copy of the letter to the top officials' public e-mail.

Otherwise, I could've handled it myself. What's done is done. Daisy must rest at home for a while."

The commander couldn't believe that Daisy was a CEO's mistress as the letter had said, but there were

pictures attached. Unable to deny the accusations, he had to follow orders.

"Who framed her? Commander, don't tell me you also believe this nonsense. You know her well. Daisy

is by no means the kind of person who would take someone else's money." Kevin's voice trembled with

emotion. What was the discipline inspection department doing? How could they ignore people who

were actually receiving bribes and focus on an innocent person like Daisy?

"I definitely believe in her! But it doesn't matter since it's not my decision. On top of that, there's another

accusation against her besides the bribery. How can I defend her now? We can't do anything but wait

for the results of investigation. It's a pity, I was planning to give her a promotion since she did so well

during the military exercise. I feel so sorry for her. Life can be unpredictable."

The commander sighed. It made his heart ache a lot to see Daisy being attacked by someone in this

crucial moment. He had known Daisy for so many years and treated her as a beloved daughter. How

could he calm down when Daisy was being investigated by the discipline department?

"Two accusations? What's the other one?" Kevin frowned, taking a swig from the bottled water in front

of him. He had to hydrate himself in case another blow was coming. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Do you know anything about Daisy's private life?" Since Daisy stopped staying in the army base,

something must have changed in her life recently.

"Which aspect of her private life?" Kevin asked, lifting one of his eyebrows. Why was the commander

asking about her private life? Was it related to the case?

"For example, does she often meet with some of the well-known CEOs in S City?" The commander

asked vaguely. He didn't mention the abusive language in the letter. The sender inappropriately called

Daisy a slut.

"Isn't it normal for her to meet some of them? I thought it's natural. Do you forget who her husband

was?" Kevin thought the question was silly. The commander must've seen Daisy's personnel file and

knew who her husband was.

"It has nothing to do with her husband. I'm asking you if she has a close relationship with some of the

well-known CEOs in S City, not her husband!" The commander got impatient at Kevin's evasiveness,

especially when he mentioned Daisy's mysterious husband.

"Yes, it does. Since Edward is the CEO of the FX International Group, people around him must be

some well-known CEOs. As his wife, it's natural that Daisy would meet some of them." Kevin thought

the commander was getting senile. Why would he ask such silly questions? The answer was obvious.

"Wait, what did you say? Did you say that the CEO of the FX International Group is Daisy's husband?

Then the tip-off makes no sense!" The commander was shocked by what he just heard. It made no

sense that someone would accuse Daisy of stealing someone else's husband, when Edward Mu was

her husband. In that case, the sender was deliberately trying to sabotage a military officer's marriage.

"What? I thought you knew that. I want to see the letter." The corner of Kevin's mouth twitched. No

wonder the commander kept asking odd questions. He had no idea who Daisy's husband was.

"Since when did you know that? Why didn't you tell me? Is your information reliable?" The commander

took the letter out of the drawer in a huff and tossed it to Kevin. If Edward Mu was Daisy's husband,

why hadn't he made an appearance in front of them for so many years? Besides, Edward Mu owned

the entire FX International Group. How could he let Daisy be a single mother and raise their son alone

without supporting her?

"It's definitely true. My wife interacts with them a lot." Thinking about Edward and his celebrity friends in

S City gave Kevin a headache. Because they were high-profile and made trouble everywhere, Kevin

didn't like attending the anniversary party of the FX International Group. He worried about getting

involved in some trouble with them.

"If that's the case, we don't have to worry about it anymore. The problem is solved." The commander

breathed a sigh of relief. That would explain why Daisy drove a posh car and would prove that the

accusation of her stealing someone's husband was absolute nonsense.

"Who took these pictures? It looks like they were taken at the gate of our base." Kevin asked as he

studied the pictures attached to the letter. It made his heart ache to see Daisy and Edward embracing

each other. He shook his head and pulled himself together.

"How could I possibly know that? Maybe the one who sent the letter took these pictures." The

commander was contemplating how to deal with this whole thing. Should he report it to the leaders? Or

should he wait until they found out themselves? He decided to report it. The commander was

concerned that Daisy might get a low score in the performance assessment because of it.

"The person who sent this letter is an ignorant jerk. How could someone accuse Daisy of being Edward

Mu's mistress before investigating further?" Kevin angrily tossed the letter on the table. Who on earth

was this bastard? The person was probably mentally-ill. No wonder Daisy came down with a cold. The

disciplinary investigation must have been torture to her. Daisy was good at disciplining herself and

never caused any trouble. The letter must have been sent by one of Edward's exes. Daisy got into

trouble because of him.

"Kevin, do a secret investigation and find out if one of our men sent this letter. The person who sent it

seems very familiar with us." As he spoke, the commander thought of someone. But he shook his head

at the possibility. Even though the guy was narrow-minded, he wasn't stupid enough to do something

like that. If he was discovered to be the person behind this, his whole career would be ruined.

"Copy that. I'm relieved to get things straight. The accusations in the letter are completely false." Kevin

was worrying about the letter on his way to the commander. He didn't expect that the problem could be

solved quickly by simply telling the truth. Kevin was certain that Edward would take care of everything.

But he wasn't sure if Edward had been informed that Daisy was also accused of stealing someone

else's husband. Daisy would probably love Edward even more after he fixed things for her.
