Chapter 1707 Why is this happening?
However, just the night before the concert, Chen Xu suddenly found Qin Yuan, his face full of trepidation and uneasiness.
"Qin Yuan, I regret it a little." He whispered, with a hint of confusion in his tone, "I don't know if I did this right. What if Ye Cunxin misunderstood?"
Qin Yuan looked at Chen Xu in front of him and understood his concerns in his heart. He patted Chen Xu on the shoulder and comforted him: "Company Commander, since he has decided, you must face it bravely. Ye Cunxin is a smart girl, and she will understand your intention."
Chen Xu sighed and nodded: "You are right, I can't back down at this time. Thank you, Qin Yuan."
On the night of the concert, Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin sat side by side in the concert hall, surrounded by melodious piano sounds and audiences intoxicated by the music. Although both of them were a little nervous, as the music flowed, they gradually relaxed and began to enjoy this rare tranquility time.
After the concert, Chen Xu plucked up the courage to express his thoughts to Ye Cunxin: "Ye Cunxin, I am very grateful for coming tonight. In fact, I have always admired you and hope to be a better friend with you."
Ye Cunxin looked at Chen Xu's serious face, and a warm current surged in her heart. She responded with a smile: "Company Commander Chen Xu, I am also very happy to be able to listen to the concert with you. We can communicate more in the future."
The night was drooping and the lights were on. Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin walked out of the concert hall side by side. Both of them had satisfaction and joy. The melody at the concert seemed to be echoing in their ears, making them feel particularly comfortable.
"Today's concert is really good, what do you think?" Chen Xu took the lead in speaking, breaking the silence.
Ye Cunxin nodded and responded with a smile: "Yes, those classical music are really touching. Thank you for inviting me to come. I have a great time."
Chen Xu felt a little happy when he heard this. He glanced at Ye Cunxin secretly and saw her smiling like a flower, he felt even more certain about his feelings for her. However, at this moment, a disharmonious voice broke the beautiful atmosphere.
"Oh, isn't this a big beauty in our military camp? Why did you meet this here so by chance?" A squirming voice sounded in Ye Cunxin's ears, and then a gangster wearing a floral shirt appeared in their sight.
Ye Cunxin frowned, obviously unhappy with the arrival of this uninvited guest. She subconsciously leaned against Chen Xu to seek protection. Chen Xu also immediately noticed Ye Cunxin's nervousness. He straightened his back and blocked the gangster's vision with his body, trying to give Ye Cunxin a sense of security.
"What are you doing? We don't know you." Chen Xu spoke coldly, revealing a warning in his tone.
The gangster was not afraid at all. He looked up and down at Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin, with a wretched smile on his face: "Oh, don't be so arrogant. Beauty, you are so beautiful, how can you be with such a lump of wood? Why don't you get along with me? I promise to make you delicious and spicy."
As he said that, the gangster actually reached out to pull Ye Cunxin's arm. Chen Xu was immediately angry when he saw this. He grabbed the gangster's wrist and twisted it hard, causing the gangster to scream.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" The gangster struggled to break free from Chen Xu's shackles, but Chen Xu's strength was amazing, making him unable to move at all.
"I warn you not to cause trouble." Chen Xu glared at the gangster and said in a cold tone. After that, he let go of his hand, and the gangster immediately rolled and crawled.
Ye Cunxin looked at Chen Xu's heroic figure, and a warm current surged in her heart. She looked at Chen Xu gratefully and said softly: "Thank you, Chen Xu."
Chen Xu turned his head and looked at Ye Cunxin's gentle eyes. The anger in his heart disappeared. He smiled slightly and shook his head: "It's okay, I'm here, I won't let you be bullied."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if there was a tacit understanding between them. However, they did not expect that this little episode was just the beginning of a series of troubles.
Although the gangster was driven away by Chen Xu, he did not give up. He held a grudge and decided to find an opportunity to retaliate against Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin. So, in the following days, the gangster gathered a group of accomplices and wandered around the military camp, looking for opportunities to start.
Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin also noticed something was wrong. They found that no matter where they went, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at them in secret. This made the two of them feel very uneasy, so they decided to be more vigilant just in case.
Finally one day, the gangster and his accomplices found a chance to start. That evening, Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin were walking near the military camp as usual, but were suddenly surrounded by a group of people. The leader was the gangster who was driven away by Chen Xu that day. He was full of vicious faces and was holding an iron stick in his hand.
"You are finally here." Chen Xu looked at the gangster coldly, revealing a hint of disdain in his tone, "I knew you wouldn't give up."
The gangster snorted and waved the iron stick in his hand: "Today is your death! I will make you pay the price if you dare to offend me!"
As he said that, he waved the iron rod and smashed it at Chen Xu. Chen Xu flashed, easily dodged the attack, and then quickly counterattacked, hitting the gangster's face with a punch. The gangster screamed and fell to the ground. Seeing this, his accomplices stepped forward to siege Chen Xu.
However, Chen Xu was not afraid at all. With his extraordinary skills and keen insight, he traveled freely among the crowd, and accurately hit the opponent's vital points with every move. Soon, the gangster and his accomplices were beaten to pieces and fled in scatters.
Ye Cunxin looked at Chen Xu's heroic figure, and her heart was full of admiration and gratitude. She knew that if Chen Xu had not been by my side to protect her today, the consequences would be unimaginable. She walked to Chen Xu and held his hand tightly: "Thank you, Chen Xu. You always appear when I need it most."

The two people's eyes met, as if an invisible force was conveyed between them.
The next morning, the sound of soldiers training in order in the playground of the Third Company was still ringing. Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps broke the harmonious atmosphere. Several officials from the Military Law Department looked serious and walked straight to the Third Company Commander's office.
Chen Xu was sorting out documents in the office at this time. When he heard the movement outside, he looked up and his heart suddenly sank. He naturally knew the people from the Military Law Office, and their arrival often meant a lot of trouble.
"Company Commander Chen, please come with us." Among the officials of the Military Law Department, a leader spoke coldly, without any emotion in his tone.
Chen Xu put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and tried to remain calm: "Is there anything wrong? I am now dealing with official duties."
"Official affairs?" The leading official sneered, "Your official affairs may be temporarily put on. Did you beat a gangster after the concert yesterday?"
Chen Xu felt nervous when he heard this. He didn't expect that yesterday's incident would reach the Military Law Office so soon. He nodded and admitted frankly: "Yes, I did beat a gangster yesterday because he harassed Ye Cunxin."
"Do you know that the little gangster died last night?" The leading official looked like a raging look and stared at Chen Xu's eyes.
Chen Xu was stunned when he heard this. He had no idea that his punch would cause such serious consequences. He shook his head, his tone full of incredible feelings: "Die? How is this possible? I just punched him gently."
"A light punch?" the leading official snorted, "As far as we know, your punch is not light. Moreover, the deceased only had the scars of your punch on his body. You are now our biggest suspect."
As he said that, he waved his hand, and several officials behind him immediately stepped forward and surrounded Chen Xu. Chen Xu knew that nothing he said now would be futile, so he could only cooperate with the investigation of the Military Law Department first. He took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."
When the soldiers of the Third Company saw this scene, they stopped training and whispered. They all knew that Company Commander Chen was a good person and took good care of everyone. Now, seeing him being taken away by the Military Law Department, they were filled with worries.
At this time, Ye Cunxin also learned the news. She hurried to the Third Company, but only saw Chen Xu's back being taken away. Her heart tightened and she immediately turned around and ran towards the Military Law Office.
In the Military Law Department, Chen Xu was arranged to be an interrogation room. The lights in the interrogation room were dim and a depressing atmosphere was filled with the air. Chen Xu sat opposite the table, facing the leading official and a recorder.
"Name, age, position, say it again." The leading official spoke coldly and began the interrogation.
Although Chen Xu was dissatisfied, he still answered one by one according to the requirements. He knew that at this time, any disagreement could cause him to fall into a deeper dilemma.
However, as the interrogation deepened, Chen Xu gradually discovered that the Military Law Department seemed to have regarded him as the murderer. Their questions became more and more sharp and their tone became more and more severe. Although Chen Xu tried his best to explain, the other party seemed to not believe his words.
At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open. Ye Cunxin hurriedly walked in, her face full of worry: "Chen Xu, are you okay?"
The leading official frowned when he saw Ye Cunxin: "Who are you? The interrogation is underway, and the idle people are not allowed to enter."
Ye Cunxin was not afraid at all. She straightened her back and said loudly: "I am Ye Cunxin of the Women's Special Forces Team and one of the parties involved in yesterday's incident. I can prove that Chen Xu did not kill anyone."
The leading official heard this and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman would dare to stand up and speak for Chen Xu at this time. He waved his hand and signaled the recorder to stop the record first: "You said you can prove it? Then tell me, what happened yesterday?"
Ye Cunxin took a deep breath and began to recall yesterday's scene. She described the whole process of encountering gangsters after the concert, Chen Xu rescued them, and the gangsters escaped. Finally, she looked firmly at the leading official: "I can say with certainty that Chen Xu did not hit the gangster heavily. There must be another reason for his death."
The leading official was silent for a moment after listening to Ye Cunxin's narrative. He looked at Chen Xu, then at Ye Cunxin, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes. He knew that this case was not simple, and the two people in front of him seemed not so easy to deal with.
"Okay, we will continue to investigate." The leading official finally spoke. Although his tone was still cold, it was a little more relaxed. "Before the investigation results came out, Chen Xu, you can't leave the Military Law Office for the time being. Ye Cunxin, thank you for your cooperation."
After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled the others to leave the interrogation room. Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin looked at each other and saw firmness and trust in each other's eyes. They knew that the days ahead might be difficult, but as long as they worked together, they would definitely be able to overcome them.
When Qin Yuan learned that Chen Xu was taken away by the Military Law Department, he was sweating profusely on the training ground. After a moment of dazed, he quickly grabbed the towel next to him, wiped off the sweat from his face, and frowned.
"How could this happen?" He said to himself, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. Qin Yuan and Chen Xu had a deep friendship, so naturally he didn't believe that Chen Xu would do something to kill.
He quickly put on his clothes, strode out of the training ground, and headed straight for the military law office. Along the way, his mind kept echoing the conversation with Chen Xu after yesterday's concert, trying to find any possible clues.
When he arrived at the Military Law Office, Qin Yuan did not hesitate and directly found the official in charge of the case.
"I am Qin Yuan. I heard that Chen Xu was taken away by you. I want to know the specific situation." Qin Yuan's tone was firm, and his eyes revealed unquestionable determination.
The officers of the Military Law Department looked up at Qin Yuan, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He obviously did not expect that someone would stand up and speak for Chen Xu at this time.
"Qin Yuan? What are you here for? This is the Military Law Office, not a place you can come as long as you want." The official's tone was a little unhappy.
Qin Yuan did not retreat at all. He straightened his back and said loudly: "I know this is the Military Law Department, and I also know that you are investigating Chen Xu's case. But what I want to say is that Chen Xu is my friend, and I believe he cannot kill people. I am willing to help investigate this case and find out the truth."
When the official heard this, he frowned. He obviously did not expect Qin Yuan to make such a request. He was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.
"You help investigate? Why do you think you can find the truth?" The official's tone was filled with a hint of mockery.
