Jiang Conghe, a chief from Yanjing, had been dispatched to the locale, and regardless of the reason, the local military district had to take some action. Moreover, as the family of a chief was assaulted, it was inevitable that personal responsibility must be pursued. Otherwise, how could one save face?
As a result, Qi Taiguo was summoned by Commissar Tan for a reprimand.
"The assailants are your mother and mother-in-law. As their son, it's your duty to educate them properly. You cannot abet the abuser. We live in a society with laws, and such wanton fighting has to be reported to the public security for filing a case. Considering your family's special circumstances, you should go and offer an apology to Commander Chiang. I will mediate on your behalf as well, and we can consider the matter settled," said Commissar Tan as he looked at Qi Taiguo.
Qi Taiguo furrowed his brow and pursed his lips.
Apologize? He hadn't even settled his accounts with them yet. Why should he apologize?
