Of course, the apology letter punishment was only for the accomplice. They still had not decided on the punishment for the main culprit, Ye Xueli.
It was a huge incident, so Colonel Ye heard about it even though he was not home. He rushed back to the city on the same day. He called his home when his train reached the station. He rushed home after learning that Ye Xueli was home after spending the whole day outside.
When he reached home, Colonel Ye suppressed his anger and knocked on Ye Xueli's door.
He would have kicked the door open if Ye Xueli was not a grown woman.
Ye Xueli knew that she had to face her father's wrath eventually. She knew her father had been away, so she only returned to the army base that day. She had planned to pack up her things and temporarily hide at a family or friend's house.
She would leave matters at the army base for her father. She would only return after everyone had forgotten about it.
