Chapter 70
The moment Feng Zhen arrived in the courtyard of the cookhouse, he shouted, “Ye Tianming! Ye Tianming!!!”
Xu Guoliang quickly ran out, “Company Commander! For you to arrive in such glory, what instructors do you have?”
Feng Zhen glared at him and said, “Where did Ye Tianming hide? That s.h.i.+tty brat actually dared to not report in with me after returning, is he trying to revolt?”
“Company Commander! Ye Tianming came back, but I didn’t see him. Tan Chao said that the people from the headquarters took him away again.”
Feng Zhen immediately got worked up, “What? Took him away again? That brat just causes f.u.c.king trouble for me all the time.”
Feng Zhen immediately turned around without stopping, with the First Squad Leader following behind him in confusion. From what he remembered, the Company Commander has only gotten worked up like this once before. That was two years ago for a soldier named w.a.n.g Feng in the third squad. When he came back after holidays, he saw a delinquent hara.s.sing a girl, so he heavily injured the delinquent. What he didn’t expect was that the guy that was beaten was very influential, and could actually affect the military. w.a.n.g Feng nearly got sent to the court martial, it was only because the Company Commander doing all he could that w.a.n.g Feng didn’t get sent there. However, he was still forcefully kicked out of the military. Back then, the entire company all went to send him off. He could still remember that w.a.n.g Feng had gave the Company Commander a salute before getting in the car. He could still clearly remember the Company Commander’s words that he said as he patted w.a.n.g Feng’s shoulders, “Brat, you are my soldier. Even if you only stayed for one day in the military, you are still a soldier. No matter where you are, you have to stand straight. Even though I don’t agree with settling everything with your first, I support you on this. This is because you would only count as a man like this.” It was because of this that the Company Commander had ended up giving his chance to study at the military academy to someone else. Otherwise, the Company Commander should be a battalion commander by now.
Thinking that, the First Squad Leader felt a sense of warmth in his heart. Although the Company Commander was very strict normally, he treated his soldiers like his real brothers.
Meanwhile, Feng Zhen thought to himself while he walked, despite Ye Tianming not having transferred over for long, and was a bit rascal-like, from Feng Zhen’s observations, Ye Tianming definitely wouldn’t do something like sell detonators. When he heard from the officials that he’d beat up Yang Chentian, he didn’t give the guy a serious beating, and only caused external injuries, so Feng Zhen didn’t pay much attention to it, since he should be let go after a maximum confinement for a few days. Yet, hearing that he was taken away by the headquarters, Feng Zhen recalled that Yang Chentian had a powerful background. That was why he got worked up and rushed towards the headquarters.
At this moment, he heard someone shout behind him, “Company Commander, where are you going?”
Feng Zhen turned his head back and saw Xu Guoliang’s chubby body run over with his face covered in sweat, “I’m going to the headquarters to see what exactly is going on. If Ye Tianming was framed, then I’m not going to be f.u.c.king done with Yang Chentian.”
“Company Commander, I’m going as well.”
Feng Zhen glared, “What are you coming for, go back!!!”
Xu Guoliang wiped away the sweat on his face, “Company Commander, Ye Tianming is a soldier of the cookhouse, why can’t I go? What’s more, an extra person is an extra portion of power, right?”
When the three of them arrived outside Chen Zhonghua’s office, Feng Zhen took a deep breath. Just as he wanted to say that he was reporting in, he heard someone behind him say, “What are you three here for? Why are you acting so suspiciously?”
When he turned his head back, Feng Zhen saw the First Squad Leader and Xu Guoliang stand stark straight; when he looked up, he saw a general smiling at him. He was far too familiar with this person, it was the military region’s commissar, Long Zhengliang.
Feng Zhen saluted, “Report, Chief, I am the sixth company’s company commander, Feng Zhen.”
“Oh? You’re Feng Zhen? I heard your name before, you came for that brat, Ye Tianming, right?”
