I put you in charge of those rebellious female soldiers, how come they all became top special forces

The brigade commander's office door was tightly closed, but even the best soundproofing couldn't block out the roaring sounds coming from inside.

"I'm not satisfied! Brigade Commander, you have to give me an explanation for this!"

In the office, Zhao Lei, the company commander of the Fierce Tiger Special Forces Company, had bulging veins on his neck, and his dark face turned a deep liver color.

"Commander An, our Tiger Company has been lying in wait in the forest for three days and three nights to capture that armed bandit!"

"One of my elite soldiers once wore out two pairs of combat boots chasing a desperate criminal! His soles were covered in blisters, which he popped, bandaged, and kept running! In the end, he only received a third-class collective commendation!"

"That honor was earned with one's life!"

At this point, Zhao Lei suddenly took a deep breath.

"But what about Chen Zheng?"

"He just takes a woman out for a day, and comes back with a big red flower symbolizing a second-class commendation?"

"Why? Just because he's someone you value, or because..."

Zhao Lei gritted his teeth, not really wanting to bring up that sensitive reason, but in the end, fueled by anger, he blurted it out.

"Or is it because he brought An Ran, your daughter?"

An Jianjun, sitting behind his desk, was at his wit's end.

He rubbed his throbbing temples, looking at his beloved general who was speaking out for his subordinate, but he couldn't explain it.

Chen Zheng's actions involved scandals in other units and even implicated a major anti-corruption case at the military level.

This kind of thing is highly confidential. Not to mention Zhao Lei, even a regimental-level cadre cannot know a single word without authorization.

"Zhao Lei! Watch your words!"

An Jianjun replied sternly, "What daughter? In the army, there are only soldiers and commanders!"

"Comrade Chen Zheng's mission this time is special and involves classified information, so I cannot disclose the specific details to you."

"But he received this second-level commendation with special approval from the military region leaders; it's in accordance with procedure!"

"confidential?"

Zhao Lei sneered, clearly not taking those words seriously.

"What secret can be handled in just one day?"

"Brigade Commander, if you want to protect him, just say so. You don't need to use such a big accusation to pressure me."

Zhao Lei slammed his hat on the table and said stiffly:

"I, Zhao Lei, am a rough man; I don't understand your complicated ways."

"But I feel disheartened for my brothers! They shed blood and sweat, and yet others get their rewards less quickly than those who use connections!"

"This is an insult to us rank-and-file combat personnel!"

"How dare you!" An Jianjun was also provoked and stood up abruptly.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, and the atmosphere in the office reached a tense peak.

The office door was pushed open.

Backlit, the first thing Zhao Lei saw wasn't the person's face, but the glaring red patch on his chest.

The large red flower trembled slightly with his steps, and the five-pointed star on it was quite eye-catching, even a bit glaring.

Chen Zheng, still holding his thermos, ignored Zhao Lei's murderous glare and slowly walked to the water dispenser to fill himself a cup of hot water.

"You could hear Company Commander Zhao shouting his innocence from a great distance; anyone who didn't know better would think he was Dou E (a legendary figure known for her tragic love story)."

Upon seeing the person in question arrive, Zhao Lei's temper flared instantly.

Seeing Chen Zheng's nonchalant demeanor and the conspicuous red flower, Zhao Lei felt a surge of excitement rush to his head.

"Chen Zheng!"

Zhao Lei shouted and strode up to Chen Zheng.

"You've come at the perfect time!"

"Then tell me, what did you do to earn this second-level commendation?"

"Were they fighting the enemy? Or were they providing disaster relief?"

Chen Zheng blew on the steam rising from the cup without even lifting his eyelids.

"No comment."

"you!"

Zhao Lei could no longer hold back.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Zheng by the collar.

"Don't try to act all high and mighty with me!"

"Zhao Lei! What are you trying to do! Let go of me!" An Jianjun, who was behind him, changed his expression and quickly shouted to stop him.

If this were to start a fight in the office, it would be a serious violation of discipline.

But Zhao Lei's eyes were already red with anger, and he couldn't listen to anything.

He stared at Chen Zheng, gritting his teeth as he said:

"Chen Zheng, if you're a man, don't hide behind a woman."

"What makes you think you deserve this red flower? What gives you the right to have this seal?"

"Do you believe I'll rip it off and shove it in your mouth?!"

Chen Zheng's eyes, which always held a hint of a smile, suddenly turned cold at this moment.

"Let go."

Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to hold on tighter.

But next second.

Chen Zheng placed two fingers on a vein on Zhao Lei's wrist and pressed down sharply.

"Hiss~"

Zhao Lei felt a tingling numbness in his wrist, and his entire arm instantly lost its strength, causing him to let go.

Chen Zheng patted his collar, straightened the big red flower on his chest, and looked directly into Zhao Lei's eyes.

"You ask me why?"

Chen Zheng took a step forward, and his originally somewhat thin frame now exuded an astonishing aura.

"Not based on relationships, not based on women."

"Just because..."

"I am stronger than you."

This sentence caused the office to fall silent instantly.

Zhao Lei was completely stunned.

Better than me?

How dare a clerical worker from an agency point his finger at someone and say he's stronger than the top male fighter in the entire brigade?

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Lei laughed angrily, "Fine! So you think you're better than me!"

He rubbed his numb wrist, his anger turning into fighting spirit.

"Chen Zheng, if you're a man, then you should live up to what you said!"

"Stop just talking the talk!"

Zhao Lei suddenly waved his hand, pointing to the training ground outside the window.

"Since you think you can do it, let's practice!"

"Fighting, off-roading, shooting—the choice is yours!"

"Right in front of the entire brigade, in front of everyone!"

"If I lose, I, Zhao Lei, will salute you every time I see you from now on, admitting I was blind!"

"But if you lose..."

Zhao Lei pointed to the big red flower on Chen Zheng's chest.

"Take this off in public! Return it to the brigade headquarters!"

"Do you dare to accept it?!"

The office was completely silent.

An Jianjun stood behind, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

He wanted to speak up and stop him.

Although the improvements made to Mulan during this period show that Chen Zheng has some tricks up his sleeve.

But Zhao Lei was the runner-up in the entire military region's fighting competition.

If a fight really broke out, An Jianjun was a little unsure about Chen Zheng's small frame.

However, before the brigade commander could speak, Chen Zheng smiled.

There was no further response, just one word.

"it is good."

Their eyes met in mid-air, and the atmosphere instantly became even more tense.

An Jianjun looked at this scene, opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed back the words of dissuasion.

He looked at Chen Zheng's tall and straight back, his eyes flickering.

This kid is so confident. Has he been hiding his true abilities all these years?

"That's interesting..."

An Jianjun sat back down in his chair, picked up his teacup, and a hint of anticipation flashed in the depths of his eyes.
