I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

The ticket was quickly filled with entries.

The veterans, still wanting more, tried to pull another bill from He Dong's pocket, only to find it was empty.

While stopping them, He Dong shouted anxiously, "Each of you only needs to write one page, don't write too many, and don't write duplicates..."

"Comrade, you're being a bit unprofessional. How come you only have so few tickets? Not even enough to fill out a book!"

He Dong: "..."

How was I supposed to know that I usually struggle to correct one or two, but today I was able to correct dozens?

This is my monthly target; I can't even imagine it.

"Comrade, don't worry, let's write it on another A4 sheet of paper, and you can copy it yourself when you get back, okay?"

Other veterans immediately responded.

"Yes, yes, we wrote it all on one A4 sheet of paper."

He Dong was shocked once again.

How could he possibly encounter something so bizarre?

A group of seasoned veterans were actually vying to write traffic tickets?

This would be considered an unconventional existence in any dynasty.

Immediately, his gaze toward Wu Hanfeng became even more admiring.

When the disciplinary inspectors have such influence, it's truly unprecedented and unparalleled.

Zhao Yuchong and Wu Hanfeng said, "Old Wu, we've been through so much in the army for so many years, do you really need to take the blame for this little thing? You're underestimating us."

"Besides, do you think we'll feel better just because you're taking the blame for us? The thought of you huddled in bed writing five thousand words alone keeps us awake at night with nightmares."

Wu Hanfeng was about to explain when Zhao Yu interrupted him again.

"Alright, alright, don't be so polite with us. We'll take care of this little thing for you. If your captain gives you any trouble when you get back, just let us know."

"We veterans from the Third Company were the first to rush over! We wouldn't cause trouble, we wouldn't fight, we'd just stand downstairs and intimidate him!"

"Let him know that Wu Hanfeng has powerful connections!"

Wu Hanfeng was so moved that he almost cried.

He reached up and touched his eyes, and finding no tears, he could only choke back sobs: "Old Zhao, you're still as damn naive as ever."

"Of course, would I have been your brother for seven years if I weren't so simple-minded?"

A few minutes later.

He Dong stared at the thick stack of traffic tickets in his hand, still reeling.

Wu Hanfeng sighed.

It was truly an unexpected stroke of luck.

He was originally prepared to take the blame for the three companies, but then this happened.

Fortunately, it was just a verbal reprimand; they didn't even have to write a written self-criticism.

He was relieved that it wouldn't affect anyone's promotion or awards.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to face these good brothers.

Wu Hanfeng looked up and saw that everyone was still racking their brains to figure out if they had done anything else wrong.

Wu Hanfeng quickly lowered his head, not daring to linger.

I was afraid that I might burst into tears.

"Thank you all for your hard work. It's getting late, so we should head back now."

Zhao Yu immediately said anxiously, "Leaving already? The cooks still have your nourishing soup and braised pork!"

"Please thank Lao Zhou for me. I'll have to drink it another day."

Everyone stared intently at Wu Hanfeng, and only he could understand the reluctance in their eyes.

Wu Hanfeng said helplessly, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm definitely not leaving this time. I'll stay in the disciplinary team and come back to visit whenever I have time."

"Okay, squad leader, I'll remember your words. You can't go back on your word."

"Don't worry, I mean what I say. I'm off!"

As soon as the two reached the bottom of the stairs, they suddenly heard a powerful singing voice coming from the stairwell.

"Sending off my comrades-in-arms on their journey."

"Silently, tears welled up in my eyes... The sound of camel bells echoed in my ears..."

Wu Hanfeng's legs buckled, and he almost fell down the steps.

He turned around and said speechlessly, "Get lost! I'm not a retired soldier, what kind of song are you singing!"

Zhao Yu laughed heartily and said, "I'm used to it. We sing every time you leave. We can't bear to see your back."

But as soon as his voice ended, the singing started again.

Wu Hanfeng's body was numb on one side.

He turned to look at He Dong.

The expression on their faces when they discovered this thing can only be described as astonished.

He explained awkwardly, "Actually, they're usually quite normal. They were probably just too excited today and couldn't control themselves."

He Dong nodded with a forced smile: "I understand... I understand..."

Until they left the Third Company's barracks.

He Dongcai belatedly realized what was happening.

"Deputy Squad Leader Wu."

"What's wrong?"

"Do the soldiers in your third company... always act like this?"

"What?"

"He voluntarily accepted the penalty and actively wrote the ticket."

"What do you think? Why don't you come and check it yourself next time?"

He Dong waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no."

Wu Hanfeng said with a smile, "Alright, go back and rest now, it's almost lights out."

He Dong hesitated for a moment, then spoke up: "Deputy Squad Leader Wu."

"What's wrong now?"

"Do you really speak the truth?"

Wu Hanfeng paused, turned around, and said sincerely, "He Dong, everything I said is true."

"I do feel guilty for them, and I did stop them."

"If you hadn't said later that it wouldn't affect them, I would have accepted the scolding and written self-criticisms even if I went back home. I would never have accepted these tickets."

Looking at Wu Hanfeng's face, He Dong exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Captain Wu, you are truly the best person I have ever met at doing ideological work."

"Compared to you, even the political commissar pales in comparison."

The two walked back in silence.

Wu Hanfeng suddenly asked, "He Dong."

"arrive!"

"I'm curious, are the performance records of discipline officers higher than those of discipline soldiers?"

He Dong: "That's for sure! One officer is worth several soldiers!"

"In our disciplinary team's evaluation system, you get extra points for catching a leader!"

"If we can capture footage of battalion-level or higher targets, we won't have to worry about meeting our monthly quota!"

He explained for a long time, then suddenly realized what was going on.

His expression changed. "Deputy Squad Leader Wu, you're not planning to go and cause trouble for the officers in the headquarters, are you?"

Wu Hanfeng looked at the government office building and smiled slightly.

"We can't just work for nothing today, can we? Now that we're here, how can we explain to the captain if we don't bring back some spoils? What do you think?"

He Dong hesitated, "Don't we... already have a lot of tickets?"

"Moreover, the networks of relationships behind government officials are very complex!"

He said anxiously, "The regimental commander is in that building too. What if you run into him?"

"What's wrong?"

Wu Hanfeng said dismissively, "The regimental commander just told me to do a good job in the disciplinary squad, didn't he? Aren't I doing my job well?"

"You just said that getting to the bottom of a cadre is a big job."

Wu Hanfeng looked towards the government building.

"Tell me, who has the most important job?"

He Dong felt a chill run down his spine: "Regimental...Regimental Commander?!"
