I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

"Yes..." Zhao Yihang nodded.

"Damn it!" Zhao Yu, standing next to Zhou Haibo, frowned. "Is this guy crazy? That's the Armed Police Special Forces Brigade! Not our regimental disciplinary squad! Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he's wearing a military police uniform?"

The veterans in the team all looked increasingly grim.

They had all been through thick and thin with Wu Hanfeng, and they knew his personality all too well.

Normally, he might act tough or argue with the company or battalion commanders, but that's just for fun within the company. When he's out in the open, he's fiercely protective of his own.

Even protecting one's own can be done in different situations!

What kind of place is the Armed Police Special Forces?

They were known throughout the military region as tough guys; individual combat and close-quarters fighting were commonplace for them, and the soldiers there were all incredibly skilled and hot-tempered.

Wu Hanfeng went there alone to cause trouble. This is not called reasoning with people. This is called asking for a beating!

"It's all over, it's all over." Liu Yang said anxiously, "That guy surnamed Zheng was already full of anger, and Wu Hanfeng even offered himself up."

"If they really get serious and detain them, then we'll have no recourse!"

"Even though they have the status of military police, if things really escalate, they'll definitely be the ones who suffer!"

Chen Zhiyuan's expression changed repeatedly.

He was frowning, wanting to scold Wu Hanfeng for causing trouble again, but when he heard that Wu Hanfeng had gone back to demand an explanation because someone had insulted him and the regimental commander, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

This kid...

He always goes against him, secretly taking away his snacks and arguing with him, which makes him so angry that he has considered throwing this guy into the logistics department to feed the pigs several times.

But when it came to outsiders, the first person to stand up for him was this brat.

Chen Zhiyuan's nose stung, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he almost burst into tears in Zhou Haibo's arms.

He quickly turned his face away, secretly wiping the corner of his eye, and when he turned back, his face was serious.

"What are you yelling about! What's all the panic about!"

"Even if Wu Hanfeng is a troublemaker, he still knows his limits. But the Armed Police detachment is definitely not a place where we can act recklessly. This matter must be reported!"

He turned to his instructor, Wang Tao, and said, "Old Wang, come with me to the regimental headquarters! We must tell the regimental commander and political commissar about this immediately; if we delay, something bad might really happen!"

Wang Tao knew the gravity of the situation and immediately nodded: "Let's go! Hurry up! If a conflict breaks out, even if we're in the right, we'll be in the wrong."

The two rushed to the regimental headquarters, not even bothering to eat dinner.

…………

After the two left, the group became even more lively.

Zhou Haibo walked up to Qian Kun in a few steps, pointed a finger at his forehead, and said with a mix of anger and helplessness, "You little rascal! You made such a fuss just by going out!"

"Wu Hanfeng kicked you two out of the car, didn't you know to follow? Did you just let them walk into a wolf's den?"

Qian Kun lowered his head: "Brother Feng wouldn't let us go, saying we'd only cause trouble... Squad leader, it's all my fault. If I hadn't slipped my tongue, none of this would have happened."

"It's no use blaming you now, things have already happened." Zhou Haibo sighed, his tone softening. "But then again, Wu Hanfeng's reaction is understandable."

He glanced around at the new and veteran recruits who had gathered there, and said in a serious tone, "Remember this, what's most important for a soldier?"

"It's not about how much personal skill you have, how fast you can run, or how many punches you can throw; it's about a sense of honor."

"When we get to the battlefield and face the enemy, what we must uphold is the honor of our Chinese soldiers and the face of our country."

"When we're with our friendly units, what we need to uphold is the honor of our regiment. We can't let anyone criticize our regiment behind its back."

"In the regiment, what we have to uphold is the honor of the Third Company. We can't let other companies laugh at us."

"In the company, what we need to uphold is the honor of every squad and every brother."

"Personal face is the least valuable thing. But the face of the collective cannot be lost in the slightest."

Zhou Haibo spoke seriously, a stark contrast to his usual joking manner.

Why did Wu Hanfeng insist on going to the Armed Police detachment, knowing full well that they were not to be trifled with?

"It's not that he's idle, nor that he's fond of fighting; it's that Zheng shouldn't have insulted our company or our regimental commander."

"If you insult Wu Hanfeng himself, he can just laugh it off."

"To criticize the Third Company or Commander Li is unacceptable. This isn't about protecting one's own; it's a bottom line."

The veterans around him nodded silently.

Having spent so much time with Wu Hanfeng, how could they not understand this principle?

This guy may seem carefree and nonchalant, but he's actually more shrewd than anyone else.

"Squad Leader Zhou, what do we do now?" Qian Kun looked up, his face anxious. "We can't just stand by and watch Feng and the other guy get hurt over there, can we? Or... should we gather the whole company and go over there to support them?"

"What are you trying to do? Do you think we're going to a brawl?" Zhou Haibo glared at him. "The regimental commander and political commissar will definitely know what they're doing. Let's wait for news."

"If we really need more people, our entire Third Company will go without hesitation!"

"But we can't cause trouble or create chaos within the group."

Despite saying that, Zhou Haibo was still uneasy.

Wu Hanfeng has a personality that makes him incredibly good at causing trouble.

The Armed Police detachment is a legitimate combat unit. If he were to go in dressed as a military police officer and start randomly checking and interrogating people, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.

Don't let it end up with you not only not suffering any loss, but losing all face, and then the regimental commander having to come and get you.

………………

On the other side, Chen Zhiyuan and Wang Tao jogged all the way, panting as they rushed to the regimental headquarters office building.

In the third-floor office of the regimental commander, Li Cuicui and Zhao Long were sitting facing each other on the sofa, drinking tea.

There were two small dishes of pickled vegetables and half a plate of peanuts on the table. The two had just finished dinner and were chatting while digesting their food, and their conversation still revolved around Wu Hanfeng.

"You know, this kid is getting more and more out of control," Li Cuicui said, blowing on her enamel mug to cool it down, her face full of annoyance.

"I think he did it on purpose, out of personal revenge."

Zhao Long chuckled, holding his teacup. "Alright, alright. Who told you to eat in the office and get caught red-handed? Besides, they're the military police now; investigating you is simply upholding the law."

"Fairness my ass!" Li Cuicui curled her lip. "Do I not know him? He's just like that, always looking for an opportunity to get revenge on me. Wait until this novelty wears off in a couple of days, and then we'll see how I deal with him."

He had barely finished speaking when the office door was slammed open.

Chen Zhiyuan rushed in in a panic, forgetting to even shout, "Regimental Commander! Political Commissar! Something terrible has happened!"

Li Cuicui was startled by him. The teacup in her hand wobbled, and hot tea spilled out, scalding the back of her hand. She frowned and scolded:

"This is endless! When will it ever end?!"

"What's all the panic about? Is the sky falling down?"

"Has Wu Hanfeng gotten into trouble again? Who has he offended this time?"

In Li Cuicui's mind, the worst that Wu Hanfeng could do was punish all the cadres in the regiment by making them write self-criticisms.

But what Chen Zhiyuan said next completely stunned them.

"Commander, Wu Hanfeng... Wu Hanfeng has stormed the Armed Police detachment!"

"puff--"

Li Cuicui spat out the mouthful of hot tea she had just taken a sip of, spraying it all over Zhao Long's face.

Tea leaves stuck to Zhao Long's glasses and trickled down his cheeks.

Zhao Long knocked his teacup onto the coffee table, spilling half of the tea.

"What did you say?!" Li Cuicui jumped up from the sofa. "He stormed the Armed Police detachment? All alone?"

"He only brought He Dong with him!"

Chen Zhiyuan hurriedly recounted the events of the afternoon from beginning to end, from Qian Kun's false alarm when he called the police, to Zheng Tao, the deputy captain of the Armed Police Special Forces, making rude remarks, and then to Wu Hanfeng turning back to the Armed Police Detachment.

"...Zheng Tao not only criticized us for our lax management, but also said that you and the political commissar were incapable of leading troops, and that you've lost your mind."

"Wu Hanfeng couldn't stand it anymore and went back immediately."

Li Cuicui stood there, mouth agape, unable to utter a word for a long time.

He was mentally prepared for what kind of trouble Wu Hanfeng had gotten into this time, but he never expected that this guy would actually barge into the Armed Police Detachment.

Is that a place you can just wander into?!

But when he came to his senses and heard that Wu Hanfeng had stormed over because someone had insulted him, he was stunned for a few seconds. Then his eyes welled up with tears, and the anger in his heart dissipated instantly, replaced by an indescribable warmth.

That brat...

They're always trying to find ways to mess with him.

But once he's outside, he's willing to fight to the death to protect his reputation!
