I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

"Look how scratched the shell is, how can you tell?"

Zhang Kai smiled casually, his fingertips pinching the edge of the phone case. "It's probably just an ordinary domestic phone. The young man likes to look good, so he bought a fake Apple case."

"Young people these days love doing this. My nephew does too. He has an Android phone that costs over a thousand yuan, but he puts a case on it and makes it look like the latest model."

As he spoke, he winked at Chen Mo, meaning: Quickly go along with it and say that the shell looks like it!

Chen Mo stood in the line with his eyes closed, unable to receive his signal, motionless like a statue.

Wu Hanfeng didn't expose him, and said with a half-smile, "Really? Maybe I saw it wrong? Why don't you check it, Staff Officer Zhang? If it's really a domestically produced machine, then I made a mistake, and I'll apologize to this comrade later."

"No need to apologize, it's just a misunderstanding, it's normal." Zhang Kai quickly waved his hand, secretly relieved.

Turn it on and take a look. If it's really an Android phone, it might be able to make up for some of the embarrassment I just lost.

He held the phone, his fingertips pressed on the power button on the side.

The second it pressed, Zhang Kai was still silently praying:

It's made in China! It must be made in China! Chen Mo, you better step up your game and don't cause me any trouble!

The screen went black for two seconds and then there was no response.

Zhang Kai was secretly delighted: Could it be that the power is out?

If the power is out, there's no need to turn it on. Just take it away and ask again later. That'll be the end of it.

He was about to say that the power might be out.

But the screen under my fingertip suddenly lit up.

Then, under everyone's gaze, a silver-white logo slowly appeared in the center of the screen—

An apple with a bite taken out of it.

The lines are smooth and the logo is clear, making it particularly eye-catching against the black screen background.

"Click".

Someone's water glass slipped and gently bumped against the edge of the bed.

The entire dormitory was deathly silent.

Zhang Kai's hand froze in mid-air, his eyes fixed on the Apple logo on the screen, the smile on his face gradually solidifying, cracking, and shattering into pieces.

His mind went blank, and only one thought remained:

It’s over.

It's a fucking apple!

It's the kind of system that always displays the logo when you turn it on, so you can't deny it!

Zhou Ming almost died on the spot.

Snail rice noodles, playing cards, scarves, martial arts novels...

What are those compared to this iPhone? They're all just amateurs!

Hiding snacks is at most a matter of poor housekeeping, and playing cards is at most a matter of excessive entertainment during rest time.

Having a mobile phone located overseas is a serious violation of regulations!

At best, it violates mobile phone management regulations; at worst, it could be considered a breach of confidentiality!

Their detachment is a model squadron!

An advanced squadron in grassroots construction for two consecutive years, and a model of good internal affairs that has been specifically praised by the brigade commander!

Today was terrible. First, a bunch of random things were taken from my blanket, and then they even pulled out my iPhone.

If word gets out, where will their First Squadron put their face?

Where do they put their faces?

The soldiers in the team were dumbfounded.

Who would have thought!

Chen Mo, who is usually the most honest, disciplined, and meticulous about housekeeping, actually hid an iPhone!

It was hidden inside the most standard quilt in the entire dormitory!

The most dangerous place is the safest place, right?

Now look what happened! Safety my ass, they just pulled it out right there and then!

Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes, looked at the familiar Apple logo on the screen, and completely gave up struggling.

If the company dies, then so be it.

Anyway, I've already lost all face.

Zhang Kai stared at the logo for a long while before slowly raising his head and turning to Chen Mo in the group:

"Chen Mo... explain yourself to me."

"What... what's going on?"

Chen Mo lowered his head: "Report... It's mine."

"I know it's yours! I'm asking you where it came from!" Zhang Kai angrily pointed at the phone. "You didn't hand it in during the enlistment check? Huh? How did you hide it?"

"When I enlisted... I hid it in a hidden compartment of my suitcase."

Chen Mo's voice trailed off, "This was a gift from my boyfriend after he finished his college entrance exams. It was a commemorative item. I... I couldn't bear to hand it over, so I secretly brought it in."

"I don't dare to take them out normally. I only look at the photos at night under the covers. I never dare to connect to the camp network; I always use mobile data..."

"Not even mobile data!" Zhang Kai's temples throbbed with anger. "Rules are rules! No overseas mobile phones allowed!"

"Do you think regulations and rules are just for show? Hiding them under the covers? I bet you've been a model of housekeeping for too long and think no one will check your blanket, huh?"

"I... I heard the police were coming, and I panicked. I didn't know where to hide, so... I just stuffed it in."

Chen Mo buried his head almost in his chest. "I thought... it was folded so thickly that I wouldn't be able to tell..."

He Dong, standing to the side, almost burst out laughing.

You can't tell if you don't look at it.

Who would have thought that the perfectly folded, model-perfect bed in the whole dorm had an iPhone inside!

Wu Hanfeng took the phone from Zhang Kai's hand, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Not bad, young man, you have some ideas. The most dangerous place is the safest place, that's a good tactical approach."

"If we were in a reconnaissance company, we might even be able to develop their counter-reconnaissance capabilities."

His words sounded like a compliment, but to Chen Mo, they were more hurtful than an insult.

Chen Mo's face turned bright red, and he wished he could disappear into the ground.

Zhang Kai was even more embarrassed.

He was just bragging to someone that the Second Squad was the model of internal affairs in the entire detachment, and that Chen Mo was the third place winner in the brigade's competition. But then someone pulled an iPhone out of the model squad's blanket.

That slap was loud and clear, even more painful than the one from the previous class.

The incident in Class One was at most a minor issue of conduct; a reprimand and a couple of laps as punishment would suffice.

This overseas mobile phone is a matter of principle!

If the garrison district reports this to them, forget about being recognized as an advanced worker at the end of the year; he'll be ranked last in this year's discipline evaluation, and the detachment leader will skin him alive!

"Comrade Wu, look at this..."

Zhang Kai, forcing a smile, tried to salvage the situation: "This was indeed a management oversight on our part. We will definitely deal with it seriously. The phone will be confiscated on the spot, and the person will receive a demerit and a public reprimand throughout the entire brigade. We will absolutely not tolerate this!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely conduct a thorough review, strengthen mobile phone management, and this problem will never happen again."

The others also looked at Wu Hanfeng with pleading expressions.

They knew the seriousness of the matter.

If this gets out, they will definitely be used as a model for the entire military region, and will be used as a target for political education by various detachments of the Armed Police and even the People's Liberation Army!

And their first squadron is definitely going to get a severe beating from the detachment leader!

Not only can Chen Mo not escape, but none of the entire team can escape either!

Every single one of them will face a difficult future!
