I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

At the entrance of the special operations squadron, the atmosphere was so tense it could be carved out into a three-bedroom apartment.

Lin Jianfeng's professional fake smile was almost impossible to maintain.

He had just been hoping that Zheng Tao could catch up with this Inspector Wu, get on his good side, and hopefully suppress the matter of the Apple phone in the First Brigade and not let it get to the garrison area.

After all, this year's selection of advanced detachment is just one step away. If they are reported for violating confidentiality rules, then all the efforts of the past six months will be in vain.

But to everyone's surprise, Zheng Tao stood there motionless, as if his pressure points had been frozen, staring intently at Wu Hanfeng as if he had seen a ghost, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

"Zheng Tao! What are you daydreaming about?"

Lin Jianfeng turned to the side, lowered his voice, and said with undisguised annoyance, "Comrade Wu is talking to you! Where did that eloquent air you usually have on the training field go? Hurry up and greet him!"

Shen Yan also gently nudged Zheng Tao's arm and winked at him:

Hurry up, don't let us down. Whether we can keep our advanced unit depends on your connections.

In their view, Wu Hanfeng kept mentioning "old acquaintance Zheng Tao" all the way, praising him from the office building to the brigade, saying "Comrade Zheng Tao said your brigade has a good work style" repeatedly, so the relationship between the two must be unusual.

If Zheng Tao were to plead for leniency, this violation could most likely be resolved internally.

But to their utter surprise, Zheng Tao swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing, and after a long pause, he finally managed to utter:

"Reporting to the squad leader... I... we're not familiar with each other."

"What?"

Lin Jianfeng thought he had misheard, and frowned. "Not familiar? Comrade Wu has been saying all the way here that it was you who strongly recommended our detachment for its excellent work style, which is why he came here specifically to learn from us. And you're telling me we're not familiar?"

"Zheng Tao, don't throw a tantrum right now." Shen Yan frowned as well. "We can talk about personal grudges later. Business is more important."

Both of them assumed that Zheng Tao had some minor conflict with Wu Hanfeng and was deliberately pretending not to know him.

But the next second, Zheng Tao suddenly raised his head, pointed at Wu Hanfeng, and questioned him with disbelief and a hint of bravado:

"Aren't you that army soldier from this afternoon?!"

"You were wearing civilian clothes this afternoon, how come you've suddenly become a military police officer?"

"You're not an imposter, are you? Did you come here on purpose dressed like this to get revenge on us?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

The wind swirled fallen leaves past my feet, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Lin Jianfeng's smile froze completely, his mouth slightly agape.

Shen Yan's hand, which was pushing up his glasses, froze in mid-air, his face filled with disbelief.

Zhang Kai's brain has completely shut down.

What?

Impersonation?

revenge?

Didn't we agree that this was a distinguished guest invited by Deputy Captain Zheng of the Special Operations Squadron, and that he was here to set an example for the garrison district leaders?

How did it turn into enemies coming to seek revenge?

Everyone was stunned, turning their gazes to Zheng Tao, and then to Wu Hanfeng.

Lin Jianfeng felt a bit confused. He looked at Wu Hanfeng's crisp police uniform and the red stamp on his badge, then at Zheng Tao's indignant expression, his face full of questions.

"Zheng Tao, explain yourself clearly! What impersonation? What revenge? What exactly happened?"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Wang Rui quickly stepped forward and approached Lin Jianfeng and Shen Yan, pouring out everything that had happened on Kangzhuang Avenue that afternoon.

Qian Kun's heavy accent when reporting to the police caused him to mispronounce "picking up a child" as "kidnapping a child," which attracted the attention of special police and armed police from across the city.

In the end, after the misunderstanding was cleared up, Zheng Tao, being sarcastic, complained that the army company was poorly managed, the company commander and regimental commander were incompetent at leading troops, and the leadership was crooked and the subordinates were crooked.

They angered the leading sergeant, whose expression immediately turned sour, and he turned and left.

"...I thought they were just going to let it go, but who knew they were actually military police! They even showed up at our door in their uniforms!"

Wang Rui spoke quickly and urgently, explaining the whole story clearly in just a few words.

Lin Jianfeng and Shen Yan stood there, their faces turning pale, then blue, then purple as they listened.

After Wang Rui finished speaking, there was another eerie silence in the room.

Lin Jianfeng stood there, feeling a buzzing sound coming from the top of his head.

He was just praising Zheng Tao to the political commissar in the office, saying that although this kid is loud and boisterous, he is really good at external coordination and quietly helped the detachment get recognized for outstanding performance. He is a promising talent.

After all that, it turns out he didn't invite a god of wealth, but rather an enemy!

Setting a good example? Seeking guidance and learning from others?

So they came here with an imperial sword, specifically to settle scores!

No wonder they investigated a whole brigade from the government building, uncovering every problem in every nook and cranny. They even noted down things like toothbrush cup labels being crooked three degrees and luncheon meat being two days past its expiration date. They could even find instant noodles in fire hydrants.

He initially thought the person was just meticulous and responsible in their work, but now he realizes—

This isn't being responsible; this is harboring hatred. It would be strange if they didn't dig up your entire fortune!

"puff……"

Shen Yan burst out laughing on the spot.

He turned to look at Lin Jianfeng, who looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

You were just praising Zheng Tao for his competence and saying you'd give him credit.

Is everything alright now?

There were no merits, but a lot of faults.

With that mouth of his, he's almost ruined the advanced detachment with his words.

Standing behind, Zhang Kai finally had all his doubts resolved.

No wonder they seem so amiable, always saying "it's a small problem" and "it's no big deal," yet they're incredibly accurate when it comes to taking action, keeping detailed notes on every single issue.

So the roots are right here!

They're here to get revenge for the shouting and cursing they did this afternoon!

He glanced back at the large group of cadres following behind him. Several of them looked as if they had swallowed flies, clearly having understood what he was saying.

After all that, it turns out that their entire brigade was thoroughly investigated, all because of Deputy Captain Zheng's loose tongue!

It's such a misunderstanding, such a terrible injustice!

She was even more wronged than Dou E!

Zheng Tao, his neck stiff and looking defiant, stared at Wu Hanfeng and said, "Am I wrong? You were clearly in civilian clothes this afternoon, you were an army soldier! You deliberately didn't reveal your identity, were you just waiting to set me up now?"

Wu Hanfeng smiled.

He slowly put the military police badge back into his jacket pocket, his eyes crinkling under his silver helmet. He looked harmless, but what he said almost made Zheng Tao faint with anger.

"Deputy Captain Zheng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"I am a part-time military police officer in the garrison area. In the afternoon, I am on patrol and wearing civilian clothes as required. It is reasonable and in compliance with regulations."

"Besides, I didn't force you to curse our company or our regimental commander, did I?"

"This afternoon you said our regiment has poor discipline, that the company commander and regimental commander don't know how to lead troops, and that the upper and lower ranks are crooked. I've felt really guilty about that, and I think we really haven't done a good enough job."

"So I took this opportunity during my duty to come and learn from the Tiger Detachment—the model of conduct that Deputy Captain Zheng mentioned—and learn from their advanced experience."

"With Deputy Captain Zheng praising his own unit so highly, the Special Operations Squadron must be absolutely top-notch, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tao's heart skipped a beat, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

Journey to the West?

What a load of rubbish!

This is an attempt to confiscate their property!

He'd heard about the terrible state of the First Battalion; they could even pull snail rice noodles out of the cracks in the bed boards. If this were to be traced back to the Special Operations Squadron...

There will be another chapter later.
