I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

Zheng Tao's face flushed red and then turned pale.

In the afternoon, Wu Hanfeng left him speechless on the roadside. He thought the matter was over and he could just complain to his brothers about how sharp-tongued the army soldiers were.

But to his utter surprise, they turned around and put on the skin of the military police, rightfully wielding the imperial sword to storm his door, and turned the whole team upside down.

Now that everyone's standing at the entrance of the special operations squadron, if we take one more step forward, we can take out everything they've been hiding and expose it to the sun.

The more Zheng Tao thought about it, the angrier and more panicked he became. In a moment of anger, he questioned:

"Wu Hanfeng! Stop pretending!"

"What 'learning from others' or 'routine inspection'? You're clearly just using your position to settle personal scores!"

"I only said a couple of things to you this afternoon, is it really necessary for you to come here dressed like this to cause trouble? Let me tell you, don't go too far! Believe me, I'll call the military district right now and file a complaint against you!"

These words were spoken with such conviction that Zheng Tao himself felt a surge of confidence.

He was calculating in his mind: as long as the accusation of "using public office to settle personal scores" is firmly established, no matter how many problems Wu Hanfeng finds out, it will only be considered revenge for personal reasons and will not be counted!

The detachment commander and political commissar will definitely be on my side then, and I might even be able to turn the tables on him and make this kid regret it.

But as soon as he finished speaking, instead of the scene he had envisioned of everyone being united in their hatred of the enemy, the scene fell silent instantly.

Wang Rui closed his eyes, turned his head away, and sighed, unable to bear looking at him.

Zhang Kai and the several armed police officers behind him looked at each other in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

Lin Jianfeng and Shen Yan stood at the front, their expressions quite remarkable—first astonishment, then speechlessness.

Both of them had only one thought in their minds: "How could I have such a stupid subordinate!"

Pig teammates!

What a terrible teammate!

Wu Hanfeng kept saying that Comrade Zheng Tao recommended him and that he came to learn from his advanced experience, without mentioning the conflict that happened in the afternoon. It was obvious that he was pretending to be ignorant, getting revenge while still claiming that it was a routine inspection.

By jumping out now to claim it's for personal revenge, aren't you just tearing down the facade?

What good will it do to expose it?

Their credentials are genuine, their authority is genuine, but which of the items they found – the snail rice noodles, the playing cards, and the iPhone – is fake?

If things escalate to the garrison area, they can easily dismiss you with a simple statement of normal duty and patrol.

On the contrary, it makes it seem like your Fierce Tiger Detachment is guilty and guilty, and you're trying to shift the blame when problems are discovered.

Forget about being an advanced detachment, they'll be ranked last in this year's conduct evaluation, and the whole brigade will laugh at them!

Lin Jianfeng was so angry that his temples throbbed and he almost ground his teeth to powder.

He now understood that Zheng Tao wasn't there to help him out, but to add fuel to the fire!

Originally, Wu Hanfeng might have finished investigating the First Brigade, vented his anger by uttering a few curses, and the Special Operations Squadron might have just turned a blind eye and let it go.

Now look what's happened! You've pointed out that they're settling a personal score. They'd be doing you a disservice if they didn't skin the special operations squadron alive!

Wu Hanfeng, however, was not angry at all.

He smiled, his eyes beneath the silver helmet curving into two crescent moons.

He slowly raised his hand, patted the military police badge on his chest, and then tugged at his crisp navy blue uniform.

"Deputy Captain Zheng, don't be so quick to label me."

"I'm asking you, do you even know what a military police unit is?"

Zheng Tao was taken aback, then stiffened his neck and said, "I...of course I know! It's just checking military discipline!"

"Oh? So Deputy Captain Zheng knew."

Wu Hanfeng raised an eyebrow and said jokingly, "I thought you didn't know. Since you do, let me ask you—does the authority granted to the military police by the garrison command include inspecting the conduct, discipline, and military bearing of all military and police units stationed in the city?"

"Yes..." Zheng Tao responded subconsciously, but suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"That settles it."

Wu Hanfeng shrugged. "I'm wearing this uniform and carrying proper identification. I'm just following regulations to inspect the conduct of the Armed Police detachment. It's perfectly reasonable, compliant, and my duty. How did it become personal vendetta in Deputy Captain Zheng's mouth?"

"Or is it that, in Deputy Captain Zheng's eyes, the normal performance of duties by the military police is all a personal vendetta against you?"

"Then I'll feel so wronged."

He Dong, standing next to Wu Hanfeng, looked at him with admiration.

That squad leader has such a sharp tongue!

With just a few words, Zheng Tao was put on the hot seat.

Zheng Tao's face turned bright red. He opened his mouth to refute, but found himself speechless.

They were only stating the rules; there wasn't a single fault in what they said.

You can't say that the military police can't inspect our armed police, can you?

If I were to say it out loud, that would be a huge joke.

Seeing that he couldn't speak, Wu Hanfeng continued:

"Besides, Deputy Captain Zheng said I was settling a personal score. What personal score did I settle?"

"Did I accuse you of a crime you didn't commit, or did I fabricate facts about violations?"

"Did I stuff the snail rice noodles into the seams of the first batch of beds? Did I put the iPhones in the blankets of the second batch? Did I force them to hide the instant noodles in the fire hydrant?"

"Which one of these things wasn't hidden by you yourselves? Which one wasn't uncovered through thorough investigation?"

"If Deputy Captain Zheng thinks I've made a mistake in any of my investigations or wronged anyone, you can point it out now. We'll verify it on the spot. If I'm really wrong, I'll apologize to you right now and write a self-criticism to the garrison command. How about that?"

Zheng Tao was speechless, his lips trembling for a long time before he finally managed to stammer, "You...you did this on purpose! You came here specifically for me!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianfeng nearly died on the spot.

You idiot! You still dare to talk back!

So what if they came here specifically for you?

They're in the right!

You insist on tearing down the window paper to show how smart you are, huh?

The way he looks at Zheng Tao now is no different from looking at an idiot.

Shen Yan adjusted his glasses and turned his face slightly away, unable to bear looking at him.

The deputy captain of a special operations squadron was completely rendered illogical by a young sergeant's few words, and could only throw a tantrum and shout "You did it on purpose!" How embarrassing!

Wu Hanfeng was amused by this guy's stupidity.

"Deputy Captain Zheng, that's not very interesting. As a member of the military police, why would I abandon my duties to come specifically for you? Don't you think too highly of yourself?"

"Besides, if I really wanted to target you, I should have checked your dorm room first, then your locker, and even found out how many packets of beef jerky you had hidden in your tactical vest."

"I'm speaking to you politely now out of respect for the Fierce Tiger Detachment and for Detachment Leader Lin. Deputy Captain Zheng insists on patting himself on the back, saying I'm settling personal scores..."

He paused, then smiled slightly: "If that's what you insist on thinking, wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage if I didn't actually do something?"
