Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

After saying that, Lu Yanzheng raised his military boots and stomped hard on Deng Ke and Sun Daming's chests, one on each side.

The force was so great that even soldiers three meters away could hear the sound of ribs breaking.

When Liu Cuiping and Liu Suier saw this, they were so frightened that they burst into tears and almost fainted.

Zheng Guodong and Chen Zhen rushed forward, one on each side, and grabbed the iron leopard tightly.

"Commander Lu, let's talk this out calmly, don't be impulsive. How did Director Deng offend you?"

Army Commander Zheng Guodong was unaware of what had happened, but Chen Zhen had a rough idea.

"Lu Yanzheng, this is the military. Follow the rules and don't resort to violence. If Director Deng and the others have done anything wrong, report it to us, and the superiors will deal with it severely."

Lu Yanzheng had just handed the interrogation report he had obtained from the guard brigade to Zheng Guodong.

"The evidence of the crime is all here!"

"Sir, please handle this matter!"

When Zheng Guodong saw it, he realized that what Deng Ke and his wife had done was truly inhumane.

Everyone in this unit knows that Lu Yanzheng, the Iron Leopard, is fiercely protective of his wife, and that woman is a real troublemaker.

Why do you think those two idiots have to go out of their way to provoke us?

Well, instead of pulling others down, he's the one who's fallen.

Lu Baozi has now returned victorious and his reputation is at its peak, so we can only follow his wishes and punish him severely. These two fools have really walked into the line of fire; they have only themselves to blame.

Zheng Guodong looked at the two unlucky guys on the ground, whom Lu Yanzheng had used as a warning to others, his face solemn and his eyes sharp, and solemnly announced.

"Deng Ke, director of the logistics service department, condoned his family members' framing of the family members of meritorious soldiers while the army was on a mission. Effective today, he is suspended from his duties and ordered to be transferred to civilian work."

"Sergeant Sun Daming of the production brigade was fined, his allowance was confiscated, he was discharged from the military, sent back to his place of origin, and handed over to the local government for supervision and reform."

"The other two main culprits, Liu Cuiping and Liu Suier, will be dealt with according to the original judgment made by Captain Wang of the Guard Brigade."

Commander Zheng's punishment this time was quite severe, directly expelling Deng Ke and Sun Daming from the troops without the slightest hesitation.

"Commander Lu, are you satisfied with this punishment?"

That's more like it. Lu Yanzheng's expression was cold and stern, and he suppressed his fierce aura.

"I'm just seeking justice for my wife. As for the appropriate punishment, sir, you can handle it according to military regulations. I won't interfere!"

That cunning Iron Leopard. He was the one who forced the severe punishment, yet now he's spouting such high-sounding words, trying to absolve himself of all responsibility.

Why aren't you intervening? He's already stuck his foot in the person's chest, breaking their ribs. How else can he intervene?

Zheng Guodong felt helpless inside, but his face remained upright and solemn.

"Alright, the case of theft and disciplinary violation has now been properly handled. Now, let's begin the commendation ceremony for Regiment Commander Lu Yanzheng and his combat team for their meritorious service."

"Salute—Salute!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers stood in neat formation, raising their hands in salute!

On the military camp square, all the officers and soldiers stood up straight, their eyes solemn, all fixed on the tall, imposing man in military uniform in front of them.

The ceremony is complete!

Zheng Guodong began solemnly reading the commendation speech in a loud and clear voice.

"The border conflict has recently intensified, with a large number of armed criminals from a neighboring country attacking our villagers and civilians. The military situation is critical! Comrade Lu Yanzheng has been appointed to a critical mission and has bravely shouldered this heavy responsibility, leading his frontline combat team deep into dangerous territory to overcome difficulties!"

"During the operation, this comrade was resolute, skillful in command, led from the front, and fearless in the face of death! He broke through the enemy's blockade several times, successfully completed high-risk assault missions, severely damaged the invaders, and bravely wiped out all enemy agents, making outstanding contributions to the border stability work."

"Comrade Lu Yanzheng is known for his tough style, strong sense of responsibility, and excellent tactical skills. He led his combat squad with unity and courage, achieving remarkable results and outstanding merits, fully demonstrating the fine military spirit of our people's soldiers—loyalty to the country and bravery in battle!"

At this point, Zheng Guodong's gaze fell solemnly on Lu Yanzheng, and his words were firm and resolute:

"With the unified research of the Party Committee of the Military Headquarters and the approval of the leaders of the Central Headquarters:"

Comrade Lu Yanzheng is hereby officially awarded the First-Class Merit!

A major merit will be awarded, a commendation will be issued throughout the entire army, and the merit will be recorded in the army's merit file!

"His frontline combat team fought bravely and achieved outstanding results. The team was awarded a collective third-class merit, and the entire team received material rewards, military merit registration, and was commended and studied by the whole army!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted throughout the room. The officers and soldiers were filled with admiration and respect, their blood boiling with patriotic fervor.

"Commander Lu, you are mighty! Commander Lu, you are mighty!"

Lu Yanzheng stood tall and straight, his back ramrod straight, his brows and eyes cold and composed. He raised his hand in a standard, solemn military salute, his voice steady and resonant:

"Thank you for your trust and guidance, Commander! Defending our country and guarding our territory is the duty of every soldier! Lu Yanzheng will abide by military discipline, remain true to his original aspiration, and continue to strive to fulfill his responsibilities to the country and bring glory to the military!"

Zheng Guodong patted Lu Yanzheng on the shoulder, his eyes filled with appreciation and encouraging him wholeheartedly.

"Good lad, keep it up and work hard. You'll probably be a senior colonel soon, not long after you become a colonel."

"I've already submitted the promotion report to headquarters. We'll move you to a different position once the appointment letter arrives."

This time, his meritorious service has led to a promotion. This is a military achievement earned through real blood and sweat, and no one can be jealous of it.

But Lu Yanzheng was just lucky. He actually saved the daughter of a high-ranking official who was teaching in a rural area during a mission.

Originally, according to the established standards for evaluating combat merits, he was awarded a second-class merit, but the commander made an exception and promoted him directly to a first-class merit.

With such a debt of gratitude, his future military career will surely be bright and promising.

"Thank you for your hard work, Commander!"

Lu Yanzheng hurriedly returned Zheng Guodong's salute and then ran impatiently to the outer corner of the formation.

Chen Zhen, Political Commissar Wang, and others wanted to step forward to offer their congratulations, but before they could even speak, he had vanished without a trace.

"Commander Lu, congratulations...congratulations..."

"No, what was he rushing off to do? He didn't even acknowledge me!"

Zheng Guodong raised his chin and pointed to the most dazzling figure on the outer edge of the railing in the distance.

"What else can you do? Go find a wife, of course! Nobody has time for you. Do you think you're as attractive as a wife?"

Political Commissar Wang's lips twitched.

"This shameless lecher, I've never seen anyone so impatient."

Zheng Guodong and his companions chuckled jokingly.

Lu Yanzheng had seen Commissar Wang and his group arriving early on, but he couldn't be bothered to deal with them. He hadn't had a proper intimate moment with his beautiful wife for over ten days; who had time to chat with those stinky men?

He strode into the crowd of family members watching, took Xiao Re's hand, and walked away.

"Rer, let's go home!"

Before he could even take a step, He Yingying emerged from the crowd, grabbing his hand tightly and crying.

"Brother Zheng, you're finally back!"

"Do you know that while you were away, Xiao Re, that troublemaker, has been causing me trouble every day?"

"She bullied me so much! Waaah~~~"
