Father, you've been drafted four times already, please spare us!

"Speak, I'll speak!"

"I'll talk!"

"Officer Cheng, I really don't know what to say!"

Yao Dagen looked at Chen Nian, who was giving him a half-smile, and felt his legs clench so tightly that he truly trembled.

When Cheng Yongkang saw Yao Dagen, who "had diarrhea" as soon as he stepped on stage, he cursed inwardly: You really are useless when I give you a chance!

But since the matter was of great importance, Cheng Yongkang could only guide the conversation by saying:

"Comrade, don't be afraid. Just tell the commanders how Chen Nian treated you during training!"

"Expose all his misdeeds, and the commander will stand up for you!"

Yao Dagen swallowed hard.

"Then I'll tell you!"

Cheng Yongkang gave Yao Dagen an encouraging look, signaling him to speak up.

Yao Dagen steeled his heart and closed his eyes.

"Commendations, Instructor Chen Nian uses training methods that none of us, not even the new recruits' squad leaders, have ever heard of!"

"Many of these tips are quite useful!"

"Instructor Chen was worried about us getting injured during training, so he had a medical team stationed at the training ground to ensure that no accidents would happen during training. After training, the medical team also assisted us with our recovery!"

"As for the 'malicious' actions mentioned by Officer Cheng, I don't know what 'malicious' means or how it's defined. If Instructor Chen's actions are considered malicious, then what about our training results?"

"Comrade Commander, I beseech Heaven to discern the loyal from the treacherous!"

Yao Dagen's delivery of the lyrics was so stiff that it amused Chen Nian.

I implore Heaven to discern the loyal from the treacherous; who is the loyal and who is the treacherous?

Qin Yuanshan had expected that these new recruits would support Chen Nian, but he did not expect Chen Nian to have such high prestige among them.

If the new recruits really had a problem with Chen Nian, there probably wouldn't have been a "face-to-face confrontation" scene; they would have been blocked by someone while they were shooting at targets.

Moreover, Qin Yuanshan knew Cheng Yongkang's character all too well. The reason why Cheng Yongkang insisted on following along this trip was simply to get revenge for what happened before.

Isn't he just looking to vent his anger on Zhang Zheng and Lao Ge?

When Qin Yuanshan saw the new recruits shouting "Please Heaven, discern the loyal from the treacherous," he was immediately taken aback and almost burst out laughing.

Fortunately, Lao Qin was professionally trained and a seasoned veteran at keeping quiet, so he didn't burst out laughing in public.

Otherwise, the situation would be quite awkward.

When Cheng Yongkang saw that Yao Dagen not only did not accuse Chen Nian of his crimes, but also praised Chen Nian and even said "May Heaven distinguish between the loyal and the treacherous" at the end, directly pointing the finger at him, Cheng Yongkang panicked.

"Comrade, have you been threatened by someone? If so, you can tell me, and tell the leaders here. They will back you up!"

Yao Dagen looked at Cheng Yongkang with a strange expression. Did this man not understand human language?

He wasn't even hinting; he was practically pointing at the monk and calling him bald. Why was he still so persistent?

"Officer Cheng, I'm telling the truth. You can ask other people if you don't believe me!"

"And what are you implying? Or are you alluding to someone? Let's be frank!"

Yao Dagen's quick combo completely shut down Cheng Yongkang's brain.

No, are all new recruits this eloquent?

Cheng Yongkang had no idea that Yao Dagen was no ordinary recruit; he was a special forces seed handpicked by Chen Nian. If he couldn't even understand this simple matter and didn't know how to handle it flexibly, Cheng Yongkang could only say that Chen Nian had misjudged him.

"Comrade, that's not what you told me before!"

"Didn't you say that Chen Nian would physically punish you for failing your training? Would he force you to run 10,000 meters?"

Cheng Yongkang glanced at Qin Yuanshan and noticed that the other man's expression had changed. He immediately pulled out what Yao Dagen had told him earlier, hoping to find the logical fallacy in Yao Dagen's "nonsense" after being threatened.

"Yes, if the training isn't up to par, isn't extra training normal?"

"Even though we're new recruits, we're still soldiers!"

"If you can't even take responsibility for yourself during training, are you even a soldier?"

"If the training is inadequate, and we don't practice more, how can we develop solid skills and defend our country!"

"Officer Cheng, you didn't participate in the training, did you?"

Lore!

A perfect finishing move!

In short, it made Cheng Yongkang's head spin.

Isn't this just bringing up Cheng Yongkang's old issues again?

Cheng Yongkang's face darkened, his back teeth clenched, and the masseter muscles on both sides of his face began to bulge, which showed how angry he was.

People just can't listen to the truth!

"Then what about your previous statement that Chen Nian would forcibly hang you on the horizontal bar and tie you to a cross during training, which was an insult to your dignity?"

"Didn't you say that?"

Yao Dagen nodded vigorously:

"I was the one who said it. We hang from the horizontal bar because we can't do pull-ups. Instructor Chen is using this method to help us train our arm muscles while minimizing our effort!"

"As for the cross you mentioned, it does exist, but that's for new recruits whose posture, squatting, and formations aren't up to standard. It helps correct their spine, just like the posture correctors you see on TV!"

"Officer Cheng, you haven't watched TV before, have you?"

"I!"

Cheng Yongkang felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, stars flashing everywhere, and a lump of blood welled up in his chest, almost causing him to pass out.

"No, then why didn't you tell me before?"

Yao Dagen blinked:

"You didn't even ask! When I was about to speak, you turned and walked away, looking excited. I thought you understood!"

"Officer Cheng, how could you take things out of context when you reported to the superior?"

After saying this, Yao Dagen turned to Qin Yuanshan again:

"Commander, I beseech Heaven to discern the loyal from the treacherous!"

Qin Yuanshan's lips tightened, and he thought to himself: This new recruit is really good at making a scene. Does he think I'm Bao Zheng?

"Ahem, young comrade, do you have anything else to say? If not, please leave now. I'll handle this matter!"

Yao Dagen is very obedient, as well-behaved as a little baby:

"Yes, sir!"

After saying that, Yao Dagen jumped off the platform and returned to the group.

Cheng Yongkang grew anxious and turned to Qin Yuanshan, crying as he complained:

"Sir, believe me, he's only afraid to tell the truth because he's afraid of Chen Nian's retaliation!"

"Okay, let me find another person, as long as we can guarantee he won't face retaliation, and he dares to expose Chen Nian's malicious acts and the inaction of some leaders in the recruit training camp!"

Qin Yuanshan slowly stood up and walked from the back to the front of the stage. As he passed Cheng Yongkang, Qin Yuanshan lowered his voice and reprimanded him:

"Isn't that embarrassing enough? Get back home!"

Qin Yuanshan paused for a moment, standing at the edge of the high platform.

"Comrades, we, the so-called leaders, are not here to find fault or to frame anyone!"

"Please rest assured, comrades, we will definitely handle this matter properly!"

"Everyone should get back to training. I'm sorry for taking up your time!"

Qin Yuanshan adopted a very humble attitude. He had allowed Cheng Yongkang's so-called investigation, and now that things had come to this, he naturally had to step forward to clean up the mess.

"Sir, what should we do with Cheng Yongkang?"

"Yes, sir, we know Cheng Yongkang is a relative, a princeling, and we've heard about his behavior in basic training. We also know he was a soldier who was sent back!"

"Now he's falsely accusing our Instructor Chen. How do we resolve this?"

Qin Yuanshan frowned slightly, turned to look at Chen Nian, only to find that Chen Nian's eyes were wide open, clearly unaware of the matter.

Chen Nian also turned his attention to the group of new recruits and discovered that the person who was leading the shouting was Xie Fei!

Xie Fei, you've really screwed me over!
