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

"Xiaokang, you may have to leave the army."

After communicating with Lao Cheng, Zhang Xingong arrived at the solitary confinement room.

Cheng Yongkang knew he had made a big mistake and that he might be punished, but he hadn't realized how serious the situation was. So when he heard the news, he thought Zhang Xingong was joking with him.

"Cousin, don't joke with me. I know I've gotten myself into trouble this time, but it's just a matter of my dad making a phone call. Why don't you just call him and ask him to shut it down?"

"Tell him I'll go back and apologize to him, I'll apologize on my knees!"

"Cousin, someone definitely set me up this time. Think about it, first yesterday the cookhouse foreman made so many aphrodisiacs, and then Zhou Shuyi arrived in Qingshan County that night!"

"This is all a series of interconnected schemes; I've definitely been set up!"

After saying that, Cheng Yongkang muttered viciously:

"Damn it, it's definitely that Chen Nian! Just you wait until this is all over, I'll have my dad kill you!"

Looking at Cheng Yongkang's ferocious face, Zhang Xingong suddenly felt a sense of desolation. He had been working in the sanitary napkin industry all along, only to end up protecting this thing.

Regardless of whether anyone framed Cheng Yongkang, the entire company ate a "ten-in-one tonic feast," so why was it only Cheng Yongkang who climbed over the wall to get out?

Are you going to scam the whole company just to trick you?

If this matter is investigated and found out, who can bear such a huge responsibility!

"Little brother, I'm not joking with you. This is my uncle's decision. I've already spoken to him on the phone, and he said... never mind, it's a fait accompli."

Zhang Xingong still didn't relay Lao Cheng's original words. Lao Cheng said on the phone, "If you can't make something out of nothing, then don't try. Let him fend for himself!"

Old Cheng was ruthless. After this incident, his first thought was to cut ties with Cheng Yongkang immediately to avoid getting burned and implicating himself.

But these words were ultimately somewhat cruel, and Zhang Xingong still couldn't bring himself to say them.

"Impossible, cousin, this is simply impossible!"

"My dad won't abandon me. I'm his only son. If he doesn't care about me, who will inherit his position?"

"My dad would never abandon me!"

When Cheng Yongkang heard Zhang Xingong confirm it again, he finally panicked.

He started screaming and began smashing the wall frantically.

Zhang Xingong watched quietly, waiting for Cheng Yongkang to accept this fact.

Suddenly, Cheng Yongkang seemed to realize something. His eyes turned bloodshot as he stared intently at Zhang Xingong and roared:

"It must be you, it must be you, right? You're the one who's turning against my dad. If my dad abandons me, he'll definitely support you wholeheartedly in the army. You'll be the ultimate beneficiary of this!"

"Zhang Xingong, my cousin, I trusted you so much. If it weren't for my father, you'd still be farming right now!"

"Damn it, are you trying to steal my spot?!"

"Zhang Xingong, how could you face my father, my mother, and me?"

Cheng Yongkang suddenly turned his attention to Zhang Xingong, which greatly surprised Zhang Xingong. He never expected that his cousin would make such malicious assumptions about him.

For a moment, he was stunned. He remembered how he had repeatedly helped Cheng Yongkang deal with his messes, how his aunt had held his hand before she died and told him that Cheng Yongkang was her brother and that he had to protect him, and how he had used any means necessary in the army just to repay a debt of gratitude...

Cheng Yongkang saw Zhang Xingong standing there dumbfounded and suddenly burst into laughter:

"Heh, I knew it!"

"Zhang Xingong, you're the most disgusting person of all!"

After saying that, Cheng Yongkang suddenly jumped off the bed and pounced on Zhang Xingong, unleashing a flurry of punches.

Zhang Xingong's eyes welled up with tears on the spot.

"You, you're a fucking lunatic!"

"You don't deserve so many people helping you!"

Zhang Xingong was furious; this was the first time he had ever said such things to his cousin.

"Cheng Yongkang, you're a fucking beast! Everyone was risking their lives to help you, and look at what you've done!"

Zhang Xingong was different from Cheng Yongkang. In addition to Cheng's help in the army, he was also very hardworking. He graduated from military academy and was very skilled. In a fit of anger, he kicked Cheng Yongkang in the stomach.

"You're trash, you're just a piece of trash!"

Cheng Yongkang did not expect Zhang Xingong to resist. Caught off guard, Zhang Xingong was kicked against the wall by Cheng Yongkang and fell to the ground clutching his stomach.

"I want to call my dad! Give me my phone! I want to call my dad!"

"I'm going to expose your heartless and treacherous nature to my dad!"

Zhang Xingong was stunned again when he heard Cheng Yongkang ask him for his phone.

"Where's your phone?"

Zhang Xingong was present before being locked in solitary confinement; no one took his phone away, and he subconsciously ignored it.

"Is it any of your business? Give me the phone, I need to contact my dad!"

Zhang Xingong's face suddenly turned pale, and he immediately took out his phone and dialed a squad leader's number:

"Old Zhou, before Cheng Yongkang was put in solitary confinement, did you search him? Did you take away his cell phone and any other communication devices?"

Squad Leader Zhou was taken aback upon hearing this and asked in return:

"He didn't have a cell phone on him, Company Commander. Didn't you take his phone away?"

"What, you didn't take his phone?"

Zhang Xingong suppressed his inner terror, his lips trembling:

"No, it's nothing. I was in such a rush that I forgot. My phone is with me!"

"I just want to confirm, in case he contacts anyone outside, things will be difficult for us!"

"Alright, I'm busy here, that's all for now!"

Zhang Xingong's explanation was full of holes, but he couldn't care less about that now.

Cheng Yongkang's phone was lost. Was it left at the scene, or was it taken by someone?

At the scene, who was the first person to come into contact with Cheng Yongkang?

Aged!

It must have been Chen Nian who took Cheng Yongkang's phone!

Zhang Xingong dared not think any further and grabbed Cheng Yongkang by the collar:

"Your phone password! Does that woman know your phone password?!"

Zhang Xingong suddenly remembered that Chen Nian had once "verified" Zhou Shuyi's identity. If Zhou Shuyi knew Cheng Yongkang's phone password...

"What's it to you? Give me my phone right now, I need to call my dad!"

Cheng Yongkang is now unable to listen to anything Zhang Xingong says and only wants to contact his father.

"Make a phone call? Do you know how serious the consequences would be if you lost your phone?"

Do you know how many people you're dragging down with you?

"Uncle-in-law then..."

Cheng Yongkang was stunned for a moment.

"Zhou, Zhou Shuyi knows the password!"

"Hold!"

...

At four o'clock in the morning, the new recruits were fast asleep, but many of the officers in the recruit company were wide awake.

Inside Lao Ge's office.

"Have you figured it out?"

Chen Nian leaned back on the sofa, rubbing his temples.

"No, no, I'd like to hear your opinion!"

Chen Nian looked at Lao Ge, who was full of worries and didn't know what to do, and sighed.

"Well, I don't have any opinion. I want to ask you a question: do you think good people live longer, or bad people?"

Do you think good people are really rewarded?

Do bad people really get their just desserts?

Old Ge was stunned for a moment, wondering what Chen Nian wanted to say.

I once heard a saying: Heaven takes from those who have too much and gives to those who have too little!

"But good people and bad people are not determined by the laws of heaven, but by the laws of humanity!"

"Humanity's way is exactly the opposite of Heaven's way; humanity's way is to take from those who lack and give to those who have too much!"

At this moment, Chen Nian was like a philosopher. He didn't tell Lao Ge what to do, but instead guided Lao Ge to confront his own inner self through a method.

"My instructor once told me that as a member of the special forces, the enemies we face are all ruthless and vicious people. To defeat them, we must be even more ruthless and vicious than them!"

At this point, Chen Nian paused and said no more.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the office.

After an unknown amount of time, Old Ge slowly spoke:

"I don't ask to purge the corrupt elements from the unit; that's not something I, at my rank, should be concerned with. I only ask to protect the brothers behind me!"

"The phone's here, tell me how to use it!"

Chen Nian looked at Cheng Yongkang's phone and smiled slightly:

"You don't have to do anything. You just need to make a phone call, and someone will be willing to do it!"

"who!"
