Nobody's a fool; this doesn't follow normal procedures or rules at all.

Zhang Yufeng remained silent, his eyes fixed intently on the line of names that had been replaced in the new notification.

"Someone must have pulled some dirty tricks behind your back, not wanting you to get the Wulin Mountain mission, but this is too much..." Zhao Yunshan kicked a pillar next to him, as if venting his anger.

Then, he remembered something.

"This name, Liu Dekai, Yu Feng, doesn't it sound familiar?" Zhao Yunshan suddenly shouted.

Zhang Yufeng certainly remembered.

"Commander Mo's ideal son-in-law," he said through gritted teeth.

Many memories were awakened: how they had tripped up this person at the promotion ceremony, the grudges between Liu Dekai and Su Yueya, and their good brother Lu Zhengjun.

"This is outrageous! I'd heard this guy climbed the ranks because of his father-in-law, but I never expected him to go this far. The notice had already been issued, and he still managed to find someone to replace him. It's utterly insulting!" Zhao Yunshan was furious and immediately rushed to find Lu Zhengjun. "I'm going to talk to Zhengjun about this. He's a brigade commander now, and I want to see what Brigade Commander Mo can do to him!"

"No!" Zhang Yufeng immediately pulled the person back.

He had considered this idea before. In terms of connections, Zhang Yufeng was no less than Liu Dekai. Just his good brother Lu Zhengjun was at the same rank as Mo Cheng. But Zhang Yufeng never did this kind of thing. This was the first time he had been tricked, and he felt very complicated.

“Yu Feng, the Emperor won’t think this is troublesome. He will definitely be willing to help you. Besides, they were in the wrong to begin with. You were tricked. We don’t need to retaliate, but at least we should get justice!” Zhao Yunshan said. He was impulsive, but not brainless. He had considered the consequences before he acted.

It's impossible for Lu Zhengjun to risk everything and bear the crisis just to help Zhang Yufeng; that's far from the truth.

But Zhang Yufeng was unwilling.

“Zhengjun has only just been promoted, and there are already many people who are jealous of him. If I stand up for him, even more people might see him as a thorn in their side. Forget it,” Zhang Yufeng said.

Although he was disappointed, he could imagine that since the other party had resorted to these methods, they were going all out. After all, the Wulin Mountain mission was a lucrative one, and anyone could see that the other party was determined to get it if they still did this.

Zhang Yufeng never takes sides; he simply doesn't want to get involved in such matters.

Mo Cheng alone couldn't possibly have such power. Zhang Yufeng wasn't entirely clear about what might be involved, but he could vaguely sense that he didn't want his good brother to be the one to stick his neck out.

"You—" Zhao Yunshan was furious, but this was Zhang Yufeng's own business, and he couldn't make the decision for him.

However, Lu Zhengjun eventually found out about this.

As the brigade commander, he was responsible for receiving these notices. Remembering Zhang Yufeng's mission, he paid a closer look and discovered a change.

"Liu Dekai?" Lu Zhengjun was so angry that she laughed.

If it were a different name, his first reaction would be to find someone to confirm and verify whether there had been any changes that led to the change of the quota.

But if he was replaced by Liu Dekai, then there's no need for investigation; it's definitely because this person used underhanded tactics. And who else could help him but Mo Cheng?

"You're really good at scheming and robbing!" Lu Zhengjun's tone was full of sarcasm.

How could he not understand Liu Dekai's style?

After all, he was her rival in love back then, so it was impossible for him not to have investigated him. Therefore, Lu Zhengjun knew quite a lot about Liu Dekai's past, and naturally knew what Mo Cheng had done for this promising son-in-law.

Today, even if the person whose mission was stolen wasn't Zhang Yufeng, but someone else, as long as Lu Zhengjun knows about it, she can't remain indifferent and pretend she knows nothing.

Moreover, this matter was already extremely absurd. Replacing the task of the regimental commander with that of the battalion commander is just ridiculous.

Lu Zhengjun took the two different notices and went directly to the army commander's office.

He was too lazy to even look for Mo Cheng, since he was just a newly promoted Mo Cheng. If he went to argue with him, the other party would likely use his seniority to pressure him, so he went directly to the army commander.

He's going to overstep his bounds; he's determined to expose this whole thing!

"Commander Liao!" Lu Zhengjun saluted.

"Why did you suddenly come to my office?" Liao Chengye looked at Lu Zhengjun with a smile. He admired Lu Zhengjun very much and treated him with the same kindness he would show to a younger member of his family.

"Commander Liao, I've come today to report a very serious matter that I need to bypass your direct superiors to!" Lu Zhengjun said.

Seeing his posture, Liao Chengye realized that it was a very serious matter.

"What's going on?" Liao Chengye asked.

Lu Zhengjun immediately produced two notices that were only three days apart and pointed out the only change in them.

"The Wulin Mountain mission was originally led by Regiment Commander Zhang Yufeng. Only three days have passed, and nothing has happened during that time, nor has any explanation been given. Under these circumstances, a new notice has been issued, changing the leader to a soldier at the battalion commander level. Is this reasonable?" Lu Zhengjun pointed out.

"You investigated the situation and found something fishy?" Liao Chengye frowned. He knew this kind of thing would happen, and often he would just turn a blind eye, since the leaders only cared about the results.

As long as the task is completed smoothly, that's fine. If we get too hung up on the details and insist on black-and-white thinking, then too many people will not stand up to scrutiny.

“Commander Liao, I don’t need to investigate at all, because this name was earned step by step through such means. His existence is the biggest injustice to the other soldiers. Moreover, everyone in the army knows about this, but no one mentions it because of Commander Mo’s face. But I, Lu Zhengjun, am willing to be the villain today. I will tear this shameful thing apart!” Lu Zhengjun said.

Such a morally corrupt person will only become a parasite in the military.

"Alright, leave the things here with me. Don't do anything rash. I'll send someone to investigate," Liao Chengye said, worried that Lu Zhengjun might act impulsively.

"Yes, I understand," Lu Zhengjun said. He was not an impulsive person.

Since Liao Chengye agreed to this matter, Lu Zhengjun believed that it would not be left unresolved. If a real investigation were conducted, the day when Mo Cheng and Liu Dekai would suffer would not be far off.

But he wasn't really doing nothing. After all, Liu Dekai was experienced in "picking tasks," which must have offended quite a few people.

At this critical moment, if all those whose missions were stolen could stand up, they would unite as one and become a great force, even shaking Mo Cheng's position.
