The quick resolution of the shelter issue allowed Ding Yun and his team to showcase their abilities, earning them the respect of the military personnel.

Unexpectedly, some spies had slipped through the net and were now directly attacking Ding Yun.

"You were indeed sent by Number One, but you've gone far too far!"

Shi Zan, one of the second-in-commands of the military region, slammed the documents on the table in anger and questioned them sternly.

Ding Yun looked at him calmly without saying a word.

The others were all too familiar with this situation.

Such people are generally either problematic themselves or greedy and want to take this opportunity to demand more.

But no matter which one, they will all fail in the end.

So they weren't in a hurry to argue with this person, but instead observed the military region's attitude.

After all, he's not the only one in charge here.

“Look at your attitude! You soldiers aren’t even obeying your superiors’ orders. I clearly said that we must follow the trail and find out who’s behind this. Look at what you’ve done!”

Shi Zan, as if he had been waiting for this opportunity, said hatefully, "In order to claim credit, you only captured those who were exposed outside. What about the others?"

The other leaders remained silent upon seeing this.

The people they had previously identified were not of high status, so they could be apprehended quickly.

Shizan, however, was an exception.

He was not only the second-in-command, but also controlled a portion of the military forces.

Without solid evidence, they cannot easily take action against him.

So at this moment, no one spoke up; they were all waiting to see what would happen.

"Are you mute? Explain!"

Shi Zan seemed to have anticipated that Ding Yun and the others wouldn't speak up, since Lin Yuan and Jiang Rushi weren't there, and these people were all his subordinates; anything they said would be wrong.

Although he appeared angry on the surface, he gradually became happy inside.

If things develop as he imagines, he can not only sow discord between Province X and the higher authorities, but also take this opportunity to get rid of some troublesome individuals.

"What does this commander want us to say?"

Ding Yun calmly asked, "Do you want us to admit that we disobeyed orders, or do you want us to take the blame?"

"With your attitude, no wonder you were sent out!"

Shizan had anticipated his answer, so he responded with ease.

And things were going exactly as he had planned, making him extremely pleased with himself.

"According to you, all the people who don't stay in the capital are just like me."

Ding Yun simply transferred the pot to someone else.

He's not stupid; he's not going to take the blame.

Not to mention that this matter was truly just Shi Zan's baseless accusation.

The person behind it all had already been identified, and Jiang Rushi had also located them and sent the data to his phone.

He was about to report the situation to his superior when this person turned the tables on him.

Such an urgent and abrupt reaction makes it hard to believe he has nothing to hide.

Moreover, there are spies from outside here, and Shi Zan might be one of them.

Now that they've come forward on their own, it saves us the trouble of having to painstakingly investigate.

What we lack most right now is evidence!

However, the evidence was quickly and automatically provided.

Because they discovered that this battle not only failed to achieve the original objectives, but also resulted in the base suffering more than half of its losses, they knew that if they continued to hide, their fate would be predictable.

As a result, some people took the initiative to back down and submit the evidence they had in order to seek leniency.

Shi Zan has not yet been caught.

He must be intelligent to have gotten to this position.

His earlier probing with Ding Yun made him realize that he had been too hasty.

Since the hard approach didn't work, he tried the soft approach.
