Wei Aiguo didn't pursue the matter further, just waiting for the leaders to handle it. Yang Liqing and the others were put in solitary confinement for three days and had to write self-criticisms.

When they came out, their faces were still covered in bruises. Qiao Tiezhu muttered that he was still in a lot of pain. Zhang Feng and Bai Dajun didn't reply; they were in pain too.

In subsequent training sessions, Wei Aiguo demonstrated his exceptional physical abilities, being the first to reach the finish line during a weighted cross-country run.

During moving target training, Wei Aiguo scored ten points out of ten with every shot, and he also had the fastest shooting speed.

Yang Liqing's squad is now the quietest in the entire battalion.

After learning about Wei Aiguo's qualifications and abilities, Yang Liqing and his group could no longer be arrogant.

Now, adding Wei Aiguo's achievements...

Just as everyone wanted to apologize to Wei Aiguo, he left.

Nobody knows what he went to do.

Yang Liqing only knew that Wei Aiguo had met with Han, the clerk, three days before he left!

Qiao Tiepao muttered, "We lived in the same military camp, and he left without even saying goodbye!"

Yang Liqing angrily said, "Qiao Dazhu, you're a soldier, not a scoundrel. Can't you think before you speak?"

"What's wrong with me now?" Qiao Tiepao was also feeling uneasy.

“You said that Comrade Wei Aiguo’s wife was dirty the other day. You’re not a child anymore, don’t you understand what it means to say a woman is dirty?” Tong Jianshe said.

Qiao Dapao: "That's really not what I was thinking at the time. I...you guys should remind me!"

"Shut up!"

How can you remind someone of something like that? Wouldn't saying it again in front of Wei Aiguo be even more insulting?

At the time, Wei Aiguo punched you, and we thought he deliberately used so much force.

We all know that's how you talk, and everyone thinks he's gone too far. Actually, he's just naturally that strong.

In the afternoon, during the weighted cross-country run, the squad leader said he didn't say anything to you, and then what did you say?

Wei Aiguo was quite far away at the time, and you spoke without any restraint, so he could hear you clearly.

Wei Aiguo said, "Are we even men? Don't we have any shame? We talk about other people's wives behind their backs." Sui Gang said.

"They didn't even investigate the matter of the war!"...

…

Officer Han went to the military camp—not to see Wei Aiguo—but was stopped by him…

Han, the clerk, reported what Wei Aiguo had said to Secretary Fang.

Shen Changchuan and Secretary Fang certainly knew how well Wei Aiguo was behaving in the military.

Wei Aiguo's performance is satisfactory and demonstrates his competence.

Shen Changchuan felt a pang of sadness. This child never relied on anyone and had never had anyone to depend on since childhood.

Is he still dissatisfied with his military achievements?

There's a saying that the military and police are inseparable, and sometimes that makes sense.

The smuggling of cultural relics out of the country definitely falls under the jurisdiction of the police. The cultural relics being smuggled are of great significance to the country, so it's certainly within Shen Changchuan's department's power to handle them. Ultimately, it can be handed over to the Provincial Public Security Bureau for processing. Su Zhaohai knows his eldest son is definitely not going to be released, and he's in a hurry to distance himself from the situation. He even has the audacity to ask Shen Changchuan if, now that his son has been found, he should bring him to meet them, his elders.

If Shen Changchuan had acknowledged his son, wouldn't he have brought him out? He definitely hasn't!

Shen Changchuan's men are now keeping an eye on Su Zhaohai, waiting to see when they can get evidence against this spy.

Wei Aiguo came from the countryside and was considered unsophisticated by others. They might even try to win him over.

Su Zhaohai might be thinking the same thing.

Shen Changchuan believed his son had the willpower, but flies are annoying even if they don't bite!

Since he has this idea, and the father has the authority to do so, and it's not against any rules, why not give him the opportunity?

Secretary Fang then made the arrangements.
