Chapter 191 Pleading for Mercy

"Leaking...military intelligence..."

When Grandpa Gu heard Tong Aiguo's words, he could hardly believe his ears.

Did his family's descendants leak military intelligence?

How is that possible?

His family has been in the military for three generations. From a young age, he was taught that military orders are absolute and that he must not do anything illegal or disorderly.

So how could Gu Yanfeng possibly leak military intelligence?

"Is there some misunderstanding...?"

"It's impossible," Old Master Gu said tremblingly. Although he knew it was impossible, he still clung to that one in ten thousand chance and asked.

"We have solid evidence."

This time, it was Gu Yanxiao who spoke.

He didn't argue with Old Master Gu any longer, and simply waved his hand, signaling Wang Jian and the others to go upstairs and bring Gu Yanfeng down.

Wang Jian and Ding Yongming nodded and went upstairs.

As soon as I went upstairs, I smelled a strong odor of alcohol.

Gu Yanfeng was lying on the bed, fast asleep with his limbs spread out, his clothes neatly arranged, and the door was not even closed.

It was obvious that Gu Yanfeng was drunk and went to his room to sleep. He walked in and immediately collapsed, forgetting to even close the door.

This is good, it saves Wang Jian and the others a lot of effort. They don't have to worry about how to break down the door, or whether they'll freeze to death if they just carry him out like this.

The two men each grabbed one of Gu Yanfeng's hands and lifted him off the bed.

Gu Yanfeng, who was having a wonderful dream, in which he was becoming a leader and happily accepting everyone's salutes, was suddenly pulled and opened his eyes with a dazed look.

Upon seeing Wang Jian and his companion, he immediately began to curse, "How dare you! Who are you two, daring to break into my house... Do you even know who I am? You..."

Wang Jian felt nauseous from the strong smell of alcohol, smoke, and breath that emanated from the man's mouth as he spoke. He simply pressed the man's head down and dragged him downstairs.

"Stop talking nonsense. We are here to arrest you on the orders of our superior. We'll talk about it when we get to the interrogation room."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanfeng felt a chill run down his spine.

What's the meaning?

What do you mean by "being ordered by the commander to arrest him"?

"What right do you have to arrest me? I haven't done anything wrong, why are you arresting me arbitrarily! This is the Gu family home, do you even know who my grandfather is?"

Gu Yanfeng sobered up completely and began to struggle violently.

Unfortunately, his meager strength was laughable, like child's play, in the eyes of Wang Jian and Ding Yongming.

Thinking of Gu Yanfeng, who actually stole Gu Yanxiao's credit by relying on Old Master Gu's personal favors, and even after being found out, still protected him as a platoon leader, the disgust in his heart became even stronger.

"Shut up, stop yelling! We've come to your house to arrest you, do you think we don't know who your grandfather is? Let me tell you, the mistake you've made this time, even Chief Gu can't protect you!"

Gu Yanfeng was indignant: "What did I do wrong? I've been on vacation all this time, and at most I've had a few drinks. What did I do wrong!"

Gu Yanfeng felt utterly wronged.

Ever since it was discovered that he stole Gu Yanxiao's credit, everyone in the army has looked down on him.

Although he was still just a platoon leader, even the new recruits treated him with disdain.

You can imagine how frustrated he was!

Hearing Gu Yanfeng's words, Old Master Gu downstairs looked at Gu Yanxiao with a solemn expression and said, "Yanxiao, Yanfeng is not lying. He really hasn't done anything or gone anywhere during this time. Isn't there some misunderstanding?"

Regardless of the circumstances, Old Master Gu refused to believe that his family, his grandson, would leak military secrets.

Gu Yanxiao gave him a mocking look and said, "Chief Gu, didn't you hear that just now? He hasn't been doing anything else lately, but he's been going out drinking quite a bit."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Gu was stunned, looking at him in disbelief and asking, "You mean... when he was drinking..."

"For specific questions, you can call Chief Huo. I won't go into details here."

With that, Gu Yanxiao turned to leave.

"Grandpa...Grandpa, please save me! I didn't do anything wrong! Gu Yanxiao must have framed me on purpose!"

Gu Yanfeng was unwilling to be taken away by Gu Yanxiao and the others, so he immediately struggled and desperately called for help from Old Master Gu.

"Shut up!" Wang Jian and the others looked at Gu Yanfeng with disgust and dragged him out.

The person who killed their comrade deserves to be executed ten times over. How can he have the nerve to say that the division commander framed him?

"Yan Xiao..."

Grandpa Gu called out to Gu Yanxiao directly.

His aged eyes were now bloodshot.

"Yan Feng... he's still your brother, can you..."

Old Master Gu knew very well that the friendship he had with Huo Chang'an and Feng Yuanzheng had long been used up and exhausted when he helped Gu Yanfeng clean up his messes time and time again.

On the contrary, Gu Yanxiao is currently in the army and has a very promising future.

Huo Chang'an and Feng Yuanzheng, however, valued Gu Yanxiao highly.

If he were willing to plead for Gu Yanfeng, Huo Chang'an and the others would definitely do Gu Yanxiao a favor.

Even if they can't get Gu Yanfeng completely out of trouble, they can at least give him a lighter punishment.

"Commander Gu."

Gu Yanxiao interrupted Old Master Gu before he could finish speaking.

He looked at Old Master Gu with eyes full of disappointment. This was the elder he respected and admired most during his youth.

He grew up listening to Grandpa Gu recount his wartime stories from his youth.

From a young age, a belief took root in his heart.

I aspire to become someone like Grandpa Gu.

Go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve your country.

They dedicated their youth and passion to the country and the people.

But now, this person he once respected most is asking him to plead for leniency for someone who leaked military secrets and caused the death of his comrade.

What a ridiculous thing this is.

"Yan Xiao, you are brothers, like siblings..."

"Chief Gu, do you know what secrets Gu Yanfeng has leaked?" Gu Yanxiao didn't want to hear him mention that Gu Yanfeng was his brother.

That would only make him feel disgusted.

Looking at his eldest grandson, whom he had raised with the strictest methods, Old Master Gu felt inexplicably nervous.

He stammered, "What...what did he reveal?"

Gu Yanxiao sneered and said, "The mission a few days ago was ruined because of his leak. We lost two comrades, seriously injured several others, and lost an expert who had returned from America to serve his country, who is still unconscious..."
