Chapter 287 Reasonable and Compliant

"Zhou Zhenxing, how dare you cause trouble outside the brigade commander's office? Are you tired of living?!"

Shi Kang angrily rebuked them. This was no exaggeration. If things had really escalated back then, the guards would have been willing to open fire for the safety of their leader.

Fortunately, Wang Liang realized something was wrong and immediately detained him.

Zhou Zhenxing pursed his lips, looking at Shi Kang and Song Yuping, and finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Commander, Deputy Commander, I just wanted to ask Brigade Commander Xiao why I wasn't allowed to serve as the chief instructor of the action team. I didn't mean to cause trouble!"

She emphasized this with a sense of grievance at the end.

"You're so stubborn. Wasn't I clear enough before?" Shi Kang had led countless soldiers, but he was definitely the only one as obstinate as him.

Song Yuping knew that Shi Kang was furious, and he also knew that if he didn't explain things clearly to Zhou Zhenxing, Shi Kang would still be upset and might continue to cause trouble.

"Commander, calm down first, let me talk to him."

As she spoke, she brewed tea for Shi Kang and gestured for him to sit down and calm down.

After doing all this, he turned his serious gaze to Zhou Zhenxing and asked directly, "How did you know it was Commander Xiao's idea?"

Zhou Zhenxing didn't want to mention Lu Dong, after all, Lu Dong meant well.

"Deputy Commander, you don't need to hide it from me, I know."

When Song Yuping heard him say that, he didn't press further. Instead, he used just one sentence to instantly turn all of Song Yuping's excitement into tension and repression.

"Don't you really understand why the regiment won't allow you to serve as the chief instructor of the action team?"

His tone wasn't harsh, but his rhetorical question had a hidden meaning.

Zhou Zhenxing's heart skipped a beat, and his originally determined gaze began to waver.

"It was Commander Xiao's idea; he doesn't like me."

"Then let me ask you, why did Commander Xiao suddenly take a dislike to you? He never cared about your situation before." Song Yuping didn't say it directly, actually wanting to save face for him.

Zhou Zhenxing clenched his hands hanging by his sides. "I also want to know, what exactly did I do to offend him?"

Seeing that he showed no remorse whatsoever, Song Yuping became even more stern.

"Do I, the commander, need to remind you what your relationship is with Su Jin, who is currently training with the action team?"

Zhou Zhenxing's breath hitched, and his face immediately turned bright red.

In fact, subconsciously he had already sensed that it might be related to Su Jin, but he just didn't want to admit it.

Now that Song Yuping has pointed it out to his face, he wants to explain, but he can't utter a single word.

Song Yuping's voice was unusually serious, "It's understandable that you didn't know Su Jin was also in the action team before and couldn't understand the leader's arrangement. But now that you've clearly seen Su Jin, you're still chasing after the team to ask why she can't be the chief instructor of the action team. Don't you think that's going too far?"

Zhou Zhenxing was so bored from the questioning that he could no longer breathe steadily.

“I… Su Jin and I were husband and wife before, but we are divorced. I can keep my personal and professional life separate.”

He began to explain, albeit with difficulty and panic.

At this moment, both Song Yuping and Shi Kang looked at him with disappointment.

"Whether you can do it or not, the military has its own regulations. It is reasonable and in accordance with the law that neither Brigade Commander Xiao nor the regiment allows you to stay in the action team."
