Chapter 389 is not what the action team needs.

Zheng Changqing asked, "Do many of you think this way?"

Sun Heng was also going all out, "Reporting, Captain, yes!"

Zheng Changqing continued, "Do you think you should be left behind?"

His two questions sounded like nonsense to Li Kai and Sun Heng.

"But!" Zheng Changqing suddenly raised his voice, "in my eyes, none of you are qualified!"

He ruthlessly denied all the efforts made by those who lost the election over the past two months.

Li Kai's eyes widened in anger, his chest heaving violently.

"Captain Zheng! Even if you are the captain of the action team, you cannot deny us without evidence!"

Not only was Li Kai angry, but everyone else was too.

Despite facing more than twenty questioning gazes, Zheng Changqing did not flinch.

"Alright. Then I'll give you the evidence you want."

Li Kai gritted his teeth and waited for him to continue.

At the same time, he was mentally prepared that if Zheng Changqing's reasons did not convince him, he would definitely go to the regimental commander to seek justice.

“Let’s start with Li Kai.” Zheng Changqing’s cold gaze locked onto him. “Your individual achievements are beyond doubt. As a top soldier in the regiment, you excel in every aspect.”

Hearing his affirmation, Li Kai felt even more certain that he had not done anything wrong.

But the next second, Zheng Changqing's tone changed, and his whole demeanor became sharp.

"During the last mission, as the team leader, you abandoned your teammates at the beginning of the operation. No matter how outstanding your individual abilities are, you are not what the team needs!"

His words struck like a thunderbolt, instantly stunning the aggressive Li Kai.

Then came a long silence that lasted several seconds.

Li Kai impatiently tried to retort, "I didn't abandon the team members, it was Qian Wei who wanted to leave!"

So excited, even his voice trembled slightly.

"Whether he asked to leave voluntarily or left for some other reason, the fact remains that he left the team. As the team leader, you failed to address the root cause of his departure and allowed him to act on his own, which was a mistake!" Zheng Changqing's meaning was crystal clear.

Li Kai wanted to defend himself, but Zheng Changqing silenced him with just one sentence.

"I'm asking you, if that person wasn't Qian Wei, would you have let him leave the team and act on his own?"

Li Kai's head was buzzing; all his resentment turned into guilt because of this question.

The other people in his group at the time also had complicated expressions.

It wasn't Li Kai who made Qian Wei leave at that time, but he didn't try to stop Qian Wei from leaving.

At this moment, Zheng Changqing's sharp gaze was not only directed at Li Kai, but at everyone in their team.

"You see Qian Wei as a burden, and the best way to complete the mission is of course to get rid of this burden. But if this were a real battlefield, you would be abandoning your comrade. In such dire circumstances, if he were to leave the squad, he would certainly die!"

The words "abandoning comrades" are enough to send chills down the spines of everyone in the ranks.

silence.

A deathly silence.

Just moments ago, Li Kai was filled with righteous indignation; now, he felt utterly ashamed.

At that moment, he finally realized what a huge mistake he had made!
