Upon hearing this, the cadres below exchanged glances with each other in confusion.
Although they had heard the news a long time ago, they didn't expect it to happen so soon!
Shen Ao had only been in the army for a few days, and he had been promoted so quickly?
The most important thing is, Shen Ao is not even thirty years old yet, and he has become the battalion commander?
Wow, they get promoted faster than they can run!
I don't know what Captain Fang feels inside...
Everyone looked forward and saw Battalion Commander Fang sitting in the first seat to the left of Regiment Commander He. He folded his arms, his expression calm and expressionless, without any emotion showing.
Before the rumors of Shen Ao's promotion came out, Battalion Commander Fang was the youngest battalion commander in their unit!
He became a battalion commander in his early thirties, and the key point is that he is not married yet, but everyone is jealous of him.
Now Chen Ao is about to surpass Captain Fang to become the youngest battalion commander in the army. Although Captain Fang has no expression on his face, he must be feeling bad inside!
Everyone was thinking this in their hearts.
As for what Captain Fang was thinking, no one knew.
However, at the very end of the long table, Shen Ao and Yang Mingwu sat opposite each other.
Ever since Captain He announced the news, Yang Mingwu clenched his fists and felt extremely angry. However, he couldn't interrupt casually in this situation, so he could only force himself to sit here and listen quietly.
Unlike everyone else who looked at Chen Ao with envy in their eyes, Yang Mingwu looked at Chen Ao with unconcealable hatred in his eyes!
He has been eyeing the position of battalion commander in the army for a long time, and he is just waiting to win the title of Soldier King in the army competition this fall so that he can take this position naturally.
How come Shen Ao suddenly appeared and took the position he had always wanted?
"If no one objects, then this is settled..."
Just as Captain He was about to finish his words, someone suddenly knocked on the closed door of the conference room from outside.
"Is Captain He here? I'm from the county police, and I have something important to tell you."
Others might be unfamiliar with this voice, but Shen Ao was extremely familiar with it, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
Isn’t this Zhuang Yongliang’s voice?
Why is he here?
Somehow, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
Facing Zhuang Yongliang's request outside the door, Head He replied: "There's no rush. Let's talk about it after our meeting is over."
"Captain He, this is extremely urgent. The enemy spies from the mountains have reappeared! They've killed several police officers from our bureau."
"What?! Is this true? Come in and tell me."
After getting permission from Captain He, the door was pushed open from the outside and several men in police uniforms walked in. The leader was Director Zhuang Yongliang.
He was wearing a white police uniform and a pair of black leather shoes. He looked upright and dignified, and was quite pleasing to the eye.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhuang Yongliang first glanced at Shen Ao, who was sitting at the end of the long table, with a very complicated expression.
Then, he quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Captain He, saying slowly and sadly, "Captain He, the enemy spy leader who escaped earlier has committed another crime. Just this morning, he led his men to hijack the prison van, rescued Bai Mo and several smugglers, and caused heavy losses to our bureau. That's why I've come here specifically to ask for your cooperation in solving this case so that we can bring the criminals to justice as soon as possible!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present stood up, obviously shocked by the news.
They had heard something about a group of spies suddenly appearing in the county, and Shen Ao had the opportunity to be promoted because he discovered the spies stationed in the mountains and destroyed their evil plans.
It turned out to be a failure so quickly?
Everyone couldn't hide their gloating feelings and looked at Shen Ao frequently.
Shen Ao's eyes darkened as he was being watched by everyone.
However, he was not worried about his own career, but about Bai Ying.
He knew how much Bai Ying cared about her family. Now that Bai Mo had been captured by enemy spies, how should he explain this to Bai Ying?
"Bai Mo?"
The person who spoke was Yang Mingwu, "Isn't this man Shen Ao's brother-in-law? If Bai Mo is an enemy spy, then Captain Shen is..."
At the end, Yang Mingwu's tone couldn't help but become more playful.
He has been secretly getting along with Qiao Xiaoling for several months, and he knows a lot about the Bai family. He knows everything about Bai Ying's family, who is hated by Qiao Xiaoling!
Although he didn't know why Captain Wang didn't take out the letter of accusation he gave him today, he now saw the opportunity to directly expose Shen Ao's past, and Captain He didn't bother to argue with him!
"What? This..."
For a moment, everyone was shocked by the news and was at a loss as to what to do. The way they looked at Shen Ao became an all-round scrutiny, as if they wanted to torture him to death with their eyes.
Shen Ao, who was envied by everyone just now, became the target of public criticism in the blink of an eye.
Captain He didn't want to talk about Shen Ao's promotion anymore, so he said, "How about this, let's suspend today's meeting. Captain Shen just came back from the hospital and must be tired. Let him rest in the army for a while and wait until the military competition in the fall to discuss it."
Is this to put a stop to Shen Ao's promotion?
Everyone understood the implication. The cadres who were on good terms with Shen Ao felt rather sorry about this, while those who were at odds with Shen Ao were completely gloating over it.
"Then what about Captain Shen—no, what about Battalion Commander Shen's affairs in the army?" Battalion Commander Wang quickly stated, "The military district has already appointed him. If he continues to stay in my battalion as a small-time company commander, then... my job won't be easy to carry out."
