Liu Dekai harbored resentment, finding these people extremely annoying.
He hadn't even said anything yet, and these people were already rushing to stand up for Lu Zhengjun. Why should they?
Looking at these people, all of whom held higher positions than him, he felt a mixture of jealousy and anger. But no matter what, he wouldn't give up this perfect opportunity to mock Lu Zhengjun.
Liu Dekai didn't want to mock others secretly; he wanted to do it in front of so many people to maximize the effect.
"Commander Qiao, I don't know what grudge I have against you, nor do I know when I offended you. If I have unintentionally offended you, please forgive me. But right now, I really just want to say a few words to Commander Lu to express my concern and welcome," Liu Dekai said, his politeness impeccable.
Qiao Shouyan stepped forward, intending to make a move immediately—
He had wanted to teach this scumbag a lesson for a long time. Even if it wasn't for Lu Zhengjun, it was for his sister Su Yueya. Since he had delivered himself to his doorstep today, he shouldn't blame him for being ruthless!
Just as Qiao Shouyan was about to step in front of Zhao Yunshan and make a move against Liu Dekai, Lu Zhengjun, who had been silent all along, made her move.
He held down his brother-in-law, who was about to explode, with one hand, and patted Zhao Yunshan on the shoulder with the other.
"Calm down, everyone, don't act impulsively."
Liu Dekai deliberately chose a crowded place.
If they take the initiative to attack, they'll fall into a trap.
"Your Majesty, this bastard has ill intentions. We can't let him succeed!" Zhao Yunshan said, looking very worried.
Lu Zhengjun didn't care at all.
In his eyes, Liu Dekai was not even worthy of being his opponent, and he had no fear of him at all.
“I know what I’m doing,” Lu Zhengjun said to Zhao Yunshan, gesturing for him to step aside and leave the matter to him personally.
"I don't know when I became so close to Deputy Battalion Commander Liu that he would come all the way to welcome me?"
"Since you say you want to say a few words to me, fine, go ahead."
Lu Zhengjun looked like she was listening attentively.
Despite his disfigurement, he showed no sign of cowardice in his eyes or demeanor; he remained as poised and confident as ever.
However, Liu Dekai perceived this poise and generosity as arrogance and disrespect.
Liu Dekai hid his dissatisfaction and said with a smile, "I was just worried because I heard that Commander Lu was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread!"
Lu Zhengjun looked at him without saying a word.
Liu Dekai didn't need his response; his mockery was already prepared. He could put on a one-man show.
"I wanted to visit them in the hospital back then, but there were too many things to do in the army, so I couldn't get away... But our regiment is really amazing, it's only been... less than two months, right? Yes, our regiment members have recovered and are all back at the army base, congratulations!"
"It's just this scar on my face... sigh!" Liu Dekai looked regretful. "Is this scar on my face permanent? What a pity!"
“We wouldn’t say anything, but I’m thinking, you and your wife have been married for so long, you’ll have children sooner or later, won’t that scare your wife and the child?”
Liu Dekai was unaware that Lu Zhengjun was infertile. His words, while seemingly showing concern for her, were actually a subtle dig at her!
They say Lu Zhengjun has become an ugly monster!
Coupled with his fake smile, it made people even angrier.
Zhao Yunshan felt his fists harden.
Qiao Shouyan was also in a state of extreme discomfort. How dare this scumbag mention Su Yueya in front of him? He was asking for death!
If Lu Zhengjun hadn't stopped them, the two of them would already be teaching the reckless Liu Dekai a lesson.
Lu Zhengjun, the person being ridiculed, didn't take Liu Dekai's mockery seriously at all; he even laughed.
"Haha... Deputy Battalion Commander Liu is really overthinking it."
Isn't it just that I want to see him suffer?
Unfortunately, Liu Dekai's words missed the mark, but Lu Zhengjun didn't care at all; he was very confident now.
Su Yueya has already told him about the existence of the space, so why would she dislike him?
"This scar, although it looks terrible, what man makes a living based on his looks? At least I, Lu Zhengjun, have never relied on my looks... Oh right, I forgot."
“Deputy Battalion Commander Liu is different from a rough guy like me. After all, wasn’t it his good looks that allowed him to marry Brigade Commander Mo’s daughter?”
"Speaking of which, I'd also like to kindly remind Deputy Battalion Commander Liu that a marriage based on looks is unstable, and a position gained through nepotism is even more unstable!"
"We men should be down-to-earth and rely on our abilities to get things done; that's the most reliable way."
“I understand why Deputy Battalion Commander Liu is so concerned about his appearance, but after all, good looks don’t last forever, and sooner or later everyone will grow old and lose their beauty…”
Lu Zhengjun spoke these words quite loudly, and not only those standing nearby heard them clearly, but also the soldiers watching from afar, and many of them expressed their agreement!
"Yes, Commander Lu is right. That Liu Dekai got promoted to deputy battalion commander by relying on his father-in-law's connections, and now he thinks everyone is like him? How ridiculous!"
“Lu Tuan is the real hero. How dare someone like him get involved?”
"You know what? I saw him arguing with his wife before. Wow, he had no dignity at all. He didn't dare to talk back. He's such a disgrace to men!"
"Isn't it against the rules for Commander Mo to openly favor his son-in-law like this? Is it fair to us?"
"Is he here to welcome Commander Lu, or to make sarcastic remarks? Commander Lu was injured while on a mission, how can he do this?"
Because of their large numbers, the people didn't hold back when they talked, and all of their words reached Liu Dekai's ears.
He was so angry he almost ground his back teeth to powder.
Liu Dekai glared at Lu Zhengjun, his eyes practically spitting fire!
Unfortunately, Qiao Shouyan and Zhao Yunshan added fuel to the fire.
"Liu Dekai, don't let me hear Yueya's name from your mouth again, or I'll beat you every time I see you," Qiao Shouyan warned in a deep voice.
"Don't you know who you are? You're just a deputy battalion commander. How can you be so familiar with Zhengjun? What are you doing here, like a weasel paying respects to a chicken? Do you even have the right to speak?" Zhao Yunshan directly mocked.
Liu Dekai: "..."
He glared at Lu Zhengjun resentfully, but he never expected that his supposedly powerful sarcasm would not only fail to hurt Lu Zhengjun, but would instead become a source of humiliation for him. How could he not be angry?
Ever since he learned that Lu Zhengjun was injured, Liu Dekai had been looking forward to this day.
But that's all?
"Does Deputy Battalion Commander Liu have anything else to say?" Lu Zhengjun asked, seemingly unaffected. "If I have nothing to say, I'm leaving now. I still need to report the mission to my superiors."
