Throughout the military, you could hear people talking about this everywhere.
"I heard that Commander Lu's face has healed?"
"It's not that his face is healed, it's that Lu Tuan is wearing a human skin mask. Let me tell you, that mask is so realistic. If Lu Tuan hadn't said he was wearing a mask, I guarantee no one would have been able to tell!"
"That powerful? Where did you get that human skin mask?"
"I heard it was Lu Tuan's wife who made it especially for him. If you ask me, Lu Tuan is really lucky; his wife is incredibly capable!"
"I remember Lu Tuan's wife, wasn't she a doctor at the military hospital? When Lu Tuan went on a mission, there might have been danger, and his wife went directly to the front line to support him. They were such a loving couple, it was so enviable!"
"And I've even met your wife! She's incredibly beautiful, and her relationship with Commander Lu is so sweet. She's a role model in our unit. Commander Lu is a true winner in life!"
"What 'life winner'? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? Lu Tuan can't have children, have you forgotten?"
"Sigh...that's true, but I don't think it's necessarily true. Think about it, we all thought Lu Tuan was disfigured before, but who would have thought that today? Not only have Lu Tuan's scars faded, but he also has a mask. This thing that can't be born might be cured someday?"
"I think so too. Don't forget, your sister-in-law is a doctor! Who knows, she might cure Lu Tuan one day!"
"Yes, I think you make a lot of sense..."
The discussion was so intense that it even alarmed the higher-ups.
Lu Zhengjun was already a prominent figure in the army, and his injury and disfigurement were considered a great pity by his superiors.
But when they heard that he had brought a human skin mask today, and that the mask was so realistic that no one could see through it, the superiors became interested.
"Commander Liao? What brings you here?" Zhao Yunshan immediately saluted Liao Dexian when he saw him.
Once someone reaches Liao Dexian's position, they won't be frequently seen in the military, and they won't even attend some ordinary meetings.
He appeared here because he overheard everyone talking about Lu Zhengjun's human skin mask. He immediately realized how much this thing could help the army, which piqued his interest, so he wanted to see it for himself and find out more about it.
"I've come to see Lu Zhengjun," Liao Dexian said.
"If you wanted to see the Emperor, you could have just sent him to see you. Why did you come in person?" Zhao Yunshan hurriedly called out.
They shared a dormitory room in the army and happened to run into Liao Dexian on the road.
"It's not work-related. I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd come and take a look," Liao Dexian said.
Zhao Yunshan knew perfectly well that it was most likely about the human skin mask. He and his brothers had talked about it in private, saying that the thing was too powerful and that their superiors would definitely come to ask what was going on.
Even someone as important as Commander Liao was alarmed.
The fact that Liao Dexian personally came to see Lu Zhengjun is enough to show how much he valued this human skin mask.
The brothers were initially worried that Lu Zhengjun's path to promotion might be fraught with obstacles after his injury, since soldiers with scars on their faces are easily remembered and many missions would be impossible for them to carry out.
Unexpectedly, they underestimated Lu Zhengjun.
"Come, come, please have a seat. I'll call him right away!"
"Zhengjun! Lu Zhengjun! Commander Liao is here!"
When Zhao Yunshan shouted, almost everyone in the dormitory building could hear it.
"The regiment commander is really impressive. He actually got Commander Liao to come directly to the dormitory building. He truly deserves to be called the King of Soldiers!"
"I always said that Regiment Commander Lu is my idol. No matter what, he will always be the best in our unit. Even Commander Liao admires him so much!"
"I heard it's because of the human skin mask!"
"Commander Liao went in! I'm so envious. Zhao Yunshan, who shares a dormitory with Regiment Commander Lu, is so lucky. He can brag about how the commander visited his dormitory!"
"Of course, why doesn't this kind of good thing fall into my lap?"
Just when everyone was envious, Liao Dexian met Lu Zhengjun, and sure enough, he had no scars on his face.
"Zhao Yunshan, you go out first. I have something to say to Lu Zhengjun." Commander Liao said, dismissing Zhao Yunshan and then asking Lu Zhengjun to sit down.
Zhao Yunshan: "..."
What's wrong? Can't he listen anymore?
"Yes, Commander Liao." Zhao Yunshan reluctantly went out, obediently closing the door behind him.
As soon as he came out, other curious people from next door quickly gathered around.
"Brother Yunshan, what does Commander Liao want with Regiment Lu?"
"Commander Liao actually came to the dormitory in person!"
"As expected of the Lu Regiment, even Commander Liao gives the Lu Regiment so much face. They're really amazing!"
Hearing others praise Lu Zhengjun and express their envy, Zhao Yunshan felt as if they were praising him, and he felt honored.
"Is this something you should be asking about? It must be because my brother did well, otherwise why would Commander Liao come looking for him personally?" Zhao Yunshan said smugly.
"I bet it's related to the human skin mask of the Lu Group!"
"I really envy Regiment Commander Lu. He married a beautiful and capable wife. Now even Commander Liao has come to see him personally!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunshan glared at the man and warned, "Don't even think about my sister-in-law. Is she someone you should be eyeing?"
"Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao, don't talk nonsense! How could I dare to covet Regiment Commander Lu's wife? I'm just saying that Regiment Commander Lu will marry her!" The other party quickly clarified. If Regiment Commander Lu misunderstood, how many lives could he afford to lose?
Amidst the murmurs outside the dormitory, a distorted face was squeezed into the crowd.
That man was Liu Dekai, who had come specifically to find out what was going on after hearing about the human skin mask and the appearance of Commander Liao.
Listening to everyone's discussions and feeling everyone's envy of Lu Zhengjun, Liu Dekai was consumed by jealousy. He gritted his teeth and stared at the closed dormitory door with hatred in his eyes.
Are those so-called human skin masks really that realistic and amazing?
Did Su Yueya really make it?
Commander Liao came in person just to discuss the human skin mask.
Liu Dekai refused to believe it; he preferred that it was all a misunderstanding, that Commander Liao had sought out Lu Zhengjun for something else—that must be it!
He was unwilling to accept the current situation. He wanted to wait and see the so-called human skin mask with his own eyes, otherwise he would never believe it!
Inside the dormitory, Commander Liao and Lu Zhengjun sat facing each other.
"Xiao Lu, don't be nervous. I'm not here for work-related reasons. I just heard about your human skin mask..."
Lu Zhengjun: "..." He's not nervous at all.
"I've heard everyone talking about how realistic your human skin mask is," Commander Liao said, staring intently at Lu Zhengjun's face. He realized he couldn't tell at all whether Lu Zhengjun was wearing a mask or not. "Little Lu, are you wearing it now?"
