Chapter 128 Listen to this, is he even speaking human language?
"ha?"
Zhizhi was a little confused. The pretty older sister who came with the hammer earlier was also called her aunt, and now this handsome uncle was also called her uncle.
But she remembers that they were both Grandpa Ji's children, right?
Could it be that Grandpa Ji has adopted her as his granddaughter? Why didn't he inform her?
Never mind, never mind.
"Uncle~" Zhizhi grabbed Ji Yanjing's fingers with both hands and smiled sweetly, "Uncle Han bullied my dad, and he bullied me too! Uncle, stand up for me! You know, I've never had a mother around since I was little..."
She learned this line from the big color TV at home. Yuan Hui said it's called "green tea".
But Uncle Han spoke ill of Dad, and she didn't do anything wrong, did she?
As expected, Ji Yanjing not only fell for this act, but was also extremely protective of his own.
He turned and glanced at Han Yubin, whose face had turned ashen, and said in a nonchalant tone, "You're suspended from your duties to reflect on your actions."
"...Why?" Han Yubin's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he frantically tried to figure out his way out.
I should have gloated first; I never expected that Zhizhi would have Commander Ji's family backing her up.
But he didn't do anything wrong. Even a high-ranking leader can't just exercise power arbitrarily, right?
Jiang Anchao sneered from the side, "You still have the nerve to ask? Zhengyang was injured while on a mission and brought back for emergency treatment. The doctor declared him critically ill and said he needed penicillin. We knocked on your door so many times, but you wouldn't open it and almost delayed the emergency treatment. If this were wartime, you'd be executed a hundred times over!"
"What? It's not the child's meningitis, it's Li Zhengyang?!"
Han Yubin was truly stunned.
His eyes widened, and he was completely trapped in a dead end.
His weak and feeble explanation was, "I was drinking last night, I really didn't hear anything..."
"The responsibility of safeguarding medicines is enormous. Can you really shirk it by saying you were drunk?" Yuan Tengzhen added sarcastically from the side.
Han Yubin's face paled for a moment, but he still tried his best to explain, "Nobody knows that Zhengyang was injured. Otherwise, even if I were hit by a car today, I would crawl over here to sign the document for him! But... even if it was my mistake that I couldn't sign it in time, Jiang Anchao can't just overstep his bounds and make up a false statement. The former is a minor mistake, at most I'll write a self-criticism, but the latter is a matter of principle, which will result in a serious punishment!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yanjing's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Zhizhi mutter under her breath, "A dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water, and now she's trying to drag her dad down with her. What a piece of trash!"
Ji Yanjing frowned even more deeply.
What kind of education have these little brats received? How come the girls are so sharp-tongued every day? They're even more scathing than the men in the military.
He even suspected that she might poison herself by licking her lips.
"Han... Han Yubin, right?" Ji Yanjing looked down at the military doctor in front of him, gradually forming a judgment in his mind.
"You knew his special approval certificate was fake without even looking at it? Who gave you that confidence? If you had just glanced at it a couple more times, you would have noticed that the signature on it wasn't yours. But you didn't look. You came here first thing this morning to see this stunt. It's hard not to suspect that you deliberately pretended not to hear last night, delaying your treatment!"
"In the military, subordinates are expected to obey superiors. Although you and Regiment Commander Jiang are not in the same rank system, his rank is much higher than yours. How can you speak like that? Do you have any respect for military discipline?"
"Chief of Staff... I... I'm sorry, it was my mistake."
Han Yubin backed down; he was completely defenseless and couldn't understand why his boss was no longer buying his act.
He desperately wanted to surrender, hoping to minimize his mistakes.
But Ji Yanjing is a very self-disciplined person. The subordinates under his command are all tough and elite soldiers. People like Han Yubin, who only know how to flatter their leaders, are the ones he despises the most.
To deal with someone who only knows how to flatter and fawn, he would treat them like a troublemaker and teach them a lesson they won't forget.
Ji Yanjing gave Yuan Tengzhen a look, "Call Commander Tian for me later. I need to see for myself in Suzhou how you manage your troops and how these crooked practices can be so prevalent!"
Yuan Tengzhen was under immense pressure, but he could only nod in agreement.
"yes!"
Ji Yanjing turned his head and gave Han Yubin a meaningful smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes; instead, it had a scrutinizing quality to it.
"Didn't you say you'd crawl here even if you got hit by a car? Luckily, I have a car..."
Han Yubin's face turned deathly pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably, as if he wanted to collapse and kneel on the ground.
"Chief of Staff, please! I... I really know I was wrong. I promise it will never happen again. I'm suspended from duty, and I'll reflect on my actions!"
“I didn’t intend to hit you.” Ji Yanjing clicked his tongue lightly. “Find a tow rope and tie it around your waist. Tow my car from the military region to the entrance of the military hospital. If you can finish within an hour, I can overlook your mistake. If you can’t finish, then you can take off your uniform and get out of here. The military doesn’t need cowards!”
Han Yubin was completely dumbfounded.
That's a vehicle; even soldiers who train year-round might not be able to do it. Isn't this just deliberately making things difficult for him?
But he couldn't not do it; if he really didn't, he would only face certain death.
Han Yubin opened his mouth, wanting to plead for mercy.
Ji Yanjing chuckled to himself, his eyes filled with icy coldness and murderous intent, yet his tone remained unusually calm.
Like the final, agonizing cut of a slow slicing torture, "I forgot to tell you, that certificate was issued by me personally..."
Senior officers in the Beijing military have the authority to inspect and coordinate with local military regions, and can even issue orders to a certain extent.
Han Yubin's swaggering around here is, to put it bluntly, a sign that he was already awake last night, but he was pretending to be stupid in order to come here and kick someone when they're down.
Delaying the execution of a dangerous mission and endangering the lives of comrades is unforgivable!
Shifting the blame to colleagues is even more despicable!
Such a grown man, constantly threatening a cute, pitiful, and quiet little girl, is utterly despicable!
Yuan Tengzhen had already sensed what his superiors meant, so he patted Han Yubin on the shoulder and pushed him out of the military hospital.
Only Jiang Anchao, Ji Yanjing, and the little cub remained in the corridor.
Jiang Anchao's gaze was complicated, if he hadn't misunderstood.
Chief of Staff Ji didn't seem to care who he was, and he wasn't trying to get revenge for himself.
He seemed, perhaps, probably... to use Han Yubin's weakness as leverage to vent his anger on his daughter.
Huh? What kind of family does Zhizhi's biological mother come from, from Commander Ji to Miss Ji Yining, and now Ji Yanjing, the top official of the Beijing District?
These people are all experts at protecting their own, aren't they?
"Chief of Staff... you and my daughter must have something to talk about, or... well, I'll go out first?"
Jiang Anchao, with a try-it-out mentality, politely said a few words to appease the crowd.
He knew very well that Ji Yanjing wouldn't really let him leave. After all, he was still the child's legal father, and he would probably just exchange pleasantries and then send this big shot away.
The moment he finished speaking, Ji Yanjing nodded unexpectedly.
"Okay, you can go first. Close the door behind you when you leave. I need to have a good talk with Ji Zhizhi."
