Chapter 211 The Capital City Reply Letter: High-Profile Protection of Jiang'an Court
Han Yubin looked at Yuan Tengzhen with a forced smile.
He remained silent, and Yuan Tengzhen naturally swallowed his pleas for leniency.
Han Yubin adjusted his glasses before speaking coldly, "With such a huge scandal, the Suzhou Military Reserve cannot protect him. I will formally submit a written application to the higher authorities to temporarily detain him. However... personally, I feel that such a major scandal is extremely detrimental to the image of the military. We all serve the people; if someone of questionable character emerges from among the masses, it'll be quite unpleasant to hear the news..."
Yuan Tengzhen clenched his fists tightly at his sides. "So, what do you plan to do...?"
“Execute him secretly. Once he’s dead, things will be much easier. I’ll detain him temporarily. No matter what means you use, as long as you kill him, this matter will be over. Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?”
"How can that be?" Yuan Tengzhen's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but retort, "No matter how big the mistake Jiang Anchao made, it's not like we can ask for a wall, is it?!"
"If you can't do it, then you're dismissed and go back to farming!"
Han Yubin snatched the pistol from Yuan Tengzhen's waist and turned around, intending to vent his anger.
Yuan Tengzhen panicked and, disregarding the consequences, rushed forward to stop him.
The two started fighting again, and Han Yubin punched him viciously.
He quickly cocked the gun, the dark muzzle pointing directly at Yuan Tengzhen.
"So you're fucking blind, huh? Do you need me to teach you how to be a decent human being?"
"Who are you going to teach a lesson about life?"
Behind Han Yubin, out of his sight, came an elderly voice, followed by Ji Zeguo pressing down on his shoulder.
Han Yubin turned around and met the other person's gaze directly.
He was an exceptionally perceptive person; the moment he saw Ji Zeguo, he immediately recognized the man's identity.
Han Yubin quickly withdrew his hand, his eyes filled with unconcealed panic.
"Commander Ji?"
Ji Zeguo gave him a cold look, his tone becoming more forceful and authoritative, "I heard you're a special commissioner sent down from Beijing. What a big shot! Weren't you a military doctor in the Suzhou war zone before? How come you've suddenly become a phoenix just because you've got a chicken feather stuck in your head? Showing off in front of the political commissar, are you even worthy of that level?"
Han Yubin's forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. He reached up and wiped it away, then subconsciously lowered his head.
"Commander, I did all this for the sake of our military region. Jiang Anchao maliciously impersonated someone else. The two brothers took advantage of the unclear information, with the younger brother switching places with the older brother to join our army. At best, it's just one person being lazy and selfish, and the other taking their place. But at worst, they're infiltrating the army with a false identity. Who knows what kind of huge conspiracy is behind this?!"
As Han Yubin spoke, his emotions got the better of him.
He stepped forward first, looking directly into Commander Ji's eyes, "If this matter concerning Jiang Anchao blows up and the Suzhou Daily spreads it, not only will Yuan Tengzhen lose his position as political commissar, but even you probably won't be able to escape unscathed!"
The moment he finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Ji Zeguo narrowed his eyes and quietly stared at the shifty-eyed man in front of him.
After a long pause, he leaned on his cane, but his voice was strong and clear.
"Bullshit!"
"The soldiers under my command are the same ones who crossed Zhennanguan with me, clearing out enemy forces and retreating inch by inch to guard the national border. Not to mention the distant past, this March, the entire Suzhou war zone was mobilized to Yunnan and Zhennanguan. In those self-defense counterattacks, Jiang Anchao was awarded a second-class merit. At that time, he went deep into the jungle alone. The female soldiers there had a huge advantage. He was almost stabbed through the heart, but he still risked his life to complete the mission. You're telling me that he risked his life to get that merit just to find out the inside story of the army?"
"On September 17, 1979, Beijing issued a list of 52 heroic and exemplary units, one of which was our side. The Suzhou War Preparedness Zone was able to receive this honor, and he also participated. Such an ambitious and brave soldier, who was willing to dedicate all his strength to protecting national security, are you implying to me that he is an enemy agent?"
The sarcasm in Ji Zeguo's eyes couldn't be clearer.
He gave a signal, and the soldiers behind him quickly surrounded Han Yubin.
"I'm telling you right now, Jiang Anchao rose from the ranks under my command. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens to him. You can't touch him."
Ji Zeguo took out the written reply letter that he had already applied for.
He raised it in front of Han Yubin.
"Open your dog eyes and look carefully. This is a reply from the central government. Comrade Jiang Anchao's honor is irrevocable. The mistakes he made need to be transferred to the military court in Beijing for review. As for you... ...just a mere special commissioner. Go cool off somewhere else and don't let me see you in the army!"
