When Commander Lu gave the order, Zhang Ming wouldn't dare disobey even if he had a thousand lives. He quickly summoned two orderly soldiers to help Xue Yanchen clean up and change his clothes.
While the orderly was cleaning and changing Xue Yanchen's clothes, everyone else naturally had to step outside.
Commander Lu was furious. He first questioned Division Commander Li: "Old Li, tell me what's going on? The matter of Battalion Commander Xue hasn't been investigated yet. Is he a criminal? Why are you treating him like this? Even if he is a criminal, we have no right to subject him to such inhumane torture."
Division Commander Li was slightly flustered: "Commander, these were done by my men, I had no idea about them."
He immediately called out to Zhang Ming and Chen Jing: "Did I tell you two to guard Battalion Commander Xue to mistreat him?"
Zhang Ming and Chen Jing were speechless. They could tell that Commander Li disliked Xue Yanchen, but Commander Li had not given any explicit orders to mistreat Xue Yanchen.
The two of them kept their heads down and didn't speak.
"So, this was your personal behavior."
Chen Jing was not as ruthless as Zhang Ming. Now that he had been captured by the army commander, he had to do his best to protect himself and mitigate his mistakes.
“Reporting to the two leaders, most of the mistreatment of Comrade Xue Yanchen was done by Company Commander Zhang. I only made a few sarcastic remarks and even helped him tie up Battalion Commander Xue. The rest was done by Zhang Ming alone. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Comrade Xue Yanchen yourself. I am willing to take responsibility for the dirty deeds I have done.”
"Nonsense! This is outrageous!" Commander Lu was furious. "I never expected something like this to happen here."
He glanced at Commander Li unconsciously. Would Zhang Ming and Chen Jing, two mere company commanders, dare to do such a thing without the encouragement of higher-ups?
Division Commander Li said, "Comrade Corps Commander, please calm down. They both made a mistake, and I will punish them according to military regulations."
Luo Jingyan felt it was too lenient; military regulations only stipulated corporal punishment, demotion, or at most, discharge from the military.
"Comrade Commander, those two have abused and beaten Comrade Xue Yanchen, inflicting double torture on his body and mind, and causing him a double blow. I believe they have not only violated military regulations but may also have broken the law. Please send Comrade Xue Yanchen to the hospital so that the doctor can conduct an injury assessment and give Comrade Xue Yanchen justice."
Even if the military and the law punish those two bastards, she won't let them get away with it.
