Under Wang Zheng's repeated questioning, Tang Guoan's expression subtly changed, and his eyes became somewhat evasive.
Wang Zheng immediately realized that the capital city must have made an assessment of his principal's injuries, and most likely had already given up on Chu Tianxing, this rare master with three attributes who had transcended the mortal realm.
However, Wang Zheng did not give up and continued to unleash his full power.
"Although I, Wang Zheng, am just a nobody with no great abilities, at least I'm willing to risk my life to save those who are good to me."
I would pay any price to help him recover from his injuries, but how did the military region treat such a meritorious person as the principal?
Over the years, the country has accumulated countless rare and precious materials in the capital. Regardless of whether these things are useful or not, it's been more than a month, and there hasn't even been a basic greeting. This shouldn't be the case.
Is this how the state treats a hero who shed blood for the frontier?
I know why I went to all this trouble to get these 'big shots' to come to southern Beijing to see me. It's all about national interests, isn't it? Ha…”
Tang Guoan's face turned somewhat ugly upon hearing Wang Zheng's barrage of questions and sarcastic remarks.
Although he could be considered a high-ranking official at the headquarters of the China Military Region, he was only a major general and had no real say in the matter.
In this world-class city, the highest-level city in all of China, integrating military, political, economic and cultural functions, he can only be considered a small cog in the machine of this country, at most a little larger than an ordinary cog.
He was unaware of any special arrangements the government had made for Chu Tianxing's injuries, nor had he taken the initiative to inquire about them.
Not to mention that the higher-ups' decisions will not change at all because of his reaction, and even if he speaks out, it may not make any difference.
Moreover, it wasn't like Chu Tianxing's friends within the military region hadn't suggested that such a hero should be saved at all costs!
In the end, it was all suppressed and left unresolved...
Now that Wang Zheng's demands have been made public, and these are things that he simply cannot promise, Tang Guoan remains silent and does not respond at all, no matter how much Wang Zheng ridicules him.
At worst, if the mission fails and he has to go home, he can just mention in his report that the Jingnan Military Region is not cooperating and is unwilling to hand over the Heavenly Demon.
As for the so-called cooperation, that was the research institute's mission, and what did it have to do with him, a major general in the Imperial Capital Military Region?
In any case, the research institute is the one that will cooperate with Wang Zheng, and the one that opposes allocating a lot of resources to Chu Tianxing for treatment is the institute's superior, the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There must be someone more anxious than him at this time.
Sure enough, just as Tang Guoan closed his eyes to rest, Huo Lianrong's aloof persona crumbled.
The thought of having to go back if the negotiations broke down, and that the mission would fail before he even saw what Wang Zheng's "spiritual energy grenade" looked like, filled him with resentment.
However, being poor at expressing himself, he couldn't find a suitable way to say it.
In the end, he could only anxiously tug at Tang Guoan's sleeve.
"Old Tang, Old Tang, say something, please say something..."
Seeing that Tang Guoan remained silent with a thick skin, Wang Zheng's eyes darted around, and he suddenly remembered the message he had received a few days ago.
So he slowly and deliberately picked at the dust under his fingernails, and continued seemingly casually:
"I am good friends with Division Commander Xu Zhihong of Yunnan and also acquainted with Commander Fu Zhenfeng of the Baoshan Military Command. I heard that Commander Fu made a scene in the capital a few days ago over the distribution of supplies and reconstruction in Yunnan."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Grandpa Fu is truly fierce! By the way, Principal, in the title 'Thunder and Fire Twin Blades,' thunder comes first, then fire. You've been surpassed."
Chu Tianxing was already used to Wang Zheng's instigation. He just snorted and kept in mind the six-word negotiation mantra that Wang Zheng had taught him: Don't talk, act like a master!
Ignoring Tang Guoan, who was already sweating profusely, Wang Zheng continued:
"General Tang, rest assured, although my father and I were not drawn into this disaster voluntarily, and we are not locals of Yunnan."
However, I chose to help out voluntarily and never intended to use these credits to coerce anyone, much less spread such disheartening news.
I'm not saying this to seek credit or reward, but simply to hope that the military region will take this seriously and not let the patriotic fervor of people like us turn cold.
Imagine if this incident were to spread, would anyone still be willing to step forward in times of national crisis? If everyone chooses to protect themselves in the face of danger, will there still be any true Chinese men left?
So, what I really want to know is this: is the capital city going to take any action regarding our principal's injury?
Hearing Wang Zheng argue for him, and knowing that Wang Zheng not only did his best for the school but also cared more about his injuries than anyone else, Chu Tianxing was deeply moved.
The old man considered calling Wang Zheng back, but in the end, all his worries turned into a heavy sigh, followed by a gentle pat on the shoulder.
When Tang Guoan heard Wang Zheng mention him by name, and even bring up Fu Zhenfeng's case as an example, his expression changed drastically.
Although he didn't know how Wang Zheng learned about this, it was clear that the Imperial Capital Military Region's secrecy work was inadequate.
At the same time, he also knew that if he didn't handle things well today, this kid in front of him might actually take Chu Tianxing directly to the Imperial Capital Military Region to play the victim.
If these two Grandmasters, Qi Shangdi, were to demand an explanation during the Lunar New Year, and Wang Zheng, this hothead, were to expose everything, then the credibility of the Chinese military would truly plummet.
