...
A few minutes later, the canteen at the outpost became crowded, and the huge canteen was packed with people.
While Jiang Chu and the others were still eating, two high-ranking military officers walked into the canteen.
One of the tall officers pointed at Jiang Chu and the others, and then the shorter officer nodded and quickly walked towards Jiang Chu.
When Jiang Chu saw the short man, he immediately had a feeling of déjà vu.
This person is around 35 years old, and is estimated to be only about 1.65 meters tall. He is very thin.
The man stared at Jiang Chu with a sinister gaze, like a vulture.
He approached Jiang Chu, head bowed, looking down at Jiang Chu with a gloomy expression, his brows furrowed in a frown.
The tall officer beside him snapped, "Don't you know how to salute your superior?"
The soldiers around him who were eating were all stunned, and their eyes all fell on Jiang Chu.
"How did this guy offend this major?"
"I don't know!"
"Wow, the guy next to that major is actually a colonel! Wow, that's impressive!"
Seeing this, Ouyang Nan and Luo Xiaonan couldn't help but try to stand up, but Jiang Chu pressed them down.
Jiang Chu sneered, "Trying to play bureaucratic game with me? Who do you think you are?"
Jiang Chu didn't even stand up before coldly saying, "Put away your arrogance and don't try to play games with me! Have you forgotten Article 15 of the Military Restraint Regulations?"
The tall officer was stunned.
"Article 15 of the 'Regulations on Military Advisors' prohibits superior officers from provoking, intimidating, or subjecting subordinate officers to private punishment without cause. Violators will be given a warning, and those who commit serious offenses will be punished in accordance with the military regulations of the Hidden Dragon Alliance."
Ouyang Nan also didn't stand up, but merely glanced disdainfully at the tall officer and said, "Major, have you forgotten the regulations? These are basic military theory requirements that you're supposed to memorize in high school! They're essential for the college entrance exam!"
"You..." The tall officer was so angry that his face turned red, but he was powerless to refute.
Damn it, this batch of recruits is really not tough!
The shorter man waved to the taller man, signaling him to calm down, then tilted his head to look Jiang Chu up and down, saying, "Your name is Jiang Chu? Do you know who I am?"
"Yes." Jiang Chu nodded, but didn't stand up. "What's your relationship with Li Lin?"
Jiang Chu did not stand up because the other party was aggressive and had made intimidating moves.
Jiang Chu wouldn't give face to someone like that, not even if he were a colonel or a general.
Upon hearing the name "Li Lin," Luo Xiaonan and Luo Xiaobei immediately became alert, their gazes immediately falling on the man's face.
"Jiang Chu, do you need my help?" Luo Xiaonan asked, while glaring at the colonel with a wary look.
“No need, I’ll talk to the colonel. He should be a reasonable person. He knows what happened before, and I was the victim.” Jiang Chu said bluntly.
The colonel was stunned for a moment...
He came here today specifically because of Li Lin's matter. To be precise, his purpose in coming here was to find a way to provoke Jiang Chu, make Jiang Chu lose his temper, and say things that were detrimental to him.
In this way, the colonel would have a clear objective and could exonerate Li Lin.
However, the colonel did not expect that as soon as Jiang Chu saw him, he not only did not avoid the topic of Li Lin, but also brought up Li Lin himself before the colonel could even mention it!
Did this kid have something planned in advance?
The colonel carefully examined Jiang Chu.
After all, Jiang Chu was too young. He didn't think Jiang Chu had any cunning. Even if he did, could he compare to him, an old hand?
So the colonel stopped trying to hide it.
“My name is Cui Kai, and I am Li Lin’s uncle. I am the deputy chief of staff of the Tiangangye District Command, and I am in charge of District 3.”
"Nice to meet you," Jiang Chu said calmly.
"The matter of Li Lin is still under investigation. If we find out that you maliciously killed Li Lin, I will never let you off the hook!" Cui Kai lowered his voice, but Jiang Chu and the others still heard the intimidating and threatening tone in his words.
The soldiers at the next table were whispering among themselves, all looking at Jiang Chu with pity.
"So he's in charge of Zone 3!"
"Damn it, looks like this guy's going to get himself into trouble with that guy surnamed Cui!"
"I suggest this guy give up on Zone 3 and just play it safe and develop his character!"
"That's hard to say. Since he's the deputy chief of staff, he must be coordinating with other regions. As long as this guy doesn't leave Tianzhou, he won't be able to get anywhere!"
At this moment, Jiang Chu's comrades-in-arms were getting impatient, especially several of them who came from powerful and influential families.
Ouyang Nan stood up, pointed at the other person, and angrily said, "Who do you think you are, flaunting your official power? My father..."
"Shut up." Before Ouyang Nan could speak, Jiang Chu said sharply, "Don't embarrass your father!"
"Uh..." Ouyang Nan was slightly taken aback, and after a long while, he cautiously said, "Brother, shouldn't it be 'Don't cause trouble for Dad'?"
"What trouble have you gotten yourself into?" Jiang Chu looked Cui Kai up and down and said, "Some people don't even realize they're about to die, yet they still have the nerve to threaten me?"
