Enlistment... Desertion...
Having made some guesses beforehand, I roughly understand what's going on.
"Captain Song, do you know who the director of the Jingcheng branch of the Martial Law Bureau is?" Shen Qian put down the documents and looked up to ask.
"It seems his surname is Zhao, and if I remember correctly, his name should be Zhao Guangshou," Song Ye recalled and said.
"Then that's it."
"What do you mean?" Song Ye was taken aback.
“My dad had a former colleague in Lucheng named Zhao Guangzhi. About two months ago, my dad invited him and his son Zhao Xin to our home and asked him for a favor: he wanted to find a way for me to join the army…” Shen Qian explained.
"Wait a minute." Song Ye interrupted Shen Qian, asking in confusion, "Ordinary troops?"
"Well, my dad didn't make any requests; any army is fine with him."
"With your talent, why would you want to take this path?"
Song Ye asked incredulously, "You'd be more than qualified to get into any of the three top martial arts universities, right? Even an ordinary martial arts university would be a better career path than this, wouldn't it?"
Song Ye really couldn't understand it.
There was a question he had been holding back from asking Shen Qian.
That is how he managed to win a great victory despite being surrounded by powerful figures from the Martial Arts Bureau with only one broken leg.
Chai Mu led six men, making a total of seven, all of whom were seriously injured.
Two of them are still in critical condition, and it is unknown whether they will survive.
It's just that Chai Mu seemed to have brought some kind of healing medicine, which allowed him to persevere; otherwise, he would probably be lying in the hospital right now.
Among them, there are two beginner martial artists of the first stage, four beginner martial artists of the second stage, and Chai Mu's cultivation level is... beginner martial artist of the third stage!
That's simply...outrageous!
Song Ye couldn't find a suitable adjective for a moment; only these two words flashed through his mind.
Just a month or two ago, Shen Qian had a physical examination at the police station because of the scavenger case. He remembered it clearly; at that time, Shen Qian's explosive strength was around 130 kg. It hasn't been that long...
I can't figure it out, I just can't figure it out.
Faced with Song Ye's question, Shen Qian didn't know how to explain for a moment.
When he tried to get into the army through connections, his system hadn't awakened yet; he was still just an average guy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to go through all that trouble.
It can only be said that everything was a twist of fate.
Fortunately, seeing that Shen Qian remained silent, Song Ye did not press the matter further and instead asked, "So you received your enlistment notice because you used connections back then?"
"Yes and no, I guess."
Seeing Song Ye's confusion, Shen Qian thought for a moment and said, "Although we did use connections at the time, Zhao Guangzhi said on the spot that the chances were slim."
How much money was given?
"Twenty thousand."
“That’s true.” Song Ye nodded. “My second uncle’s child also went through connections, asking the person in charge directly. The cost wouldn’t be less than 100,000.”
Then Song Ye pondered, "If that's the case, how did you receive the enlistment notice? And judging from your expression, you don't seem to know... Wait, you said the person your father contacted was named Zhao Guangzhi, and the head of the Military Law Bureau was named Zhao Guangshou, could it be..."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Guangshou should be Zhao Xin's uncle, and I have some past grievances with Zhao Xin..."
Shen Qian then recounted his two previous conflicts with Zhao Xin, and finally added, "If I remember correctly, according to the information given to me by General Manager Zhu of Kyushu Martial Arts Hall, Zhao Xin also has a cousin who works in your Police and Armed Forces Bureau."
When Zhu Deyong called Shen Qian, he mentioned that Zhao Guangshou was the director of a certain branch bureau. Shen Qian, who didn't hear clearly at the time, thought the other party was the director of the police and armed forces bureau.
Song Ye remained silent for a long time, only picking up a pen and paper and scribbling away. After about five minutes, Song Ye tossed the pen aside, rubbed his temples, and said, "If what you said is true, I roughly understand what's going on."
"When I saw those documents just now, I had my own guesses as well." Shen Qian rubbed his temples.
"After you completely offended Zhao Xin, they first used their connections to successfully get you a spot in the army, then used some means to block the notification, causing you to miss the enlistment time without your knowledge. Finally, they used this as a reason to give the Armed Police Bureau a legitimate excuse to arrest you."
Song Ye revealed the truth of his guess, which was similar to what Shen Qian had thought.
"Simply put, this is the Zhao family's revenge. The cause may have been Zhao Xin, but such a meticulous revenge plan could not have come from a high school student."
Who exactly was behind it was no longer important to Shen Qian; what he cared about now was how to break the deadlock.
"Captain Song, can you clear my name?" Shen Qian asked directly.
"It's difficult."
Song Ye stated frankly, "The reason I said this plan was meticulous is because it is a series of interconnected steps."
"How so?" Due to his limited knowledge, Shen Qian knew that there might be some aspects he was unaware of.
"First of all, you can't prove that you didn't know about the enlistment notice, and I guess your information was sent by you or your dad at that time. They definitely have a way to prove that your enlistment was voluntary."
"Secondly, it's still the biggest problem: you resisted arrest and seriously injured law enforcement officers. Two of them are still being treated in the hospital and their lives are in danger."
Song Ye raised his hand, stopping Shen Qian.
“I know what you’re trying to say. Their vague identities are a flaw, but it’s just as hard for you to prove. The fact is that you severely injured them all, and that’s enough for them to stick to.”
He fell silent before sinking down.
"There's another crucial question, I wonder if you've thought about it before, Shenqian?" Song Ye suddenly sighed.
