When Wen Ziqing first arrived at the Northern Military Region, Zhu Zhenhua looked down on him. Zhu Zhenhua thought Wen Ziqing, like his father, Wen Yulong, had come to the Northern Military Region deliberately to gain experience.
After several months of getting to know each other, Zhu Zhenhua's opinion of Wen Ziqing had changed considerably. After all, Wen Ziqing's achievements were there. He was nothing like his "bearish" father, Wen Yulong.
Over the past few months, Wen Ziqing's team has faced Zhu Zhenhua's ace team several times, and they haven't lost a single time. That's not all. A few days ago, Wen Ziqing led a hostage rescue mission to Eastern Province, which not only successfully completed, but also destroyed a major criminal den, exposing a major social cancer.
These achievements time and time again made Zhu Zhenhua look at Wen Ziqing with admiration.
Zhu Zhenhua had just submitted his report requesting Wen Ziqing's meritorious service a few days earlier, and before it even received its approval, so many messages about Wen Ziqing had already appeared in the military district. If any of these things were true, Wen Ziqing's efforts might have been in vain. Alas! Zhu Zhenhua still hoped to cultivate the youngest general under his command during his lifetime!
Accepting gifts from his own soldiers? Violating discipline during a mission? Treating corrupt mid-level officers to a feast? Wen Ziqing, Wen Ziqing, have you lost your mind? How dare you make such an obvious mistake? The people's army simply cannot tolerate such crooked practices.
Zhu Zhenhua stroked his crew cut and paced around the office in anger, unable to sit still.
"Report." The voice of guard Xiao Wang sounded outside the door.
"Come in." Zhu Zhenhua suppressed the rage in his heart and sat back in the chair behind the desk.
The door opened and Xiao Wang and Wen Ziqing came in.
"Hello, Chief!" Wen Ziqing saluted Zhu Zhenhua.
"Xiao Wang, please go out for a while." Zhu Zhenhua waved his hand and sent Xiao Wang away.
Before leaving, Xiao Wang looked at Wen Ziqing, who was standing like a javelin, with sympathy.
When Zhu Zhenhua asked Xiao Wang to go get Wen Ziqing, he cursed a few times in the office, and Xiao Wang heard it all clearly. Due to confidentiality regulations, Xiao Wang didn't dare tell Wen Ziqing a word during the journey.
"Captain Wen, please sit down!" Zhu Zhenhua pointed to the sofa against the wall and motioned Wen Ziqing to sit down and talk.
"Commander, is there any new mission?" Wen Ziqing sat down, his back still as straight as a pine tree.
"No, I received some news that is unfavorable to you and I want you to explain it yourself." Zhu Zhenhua said straight to the point.
When Zhu Zhenhua asked Wen Ziqing about the questions he had collected, Wen Ziqing's brows were tightly furrowed.
"Commander Zhu, I, Wen Ziqing, swear on my military honor that I have never accepted gifts from my soldiers. As for treating some comrades to a meal a few days ago, I did treat some comrades to a meal. However, that was because we were moving, and I had no intention of corrupting anyone." When Wen Ziqing talked about this, his face looked very calm, and he didn't seem angry at all for being slandered.
"Then...someone reported that you took your girlfriend to travel around while you were on a mission? Is this true?" Zhu Zhenhua was very cunning and immediately heard the thing that Wen Ziqing was avoiding in his words.
"How should I put it?" Wen Ziqing was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Commander Zhu, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"You little bastard, you still want to fool me with lies? Of course it's the truth!" Zhu Zhenhua was so angry at Wen Ziqing that his face turned red. This Wen Ziqing, still wants to fool him with lies?
"Commander Zhu, my fiancée did participate in the last mission. However, she didn't go there to sightsee. She went there to help." After pondering for a while, Wen Ziqing finally decided to tell the truth.
In Liu Jingyun's case, Zhou Yuanyuan's involvement allowed Wen Ziqing and his team members to escape unscathed. Without Zhou Yuanyuan, Wen Ziqing wasn't sure he could have withstood Liu Jingyun's self-destruction.
It can be said that without Zhou Yuanyuan's secret help, the result of this mission would definitely not have been so perfect. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want the credit, but was afraid that Zhao Yunxiang would find out, so she kept it a secret.
"Wen Ziqing, as a soldier, you can't tell lies with your eyes open!" Zhu Zhenhua was so angry when he heard Wen Ziqing say that that he stood up with a "whoosh".
Zhu Zhenhua had met Zhou Yuanyuan before, and precisely because of this, he was particularly furious. In Zhu Zhenhua's impression, Zhou Yuanyuan looked delicate and timid, and young. Could a girl like that help with a mission? Wen Ziqing, was he sure he wasn't lying?
"Commander, everything I said is true." Wen Ziqing stood up and answered seriously.
"Tsk! Don't think that just because your fiancée's surname is Zhou, she can have the ability of General Zhou." Zhu Zhenhua was so angry when he saw Wen Ziqing was "stubborn" that he widened his eyes.
"I'm telling the truth. My daughter Yuanyuan is just that capable." Wen Ziqing was angered by Zhu Zhenhua's attitude. He stood up with a whoosh and glared at Zhu Zhenhua.
"Master, Master, your brother Ziqing is arguing with an old man." Chaos Pearl, bored and unused during the days without Xiaoyu, often sneaked around the military compound. Tired of the gossip in the family compound, Chaos Pearl had focused on Wen Ziqing's training.
Because of this, when Wen Ziqing was called into the headquarters by Xiao Wang, he was seen by the Chaos Pearl.
Zhou Yuanyuan was in the middle of a closed-eye training session when, upon hearing the Chaos Pearl's warning, she quickly released her spiritual awareness to survey the military area. Upon witnessing the confrontation between Wen Ziqing and Zhu Zhenhua, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Yuanyuan swore that she really just wanted to be a low-key beautiful girl. Otherwise, when Zhu Zhenhua squeezed her last time, Zhou Yuanyuan would have thrown her ID in Zhu Zhenhua's face.
Zhou Yuanyuan had always wanted to hide her identity as a member of the special operations team, partly to avoid being perceived as too "evil" and partly for the safety of her family. But now that someone had reported her to Zhu Zhenhua, if she continued to keep a low profile, Wen Ziqing would be accused of sightseeing during her mission. This was something Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't tolerate.
Forget it, she should go and confess to Zhu Zhenhua to avoid the old man misunderstanding Brother Ziqing.
Traveling? If it wasn't for Brother Ziqing, would she have done such a thankless job?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan stood up and walked out the door.
At the headquarters, Zhu Zhenhua was about to knock Wen Ziqing on the head in anger, when there were several knocks on the door.
"Who?" Zhu Zhenhua's voice was filled with anger. His gaze shifted from Wen Ziqing to the door, as if he wanted to glare a hole through it. His face was frighteningly dark.
