Han Junche felt wronged, but he didn't say anything because it would be useless.
He could only obediently nod and say, "Okay."
After dinner, Chi Xia took the initiative to wash the dishes. Han Junche wanted to join her, but she chased him out of the kitchen.
Just as they finished tidying up, Qian Xiangdong came to call them, saying that Mr. Mei and Mr. Ning were already waiting in the command room.
After informing them, Qian Xiangdong went to inform the others.
When Han Junche and Chi Xia arrived at the command room, Mr. Mei was sitting in the seat of honor drinking tea, with Han Zheng and Ning Hongwei sitting on either side of him. The three of them were probably talking about something interesting, as they all had smiles on their faces.
Seeing Han Junche and Chi Xia enter, Mr. Mei smiled at them and then said to Han Zheng, "You have raised a fine son."
Han Zheng glanced at Han Junche and nodded slightly, but did not dare to respond to Mr. Mei's words.
Han Junche remained expressionless, greeted Mr. Mei and the others with Chi Xia, and then sat down to the side.
A short while later, Qin Zhao arrived, accompanied by Qian Xiangdong and Lu Ang.
Han Zheng glanced at them and asked, "Where's Yu Guang?"
Qian Xiangdong sighed: "Yu Guang refused to come. He said he was too ashamed to see the general, let alone Mr. Mei and Mr. Ning."
"Nonsense!" Han Zheng stood up. "I'll go find him myself!"
"Forget it." Mr. Mei reached out to stop him, clearly already knowing what had happened the day before yesterday and yesterday: "No matter what, he made a mistake, and if he is not punished, he will find it difficult to convince others in the future, and he himself will not be able to live with himself."
Mr. Mei had spoken, so Han Zheng had no choice but to give up. However, he couldn't help but defend his subordinate who had been with him for over twenty years, saying, "Yu Guang was just temporarily blinded by greed, and he made amends for his mistake later."
Han Junche then spoke coldly from the side: "Making amends for one's mistakes cannot cover up the errors he has made. If everyone makes amends for their mistakes, then who will the people who suffer because of their mistakes seek justice from?"
Chi Xia, standing to the side, listened to his cold words and knew that he was angry because Yu Guang was still angry that Han Zheng had been imprisoned again, which led her to take the risk to rescue him.
She pursed her lips and remained silent.
In her opinion, Han Junche was right. A mistake is a mistake, and making amends can only lessen the punishment, not erase it.
Upon hearing Han Junche's words, Han Zheng stiffened and fell silent.
Seeing this, Mr. Mei smiled and said, "Old Han, you've surpassed your teacher."
These words clearly showed agreement with Han Junche's meaning. Upon hearing this, Han Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I was also soft-hearted. After all, with the apocalypse, there are not many acquaintances left alive."
These words immediately created a somber atmosphere, as everyone present had experienced the bitterness of the end times.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore," Mr. Ning changed the subject. "Let's talk about the future."
The two sides first exchanged information, mainly about aliens and what they had noticed about the situation abroad.
When the topic turned to the possibility that certain places abroad might have already joined forces with aliens and become their puppets or henchmen, everyone's faces darkened.
Mr. Mei looked at them and said, "We don't need to be indignant or pessimistic. This situation is actually quite normal. Even within the empire, there will definitely be people like this. After all, relying on the powerful and being afraid of death are human instincts."
"Moreover, the aliens are too powerful. To fight against them would be like throwing an egg against a rock, with little chance of winning. Under such circumstances, it would be understandable to become a slave or servant."
"No," Han Junche said coldly, "Chinese people will never be slaves."
