Feng Wei is stubborn. Do you think I wouldn't dare to approach a major general? Fine, I'll go.
A mere platoon leader, seeking an audience with a major general, was complaining about a serious violation of base regulations.
After passing several hurdles, Feng Wei finally met the leader.
The platoon leader was separated from the major general by a distance as vast as the sky. When Feng Weisheng actually saw Zhao Hongyi, he felt a little apprehensive.
Suppressing the fear of the junior officers facing their senior superiors, he recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
Zhao Hongyi smiled broadly:
“You’ve definitely mistaken me for someone else. I was at the plantation with Zuo Ling when it happened. How could she possibly have had time to kill someone?”
The leader is with a murderer? Feng Wei's brain isn't quite working properly.
Before he could answer, Zhao Hongyi turned to his adjutant and asked:
"Am I mistaken? I went to the plantation yesterday?"
The adjutant looked righteous:
"The commander has a good memory; it happened today. We just returned from the plantation. The harvest was good, and you, Zuo Ling, and the plantation's commanders and soldiers had a very pleasant conversation."
Having received confirmation, Zhao Hongyi's smile vanished, and he said seriously:
"What are the whistleblower's intentions to frame someone like this? Luckily we went to the plantation today, otherwise he would have wronged us to death."
Feng Wei's mouth involuntarily opened as the scene of seeing Zuo Ling and her brother kept flashing through his mind.
The commander was with Zuo Ling, so what he saw... was it a ghost?!
Zhao Hongyi gave instructions to his adjutant:
“Go and investigate thoroughly. We cannot keep such a person who talks nonsense and stirs up trouble in our base.”
"yes."
The fact that Feng Wei, as a platoon leader, managed to pass through layers of checks to reach the position of major general demonstrates that he is an extremely stubborn person.
He wanted to say that not only did he see them, but all the soldiers in his platoon saw Zuo Ling and her brother, and he even spoke to them.
The adjutant put his arm around his shoulder and pushed him out:
“Come on, come on, come on, I’ll go with you to meet the person who reported us.”
Feng Wei didn't want to leave; upholding the base's regulations was his duty.
The adjutant's face darkened. "What, am I not high enough in rank?"
Anyone who can serve as an adjutant to a major general is of a higher rank than Feng Wei.
No...no.
"That settles it then. Let's go, let's go, let's go. The commander has entrusted this matter to me. Let's go outside and talk. Why do you always come to the commander for everything? Does the commander have any official business to attend to?"
Feng Wei was pushed out of Zhao Hongyi's office.
Zhao Hongyi took a sip of tea. This Zuo Ling was just causing him trouble!
But what he was really thinking was, "Did Zuo Ling bring back a few chicks? What a lucky one! I'll go check on her when I have time."
Outside the door, Feng Wei, craning his neck, said to his adjutant:
“We really saw a man and a woman today, holding chicks in their arms. They are the two from the plantation. There’s no way we could be mistaken. If you don’t believe me, I’ll call all the soldiers from the first platoon over, and you can ask them.”
The adjutant patted him on the shoulder and, seemingly unrelated to the question, asked, "How's the food lately? Have you had any dishes yet?"
His superior's concern for his diet warmed Feng Wei's heart.
"We're eating! We're eating! The food is much better than before. We can even see grains in the porridge now. We even had tomato soup yesterday."
"Do you know who grows the grains and tomatoes you eat?"
It took Feng Wei a while to react, "The man and the woman?"
The adjutant smiled:
"If you still want to live a life where you can't get enough food or vegetables, I'll go with you to arrest people."
Feng Wei insisted: "Those are two different things, one thing at a time."
An adjutant who becomes an adjutant to a major general has gone through a lot of bloodshed and has seen many such stubborn people who are impossible to sway.
He said with a smile:
“Go back and ask the soldiers in your platoon if they are willing to live a life without food or vegetables. If they agree with you, then come back to me and I will go with you to arrest people.”
Having said that, he walked away leisurely.
Feng Wei stamped his foot, "How could this be?! How could this be?!"
Stubborn Feng Wei actually went back to ask the soldiers who had seen Zuo Ling and her brother.
The soldiers exchanged glances, and after a long while, one of them said:
"I think the person who reported this has ulterior motives; they must be jealous of the other person's abilities."
"I think so too. He probably doesn't want us to have an easy time."
"Kick him out! He still dares to ask us for a reward? Bah!"
"Yes, kick them out. Our base doesn't need troublemakers."
"..."
Feng Wei's eyes widened little by little. What were the soldiers saying? He was completely confused.
