Chapter 651: My Father Asked Me to Deliver a Message to You!

If the matter escalates, those young men could indeed have their futures ruined.

The charge of insulting disabled soldiers only appears to carry a light punishment.

In the Huaxia Federation, controlled by the military, this charge is deeply taboo.

Those young men likely all have military backgrounds and will probably join the military later.

Once branded with this charge, even if ultimately proven innocent, the mere spread of the incident will cause many soldiers to shun them.

Especially when the accusation is made under the name of the Southwest Military Department.

"What benefit does this bring to Su Yang?"

"Push the forces behind those young men to calm things down! Right now, what we're most worried about is them scheming behind the scenes!" Ma Wenhong smiled. "If they won't suppress it, we'll file charges against each one publicly—we're not making false accusations, and even if we face them head-on at the General Military Headquarters, we're not afraid."

"What if they still try to sabotage us?"

"Then let's make the matter explode—the bigger, the better. All three sides are at fault, but the General Military Headquarters must consider how this affects the majority of soldiers!" Ma Wenhong smiled. "People naturally side with the underdog; most soldiers will prefer to stand with Su Yang, since this touches their own interests. If we hold firm, we shouldn't lose— the General Military Headquarters must give us some face."

Qin Qin Pengcheng nodded: "So the situation isn't that bad!"

"Indeed not. At least Su Yang didn't kill anyone!" Colonel Zhang whispered. "And he only provoked the Wucheng City Garrison—not the General Military Headquarters."

Ma Wenhong added: "If we must tear off all pretense, we can also accuse the Wucheng City Garrison of corrupt discipline."

"Uh!"

A group of high-ranking officials all stared at Ma Wenhong.

Ma Wenhong's stance seemed like he wanted to permanently alienate the Wucheng City Garrison!

"Forget about that Colonel Qin making things hard for Su Yang—just look at the conflict: four King-level experts, over twenty Starlight-level elites, nearly all the top Wucheng City Garrison forces from the western district were deployed—and still, Su Yang, a single Starlight-level Beast Tamer, crushed them all. Isn't that evidence of corrupt discipline?" Ma Wenhong sneered. "With this kind of combat power, if a beast army actually attacked Wucheng, could the city even hold out? I never thought the Wucheng City Garrison would sink to this level—it's a disgrace to the Huaxia Federation!"

Ma Wenhong's words had a tone of forced reasoning.

But they weren't without merit!

During this conflict, the entire Wucheng City Garrison looked pathetically weak!

"Maybe we don't even need to escalate—the news has already spread!" Qin Qin Pengcheng decided. "Then let's proceed. Deputy Team Leader Ma, you'll go to Wucheng yourself. First, investigate whether Su Yang's account is true. If he's not lying, follow the plan."

Qin Qin Pengcheng didn't trust just anyone to handle this.

"Alright."

Ma Wenhong nodded.

Yao Xing asked: "What about Su Yang's arrangement?"

"Let him rest for a while," Qin Qin Pengcheng asked. "By the way, how is his injury?"

Yao Xing replied: "No signs of worsening, but it doesn't look good."

"Then wait a while," Qin Qin Pengcheng sighed. "Su Yang needs to lie low for now."

"I understand."

That same day, Yao Xing found Su Yang and assured him.

The Southwest Military Department would do its best to protect him.

This made Su Yang somewhat relieved.

He didn't want to live a life of hiding, unless absolutely forced to.

He could endure it, but his mother and sister might not.

Two days later, at dawn, Su Yang sat in a military vehicle, watching Su Xiaoxiao walk out of their home with her backpack and get into a car.

Zhang Xiuru, Su Yang's mother, stood at the doorway, waving goodbye to Su Xiaoxiao.

As the car drove off, Zhang Xiuru turned slightly, glancing toward Su Yang's direction.

Before Zhang Xiuru turned, Su Yang quickly rolled up the window.

He didn't want to see his family yet.

Beside him, Liu Mengyun whispered: "I asked. The lieutenant's mother and sister are doing well. But Xiaoxiao didn't awaken the Beast Tamer talent. She applied to the best pet beast training academy in Changwu City, but her exam performance was off—she missed the cutoff by over twenty points. Still, they admitted her under special consideration."

"Mm."

Su Yang lifted his head, staring at the ceiling, and let out a deep sigh.

Even though he'd prepared himself mentally, hearing this news still weighed on him.

He knew his sister must be heartbroken for not awakening the Beast Tamer talent.

But there was nothing to be done.

Awakening the Beast Tamer talent is far too random.
