Chapter 271: How dare you tarnish someone's reputation!

What are you doing, what are you doing, stop them!

Close the door, release the dogs!

A large group of white caps went berserk and rushed inside.

Sixth Company soldiers held the pass; one man guarding it, ten thousand could not break through.

Lu Yang even went straight to the front, with one person sheer force withstanding the charge of three or four military police.

This scene was exactly like when, back in the New Recruit Company, Zhou Kaidong had them go to the Fourth Class to pick up the Moving Red Flag.

However, back then Lu Yang was a good-for-nothing scholar; in sheer strength he could not match others, but now things are different.

These military police rarely train; physically they could not possibly match those who treat a fifteen-kilometer run as a warm-up, the elite company.

And indeed, the military police company, when angered, really just got a little angry.

Charge, can't get in; retreat, the gate's already been shut—truly a situation of advance and retreat both difficult.

Even the military police company commander's face, in the chaos, was secretly punched by Lu Yang.

"Stop, everyone stop, the company commander's nose is bleeding!"

Lu Yang quietly wiped his hand on Kang Changyi's camouflage uniform, then loudly shouted for them to stop, righteously.

As soon as he spoke, everyone stopped; the military police company commander wiped his nose, his lungs about to burst from anger.

Since he joined the unit, he had never suffered such a great injustice.

His fellow subordinates, at this moment, were all in a sorry state.

Obviously, even if another company came to match strength, it might not be a match for the Iron Foot Company.

"Ma Qing'an, hand over that kid, and we'll turn and leave!"

"If you insist on protecting him, we won't let this rest with you!"

"From now on, we'll do nothing but stare you down, Sixth Company; you're not so mighty, you just got a division commendation—I want to see how long that title can protect you!"

Ma Qing'an wasn't scared either: "Bring it on, if I'm afraid of you, I'll spell my three characters backwards!"

Seeing that neither soft nor hard tactics worked, the military police company commander gritted his teeth: "I don't have to take the person, but I must be given an explanation; that kid deliberately smeared and poured dirty water in the report letter, and must be brought over for a face-to-face confrontation!"

"Yes, let him come out and confront us!"

"On what grounds do you report us, on what grounds do you put a shit pot on our heads!"

Unable to match in strength, this bunch of military police started arguing.

Ma Qing'an knew the other side had already yielded; if they continued to stalemate, things would only get more tangled.

Moreover, he wasn't clear what Zhang Jiaheng had written in the report letter; if it were baseless, that would be framing him.

If that were the case, Ma Qing'an couldn't protect him, and there'd be no reason to use the Whole Company's honor to protect him; besides, this kid had previously wanted to report the Sixth Company, listing a heap of charges.

If it weren't for Kang Changyi turning traitor and exposing this, no one would know the unit was harboring a white-eyed wolf.

First he betrayed the Sixth Company, then he turned and bit his old unit.

If he's truly an un-trainable wolf cub, who would dare take him?

Ma Qing'an looked back at Lu Yang and lowered his voice.

"Go bring him over."

"Hmm."

Lu Yang and the Company Commander thought alike.

Seeing Zhou Kaidong, the two immediately headed toward the flowerbed where Zhang Jiaheng was hiding.

As Lu Yang left, our side's aura immediately weakened a bit; Acting Platoon Leader Kang Changyi immediately straightened up.

Chest puffed out like a rooster, pointing at this bunch of excited white caps, he shouted loudly: "Don't cause trouble, don't cause trouble, my fists don't look where they're going!"

"Go!"

"I, I'm not going!"

Seeing the two approach, Zhang Jiaheng knew what was up and kept shaking his head.

Lu Yang: "You must go!"

Zhou Kaidong: "If you don't go, that shows you really are the one who reported!"

Zhang Jiaheng was grabbed by the two and desperately clung back: "So what if I reported it? If you provoke me, it's your bad luck; I didn't lie, every item in my report letter is solid proof!"

The two exchanged a glance, Lu Yang raised his eyebrows: "You mean, your report letter contains no fabrications, no deliberate framing, all solid evidence?"

"Otherwise!" Zhang Jiaheng nodded like a chick pecking grain: "I know what discipline is, what integrity is. Previously I was forced to go with the flow; now I stand on the side of light to condemn them!"

"My starting point is good, to purge the unit's discipline and make the military police more just and incorruptible!"

Lu Yang: "You swear?"

Zhang Jiaheng: "I swear, if I lie, I'll be run over by a car as soon as I go out!"

"Alright, then no problem—let you go confront them, not hand you over."

"Not let me go with them?"

"Nonsense, you're now a Sixth Company soldier; even if your grades are poor, you're still an Iron Foot Company person."

"Well, then that's fine."

Zhang Jiaheng followed the two, heart full of anxiety, to the front.

Seeing Zhang Jiaheng's face, his former squad leader felt heartbroken.

The company commander and other comrades wished they could hack him into pieces, dismember him, before they'd be satisfied.

Although the military police's position in the unit is very sensitive, some who transferred from military police to technical posts dare not mention their former identity, fearing trouble.

But someone like Zhang Jiaheng, who backstabbed his old unit and moreover listed a large number of charges to turn over to the division, stirring up such a big basket, is still the first.

"You wretched thing, how could you do this? Back in the company we treated you well, and you repay kindness with enmity!"

"I just spoke the truth."

Damn it, speaking frankly, you are clearly fabricating accusations!

I didn't!

Zhang Jiaheng's emotions instantly flared up.

One could say he stabbed in the back, one could say he's a white-eyed wolf, but absolutely cannot say he fabricated accusations.

Originally, when targeting Lu Yang, it was because I knew he definitely drank alcohol, so I broke the sandpot to get to the bottom.

But I didn't expect that the sandpot would hit my foot and even scald my leg.

But in the end, he also got confirmation from Lu Yang that the person indeed drank alcohol.

This proves his judgment was not wrong, only the outcome deviated.

"I reported these problems, each one reflects the truth!"

Zhang Jiaheng pointed at a thin-faced guy in the opposing crowd.

"Last April, to pursue a female signal corps soldier of the 441st Regiment, you violated regulations by sneaking off to the service society to buy food during duty!"

"At that time, that female soldier's shoelaces were loose, her hair clearly did not meet military appearance standards; why didn't you correct her?"

"......"

The Military Police company commander turned his head in astonishment; the thin-faced guy shrank back into the crowd embarrassedly, obviously guilty.

Zhang Jiaheng continued his challenge: "And him!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"You haven't changed your underwear for half a month, wearing it inside out and back to front, and you even stole others' clothes from the drying area!"

"My clothes are gone; if I don't take others', what should I wear?"

"If your clothes are gone, you can file a report, apply to superiors; taking others' is wrong; if my clothes were gone, I'd rather go naked than steal someone else's!"

"And you!"

"Me?"

The company commander pointed at himself, looking astonished.

Zhang Jiaheng pointed at him: "Don't think I don't know what's in the art appreciation folder on your computer's D drive. At the end of June, I went to your office to deliver documents; in broad daylight you closed the door, don't think I don't know......"

"Alright alright alright alright!"

The company commander hastily covered his mouth, saying with a guilty face: "It's a misunderstanding, all misunderstandings, not a big deal, ahahaha!"

But someone below objected: "These are all trivial petty matters; do you think your own backside is clean?"

Zhang Jiaheng brushed off his hand, saying indignantly: "So I'm quitting this post; I'm now just an ordinary soldier; you, as the maintainers of army discipline, each wield a feather as a command arrow, making trouble for grassroots soldiers for the sake of performance!"

"Oh dear!"

Lu Yang cast a surprised glance.

The other members of the Sixth Company also glanced askance.

Indeed, being in a position, one thinks of its duties; engaging in a profession, one loves it.

That bunch of white caps opposite was left speechless by the retort, and could only find an excuse to slink away.

After all, who knows if continuing to stay, this guy might not burst out with more shocking news?

Better to stop here; otherwise they'd lose even the last shred of the company's dignity, or else their underwear would be stripped clean!

This little incident gave everyone a somewhat better impression of Zhang Jiaheng.

Those who are naturally sensitive and strong-willed are destined to take more detours, destined to end up with broken heads and bloody flow.

No one is born a good soldier, nor born to be a soldier; many things need time to catalyze.

After finishing handing over his duties, Lu Yang simply bade farewell to Zhou Kaidong, Liu Ziqiang, Chen Panpan, etc., then picked up his luggage and got on the car.

Ma Qing'an started the car: "We still need to go pick someone up first."

Lu Yang curious: "Pick up who?"

"Your fellow townsman."

"Ding Tengfei? He's also on leave?"

On the way back, having a companion, Lu Yang naturally felt happy.

Ma Qing'an didn't say much, but directly drove to the Seventh Company.

At the gate of the Seventh Company, Company Commander Gao Feng, and Acting Platoon Leader Guo Yongwen were already leading Ding Tengfei waiting here.

But Lu Yang could clearly see that Ding Tengfei was spiritless, like a frost‑hit eggplant.

Guo Yongwen helped Ding Tengfei load his luggage onto the car, while Lu Yang was pulled aside by Gao Feng for careful instructions.

"Lu Yang, I'm entrusting him to you; on the way, please help look after him a bit."

"How is he?"

"Ding Tengfei's family has had an incident; his grandfather suffered a cerebral hemorrhage a few days ago and was hospitalized, the doctor issued a critical notice, the family called saying he might not last long......"

Lu Yang glanced at the dazed Ding Tengfei in the car, then nodded firmly at Gao Feng: "Rest assured, I will take good care of him."

Gao Feng patted his arm: "Thanks, take it slow on the road; call me anytime if anything comes up."

Lu Yang nodded, opened the car door, got in, and set off on the road home......
