Chapter 47
"Company Commander, stop hitting them! I'm fine."
Shi Jin was lightly injured and hurriedly came out when he heard the commotion.
Gao Cheng kept a cold face and didn't even glance at Shi Jin.
Shi Jin walked cautiously into the detention ward; except for two in critical condition being treated separately, the remaining few were lying on the ground with only a breath left.
Several of their teeth had been knocked out.
"Where is Wu Liuyi?" Gao Cheng stared coldly at Shi Jin.
Shi Jin pointed to the next ward.
"Where is Xu Sanduo? How is he?"
Shi Jin immediately recounted everything that had happened before.
Gao Cheng instantly fell silent.
The next second, he raised his head, "Who allowed them to interrogate Xu Sanduo? What right do they have?"
"Gan Xiaoning, take some men and find Xu Sanduo!"
"Yes! Third Squad, follow me!" Gan Xiaoning led the Third Squad and rushed out.
"Company Commander, this matter..." Shi Jin was somewhat speechless; after all, one person had died, and two were in critical condition.
"It's fine, you all transfer hospitals immediately, go to the Military Region General Hospital. I'll talk to the Regimental Commander about this."
After Gao Cheng finished speaking, he glanced at the ward; those thugs wouldn't be able to crawl up for at least half a year.
In his heart, this didn't even count as a matter.
And this matter wasn't over.
There was no way he would let these thugs off so easily; that wasn't Gao Cheng's personality.
They had bullied his people, so there had to be a satisfactory result to this matter.
Inside the ward.
Gan Xiaoning stood at the door in shock, looking at Feng Yuxiu, who was covered in blood, and his eyes instantly turned red.
His relationship with Feng Yuxiu wasn't very deep; this was entirely the camaraderie between comrades-in-arms.
He had been fine when he went out that night, and in the blink of an eye, he had become like this.
"Sanduo, where does it hurt? You're injured like this, why isn't the oxygen plugged in? What did the doctor say? Have they given up on treatment?"
Gan Xiaoning walked into the ward tremblingly, his throat bobbing as he almost cried.
Feng Yuxiu frowned and rolled off the bed.
"Doctor! Doctor! The patient is having a moment of clarity before death!! Sanduo, wait there, I'll go call the doctor for you!"
Gan Xiaoning was terrified; with such massive blood loss, the fact that the person was still energetic enough to move was too frightening.
"Come back, I'm fine, this isn't my blood."
Feng Yuxiu took off his clothes and said coldly.
Gan Xiaoning sniffled, leaned in to look Feng Yuxiu up and down, and instantly laughed, "You're fine? You scared me to death."
"Xiaoning, you found Sanduo... Oh my god, why is there so much blood? Sanduo, where are you injured?" Bai Tiejun stood at the door with a pale face, his lips trembling.
"It's fine, it's fine, don't make such a fuss, it's fine, this isn't Sanduo's blood. Also, change that form of address—do you want to stand at attention holding a stool again?" Gan Xiaoning glared.
Only then did Bai Tiejun let out a long sigh of relief and lean heavily against the wall.
The ward fell into silence.
Neither of them dared to breathe loudly.
"So, Sanduo, I heard you killed someone?" Gan Xiaoning asked cautiously.
Bai Tiejun instantly craned his neck to look.
Feng Yuxiu poured a glass of water and drank it in large gulps, "This matter isn't worth spreading everywhere. How are the Squad Leader and Deputy Squad Leader?"
"The Squad Leader is fine, he's talking to the Company Commander in the corridor. The Deputy Squad Leader has a concussion, some cracks in his bones, and his leg seems to be limping. The doctor said he'll be fine after resting for a while."
Listening to Gan Xiaoning's introduction, Feng Yuxiu nodded, reassured.
"Alright then, we'll keep you company for a while, then you'll transfer hospitals. Your hand is fine now, right? If it's fine, come back to the company with us; the Squad Leader and Deputy Squad Leader have to go to the General Hospital to rest for a while." Gan Xiaoning looked left and right.
"We came in a hurry, we only have rifles and sniper rifles, we didn't bring any fruit or anything, so we'll just make do with water."
"Let's go, I'll go out and see the Company Commander." Feng Yuxiu stood up, thought for a moment, grabbed his blood-stained camouflage uniform, and walked out.
"Keep up!" Gan Xiaoning glared and hurriedly followed.
——
"Company Commander." Feng Yuxiu walked up and gave a military salute.
Gao Cheng looked him up and down for a long time and nodded, "It's good that you're fine."
A flash of surprise crossed Feng Yuxiu's eyes; he had slaughtered a person.
He had originally thought the Company Commander would be furious or have an unfriendly tone toward him.
But from beginning to end, the Company Commander didn't have any emotional reaction.
"Political Director, I'll leave Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi to you; we're going back first."
Hong Xingguo nodded.
"Steel Seventh Company, assemble!"
Gao Cheng said this very softly; the previous commotion had already attracted the attention of other patients in the ward.
Since the matter was already handled, he couldn't affect other patients.
"Sanduo, let's go." Gan Xiaoning led Feng Yuxiu downstairs.
Shi Jin sat on the hospital bed and revealed a smile.
"This soldier... on the battlefield, he is absolutely a good comrade-in-arms to whom one can entrust their back."
Moreover, such a big event had to be reported to the regimental headquarters or even the division headquarters.
The information from the combat unit reached a certain mountain within three days.
Yuan Lang, wearing sunglasses, revealed a smile.
"Qi Huan, find me the file on this soldier."
——
——
Feng Yuxiu didn't know how this matter was settled.
The Company Commander hadn't told him either.
Three days later, Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi returned.
If no one had died, this matter would have been a Third-Class Merit.
He had protected the property and safety of the masses.
But now someone had died, and Feng Yuxiu didn't know how the military had assessed it.
So, on the fourth day.
Bai Tiejun was squatting on the ground, polishing Gan Xiaoning's leather shoes.
Today's weather was blue skies and white clouds, a gentle breeze blew in from the window, and the watered ground gave off a refreshing feeling.
Shi Jin walked in with a hearty smile, followed by the expressionless Wu Liuyi.
"Xu Sanduo, stand up!" Wu Liuyi ordered with a cold face.
Everyone felt somewhat at a loss.
Bai Tiejun threw down the shoes and stood up; Gan Xiaoning, who had been sitting on a small stool, also stood straight.
The members of the Third Squad were all confused.
Was it time to settle old scores?
Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi looked solemn.
Shi Jin spoke slowly, "Comrade Xu Sanduo, in view of your outstanding performance in the all-army assessment, the regiment now awards you a Third-Class Honor Badge!"
Bai Tiejun and the others all let out a long sigh of relief; it was good news after all.
Feng Yuxiu received the badge with a solemn expression.
"Applaud!" Shi Jin smiled and led the applause.
Holding the heavy badge in his hand, Feng Yuxiu's inner perspective changed at this moment.
In his previous life, in order to continuously break through and climb higher peaks, he had killed countless martial arts experts.
In the end, he was surrounded and suppressed by the Flying Tigers sent by the Hong Kong police.
This time, just by being a soldier, he had a legitimate reason to act, and he didn't have to bear any risks.
So, he thought for half an hour and found Shi Jin, who was washing the car.
"You want to join the Party?" Shi Jin looked at Feng Yuxiu in astonishment.
Wu Liuyi, standing to the side, was also shocked.
A new soldier who had just arrived for half a year didn't have that kind of awareness.
"Sanduo, you've only been here for half a year, it's still too early, don't be impatient; there will be opportunities after you perform well in the future."
Shi Jin helplessly rejected Feng Yuxiu's request.
Feng Yuxiu nodded and turned to leave without a word.
He naturally knew that it required at least a year, and this time he had just come to express his thoughts to Shi Jin.
Walking out of the garage, he looked down at his left hand, "It's almost time, while the military is in a rest period, I need to speed up; there are still seven fingers left to break."
"Sanduo, Sanduo! The Regimental Commander is looking for you!"
Staff Officer Bai came running over, panting and shouting.
Feng Yuxiu's expression turned solemn.
The Regimental Commander—what could he want?
