The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 174 - 173: Demanding an Explanation, Ruined Future
Ling Chengyan raised a hand, palm up, and a half-brick lay impressively there: "Is this it?"
There were still traces of blood on the brick, making it impossible for the other party to deny anything. Instead, they turned their head to look at their own company commander, Shao Guoqing.
Ling Chengyan no longer looked at the few soldiers from the Guard Company but turned to Shao Guoqing: "Captain Shao, regarding today’s incident, will you give an explanation?"
Shao Guoqing’s face was somewhat flushed purple, his eyes narrowed: "Deputy Captain Ling, what do you mean by this?"
From behind him, someone from the Guard Company immediately spoke: "Our people were beaten, and now you’re demanding an explanation from us. Is the Automobile Company really so domineering?"
Ling Chengyan didn’t even look at the small soldiers who chimed in, and sneered: "Captain Shao, it’s one thing for both sides to have a disagreement leading to friction, but to stage a deception and falsely accuse our Automobile Company — don’t you owe us an explanation for that?"
As he spoke, he turned around to look at his company’s soldiers who were still raising their hands, and shouted: "Our Automobile Company may have many deficiencies, but we will never deceive and falsely accuse, nor will we strike at our comrades with deadly intent."
"Zhao Dahu, Liu Yuntao, Hu Zhenghai, Ding Ping... Step forward!" Ling Chengyan pointed out half a dozen of his own soldiers, and then ordered, "Take off your shirts!"
By this point, the soldiers of the Automobile Company understood. Captain Ling was helping them demand justice. Although they felt it was odd to remove their shirts, they looked at each other and complied, revealing their well-built upper bodies.
Ling Chengyan walked over, eyes scanning each soldier, then let them raise their arms, or turn around...
The troops from the Guard Company and the Reconnaissance Company looked at the marks on each person and quietly took a breath.
These men all had injuries; some on their chests, some under their ribs, some on their backs, some on their waists... Basically, each person had wounds at vital points.
Ling Chengyan pointed to the bruises on Zhao Dahu’s left chest, and said sternly: "This blow, if Zhao Dahu hadn’t dodged in time, would be more than just bruises. Also, the kick to his waist, if it had landed solidly, would certainly have injured his kidneys. And on his neck, these are throttling marks — everyone recognizes these, right? What kind of deep-seated hatred justifies such a vicious attack on a comrade?"
After saying a lot, Ling Chengyan turned back to face the purplish-red face of Shao Guoqing once more: "Captain Shao, I demand an explanation for all this."
Shao Guoqing continued to put up a stubborn resistance, trying to argue: "When things get physical, fists have no eyes, both sides are injured, what more does Deputy Captain Ling want?"
Ling Chengyan chuckled, without anger: "Captain Shao, if you don’t give an explanation, don’t blame me for being merciless and reporting this to our superiors."
"Political Commissioner He and Staff Officer Xing are here." Suddenly, someone shouted.
Everyone turned to look, and saw Political Commissioner He and Staff Officer Xing hurriedly approaching with Wu Qingyun. Both looked serious and glum, even Staff Officer Xing, known for his perpetual smile, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Ling Chengyan calmly retreated a few steps, standing in front of his people.
Political Commissioner He remained silent with a stern look, and Staff Officer Xing was the first to speak, looking at a few bare-chested Automobile Company soldiers and asked: "What’s going on here? With clothes disarrayed, have you forgotten discipline?"
Ling Chengyan stepped forward and calmly replied: "In response to leaders’ questions, several of our Automobile Company personnel were injured at vital points and are preparing to be sent for medical treatment."
Staff Officer Xing squinted, trying to control himself, resisted looking at the bleeding heads in the Guard Company’s line, and said: "Being brother units, why was there a group melee?"
Ling Chengyan looked back, and Zhao Dahu called out: "Report."
After receiving permission, he briefly recounted the sequence of events.
"They insulted us verbally, repeatedly provoked us, we restrained ourselves at every turn. They first went after their own comrades with deadly intent, then smashed their own head with a brick, attempting to falsely accuse us of harming them... I trust the leaders will be fair and just, and give us an explanation."
The tall, strong, dark-skinned young man unexpectedly had tears in his eyes, despite trying hard to control himself, he still quickly wiped his eyes twice.
Political Commissioner He and Staff Officer Xing looked at this situation and seemed to have guessed the reason.
With the formation of the Special Service Company, which was of higher specifications than a regular company, just getting into the Special Service Company meant a jump up two grades, and an opportunity to be promoted to battalion commander. Without frontline exploits, this chance isn’t common.
Given such a rare opportunity, no wonder some people moved with intentions and resorted to all sorts of disgraceful schemes and tactics.
Ha, it was meant for Ling Chengyan’s selection, yet some people benefited unknowingly and still wanted to drag the main party down — truly... thick-skinned and black-hearted.
Shao Guoqing had been with Leader Han for five to six years, and due to his outstanding ability, gained the leader’s appreciation, and had been promoted step by step. Unexpectedly, the allure of power blinded him, and he had changed from the honest and loyal young man he once was.
Shao Guoqing certainly wouldn’t allow the Automobile Company to say whatever they wanted, so he winked, and a few henchmen began to speak up, pleading their own innocence and grievances. One of them, with a face full of blood, simply threw himself to the ground before Political Commissioner He, crying out: "Please, leader, stand up for us!"
A sentence shouted hoarsely, and as soon as it was uttered, the person suddenly weakened and fainted.
Political Commissioner He distastefully retreated a step, raised his eyes, and coldly looked at Shao Guoqing: Some people scheming and calculating are one thing, but it’s problematic when they assume they’re smart and regard others as foolish.
Gaining the appreciation of leaders is not easy. Initially having a bright future, he has himself... ruined it... it’s basically self-destructive now.
Political Commissioner He glanced at Staff Officer Xing, and said blandly: "Send them to the military district hospital!"
He turned to look at Ling Chengyan and the crowd from the Automobile Company, "First, send the injured to the hospital for examination, we’ll handle this matter after we’ve reported back."
After watching the spectacle for a while, Zhou Lixin, the deputy company commander of the Reconnaissance Company, caught up and asked: "What about tomorrow’s selection?"
Staff Officer Xing glared at him: "Wait for the handling!"
Political Commissioner He added: "Before handling is complete, are you planning on doing nothing?"
"No, no," Zhou Lixin backed up a step, stood at attention, and saluted: "Yes, sir."
Political Commissioner He snorted and left with Staff Officer Xing.
The situation had been reported to the leaders, so Ling Chengyan didn’t delay any longer. He called his team to line up and train in a corner of the field. She went home, and returned with a large bottle of medicinal oil.
She had formulated this medicine oil based on the Ling Family’s secret recipe for treating injuries, known for its remarkable effects on bruises and strains.
She handed the medicine oil to Wu Qingyun: "When you return, apply some to the injured, use some force to push the medicine in. Don’t let it affect tomorrow’s selection."
Zhao Dahu was right nearby, and upon hearing this, he patted his chest and said: "We’re fine, won’t delay tomorrow’s selection, Deputy Captain, don’t worry."
Ling Chengyan glanced at him, suddenly stepped forward, moving so swiftly that no one saw exactly how she did it, and Zhao Dahu was flipped with a back throw, his back landing firmly on the ground. He coughed a few times before he could move.
"Deputy Captain, I’m sorry..."
"Humph, didn’t you say it wouldn’t affect you? Why was your evasive action so slow just now? If it were an enemy you faced, you’d already be dead!"
