Chapter 146: Who Asked the Commander’s Daughter to Steal a Cigarette?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
On this day, in the dormitory building, nearly everyone from other classes heard Liang Fan’s screams.
...Of course, they didn’t know the reason.
However, everyone saw and heard when the second platoon leader reported the situation of the second platoon. He said that the second platoon was missing a person.
After that, many people who could see the training ground after cleaning the exterior hygiene area also noticed that someone had been running there…
Liang Fan, who had just committed social suicide, had received a package this time. The transition from surprise to shock was too rapid.
Even though he had been jogging on the track for half an hour now, he still had no intention of stopping. Even though he was out of breath, he continued to close his mouth and grit his teeth from time to time with great determination…
He was confident that if he could return home at this moment, he would undoubtedly give his childhood friend, who had grown up with him, a piece of his mind.
Did that friend not understand what was happening here?
How could such a prank be pulled?
He thought about the laughter in the dormitory and how Ye Sanshi had pretended to be angry and in pain while suppressing his laughter.
He simply wished he could bore a hole through the track.
As he glanced at recruits from other squads, who came to tidy up the field’s exterior nearby, he noticed how they were looking at him. This fueled his sense of indignation even more.
In this moment, he felt as though everyone was well aware of what had occurred just earlier. Now, everyone was laughing at him.
And if he wasn’t mistaken, this kind of incident would undoubtedly spread throughout the army in the future. His military career going forward would inevitably be affected by this day’s unfortunate event.
Moreover, even if he were to retire from the military, this incident would follow him for the rest of his life…
“Bang! Bang!”
At five in the evening, post-cleaning, on the piling training ground behind the dormitory building.
Liang Fan was rather unhinged today. He clenched his teeth and pounded the wooden stake with a flurry of punches.
Upon witnessing this scene, Class Five’s students exchanged glances and shared smiles. Even the discomfort caused by training seemed to diminish.
Today’s joke was indeed quite significant. It was significant enough that just thinking about it or seeing Liang Fan like this made everyone want to laugh. “What’s so amusing? Hit harder. 1 want to hear that sound!”
All of a sudden, Ye Sanshi approached Yan Zhiming’s side and shouted at him.
Yan Zhiming promptly complied.
He heightened his strength and punched, enduring the discomfort.
“Hmph, target the vital points. It’s training time now. Should 1 catch any of you daydreaming again, expect to join me in extra practice later.”
Ye Sanshi’s ‘fight’ was, of course, a challenge.
Ever since everyone began learning military boxing, he relished using these words to intimidate everyone.
After all, during their practice fights, they would essentially be pitted against each other.
They were almost destined to learn their lessons the hard way.
Of course, there were some fresh recruits who possessed impressive skills.
For instance, a few students from martial arts schools demonstrated considerable ability.
A few class leaders truly proved themselves difficult opponents to best.
Yet, the seasoned class monitor would not hold back on anyone. If the True Martial University students were too brash, he’d have them face two or even three opponents on their own.
It was said that this tough approach was designed to exert pressure.
But in reality, he was merely employing the pretense of combat to impart crucial lessons.
Hence, this had become the favored phrase of the veteran soldiers responsible for training the new recruits within the company.
He often asserted that he would drag anyone he chose into fight practice.
Simultaneously, while Wang Ye and his peers focused on honing their combat skills…
Within the recruit company’s company commander’s office.
Wu Jianfeng sat nervously in his office, intently perusing the documents before him.
Suddenly…
Ding! Ding!
The phone on his desk jolted, startling Wu Jianfeng.
“Tsk, how could 1 be so careless…”
Wu Jianfeng muttered under his breath and hastily stashed the documents into the desk drawer.
He then took a deep breath and answered the call.
“Hello, this is Wu Jianfeng.”
“Hey, Little Wu!”
“Yes, sir! Commander!” Wu Jianfeng immediately recognized the voice on the other end of the line. He promptly sat up straight and responded earnestly. “Um… Do you happen to have any cigarettes?”
“Huh?” Wu Jianfeng was taken aback.
“It’s like this!” The regiment commander’s voice echoed from the phone once more. “I was thinking, if you didn’t have any cigarettes to smoke, you should have informed me. There was no need for you to have Yingying steal my cigarettes, right?”
Boom!
At that moment, Wu Jianfeng felt as though a bomb had detonated in his mind.
His scalp tingled.
Then, a surge of frustration surged within him.
Wu Jianfeng instantly rose to his feet. “Sir, please wait three minutes. No, make that three minutes. I’ll provide you with an answer in three minutes!”
With that, Wu Jianfeng did not hang up the phone and dashed out of his office.
“Gather the hell up, all of you!”
Wu Jianfeng stormed out of his office and dashed straight for the door.
Circling around the dormitory building, he arrived at the rear and bellowed at the new recruits on the training ground.
This spectacle astonished numerous veterans.
The two female soldiers, who had just brought the first aid kit and were waiting to assist the recruits, were taken aback as well.
Since joining the recruit company, Wu Jianfeng had never exhibited such an aggressive demeanor toward them.
Indeed, they had only interacted once, but even then, his tone conveyed the kind of agitation one would associate with their mother. His demeanor, coupled with his flustered and exasperated disposition…
In truth, the recruits were equally confounded.
However, given Wu Jianfeng’s outburst, everyone promptly halted their activities and converged at the edge of the training ground.
“Speak up, who coaxed the Commander’s daughter into swiping his cigarettes this afternoon?”
With that single question, the entire company—recruits and veterans alike—felt their hearts racing.
“Damn! Could this really be true?” Wang Ye also found himself dumbstruck.
His gaze darted around to his comrades.
He aimed to discern whose expression might be revealing a hint of guilt.
“Afraid to take responsibility for your actions?” Wu Jianfeng’s eyes blazed as he scrutinized the recruits, bellowing, “1’11 give you one chance. Step forward now, or 1’11 have the Commander’s daughter identify you, and you’ll face the consequences!”
Wu Jianfeng was truly incensed at this juncture.
It wasn’t a significant offense for recruits to engage in secret smoking. Even if he caught them in the act, he’d likely have the squad leaders manage the situation internally.
However, today’s event wasn’t merely about covert smoking.
For heaven’s sake, the cigarettes were swiped from the regiment commander himself.
Moreover, he orchestrated the theft through the four- or five-year-old daughter of the regiment commander.
In that moment, the entire line of recruits wore baffled expressions, secretly sizing up their fellow comrades. They pondered who among them could have dared such an audacious act.
Certainly, a certain recruit appeared especially pale.
“Reporting… Reporting…”
Upon hearing footsteps approaching from behind him, Wang Ye involuntarily turned around.
He wasn’t alone in his response. Others also faltered, despite their familiarity with military discipline. The situation was too absurd to ignore…
Each member of the formation was eager to identify the audacious culprit.
Wu Jianfeng’s gaze pierced like lightning, instantaneously fixating on the Class 7 soldier who had stepped forward to report.
His class monitor promptly turned ashen and pounced on him, delivering a swift kick.
“Are you out of your mind?”
After the Class 7 monitor kicked him to the ground, he berated him.
The class monitor was growing increasingly frustrated. He had been planning to get a good review this year and then carry on to the next one.
However, under these circumstances, the soldier he had brought with him was responsible for such a disgraceful act.
Already in his fifth year, he hadn’t been the best, and over the past five years, the regiment commander might not have even remembered his name.
Yet this time, he was certain that he’d be engraved in the regiment commander’s memory for the rest of his life.
