Chapter 85: Wu Jianfeng, the Furious Returner

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the meeting room, Wang Ye and Wu Jianfeng were chatting casually.

There were no other people present, and they were no longer in the new recruit company. Moreover, Wang Ye had just done something significant.

At this moment, Wu Jianfeng appeared very amiable.

Just like the first night when they joined the recruits, Wu Jianfeng’s demeanor was the same.

Gone were the seriousness, sternness, and harshness of the following days.

They chatted for almost half an hour.

“Click.”

The door was pushed open.

“Colonel!”

Wang Ye and Wu Jianfeng were sitting casually, but they immediately stood up and saluted.

Because the person entering was a colonel with two stars on his shoulders.

“Please sit… I was dealing with that matter just now.”

The colonel who entered was very friendly, and he smiled and gestured for them to put down their salute hands while also explaining what happened.

After he sat down, he looked at the two and said, “I am the director of our division’s affiliated hospital…”

At this moment, Wang Ye finally noticed that the colonel’s collar insignia seemed a bit different.

“Hey, Captain, they let us have lunch. Aren’t you hungry?”

In the parking lot outside the hospital, after Wang Ye got into a Jeep, he couldn’t help but ask Wu Jianfeng.

In the office just now, they didn’t talk much.

Mainly, the director praised Wang Ye a lot, giving recognition to his performance today. He said he would help report on today’s situation and give him credit and the like.

Naturally, Wang Ye was delighted to hear these words.

If Wu Jianfeng helping him with credit wasn’t enough, then the words from this high-ranking officer would definitely be reliable!

However, that’s not the focus now.

The focus now was that Wang Ye was indeed hungry, and it was already time for a meal.

The director had just invited Wang Ye and Wu Jianfeng to have a meal together, but Wu Jianfeng declined.

He said his new recruits were still waiting, and he needed to join them as soon as possible.

But in fact…

Actually, while they were waiting in the office earlier, he made a phone call.

He called the instructor and told him that if all the new recruits in the company had finished their physical examinations, they didn’t need to wait for him and Wang Ye. They could stay with the jeep that he and the instructor came in.

And now, in the parking lot, there was only one jeep left from the Iron Bones Hero Regimnent’s new recruit company.

There was no driver either because when they came, Wu Jianfeng drove himself.

“I was just being polite. I thought I would show off a bit, but who knew he would just say, Okay…”

At this moment, Wu Jianfeng looked embarrassed.

Having a meal with a leader, even if it’s in the cafeteria, is an opportunity.

Although they were not from the same system, and he was not a direct commanding officer, just being able to establish some connections with the director of a hospital was a good thing.

Speaking frankly, he was still single, and there were many beautiful female military doctors and nurses in the hospital. They were valuable resources.

But who would have expected that he wanted to show off a bit and demonstrate his sense of responsibility as a platoon leader.

And then, the director didn’t play by the rules at all. Instead of trying to keep him, he simply said, “Okay…”

What could he say?

He couldn’t say anything. He could only lead Wang Ye, who hadn’t even had breakfast, with an empty stomach.

“Alright, you won’t starve.” Wu Jianfeng looked at Wang Ye, rubbing his stomach, and said without a good temper, “Let’s go. There’s a small town on the way. We’ll park there, and I’ll treat you to a meal outside for lunch!”

It was almost noon now.

Although they would definitely have food in the mess hall if they went back now.

But Wu Jianfeng also felt a bit guilty toward Wang Ye.

They could have eaten right away.

And they would have eaten with their leader.

But now, they hadn’t even eaten anything, and if they were to go back, they would have to endure hunger for another two hours on the way.

So he was ready to pay for it himself.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, when Wang Ye returned to the new recruit platoon, the fifth platoon had already started training outside.

Wang Ye changed into his training uniform in the dormitory and hurried to the training ground.

“Report!”

“Well, fall in!”

Ye Sanshi smiled at Wang Ye, but he didn’t say much at the moment.

“Brother Wang, how did it go? Did you receive an award? Didn’t you meet the brigade commander?” Even though Ye Sanshi stood in front of him, Liang Fan couldn’t help but ask quietly.

“Shut up, Liang Fan, have you forgotten what you’re doing now?”

Ye Sanshi’s face changed instantly.

He was smiling just now, but now he became serious.

Instantly, Liang Fan became obedient.

Wang Ye glanced at him with a smile on his lips, but he didn’t say anything.

Of course, how could he say anything now?

“Let me tell you all, the military has rules. Regardless of when or under what circumstances, rules and discipline must be obeyed at all times.”

Ye Sanshi reprimanded everyone with a serious face.

After finishing, he suddenly ordered, “At ease… Alright, take a ten-minute break. Drink water if you’re thirsty, go to the bathroom if you need to.”

“Wang Ye, come with me…”

The change in the situation stunned the members of the fifth platoon.

Then, someone secretly complained and even cursed Ye Sanshi inwardly, “He was curious himself and didn’t allow us to ask. Now he wants to ask himself and won’t even include us. We’re also curious!”

“This is how everything happens…”

At the division headquarters, after Wu Jianfeng sent Wang Ye back to the new recruit platoon, he hurriedly came here.

At this moment, the division commander, the chief of staff, and the division staff officers were all present in the meeting room.

Wu Jianfeng stood in the middle of the meeting and explained the whole incident at the hospital in detail from beginning to end.

“Well, this soldier is quite outstanding, quick-witted, and daring. Most new recruits wouldn’t dare to take action in such a situation. But he not only dared to act but also immediately came up with a way to save the person. He deserves praise!”

The division commander smiled, genuinely happy today.

Compared to sitting in the division and receiving good news, it felt entirely different from the situation with the commander of the second battalion.

The commander of the second battalion, who was the officer in charge of the new recruit incident at the division hospital before, belonged to the type of person who received blame from above even if he sat in the battalion.

This time, he would definitely have to reflect on himself and might even be criticized by the entire division.

But for Wu Jianfeng, he had a soldier in the new recruit company who saved a person and turned the tide. In this incident, he played a completely opposite role.

Whether now or in the future, whenever someone mentioned this incident or the new recruit involved, they would undoubtedly mention that he was from the Iron Bones Hero Regiment.

In fact, just now, the commander of the second regiment called him.

He expressed his gratitude over the phone.

After all, without Wang Ye, if the brigade commander had really gone there today, he would definitely not have had a good ending.

In fact, they already knew that the brigade commander had actually been ready to leave earlier. They heard that the car was even called for, but then the matter was resolved, so they dropped the plan.

“Haha, indeed excellent!”

The chief of staff also smiled, “This soldier has exceptional adaptability and quick thinking. Moreover, he became the vice squad leader right after joining as a new recruit. His execution must be excellent. This kind of soldier is a natural talent for reconnaissance. Commander, I suggest…”

“No!” Wu Jianfeng almost jumped up.

Before the chief of staff finished speaking, he directly interrupted.

Although the chief of staff is a superior officer, Wu Jianfeng couldn’t manage that much at the moment.

“Damn it, he’s blatantly trying to take my soldier!” he thought to himself.

You see, when a new recruit platoon led the troops, besides accumulating personal experience, another advantage was the ability to choose good soldiers to keep.

But now, the chief of staff’s intention was to transfer Wang Ye to his direct subordinate, Criminal Investigation Platoon..
