Wife is safe, cute baby makes trouble in the world of special forces.

The noise in the courtroom seemed to be paused, and everyone's eyes turned to the door.

Two pairs of shiny military boots stepped on the floor, making a heavy "thump, thump" sound, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart.

The two men who walked in, the two bars and three stars on their epaulettes flashed coldly under the light, and the wrinkles on their faces were still stained with the dust from training. They were the two special warfare instructors code-named "Bull Head" and "Horse Face", who were like the "stabilizing force" in the field of special forces of the entire army.

The man on the left had a face as dark as iron, with a deep scar on his forehead extending from the brow bone to the jaw. It was the mark left by a comrade who had snatched a knife with his bare hands in an anti-terrorism mission on the border twenty years ago in order to cover his own. It was the special warfare instructor code-named "Bull Head".

The man on the right was wearing a pair of tactical glasses with badly worn edges. The eyes behind the lenses were as sharp as a hawk. Even if he just glanced at them casually, people would subconsciously hold their breath. He was the instructor code-named "Horse Face".

The collars of the two men's combat uniforms were still open, revealing the sweat-stained physical training suits underneath. There was even unwiped training dust embedded in the grooves of their cheeks, and the soles of their combat boots were still stained with mud from the field training ground.

It was obvious that he had rushed over directly from the high-intensity training ground and didn't even have time to tidy up his appearance.

No soldier present dared to underestimate the importance of these two "special forces godfathers".

In the special operations system of the entire army, their names are synonymous with "authority" and they are the ones who can decide the life and death of a commando team and the future of a special operations member.

During the National Special Forces Competition that year, the "Tiger Commando" of the Eastern Theater Command, relying on the support of high-level officials, secretly modified the locator data and forged combat records, and forcibly changed their original last-place result to runner-up.

As the chief referee, Ma Lian discovered an anomaly in the data during the review - the travel time of a certain route was faster than that of a helicopter flying at low altitude, and there was no sign of tactical evasion.

He immediately pulled up the satellite surveillance footage and, in front of the entire military observation group and more than a dozen generals, word for word exposed the Tigers' cheating: "Your team members' marching trajectory isn't even as good as a three-year-old's! Do you really think you can fool the satellites by deleting the recorder data?"

After saying that, he threw the score sheet to the ground, announced the cancellation of all the scores of the Tiger Team, demoted the rank of the officer leading the team by one level, and even criticized the department in charge of special warfare training in the Eastern Theater Command.

Since then, no team dared to try to be clever in a major competition, because everyone knew that Horse Face's eyes were sharper than satellites, and any tactical loopholes or data falsification could not escape his sight.

During the special warfare training at the border last year, a "mountain anti-terrorism exercise plan" submitted by a certain unit was approved by superiors. However, the defense deployment claimed to be "impregnable" in the plan was found to have three fatal loopholes by Niutou at a glance.

He circled the map with a red and blue pencil. "Only one squad remains for flank defense, and there are no guard posts. If the enemy attacks from here, your command center will be destroyed in three minutes. Your logistics supply route bypasses the hidden valley and insists on taking the open road. Isn't this making you a sitting duck for the enemy? The emergency communication frequency overlaps with the local TV station. If it's jammed, you won't even be able to send out a distress signal!"

The major who submitted the plan tried to defend himself by saying, "It was formulated according to the requirements of our superiors." Niutou threw the plan in his face and said, "Our superiors want a plan that can win the battle, not a plan that will cost you the lives of your comrades!"

Later, during the exercise according to the plan modified by Niutou, they successfully defended the command center during the simulated enemy attack, preventing the "simulated casualties" from expanding into a real accident.

Afterwards, the major and all the soldiers in the battalion gave Niutou a standard military salute and said three times, "Thank you instructor for saving us."

Not to mention the annual special forces selection, from physical tests to tactical assessments, as long as it is a link that is under the responsibility of the Ox Head and Horse Face, there is no possibility of "backdoors".

One year, the nephew of a certain general failed to meet the physical fitness standard by three seconds. He used his connections to ask Horse Face for leniency. Horse Face slammed the timer on the table and said, "Either you run again now, or pack up and leave! In my place, there are no 'general's nephews', only 'qualified soldiers' and 'unqualified soldiers'!" In the end, the nephew did not dare to run again and left the training camp in disgrace.

In the special forces community, there's a saying: "It's better to mess with the brigade commander than the ox-headed or horse-faced one."

Because the brigade commander can only take care of you for three to five years at most, but these two instructors can take care of your special warfare career for the rest of your life.

Whether you can join the ace commando team, participate in the national competition, or qualify for promotion depends largely on their evaluation.

Going back half an hour, as soon as Commander Gao's helicopter left the tarmac, he took out a satellite phone from his pocket and dialed a number he had memorized.

As soon as the word "Hello" came from the other end of the line, Commander Gao's voice was filled with urgency: "Instructor Niutou, Instructor Malian, I have a favor to ask of you. Go to the military court immediately! Chen Haonan has been tricked! If you're any later, that kid will be charged with 'illegal combat' and expelled from the military! The Magic Pill Base and the Big Black Commando will be disbanded."

At that time, Niu Tou was deducing on a tactical sand table with a red and blue pencil. When he heard the name "Chen Haonan," his pencil dropped onto the sand table with a "pop." "What's wrong with that kid? When he won the National Special Forces Championship, his tactical thinking was more solid than that of a veteran. Who would dare to touch him?"

Horse Face leaned over to the phone, his voice full of vigilance: "Is someone dissatisfied and deliberately causing trouble for him?"

"It's more than just trouble!"

Commander Gao's voice came through the receiver, brimming with uncontrollable fury, his breathing becoming heavy. "During this mission to rescue An Ran and apprehend the Liu family drug lord, the Thunderbolt Commando miscalculated, failed to understand the enemy's firepower deployment, and resorted to undercover tactics without authorization, ultimately setting themselves up for disaster! And yet, they're putting all the blame on Chen Haonan, accusing him of 'reckless action,' 'disobeying orders,' and 'relying on his age advantage to win the exercise.' Now he's on trial! You're the judges of the National Special Forces Competition, and you've witnessed that kid's abilities firsthand—how he outmaneuvered the larger force, how he accurately predicted and avoided risks in the competition—you know it better than anyone! Go and testify for him! We can't let this kid suffer any injustice!"

"It's just nonsense!"

Niu Tou slammed the sand table, splattering sand all over the floor. "During the final round of the National Special Forces Competition, the Blood Cherry Mercenaries sneaked into the arena and launched a surprise attack. It was this kid who was so fearless that he single-handedly chased them for several kilometers and took out the entire group of assassins! The Thunder Commandos were almost wiped out by the Blood Cherry Mercenaries."

"Damn it! If the Thunder and Lightning gang had this ability, how could they be pinned to the ground by the Big Black Commandos during an exercise? How could they not even figure out a drug lord's firepower deployment? They can't afford to lose and are looking for a scapegoat!"

Horse Face stood nearby, his fingers clenched into fists. His eyes were cold as ice, his voice filled with mockery and anger. "They're blaming a kid for their loss. They're bringing shame to us special forces! They're bringing shame to the entire army! I've seen the Thunderbolt Commando's tactical records. In the previous tri-service exercise, they couldn't even perform basic flanking surveillance, and yet they dared to accuse others of 'reckless combat'? I've recorded in my performance notebook how Chen Haonan avoided risks, how he protected his comrades, and how he delivered precise strikes! And yet, they made their own mistakes and now they're trying to drag a kid down with them. Do they really think no one knows their true colors?"

"Let's go! Let's go now! No one can stop us!" Niu Tou grabbed the documents and medal box on the table. The military medals in the medal box made a "ding-dang-dang" sound because of the hasty movement.

He didn't even bother to button up his combat uniform, leaving the collar open to reveal his sweat-stained physical training suit, and strode out the door.

Horse Face followed closely behind, still holding the unwiped pistol in his hand. He stuffed it directly into the holster without even having time to adjust his tactical glasses, and quickly followed Bull Head's footsteps.

The two rushed out of the training base and jumped onto the military off-road vehicle parked at the door.

Niu Tou sat in the driver's seat and stepped on the accelerator suddenly. The off-road vehicle rushed out like an arrow, and the tires made a harsh "squeaking" sound as they rubbed against the ground.

Along the way, they ran through three red lights. The traffic police on the roadside saw that it was an off-road vehicle with a military license plate and thought it was an emergency mission. They subconsciously gave way and even waved to other vehicles to give way.

Ma Lian sat in the passenger seat, tightly clutching the tactical score sheet from when Chen Haonan participated in the national competition. It had his and Niu Tou's autographs on it, and every score was clearly written.

"Tactical prediction: excellent", "Emergency response: excellent", "Teamwork: excellent", "Psychological quality: excellent".

He looked at the score sheet, his fingers wrinkling the paper from the force, and his anger grew even stronger.

"Why should a kid who got straight A's be framed by a group of people who barely even passed? Today, I'm going to throw this grade sheet in their faces and show them what a true special forces soldier is!"

The off-road vehicle sped all the way and finally arrived at the door of the military court.

But just as they got out of the car and were about to enter the courtroom, they were stopped by Minister Li who was guarding the door.

"Comrades, please show your credentials and explain your purpose."

Minister Li put his hands behind his back and glanced at the two of them coldly, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty.

He has been "guarding the door" and will never let those who support Chen Haonan in to disrupt the trial.

Niutou handed over his credentials and said in a booming voice, "We are the special warfare instructors of the entire army, codenamed Niutou and Malian! We are here to testify for Chen Haonan! That kid is the champion of the National Special Forces Competition, and he won through real ability. Now he's been falsely accused of 'lack of ability' and is facing a military court - we will definitely handle this matter!"

Horse Face took a step forward, his boots clattering heavily on the ground. His tone was filled with indignation. "In the last National Special Forces Competition, we were the referees. The Lightning Commando's tactics were full of loopholes. It was clearly their own misjudgment, yet they put the blame on Chen Haonan! In terms of tactical prowess, they can't even compare to the Big Black Commando. The gap is more than a level! They blame a kid for their loss. What kind of special forces are they!"

Minister Li's face darkened instantly. He leaned over to block the doorway, his tone even colder, "Martial courts have rules. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. I advise you not to go in and cause trouble. Otherwise... I'm afraid Chen Haonan will really be expelled from the military."

He deliberately emphasized the words "expelled from the military" in an attempt to scare off the two instructors.

After all, in his opinion, no one would go against the entire Langya system for a nine-year-old child.

Although he knew the status of Niu Tou and Ma Lian in the special forces system, he was responsible for disciplinary review and had the power to deal with "illegal entry into the military court" and was not afraid of the two at all.

He even felt that the two instructors were just acting on impulse, and that as long as he made clear the consequences of being "expelled from the military," they would definitely back down.

But he didn't expect that the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced monsters wouldn't buy it at all.

The two men looked at each other, then suddenly turned sideways and lightly blocked Minister Li with their arms, pushing him aside.

The special warfare instructor who has been leading the team in extreme training for many years has such strong strength in his hands that Minister Li, who is sitting in the office, cannot stop him.

Minister Li staggered and held onto the door frame, watching the two men stride into the courtroom. His face turned pale and blue, and he was filled with anger but couldn't vent it.

He had made a bet with Commander Gao not to interfere in the trial process. If he went in now, he would not only lose the bet but also get a reputation of being "untrustworthy".

Minister Li was so angry that his face turned blue. He gritted his teeth and turned to walk towards He Zhijun's office.

He wanted He Zhijun to think of a solution and never let these two instructors disrupt the plan, and never let Chen Haonan turn the tables.

Just now, after he and Commander Gao came out, He Zhijun also returned to the office.

At this moment, in He Zhijun's office, the surveillance screen was playing the scenes in the court in real time.

He Zhijun leaned back in his office chair, tapping the table rhythmically with his fingers, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes full of impatience.

Fan Tianlei stood beside him, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, Wolf Head. Minister Li and Mr. Ye don't support 'Home Alone', so Chen Haonan can't cause any trouble."

He paused, his gaze fixed on Lei Zhan's figure on the screen, his voice lowered even more. "The Big Black Commando has robbed Wolf Fang of so many resources these past few months—from training grounds to equipment and supplies. They've always been given priority. Now, with Yan Wang's death, we can reclaim all those resources, and the Lightning Commando can stabilize their position. Honestly, Yan Wang's sacrifice... was worth it."

He Zhijun did not refute, but just said "hmm" softly.

In his opinion, the Big Black Commando was just a nine-year-old kid holding up the show and could not be considered a "regular force" at all.

When Commander Gao went against all odds to form the Big Black Commando, he felt it was unnecessary.

How can a child who has not even completed compulsory education understand tactical command?

Now, this kid not only robbed Langya's resources, but also made the Thunder Commando lose face. If he could be expelled through this trial, it would save a lot of trouble.

"It's just Commander Gao..."

Fan Tianlei seemed to have remembered something, and his tone was a little more worried. "He has always been protecting Chen Haonan. If he knew we were doing this, would he..."

"So what if Commander Gao protects him?" He Zhijun finally spoke. "In the military, strength and experience are key, not just protecting your own children. A nine-year-old kid, even if he wins the national championship, can't support an entire assault team. Besides, Minister Li and Elder Ye are on our side. Even if Commander Gao wants to protect him, he has to consider the opinions of the entire army."

Fan Tianlei smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to say something else, the office door was suddenly pushed open with a bang.
