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

Old Mrs. Ye knew the weight of the "Pillar of a Great Nation" plaque, as clearly as her military rank and responsibilities engraved in her bones.

This is not a gold-plated ornament bought at the mall, nor is it a plastic medal given out in the year-end evaluation.

This thing is more valuable than three special medals of honor stacked together, and ten times more important than the title of "Outstanding Commander of the Army."

It represents the pinnacle of honor a soldier can achieve, a certification bestowed upon the nation by its own hands as a "pillar of the nation." It's not earned through experience or connections, but through genuine merit, forged through the ravages of battle, and built with the will of those who put their heads on the line.

Over the years, the number of people in the entire army who have received this plaque can be counted on one hand.

Every time a name is mentioned, it becomes a legend that can make the new recruits listen attentively for a long time.

Which of these men is not a well-known tough guy in the military? Which of them is not the backbone who can stand up and "hold up the sky" when the country is in trouble?

Not to mention, this plaque has an invisible privilege.

No matter whether they are the old leaders of the military or the commanders of the major military regions, they have to give some face when they see this sign, speak in a softer tone, and dare not take advantage of the "rules" and "procedures".

Because behind this brand is the country's highest recognition of a soldier, and it is the most hardcore proof of the three words "he deserves it".

Old Ye stared at the plaque, feeling as if someone had poured a whole jar of five-flavor sauce into his heart, a mixture of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, making his chest feel stuffy.

He never imagined that President Gao would take out all his treasures for the nine-year-old boy Chen Haonan.

How can this be considered a plea?

It was obvious that he was risking his entire life's honor, and even the merits of his entire family, to give that child a chance!

The people around had long forgotten the rule of "not talking about the top management" and gathered together to whisper. Their voices were low, but they couldn't hide the shock in their eyes.

Several veterans stared at the plaque and sighed, their tone full of emotion.

"Oh my god! That's the 'Pillar of a Great Nation,' right? My grandfather was a cook in the army back then, and he told me about this plaque. He said it's rarely seen in peacetime, and only those who have made extraordinary contributions during wartime can get it!"

"Boss Gao is really going all out! For the sake of a child, he's even revealed this most cherished honor. How much does he value Chen Haonan?"

"No wonder President Gao has always been protective of that kid. It turns out that in his heart, Chen Haonan isn't a 'problem soldier' ​​at all. He's the man he's destined to succeed him!"

"This is going to cause a huge uproar! Mr. Gao will go to the commander-in-chief with this sign. The commander-in-chief will definitely want to see him! When the matter of the trial court is investigated, Lei Zhan and his gang will probably be finished!"

Director Wang's face had already turned pale, with beads of sweat running down his cheeks.

He never dreamed that President Gao would make such a big fuss over Chen Haonan.

Director Wang hurriedly came to Mr. Ye's side.

"Mr. Ye! We can't let President Gao go like this! If he goes to the commander-in-chief with this sign, he'll definitely blow the whistle on the matter of the Inquisition! If they investigate, we'll both be implicated, and we might even be held accountable for 'failure to supervise'!"

"How about... we send guards to stop them? Just say, 'There's an emergency meeting at the military headquarters. Please postpone your trip to the headquarters.' Let's calm them down first."

Old Ye turned around slowly, the anger in his eyes gone, only a heavy feeling of powerlessness remained.

He shook his head, his voice much lower than before, but with an indescribable solemnity: "Stop? How do you stop?"

"Just the two of us? Just these guards?"

"You know the weight of this sign—blocking it would be like blocking the nation's recognition of its soldiers. If word gets out, what will the soldiers think? 'We worked so hard to achieve merit, but in the end, we can't even keep our honor.' If this undermines the morale of the troops, who will bear the responsibility?"

He paused, raised his hand to wipe his face, and rubbed the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.

"Ultimately, our dispute with President Gao is about a child's commando unit. It's a policy disagreement, about whether or not to give newcomers a chance. There's no need to get to the point of a catastrophe. Pushing him too far won't benefit anyone."

Director Wang wanted to say something, but Mr. Ye waved his hand and interrupted him. His eyes turned cold again and his tone became harder.

"No matter what, that kid can't just get away like that! He's kidnapped officials and rebelled against the court. Even if General Gao is protecting him, we have to catch him first! What's going on with the Wolf Fang? The people we sent out haven't stopped him yet?"

When mentioning Chen Haonan, Director Wang lowered his head even more, his tone full of helplessness.

"The Wolf Fang team dispatched special forces to apprehend the kid a long time ago. They chased him for quite some time, but for some reason, many checkpoints at the base were 'relaxing'—some sentries said they 'didn't see the license plate clearly,' some said they 'were going too fast to stop him,' and some simply raised the electronic barriers and waited for the kid's car to pass!"

He sighed, frustration etched in his voice.

"Just now, there was news from the Wolf's Den that Chen Haonan's car has already passed the three checkpoints of the Wolf Fang base. Further ahead is the highway outside the base. Once he gets on the national highway, it will be even harder to catch him!"

"Release the water?"

Mr. Ye's face darkened and his brows instantly twisted into knots.

"These soldiers are so brave! They dared to disobey the military order and show favoritism for a 'defector'!"

He paced back and forth twice, then suddenly stopped and his eyes became determined.

"Let the Thunder Commandos go!"

"If those special forces can't catch him, then let Lei Dian do it! Lei Zhan and his men have a grudge against Chen Haonan and will definitely not let him go. Besides, they are familiar with the base's terrain and have enough combat power. Only they can catch that child!"

"Call He Zhijun immediately and have him make the arrangements! Tell Lei Zhan that Chen Haonan must be stopped within the Wolf Fang base at all costs and not allowed to escape!"

"Yes!"

Director Wang didn't dare to delay and immediately took out his cell phone and called He Zhijun...

Mr. Ye stood there, looking at the direction where President Gao was leaving, feeling like a stone was pressing on his heart.

He knew that Gao Shiwei's visit would definitely shock the Commander-in-Chief's Office, and Chen Haonan's case would probably have to be reopened and re-investigated.

But before that, he must catch the person first, otherwise the joke that "the military can't even stop a child" will spread throughout the military region and make him lose face.

On the other side, as soon as Fan Tianlei hung up the phone with He Zhijun, his brows furrowed into a 川 shape and his face became frighteningly gloomy, as if it was going to rain.

He had just sent Chen Shanming and Miao Lang with people to intercept Chen Haonan, and specifically instructed them "Don't fight hard, try to persuade him to come back."

Why does Wolf Head want to send the Thunder Commandos again?

This is too sensitive!

The Thunder Commandos were directly involved in Yan Wang's sacrifice, and Lei Zhan insisted that "Chen Haonan had Yan Wang killed." Asking them to arrest Chen Haonan was like asking the plaintiff to arrest the defendant. If this got out, everyone would think the military was "taking revenge"!

Fan Tianlei was just about to call He Zhijun again to try and see if he could switch teams, but his cell phone rang again, and the words "Wolf Head" were clearly displayed on the screen.

He took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and spoke as calmly as possible.

"Wolf Head, I don't think it's appropriate to let Lei Dian go. After all, they have an old grudge against Chen Haonan. If they don't use enough force, or if someone catches them and starts gossiping about them, it would be bad..."

"Nothing unexpected!"

On the other end of the phone, He Zhijun's voice was as hard as a piece of iron. He interrupted him directly, and his tone was full of majesty that could not be refuted.

"This is an order from the military! It's an instruction from Elder Ye himself. Do you dare to disobey? Or do you think that I, the commander of the Wolf Fang, can't control you, a staff officer?"

Fan Tianlei was silent.

He knew He Zhijun's temper too well. Once it came to "orders" and "instructions", there was no room for negotiation.

To be honest, He Zhijun had long disliked Chen Haonan and did not want to see the Magic Pill Base continue to exist.

Chen Haonan’s “defection” this time is simply the best opportunity for him to “solve the problem”.

As long as Lei Zhan catches Chen Haonan, he will be able to prove his crime of "defection". At that time, even if President Gao protects him, it will be too late to save him.

Because Chen Haonan's rise was like a thorn that pierced He Zhijun's heart.

In the past, Langya was the only child in the Southeast Military Region and the darling to whom all resources were allocated. However, ever since Chen Haonan showed up, General Gao’s attention was all drawn to that child, and Langya’s funding and mission priority were also greatly reduced.

Not to mention, Chen Haonan has "slapped Langya in the face" many times.

During the exercise, they defeated all the special commandos of Langya and snatched the championship from Langya. Even in the military meeting, General Gao said more than once that "we should learn from the Big Black Commando."

"I understand." Fan Tianlei's tone was full of helplessness, and he could only nod, "I will notify Lei Zhan right away and have them gather and set off immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Fan Tianlei immediately gave orders.

"Lei Zhan! Assemble the Thunder Commandos immediately, fully armed, and go intercept Chen Haonan!"

There was no trace of emotion in Fan Tianlei's voice.

"The target vehicle is an olive green off-road military vehicle with license plate number Jun A-0739. Chen Haonan and Minister Li are in it. They are currently fleeing towards the highway outside the base. Take the shortcut from the eastern side and stop them!"

"Yes!"

Lei Zhan's voice was full of excitement.

"I promise to complete the mission! This time I will definitely catch that little bastard and avenge the King of Hell!"

Lei Zhan has waited for this moment for too long.

Just now in court, Chen Haonan caused a scene in the courtroom, beating people and throwing bombs.

He and Old Fox and others did not dare to really take action because they were worried about "accidental injury" and "disruption of court order", which resulted in them being beaten by Chen Haonan all the time, and they didn't even have time to avenge the King of Hell.

Now that he has received orders from the military, he can finally take action with justification!

Lei Zhan secretly vowed to catch the little bastard Chen Haonan, give him a good "teach" and make him responsible for Yan Wang's death.

At this moment, the door of the court was slammed open.

An Ran rushed in from outside, her hair messed up by the wind.

Her eyes were red, yet frighteningly bright, like two burning flames, staring straight at Fan Tianlei and Lei Zhan who was about to go out.

His chest was heaving violently. It was obvious that he had run a long distance. He couldn't even catch his breath, and he was breathing rapidly when he spoke.

When Lei Zhan saw An Ran, he was stunned for a moment, then a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was full of disdain.

"An Ran, what are you doing here? Are you here to plead for your boyfriend Chen Haonan? Let me tell you, it's useless! This time, the military has ordered that no one can save him!"

"shut up!"

An Ran suddenly raised her voice, like a thunderclap exploding in the command center, making people's ears buzz.

"Lei Zhan, what qualifications do you have to say such things?!"

She took a step forward, her eyes cold and her voice full of anger, almost a roar.

"The Thunder Commandos are guilty! The Inquisition hasn't been disbanded at all. The truth behind Yan Wang's sacrifice hasn't been revealed, and your mistakes in command haven't been resolved. Why should we let you arrest people?!"

"Who are you saying is guilty?!"

Lei Zhan's face instantly turned purple, and he pointed at An Ran's nose and roared, spitting out saliva.

"The King of Hell sacrificed himself to save you! And now you're helping his murderer and scolding us? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? Are you worthy of the King of Hell's spirit in heaven?"

"Who is the culprit who killed the King of Hell? Don't you have any idea?!"

Anran's voice became louder.

"Director Wen just brought three surveillance videos, clearly showing you changing the plan without authorization. It was you who ignored Yan Wang's advice and insisted on using him as bait to draw fire, leading to his death! Lei Zhan, do you dare to say in front of everyone that you didn't make any mistakes in command? Do you dare to say you're not responsible for Yan Wang's death?"

Everyone was frightened by the sudden quarrel. They stopped what they were doing, not daring to breathe, and looked at An Ran and Lei Zhan. No one dared to speak.

Everyone knew that An Ran was telling the truth.

It was indeed Lei Zhan who imitated Chen Haonan and changed the plan, which led to the subsequent tragedy.

Fan Tianlei frowned and took a step forward to try to stop the fight. Just as he was about to say "Let's talk it over nicely", he was stopped by An Ran's eyes.

An Ran turned to Fan Tianlei, her tone full of questions. Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, but was extremely firm.

"Staff Officer Fan, you're a veteran leader with decades of service. You know the rules better than anyone! The trial hasn't concluded, the case hasn't been sentenced yet. How can a unit still under trial, with no charges, carry out an arrest mission? If this gets out, how will others view the Southeast Military Region? How will they view the Wolf Fang? Will they accuse us of 'taking personal revenge'? Or that we're 'deliberately suppressing dissidents to prevent the truth from being exposed'?"

"Even if they need to arrest someone, they should send a neutral team, like one of the other Langya commandos, or the military's direct inspection team! Instead of the Thunder Commandos! They have a history with Chen Haonan, a personal grudge. Who can guarantee that they won't take revenge? Who can guarantee that they won't kill Chen Haonan? Who can guarantee that they won't destroy the evidence that is detrimental to them?"

These words exploded in the courtroom like thunder. The originally noisy air froze instantly, and the whole place was so quiet that one could hear each other's breathing.
