Wife is safe, cute baby makes trouble in the world of special forces.
Chapter 498 Aren't you afraid of Commander Gao's wrath?
An Ran, He Chenguang, and the others were very dissatisfied.
"Why are we being locked up?"
"Yan Wang's death was caused by Lei Zhan's command error, it has nothing to do with us, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the instructors! Instead of arresting the culprit who made the mistake, you arrest us who are speaking out for justice, is this military discipline? This is pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth!"
"Exactly, we disagreed and spoke up for the instructors, but it turned into 'inciting a disturbance'? This double standard is too much."
"That's right, why are you locking us up? How can you do this to your military uniforms? Don't you have any conscience?"
He Zhijun's face was icy cold. He glanced at An Ran and the others, his eyes as cold as ice.
"He blew up the courtroom with explosives and kidnapped Minister Li. These are undeniable crimes. You are his people, and you joined in the disturbance. Being put in solitary confinement is the least of your worries."
"This is not fair!"
An Ran took half a step forward.
"He was forced into it! Those people were pushing him to his death. If you were in his shoes, could you just stand by and watch the team you've fought so hard to protect be disbanded, watch yourself be framed as a 'murderer,' and obediently wait for the conviction?"
Her voice trembled, not from fear, but from anger and feeling wronged for Chen Haonan.
"Don't you know what's going on in the courtroom? The surveillance evidence that Director Wen brought was suppressed, and witnesses were prevented from speaking. From beginning to end, it was Lei Zhan and the presiding judge putting on a show. If he didn't do this, who would give him justice? Are you just going to watch him be trampled underfoot like trash, without even a chance to defend himself, and ultimately be convicted without any explanation?"
Director Wen watched with concern and couldn't help but step forward, offering his advice with a cautious tone.
"Old He, this matter can't be entirely blamed on that kid."
He rubbed his hands together, trying to ease the tension, but he was afraid that saying something too harsh would offend He Zhijun.
"How old is he? Eight or nine years old, still a minor. He's at the age where he's hot-blooded and can't tolerate any injustice. If we were young and faced with this kind of injustice that we couldn't explain, we might have made a bigger fuss than him. Besides, he's done quite a few good deeds before."
"You should know that he killed Hydra and Hydra, even Scorpion, Magee and Blood Cherry Mercenary Group. In addition, he managed to snatch the championship from the veteran commando team in the last three-army exercise and the national special forces competition."
“This ability and courage are rare in the entire army. Could we... could we not detain him yet, and wait until the truth is found out before sentencing him? Giving the child a lenient sentence and a chance would be a fair assessment of his previous contributions.”
"There is no 'can't' or 'can't'."
He Zhijun interrupted him, his voice suddenly rising, carrying an unyielding force.
"Old Wen, this is an internal matter of the Wolf Fang Special Operations Brigade. It's none of our business to interfere. We'll handle it ourselves, so please don't worry about it."
His gaze swept over the non-Wolf Fang members present like a knife, his tone implying that they should be asked to leave.
"If you have nothing else, please leave. We, the Wolf Fang, will handle the case according to the rules and report the results to the military."
He knew that Director Wen meant well, but this matter involved lightning and the reputation of Wolf Fang. The more people involved, the greater the risk of things getting out of control.
If Director Wen were to leak the evidence to the military, the matter would be completely out of control.
He must first clear out the outsiders and take control of the situation.
An Ran gritted her teeth, her cheeks puffed out, as if she had made a tremendous decision.
She couldn't watch Chen Haonan be wrongfully killed, nor could she watch He Zhijun make one mistake after another.
"I'm not!"
An Ran suddenly raised her voice.
"Instructors Bull Head and Horse Face are still waiting outside! Wolf Head, you're arresting people without even asking what happened. Do you really think nobody can control you? Do you really think the military is your private property?"
She took out her phone, the screen lit up, showing a text message she had just sent. The recipient's name was "Instructor Bull Head," and the content was clearly visible: "Instructor Bull Head, Wolf Head wants to put us in solitary confinement, and Lei Zhan also wants to capture Chen Haonan. Help me go to the military headquarters to find Commander Gao immediately!"
"I've already informed them!"
An Ran brought her phone screen closer to He Zhijun, speaking each word with conviction.
“They said this matter is no longer something Wolf Fang can cover up—you are framing a national special forces champion and suppressing a meritorious individual! They’re going to complain to the military and get the higher-ups to investigate! You wait, there’s always a place where you can seek justice!”
He Zhijun's face instantly turned ashen, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
He stared intently at An Ran, his tone threatening, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth.
“An Ran, do you know what you’re saying? You’re going against the military, against Wolf Fang! You want to be sent to trial and convicted along with Chen Haonan, don’t you?”
He didn't expect An Ran to be so tough, even bringing up "the military" and "General Gao" directly.
He Zhijun wasn't afraid of An Ran making a scene; what he feared was that the matter would reach General Manager Gao.
The entire army knew how much General Gao valued Chen Haonan.
If General Gao finds out that he handled things this way, not only will he be in trouble as the brigade commander, but the entire Wolf Fang team will be in deep trouble!
An Ran shook her head, but instead of retreating, she took another step forward, almost touching He Zhijun, speaking each word clearly.
"I'm not afraid! Wolf Head, have you forgotten who made me step down from my position as Chief of Staff of Wolf Fang and go undercover in the Public Security Bureau? It was you! You said that Staff Officer Fan was more knowledgeable about tactics and deployment and more suitable for that position, so you asked me to go undercover to investigate clues about the gang. I went without saying a word, without even having a chance to say goodbye to my family, because I was afraid that the news would leak and ruin the mission!"
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she had returned to that night when she was on the brink of life and death, and her eyes instantly reddened.
“During that mission, my identity was exposed by Liu’s army. I was helpless and had no one to help me. It was Chen Haonan! It was this kid you are now trying to convict who saved me! In total, he saved me three times.”
“Every time, he appears alone, fighting the enemy without regard for his own life. I just want to ask, why should such a person be treated unfairly?”
An Ran's voice grew louder and louder, almost shouting.
"So, what gives you the right to treat him like this? Just because he dared to challenge Lei Zhan and question this unfair trial? Just because he's not one of your own, not one of your 'obedient soldiers'? Have you forgotten what the original mission of Wolf Fang was? It was to protect good soldiers and meritorious individuals, not to protect mediocre and useless people, and not to suppress truly talented individuals!"
She took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently, and years of pent-up grievances and anger finally erupted at that moment.
Having lived in Langya for many years, she considers this place her home and He Zhijun her mentor.
But He Zhijun's actions now make her feel both unfamiliar and disheartened.
"I've worked my way up from a greenhorn to chief of staff in Wolf Fang, giving the best years of my life here. But what you're doing now disgusts me! This isn't protecting your own, it's blindness! It's stupidity! It's pushing real talent out and ruining Wolf Fang's reputation!"
An Ran pointed sharply towards the door, her knuckles turning white from the force, her tone full of accusation and a desperate, resolute determination.
"Also, did you think that he set up the Demon Pill Base and the Big Black Commando Team under the command of Wolf Fang? No! They belong to General Gao! They are directly under the headquarters."
"Back then, General Manager Gao personally made the decision, saying that this kid was a once-in-a-century talent who needed to be nurtured. He even personally approved the funding, the training grounds, and the equipment! Now, without General Manager Gao's consent, you've disbanded the team and accused Chen Haonan of 'defection.' This is overstepping your authority! This is acting on your own initiative! Do you think you can cover this up? When General Manager Gao comes back, aren't you afraid he'll blame you? Can you bear the consequences?"
"Let me tell you, General Gao is at the military headquarters right now! He already knows about this and is arguing with Elder Ye to get Chen Haonan a chance for a reinvestigation!"
An Ran clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh, and she didn't even notice the blood seeping out. Her eyes were full of determination.
"If you really drive this kid to the brink, not only will we, the people of Dahei, be unhappy, but the military will not let you off the hook, and General Gao will certainly not forgive you! You should weigh the pros and cons yourself: is protecting this good-for-nothing Lei Zhan more important, or is the reputation of Wolf Fang more important!"
Her words struck like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.
The members of the Wolf Fang team present all lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.
Everyone knows Gao's temper; he's protective of his own and reasonable, and what he hates most is "suppressing meritorious officials" and "not distinguishing right from wrong." If he had known that He Zhijun would handle things this way, he probably would have really overturned the Wolf Fang command headquarters!
Moreover, they all basically knew that General Manager Gao had adopted Chen Haonan as his godson.
Both morally and logically, President Gao would do everything he could to protect Chen Haonan.
He Zhijun closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, the anger in his eyes had faded, replaced by weariness and struggle.
He knew An Ran was right.
But now he's in a difficult situation.
On one side is the pressure from the military, on the other side is the entanglement between Lei Zhan and Fang Tangjing, and on yet another side is the authority of General Gao.
If he gives in, he'll be contradicting himself; if he doesn't, he'll be going against General Manager Gao.
He Zhijun didn't say anything more, but just waved his hand, signaling the guards surrounding An Ran and the others to step back.
He needs time to think about whether he made a mistake and how to end things.
The courtroom fell silent instantly, with only the clock on the wall ticking away as if counting down, reminding him that time was running out.
At that moment, Chen Haonan grabbed Minister Li's arm and roughly pulled him out of the car.
Minister Li was a little scared, worried that he would be beaten again, so he had no choice but to back down.
"Little ancestor, let's talk this out, don't hit me... okay?"
He had seen many ruthless people in his life, but he had never seen anyone so young with such a cold and emotionless gaze.
Chen Haonan looked at him as if he were a piece of useless trash, without anger or emotion, only a cold indifference.
That look sent chills down his spine; it was more terrifying than having a gun pointed at him.
Chen Haonan ignored his pleas for mercy, his eyes as cold as ice.
He had only one thought in his mind.
Take Minister Li to the military headquarters and make him reveal the whole truth.
How did Lei Zhan shift the blame? How did Fang Tangjing show favoritism? Who was behind the scenes instructing to disband Dahei and frame him?
Even if the road is difficult, even if he is ultimately convicted, he will expose the true colors of these people and prevent them from continuing to harm others.
He had just pulled Minister Li to the side of the road to make sure he was standing still.
Two familiar figures emerged from the nearby woods and blocked his way.
It was Chen Shanming and Miao Lang.
The two men, dressed in camouflage training uniforms, steadily raised their assault rifles, the muzzles pointing directly at Chen Haonan.
The dark muzzles of the guns looked like two mouths ready to devour people, and they were even breathing very quietly, clearly indicating that they had been lying in ambush for a long time.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly, and even the wind seemed to stop.
Chen Shanming's face was expressionless, but his eyes held a complex look.
He knew Chen Haonan's capabilities; in just a few months, he had built a formidable special commando team, a level of strength that was virtually unmatched in the entire army.
Therefore, he wholeheartedly approves of this child.
But military orders are absolute, and he had no choice but to come.
Chen Shanming took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said to Chen Haonan in a deep voice, "Surrender, little guy."
