I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

Wu Hanfeng took the notebook from Zhao Yihang, opened it, and removed the pen cap.

"Liu Zhen, captain of the first company of the training battalion of XX unit, Cao Meng, captain of the fourth company, Song Yizhou, squad leader of the first company, and He Yong, squad leader of the second company, violated the camp management regulations by having a meal together after lights out."

The pen tip fell, scratching softly, and a line of neat characters climbed onto the notebook.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhen flew into a rage: "Wu Hanfeng! Don't go too far! We're your captain and squad leader, after all! Is this how you take revenge on someone else's behalf?!"

Wu Hanfeng paused, his pen poised.

He looked up at Liu Zhen, his face showing a genuinely genuine confusion.

"Settling personal scores?"

"Captain Liu, what exactly are you referring to as this 'personal grudge'?"

The room fell silent instantly.

Liu Zhen was immediately speechless.

It’s over.

He realized what was happening.

But by the time they realized it, they had already stepped into the pit.

What is the premise for "using public office to settle private scores"? The premise is that there is "hatred".

What grudge?

They stole Wu Hanfeng's snacks, but they refused to admit it and even tried to frame him, which created a feud.

If he dares to say, "You're retaliating because we ate your snacks," it's tantamount to admitting that we stole your food.

Just five minutes ago we were vehemently denying that we actually ate that pile of stuff.

But if he denies any grudge, then the accusation of "using public office for private revenge" falls apart, and he has no grounds to question Wu Hanfeng's disciplinary actions.

A dead end where both sides are blocked.

Cao Meng and He Yong were so anxious that they kept winking at Liu Zhen, trying their best to signal him not to say the wrong thing.

Song Yizhou lowered his head slightly, pressed his thumb against his temple, and sighed silently.

Lost.

The moment you utter the words "using public office to settle private scores," you've already lost.

Zhao Yihang stood half a step behind Wu Hanfeng, holding a notebook, trying his best to look serious and proper.

But the corners of his mouth were desperately trying to turn up, so he had to bite down hard on the inside of his mouth to suppress the laughter that was about to burst out.

too strong.

He was frantically scrolling through comments in his mind.

With just three sentences and a rhetorical question, they silenced four team leaders and squad leaders who were usually so fierce they could stop a child from crying at night.

This is the fucking art of language!

This is a classic example of logical superiority!

This is how you subdue the enemy without fighting!

He recalled what He Dong had told him before.

"The deputy squad leader has a sharp tongue; when he starts arguing, it's like a machine gun. You can't dodge it because what he says makes so much sense."

At the time, he thought Ho Tung was bragging, but now he just wants to apologize to Ho Tung.

I was just too superficial.

"Alright." Wu Hanfeng finished writing the last word, closed the notebook, handed it to Zhao Yihang to put away, then raised his head, his gaze slowly sweeping across the four people's faces, with that not-so-sincere smile still on his lips.

"Now let's talk about the next steps."

All four of them tensed up instantly.

"The situation is both serious and not serious."

"Gathering for meals, misappropriating items handed in by trainees, and not going to bed on time after lights out—these three violations combined, if reported severely, will result in a public reprimand, a written self-criticism, and will be recorded in the individual's file, definitely affecting their year-end performance evaluation."

Upon hearing this, the four of them immediately tensed up.

"But—" Wu Hanfeng changed the subject, drawing out a meaningful tone, "I have a habit of not escalating things that can be resolved internally."

"After all, we're all comrades in the training unit now, and we'll see each other all the time, so there's no need to push things too far."

All four of them had their eyes light up at the same time.

This kid still has some conscience.

But next second...

"So, I'm giving you a choice."

Wu Hanfeng smiled and said, "You four, go down to the playground and, by the light of the streetlights, each of you write a 10,000-word self-criticism."

"The content must be profound, the attitude must be sincere, and time must be of the essence; it must be finished before dawn."

"Hand it over to me when you're done writing, and that's the end of it for tonight. I'll tear this page out of the notebook in front of you."

The four of them were stunned when they heard this!

"Ten thousand words? You just said ten thousand words?" Liu Zhen exclaimed.

Cao Meng's eyes widened as well. "Do you know what ten thousand words means? Even if you wrote until dawn, you still wouldn't finish!"

Song Yizhou quickly stepped forward, forcing a smile, and whispered, "Comrade Wu Hanfeng, we were indeed wrong. We shouldn't have taken your food. We'll make it up to you, okay? We'll give you three portions!"

"Look, let's just let this go, shall we? You just said it yourself, we're all comrades in the training unit. You only go on duty occasionally, and afterwards, don't you have to train with us? It doesn't seem good to ruin our relationship, does it?"

Wu Hanfeng slightly raised his eyes and looked at Song Yizhou. "Oh? From what Squad Leader Song is saying, if I insist on correcting you today, you'll make things difficult for me in training later, is that what you mean?"

Song Yizhou waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say... leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future, hehehe..."

Wu Hanfeng looked at the other three. Although their expressions were still somewhat tough, their eyes held a hint of unease and panic.

If it's discovered by the division's disciplinary inspectors, at worst they'll just write a self-criticism and let it go internally; at worst, they'll get a scolding from Captain Qin and that'll be the end of it.

The problem is, Wu Hanfeng is a military police officer!

Although they didn't know why Wu Hanfeng, the military police officer, was on the training list for the Third Regiment.

I don't know why people who come for training can still carry their certificates and perform duties.

But now, they've caught them red-handed, with their identification, military uniforms, and notebooks in hand!

If this matter is reported by the garrison command, the four of them will be considered to have led the way in violating regulations in a training corps, a place that cultivates reserve cadres and emphasizes discipline and serves as a model for others.

That's not as simple as just writing a self-criticism!

It's not impossible that they'll be disciplined!

This could affect their chances of advancing as officers, being promoted as sergeants, or receiving awards and commendations at the end of the year!

Wu Hanfeng looked at the four men and said, "To be honest, when I came to the training team, I never thought I would wear this uniform on duty."

"What I'm thinking is that when it's time to train, we should train properly."

"I'm here to learn and receive training."

"Even if you squad leaders and platoon leaders try every means to test my limits and figure out my ways all afternoon and evening, I don't care."

"Because this is your right, and it's your rule of the game, and I will abide by it."

"But you shouldn't have eaten the food my comrade gave me, then mocked me behind my back, and even when you were caught, you stubbornly refused to admit it."

"We're all comrades-in-arms. You say you're hungry, or that the snacks will spoil if left out too long, and you want to try some. As a veteran of the second term, how could I, Wu Hanfeng, refuse to give you some food?"

These words made the four men blush and dare not look Wu Hanfeng in the eye.

Wu Hanfeng shrugged slightly. "Fine, since you all say I'm using my position for personal revenge, then I admit it. So what if I used my position for personal revenge?"

"It's my right to enforce the rules, so if you're so capable, then don't break them! Did I force you to break the rules? Did I force-feed you snacks?"

The four people: "..."
