This is the second time Meng Qingxiao has entered the detention center. Both times he has been treated in a single room, which is actually a kind of torture for him who likes to be lively.
Different from Meng Qingxiao's treatment, the others were locked up together. This was a large hall converted into a temporary detention center. There were not only members of the Garden Gang and the Iron Tower Gang, but also other idle young people in society. Wuyang A large area of Wuyang has a very noisy environment.
Meng Qingxiao can clearly feel that the situation is different this time. He has been detained here for 6 days and still has not been released. No one has even asked him to question him. He took the initiative to ask the guarding police officers. They were very easy to talk to and were very polite to Meng Qingxiao. They also offered to help him get newspapers to entertain him when he was bored. However, when he asked about other things, they had no idea.
On the seventh day, Meng Qingxiao's whole body was already in a state of dissociation. He sat blankly on the edge of the bed, mindless, and vaguely seemed to hear a voice calling his name.
"Meng Qingxiao."
"Meng Qingxiao——"
"Meng Qingxiao!"
"Oh, here, here, here... here!" Meng Qingxiao stood up in a hurry. He finally came back to his senses and found that someone was indeed calling him. At some point, the door had opened, and there was a man in uniform standing at the door. Because of the light problem, he couldn't see clearly what kind of clothing it was. The other party had called him many times, and his tone gradually revealed a hint of impatience.
"come out!"
"yes."
Meng Qingxiao had an experience and knew that these people had a cold face at work and were too lazy to pay attention to anything they asked, so he did not ask and just followed them silently.
Gradually, Meng Qingxiao realized something was wrong. They actually walked out of the police station. It was only then that Meng Qingxiao's eyes had adapted to the light, and he noticed that the uniformed man leading the way was not wearing a police uniform. But military uniform.
A domestic car parked in front of the police station, and the man got into the passenger seat without closing the rear door, leaving it open for Meng Qingxiao.
"Come up." A very familiar voice came from the car, said by a man sitting in the back seat.
Meng Qingxiao lowered his head slightly and saw that it was Zheng Weiguo. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Captain?"
He hurriedly walked two steps to get into the car, and continued: "How did you--" Then he immediately remembered the reason why he was detained for three days the first time, and his face changed involuntarily, and he asked: "Won't it happen again this time? Is this what you did?"
"Shit, don't accuse me wrongly. This time you brought it upon yourself and it has nothing to do with me. I came here to get you on the orders of the brigade commander."
Meng Qingxiao was shocked and said: "Did you alert the brigade commander?"
"Are you still alarming the brigade commander? Hum, you guys are really giving me a hard time this time. This is a note written by the Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief, naming you and handing you over to the military department for disposal."
"Captain, you are the conscience of heaven and earth. I just went to persuade you to have a fight. How could it be so serious?"
"Just tell me if you did anything?"
"I -" Meng Qingxiao was speechless. He recalled what happened that night and couldn't help but feel sad and angry. "It's all the fault of that stinky girl Wan Qiyan. She is trying to harm me."
"Isn't it just the end of the matter after you take action? It's useless to tell me the reason. This matter is now beyond my scope of authority. As for whether to punish you and how to punish you, it all depends on the wishes of the superiors."
"Alas, I have long said that I will not be a hero. Ever since I was given this title, I have never had a comfortable life. I have been shady all day long. No matter where I go, I have to cover up and hide. , not comfortable at all." Meng Qingxiao looked downcast and continued to complain, "Even a fight has to be on the line. My dad has made so many contributions to the country, but he has never seen the Minister of Defense write anything. I’m just going to join in the fight, that’s all?”
"It's enough for you kid. You still complain about this and that when you are obviously wrong. It's okay for you to complain twice in front of me. When you get to the brigade commander, you have to correct your attitude and admit your mistake carefully. Don't find any excuses. Reason, do you understand?"
"Yes, understand."
Zheng Weiguo saw that Meng Qingxiao was quite depressed, so he patted his shoulder and comforted him: "What a big deal, be happy, don't be downcast."
"I'm fine, I just feel a little bored."
"You have to think on the bright side. How else can the leader punish you? The most they can do is take back your title of hero. Isn't that what you want? With this burden off, you can be a normal person again."
Meng Qingxiao nodded.
"Cheer up, don't be downcast, I'm upset." Zheng Weiguo suddenly became stern, "A soldier must have the aura of a soldier. No matter how big the setbacks are, he must hold his head high and show his unyielding will. ,Understand?"
"clear."
"That's right." Zheng Weiguo said appreciatively, "I, Zheng Weiguo's soldiers, can make mistakes, but they must never be cowards. Don't let me see the bearish look you just looked like in the future. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Very good, you are worthy of this military uniform now." Zheng Weiguo took out a bag from behind and threw it into Meng Qingxiao's lap, and continued: "Hurry up and put it on."
This is a brand new military uniform with two stripes marking the rank of captain. Even his gold star badge was brought by Zheng Weiguo. It was kept at his home. Zheng Weiguo had obviously been to his home beforehand. .
Meng Qingxiao held the badge in his hand, and suddenly felt that he was really ashamed of this treasure. He asked lightly: "Does my mother know?"
"What about your fight? How could such a thing be known to the elderly? Bandits know that it will bring harm to their families, let alone our people's army. Don't worry, according to the confidentiality regulations, we didn't say anything, and she won't ask anything in the future. , your mother is more knowledgeable than you about this matter."
The car quickly drove to the military headquarters, and the guard let him go after checking his ID.
Zheng Weiguo parked the car temporarily in the courtyard and said to Meng Qingxiao: "Room 202, second floor, building five, hurry up."
Meng Qingxiao opened the door and got out of the car. He met many ordinary soldiers along the way. They all saluted after seeing his military rank. He had long been accustomed to this kind of scene and just chose to ignore it. If you nod and smile at an ordinary soldier, , but it will make the other party feel uncomfortable.
Soon after arriving outside 202, Meng Qingxiao carefully arranged his clothes again, and then shouted loudly: "Report!"
"Come in." A deep voice came from the room.
Meng Qingxiao pushed the door open and came in. At a glance, he saw his immediate superior, Sun Zhongfu, the commander of the 72nd Brigade. He was sitting in the middle. There were two strangers on both sides of him. Their military ranks were two military commanders.
"Report to the chief, Meng Qingxiao is here to report."
"Sit." Sun Zhongfu pointed to the stool in front of them.
There is no hypocrisy or politeness in the military camp. All the words of the commander are orders. If you are offered a seat, you must sit down.
"Yes." Meng Qingxiao sat down after the order.
"Meng Qingxiao, do you know why I called you here this time?"
"Come and accept the punishment." Meng Qingxiao almost blurted out these words, but the words reached his throat and he swallowed them back, temporarily changing them to "Please give instructions from the chief."
Sun Zhongfu said: "This is Cui Changgui, the commander of the 88th Army, and this is Hou Liwei, the commander of the 89th Army. As for what happened on the night of October 16th, don't feel pressured. We have already investigated it clearly. The person involved in the fight was Yuan Lin. Those people from the Iron Tower Gang and the Iron Tower Gang, as for you, were dragged into the situation by the mathematician's daughter. Fighting is actually nothing to us soldiers, so there is no administrative penalty for you."
"The Tower Gang and the Garden Gang must be disbanded in the future, but it is not easy to keep so many unsettled elements in Shengyi District, so we plan to directly integrate them into one team."
Cui Changgui was impatient to deal with the nonsense and directly interrupted: "We asked you to come here this time because we have a difficult task for you."
"Do you know why the three of us are meeting you together? Commander-in-Chief Min's son Min Keyong, he is from our 88th Army. And Fei Junding, the son of Deputy Commander Fei, is a subordinate of Commander Hou of the 89th Army. Holy I won’t introduce you to the remaining gangsters in the community one by one. You must be more familiar with them than me, most of them are working under me and Commander Hou.”
"This is actually an unsettling factor for us, because you can't expect them to be useful at critical moments, so there must be someone who can handle the situation to manage them. After much thought, we finally decided I think it is most appropriate for you to take over. This task is still very difficult. Now I want to hear your statement. Do you have the confidence to do it well? "
Meng Qingxiao was completely confused. He didn't know what to do for a moment. Was he confident in his answer? Then he is lying. He cannot have confidence. Does he answer that he has no confidence? The three chiefs were looking at him, so how could he speak?
Hou Liwei knew what was going on as soon as he saw Meng Qingxiao's expression. Commander Cui acted vigorously and resolutely, but he still said this matter too hastily, which frightened Meng Qingxiao.
Hou Liwei chuckled and said, "You don't need to answer for now. You can think about it carefully before speaking. Let me talk about the arrangements for your position first. Originally, we planned to form a company for you and make you the company commander. But after thinking about it, , and felt that this was inappropriate. There has never been a captain in the history of the Qiang Han Kingdom who deigned to be a company commander, so we made a temporary change and helped you form a joint team, with you as the captain and directly under the command of the regimental commander. Position The rank is equivalent to that of a battalion commander."
"As for you, don't feel any pressure. This captain just lets you practice your skills and don't make too many mistakes. Your brigade commander has been praising you in front of me, saying that with your ability, in two years, you can do The leader is also more than enough.”
Cui Changgui interjected again: "Young people, you still have to be motivated. How about you, young man, if you dare to accept it, please give me a happy word."
