Chapter 6: Sign or Go to Jail

  Wang Weiye led the group of young brothers back to the new recruit class and warned them not to make any rash moves, telling them to stay in the house honestly. He knew that this matter had already blown up. Moreover, he understood more clearly in his heart that although he hadn't used excessive force, it was only relative, and there must be several old soldiers who would be disabled for life. Since Li stood on his side, coupled with the relationship of his family's elderly man, he thought it was impossible to be sentenced, but this military uniform would not be worn again. And when he went home, being beaten by the old master was inevitable, and only ghosts knew where the old master would send him in the future. Now Wang Weiye didn't want to think too much about these problems, so he sat cross-legged on the big kang, closed his eyes, and began to breathe slowly.

  Wang Qiang arrived at New Soldier Class One where Wang Weiye was, accompanied by instructor Li Hui.

  New recruit Class 1 Monitor Tong Wei, seeing the instructor accompany a superior officer to enter, immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "All stand up, attention!" He gave a standard military salute and said loudly: "Report to the superior comrade, New Recruit Class 1 is currently resting, please give instructions."

  Wang Weiye didn't close his five senses while he was meditating. When Wang Qiang walked towards the new recruits' barracks, Wang Weiye already knew. When the instructor Tong Wei gave orders, he didn't get up but continued to sit on the bed and meditate, shooting a weak stream of true energy at this newly arrived commander.

  When Wang Qiang walked into the new recruit class, he felt a surge of energy shooting towards him. Although this energy couldn't cause any harm to his body, he didn't want to lose face in front of the warriors either. He effortlessly dissolved the energy shooting towards him with a wave of his hand when returning the salute. Wang Qiang smiled slightly and beckoned to the new recruits standing on the ground, saying: "Everyone please take a seat."

  Wang Qiang walked to the only table in the class and sat down, smiling and saying: "Everyone must not be nervous, I came here just to take a look at you all, also on behalf of the military region's party organization, to apologize to these new soldiers who have just enlisted. Because our work was not done well, let you suffer grievances. For those soldiers who violated military discipline, we will deal with them seriously. The uniforms that were taken away from you will be returned to your hands immediately."

  This time Wang Qiang came here, he was mainly for Wang Weiye. The current Wang Weiye in his eyes is like a treasure. In the past few years, the troops have not recruited such a good soldier. And in the past two years, a certain military department in the Northeast Military Region has reduced its staff greatly, and the follow-up talents are not keeping up. The leaders of all levels in the Northeast Military Region can be said to be heartbroken about this matter. Today, he heard Wang Weiye's excellent skills in the conference room, and he was like Columbus discovering the New World, immediately thinking of a certain military secret department. Wang Qiang immediately told Commander Ma Zhan Kui about this idea, and only after getting the commander's approval did he come here from the conference room.

  Wang Weiye thought that Wang Qiang had come to apologize and make amends. But he didn't expect that this old fox, Wang Qiang, had already extended his evil claws over his head. Since the conspiracy has begun, and Wang Weiye is just a small new recruit, he doesn't have the ability to resist. The god of fate will now stand on the side of justice. Wang Weiye's lofty ideals and dreams were crushed and sent to the 18th level of hell. Who would have thought that since he was seven years old, Wang Weiye had vowed to become a big shot gangster? His dream was to kill people, chop people, and play with women.

  When Wang Qiang saw Wang Weiye wake up from his meditation, he felt a bloody and murderous aura emanating from Wang Weiye's body. Wang Qiang was shocked in his heart, such a heavy killing aura, only those who returned from the battlefield, trampling on the enemy's blood and corpses, had it. Now he understood in his heart why this little warrior called Wang Weiye dared to call himself San Ye here. Wang Qiang could imagine that Wang Weiye must have been a ruthless man in Harbin, wielding a machete to fight for territory, with countless people lying at his feet unwillingly. The prestige he had established was forged with human blood. Wang Qiang now felt very strange in his heart, such a person would definitely not pass the recruitment review, but why did he appear here? This was something that Wang Qiang, as an intelligence chief, needed to investigate. Now Wang Qiang sat there, feeling fortunate in his heart. This born killer, who had been trained to survive, had not killed anyone here.

  Wang Weiye opened his eyes, but he didn't get down from the kang. Instead, he focused on sensing the person sitting there, Wang Qiang. Because from Wang Qiang's body, he could feel that same military killing aura as his old man.

  Wang Qiang and Wang Weiye, the two of them, sat like this, staring at each other. Wang Qiang felt a sense of relief in his heart, and he smiled secretly: "Kid, I don't care how arrogant you are, whether you're a dragon or a tiger, you'll still have to obey me. What's waiting for you isn't some old tiger's temper, but the cruel killing on the battlefield. If you're alive, you're a dragon, if you're dead, then that means I was wrong, and you're just an insect." The two people didn't say a word, as if they could see right through each other. Wang Qiang nodded at Wang Weiye, stood up, and walked out of the new recruit class.

  Ma Zhan Kui blew his top in the conference room, and when he had calmed down a bit, he suddenly remembered that Wang Wei Ye, the troublemaker, was there. He immediately asked Cao Xiong to bring him Wang Wei Ye's file, and as he scanned through the list of Wang's family members, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Wang He's name, causing his heart rate to accelerate involuntarily. Ma Zhan Kui furrowed his brow in thought for a moment before taking Wang Wei Ye's file out of the conference room and into the duty office, where he sat alone, with the image of his teacher, Wang Chang, appearing in his mind.

  When Wang Qiang walked in, Ma Zhan Kui handed over the file of Wang Wei Ye that was still in his hand to him, with a helpless bitter smile on his face. "Director Wang, take a look at your precious one, whose child is he?"

  When Wang Qiang saw the name of his teacher, he also smiled helplessly like Ma Zhan Kui. He said: "Commander, we didn't expect that Wang Wei Ye was actually Teacher Chang's mistress. From my observation just now, this mistress is absolutely not a simple person in Harbin, and the bloody killing aura emanating from him is probably even stronger than mine. I think Teacher Chang must have also seen this point. So, he sent the mistress to the troops for training, to grind off the killing aura on his body. But this kid caused such a big commotion as soon as he arrived at the troops, if Teacher Chang finds out about this matter, he will probably be so angry that he'll get a brain hemorrhage." Wang Qiang said up to here, and only then did he remember something, immediately asking Ma Zhan Kui: "Right, Commander. Do you know what kind of martial arts Teacher Chang practices? I just discovered that the mistress has a very high-level skill."

  Ma Zhan Kui was stunned by Wang Qiang's words. He had been with Teacher Chang for a long time, but he had never known what kind of kung fu Teacher Chang practiced. He said in his heart, "Old Wang, I can be sure that Teacher Chang doesn't know any kung fu at all. The kung fu on Xiao San's body must have been learned from someone else. You just went there, do you think it's suitable for Xiao San to go to that department? If it is, we'll send him over, and I think Teacher Chang will agree."

  "Suitable, Xiao San is perfectly suited for that department, he's a born killer. However, Commander, Xiao San isn't an ordinary person, if we want him to go there willingly, I'm afraid we..."

  Ma Zhan Kui sent away the provincial military district investigation team, and then he immediately let Wang Qiang bring Wang Wei Ye to his office.

  These two days, Wang Weiye was in the military district's confinement room, feeling like he was spending years there, as if sitting on pins and needles. When he was brought here by Old Fox Wang Qiang from his company, he was warned not to speak out of turn, and every day's meals were delivered to him by a special person. Wang Weiye wasn't afraid of being sent back home by the army unit, going back to Harbin to continue being a hoodlum, eating well, drinking spicy food, and playing with women every day. But this waiting was making Wang Weiye extremely anxious and at a loss for what to do.

  As soon as Wang Qiang entered the room, Wang Weiye jumped off the bed like a big monkey and asked loudly: "Director Wang, when will the troops send me back home? Damn it, this is not a place for humans to stay. The past two days have really suffocated me."

  Wang Qiang looked at Wang Weiye's anxious appearance and couldn't help but laugh to himself, thinking: "You want to go back home and continue being a hoodlum? Ha ha... forget about it for this lifetime, the high-quality rice in the army is enough for you to eat for a lifetime." Wang Qiang didn't answer Wang Weiye's question, instead he told him to put on his clothes and follow him. On the way, Wang Qiang started intimidating Wang Weiye, saying: "Wang Weiye, are you mentally prepared? This incident of injuring people is extremely serious. The military district investigation team just left, and we now know that seven soldiers will be permanently disabled, three soldiers are still in a coma, and they might become vegetables. There are also over a dozen others who aren't much better off. Due to the severity of the situation, the commander wants to see you personally. If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in prison, then shut your mouth and listen carefully. When the commander asks you something, just answer accordingly, and when he tells you to do something, just do it. Did you understand, Wang Weiye?"

  Wang Weiye heard that he was going to prison, and it was a long-term sentence. He immediately went blank, he had never thought of going to prison before. Now, after hearing Wang Qiang's words, Wang Weiye followed Wang Qiang to the military district commander's office in a daze.

  Wang Qiang nodded in approval at Wang Weiye's current behavior, thinking to himself: "As long as you're like this now, it's worth it to tie down this wild horse and also for Master to live a few more years." The two of them had racked their brains last night, coming up with many plans that didn't work out. In the end, Commander Wang steeled himself and temporarily disowned his nephew. They came up with a plan to use intimidation and honey to get Wang Weiye to sign all the documents for the secret base, and then acknowledge him. Unexpectedly, this plan actually worked on this little scoundrel.

  Wang Weiye.

  Wang Weiye was lost in thought, his mind wandering freely, when a loud explosion of anger suddenly reached his ears, jolting him awake. "Ah... Ah!" A now alert Wang Weiye finally saw Commander Ma Zhan Kui standing behind the office desk. He immediately stood at attention, waiting for the commander's final verdict.

  A strong military aura emanated from Ma Zhan Kui, who was intimidating without being angry. He said very seriously: "Wang Wei Ye, don't make me repeat myself, you already know the severity of the situation now. So I ask you, do you know how many years you'll be sentenced for intentional injury? Do you have anything else to say?"

  "I know, Commander, I was acting in self-defense." Wang Weiye loudly defended himself, struggling to clear his name, he didn't want to spend the rest of his days behind bars.

  Ma Zhan Kui heard Wang Wei Ye, in front of him not admitting his mistake, instead he was stubborn and unreasonable, turning black into white. Ma Zhan Kui slammed the table with a "slap" and shouted loudly: "Bastard! You said it was self-defense, then tell me, those soldiers who are still being rescued in the hospital, were they trying to kill you with knives or shoot you? How dare you say self-defense to my face. Snatching new recruits' uniforms is their fault. But we are an organized army, not your mother's gangster organization. When there's a problem, why don't you go find the organization to report it? You're showing off as a hero, bringing out that Harbin gangster nonsense, and calling yourself San Ye (Three Grandpa), saying something about underworld rules, wanting clothes and leaving behind a hand. Damn it, Wang Wei Ye, is this what you call self-defense? If it weren't for the circumstances, considering you've only been in the army for one day and don't understand military discipline yet, I would have ordered your execution long ago."

  When Wang Weiye heard Ma Zhan Kui's words, he was truly stunned and knew that he had no way out now. He had crippled so many people, if it were in Harbin, he could have settled the matter with money. But this is the military, the usual tricks used in local areas are useless here. Wang Weiye still has a lifesaving straw in his hand, which is his old father. He hastily asked Ma Zhan Kui: "Commander, before I am sentenced, can I make a phone call to my dad?"

  "No need, I just spoke with Provincial Committee Secretary Wang on the phone. Do you want to know what your father said on the phone?" Ma Zhan Kui's tone changed here, his voice several decibels higher than before. He shouted: "Wang Wei Ye, let me tell you, don't harbor any illusions, and don't think that just because your old man is a high-ranking official in our party, you can do whatever you want and get away with it. In Harbin, I couldn't control what you did, but now that you're here, if you're a dragon, you should coil around me, and if you're a tiger, you should crawl for me. Your father asked us to strictly enforce military discipline and handle the case severely. But our party follows the principle of 'punishing the past and warning the future, treating illness and saving people.' The Provincial Military District Party Committee and the Divisional Party Committee unanimously believe that you haven't reached the point of no return yet. So, we're giving you two choices: one is to continue serving in the army, make meritorious achievements, and wear your punishment as a badge of honor. The other is to spend twenty years in prison, and after your sentence is served, go back home and be a local hooligan leader again." Ma Zhan Kui pointed to a small stack of files and a piece of paper on the desk: "Wang Wei Ye, think carefully about which one you want to sign - these documents or this arrest warrant."

  Now Wang Weiye's mind is a complete blank, sentenced to 20 years in prison, it would be better for him to jump off the building and commit suicide right now. When he heard that signing those documents could exempt him from imprisonment, he was like someone trapped in the swamp who grabbed a straw and saw a glimmer of hope. But he knew in his heart that those documents were not good to sign, it would be equivalent to selling himself, and he might be trapped for the rest of his life. Wang Weiye did not immediately sign those documents, but with a hint of luck in his heart, he asked: "Chief, is there... is there any other way, such as letting me go back home to farm by turning a blind eye?"

  Ma Zhan Kui saw Wang Wei Ye, at this point, still talking nonsense here, angry that his eyebrows were upside down, he "slapped" once, his solid big hand fell on the office desk, said: 'Damn it, if it weren't for me fighting for you in the military party committee to give you this opportunity, you would already be eating prison food. Damn, giving you face and you don't want it, still dare to talk conditions with me, does your family have land for you to farm? Minister Wang, immediately send a scoundrel to prison, this little scoundrel is really hopeless, he took our kindness as a joke.'

  Wang Weiye saw the military district commander, who was furious at his previous question, and was startled. When he heard that he would be sent to prison, he refused to comply. He quickly jumped forward, grabbed Ma Zhancai's hand and didn't let go, saying: "Chief; Commander, my dear grandfather. You mustn't get angry, or you'll hurt your body and there's no substitute."

  "Commander, you are the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, with a keen eye for detail and the ability to see through everything. You are the modern-day Bao Zheng, and I'm sure you won't wrong me, a young man with great potential. Just look at you now, you're as handsome as Pan An, elegant and refined, with an air of sophistication about you. You are the crème de la crème of our military elite, a true dragon among men. Your stomach can hold a ship, so please don't get angry with me. From now on, you are my second parents, and I will be eternally grateful to you. If you tell me to go east, I won't dare go west. If you ask me to beat a dog, I won't kill a chicken..."

  Before Wang Weiye could continue taking pictures, he saw the commander rush out from behind his desk and start vomiting violently into a spittoon. Meanwhile, Wang Qiang fell onto the sofa, laughing uncontrollably, gasping for air between laughs... Ha ha...

  Ma Zhan Kui vomited up the food he had eaten in the morning, along with the bitter bile from his stomach. Ma Zhan Kui's eyes were streaming with tears and his face was bright red. Once he caught his breath, he was furious, storming over to Wang Wei Ye and shouting: "You damn well better not say another word of nonsense, or I'll have them throw you in prison! Are you going to sign or not? Give me a straight answer!"

  Wang Weiye took a look and saw that he had flattered to the point of getting on the commander's good side. At a glance, the commander was furious, so he quickly nodded and said: "Sign, sign immediately. Whatever you want me to sign, I'll sign." Now Wang Weiye didn't even look at what was inside the documents, picked up his pen and signed his name in the places where he should sign. After signing a large stack of documents, he thought about looking at the content of the documents. Before he could even look, all the documents were taken by Wang Qiang.

  Ma Zhan Kui saw Wang Wei Ye had signed, he suppressed his joy, pointing to the military uniform on the tea table, said to Wang Wei Ye: "You put that set of military uniform on for me, then we can talk."

  Wang Weiye took off the cotton military uniform on his body, and as soon as he picked up the military uniform on the tea machine table, he felt a bit wrong. Because this set of Dicarbu new military uniform is an official uniform. Although Wang Weiye had some doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask why again now. Just now he had accepted the lesson and knew that the more questions asked, the more times scolded, Wang Weiye did not have the hobby of finding someone to scold. Now he followed the principle of doing less rather than more, since it was the commander who let him wear it, then no matter what kind of official uniform it was, just put it on and talk about it later.

  Ma Zhan Kui watched Wang Wei Ye changing clothes on the side, and he secretly laughed in his heart: "Little three, little three. No matter how powerful you are, you have to drink my foot washing water. Once you wear this military uniform, you think you can take it off, haha...it's not up to you to decide."
