Chapter 1893 - 1911: Upheaval in the Meeting (Part 6)
That’s right! The result of the meeting full of bickering and arguments ended up with Huo Beijiang being suspended. After enduring countless hardships, surviving through storms of bullets and fire, he ends up being suspended. Is there any justice?
Everyone who participated in the mission this time received first-class commendations, and even he, who only assisted, got a second-class commendation. Yet, as the overall commander and person-in-charge of the mission, he got suspended.
Is that fair?
I’m afraid once this news gets out, it’s going to cause a lot of dissatisfaction.
Yet the person who should be the most dissatisfied looks calm, as if he’s gotten a great deal.
As the two of them spoke, they had already walked out of the military headquarters. Ning Di was waiting in a car in the parking lot.
Huo Beijiang pulled Tu Cheng over, stood on the curb of the parking lot, and asked Tu Cheng for a cigarette and lighter.
"Where’s your own cigarette?" Tu Cheng got angry, somewhat reluctant to let this guy take advantage.
"Someone married like me, how could I possibly carry cigarettes around?" Huo Beijiang looked at him with a look that said, "Are you stupid?" "Why would I ever want my wife to inhale second-hand smoke? Isn’t that obvious?"
Tu Cheng: "..." He felt like hitting someone!
Tu Cheng was at a loss for words, and reluctantly pulled out his lighter and cigarettes, handing them over. "Alright, alright, can you stop showing off?" Is having a wife so impressive?
Huo Beijiang, with a laid-back demeanor, bit into the cigarette, skillfully lighting it with the lighter. As the cigarette lit, the flickering light revealed a playful and teasing smile. The sky had already darkened, and under the smoke and firelight, it made his already extraordinarily handsome face even more deep and captivating.
For a moment, Tu Cheng found himself staring, and after snapping back to reality, he snatched back his lighter and pack of cigarettes.
"Get lost! What kind of behavior is this?" He was extremely disdainful, and if it weren’t for the situation, he would have pinned this rascal down and given him a good beating.
Huo Beijiang took a drag from the cigarette and chuckled, "I get it, you’re worried about me. Don’t be shy to admit it."
"Who’s worried about you?" Tu Cheng flatly denied it. He didn’t feel like he was concerned about Huo Beijiang because every time he saw this guy, he just wanted to punch him. Back when they were both in the Southeast Military Region, his rank was higher, so he had no qualms about beating him up.
Not anymore. This guy’s been transferred to the Northern Military District, and now they’re on the same level.
Tu Cheng reckoned that without the backing of his rank, he couldn’t beat him. Thinking back over the years, he’s been on naval missions, rarely involved on the front lines, while this guy was always leading the charge. Many others secretly envy, resent, and admire him.
As soldiers, such opportunities are hard to come by in a lifetime. Huo Beijiang is different; opportunities keep landing on his lap.
"Alright, alright..." Huo Beijiang spoke indulgently, like coaxing a child, "You don’t care about me, I know. It’s Tu Lou who cares about me. He’s the one who cares the most about me."
Upon hearing Tu Lou’s name, Tu Cheng got even more displeased. His brother is so good, so well-behaved and sensible, how did he become friends with this rascal?
It’s said this guy jinxes his friends! People call him the ’Friendship Killer.’
"No way!" Tu Cheng sneered coldly, "My brother would definitely never care about you. He’s already unilaterally cut ties with you."
Huo Beijiang: "..."
Why does he feel Tu Cheng is acting a bit strange this time?
At this moment, Huo Beijiang still wasn’t aware of his ’Friendship Killer’ nickname. If he did, he wouldn’t find it odd why the overly protective brother was acting strange.
