Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Gently Unveiling

"Although it is a fact that he committed insubordination, just listening to one side of the story is inevitably not convincing enough. It would be better to also listen to this young man’s explanation. If it truly is his fault, we can punish him severely later."

The Superior Officer glanced at the Elite Troop Captain but said nothing.

The Elite Troop Captain stepped closer and said, "All these are High Officials personally rewarded and appointed by the Great General two days ago. Although their ranks are low, they have caught the Great General’s eye... "

The Elite Troop Captain didn’t finish his sentence, but the Superior Officer understood his implication.

So, this group was the new favorites in the eyes of the Great General. No wonder they were bold enough to confront their superiors.

However, these days, there had indeed been much discussion about this group in the camp. If he really troubled these men, and if the story got embellished and spread, it would indeed be of no benefit to him.

Therefore, the Superior Officer followed the flow of the Elite Troop Captain’s words, "What do you have to say?"

At that moment, Li Wenli, who was behind the wall of people, became the focus of everyone’s attention.

The young man’s clothes were somewhat disheveled, revealing a noticeable Adam’s apple and a pale neck. Among a group of soldiers, he should have been terrified and panic-stricken, yet, surprisingly, his face was calm, even displaying a trace of disdain.

Hearing the Superior Officer speak, he slightly curled his lips, on the verge of making a comment that would offend everyone.

One-Armed Uncle quickly covered Li Wenli’s mouth. Before Li Wenli could react, One-Armed Uncle bowed towards the Superior Officer, pressing down his head, and said loudly.

"Reporting to the Superior Officer, this young man is mute, please allow me to apologize on his behalf!"

Lame Man Uncle also pressed down Bai Junjun’s head in the same manner.

"..." Li Wenli.

"..." Bai Junjun.

The two uncles forcibly held down the heads of these two youngsters to apologize for them; and Lame Man Uncle added, "It’s my fault for failing to discipline them properly. Please punish me along with them."

Lame Man Uncle’s words led the over seven hundred men of Death Valley to clasp fists and apologize, "Please allow us to take the punishment on their behalf!"

Seeing this, the young Elite Troop Captain, who had bitten first, became anxious to jump out and say that Li Wenli was not mute. However, before he could speak, the Elite Troop Captain had already intercepted.

"What is everyone doing? Did the Superior Officer order any punishment? Do you all wish to unjustly involve the Superior Officer by volunteering to take someone else’s punishment?"

With these words, everyone looked towards the Superior Officer again.

The Superior Officer touched his nose, "Well then, considering your young age, an apology will suffice. In the future, if you act so recklessly again, others may not be as lenient as I am."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your mercy, Superior Officer. I will definitely educate them well."

Lame Man Uncle was overjoyed and kept thanking him.

"Newcomers need to be disciplined and toughened or they will never realize their own ignorance. It is because the Superior Officer is enlightened that you have your lives spared. Had it been someone else, you might not have been so lucky."

The Elite Troop Captain continued paving the way, while Lame Man Uncle, not being foolish, kept expressing his thanks repeatedly.

"Thank you, Superior Officer, thank you, Elite Troop Captain."

The Elite Troop Captain gave Lame Man Uncle a look, feigned anger, scolded him a few more times, and then took the Superior Officer away under the pretext of having good wine.

Seeing the higher-ups leave, the young Elite Troop Captain knew he couldn’t deal with the youngster right now, and fiercely glared at him, "Lucky brat."

At that moment, Li Wenli and Bai Junjun were still being held down. Hearing the young Elite Troop Captain’s rant, their brows involuntarily twitched. If it weren’t for Lame Man Uncle and One-Armed Uncle still holding them back, Li Wenli would likely have fought back.
