Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, Squad Leader Kong couldn’t help but be filled with doubt.

His class had just been involved in a fight and lost. Those responsible for the fight had already been punished, and he had taken them to run as a form of disciplinary action. However, he couldn’t help but wonder about Ye Sanshi’s involvement.

While Kong and his classmates were running, Ye Sanshi had taken a leisurely walk and even returned with drinks and instant noodles for himself, seemingly unfazed by the situation.

Kong was frustrated with Ye Sanshi’s nonchalant attitude. He believed that if Ye Sanshi’s class had ignored him and suffered a similar defeat, he would be outraged. Yet, here was Ye Sanshi, seemingly unconcerned, arriving with his assistant and instructor.

Kong knew that Wang Ye was somehow related to the events that transpired tonight. However, with a student from his own class beaten and bruised, he assumed that any connection between Wang Ye and himself would be broken.

Under normal circumstances, even if Wang Ye wanted to come, the class monitor would never allow it, and the instructor would also disapprove. Yet, both of them were present, leaving Kong’s imagination to run wild as he tried to make sense of the situation.

“Instructor!”

Despite the swirling thoughts in his mind, Squad Leader Kong prioritized following the rules. He rushed towards the instructor and Ye Sanshi, saluting them in respect.

The instructor returned the salute and instructed Kong, “Squad Leader Kong, bring the soldier who was beaten up in your squad here.”

Kong’s face contorted with a frown as he hesitated. He was furious with the soldier who had been beaten, but they were still his soldiers, and it was his duty as the class monitor to protect them, even if they made mistakes.

Just as he was about to speak, Ye Sanshi stepped forward and spoke up, “Your soldier insulted Wang Ye, calling him a bootlicker. He even insinuated that Wang Ye would’ve attained an important position with the Japanese during the past fight through bootlicking.”

Kong’s attention was instantly drawn to Ye Sanshi’s words.

Then, with a sudden burst of anger, he turned around and shouted, “Du Yuding, get your fucking ass over here!”

His fists clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth, displaying his immense frustration and disappointment.

On the running track, the entire class 9 had come to a halt, their attention now fully focused on Squad Leader Kong’s outburst. The atmosphere was tense and heavy with anticipation as they waited to see how the situation would unfold.

As everyone’s attention focused on Du Yuding, they could see that his face was still bruised, and he appeared to be trembling with fear. He had been nervous since he saw Wang Ye and the instructor approaching together, and now, his anxiety was reaching its peak.

Du Yuding had already been through a tumultuous night, and he was exhausted from running. He couldn’t find the strength to get up, and he pretended to be lying there motionless, hoping to avoid any further confrontation.

Initially, his intention was to express his dissatisfaction with Wang Ye when he saw some students from class five violating regulations. He wanted to gather negative information about Wang Ye to share with his comrades in class, as he believed Wang Ye to be a person who liked to perform and flatter.

He thought that by sharing his grievances, he would be able to find support among his classmates. However, to his surprise, the situation had turned out entirely differently from what he had expected. Instead of gaining sympathy or support, he had ended up in this embarrassing and painful situation.

His plan to discredit Wang Ye had backfired, and now he was facing the consequences of his actions.

The atmosphere was tense as everyone awaited Squad Leader Kong’s next move, wanting to see how he would handle the situation and what action he would take concerning Du Yuding’s behavior.

“Are you fucking deaf or something?” Squad Leader Kong approached Du Yuding with furious strides. Without hesitation, he delivered a swift kick to Du Yuding’s butt, causing him to yelp in pain and giving up his pretense of being injured.

“Get up!” Kong ordered, pulling Du Yuding to his feet.

Wang Ye, who had been angry before, suddenly spoke up, “Forget it, Squad Leader Kong. I’m going back. Let’s put an end to this matter here.”

Seeing the sorry state of the soldier who had insulted him, Wang Ye felt a sense of embarrassment in arguing further with him.

The instructor agreed, “Alright, you can go back to your class now.”

Ye Sanshi remained silent, shaking his head slightly, and then turned to leave with Wang Ye.

Squad Leader Kong decided not to reprimand any more soldiers. He left Du Yuding standing there and turned his attention to the other paralyzed students of class 9 who were still on the track.

With a stern expression, Kong addressed them, “Listen up! Ye Sanshi just told me that this guy, Du Yuding, called Wang Ye a bootlicker. He even claimed that Wang Ye would’ve been a high-quality traitor during the fight against the Japanese in the past. Do any of you share this opinion, or have you made similar disrespectful comments about others in private?”

His anger still boiling, Squad Leader Kong scolded them, “You are soldiers, not gossiping old ladies at the village entrance! You can be sharp-tongued, but as soldiers, you must learn to respect others, respect yourselves, and, most importantly, respect the uniform you’re wearing. Calling someone a traitor without reason is not a joke; it’s the gravest insult to any soldier who serves with honor and integrity. If anyone ever says such things about me, I’ll fight them with my life!”

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at the guy who had collapsed to the ground again because he had let go. He kicked him again.

“Damn it, I don’t want you anymore. Get lost!”

With that, he ran off in the direction of Wang Ye and Ye Sanshi.

“Wang Ye, wait!”

“Hmm?” Wang Ye stopped in his tracks, and so did Ye Sanshi.

In fact, Wang Ye was really not angry at all because he had also heard what he had said.

“Pa!”

When he arrived in front of Wang Ye and the others, Squad Leader Kong raised his hand and slapped his face without any warning.

“Hey, class monitor…” Wang Ye raised his hand, but he didn’t have the time to stop it.

Ye Sanshi also opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.

Squad Leader Kong ignored the fact that his face had turned red from his slap and looked straight at Wang Ye, “It was my fault for not disciplining him properly. I’m definitely responsible for my soldier’s situation. I’ll apologize on his behalf with this slap. If you’re not satisfied, you can do it yourself. I’ll be completely fine even if you slap me a few times!”

“Hey, class monitor, there’s no need…”

“No, it’s necessary!”

The 9th Squad Leader said with a serious expression, “I’m also a soldier. I can understand your anger when you hear this. At the same time, I can understand how insulting this is to a soldier. So I’ll accept it even if I get slapped a few times!”

“No, class monitor, I’m really fine!”

Wang Ye looked behind him and said, “I believe that he will remember tonight’s lesson, so this matter will end here.”

At this point, Wang Ye suddenly smiled.

Looking at the 9th Squad Leader in front of him, Wang Ye stretched out a hand, “Also, class monitor, my name is Wang Ye.. If you don’t mind that I’m a new recruit, can you tell me your name?”
