Chapter 1200: Leak
Su Quanzhong looked sympathetically at Yang Fei.
"Brother Fei, I know the ones who died were your brothers in life and death, but in war, is there ever no sacrifice?"
"Even if it were you and me, when it truly comes time to die for the country, we must also be ready to sacrifice our lives."
Yang Fei rolled his eyes and said coldly, "That's because the ones who died weren't your brothers."
At this point, he spoke bitterly, "The Amazon battle had many suspicious points."
"We took Professor Mi and changed our marching route three times, yet no matter how we changed our route, the enemy quickly locked onto us."
"In the end, when we were about to break out of the Amazon jungle, we plunged right into the ambush of the Alliance of Gods."
"If it weren't for that, how would my brothers have sacrificed themselves?"
These suspicions, Yang Fei hadn't even told Wu Yuanzhong. Now, stirred by the memory, he finally spoke of them.
Su Quanzhong shivered, looking at Yang Fei uncertainly and suspiciously.
"Are you saying someone leaked your marching route?"
Yang Fei nodded, "Very likely."
"Only I and the headquarters' leaders knew the Evil Dragon's marching route. I suspect that my communications with headquarters were recorded."
"Someone might even have pinpointed our location via satellite phone."
Su Quanzhong was stunned, blankly staring at Yang Fei.
"Yang Fei, you can eat carelessly, but you can't speak carelessly."
"The implications of your words are huge, and the top brass at headquarters and the communications staff wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."
Yang Fei sneered, speaking lightly, "Of course I know how important this issue is."
"Without evidence, I wouldn't say such things lightly."
"But if I find the traitor, heh, even if it's the Heavenly King, I won't spare him."
Finished speaking, he turned and left.
Su Quanzhong followed distantly behind Yang Fei.
"Brother Fei, where are you going? Aren't you going in?"
Yang Fei waved his hand, speaking casually.
"I've been discharged, no authorization to enter, goodbye."
Su Quanzhong snorted, "If you want to go in, who would dare stop you?"
Yang Fei thought for a moment and finally stopped, letting out a long sigh.
"It's better this way; I want to visit the Evil Dragon's dormitory."
Su Quanzhong nodded, "I understand how you feel, I'll go with you?"
Yang Fei nodded, and the two of them walked toward the entrance of the Hidden Dragon Nine Divisions.
The two sentries at the entrance stopped Su Quanzhong and Yang Fei.
One of the young-faced sergeants saluted Su Quanzhong and Yang Fei, speaking loudly.
"According to regulations, please present your credentials."
Su Quanzhong widened his eyes, scolding the sentry.
"Stopping me is one thing, but do you know who this general is?"
He pointed to Yang Fei, saying calmly, "He is Colonel Yang Fei of the Evil Dragon Special Combat Team. Are you still not moving aside?"
The two sentries looked at each other, and one mustered the courage to speak.
"Sir, we haven't heard this name, but even for you, valid credentials are required to enter."
Yang Fei smirked; not many soldiers at the entire Evil Dragon headquarters had seen him.
But not hearing the name "Yang Fei" was almost unheard of.
Su Quanzhong's face darkened; he glanced at Yang Fei, realizing he was not angry, then turned to continue scolding the soldiers.
"Recruit, know nothing, get out of my way."
He pushed the new recruits heavily, attempting to lead Yang Fei through the headquarters' gate.
One of the recruits panicked, urgently grabbing Yang Fei's arm.
"Captain, you can go in, but this person's identity is unknown and cannot go in."
Yang Fei slowly turned, looking amusedly at the stubborn and earnest young soldier.
In this moment, Su Quanzhong's face turned black, feeling utterly humiliated in front of Yang Fei.
The guy was hot-tempered, slapping the young soldier's left cheek, kicking and shoving him.
"Get out of my way! Who in the entire Hidden Dragon Nine Divisions dares to stop Colonel Yang? You clueless fool."
Yang Fei wanted to intervene, but it was too late.
He sighed, stopping Su Quanzhong.
"Don't make a scene, they're just doing their duty. It's not wrong, I'll just leave."
Su Quanzhong grabbed Yang Fei's arm.
"Don't mind these fools; if the leaders hold me accountable, I'll take full responsibility."
Yang Fei couldn't refuse Su Quanzhong's good intention, offering an apologetic smile to the two sentries as he entered the gates of the Hidden Dragon Nine Divisions.
The two new recruits, feeling wronged, watched Su Quanzhong and Yang Fei strut away but dared not pursue or stop them.
Feeling wronged for doing their duty and inexplicably getting beaten, their tears flowed freely.
While feeling aggrieved, a military jeep slowly drove through the gate.
The driver presented his credentials for the sentry's inspection.
From inside, an elderly man with graying hair leaned out, noticing the recruits' distressed expressions, and was curious.
"What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
This elder was Dai Jili, the political commissar of Hidden Dragon Division Headquarters.
Hearing the leader ask about this incident, the left-side young soldier felt even more wronged.
Wiping his tears, he said.
"Captain Su broke into headquarters without showing credentials and hit us. Boohoo, what right do they have to hit us?"
Alarmed, Dai Jili exited the vehicle.
"Are you talking about Su Quanzhong from Division Three?"
"That guy is brash, but he wouldn't openly defy military discipline. Who did he take in?"
The young soldier looked aggrieved at Dai Jili.
"He brought someone named Yang Fei, claiming they're from Evil Dragon, but isn't Evil Dragon only a vacant post now? Chief, you must judge this for us."
Dai Jili was surprised: "Yang Fei actually came to the Capital City?"
The young soldier still wept, looking expectantly at Dai Jili.
"Chief, you must stand up for us in this matter."
Dai Jili sighed and patted the young soldier's shoulder.
"Where did Su Quanzhong hit you?"
The young soldier straightened up stubbornly: "The face."
Dai Liji continued questioning: "Left cheek or right cheek?"
The young soldier suspiciously glanced at Dai Jili, covering his left cheek: "Left cheek."
Dai Liji extended his hand, symbolically patting the young soldier's right cheek, speaking calmly.
"Alright, I've hit your right cheek too, feel free to report both me and Su Quanzhong at the headquarters office."
The young soldier was stunned, looking incredulously at Dai Jili.
"Chief, you are..."
Dai Jili suddenly commanded loudly, "Attention!"
The guard behind Dai Jili, as well as the two sentries, snapped to attention, their backs straightened.
Dai Jili's gaze was very stern, fixing on the bewildered sentry.
"Do you know who Colonel Yang Fei is? He is the founder of the Evil Dragon Special Combat Team, the only SSS-ranked Warrior King in the entire Hidden Dragon Nine Divisions."
"While you were playing in the mud at home, he was already leading troops on missions, bleeding and fighting for this country, surviving amidst gunfire and bullets."
"He is the soul of the entire Hidden Dragon Nine Divisions, and you actually dared to stop him from entering?"
