Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1380 Robbed of Credi

At the thought that his image in people’s hearts was not as perfect and flawless as before, Peng Yu still hated the torturing Lin Yuankang very much. If Lin Yuankang had not been so insistent, he would not have shown such an impatient expression in front of his former comrades. This had reduced his popularity in the army.

Peng Yu was more delicate-looking than others.

In an army that was full of burly men, Peng Yu’s existence was akin to a fresh breath of air.

Peng Yu had suffered a lot of hardships to change his comrades”sissy’ assessment of him. After this ruckus, no one would believe that he was a good-tempered and dedicated soldier again.

Thinking of the various things done by Lin Yuankang, until this very moment, Peng Yu still had an urge to murder someone. He could not understand. Did Lin Yuankang go overseas to complete the mission tasked to him by the country or to make merry and let his hair down? He really dared to tell outsiders anything.

“What’s there to worry about? My grand-disciple’s biological father even came to fetch me. There won’t be a problem.” Lin Yuankang’s trust in Zhai Sheng had silently expressed one thing: Zhai Sheng’s capability was above Peng Yu’s. With Zhai Sheng around, Peng Yu was completely redundant.

After going through so many hardships, he had been discarded by Lin Yuankang in one kick.

He felt that while he might not have a lot of credit, he had put in hard work. On what grounds could Zhai Sheng freeload on him? The mission that he painstakingly completed did not even earn a word of ‘thanks’ from Lin Yuankang. He kept deriding him and praising Zhai Sheng instead.

Wasn’t he being too much?

Underneath his cap, Peng Yu’s eyes flashed a sharp and dagger-like look at Zhai Sheng.

Zhai Sheng astutely sensed this but he maintained his silence. While carrying his two children, the corners of his lips curled into a smile and he sneered.

No matter how brazen and arrogant Peng Yu was in the army, once he encountered an important figure such as Elder Lin who needed protection when traveling, Peng Yu was not even allowed to decline Elder Lin’s nomination. Peng Yu was expected to perform well. If he did not, Peng Yu would have failed the trust that the organization and army placed on him. He would not be considered a qualified and competent soldier of the people’s liberation army.

The reality was harsh, but the truth was even grimmer. action

Do not think that it was so easy to be a soldier. Soldiers stand towering in pools of fresh blood, baptized by it, after surviving rigorous training under raging thunderstorms, downpours, and rains of gunfire and bullets.

To Zhai Sheng, Peng Yu was completely unbefitting of a soldier.

When Peng Yu was in the army camp, he was bright and eye-catching, behaving like a celebrity on television.

Zhai Sheng did not understand. When did a solemn place like the army become a stage for Peng Yu to act cool and express himself? After knowing Peng Yu’s situation in the army, Zhai Sheng told himself that Peng Yu’s example could only appear once. In the future, he would never allow someone like Peng Yu to join the army, lest the latter cause the culture in the army to go astray.

Zhai Sheng would not deny that Peng Yu was smart and resourceful. However, the army was not a place for Peng Yu to show off. He had really ruined the solemn and dignified atmosphere in the army.

Without giving Peng Yu any more chance to reject, Lin Yuankang told him directly. “Alright, Comrade Peng Yu, it has been tough on you. Quickly go back and report to your leader about the situation. You can hand over my matters to Zhai Sheng.” Lin Yuankang was only short of saying to Peng Yu ‘It is none of your business now. Go and cool off at whichever place as you wish.’

Lin Yuankang had gifted the opportunity to complete the most important final step of the mission to Zhai Sheng unconditionally. Clearly, Peng Yu had completed 99 percent of the mission, just missing one more mark. However, at the last step, Lin Yuankang immobilized Peng Yu and caused him to remain at the 99 percentage point mark.

Zhai Sheng was only keeping his wife and children company to fetch Elder Lin. Throughout the entire process, he only took the one final step, yet he ‘conned’ Peng Yu, who had painstakingly protected Lin Yuankang, of the 100 marks, overtaking Peng Yu by one mark.

If it were an old and kind man who encountered such bullying, he would also turn pale in anger and feel indignant, not to mention that Peng Yu was a petty and narrow-minded one.

This kind of approach was too unfair!

As one could imagine, the furor in Peng Yu’s heart at this moment was basically breaking the limit of the sky. He could not wait to burn these old and young eyesores in front of him immediately.

“Regiment commander?” When Zhai Sheng brought Lin Yuankang away, the people around Peng Yu felt a little unhappy. “Are we letting Regiment Commander Zhai snatch it away from us? Aren’t we the ones who took care of this mission?” They were only a step away from claiming the credit, yet the mission had been intercepted by others. Who would be pleased?

This man was considered Peng Yu’s confidant in the army. That was the reason Peng Yu specially brought him along this time.

Lin Yuankang had returned to the country safe and sound. While this was not a major achievement, they would certainly receive verbal praises for it. One had to know that the key to the mission was not the difficulty level but the importance of it.

To the country, Elder Lin was a very important figure. No matter whether they encountered any danger during this overseas trip, praises were indispensable as long as they returned to the country safely.

As they accumulated more praises, they could rise in the ranks.

Who would have known that the voluptuous ideals could not rival the bony reality?

Even if this person did not mention it, Peng Yu was not in a good mood either. “What’s the hurry? You have to know that who laughs first is not important. Who has the last laugh is more important. Lin Yuankang is Qiao Nan’s master. I am not the least surprised that Elder Lin will help Zhai Sheng. Many years ago, Elder Lin could guard his role—the minister at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs—so well because he was very rogue in his approaches and made the foreigners suffer a lot.”

More than ten years ago, Lin Yuankang was a hooligan.

Today, of course, Lin Yuankang had turned from a young hooligan to an old one.

Lin Yuankang was the one who nominated him for this mission. As such, Peng Yu dared not let his guard down. He was deeply fearful that something would happen to Elder Lin, and if he obstructed Elder Lin’s path again, that would not be good.

At the moment, he was only robbed of the credit by Zhai Sheng. No matter what, this was much better than the situation that he had been worrying about during the trip. “The hooligan is old now, but the older he is, the more he cherishes his life.” He had overestimated Lin Yuankang earlier and was even worried that Lin Yuankang would plot against him for the sake of helping Zhai Sheng.

With his own precious life at stake, not to mention his disciple’s man, even if Qiao Nan were to stand personally before Lin Yuankang, Lin Yuankang would also not give up his life and safety for the sake of one little disciple Qiao Nan.

“Fine, stop looking miserable. Are you afraid that there is no chance of promotion? We have been running around a lot after all. It has been tough on everyone. I will treat all of you to a meal, a good one.” Using one meal to bribe people’s hearts—this exchange was very worth it. Without a word, Peng Yu gave a treat out of his own pocket.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Zhai family’s residence was livelier than the drink and finger-guessing game at Peng Yu’s end.
