NovelEnglishChapter 1053: Three Days’ Leave
“There are no consequences for the person who made the report. Anyone can report that someone is disgusting. You can’t reorganize the army’s ethos; it’s useless, and it won’t help,” Lu Xingzhi said. “If that’s the case, then I’ll write two reports against Commissar Wang or Colonel Lin. I can say that you have a truckload of illegitimate children outside, and no one can’t do anything to me. I’ll feel good if I can offend you before I leave.”
When Lu Xingzhi said that, Commissar Wang was so angry that he wanted to pick up the teacup on the table and smash it against the other man’s mouth.
Colonel Lin’s eyebrows jumped, and he cursed Lu Xingzhi discreetly in his heart. However, he still pretended to think for a moment, then nodded his head and agreed as if it was a matter of fact. “Even though those words sounded infuriating, they do make sense. Everyone in the army has worked hard for the company, the country, and the people. If we have to find someone to investigate and question them because of groundless accusations or rumors, it will enrage them.”
The Bureau Chief understood what Lu Xingzhi meant. He wanted the army to punish the informant.
“In other words, the informant’s report is also for the sake of the army’s morale. Everyone can jointly supervise and protect the morality of the army. It is an inevitable form of supervision and warning. It can not be eliminated,” the Bureau Chief said. “Lu Xingzhi, what exactly are you thinking? Just say it directly. Don’t beat around the bush; tell me directly.”
Lu Xingzhi stood up straight; he took a step forward and then a step backward. He saluted his leaders. “Yes, Sir!”
Then he said loudly, “I think that the informant should be responsible for his report. We must ask for proof in the report. If the claims are unfounded, then we must punish this reckless and irresponsible informant for destroying the army’s morale and someone’s relationships.”
Colonel Lin took a step backward; he knew that Lu Xingzhi would toe the line for that. If he were to provoke him, it would be difficult for him to leave the situation.
“What is your opinion?” The Chief raised his hand and pinched his brows. He knew that he would get a headache soon.
“If a soldier makes a report indiscriminately, it means that he is irresponsible. He will be locked up for minor offenses! If a soldier’s family member makes reports indiscriminately, it means that the person who is a soldier has not set a good example for his family. His salary will be deducted, and he will be locked up!”
Lu Xingzhi did not even think before he said that. His meaning was clear. He wanted Wang Quansheng to be locked up for a minor offense, and he wanted Major He’s salary deducted and the man locked up for a minor infraction.

Salary deductions and detention were not counted as severe punishments. His suggestion was not excessive, but it was enough to make people feel disgusted.
“I’ll discuss it with Commissar Wang and consider it.” The Chief waved his hand. “You can go and fetch your wife.”
“Three days’ leave, and it can’t be deducted from my annual leave!” Lu Xingzhi said.
“Lu Xingzhi, you can’t ask for that!” Colonel Lin jumped and shook his head. “You still want three days’ leave at the end of the year when you’re so busy?”
“Then, why don’t you go to my hometown and fetch my wife for me?” Lu Xingzhi shrugged. “That’s fine too. If the Colonel can fetch my wife for me, it will represent the attitude and sincerity of the troops to admit their mistakes. After all, my wife used to be a medical trainer in the troops. I won’t let you down, Colonel Lin.”
