187: Chapter 187 Upholding Justice!

According to the agreement, although the Beautiful Country was unwilling, they still fulfilled their promise. As for the contents of the transaction, Qin Mo didn't know.

Time flew by, and another three months passed.

Qin Mo and the others lived a routine life every day, training, eating, and sleeping...

After these few months, he was basically familiar with almost everyone in the unit, and his heroic deeds had spread to every corner of the military region.

At this moment, Qin Mo was lying on his dormitory bed out of boredom, bragging to his livestream audience.

After that competition, he was now a Platoon Leader, so he naturally didn't need to attend basic training.

“Seriously, Streamer, tell the truth, did you give some bribes? Otherwise, how did you go from a private to a Platoon Leader in just half a year?”

“Exactly! Even going through the back door wouldn't result in a promotion like this, right?”

Qin Mo smiled slightly upon seeing this, then took two medals from his drawer and placed them in front of the livestream camera.

“Look, everyone look at what these are. Does anyone recognize them?”

“Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap?!”

“The guy above, stop with the 'holy crap' already. Do you recognize them? What medals are these?”

“One... one First-Class Merit Medal, and one Second-Class Merit Medal.”

“Holy crap? For real? The Streamer is that badass?”

“As expected, gold will shine wherever it is!”

“The guy above, what about you? What are you?”

“Uh... I... I am light...”

...

“Platoon Leader Qin, something big has happened outside!”

Just then, Zheng Xiaohu ran over with a panicked expression.

“What's wrong? What big thing happened? Is there a war?”

“No... it's not that.”

“Then did your wife run away with someone else?”

“That's not it either... wait! I'm still single.”

Qin Mo was suddenly speechless and said, “Then what are you panicking for? Did you offend the Cooking Squad? Are they planning to add ghost peppers to your lunch?”

“Oh! No, just come outside with me and see for yourself.”

Saying this, Zheng Xiaohu didn't take no for an answer and pulled Qin Mo toward the entrance of the military region.

Qin Mo followed helplessly.

What big thing could happen in a military region? Even if the sky fell, the higher-ups would be there to patch it up.

...

After a while, the two finally reached the entrance of the military region.

At this time, many people had gathered at the entrance, all looking out at something.

Qin Mo looked around and then frowned, shouting, “What are you all crowding around here for? Don't you have training?”

As soon as he spoke, everyone was startled.

After seeing that the newcomer was Qin Mo, everyone immediately stood at attention and shouted, “Greetings, Platoon Leader!”

Qin Mo nodded and ignored them, walking straight toward the front.

Then he saw an Old Woman kneeling at the main gate of the military region, and beside her knelt a child who looked about seven or eight years old.

Qin Mo's brow furrowed even deeper as he walked up to them.

“Comrades, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling at the gate? What happened?”

The Old Woman was stunned for a moment, then instinctively looked up at Qin Mo, who had approached her at some point.

The Old Woman immediately grabbed Qin Mo's hand as if catching a lifesaver, crying out with tears and snot:

“Young man, you must help us! We are the family of a martyr. My son sacrificed his life while serving in this very military region.”

As she spoke, the Old Woman pulled out a Martyr's Certificate from her person and handed it to Qin Mo.

The child beside her also began to wail loudly, “I want my daddy...”

“This...”

Qin Mo, somewhat flustered, tried to help the Old Woman up while saying:

“Auntie, please get up first. What exactly happened?”

“Don't worry, if it's someone from our military region, we will definitely take care of it!”

Hearing this, the Old Woman finally calmed down.

“Young man, my son is a martyr, and we are farmers from Li Family Village. After my son sacrificed his life last year, our village chief has been constantly oppressing us.”

“At first, they just ostracized us. Seeing that we didn't react, those bullies seized our grain fields and even tried to force my daughter-in-law to remarry his son.”

“My daughter-in-law refused, so their family often bullies us. Last time, if I hadn't arrived in time, they almost forced themselves on her.”

“After we reported it to the police, those Hats not only did nothing, but they actually chose to turn a blind eye.”

“I only had this one son, and he left behind a poor, lonely grandson. If my son were still alive, they definitely wouldn't dare do this.”

“We were truly driven to our wits' end, which is why we came to the military region to seek help. Please help us!”

Saying this, the Old Woman prepared to kneel again in tears.

Qin Mo's anger was now almost impossible to suppress as he pulled up the Old Woman who was about to kneel.

Then he said decisively, “Auntie, don't worry! Your son will not have died in vain. We will see this through to the end!”

He never expected that while the nation's soldiers were shedding blood and sacrificing themselves on the battlefield, their families were being bullied like this. If word got out, who would dare to join the army? Who would still trust the military?

The more Qin Mo thought about it, the greater his anger became. Then he let out a roar, “All troops, assemble!”

As Qin Mo's voice fell, in the next moment...

The soldiers standing at the gate immediately assembled upon hearing the command. Before long, a group of several hundred people had finished gathering.

Qin Mo walked in front of them with an expressionless face and shouted, “You must all be curious why I've assembled you.”

“I'm telling you now, there are no training tasks today. The only task today is—to beat people up!”

“What?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene immediately broke into an uproar.

After all, brawling in a large group was a major violation of discipline! It could lead to a serious demerit.

Qin Mo continued, “Yes, you didn't hear wrong! It's to beat people up!”

“You must be curious why I'm doing this. Now I will tell you: a martyr's family was bullied by a Village Tyrant to the point of coming to the military gates to seek help. What is this? This is a slap in my face!”

“What?”

At these words, everyone was instantly enraged.

Everyone here was a soldier. This martyr's mother could very well be their own mother. If they sacrificed themselves on the battlefield and their families were bullied like this, what then?

“Beat them!”

Someone roared out.

The scene instantly exploded with various curses and roars rising and falling.

Just then, an old soldier walked up to the Old Woman with a shocked expression, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, “Are you Li Kai's mother?”

The Old Woman's expression immediately began to tremble upon hearing this.

“You... you are?”

The old soldier's fingers were trembling with rage.

He hated himself, because Li Kai was a fellow soldier from the same year. Last year, they went on a mission together, and Li Kai had stayed in that place forever because he protected him.

He never imagined that Li Kai's mother and wife were being bullied by others, and he hadn't even known.

“Slap!”

Thinking of this, the old soldier gave himself a hard slap across the face.
