56: Go ahead and complain if you want.

Fang Qiang and He Yong had already dismantled several landmines. Just then, seeing the Public Security Comrade from the Municipal Bureau walking over, they immediately explained the situation.

Upon hearing that six Thugs had been captured and two Thugs had been killed, the Public Security Comrade from the Municipal Bureau expressed gratitude repeatedly.

"Many thanks to the comrades from the Military Unit; thank you all so much."

"Are the comrades from the Military Unit still dismantling landmines now?"

"Yes, our team leader is still there with the comrades from the Military Unit dismantling landmines."

"This time, it is all thanks to Comrade Xiao Niannian discovering the situation in time..."

Xiao Niannian watched Lu Jing's movements, and she couldn't help but admire them in her heart. Lu Jing's bomb-disposal movements were like a textbook; as for her own bomb-disposal skills, only Lu Jing possessed such technique.

This booby trap was not only connected to many fishing lines, but it was surprisingly three landmines combined together.

Now, Lu Jing had already dismantled the two on the side and was currently dismantling the largest one.

The Public Security Comrade and some other people were all kept at a distance by Fang Qiang and He Yong.

Hu Ping had been woken up by Yang Fang and the others just now. She looked around and burst into loud sobs with a "waah" sound.

"Waah..."

She had been so scared just now that she almost fainted and hadn't recovered for quite a while. Now that she had come to her senses, she was wailing loudly.

"Pingping, it's alright now."

Yang Fang, Zhu Dan, and the others continued to comfort Hu Ping.

Li Le ran toward Xiao Niannian.

"Niannian, are you alright?"

Hearing Li Le's words, Xiao Niannian noticed that Li Le's hand was bleeding.

"I'm fine, your hand is bleeding."

Li Le laughed.

"I'm fine."

Qian Si, Zheng Wu, and the others also ran over quickly, holding hemostatic medicine in their hands.

"Squad leader, you are injured."

Qian Si and Zheng Wu began to bandage Li Le. However, they had just joined the Military Unit and hadn't learned much first-aid knowledge yet.

"Let me do it."

Xiao Niannian took the medicine and quickly bandaged Li Le.

Qian Si, Zheng Wu, and the others watched Xiao Niannian's movements and were incredibly impressed.

Just now, in that situation, if it hadn't been for Niannian directly firing her gun and coordinating with Battalion Commander Lu to kill the Thugs, if the Thugs had detonated the bomb, none of them would have survived.

Li Le looked up at Xiao Niannian. She had previously thought that as a veteran of several years, she could teach Xiao Niannian many things. Unexpectedly, Xiao Niannian's excellence truly exceeded her imagination.

"All done," Xiao Niannian said, looking at Li Le.

"Don't get it wet for the next few days..."

"Thank you, Niannian."

At this moment, Lu Jing had already finished dismantling the booby traps.

Regiment Commander Wang brought the combat engineers and also brought the mine-sweeping tools over.

"Lu Jing, how is the situation?"

"This booby trap has been dismantled, but we still need to search and investigate other areas."

Regiment Commander Wang's gaze shifted to Xiao Niannian.

"Niannian, you aren't injured, are you?"

Hearing Regiment Commander Wang's words, Xiao Niannian shook her head.

Regiment Commander Wang had already heard about today's events; he nodded and ordered the Soldiers under his command to sweep and clear the landmines.

Regiment Commander Wang did not say anything more and continued to lead his men to investigate.

Xiao Niannian saw the two comrades in the room being helped by others; one of them was glaring angrily at her.

"Why didn't you untie the ropes for me? I am going to file a complaint against you... You almost got us killed..."

The other comrade, upon hearing his words, immediately tried to persuade him.

"Old Liu, this Female Comrade saved our lives..."

The person persuading him was the very comrade who had been quiet after being tied up, having heard Xiao Niannian speak earlier.

"Saved our lives? She clearly could have untied our ropes and let us escape, but she just ran away..."

The more this person thought about it, the angrier he became. If they hadn't been lucky, and if that bomb had exploded, they would have been killed by this woman.

Xiao Niannian didn't expect that even though she had saved this person, he would actually turn around and blame her.

"comrade, if I had released you at that time, you definitely would have rushed out and alerted the enemy..." Xiao Niannian explained.

"Stop making excuses; it is your fault. Which unit are you from? I am going to file a complaint and report you to your leader..."

"Old Liu, don't be unreasonable like this."

The people beside him were trying to persuade Old Liu.

"This Old Liu, he was clearly saved by this Female Comrade, and yet he is actually turning around and blaming her."

Xiao Niannian was just about to retort. She was a Soldier, yes, but she was not someone to be abused or scolded at will; having saved people only to be slandered was too much.

Lu Jing walked straight over.

"I am her leader; what do you want to say?"

Seeing Lu Jing with a cold face and an intimidating aura, Comrade Liu recognized that this was the other comrade who had saved people in the room and also the one who had dismantled the landmines.

"Take them away and question them carefully about the situation. If you want to file a complaint, feel free to file a complaint. If you slander our comrade again, I will also report the situation to your superiors..."

"You..." Comrade Liu did not expect that this leader would protect Xiao Niannian to such an extent.

He was merely venting his anger. He had been so scared that he had wet his pants just now, and when he was rescued, he was being watched by onlookers. He felt extremely embarrassed, so he wanted to find Xiao Niannian to vent his frustration.

"comrade, I'm sorry, thank you all for saving us..."

The other comrade, comrade Peng, apologized quickly. He was truly grateful to Xiao Niannian and Comrade Lu and the others; if it weren't for them, their lives would not have been saved today, and who knows how many casualties there would have been in this movie theater.

Division Commander Yu and the others received the news and also rushed over by car.

"comrade Wang Aiwu, what is the situation here now?"

Hearing Division Commander Yu's words, Regiment Commander Wang immediately saluted.

"Chief, today, Comrade Xiao Niannian from the First Squad of the Female Soldiers in the New Recruit Regiment discovered that enemy agents had entered the movie theater and intended to blow it up..."

Regiment Commander Wang explained the situation.

Hearing that Xiao Niannian had discovered the situation, Li Le went to call for help, and Lu Jing and the others joined forces to kill two Thugs, protected several hundred of the Masses, and also dismantled more than a dozen landmines, Division Commander Yu was overjoyed.

The leaders of the Public Security bureau were also on the side talking about the situation just now.

"Xiao Niannian, Lu Jing, Li Le... Today, it is truly thanks to you comrades that the Masses in the entire movie theater were saved and state property was protected..."

Next to this movie theater, there were also a sugar factory and some other research institutes; if an explosion and fire had occurred, this entire area would have been engulfed in a sea of flames.

"Chief, you are exaggerating; we just happened to discover this incident," Xiao Niannian said in a calm tone.

Lu Jing's gaze turned to Xiao Niannian, noticing that even in such a situation, Xiao Niannian was extremely calm. She did not show joy on her face because of the great merit she had achieved today.

Seeing Xiao Niannian's calm demeanor, Li Le was also incredibly impressed. She herself had been very excited just now, not because of the merit, but because she felt she was able to protect the Masses and help Niannian and Battalion Commander Lu and the others resolve a major crisis.

"They should still have accomplices; the movie theater was just one location for their criminal activities..." Lu Jing had just interrogated the person and found out some information.
