62: He should be handed over to our troops for disposal.
"Bang."
The door was kicked open, and Lu Jing, comrades from the Public Security Bureau, and leaders from the Military Unit appeared at the doorway.
Everyone saw Deputy Captain Tang raising his weapon, about to shoot Xiao Niannian.
"Xiao Niannian, go die!"
Xiao Niannian saw Lu Jing running toward Deputy Captain Tang, and she ran toward the door.
"Stop! Tang Yao, are you crazy?"
The leader from the Public Security Bureau shouted sternly.
"Stop!"
The leader from the Military Unit also shouted loudly.
But Tang Yao ignored them completely. He only had one thought: Xiao Niannian dared to humiliate him like this, and he must kill her. As for the consequences, he wasn't afraid at all. He had people protecting him, plus people from the Revolutionary Committee; dealing with Xiao Niannian would be too easy.
Forget Xiao Niannian, a mere recruit; even if it were a battalion commander or regiment commander from their Military Unit, he wouldn't be afraid in the slightest.
Lu Jing immediately snatched the weapon, and Deputy Captain Tang fell heavily to the ground.
"Are you alright?"
Hearing Lu Jing's words and seeing his concerned gaze, Xiao Niannian shook her head.
"They said they invited me here to investigate some matters, but after we arrived, they locked us up for an hour or two. Just now, he came in with a weapon, choked me, and insisted I admit I was working with the criminals. When I refused, he tried to kill me. I was so angry, I hit him a few times..."
Hearing Xiao Niannian say she hit him a few times, Deputy Captain Tang grew even angrier. He struggled to get up, feeling intense pain all over his body.
"Nonsense! You clearly kicked me and tried to kill me..."
Lu Jing stood in front of Xiao Niannian, watching Deputy Captain Tang with a grim expression.
"We all saw you try to shoot Xiao Niannian just now. Furthermore, you brought the weapon in here. You suspect our people have problems, but we suspect you have problems..."
Lu Jing had previously led people to assist the Public Security Bureau with the investigation. They had gone to several places and arrested several accomplices. He never expected Deputy Captain Tang to actually lay a hand on Xiao Niannian.
Today, Xiao Niannian endured immense danger and pressure to successfully stop a major crime alongside him. Yet, Deputy Captain Tang treated Xiao Niannian like this.
Hearing Lu Jing's words, Deputy Captain Tang's expression darkened further.
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"
He was accustomed to arrogance after all these years and never showed respect to people from the Military Unit. Seeing how young Lu Jing was, he assumed Lu Jing was just a nobody. Yet, he dared to strike him just now. Now that the Public Security Bureau people were here, he intended to detain all of them.
"Men, detain them."
The men Deputy Captain Tang brought immediately tried to step forward.
"Stop!"
Regiment Commander Wang hadn't expected that his Niece, who had achieved such a great merit today, would not only fail to receive a reward but also suffer such immense grievance here. He had heard that Deputy Captain Tang was somewhat unstable. But he never imagined Deputy Captain Tang would slander his Niece just to claim credit.
"What is all this commotion?"
Director Qian from the city heard the noise and walked in.
Upon seeing Director Qian, Deputy Captain Tang immediately complained.
"Director Qian, we suspect this Xiao Niannian is involved with the criminals and are investigating. But she stole my weapon and beat me up like this! She hit me in several places, and Captain Yu saw it with his own eyes..."
Director Qian's brows furrowed tightly upon hearing Deputy Captain Tang's words.
This matter was originally assigned to Captain Zhou, but Deputy Captain Tang insisted on taking charge of everything, even volunteering for the interrogation work. Who knew he would cause such a scene again?
Regiment Commander Wang was also furious.
"Director Qian, your people agreed that they were inviting my Soldier over to investigate matters. How can you treat them like criminals and try to extort a confession through torture? You are going too far! I will complain about you to the higher-ups regarding this incident. If it weren't for our Military Unit this time, how serious would the accident at the cinema have been..."
Listening to Regiment Commander Wang's words, Director Qian quickly apologized.
"Regiment Commander Wang, this must be a misunderstanding. I will have Deputy Captain Tang apologize immediately." Director Qian looked at Deputy Captain Tang and spoke in a severe tone.
"Hurry up and apologize to the comrades from the Military Unit."
"She hit me, and you want me to apologize? I won't apologize. She is clearly suspicious. She is an orphan, yet her martial arts are so formidable, and she can headshot a criminal with one shot. She might be the descendant of an enemy agent..."
Seeing that Deputy Captain Tang still refused to admit his mistake, Director Qian also became angry.
"Enough! If you don't apologize, I will confine you today. You are also forbidden from participating in this investigation ever again..."
What?
Director Qian was actually helping these people? He refused to accept it.
Deputy Captain Tang glared fiercely at Xiao Niannian. He had recorded this grudge. He would definitely not let Xiao Niannian off easily.
In a moment, he would contact the people from the Revolutionary Committee and have them go to the Military Unit to demand her. He would arrest this Xiao Niannian and interrogate her thoroughly.
He believed that as long as they captured Xiao Niannian and interrogated her carefully, they would definitely uncover many things.
Lu Jing watched Deputy Captain Tang still threatening Xiao Niannian, and his expression grew even darker.
"Is a mere apology enough? Your man violated regulations; an apology is absolutely not sufficient. A person like him must be suspended pending investigation..."
Lu Jing spoke.
Xiao Niannian was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Lu Jing had already said everything. She immediately agreed.
"Yes, Comrade Lu is right. If he isn't suspended pending investigation, who knows how many more people he will harm. I absolutely do not accept his apology."
Regiment Commander Wang listened to Lu Jing and Comrade Xiao's words, and he also spoke up.
"Comrade Lu and Comrade Xiao are right. If he is not suspended pending investigation, we will report this to the Division Headquarters and the Military Region..."
What?
What did Regiment Commander Wang and this pretty boy mean? They wanted him suspended pending investigation?
Hmph, just the few of them? They must be dreaming.
Even if he were suspended pending investigation now, he would be reinstated in a few days.
Director Qian looked at Xiao Niannian. Seeing that Xiao Niannian and the other Female Comrade were fine, he felt relieved. The higher authorities were conducting strict inspections now; Tang Yao's actions would cause them immense trouble.
This time, the comrades from the Military Unit truly helped them greatly.
"Alright, I will suspend him immediately and have him accept the investigation..."
Hearing Director Qian's words, Regiment Commander Wang's expression improved slightly. But Lu Jing had heard about the things Deputy Captain Tang had done, so he didn't believe that merely suspending him for investigation would be the end of it. This man was even more ruthless than the criminals.
"We are not satisfied with just suspension pending investigation."
Hearing Lu Jing's words, Deputy Captain Tang's face grew even gloomier. What did he mean by that? Did he actually want to deal with him?
"Daring to threaten a Soldier with a gun and beating a Soldier is illegal. He should be handed over to us for disposal."
