72: Tang Yao was stripped naked, beaten unconscious, and hospitalized.

Regiment Commander Hu returned to the Guesthouse, looking at his wife and daughter with a very grim expression.

"You two are truly muddle-headed. Comrade Xiao Niannian saved Pingping, how could you, wife, still hit her? If it weren't for her, Pingping's life wouldn't have been saved..."

When he came out just now, he specifically called a Comrade-in-arms here, and what that person said was completely different from what his daughter said.

He was extremely angry and also a bit remorseful.

"Hu Ping, get on your knees."

Hu Ping heard her father's words and looked at him in surprise.

"Dad, I didn't do anything wrong, I'm the victim. How can you side with an outsider..."

"Kneel! We've truly spoiled you too much. That's why you still have the same temper in the Military Unit as before..."

Hu Pings Mother heard her husband's words and immediately shielded her daughter.

"Old Hu, how can you make our daughter kneel for an outsider? Pingping was held hostage, she almost lost her life and ended up in the hospital..."

"You are not allowed to protect her anymore. This is the Military Unit, not the Hu family. If she causes trouble, no one will protect her..."

Hu Ping was severely scolded. She dared not disobey and knelt on the ground.

After she admitted her mistake, Regiment Commander Hu made Hu Ping kneel for a while longer before he left.

"Old Hu, how can you be like this? Our daughter, whom we usually dote on, has never suffered such grievances..."

"If you keep spoiling her, she will definitely cause big trouble..."

Hu Pings Mother didn't care, though.

"With you and her elder uncle protecting her, and my maiden family, what big trouble can she cause? It's that Xiao Niannian; if it weren't for her, how could our daughter suffer such a great grievance? I will never let Xiao Niannian off."

"Don't act recklessly. This is the Military Unit, not your family..."

Regiment Commander Hu immediately warned his wife upon hearing her words.

"Alright, I know, don't be angry anymore..."

Hu Pings Mother agreed outwardly, but she held a grudge in her heart. She wanted to make it impossible for Xiao Niannian to stay in the Military Unit.

Xiao Niannian saw Hu Ping return furiously, but she didn't pay it any mind. Someone like Hu Ping wasn't worth her attention. With Hu Pings Mother spoiling her daughter so much, she might cause even greater trouble in the future.

Jiao County.

Tang Yao, who arrived here by bus, had a dark expression on his face. He didn't expect his transfer to be so quick. He looked for many people, but none of them took his calls or helped him.

Did these people think he was down and out, and would never rise again? Is that why they acted this way?

When he returned to the city, he would definitely make these snobbish people pay.

Tang Yao got off the bus, just about to ask someone for directions, when he felt his pocket and found a large hole cut in it, and his wallet was gone.

He discovered that his suitcase had also been slashed open, and more than half of its contents were missing.

When he first got on the bus, he was extremely angry, then he dozed off in a daze.

His documents were gone, and his money was gone.

He asked several people for help, but they all waved him off.

Before he even found the County Public Security Bureau, he was already extremely hungry.

He saw a Female Comrade ahead and walked up to ask for directions.

"comrade, hello, I want to ask..."

"How dare you harass my partner! I'll beat you to death..."

A Male comrade rushed out from the side and started beating him.

And then several more people rushed out from behind.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"He dared to harass my partner, block my partner! Beat him..."

"Stop it!"

Just as he opened his mouth to state his identity, he was punched, his mouth filled with blood, and his nose hurt terribly.

"Stop!"

Although he had some martial arts skills, he was ambushed and his mouth was injured. How could Tang Yao fight several people alone?

Seeing Tang Yao fall to the ground, these people left.

Tang Yao, in extreme pain and with swollen eyes, saw someone take his bag.

And then, someone even walked up and started stripping his clothes.

His clothes were custom-made suits, along with cotton padded clothes and trousers.

"Don't steal my clothes!"

His voice was now somewhat weak.

Tang Yao suspected that someone was targeting him. Otherwise, how could he have his money and belongings stolen, then be ambushed, as soon as he arrived here?

And now, he was even being stripped of his suit and cotton padded clothes and trousers.

When he returned to the County Public Security Bureau, he would definitely call his elder brother and ask him to send people to investigate. No matter who wanted to harm him, he would not let them off.

Tang Yao watched helplessly as these people stripped him until he was left with only his underwear and a vest.

"You all just wait for me!"

He shouted with all his might, then passed out.

When he woke up, he was already in the hospital.

Tang Yao looked at the hospital and called out.

"Doctor!"

But he found his voice was very small and somewhat hoarse.

The person in the next bed saw him awake and immediately went to call the doctor and nurse.

"comrade, you're awake."

"I need to find someone from the County Public Security Bureau. Please help me find the comrades from the County Public Security Bureau."

Hearing this, the doctor and nurse nodded.

"You were brought to the hospital by a kind person. We'll send someone to invite the Public Security Comrade over now."

Two comrades from the County Public Security Bureau arrived. Seeing Tang Yao so badly beaten, they thought he wanted to report to the Public Security.

"comrade, were you beaten and want to report to the Public Security?"

"I am Tang Yao, the Deputy Captain of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, transferred to your County Public Security Bureau..."

Tang Yao shouted with effort.

What?

The two comrades from the County Public Security Bureau widened their eyes upon hearing this.

They knew that a comrade had been sent from the city, and that comrade seemed to have been sent over because he had made a mistake.

But how did he end up like this?

"How did you end up like this?"

"I need to make a call."

Tang Yao got excited and then fainted again from the pain.

Xiao Niannian did not know about this matter. She had been training hard these past few days. Although she hadn't heard the 'ding' sound indicating an increase in various abilities, her own physical fitness and constitution had recovered a lot.

At this moment, Xiao Niannian was running a five-kilometer cross-country run.

Twenty-two minutes and twenty seconds was passing, and excellent was within eighteen minutes. Xiao Niannian's current physical fitness was, of course, within eighteen minutes.

For the 400-meter obstacle course, Xiao Niannian was also performing very well now.

Xiao Niannian performed excellently in all of the New Recruit training programs. Because Xiao Niannian was so outstanding, the other company commanders and Platoon Leaders of the New Recruit Regiment also rigorously trained the new recruits under them.

"Look at Xiao Niannian from the female soldier's first squad. You are far behind her. With you like this, what right do you have to complain about being tired?"

"You can't even compare to Xiao Niannian; you're truly disgraceful."

"Run! Run for your lives! Whoever comes in last today will be punished with a thousand push-ups."

All sorts of scolding voices reached Xiao Niannian's ears.
