Chapter 658 Wan Guliu's Arrival
Wang Wei's roar stunned Wang Tao.
The air froze, and the surroundings went silent.
"Dad, what did you just say?"
"You're not Lu Yu's match? You must be joking, right?"
"My ass, why would I joke about that? I'm a general; why would I make such a joke?" Wang Wei shouted angrily, and his bad temper was on full display.
"Dad, but... what's going on? He's the same age as me, so how can he be this strong?"
"I don't know the details, but just don't go to the enlistment exam. I'll make you a note to say that you've had an accident and suffered serious injuries, so you can't take the exam."
Wang Tao sat on the bed in a daze. He lowered his head and hummed helplessly.
After Wang Wei left the room, Wang Tao tried to fall asleep. However, he failed to do so even after rolling over and over again. Wang Wei's words shocked him so much that he could not fall asleep.
...
The next morning, base one mobilized hundreds of people, who gathered in the teleportation square, forming a neat line.
A colossal formation emitted a dazzling light on the ground as a teleportation gate opened in the air.
One after another, strong, stoic figures walked out, causing the officers standing around to salute!
"Welcome back, General Lin!"
"Welcome back, Lieutenant General Xu!"
"Welcome..."
After a series of welcomes, a solemn figure slowly walked out, causing everyone to hold their breath.
The one who walked out of the portal was none other than Wan Guliu himself!
He stood in the middle of the group, looked at everyone, and waved his hand. "Everyone, you've worked hard. Go and continue your day, and don't just stand here."
"Welcome back, Commander Wan, to base one!"
Deafening shouts reverberated throughout the entire square. Under the continuous waving of Wan Guliu, they gradually dispersed, leaving only the few who had just teleported back.
Wan Guliu turned around and looked at General Lin. He asked, "Has Lu Yu arrived?"
"He has arrived."
"Alright, call him over. I want to treat him to a meal."
General Lin was not surprised by this. In the meeting just now, he already knew Lu Yu's identity and that Lu Yu had revealed the truth about the ancient ruins.
At that moment, a young man walked over with a document. He handed it to General Lin.
"General Lin, there's a document here that you need to look at."
General Lin took the document and read it carefully.
"All right; you can go now."
He then handed the document to Wan Guliu.
"Commander, please take a look. Something happened in the base while we were away."
When Wan Guliu heard that, he quickly took the document and flipped through it carefully.
"Did Lu Yu have a conflict with Wang Wei's son?"
"The details are all here. My secretary can be trusted, and the information he investigated is absolutely authentic."
"To protect his son, Wang Wei even tried to destroy the surveillance records. Unfortunately, his authority is not high enough."
Wan Guliu nodded slightly. "I know many military officers in high positions will also help their family members. I wouldn't scrutinize everything under normal circumstances, but this person crossed a line. It looks like an intervention is needed."
General Lin added, "How dare Wang Tao try to kill in base one. He even used Wang Wei's authority to threaten the soldiers nearby not to interfere; what a hooligan!"
"Vall Wang Wei to my office!"
"He's lucky Lu Yu is fine. If anything were to happen to him, Wang Wei would have to stay in prison for the rest of his life!"
"Hmph!" Wan Guliu snorted in anger and threw the document aside.
Whoosh!
The paper flew out and was scattered on the ground.
Wan Guliu quickly left the square and headed toward the command center.
Wang Wei had already received the notice in the command centre and was trembling.
He headed to Lin Zhanyu's—General Lin's—office. General Lin was the highest commander here and managed the entire stronghold.
After Wang Wei came in, he found a chair and sat down. He began to wait uneasily.
He rubbed his palms, nervous. He took a deep breath and muttered softly.
"Please don't let it be something serious. It must be just a simple conversation. Please let it be just a simple conversation..."
He hoped Lin Zhanyu had called him in just to get him to report on the situation in the base during this period.
"It's definitely not about Lu Yu. General Lin shouldn't know about it yet."
Wang Wei mumbled in a low voice.
The office door was pushed open at that moment, and Lin Zhanyu walked in.
Swish!
Wang Wei immediately stood up and saluted Lin Zhanyu.
"General Lin!"
Lin Zhanyu didn't reply and walked in directly. He didn't sit in the office chair.
The door was pushed open again, and Wan Guliu slowly walked in.
Wang Wei trembled in fear when he saw Wan Guliu.
"Co... Commander Wan, why are you here? What a pleasant surprise!"
"Are you nervous to see me here?" Wan Guliu looked at him and asked.
"No, how could that be? I'm delighted to see you." Wang Wei replied nervously, with his forehead full of sweat.
Lin Zhanyu stood to the side, and Wan Guliu walked over to sit on the chair that had originally belonged to him.
"Have a seat; I'm the one looking for you."
Wang Wei sat down slowly. "Commander Wan, I'm sure you'd like to know what happened at the base during this period of time. I'll make a detailed report now."
"No need; I called you over regarding Lu Yu."
In an instant, Wang Wei's eyes widened!
"Lu Yu... That young man arrived at the base yesterday and should still be taking his rest now. Should I call him over?"
Wan Guliu stared at Wang Wei and said, "Your son, did he find trouble with Lu Yu and threaten to kill him?"
"This... Is it a rumor? I don't know much about the matters of the young."
"Cut it. There was a surveillance camera recording when he was looking for trouble with Lu Yu. You used your position to destroy the surveillance video forcefully. Fortunately, you have no right to retrieve the backup, and I have already seen the surveillance video."
Wang Wei's mind went blank. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
"You don't have anything else to say, do you?"
"With your son's attitude, does he even have the qualifications to join the military? Do you two intend to be gangsters here? Were you planning on killing whoever you wanted?"
Wang Wei's body trembled as he quickly explained, "Commander Wan, I swear I never had such thoughts. My son was just acting on impulse. Young people are competitive and easily jealous. Since he made a mistake, I'm sure he will apologize and admit his mistakes. Please give him a chance."
"If it was someone else, we'll let this matter go if your son apologizes and admits his mistake. But you should never have done the same with Lu Yu!"
Wan Guliu slammed the table. "I don't have time to deal with this. You can leave the military for good after I'm done settling this with Lu Yu!"
