Chapter 132: 132 Take him down

Gu Shaoyun was wearing a long black leather coat with black leather gloves and a solemn look. He looked to be in a bad mood.

"Captain Gu, what are you doing here?"

Qin Feng asked doubtfully.

Gu Shaoyun, was a high ranking official, who had never been to such a grass-roots camp. Qin Feng had his own small house in the military area compound, it was more than 80 square meters in size and had two bedrooms. All accommodations were well prepared, and he was not used to living in such a luxurious place. The division of classes in the compound was too noticeable, from the cadres at the battalion level to the cadres at the military level. The difference could clearly be seen in the house in which they lived. The higher the rank was, the bigger the house and the more luxurious it was.

Qin Feng could not stand those children from the senior cadres, they always used their position to crush people. In their words, they always consciously or unintentionally brought out their sense of family superiority and imposed it on those beneath them. They would first look at the military rank on the shoulder of whomever they were speaking to. When they found themselves speaking to a lower rank, they often bullied them and when they met with a higher rank, they would flatter them. These were not genuine people.

Gu Shaoyun was this kind of person. He liked to associate himself the rich and powerful people. For a successful future in the military, he appeased the leaders from all walks of life, and in order to pave the way for himself, he often used unethical means to get what he wanted.

After many years of coming into contact with him, Qin Feng hadn’t garnered much favor with this once elite special forces member.

However, because he was now a superior leader, Qin Feng was also dealing with him all the time, exercising restraint and not taking any of his praise seriously. However, on several occasions while discussing plans for missions, they would still have heated quarrels about the differences of their opinions. Although everyone would apologize to each other and say that they would not hold any grudges, they both knew that after those quarrels, the two men would just grow further and further apart.

"Qin Feng, I just got back from the hospital. Green dragon's condition is stable. After resting for some time he will be good as new. You have made a great contribution to this battle, but you did not attend tonight's celebration banquet. No one else thought twice about it, but as a captain, I must think of you. Ha-ha. The golden four-member group was once brilliant, but now you are left completely alone. Who else would be so deserving of my attention?

When he finished speaking, Gu Shaoyun made a standard military salute to Qin Feng. "On behalf of the special combat brigade of the Beijing military region in China, I would like to thank you for your bravery and hard work. The country and the people will remember you."

"Captain Gu, these words of praise don’t have to be said in private, right?"

Qin Feng knew that this was nothing other than Gu Shaoyun's usual opening remark. Every time he spoke to others, he would say something beautiful and almost poetic. As soon as the other person was in happy mood, he would cut to the chase and talk about what he originally intended the conversation to be about. He would often make 360 degree turn in the conversation, so you’d never quite know what to expect. People with poor psychological tolerance wouldn’t be able to put up with it.

Gu Shaoyun was shocked, masking any anxiety by reaching for a cigarette, he lit it and blew out some smoke. He went over to the door, locked it and then looked at Qin Feng pensively, "Actually, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Alright, what is it?"

Qin Feng knew this was coming, with a calm look he said, "As long as it’s within my power, I will do it for you."

"You’re words are satisfying enough already."

Gu Shaoyun didn’t skip a beat and continued, "I know you have a list of drug lords in the area. You made Shark Kun very angry over it. He sent hundreds of mercenaries to hunt you down. The final result was the dismal situation the Golden Quad is in right now. When you came back from the Golden Triangle, the report you gave to headquarters was to deal with something that your deceased comrades left to you. We also know how you feel, so we didn’t want to bother you. But then you stayed in Tianhe for a few months and never told the organization the whole process that you went through when you went to the Golden Triangle to investigate of SharK Kun's nests. What were you hiding? You have been on a mission to the Middle East this time around, and as far as I know, the embassy officials have praised your actions to the High Chief, and it’s looking like you will all receive a Medal of Honor. But that can’t become the reason why you're hiding Sharkun's list. So what is it?"

Although Qin Feng had the heart to prepare for this talk, he did not expect for him to bring this up. Gu Shaoyun so directly carried the matter to the table since he was not afraid of him at all. Since he wanted to talk about this, then that’s what he’d get.

"Captain Gu, I admit that stealing Shark Kun's list of drug sales positions in China was not part of the mission. I did take it, and this directly led to Shark Kun's crazy revenge on us, which made my fellow soldiers suffer misfortunes. I blame myself for this. I am willing to assume all accountability, even in military courts, and I will not deny that. But I don't regret stealing that list, because it clearly records most of Shark Kun's sales network in China. Although it's just a covert code, I believe that with our military investigative techniques, it can be deciphered in a short period of time and quickly identify the drug shelters, or even the bosses behind all the provinces and cities that Shark Kun has links to. To find these would be a great contribution to all of China. Shark Kun had established an immense drug network, and every year it brought him hundreds of billions of yuan of wealth. Countless young people who were supposed to have beautiful youth and years of life and happy families have been damaged by this man. I don't know how many people are on the path of no return. He undermined the peace and stability of society. If all of Shark Kun’s drug points in China are destroyed, this will be a great achievement. Even if we, the Golden four were to have lost more than we have, or even if it were to take my own life, I think it would be worth it. Even if I would have been given another choice, I would still have taken that list."

Qin Feng's words were said firmly and excitedly. In the past few months, his heart had been suffering. He had more than once questioned himself and his actions. It had all indirectly led to the death of Xiao He and the disappearance of Green Snake. Was it worthwhile to collapse the Golden four, previously an invincible group? After considering it several times, Qin Feng still felt it held value. Every day he felt more confident that he was doing the right thing and was able to live without any regrets.

Listening to Qin Feng's explanation, Gu Shaoyun, the high-profile leader, was naturally embarrassed to say something else.

Qin Feng really had done the right thing. From a certain point of view, the military should continue to carry forward his flexible thinking and act according to circumstances, instead of blindly following the original plan and following their usual routine. If they all acted according to the routine, they might make less major mistakes, but lose out on many opportunities to actually get lasting results. They lacked room for their own brilliance and excellence.

"Qin Feng, what you say makes sense. However, you should be aware that the army has its own rules and that nothing can be done solely by temperament. You should trust and respect your superiors, who will consider the pros and cons and make the right choices. Since you have such an important list in your hands, why didn't you hand it in? What the hell are you waiting for? By you doing so, it makes me doubt your motives. "

Gu Shaoyun's words were more and more distrusting, which made Qin Feng’s heart tie up in a knot.

He interrupted in a hurry, saying, "Motive? What do you mean? What the hell do I have to gain by keeping the list to myself? Just say it!"

"Are you waiting for a buyer to sell the priceless list to the lawless?"

Gu Shaoyun asked bluntly.

Hearing this, Qin Feng felt a fire burst in his chest.

He was furious, his fists clenched, and he wanted to punch him in the face.

"What the hell are you talking about? A buyer?"

Qin Feng was couldn’t believe this outrageous suggestion, "What do you think about all day? Do you just sit there trying to figure me out, how to screw me over? I know you don't like me, you think I'm unruly, I don't obey everything you tell me to do. You always think I don't take you seriously and you always try to trip me up. You want to remove me from the SWAT team, right?"

Now that everything was out in the open, there was nothing to hide.

Gu Shaoyun was stunned and simply said, "I don’t specifically target anyone. I am the captain of the special combat team. I have the right to discipline and manage my subordinates. My decision represents the requirements of the superior leadership and the overall plan as a whole, and that includes you. Your fighting abilities are the best there is and you often create military miracles and build wonders. I will not take that away from you. However, every time there’s trouble, it comes back to you. I do not know how many times I’ve help you deal with your troubles. Often times, the leadership doesn’t require you catch two birds with one stone, they just need a certain goal accomplished, and that’s enough. The other tasks are left to others, understand? But you? You’re always picking up the tasks of others without warning, do you know how many people you provoked without knowing? Those tasks could be the key to promotion for others, meanwhile you…”

To tell the truth, Qin Feng's heart only had room for fighting, he had nothing but victory on his mind. His eyes could not bear to see crime or injustice. When he saw the people doing bad things, he would eliminate the source of the problem. He never thought of such consequences. He never realized, what Gu Shaoyun was suggesting. If what he said was true, it could bring him many troubles in the future.

For the first time, Qing Feng thought that perhaps, in the eyes of other people, he really was that annoying soldier who always blocked others’ chance at moving up in the world.

However, Qin Feng, still had a clear conscience. He did not do a thing that would bring shame to his people and his country. Even if he had affected individuals and their official career, he did not think that he was in the wrong. In other words, he would have done still do it if it came to that decision the next time. In fact, he would be more determined to do so.

What he hated most was this kind of "parasite" in the military. They relied on seniority, on "picking up sesame seeds" for a little promotion, not on the spirit of fighting for the people, not on the determination to fight for the life of the country, but on tricks, and on relationships.

"Do you think that my personal reputation is so high and that I am brilliant enough to overshadow you as a captain? Is that the reason you want to take me down?"
