CHAPTER 984: CHAPTER 985: WHAT AUTHORITY DEPUTY BATTALION COMMANDER QI HAS

Qi Taiguo accompanied Cheng Su to the playground. Since everyone else had gone to the auditorium to enjoy the excitement, the playground was empty, leaving only the two of them.

"What’s wrong? Wasn’t the show good?" Qi Taiguo asked.

"It was good. It’s just that the drama made me feel uneasy," Cheng Su said.

"Silly, it’s all fictional, isn’t it? It’s fake, and you took it seriously?" Qi Taiguo laughed.

"But you can’t rule out that these things didn’t happen, can you? During wartime, things like this were probably quite common, right? The drama even had a happy ending. In reality, the wife might never see her husband come home in a lifetime!" Cheng Su said, kicking the snow beneath her feet.

Qi Taiguo felt a pang in his heart and quickly said, "Alright, alright, it’s a happy occasion, why bring this up? It’s a time of peace now."

Cheng Su stopped walking, looked at him, and said, "Even though it’s a time of peace, there will still be wars, and there will be places where you need to exert effort, take on missions, or even risk your life, right?"

Qi Taiguo furrowed his brows.

"Qi Taiguo, promise me, no matter what mission you take on, you have to stay alive, don’t make me wait in vain," Cheng Su said, looking into his eyes.

Qi Taiguo nodded and said, "I promise you. I’ve been on so many missions, when have I ever broken my word?"

Cheng Su pursed her lips and said, "I don’t care, just remember always."

"Alright, alright, I’ve remembered, okay, my queen."

Only then did Cheng Su smile, playfully hitting him lightly.

"Are we going back to watch the performance or not? If not, let’s go home. Don’t just stand here; in a bit, you’ll complain about being too cold again," Qi Taiguo said.

Cheng Su felt a bit tired and cold, so she said, "Then let’s go home!"

The two of them walked out of the playground and suddenly stopped.

Smack!

The crisp sound of a slap echoed, and Qi Taiguo’s face turned cold as he walked over.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Dong, if the orderly has done something wrong, they should write a reflection. Hitting someone is private punishment," Qi Taiguo said coldly, looking at Dong Jun.

He had just directly slapped the young soldier.

The young solider saluted Qi Taiguo and then bowed his head silently.

"I wondered who it was, turns out to be Deputy Battalion Commander Qi!" Dong Jun raised an eyebrow, looking at Qi Taiguo with a flash of resentment in his eyes.

Cheng Su saw it clearly and frowned.

"I disciplined him because he doesn’t understand military rules and let people in casually, disrupting military order," Dong Jun said, then looked at the soldier, "Tell me, was I wrong to discipline you?"

"Reporting officer, no!"

"You see," Dong Jun said smugly, glancing at Qi Taiguo.

"Even so, it should be done in private, some guidance and criticism, writing a reflection. How can you hit someone?" Qi Taiguo said discontentedly.

Dong Jun’s lips curved coldly. He took a step closer and said, "What, Deputy Battalion Commander Qi, are you going to discipline me or teach me how to be an officer? Really exuding military authority, aren’t you? You just got promoted, didn’t you? It’s not your place to reprimand me!"

Qi Taiguo looked steadily at him, exuding a fierce energy that was murderous intent.

Dong Jun felt a shock at heart. When did Qi Taiguo develop such a potent presence?

Thinking about the training he had just attended, Dong Jun’s expression darkened further. He also wanted to go to that training camp. He knew that after attending, there was a high chance of getting promoted. He had long wanted to remove that ’deputy’ title.

But the regiment commander didn’t recommend him to go; instead, Qi Taiguo was sent. Sure enough, as soon as he returned, he was promoted to Deputy Battalion Commander, equaling him, while he himself didn’t get promoted this time. Really hateful.
