Chapter 518 Counterattack
Zhang Xun could never have imagined that, at this moment, Hua Yan was hiding in the space behind him, recording all the things he and Ruan Wenjun were saying.
This is evidence; otherwise, without Ruan Wenjun's testimony, Zhang Xun could have easily denied it. With the recording, trying to deny it? Ha! Very difficult.
When Zhang Xun hears the recording, he will probably be shocked. How could someone know about such a secret and even record it?
Hmph! If it weren't for wanting everyone to know the whole story, Hua Yan would have loved to tear this traitor to pieces on the spot. Even if she couldn't kill him, she could use someone else to do the dirty work!
The key is to get Men Buhui to properly repair this frontline command post that's riddled with problems.
The message has been delivered, and Men Buhui is ready to fight, so Zhang Xun can be arrested.
While Zhang Xun was lying in bed having a sweet dream, Xue Biao and his men secretly imprisoned him.
Now is a crucial moment in the pre-battle preparations, and Men Buhui has no time to interrogate Zhang Xun.
The moment Zhang Xun was arrested, he knew he might have been exposed, but two days had passed and no one had come to interrogate him, so he was starting to have second thoughts.
Zhou Hua and Zhang Yang both knew that Zhang Xun had been arrested. Although no one knew why, Zhang Yang couldn't help but think the worst. He wanted to ask Zhang Xun what he had done in person, but he couldn't get close to him at all.
Seeing Zhang Yang's trembling fear, Zhou Hua advised him to be honest with his superiors. Zhang Yang also felt he couldn't wait any longer; regardless of whether Zhang Xun had any issues, he should report this matter.
However, Zhang Yang, who was extremely anxious, tried to contact Men Buhui several times, but was ruthlessly rejected each time. This was because Men Buhui simply didn't have time to pay attention to him; she was busy making plans.
Two days later, the battle began. It seemed that the Chinese side was completely unprepared and somewhat panicked. However, less than an hour into the battle, the Chinese army captured the Y country's command post and then attacked from both sides, leaving the Y country's army with no chance to fight back.
The battle ended with an overwhelming victory for the Chinese army, leaving Country Y severely weakened and capturing many officers.
Hua Yan never imagined that her unconscious involvement would completely change this protracted war. But that's a story for another time.
"Jiu'er, thank you. Without you, this battle would not have been won so easily. I must recommend you for commendation."
Men Buhui excitedly patted Hua Yan's shoulder, feeling a sense of relief as if he had finally gotten his revenge.
"Uncle Men, this is not my achievement. It is a victory won with the blood of the frontline soldiers. You should recommend them for credit."
Hua Yan's merits are remembered by Heaven, so she won't compete with those who risked their lives for merit.
"They all deserve credit, and I will never forget any of them."
Men Buhui knew that after a series of defeats, everyone was holding their breath, which led to today's victory.
"Uncle Men, we captured quite a few Y country officers this time, including Nguyen Van Tuan. This is a recording of Zhang Xun's transaction with Nguyen Van Tuan, which may be useful for your upcoming interrogation."
As she spoke, Hua Yan took out a cassette tape from her handbag and handed it to Men Buhui.
Men Buhui thought to himself: Jiu'er, how did you get this?
Although he had questions, Men Buhui didn't ask them aloud, because so many unbelievable things had happened to Hua Yan, and these were nothing compared to what he had to say.
"Uncle Men, there's nothing I can do to help here. Xue Biao and I will be leaving tomorrow."
Hua Yan thought that if she didn't leave soon, she might miss her final exams.
One thing after another happened day after day, and I didn't do my job at all.
Although Men Buhui was reluctant, he knew this was not a place for Hua Yan. He came over time again because he was incompetent and had no choice but to come and help.
“Jiu’er, Uncle Men is very ashamed that I have troubled you every time.”
Men Buhui's face was full of shame.
Yes! Betrayed by his subordinates and imprisoned in a water dungeon, he might never have gotten out if Hua Yan hadn't come to his rescue. His mind was controlled by the enemy, causing him to issue many wrong orders. If Hua Yan hadn't come, he might still be being used without understanding what was happening, and might already be getting crushed by the enemy.
Another traitor has appeared. If it weren't for Hua Yan, we might still be in a passive and defensive situation.
"Alas! I, the commander-in-chief, am truly incompetent," Men Buhui thought with a sense of disappointment.
"Uncle Men, it is my honor that the country can use me, but my role is limited. The heavy burden ahead will have to be borne by you."
Hua Yan never thought she was omnipotent. When it came to fighting, it was Men Buhui's job. If it weren't for all these messy things that happened, Men Buhui wouldn't be in such a passive position.
There's nothing we can do; I've heard that even the strongest fortresses are destroyed by our own people.
Haha! Sometimes, cleaning up internal corruption is more important than attacking the enemy. Because if they know all your actions, how can you possibly act?
"Great! I heard you got into Peking University, that's amazing. The country will need you even more in the future, I hope you can always stay true to your original aspirations."
"As long as the country needs me, I will go to any battlefield without hesitation."
Uncle Men, is there anything I can tell my family?
Grandma Men and Aunt Wenlan may not say it, but they definitely miss you. Brother Men Sheng and Sister Men Rong have both been admitted to Peking University and are studying very hard; they haven't seen you in a long time either.
Hua Yan knew that Men Bu Hui hadn't been home for a long time.
"Tell Grandma to take care of herself. I'll go back once the war is completely won. Tell your Aunt Wenlan to take good care of the elderly and children, and even more so, to take good care of herself. Tell Mensheng and Menrong to study hard and serve the country in the future."
Men Buhui didn't forget anyone, giving instructions to everyone, without showing any sign of missing them, because he didn't have the time or energy to miss them.
"Okay! I will definitely bring it."
-
After resting for a night, Hua Yan and Xue Biao left by helicopter, without participating in Zhang Xun's interrogation.
When Men Buhui interrogated Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun still cried out that he was innocent, but when he saw Ruan Wenjun and heard the recording, all his pretense came to an abrupt end.
Zhang Yang's soft heart earned him the punishment he deserved; he was forced to leave the front lines and return to civilian life.
Although Zhou Hua's idea was good, he was criticized for not reporting it in time.
With this, the anti-traitor operation on the front lines came to an end.
-
Back in Kyoto, Hua Yan reported the situation at the front lines to Gao Wei, and then went back to school.
Surprisingly, Xue Biao proposed to Liu Heming that he was retiring and wanted to join Hua Yan's team.
Actually, it wasn't entirely without clues, because he had volunteered for this mission himself, having heard that his retired comrades were doing very well under Hua Yan's guidance. Moreover, Hua Yan had taught him a great deal while accompanying him. Therefore, this idea had been brewing for some time.
“Hua Yan, I want to work with you. Some comrades came before and said they could realize their self-worth here. You will assign tasks according to each person’s abilities.”
“Xue Biao, this is a private business, it can’t compare to your business in the army.”
Hua Yan was very surprised to see Xue Biao.
"I know."
"Alright! I reckon you'll be chosen by An Xin. Once you're here, you'll have to follow orders just like before, and there will be dangers too."
Hua Yan knew something about Xue Biao's abilities and was willing to have such a person to enrich her team.
"Wherever I am placed, it will definitely be after evaluation, and I will follow the arrangements."
Xue Biao knew the criteria Hua Yan and her team used to select people.
"Okay! Go to the courtyard house first, and let Uncle Quan make arrangements for you."
Hua Yan called Liu Quan and asked him to take over Xue Biao.
More and more retired soldiers are now being received by Huayan Military Reception Center, and it seems to be their first choice. Not only is the salary high, but they can also do what they like based on their individual abilities, so now, without Liu Heming's persuasion, people are already volunteering to come here.
