Chapter 420 - Taken Away All Titles and Ranks
Chapter 420: Taken Away All Titles and Ranks
– Yanjing Hospital –
After Xu Cheng got off the plane, he went straight to the hospital. Compared to before, Lin Chuxue was doing much better.
She already woke up, although her face was still slightly pale due to the blood loss.
When Xu Cheng went in, Lin Chuxue opened her eyes and looked at him, waving.
Xu Cheng smiled. “Awake now?”
Lin Chuxue nodded.
Xu Cheng came to her bedside, and Lin Chuxue immediately buried her head between his arms.
She kept on saying, “It’s good that you are back, it’s good that you are back. Your phone was off, and I couldn’t get to you at all, so I was really worried! Don’t be like this anymore, okay? You don’t have your parents anymore, but you still have me. Xu Cheng, do you still remember what you said to me?”
“I do.” Xu Cheng gently stroked Lin Chuxue’s hair, chuckled, and said, “Whoever hurts you will have to pay the price.”
“Before, I didn’t know why you didn’t want me to disclose our relationship,” Lin Chuxue faintly said, “It turned out to be this reason. But Xu Cheng, I really want to tell everyone about our relationship, I want to receive the world’s blessing.”
“There will be that day, Chuxue, I’m working on it.” Xu Cheng sighed, “You know my profession will make me an enemy to a lot of people. Those people that I have to face are all monsters and animals, and they will do anything to hurt me. But believe me, I will take care of all of this. I already taught those guys that hurt you this time a lesson, do you want me to tell you about them?”
“No need.” Lin Chuxue gently smiled. “Nothing is important, as long as you are safe. I picked this marriage myself, my husband’s a police officer. I respect everything you are doing, and I’m proud of you!”
“Thank you.” Xu Cheng bitterly smiled as he held her tightly in his arms.
Lin Chuxue was like a little cat as she snuggled in Xu Cheng’s arms, and her arms wrapped around Xu Cheng’s waist. She was already not in good shape and hadn’t recovered yet, and now she didn’t want to move at all.
Not long after, Lin Chuxue fell asleep. Outside the ward, Auntie Lan poked her head in and said, “Young Master, someone’s here looking for you.”
Xu Cheng gently put Lin Chuxue’s head on the pillow and then he walked out. Right after he got out, he was handcuffed by the officers. Xu Cheng bitterly smiled, and he didn’t try to fight back.
“Auntie Lan, when she’s awake, tell her that I will be back very soon,” Xu Cheng said to Auntie Lan and then he was taken away.
– Next day, at the military court –
The judge: “Xu Cheng, colonel of the 5th Military Region, during your service period, you didn’t follow the rules due to personal interests and failed to fulfill your duties and follow discipline as a colonel and a leader, severely damaging the reputation of the soldiers of our nation. We hereby revoke your military service status and military titles, and revoke all duties of the Dragon Division.”
Then, the judge asked Xu Cheng, “Do you have any objections?”
Xu Cheng took off his hat and military badges and saluted. “Xu Cheng accepts all judgements! No objections!”
In the audience’s seat, all of the commanders were sighing.
When Xu Cheng left the court, Bei Shan and the other Dragon Division members were all in casual clothes waiting for him in the corridor.
Seeing him come out, they all began clapping.
“I got fired, and you guys are still gloating?”
The J of Diamonds gave him a big thumb up and said, “I don’t know who the next Dragon King is, but speaking of capabilities, he will definitely be below you. Just by the chaos you were able to cause in Wei Nation, you are worthy of being called a mastermind. Congrats, from now on, you are a true Joker!”
Bei Shan chewed on a piece of gum as he said, “I was actually afraid that if you didn’t do what you did and if your woman couldn’t completely recover this, you would fack up Huaxia. So yeah, I’m really glad that you did this to the Wei Nation instead.”
“Haha, and now I want to take a break for some time. When you guys have time, feel free to be my guest and come over for a visit. Senior Bei Shan already tasted my wife’s cooking.”
“What?! You already tried our Goddess’s cooking and you didn’t tell us?” the other Dragon Blades directly put their arms around Bei Shan’s neck and interrogated him.
ei Shan didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. “When we get a chance, I will bring you guys there for sure! And then, whoever doesn’t eat is a big pooooossy!”
“Deal, we can’t wait!” Those guys were all getting excited.
“Alright, thank you all for coming and seeing me off,” Xu Cheng said to those guys and he left, “Just stop here, don’t need to follow me out too, see you guys later.”
Xu Cheng walked down the high steps of the military district court and a military vehicle drove over. In the car, Li Wei and Luo Yi showed their big white teeth and smiled. “Big Brother Cheng, we will drive you!”
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled as he shook his head. After he got into the car, Luo Yi asked Xu Cheng, “Where are we going?”
“To go and see my wife,” Xu Cheng said and he asked, “You two can come out of the base now?”
Luo Yi and Li Wei looked at each other and then bitterly smiled. “You don’t know?”
Xu Cheng shook his head.
Luo Yi: “Actually, we both already know that you are the Dragon king! You didn’t tell us because you didn’t want it to be awkward between us, and you still see us as bros. And since we are bros, in our eyes, who else can convince us if it isn’t you being the Dragon King? After we heard that you got sentenced and lost all your positions and duties in the military, we also caused a scene at the Dragon Division and went back to the military region to argue with the commander, but it didn’t help.”
Li Wei nodded. “Yeah, since we are brothers, we will go through the difficult times together! Back then when we left you behind and went to the Dragon Division, we regretted it very much! Now that you were fired, if we still just stand there and do nothing, are we even bros anymore? So, we tried our best to persuade whoever we can, and when nothing works, we will just leave with you, Big Brother Cheng.”
Xu Cheng raised his brows. “So, you two are done too?”
Luo Yi and Li Wei nodded. They turned around to look at Xu Cheng in the backseat with a bitter look. “Big Brother Cheng, in the future there will be two hobos in the house. We hope you can take care of us.”
Xu Cheng smacked both of them on the back on their heads, not knowing whether he should smile or laugh. He really felt it was a pity for them to throw away their future in the Dragon Division like this… But since it had already happened, then there was not much that could be done to change it.
After getting to the hospital, inside Lin Chuxue’s ward, Xu Cheng introduced both Li Wei and Luo Yi.
Auntie Lan curiously asked, “These two are?”
“My good brothers and comrades in arms,” Xu Cheng introduced.
Luo Yi had a fast tongue. “Auntie Lan, we are unemployed now, so we will probably have to follow Big Brother Cheng around in the future.”
Xu Cheng immediately glared at Luo Yi.
Luo Yi thought Lin Chuxue already knew about what happened to Xu Cheng, and just then did he realize that he said something wrong.
“The thing that Auntie Lan lacks the least is jobs. Don’t worry, since you guys are Young Master’s brothers, finding a job for you guys is a piece of cake!” Auntie Lan laughed as she changed the topic.
But, Lin Chuxue still caught on. That “we are unemployed” from Luo Yi still got her a bit worried as she looked at Xu Cheng and asked, “Are you all right these days?”
Lin Chuxue knew how serious the consequences were for what Xu Cheng did, especially since his military identity. “It’s all good.” Xu Cheng laughed.
Lin Chuxue glanced at him and said, “I’m someone that won the Actress Queen award, your acting skills are really poor!”
If Xu Cheng got fired because of her, he must be really lost and upset right now, right? Lin Chxue thought, because that job was so important to him since it was related to his father, Xu Zhenxiong.
