He glanced at the dispute nearby and impatiently waved his hand: "If you want to die, then don't get in the way!"
Then the excavator started again, and the bucket slowly reached for the makeshift funeral hall.
Suddenly, a sharp command rang out, "Stop!"
The Venomous Snake Special Team and the Wolf King Special Team arrived just in time to witness this scene.
Han Zuan shouted angrily, grabbed an iron rod from the ground, and struck the boom shaft of the excavator, causing it to halt immediately.
The two teams of special forces soldiers stepped forward and saw the three generations of a family tightly embracing each other, their faces streaming with tears. Their eyes also moistened.
Long Chuzhi, holding Yu Fei's ashes, said in a low voice, "Aunt, sister-in-law, we've brought Xiao Fei back."
The group immediately stood straight and solemnly saluted Yu Fei's family.
Yu Fei's mother, the elderly woman with gray hair, took the urn with tears in her eyes and finally couldn't hold back her cries.
Yu Fei's wife also held her daughter tightly, tears streaming down her face.
At that moment, the head of the construction team threw away his cigarette and walked over with a displeased look.
"You all really think you're something!" he said, pulling out a pistol and aiming it at Ma Hong, who stood on the outside.
But Ma Hong quickly snatched the gun and kicked him to the ground.
Despite the head of the construction team furiously ordering his men to attack, how could these ordinary people be a match for battle-hardened special forces soldiers?
Soon, they were all subdued on the ground.
Even so, the head of the construction team arrogantly threatened, "You won't be around forever, just wait and see how I deal with them when you're gone!"
With those words, he turned and left with a cold laugh.
Lin Beichen watched his back coldly, then glanced at Yu Fei's righteous photo on the altar, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He turned his head and called after the head of the construction team.
The head turned involuntarily at Lin Beichen's call.
Seeing his arrogant expression, Lin Beichen felt a surge of anger.
He knew that as a soldier, taking action would surely bring punishment from the garrison district.
At best, confinement or a reprimand; at worst, expulsion from the military, or even imprisonment.
However, thinking of the sacrificial Yu Fei and the four abandoned family members, his patience had run out.
He stared coldly at the head of the construction team and said in an icy tone, "Since you are so arrogant, I'll grant your wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Beichen mustered all his strength and delivered a fierce kick to the other man's chest.
"Lin Beichen!" Xia Luyao and the others exclaimed, but it was too late to stop him.
They saw the head of the construction team kicked flying by Lin Beichen, his head hitting the nearby excavator heavily.
With a "bang" thud, he fell to the ground, dark red blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Everyone rushed forward, secretly lamenting. Lin Beichen had really caused big trouble this time!
"Lin Beichen, you were too impulsive!" Xia Luyao's face was filled with shock and worry.
The Flying Eagle and others frowned deeply, looking at him with concern.
"If you do this, you'll definitely be punished when we get back!" they said worriedly, fearing the consequences could be severe, even leading to Lin Beichen's expulsion.
Lin Beichen, however, coldly looked at the construction chief on the ground, saying indifferently, "Punishment is punishment, it doesn't matter!"
He did this to eliminate future threats completely.
After they left, this construction chief would certainly seize the opportunity for revenge.
Today, crippling him could at least keep Yu Fei's family safe.
Even if it comes at a cost, it is worth it.
Everyone sighed helplessly after hearing his words; this was no small matter, and the punishment from the higher-ups was unpredictable.
Sure enough, as soon as they returned to the military district, the incident reached the higher-ups in the Yanjing City Garrison District.
The Commander and Chief of Staff Deng immediately summoned Lin Beichen to the conference room to discuss how to deal with him.
Although the construction chief's conduct was hateful, Lin Beichen's action of kicking him to death severely violated the garrison district's discipline.
Normally, such behavior would certainly result in several years of detention and expulsion from the military.
But Lin Beichen's case was special. He had performed excellently in numerous missions, and the Northern General Military Region held him in high regard.
Therefore, how to handle Lin Beichen became a dilemma.
To neither lose this talent nor fail to give an explanation to subordinates.
Commander Fu looked at Lin Beichen, troubled, and said, "Lin Beichen, oh Lin Beichen, what should I say about you! Why were you so impulsive this time?"
Lin Beichen stood straight and replied proudly, "Report to the Chief of Staff, I admit I was impulsive, but I have no regrets!"
Thinking of the construction chief's arrogance and threats, he felt proud of his actions.
He couldn't let his comrade's family suffer any harm.
Commander Fu was too angry to speak. Deng Zhong hurriedly smoothed things over, "Alright, Commander Fu, don't be angry. Lin Beichen was just standing up for his fallen comrade!"
Commander Fu sighed, barely calming his anger.
Indeed, the construction team's behavior was utterly unacceptable!
However, the impact of this incident was severe and couldn't be easily settled. As they were discussing how to handle it, members of the Venomous Snake Special Team suddenly burst into the conference room, expressing their willingness to take responsibility and pleading for Lin Beichen.
Commander Fu was rendered speechless with anger, while Deng Zhong once again intervened, reminding him of Lin Beichen and the Venomous Snake Special Team's importance to the garrison district. Finally, Commander Fu reluctantly sighed, deciding to impose a severe punishment but retain their military status.
On the way back, Lin Beichen looked at the special team members and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you worried about actually being expelled from the military?"
After all these years in the military, if they were expelled, all their past efforts and contributions would be in vain.
Flame laughed carelessly, responding, "If you're not afraid, what should we be scared of?"
Old Dao also chimed in, "That's right, there's a saying 'the law does not punish the masses.' We bear this incident together, better than you taking all the blame and punishment alone."
Listening to his teammates, a warm current surged in Lin Beichen's heart. These comrades were truly loyal.
"Thank you all so much this time," Lin Beichen said gratefully.
Thunder patted him on the shoulder, joking with a smile, "What's there to thank for! Besides, wasn't there a potential plea from your future father-in-law?"
Lin Beichen frowned slightly at that, what future father-in-law? Before he could react, Xia Luyao had already caught the joking tone in Thunder's words.
She immediately glared at Thunder, sternly saying, "Thunder, if you keep talking nonsense, go to the training ground for extra practice!"
Thunder, however, fearlessly retorted, "Captain, how am I talking nonsense? I didn't even name names, so why do you resonate with it?"
Xia Luyao glared at him, causing Thunder to quickly find an excuse to slip away as he sensed trouble.
Everyone was amused by this scene, but as Xia Luyao's gaze swept over, they immediately fell silent again.
She turned to look at Lin Beichen, biting her lip, but eventually said nothing and walked away.
Lin Beichen smiled helplessly, returning with his teammates. This matter was considered settled for now.
As days passed, the Venomous Snake Special Team had no missions for a while. Lin Beichen took advantage of the training downtime to teach his teammates the Taiyi Five Elements Fist. Once they learned it, they could teach it to other soldiers in the garrison district.
On this day, Lin Beichen was teaching the final move of the Taiyi Five Elements Fist.
"Silent and shapeless, the whole body empty and transparent, responding naturally..."
He recited the mantra and said to his teammates, "This is the last move's mantra. Memorize it first, and then I'll teach you the specific techniques."
However, his teammates appeared troubled; the mantra was indeed too profound for them.
Old Dao said with a bitter face, "Lin Beichen, this mantra is too hard to understand, we have no idea what it's talking about."
Wild Ox also scratched his head in agreement, "Yeah, what five sounds and five shapes, I don't get it at all."
Hearing this, Lin Beichen could only smile wryly, then began to explain the meaning of the mantra in detail.
