Commander Long was stunned the moment he heard Zhang Zhongyi's words.
He truly knew nothing about this matter. It was not that his sources were lacking, but rather that all his confidants knew he intended to target Yang Chen. Thus, whenever they heard good news concerning Yang Chen, most of them never reported it to him.
This left him utterly ignorant of Yang Chen's accomplishments.
Upon hearing that Yang Chen had achieved such great feats, Commander Long's expression immediately turned strange.
Then he said coldly, "Deputy Commander Zhang, I can understand that you wish to promote young friend Yang, but the accomplishments you speak of are far too unrealistic. Young friend Yang may be young and promising, but he has not reached the monstrous level you describe, has he?"
He had simply adopted the policy of refusing to believe it no matter what anyone said.
"This..." Zhang Zhongyi grew somewhat anxious.
He did not know of the conflict between Commander Long and Yang Chen, and instinctively assumed that Commander Long simply did not believe him.
"Commander Long, every word I have spoken is true. There has not been a single false word," Zhang Zhongyi said through gritted teeth.
Long Xingyu waved his hand. "Deputy Commander Zhang, I understand how you feel. Young friend Yang is outstanding, but he is still young. In my view, he should undergo further training for some time. It will not be too late to grant him a military post then. As for now, there is no need."
Hearing Long Xingyu's words, Yang Chen was so furious that he laughed instead.
Long Xingyu was truly making it obvious that he intended to target him.
Yang Chen's earlier decision to ignore Long Xingyu did not mean he had a good temper. Long Xingyu had targeted him again
