I came down from the dormitory building.
Zhou Xuan walked forward angrily, muttering to himself:
"Fine, don't sign then, why say so many hurtful things..."
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.
Seeing the figure approaching from ahead, his expression suddenly changed, and he said:
"Captain, are we going back to the dorm?!"
Shen Heng stopped in front of him, asked nothing, and simply extended his hand:
"Give it to me."
"Huh? Give me what?" Zhou Xuan still wanted to play dumb.
Shen Heng didn't speak, he just stared at him.
Zhou Xuan's smile froze. He awkwardly tugged at the corners of his mouth, but finally took out the statement from his pocket and handed it over.
"Only our team, and Wu Hao and Wu Hao Zhao Gang from the Peregrine Falcon, haven't signed yet," Zhou Xuan explained in a low voice. "I just went to them, and they yelled at me and sent me away... So, Captain, how about we just have our own people sign and hand it in directly?"
Shen Heng didn't reply, but quickly glanced at the document and nodded.
"Okay, I understand. You can go back now; I'll handle the rest!"
"Hmm? Captain, how do you plan to handle this?" Zhou Xuan asked, somewhat puzzled. He could clearly tell that Shen Heng didn't seem to intend to handle it the way he suggested.
"You go back first, I'll come back and talk to you later," Shen Heng said calmly.
After saying that, he walked straight in the direction Zhou Xuan had come from.
Zhou Xuan stood still, blinking hesitantly.
Uh, is this... planning to go find Wu Hao and the others again?
After some deliberation about whether to follow Shen Heng's advice, Zhou Xuan ultimately decided to do as Shen Heng suggested for the time being.
Meanwhile, Shen Heng arrived at Wu Hao's door and knocked.
A moment later, the door opened.
When Wu Hao saw Shen Heng appear outside the door, he was slightly taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and asked:
"Did Captain Shen come because of that situation report?"
As they were talking, Zhao Gang from the Peregrine Falcon Squad also came out of the room.
Both of them looked somewhat dazed.
Several days have passed since that incident, and logically things shouldn't be like this anymore, but Zhou Xuan's words just now reminded them of their fallen teammates.
"Hmm," Shen Heng responded calmly.
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions, as if he had made up his mind, and said:
"Okay, I understand. Please bring me the statement of facts, and I'll sign it!"
Zhao Gang moved his lips slightly behind him, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.
However, under their watchful eyes, Shen Heng did not produce the statement they had just seen.
He leaned slightly forward, his tone still calm but with a hint of sincerity, and said:
"I'm not here to get your signatures. I only just found out what Zhou Xuan did, but since he's my teammate and did it for me, I can't escape responsibility."
"Furthermore, I have also lost important teammates in the past, so I understand how you feel right now. We shouldn't have come, and we certainly shouldn't have brought anything for you to sign."
"But since it has already happened, all I can do is apologize to you!"
Wu Hao and Zhao Gang stood there, slightly stunned. They really hadn't expected this situation to arise.
Does the other party need to apologize to both of them?
Is that necessary?
To be honest, although they had just refused, so many people had already signed that statement, and they didn't feel that their position in the base would affect the statement.
Moreover, even though the base didn't explicitly say so, they could still sense the other party's importance within the base.
Putting aside the importance of ability, just based on what we learned about the enemy's actual combat strength during this operation, we can tell that their future is brighter than ours.
So... is it necessary for the other party to apologize to both of them?
Isn't that unnecessary?
But they still came!
He bowed slightly in front of the two of them.
After a long silence, Wu Hao finally spoke, his lips trembling slightly.
" Captain Shen, you don't need to do this. I'll sign if it's necessary. What I just did was... it was just..."
He paused for a moment before continuing:
"It just feels a bit absurd! The captain and the others sacrificed themselves in the operation, but you... are arguing over a little punishment!"
"Yes, I understand, but I really didn't want you to continue signing!" Shen Heng said, straightening up and picking up the document.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Wu Hao and Zhao Gang, it was folded neatly, and...
"Sizzle..."
The document was torn to shreds under the watchful eyes of the three people.
Wu Hao's lips trembled slightly; at that moment, he truly believed Shen Heng's idea.
"I might need to show the relevant documents to other people, so I can't just throw them away," Shen Heng said, holding the torn documents in his hand.
The two were silent for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
Seeing this, Shen Heng bowed again. "In that case, I'll be leaving. I'm truly sorry for what happened!"
After saying that, Shen Heng straightened up, turned around, and left.
" Captain Shen..."
A slightly trembling voice came from behind.
Shen Heng paused briefly, then turned to look over.
"Actually, I listened to everything you said before, and I know that the operation that time was right and meaningful, but..."
Tears streamed down Wu Hao's face as he trembled and said:
"But I don't know why, I just can't control it, I want to blame this on you. I don't know why, really, I really don't know..."
The more Wu Hao spoke, the more tears streamed down his face.
Behind him, Zhao Gang's eyes also reddened.
It wasn't just because she was thinking of her teammates, but also because she felt ashamed of Shen Heng's behavior.
Shen Heng looked at the two of them, paused for a few seconds, and then spoke in a very calm voice:
"I know. If you really can't get over it, then feel free to blame it on me. It was my decision after all..."
After saying that, he turned around and left once again.
Wu Hao and Zhao Gang stood there, stunned, watching Shen Heng's departing figure...
Following the same pattern, Shen Heng went to find the other inspectors on the list who had lost teammates in this operation.
Some were surprised, some were taken aback, and some simply nodded in silence.
After it was over, Shen Heng called Zhou Xuan to the city wall.
Shen Heng patted the seat next to him, gesturing for Zhou Xuan to sit down.
He then picked up the beer he had brought and handed it over.
"Want some?"
Zhou Xuan was taken aback, but still accepted it.
Shen Heng also opened a bottle for himself, took a sip, and asked:
Do you know what I just did?
Zhou Xuan put down his beer. He had intended to say that Wu Hao others had probably gone to persuade them, but the words stuck in his throat.
Just as he had told others before, if Shen Heng had known, he would have stopped it immediately.
But going back is...?
With a hint of hesitation, Zhou Xuan shook his head.
"Have no idea!"
