2908 A Gentleman Speaks Frankly
G3 was shocked and found it even more unbelievable. “Why would he have such a thought? Every participating member has to abide by the rules of the competition. Why would he think that we didn’t abide by the rules? Why would he think that way? Why?”
This made Saluk seem even more sinister.
The Chinese soldiers didn’t break the rules and secretly lightened their load. However, the SFS border defense soldier, Saluk, made such a statement and was so suspicious of them. What did this mean?
This meant that Saluk must have had such thoughts, but he did not dare to do so!
G3 stabilized the rear while Xia Jinyuan acted as the vanguard. While waiting for Saluk’s reply, G3 successfully made the Italian participants dislike Saluk for his actions.
This made Saluk, who was being questioned, so angry that his face turned green. This group of cunning Chinese soldiers was deliberately destroying the other soldiers’ impression of the SFS border defense soldiers.
“You’re too agitated. I didn’t mean anything. I just praised your strength.” The ashen-faced Saluk secretly clenched his fists and controlled the anger in his heart to prevent himself from punching them in a fit of anger.
This group of Chinese soldiers was really sinister and cunning! He initially brought up a possible issue with them, but in the end, it became an issue with the SFS border defense soldiers!
How cunning!
“There are many ways to praise the strength of other countries’ participants. Why did you choose the most disgusting and questioning tone to praise us? I’m sorry, Lieutenant Colonel Saluk. We can’t accept such praise. We even seriously suspect that your motives are filled with malice.”
The more Saluk held his breath, the calmer Xia Jinyuan appeared. “Lieutenant Colonel Saluk, you actually suspect that we reduced our weight. Since you suspect us, why didn’t you just say it out loud?
“There’s an old Chinese saying, ‘A gentleman speaks frankly.’ Lieutenant Colonel Saluk, you’re an expert on all things China-related. I think you must have heard this saying before. As a soldier, why didn’t you just say it straight to our faces?
“Your words and actions made me, a soldier, feel ashamed.”
To be honest, no special forces soldier in the Xueyu unit was Xia Jinyuan’s match. Since Saluk found trouble with him, he couldn’t blame Xia Jinyuan for criticizing him.
Xia Jinyuan didn’t wait for Saluk, whose face was red from anger, to speak again. He clapped his hands and ordered the Chinese team members to gather. “The Chinese participants, gather!”
The second team was led by Li Jinnian. The other four were talking to the special forces soldiers from other countries and weren’t paying attention to what was going on on the other side. When they heard Xia Jinyuan asking them to gather, the four of them apologized to the special forces soldiers from other countries and immediately ran over.
When they came over, they learned about what had happened. Without a word, they immediately unloaded the things in their backpacks and placed them by their feet. Xia Jinyuan said to the referee, “Lieutenant Colonel Saluk suspects that we lightened our weight and are cheating. We wish to clarify. If we’re found to have cheated, we will withdraw from the Eka Assault competition and publish the news accordingly. We’ll be unworthy of participating in any large-scale international special forces competition.
“If our names are cleared, then I need to hear Lieutenant Colonel Saluk’s apology. His suspicion has severely damaged the image of our country’s soldiers. Such shameless thoughts are despicable to our soldiers!”
