Chapter 2227: Chapter 2065: Ascending the Path (Part 5)
As dawn broke, the sound of vehicles and voices emanated from the camp.
It was Lin Feng who had arrived, and he immediately started arguing with the general who had detained Song Xiaodong.
"On what grounds did you arrest Mr. Song? Who gave you the authority?" Lin Feng launched an aggressive confrontation.
"I represent the ** Military Court. Song Xiaodong trespassed into a military restricted area, damaged camp facilities, and as a retired veteran, he falls under my jurisdiction!" the general retorted sharply to Lin Feng.
"Do you even know your rank? Do you know his rank? Do you think you’re at the highest military court? Huh? Do you think you’re qualified to arrest and try him?" Lin Feng couldn’t help but curse at the general detaining Song Xiaodong.
"He’s just a retired veteran, previously served in the ** squad, and his case should fall under my responsibility!" the general insisted.
"You bastard! Here’s a document from the top, take a look for yourself!" Lin Feng pulled a document from his military uniform pocket for the general to see.
The general took the document handed over by Lin Feng. After reading a few lines, his expression turned very grim, his hands began to tremble.
"Even if he smashed your camp, committed murder, arson, rape, and looting, you wouldn’t be in charge! Release him now!" Lin Feng pointed at the general’s nose and said.
The general glared venomously at General Lin Feng, looked at him for a long while, then suddenly his expression softened to squeeze out a smile like crying, and said to General Lin Feng: "I’m sorry, this matter was my mistake."
"Release him now!" Lin Feng had no patience for apologies and courtesies from the general.
"Bring Mr. Song." The general turned back and instructed the soldiers behind him.
Several people went to "invite" Song Xiaodong over.
Song Xiaodong, unscathed, came over, looked at General Lin Feng, and nodded.
"Mr. Song." Lin Feng tilted his head in a gesture of respect to Song Xiaodong.
"Mr. Song, this was truly a misunderstanding, and I apologize to you, Mr. Song." The general immediately apologized to Song Xiaodong.
"Don’t apologize. Apologizing so soon will affect the reader’s experience." Song Xiaodong coldly told the general.
"Mr. Song, I acted impulsively in this matter and solemnly apologize to Mr. Song." The general said to Song Xiaodong.
"General, I said, the first thing I’ll do upon my release is to have you dismissed." Song Xiaodong coldly told the general.
The general lowered his head in silence.
"Mr. Song, let’s go." Lin Feng invited Song Xiaodong to leave.
Song Xiaodong glanced at the general, then followed Lin Feng away in great stride.
In the car, Song Xiaodong asked Lin Feng, "Elder Lin, how did you manage to get me out?"
Lin Feng pulled out a document to show Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong took it and saw it was a disclaimer, stating that activities of the Dragon Gate fall under the highest military court’s jurisdiction, and neither the military district nor local authorities have jurisdiction.
It could be said to be a license to kill.
After all, the Dragon Gate had a cooperative relationship with the state, which granted Dragon Gate appropriate privileges; it wasn’t about killing without consequences but that a collective decision from the top echelons was needed, with no say from military districts or local authorities.
Song Xiaodong handed back the document to Elder Lin.
"Sect Leader, the document was with me since there was no sect leader before. Now with you, the sect leader, frequently being detained, it suits you to have this document." Lin Feng smiled and told Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong found it reasonable and smiled at Elder Lin, "Sorry to trouble Elder Lin for a midnight run."
"Hmph, Wang Gang and Wang Chao are truly senseless; it’s good for the Sect Leader to teach them a lesson." Lin Feng commented.
"I want this general dismissed." Song Xiaodong stated.
"Forget about dismissal. However, we can figure out a way to demote him, claiming illegal detention, using private punishment. A review, suspension for reflection, is doable. I’ll handle this matter." Lin Feng assured.
"Then I’ll trouble Elder Lin."
Indeed, Song Xiaodong returned to the Su Family by morning.
Song Xiaodong’s wives had either woken up early or hadn’t slept, all seated on the living room sofa in silence.
Lin Feng arranged a car to send Song Xiaodong back, who deliberately stopped at the gate of the Su Family Courtyard, allowing the camera at the gate to capture him.
"Xiaodong’s back!" Song Xiaoru saw Song Xiaodong at the Su Family Courtyard gate, smiling and waving at the camera.
"Really?"
"Truly back!"
Song Xiaoru, Sun Yiyi, Chu Xianling, Xiao Yingying, Li Sijie, Su Yuya, Sun Ziyun, Shui Qingyue, and Shui Qinghe rushed downstairs, while Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan carefully made their way down, following behind.
Song Xiaodong walked up smiling, and his wives, in a flurry, surrounded him in a joyful embrace.
"Alright, alright, alright! Let go, let go, I can’t breathe!" Song Xiaodong broke free from the crowd.
Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan then arrived downstairs.
"See, I told you I’d be back by morning." Song Xiaodong boasted to everyone.
"Still bragging. If you were truly capable, no one would dare capture you in the first place." Song Xiaoru complained to Song Xiaodong.

"This time indeed no one dares to arrest me. General Lin just gave me a Death-immunity Token." Song Xiaodong informed everyone.
"A Death-immunity Token, huh? For every token, there’s a Dragon Head Guillotine. If it could decapitate the emperor, what good is a Death-immunity Token?" Miao Qingqing grumbled.
"I’m sorry for alarming the ladies; it was my fault and I apologize to all of you!" Song Xiaodong bowed to everyone.
