A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1199

Wu Yang kept yelling.

Two soldiers standing next to him rushed forward and tried to pull Wang Dong-Sheng and Lin Qing-He apart to no avail. Wang Dong-Sheng appeared to have gone mad as he flung his fists at and thrusted his feet into Lin Qing-He wildly.

With the help of another two soldiers, they finally managed to pull Wang Dong-Sheng off Lin Qing-He.

Lin Qing-He was beyond recognition at that point.

His nose was broken and his face had swollen up. Blood flowed profusely from his injuries.

He needed help to stay on his feet.

Despite the state that he was in, Lin Qing-He continued hurling curses at Wang Dong-Sheng.

"You bastard! How dare you hit me! How dare you...!"

Wang Dong-Sheng gave Lin Qing-He another hard kick and sent him sprawling on the ground.

"That's enough! What are you trying to do, Wang Dong-Sheng? Lin Qing-He's the deputy commander of the Jiangdong military camp and you're just a colonel. How dare you attack him! Apologize to him immediately!" thundered Wu Yang.

"Apologize? Why should I apologize to him? Sir, you saw what he did when I tried to give you my words of advice. He interrupted me and then hit me without any reason or cause. I'm a hotblooded man and a soldier. I don't care if he's the deputy commander. I won't allow him to insult my honor," Wang Dong-Sheng shot back fiercely. It was clear that he had no intention of apologizing for what he had just done.

"Are you going to defy my orders too, Wang Dong-Sheng? Even if Lin Qing-He's done anything wrong, I'm the one who gets to punish him for it, not you! No matter what reasons you have, you shouldn't hit your superior. That puts you in the wrong. I order you to apologize to Lin Qing-He. I'll allow this matter to pass if you do. Or else, don't blame me for casting you out of the military like I did to the Green Dragon Force!" bellowed Wu Yang furiously.

The Green Dragon Force's insubordination had caused him great embarrassment and humiliation in front of his men.

Wang Dong-Sheng was doing the same and this time, Wu Yang wasn't going to relent. He was adamant to have Wang Dong-Sheng apologize to Lin Qing-He.

He did not expect Wang Dong-Sheng to yank his uniform off and throw it onto the ground.

"What...what is the meaning of this?" thundered Wu Yang as his wide eyes glared at Wang Dong-Sheng in shock and disbelief.

"Commander Wu, I planned to issue a formal resignation to you. It seems that there's no need for that now," said Wang Dong-Sheng.

A tremor coursed through Wu Yang's body when he heard what Wang Dong-Sheng had said. His eyes widened further in shock. "Are you going to resign from the Jiangdong military too? Have you thought this through, Wang Dong-Sheng? You're throwing decades of hard work down the drain! You won't receive any compensation or benefits from the military. Your name will be struck from our records forever!

You can still retract your statement. It's not too late yet."

Wu Yang tried to persuade the subordinate who had served him for decades against the folly of his decision.

Wang Dong-Sheng simply shook his head.

"You don't have to say another word. Life is short. I've had enough of suffering other people's tantrums. I know what I'm doing. Men like Lin Qing-He don't deserve my loyalty or devotion. It's to heroes like Instructor Chu whom I should be devoting my life and service to! Commander Wu, I bid you farewell. Please take care. I doubt our paths will cross again.”

The colonel's words were loud and clear in the quiet of the night.

He did not care for what Wu Yang had to say and instead, turned and left in pursuit of Ye Fan and the Green Dragon Force.
