Chapter 178
When the three chief instructors rushed outside, they spotted the first and second platoons brawling from a distance.
The chief instructor of the first platoon quickly asked the soldier who reported the situation, “What the heck happened?”
The soldier explained the situation in detail.
Turned out, Eileen from the second platoon suddenly became unusually agitated and attacked an old soldier from the first platoon.
She slapped him right in the face, completely disregarding his dignity.
The old soldier was taken aback. As a man, being slapped by a woman pisses him off, so he immediately grabbed Eileen by the collar.
However, Eileen gave him a swift judo throw.
The guy who got thrown on the ground was then stepped on by Eileen.
Of course, the soldiers of the first platoon didn’t just sit by; they all rushed over to help their comrade.
The soldiers of the second platoon also rushed to help Eileen.
In the end, it turned into a full-blown brawl.
Hearing all this, the three chief instructors were all feeling headache.
Egbert frowned, looking at the scene.
There, Eileen was leading a group of people with fiery anger, like a gang boss, throwing two soldiers of the first platoon on the ground again.
Just throwing them down wasn’t enough; she also stepped on their stomachs.
Eddie and Colin, like two bodyguards, also joined the attack by her side.
The chief instructor of the first platoon was now so angry, his face turned red!
He looked at Egbert and said, “Mr. Reed, you guys owe us an explanation!”
Egbert, with a stern face, walked towards them.
Eileen, in the middle of her exhilaration, grabbed a bruised old soldier, preparing to hit him in the eye.
Her arm was raised high, but suddenly she felt resistance and couldn’t hit him.
Eileen was stunned, turned around and saw Egbert, who had somehow appeared behind her, holding her arm with a serious face.
Seeing Egbert, Eileen lost her fighting spirit, like a mouse seeing a cat.
She was about to explain when the beaten old soldier took the opportunity to sneak attack Eileen.
Eileen was caught off guard. She sensed his sneak attack and instinctively turned her head to dodge.
Just then, Egbert made a slight move and grabbed the old soldier’s shoulder. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
The old soldier screamed in pain as his arm was dislocated instantly.
Eileen was a bit surprised.
“Mr. Reed!” Over there, the chief instructor of the first platoon was furious, and stormed over!
Egbert let go of the old soldier’s shoulder, pulled Eileen behind him for protection, and calmly said, “He started it.”
The chief instructor of the first platoon was furious!
He thought, “Do you think I’m blind!? It was clearly you guys who started it!”
The chief instructor of the first platoon was extremely dissatisfied.
Seeing the people around still making a ruckus, he yelled, “Everyone, stop!”
As a leader, he still had some authority.
The two fighting parties, in the midst of a fierce fight, immediately stopped.
Order was quickly restored on the scene.
People from the first platoon stood behind the chief instructor of the first platoon, while people from the second platoon stood behind Egbert.
At that time, the comments were very lively.
-[Don’t blame Eileen, it’s really not her fault this time.)
-[Yes, Eileen might not be likable, she speaks harshly, loves to cause trouble, is easily troublesome, sneaky, extreme, and deep-hearted, but this incident is actually not her fault.]
-[The friend above, aren’t you going too far in your words? You’ve said everything I wanted to say, what else can I say?]
The scene was briefly quiet.
But the atmosphere was still full of conflict between the two sides.
At this moment, a red-eyed female soldier from the second platoon came out, sobbing and saying, “Instructors, this incident happened because of me, I’m willing to take the punishment!”
This girl was in the same dormitory as Eileen.
Eileen was about to speak.
But Edna suddenly emerged from the crowd, her hair a mess, saying, “What does this have to do with you? It’s clearly him who bullied people!
Edna’s current appearance was really different from usual.
After becoming a soldier, although Edna couldn’t dress up or put on makeup, she still tried to keep herself clean. After all, she was an actress and needed to maintain a good image.
But now, her hair was messy from being pulled, and there were several footprints on her body.
Obviously, she also participated in the brawl just now.
Not only her, Patti and Jaqueline also participated.
Patti was similar to Edna, with her clothes and hair in a mess.
Jaqueline was injured. She was stepped on by someone and was limping, crying alone.
Eileen was usually indifferent to these three, but she had to admit that she admired them a little this time.
When the people of the second platoon were bullied, no matter how much internal conflict they had, they had to unite against the outside at critical moments.
That’s teamwork!
Egbert didn’t listen to what others said, he only looked at the female soldier who confessed, asking, “What happened?”
The female soldier pointed at the bruised old soldier from the first platoon whose arm was broken by Egbert.
She bit her lip and said, “I used to be his girlfriend, but we broke up. Today he came to harass me.”
The bruised old soldier immediately said, “I didn’t harass you. I wanted to explain to you. I said it was a misunderstanding before. I have no relationship with that nurse. You wouldn’t listen to my explanation!”
Eileen suddenly popped out from behind Egbert, swinging her fist at him, “Is this your way of explaining? You cornered her at the flower bed, if she didn’t listen to you, you wouldn’t let her go, and you even hugged her waist, trying to kiss her! You’re such a brute, if I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll bully female soldiers recklessly!”
Egbert pulled Eileen back and said sternly, “Enough.”
Eileen shouted, “He has a problem with how he treats relationships!”
Egbert frowned, looking at her somewhat displeased, “He has a problem with how he treats relationships, and you don’t have a problem with how you treat relationships? Do you have the right to solve relationship problems for others?”
Eileen was speechless.
Eileen didn’t understand why Egbert was blaming her.
She was clearly on the side of justice this time!
Egbert held Eileen’s hand and looked at the old soldier again, asking, “Did you force the female soldier?”
The old soldier lowered his head and didn’t say a word.
The chief instructor of the first platoon was so embarrassed that his face turned red.
He turned around and slapped the old soldier on the head, cursing fiercely, “You’re really something, daring to bully female soldiers!”
The old soldier didn’t dare to retort, silently took the hit.
At this point, the chief instructor of the third squad started to mediate, implying that it was all a misunderstanding and a bit of chit-chat could clear things up:
He suggested the injured guys get patched up at the medical room first. Some disciplinary action and punishment were coming up. He didn’t like fights and everyone would be penning down some “regret notes” later.
Due to the ruckus, the shooting competition had to be put on ice.
But it was just an internal camp game, the three chief instructors would work out the timing.
After the dust settled, Egbert turned to look at Eileen, noticing her hand had been scratched. He sighed, saying, “Let’s go.”
Eileen didn’t ask where, she just let him lead the way.
The medical room was swamped so Egbert took Eileen back to the Training Officer’s Office.
He pulled out a tube of antiseptic cream from a drawer, popped the cap off, sat next to Eleen and took her hand.
Pouting, Eileen said, “It’s not a big deal.”
Egbert didn’t reply, just lowered his head and carefully applied the cream.
It took him a while to finish.
While he was bandaging her hand, Eileen grumbled, “I started the fight, if anyone’s getting punished, I’m gonna get the worst of it, right?”
Egbert looked at her coldly, “Getting cold feet now?”
Eileen retorted angrily, “But if it happened again, I’d still punch him-Hust can’t stand him, I feel like he’s up to no good with that girl!”
Egbert dropped her hand and raised an eyebrow, “You’re so sure about that?”
Eileen said, “Of course I know, I’m smart!”
Egbert frowned, glaring at her with clear annoyance, “You seem to know a lot about other people’s business. So why don’t you get that I like you? Are you really clueless or just playing dumb?”
