Mayor Chen and Deputy Mayor Wang deeply shared the sentiment, with the latter saying to Chen Dazhi, "Let Li Chengdong bluster all he wants, his good days are over. He insulted a female soldier in active duty; not beating him and only dislocating his jaw was already his good luck. I think Comrade Lu Jiang could have become a commander-in-chief; he has a commanding presence without anger, and had it not been for considering military rules and the impact, he might have already made a move."
Chen Dazhi grunted in affirmation, "Then just keep him in custody, don't give him water to drink, and wait for the secretary to come back from the county to deal with him. Insulting a female soldier in active duty with foul language, if the common people knew about it, they would flay Li Chengdong's skin."
He was the commander of the militia camp, and he knew best how much the common people revered the military.
