"Commander, did you want to see me?"
Qin Jian stood up, hands clasped behind his back, and circled Zhao Dong twice before lifting his leg and kicking him squarely in the buttocks: "Can't you keep your mouth shut, lad?"
"What... what did I do?" Zhao Dong, still unaware that Lin Sheng had already spoken to Qin Jian, looked utterly confused, "Commander, why would you kick me for no reason?"
"For no reason? You dare say I kicked you for no reason? Stop pretending, don't I know you well? Can't you fix that big mouth of yours?" Qin Jian stood in front of him, staring him down.
"Commander, are you saying... I leaked secrets?" Zhao Dong realized belatedly, "Could it be that you were reprimanded at the division headquarters this morning because of this?"
"What else would it be? I got a severe scolding from the Commander!"
