Xiao Jing tried to imagine the scene at that time. As for why her body was in such pain, it was probably the result of the man in front of her suddenly rushing up and beating her up.

This third brother had always greeted her with fists, this third brother had always pulled her little ears, this third brother always threw her over his shoulder from time to time, this third brother always completely bullied her by force.

Looking at the tendons all over his body, Xiao Jing inexplicably began to feel pain in her body again. Even after being beaten so badly, she still didn’t forget to mend his feet again. He really was the living Yama of the camp.

“Your hand is almost useless.” Seeing that she was motionless, Xiao Zheng poured a glass of water, raised his legs on stilts, and said calmly.

Xiao Jing tried to lift her half-impaired arm, and asked bitterly: “Why did the third brother come here?”

“You think I came here to see you?” Xiao Zheng snorted coldly, “I came to chat with your captain.”

“…” Xiao Jing wanted to ask since you old man came to see him, Shen Chengfeng, why did you come here and sit with her if you have nothing to do? Still sitting so tight.

“Heal well.” Xiao Zheng stood up, took off his military cap, and took out a small blue and white porcelain bottle from the cap. His slender fingertips gently slid across the mouth of the bottle without making a sound.

Xiao Jing looked at the little blue and purple bottle under his fingertips, her eyes and face twitched, could it be that he also had something for her?

Xiao Zheng bent down, leaned close to Xiao Jing’s head, and said solemnly: “With your small stature, even if you are admitted to Tie Ying, you may be bullied in the future. A place like the camp is full of lonely people. These men have been alone for a long time, seeing your little skeleton, if they have any other thoughts about you, with this thing, a small grain can bring down an elephant.”

The corners of Xiao Jing’s mouth twitched slightly, she always felt that in Xiao Zheng’s eyes, there were particularly weird ideas in it.

Xiao Zheng patted her on the shoulder lightly, with a serious face, “I’ll go back first, you take care of your wounds, as for the rest of the matter, although our relationship was not very good since we were young, we are all members of the Xiao family after all. I will take care of it for you.”

Xiao Jing stared intently at the figure leaving the room, then her eyes fell on the small blue and white porcelain bottle lying quietly on the table. It seemed that her elder brothers who seemed to be ignorant of her were appearing too frequently on weekdays. What should she say? When did they start paying so much attention to her?

Could it be because she was selected into the special forces? And they were worried that she would lose the Xiao family’s reputation by being too embarrassing?

Xiao Jing raised her head and stared blankly at the ceiling. She felt that if she was sent back to the 525 regiment, she would definitely be kicked out by the Xiao family.

There had never been a precedent for members of the Xiao family to be deported.    

When he was at the door, a gust of cold wind was blowing in his face, and he boldly took a sneak glance at General Xiao Zheng, the third son of the Xiao family who was known for his cruelty and cold-bloodedness in the army.    

It was rumored that the Xiao family, Xiao Zheng, would break the opponent’s neck if they disagreed with each other. Even if it was a dignified leader, he only thought about the result when he fought. As for the process, he never cared about it. That was how he had developed into the highest level of SSS troops.    

In the military camp, it could be said that he was an all-powerful figure.

“Boom, boom, boom.” In the combat room, the knocking sound echoed in the room in an orderly manner.

Mu Xichi handed over the report and said in detail: “Although Xiao Jing was the last one to fail this time, judging from the overall results, he is indeed the worst. According to the rules, he will be announced to quit this time.”

Shen Chengfeng didn’t speak and looked at the so-called report card without blinking.

Mu Xichi looked at the sun outside the window, it was obviously the hottest time in summer, why did he feel a layer of fog and frost around him, and the temperature seemed to have dropped suddenly.

“Report, Lieutenant General Xiao Zheng, the commander of SSS123 of the Third Army, is visiting.” Outside the door, a guard knocked on the door.

Shen Chengfeng closed the file folder with one hand, raised his eyes, looked at the motionless figure of the man outside the gate, and waved to Mu Xichi who was beside him, “You go back first.” Now that this big man suddenly visits, I’m afraid it’s not for chatting, looking at his meticulous and serious appearance, it looks like he’s here to fight.    

Shen Chengfeng poured a glass of water, wiped the mouth of the glass with his fingertips, his tone did not fluctuate, calm as the warm water in the glass, without waves or traces, he said: “The Xiao family seems to attach great importance to this fourth young master Xiao.”

“Our Xiao family’s people, it’s not up to outsiders to bully them.” Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zheng kicked over the desk in front of Shen Chengfeng.    

There was a loud “bang”, and the entire desktop was broken into two pieces.    

“Sir Xiao thinks that my Tie Ying, is a place to raise idlers?”    

“General Shen is right, I don’t think Xiao Jing has the ability to stay in Tie Ying.”    

Shen Chengfeng’s eyes flickered. It landed on the opponent’s body, as if looking for something.    

Xiao Zheng continued: “A unit like Tie Ying is occupied by capable people. A physique like Xiao Jing should be eliminated in the first round.”

“Sir Xiao is right, he has indeed lost his qualification to stay in Tie Ying.” Shen Chengfeng said bluntly.

Xiao Zheng picked up a chair that had fallen on the ground with his feet, and straddled it, “It just so happens that my, Zhenghu, is also recruiting newcomers recently, since General Shen also thinks he is not suitable, please write a letter of dismissal, and I will take him to leave together.”

“Third Young Master Xiao should listen to what I have to say. Before the training, I think everyone thought Xiao Jing was not qualified, but after yesterday, I changed my mind. This person is not useless, so I plan to make an exception and let him join Tie Ying.”

“This doesn’t look like your style. The whole camp knows that Shen Chengfeng says one thing, rules are rules, and there is no place for exceptions.”

“Rules can be changed at any time. I am actually quite easy-going. If you have nothing else to do, Third Young Master Xiao, please go back. By the way, you kicked the table and broke it. Remember to report it to the military resources department later. If it is damaged, you will have to pay for it.”

Xiao Zheng kicked the chair away, then glaring angrily, “He, Xiao Jing, He De, how can he have that ability to get into your general Shen’s big eyes.”

“Yes, I have to thank General Xiao Ye for this matter, without his introduction, I don’t think I would have gotten to know such a special Fourth Young Master Xiao.”
