If it weren’t for the sound of molten iron dripping, some people would probably mistakenly think that these people were wax figures that were frozen in time.
Xiao Hong narrowed his eyes, and the expression in his eyes flickered. He had to calculate what would happen if he used forceful means.
Based on his understanding of Shen Chengfeng, it was impossible for him to get so angry over a small soldier unless this small soldier was of use to him.
He secretly took Xiao Jing’s blood sample, presumably because he knew that Xiao Jing was immune to his body. His actions now were nothing more than preparing to use Xiao Jing for experiments!
Do an experiment!
Using his only princess as an experiment!
Xiao Hong took out his pistol expressionlessly and fired two shots at Shen Chengfeng without hesitation.
“Bang, bang.” The bullet rushed out like a python breaking out of its shell with its poisonous tongue and rushed towards Shen Chengfeng.
“Bang.” The bullet hit the wall, raising limestone all over the sky.
“General Xiao Hong, are you planning to take Xiao Jing away by force?” Shen Chengfeng dodged the opponent’s shooting without leaving a trace, as if he had already anticipated his next move.
Xiao Hong did not respond to Shen Chengfeng’s question, reloaded the gun and continued shooting.
In the huge square, soldiers from both sides took out their guns one by one and shot at each other without any cover. To outsiders, it might look like a boring drill.
But only those present knew that all the guns were real guns and all the bullets were real bullets, which would definitely cause skin and flesh to be torn apart if they hit the body.
Shen Chengfeng acted quickly, supported himself with one arm over the car body, and jumped high into the air. He was not afraid at all of Xiao Hong’s determination to fire several shots in succession and rushed to the opponent’s eyes like a gust of wind.
Xiao Hong was the vice-president of the Military Affairs Council. Although he was also a general who led troops to fight, his lethality was undoubtedly inferior to the special forces elites who walked on the edge of a knife every day. Just as he was about to defend himself, a fist hit him hard in the heart.
As soon as Shen Chengfeng’s hand touched Xiao Hong’s clothes, they were torn apart instantly. After severe corrosion, a deep fist mark was left behind.
Xiao Hong staggered a step, frowned, and looked at his military uniform. There was a burn mark on his chest from a punch. He glared, “Captain Shen is really amazing.”
“How can it compare to General Xiao Hong who drew his gun and showed it to the public when he disagreed with something.”
“It seems that Captain Shen will not cooperate with our investigation casually today.”
“General Xiao Hong must know the rules of the special forces team better than I do. Although our special forces team must cooperate with the review, we must have formal procedures and even written evidence. Before the procedures are complete, we can postpone the review. What’s more, you are just a deputy director!”
“What do you mean by that?”
“A higher rank can crush a person to death. General Xiao Hong, do I need to say this clearly?”
Xiao Hong’s eyes were sharp. “I will not let this matter go today. I must take Xiao Jing away. Do you need me to explain clearly why Captain Shen has kept her here?”
Shen Chengfeng glanced at Xiao Jing who had been rescued, and said coldly: “General Xiao Hong, you can say whatever you want to say. As for whether to listen or not, it is up to me.”
Xiao Hong knew the capabilities of the Iron Eagle Special Forces. Although the twenty people he brought with him were all top experts in the army, they were just a group of rookies in front of the well-trained special forces and were subdued without any effort.
He looked at his own people who were being suppressed and involuntarily clenched his fists. It seemed necessary to ask his eldest brother to step in.
“After all, he is a general-level figure. In order to prevent me from being accused of bullying the weak with my numbers, how about I have a duel with General Xiao Hong? If I lose, Xiao Jing will be with you, but if you lose——”
“Do you think this duel is comparable? Everyone knows that General Shen Chengfeng is the living devil in the army, and he is one of the best in fighting with firearms. I don’t want to compete with you for the sake of grandstanding. I would like to advise Captain Shen that if you offend my Xiao family, your Iron Eagle Special Forces will never be peaceful again.”
Shen Chengfeng took off his coat without saying a word, revealing the horrifying wound on his right arm.
He said, “How about I give you a hand?”
“…” The veins on Xiao Hong’s fist became more prominent. Regardless of whether he won or not, if he really challenged Shen Chengfeng in a duel today, he would probably be known as a bully.
However, he glanced at Xiao Si who was protected by Iron Eagle’s group of rough men, frowned, and said firmly: “Okay, I will challenge you in a one-on-one duel. If Captain Shen loses, I must take Xiao Jing away today.”
“If General Xiao Hong loses, you will not be able to step into the Iron Eagle Special Forces casually for as long as Xiao Jing is in the team.”
“…” Xiao Jing’s mouth twitched slightly. Why should he use her as a bet?
Jiang Xin gently tugged at Mu Xichi’s towel and whispered, “I always feel that the captain’s behavior today is a little weird.”
Mu Xichi glanced at him with resentment in his eyes, “The last time you were taken for questioning, did the captain even say a word of no?”
Jiang Xin had tears in her eyes, and looked aggrieved, like a resentful baby with emotions.
Cheng Chen patted his shoulder gently. “I still remember the first time I came to the special forces team, there was a small accident during the mission, and the higher-ups sent people to investigate. Not only did the captain not stop it, he also kept saying that he should be put in solitary confinement for a few more days. He needs to be taught a lesson.”
“The captain treated us and Little Eighteen this differently, doesn’t his conscience hurt?” Mu Xichi glared at the culprit and seeing that he had no expression on his face, he couldn’t help but want to hit him on the head with a hammer.
Xiao Jing felt a strong and powerful eye attack from behind her, so she turned around, and sure enough, she met Mu Xichi’s eyes, which were staring straight and white at her. From his unwilling look, it seemed as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Everyone around him was wearing intact clothes, except him, who was wearing a bath towel hanging in the cold wind, and the towel seemed to be shaky and could fall off at any time.
Xiao Jing looked away awkwardly, wondering whether she should remind Major Mu to go back and put on his pants first?
Xiao Hong put down his pistol and saw Shen Chengfeng, who had put on gloves and was ready to compete with him fairly. If he had not been injured, his chance of winning would have been only 30%. However, now that his right hand was injured, it should be slightly affected, and his chance of winning would be at least 50%.
Shen Chengfeng put on his gloves and said slowly, “General Xiao Hong must feel that he has won the game, right?”
Xiao Hong ignored his questions and observed his every move with a serious look, looking for the right time to strike.
“What a pity! Even if I only have one hand, you will not be my opponent.” Before he finished speaking, Shen Chengfeng took a big step forward, and his feet seemed to have turned on the drift setting, and he appeared in front of Xiao Hong in almost the blink of an eye.
Xiao Hong reacted quickly to avoid the opponent’s fist that was breaking through the air, but before he could stand firmly, he suddenly lost his balance.
Shen Chengfeng kicked back with a sweeping kick that landed directly on Xiao Hong’s calf. Seeing that his body was shaking, he did not hesitate to give him a high spinning kick.
Xiao Hong was kicked to the ground. Almost the moment his body hit the ground, he stood up and punched down.
Shen Chengfeng also swung his fist, and the two fists touched each other at close range. Both arms seemed to resonate and trembled slightly.
Xiao Hong’s arm felt numb, but he was glad that he had two hands. He raised his other hand and subconsciously attacked Shen Chengfeng’s injured right arm.
Shen Chengfeng expected that he would attack his wound, so he went straight forward without worrying about the risk of being hit.
Xiao Hong’s fist hit the hidden wound hard. He thought his sneak attack was successful, but he didn’t expect that just after he threw a punch, a leg kicked him hard in the stomach.
Shen Chengfeng backhandedly grabbed Xiao Hong’s neck, leaned his body forward several degrees, raised his leg to hit him with his knee and then raised his elbow to hit him on the back. He did it in one smooth move. While Xiao Hong had no reaction, he wrapped his left fingertips around his neck and pressed him to the ground.
“Cough, cough, cough.” Xiao Hong lay on the ground with his back facing up. Before he could come to his senses, a shadow appeared in front of his eyes.
Shen Chengfeng looked down at Xiao Hong who was panting, raised his foot and crushed Xiao Hong’s fair and clean face with the sole of his foot.
“…” Xiao Jing closed her eyes instinctively, unable to bear to witness this bloody scene.
All the soldiers stared in astonishment, and there was even the sound of weapons falling to the ground.
“You lose.” Shen Chengfeng took a few steps back, looked at the motionless figure lying on the ground, and uttered three words leisurely.
Xiao Hong’s hands gradually bent, and finally clenched into fists. His chest heaved violently, and anyone could see that the arrogant second son of the Xiao family was angry.
“Take your general away.” Shen Chengfeng shouted to the group of stunned soldiers behind him.
A group of people came to their senses and hurriedly ran forward to help up the motionless Xiao Hong.
“General.” Someone called softly.
Xiao Hong gritted his teeth, ignored the shoe print on his face, stared at Shen Chengfeng, and said through gritted teeth: “I won’t give up.”
“Just accept defeat.” Shen Chengfeng replied.
“Let’s go.” Xiao Hong casually wiped the shoe prints off his face. Just as he opened the car door, a small figure suddenly jumped in front of him.
Xiao Jing carefully handed over the tissue and whispered, “Second brother, this is for you.”
Xiao Hong looked at her without moving.
Xiao Jing bit her lip, raised her hand to wipe the dirt off his face, and said timidly, “Second brother, I don’t know what crime I committed that made you come to arrest me with such a large force, but I really don’t want to leave here.”
Xiao Hong stared at her with a sharp gaze, “Do you know what Shen Chengfeng wants to do to you?”
Xiao Jing shook her head, “What can he do to me?”
Xiao Hong wanted to say something but stopped himself, his hands tightly gripping the car door, obviously trying to suppress some violent emotions.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Jing was even more afraid to look him in the eye. She lowered her head, looked at his shadow, and said, “Although the captain is strict, he treats me well.”
“He has a purpose. Do you know that he does it secretly, secretly–” Xiao Hong sighed.
“What happened secretly?”
Xiao Hong took the tissue from her hand and wiped his face roughly, then crumpled it into a ball. He then said, “There are some things I can’t say, but Xiao Si, Second Brother doesn’t want you to stay here any longer. It’s too dangerous.”
“Why do you all say that?” Xiao Jing bravely looked into Xiao Hong’s eyes, more serious than ever before.
Xiao Hong’s eyes were sharp, and he said, “His purpose is not pure.”
“But he is the only one who made me see the glory!”
“…” Xiao Hong was silent. This small body had been malnourished since childhood. She always hid behind her mother timidly. Even every time they met, she just sat aside and said nothing because of her guilty conscience. He didn’t know if it was their deliberate pretended “indifference” over the years that made her feel fearful. If they had known that it would become like this, they should have pierced through the paper earlier.
Perhaps, then the fourth lady of the Xiao family, the only daughter of the Xiao family, would not fight so hard for that unnecessary glory, get hurt, and put herself in a difficult position again and again.
“Second brother knows.” Xiao Hong softened his tone and raised his hand to stroke her head. “Since you like me, stay here. But second brother is telling you to stay away from Shen Chengfeng. You are useful to him.”
“Brother, I am an adult. I know how to distinguish right from wrong.”
Xiao Hong hesitated to speak. He wanted to say, if you really knew how to distinguish right from wrong, why would you be so foolish as to collude with your mother to deceive your family? If you knew how to distinguish right from wrong, how could you not see that everyone loved and cared for you?
What should I do? My little sister is so cute, it seems like I should pinch her little face.
Xiao Hong put down his hands, turned his back to those big watery eyes, and looked around at the group of rough men in the Iron Eagle Team, especially Shen Chengfeng. Did they have problems with their eyes, or had they never had contact with women?
The farce in the camp gradually died down, and the entire dormitory building returned to silence.
Xiao Jing stood there, accepting the eye attack from her leader.
However, the increasingly strong smell of blood in the air startled her suddenly, and she remembered the punch her second brother had given her when he was determined to die together with her.
Although Xiao Hong had been carrying out missions in the Military Affairs Academy for these years, he was also considered an elite master. A punch he used full strength on would have left a normal person with bruises for two days, not to mention the wound that was already bloody.
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Shen Chengfeng said in a hoarse voice, looking at the intentional gaze, and broke the silence.
Xiao Jing pointed at his arm and said, “Captain, do you want to deal with it?”
Shen Chengfeng looked at his hands indifferently, “Tell me, how should I deal with this?”
Xiao Jing thought for a moment and said carefully: “Infirmary?”
Shen Chengfeng turned and left, heading towards the cafeteria.
Xiao Jing followed him closely and said, “Captain, aren’t you going to the infirmary?”
“Eat.” Shen Chengfeng uttered two words concisely.
Xiao Jing hurriedly asked, “Since you’re injured like this, shouldn’t you stop the bleeding first?”
Shen Chengfeng stopped and looked at his bloodstained gloves. He seemed to feel no pain and said calmly, “How do you think of helping me stop the bleeding?”
Xiao Jing scratched the back of her head, “Just let it flow like this?”
Shen Chengfeng ignored Xiao Jing’s question and went straight into the cafeteria. He got a meal, walked to his seat, and then pushed it in front of Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing was overjoyed. Did the captain know that she was hungry and wanted to eat?
“My right hand is injured. As punishment for your mistake, you will be responsible for my food, clothing, housing and transportation for the next two days.” After saying that, Shen Chengfeng opened his mouth naturally.
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, pointed at the plate in front of her, then pointed at his mouth, and asked in surprise: “Me?”
Shen Chengfeng stared at him without saying a word.
Xiao Jing awkwardly picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of rice, then put it into Shen Chengfeng’s mouth with a helpless smile. Seeing him swallow it with peace of mind, she suddenly wanted to avenge her second brother and stab him to death with the spoon.
“Meat.” Shen Chengfeng glanced at the delicious-looking braised pork on the plate and said slowly.
Xiao Jing picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, muttering softly: “I’m hungry too.”
“Your second brother hurt me like this, do you still have a conscience to eat?”
“…”
“Green vegetables.”
Xiao Jing tightly grasped the chopsticks, picked up the green vegetables and put them into his mouth, saying, “Captain, you beat my second brother like that, and you didn’t forget to step on him, and in front of all the soldiers, aren’t you afraid that I will poison you to death for the honor of the Xiao family?”
“So, you wanted to go with your second brother?” Shen Chengfeng asked instead of answering.
Xiao Jia paused her actions and shook her head hastily, “I was just kidding, Captain, you eat. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I will serve you to your satisfaction. Do you want some fruit? Come on, open your mouth.”
Shen Chengfeng glared at her, “Speak human language.”
“Captain, can I have a piece of meat first?” Xiao Jing stirred the only piece of meat left on the plate.
Shen Chengfeng picked up the fork and picked up the last piece of meat, then handed it to Xiao Jing, but it suddenly turned back when it was only one centimeter away from his mouth and went directly into his own mouth.
“…”
Shen Chengfeng took a tissue and wiped his mouth, then said seriously, “I’m injured like this, and you’re still thinking about my flesh. Do you still have a conscience?”
“…” Xiao Jing watched him swallow all the meat. Before she could complain, a plate was placed in front of her.
Lin Qi smiled, “You haven’t eaten yet, I just prepared it for you, come and eat it.”
Xiao Jing looked up.
Shen Chengfeng looked up.
Two pairs of eyes fell on Lin Qi at the same time.
Lin Qi paused and looked behind him.
As always, Shen Chengfeng stared at the smiling Lin Qi with his almost paralyzed face expressionlessly. But the air around them gradually solidified, as if it had frozen.
