Qi Yue pressed the timer, the result was 57 seconds, and there was no white spot on his body, proving that he was not hit.
Xiao Jing stood back in the queue, still with her signature humble smile on her face.
Lin Qi couldn’t help but give Xiao Jing a thumbs up, lowering his voice and saying, “Excellent, I guess even the instructor will look at you with new eyes.”
Xiao Jing held down his hand and grinned showing her big white teeth, while saying, “Keep a low profile, keep a low profile.”
Lin Qi smiled and walked out of the queue.
Lian Qing opened his eyes wide in disbelief. Could the little figure who was walking so freely and unrestrainedly as if he was not afraid of bullet attacks just now really be his own delicate Second Lieutenant Xiao?
Xiao Jing noticed someone was watching her and turned her head, and the two of them made eye contact.
Lian Qing couldn’t help but sniff, and suddenly he felt like his married child was finally able to hold her head high in her husband’s family.
Xiao Jing saw some very strange thoughts in his eyes. Based on her understanding of him, this guy’s thought process was generally different from that of ordinary people. At this time, he must be grateful that his daughter finally turned her life around by marrying far away.
Lian Qing stroked his chest with one hand and nodded with satisfaction.
Xiao Jing turned her head away and pretended not to see it, so as not to give him the chance to get excited just by thinking about it.
The sun was still shining brightly as an off-road vehicle quietly drove into the camp.
Inside the car, a man looked around, and after making sure that there were no other people around, he covered his face with one hand and ran into the building in a hurry.
Shen Chengfeng stared expressionlessly at Xiao Ye, who had come uninvited, and examined him from top to bottom, and finally cast his gaze unreservedly on his brilliant face.
Xiao Ye’s eyes were bruised, the corners of his mouth were cracked and swollen, and his entire face could be described as an abstract painting, with the kind of casual feeling that came from just smearing some dye on it.
Shen Chengfeng supported his chin with both hands and stared at Xiao Ye leisurely, staring at him so much that he began to turn his head away embarrassedly.
Xiao Ye snorted coldly, sat on the chair, and raised one leg high, looking like an old man who came to ask for money.
“Just say it if you have something to say.” Shen Chengfeng retracted his gaze and returned to his official duties.
Xiao Ye gritted his teeth and said coldly: “Don’t you feel a little guilty?”
Shen Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, glanced at him indifferently, and said in a normal, calm voice, “You should ask the person who beat you up this question.”
“Who is responsible for this situation?” Xiao Ye took a deep breath and tried his best to stay calm.
“Looking at the level of violence, it should have been the Third Young Master of the Xiao Family who beat you up.”
“No, it’s not him! It’s Xiao Hong, that smiling tiger Xiao Hong.”
“It’s hard to imagine that the always gentle and polite second son of the Xiao family would roll up his sleeves to fight.”
“He is a shameless and despicable villain who attacked me.” Xiao Ye covered the corner of his mouth. He forgot about his injuries in his excitement. He twisted his mouth and bared his teeth in pain.
Shen Chengfeng intertwined his fingers and said, “I can imagine how badly you were beaten, but General Xiao Hong seemed to have shown mercy, otherwise I think you should be in the hospital for emergency treatment now!”
“That’s enough. Stop making sarcastic remarks. You know exactly why I was beaten.” Xiao Ye roared.
Shen Chengfeng stared at him intently, as if telling him impliedly, I don’t know, what does it have to do with me, you asked for it when you got beaten.
Xiao Ye closed his eyes, slammed the table and stood up, “What on earth did you do to my fourth brother? Why did they all suddenly come to beat me up? Why do they think you did something bad and they have to beat me up?”
“Maybe they know they can’t beat me.” Shen Chengfeng said calmly, as if he was just talking about some casual conversation.
“…” Xiao Ye slammed his fist on the table, and under the light, the blue veins were prominently visible.
“Anything else?” Shen Chengfeng asked again.
Xiao Ye sat on the chair in a rage, his hands crossed over his chest and said coldly: “My second brother has issued a death order for me. Either I take Xiao Jing back today, or I go back lying down.”
“I can let you go out lying down.”
“…” Xiao Ye gritted his teeth, “Just lend me Xiao Jing for two days, and I will bring her back after two days.”
“When did my soldiers become toys that you, the Xiao family, can take away or send back whenever you want?”
“Don’t force me to be ruthless.”
“You personally introduced Xiao Jing to me. You told me over and over again how special she was. I also know how special she is. Now that I know, I have to study her carefully. Maybe she will be very important to me.”
Xiao Ye held his forehead with one hand. Why didn’t he expect that one day he would be beaten up by those guys in his family? This was originally a very small matter. Sending Xiao Jing, this popular girl, to Shen Chengfeng, as she was immune to him. Maybe the two of them would clash with each other while chatting. With Shen Chengfeng’s ability, even if her identity was exposed in the future, this guy would be able to protect her on his own.
But now she is safe, what about me?
He was so devoted to giving them advice that he was not hesitant in offending an entire family, but what happened to him in the end? Not only was he bruised and battered, but he was also suffering from mental torture all the time!
Shen Chengfeng closed the file, looked at Xiao Ye who seemed to be talking to himself, and said in a deep voice, “If General Xiao Ye has nothing else to do, please go back.”
“You are clearly destroying the bridge after crossing it.”
“Really?” Shen Chengfeng asked back.
Xiao Ye slammed the table and said, “I don’t care. I will take Xiao Jing back today no matter what.”
“Do you think you have the ability to take her away?” Shen Chengfeng looked at the other person dimly, took off his gloves, and picked up a piece of paper casually. In the blink of an eye, the originally flat A4 paper instantly turned into a pile of dust, and when the wind blew, not even a residue was left.
Xiao Ye frowned, “Are you threatening me?”
“Yes.” A concise reply.
Xiao Ye clenched his fists and stared without blinking at the man who was only separated from him by a table. In the silence, the murderous aura emanating from him became more and more intense.
Not wanting to be outdone, Shen Chengfeng also stared at him. The two of them stared into each other’s eyes, and throughout the room, you could hear a pin drop.
Xiao Ye closed his eyes, rubbing them with sore eyes, and snorted coldly: “I won’t bother with you, I’m going to find Xiao Jing.”
“She is in the training area now. There are at least forty or fifty people inside and outside. If General Xiao Ye of the Whale Wolf Team has been seen with such a wonderful face, I think with Jiang Xin of our Iron Eagle Special Forces’ big mouth, everyone in the army will know about it in less than two hours!” Shen Chengfeng said slowly.
Xiao Ye’s footsteps suddenly stopped, he glanced at the man who was making sarcastic remarks, and said, “I’ll go to the dormitory and wait.”
Shen Chengfeng did not stop him. Listening to the sound of the office door opening and closing, he closed his notebook, stood up and walked towards the door.
Xiao Ye felt something was wrong as soon as he walked out of the building. When had this Shen Wang ever thought about him?
In the training area, the entire situation was polarized.
On one side, there were the special forces elites who performed their duties smoothly and impeccably, and on the other side, there are the disheveled and dirty new recruits who died one after another.
Qi Yue held his forehead with one hand, wondering whether he should give them some slack. After all, he despised such results.
“Xiao Jing, step out.”
As soon as the words fell, everyone’s eyes turned to the place where the sound came from.
Shen Chengfeng was still wrapped in the thick military uniform, his whole body exuding a strong aura of indifference, which made most of the newcomers who came here to see him want to take a closer look, but they were conflicted and didn’t dare to.
When Xiao Jing heard him calling her name, she took a big step forward, stood up straight, and replied, “Yes, Captain.”
“Follow me.” Shen Chengfeng turned and left.
Xiao Jing followed closely behind, jogging all the way.
The two of them walked to the parking area one after the other.
“Get in the car.” Shen Chengfeng opened the driver’s door, uttered two words, and then sat in.
Xiao Jing didn’t understand what he meant by this action, but she didn’t think too much about it and sat down with confusion.
“Fasten your seat belt.” After saying that, Shen Chengfeng stepped on the accelerator and the car drove away.
In the car, Xiao Jing would secretly glance at the captain who was driving in silence from the corner of her eyes from time to time, wondering whether she should ask him where he was going to take her.
“Just say it if you have something to say.” Shen Chengfeng said.
Xiao Jing wrapped one hand around the safety belt and whispered, “Where are you taking me, Captain?”
“A place for you.”
Xiao Jing’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the captain couldn’t stand this kind of pressure and was going to throw her back to the Xiao family?
Shen Chengfeng put one hand on the steering wheel, glanced at the figure who suddenly fell silent, and said, “Last time you retreated in a panic, I thought that after these days of training, you would be able to complete this field training smoothly without my protection behind you.”
Hearing this, Xiao Jing’s heart slowly calmed down. As long as she was not thrown back to the Xiao family, she would dare to give it a try even if it was to go to the Flaming Mountain.
“There are daily supplies in the back of the car. Please check them carefully. You are on your own for the whole journey this time.”
“Yes, Captain.” Xiao Jing took the backpack from the back seat, which contained a knife, a gun, some food and a sleeping bag.
“This field training will last for three days. I will come to pick you up after three days. If you feel that you can’t hold on any longer, you can leave on your own. No one will stop you.”
“Yes, Captain.” Xiao Jing thought for a moment and deliberately lowered her voice. She then asked, “Captain, are you worried that I won’t perform well in the special operations team joint competition in a month, so you specially arranged these trainings for me?”
“Based on your performance last night, I think it is necessary to arrange for you to be alone in the next few days, so that you won’t sneak into my bed again!”
“…”
“Don’t think I don’t know, I stay sober more than anyone else at any time. You disappointed me last night.”
“…” Xiao Jing looked at the palm of her hand and bent her fingers involuntarily. She hesitated whether to use her sandbag-like fist to choose to die together with her captain.
Shen Chengfeng stepped on the brakes, looked at the lush forest in front of the car, and said leisurely, “Since I already know your identity, I have to choose to avoid suspicion.”
“I promise that I will not let anyone else know about this.” Xiao Jing raised three fingers solemnly. She originally wanted to swear an oath to prove her determination, but after thinking about it carefully, she still had to leave herself a way out.
Shen Chengfeng didn’t bother to pay attention to her unreliable words. He just pushed open the car door and stood at the entrance of the woods.
Xiao Jing walked down with the bag of supplies on her back. The sunlight shone all over her body, and she couldn’t help but tighten her backpack.
“If you disappoint me again this time, I will consider ending your special forces career early.”
“Captain–“
“In the competition next month, your opponents will not be these wild creatures with no strong attack power. They will be the best and strongest special warfare elites selected from all the troops. Each of them is a strong man who can fight against a hundred people. You want to stand out from the crowd with your ability. You’d better leave as soon as possible to avoid embarrassment.”
Xiao Jing straightened her body and replied in a strong voice, “Captain, I will definitely impress you.”
“When it comes to speaking ability, you are truly number one.”
A basin of cold water was poured over her. Xiao Jing couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth. Will praising me give you mouth sores?
Shen Chengfeng got back into the car, slammed the door shut, and said, “You can go into the mountain now.”
Xiao Jing watched the car turn around and disappear without a trace, picked up her backpack, and cautiously entered the Saibei Mountains, which was known as a natural hell.
The cold was particularly severe in the mountains, with sunlight sparsely filtering through the gaps between the trees. Xiao Jing stepped over the dry branches and walked slowly.
“Coo.” The birds flapped their wings and flew freely. A green snake made a rustling sound and crawled freely over the treetops.
Xiao Jing pushed aside the grass and just walked around a dead tree when she alertly discovered something attacking from behind her right. She remained calm and turned around. A black, strong, hostile wild boar was digging the soil with its hooves with a fierce look in its eyes.
“F**k you.” Xiao Jing hurriedly hugged a tree and climbed up using her hands and feet.
The wild boar banged its head against the tree trunk and let out a mournful roar.
Xiao Jing stared in disbelief at the group of wild boars weighing about 300 kilograms that it had called over.
One after another, they hit the trees. Xiao Jing felt her body moving downwards and she was about to lose control.
She was planning in her mind how to escape from the encirclement of these rude guys. The wild boars could run at a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour. With her thin arms and legs, it would be difficult for her to avoid their pursuit in groups. But if they attacked head-on, she might not need the captain to collect her body.
Haha, I’m so dead today.
“Boom.” The big tree shook violently.
Xiao Jing looked at these guys whose IQs were basically negative but were still unwilling to give up. She continued to climb up carefully and tried to grab a vine.
Although it was a very cold deep in the mountains and forests, Xiao Jing was forced to break out in a sweat.
Sweat rolled down her forehead. She grabbed the vine tightly, then kicked the tree trunk, using the force to fly into the sky.
“Hahaha, you stupid guys, come and chase me.”
The herd of wild boars were originally surrounding the trees, but when they saw the figure passing over their heads, they changed direction and continued to attack.
Xiao Jing jumped onto another tree and continued to use the power of the vines to fly higher and farther. Finally, with a thud, she fell into the stream.
The splashes of water hit her face, giving her a chill.
The herd of wild boars that were originally rushing forward suddenly stopped chasing, and each one stood still and dug the soil in fear. Finally, all the wild boars scattered.
Xiao Jing wiped the water droplets from her face, and suddenly she felt a chill on her back. She seemed to be very familiar with this place, as if she remembered that something would pop out a head from the water.
She twisted her neck stiffly, and the colorful sunlight fell on the water. The entire surface of the water looked like a piece of broken gold, and as the stream flowed, the golden light sparkled.
Xiao Jing swallowed her saliva. In the golden light, a head seemed to be looking at her beautiful face in an unfriendly manner.
“Gurgle, gurgle.” The crocodile poked its head out of the water, and dense bubbles began to appear on the surface of the water.
Xiao Jing’s body began to swim backwards involuntarily, and then again, and she tried her best to remain quiet.
“Gurgle gurgle.” The bubbles began to burst, and the next moment, the crocodile swung its tail with a swish.
Xiao Jing did not hesitate any longer. She turned around and rushed to the shore at the fastest speed she had ever swam in her life.
The crocodile spat bubbles at her, then shrank back quietly, as if it had not yet woken up.
Xiao Jing leaned against the shore with lingering fear, staring breathlessly at the big guy who just waved its tail. Why was it not enthusiastic about her at all?
Thinking back to the last time when it chased her before she even got into the water, it was as if it insisted on having a close contact with her.
What happened to this guy today? It was clearly like it saw a familiar old friend, but why did he just pop his head out and then hide again?
Xiao Jing smacked her lips. She realized that she had indeed become very powerful. She was so powerful that even crocodiles began to submit to her when they saw her.
She grinned and laughed arrogantly, “Hahaha.”
“Gurgle gurgle.” The crocodile popped its head out of the water again.
Xiao Jing quickly covered her mouth, took out the compressed biscuits from her backpack, and swallowed them twice. She noticed the thing in the stream spitting bubbles at her and threw a piece at it.
“Bang.” The biscuit hit the crocodile’s nose, its pupils shrank, and then it hid in the water.
