Chapter 89: What If the Rules Are Unscrupulous?

In the following moment, people felt anxious. If they accepted the challenge, they were uncertain whether they could win against the Medical Department.
‘Could it be… Captain Lu brought up those conditions so that the other party will choose to retreat instead?’
‘In that way, maybe they could still protect the honor of the Logistics Department?’
The female soldiers from the Logistics Department harbored these thoughts. Even the female soldiers from the Medical Department interpreted those words in the same manner.
Similarly, Lin Haoran thought so too.
He fell silent for a moment and looked at the female soldiers on the opposite side. Other than Guo Rou who was excellent in all aspects, only his little sister, Lin Xiaoyu, was good at shooting.
He was the one who taught her after all.
As for the others, they looked a bit nervous.
Lin Haoran didn’t rush to answer. He turned around to face the female soldiers of the Medical Department and gently asked, “What does everyone think?”
“They are just forcing us to withdraw… We won’t lose!” one sharp-eyed soldier said.
“Yeah! Let’s do it! The bottom will always remain at the bottom!” Other people affirmed the same sentiments.
With a trace of satisfaction in his eyes, Lin Haoran turned around once more and responded apologetically to Lu Ye. “We agree to your challenge, but since you proposed the limitations, then we’ll decide how the compet.i.tion will be conducted.”
“What are the rules? I have to hear it first. What if the rules are too unscrupulous?” Lu Ye sneered.
Lin Haoran’s face remained calm. The two had competed too many times. Hence, they were very familiar with each other.
He soon nodded. “Okay, the rules will be like this. Both of us will separately select five female soldiers who will partic.i.p.ate in the one-on-one compet.i.tion. Each of these soldiers must shoot three times, and we’ll calculate the total score afterwards. If three female soldiers win from one side, then that side will be the final victor. This rule is very reasonable, right?”
Indeed, the rule laid out seemed reasonable.
However, the thing was, selecting five soldiers from the Medical Department would be effortless. As for the Logistics Department…
Even so, Lu Ye knew he couldn’t reject it.
His eyebrows made some minimal movements, but his expression had been defiant. “Okay, we’ll abide by these rules.”
Both sides began their preparation to choose five contestants.
Lu Ye walked over to the soldiers under the Logistics Department. They appeared as though they had a guilty conscience in front of him. Still, his expression remained n.o.ble even though his mouth twitched.
He asked, “Even if you didn’t get to practice the basic shooting steps a lot, all of you have already used guns. Who’s usually good at aiming?”
“Captain Lu, I’ll sign up!” Guo Rou, who felt like a brave heroine, clenched her fist in antic.i.p.ation.
Lu Ye nodded, “Alright, Comrade Guo Rou counts as one. What about the others?”
The soldiers looked amongst themselves.
No one raised their voice for a long time.
Everyone knew the basic steps for shooting and had a bit of practice. Nevertheless, their accuracy wasn’t something to brag about.
Seeing that no one volunteered, Guo Rou said immediately, “Xiaoyu, why don’t you sign up?”
Lin Xiaoyu bit her lips as she stood amidst the crowd.
She only planned to stay here for a year. As a consequence, she had no sense of belonging to this place.
It was her brother on the other side. She didn’t want to make him lose his face.
Lu Ye’s hawk-like eyes scanned over as he smiled. “Oh, Comrade Lin Xiaoyu?”
Everyone was well aware that Lin Xiaoyu was Lin Haoran’s sister.
Therefore, not only did she need to compete, but she also can’t afford to lose!
