Qi Yue personally went forward to check the situation. Two bullets landed on the ground with almost no gaps. He was in a difficult position. How should he make a judgment on such a result?
"Dynamic sniping."
Shen Chengfeng broke the deadlock.
Qi Yue nodded, indicating the two soldiers beside him.
Xiao Jing closed her eyes, listening to the machine"s voice in the air. The moment her eyes opened, she shot two bullets in quick succession without hesitation.
The bullets landed on the target"s humanoid image. One in the middle and one in the chest, these were the best locations to die on the spot.
Hao Ji Yue frowned. The human-shaped target was moving very fast. It took her five seconds to move back and forth. In other words, she not only had to aim at a fixed point, but she also had to plan out the time interval between the two bullets.
This shooting program could also be considered an essential lesson for her team to focus on, especially before they decided to come to the Special Forces to communicate with each other. She strongly demanded that everyone practice by force, but her final results were a bit excessive.
This skill is not a skill that can be broken through by enhanced training, it is a project that requires daily experience to calibrate.
The more time she spent, the more she lost her sense of accuracy. In the end, her fingertips started to tremble uncontrollably.
This was a big taboo. Any sudden accidents on the battlefield would fail due to a bit of interference.
"Bang!"
Hao Ji Yue had fired a shot, but unfortunately, he had missed his target.
The bullet grazed the edge of the target and fell to the ground.
Hao Jianyue put down his sniper rifle and let out a sigh. "This is indeed a special squad. I underestimated my opponent."
Xiao Jing turned her head to glance in the direction of Shen Chengfeng. He seemed to be telepathically looking back at her. That look of hers was so tender and gentle.
Cheng Chen gently tugged at the corner of Jiang Xin"s s.h.i.+rt again. "Does this look like the result of sharing victory with my husband after defeating Little San?"
Jiang Xin glanced at him. "You"re the only one with so many tricks."
Cheng Chen raised an eyebrow, "I"m just speaking the truth."
"Hurry up and train."
Jiang Xin walked back to her training area.
Xiao Jing slowly walked towards the captain. Her eyes were filled with intention, but before she could say anything, a figure flashed by and pushed her away.
Lian Qing said solemnly: "I am currently a member of the Special Forces, and according to the rules, I should call you Company Leader, but … but even if you are my Leader, please respect me, I will not agree."
Xiao Jing was stunned. What did he mean by this?
Shen Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, "What would you agree to?"
Lian Qing mustered up his courage and a cold wind blew across his sorrowful body. He straightened his chest and said in a sonorous voice: "Although I am also handsome and das.h.i.+ng, I am a man of integrity. I will never compromise under your pressure. Please respect me."
Xiao Jing couldn"t help but laugh as she covered her mouth. She wanted to remind her former captain not to add such an exaggeration, saying these words would be too embarra.s.sing.
Lian Qing said in all seriousness, "I already have someone in my heart."
With that, Lian Qing prepared to fish up Xiao Jing.
When Xiao Jing saw that he intended to use her as a s.h.i.+eld, she secretly avoided his contact.
Lian Qing didn"t hesitate for a moment. With heroic spirit, he loudly said, "The one I like is Xiao Jing. His heart already belongs to me. We are already together."
The sound of a needle dropping in a huge training area could be heard.
"Crash."
The elites of the Special Forces, who couldn"t drop their weapons even with their weapons broken, fell to the ground with a loud crash. Each and every one of them turned pale with fright as they stared at the man who seemed to be able to swallow mountains and rivers, some of them gulping.
This first day of enlistment was likely to cause a bloodbath.
Jiang Temple didn"t understand why everyone suddenly tensed up. He frowned and followed the direction they were looking at without blinking.
Ye Chen originally didn"t want to interfere with other people"s personal matters, but seeing how everyone was enjoying the show, if he was cold enough, wouldn"t he be excluded?
Thus, everyone threw their eyeb.a.l.l.s onto the unmoving team leader.
Shen Chengfeng"s facial expression was emotionless, so calm that it made one"s heart palpitate.
Lian Qing felt the strong mental pressure, he covered his mouth and coughed, "Don"t stare at me like that, what I said is true. Even if you have a little bit of intention towards me, please take back your mind. The relations.h.i.+p between me and Xiao Jing is already deeply rooted, no one can separate us."
Xiao Jing pulled his hand away and took a deep breath, trying to tell him the consequences of his bulls.h.i.+t in a calm tone. But after thinking about it carefully, with the brain circuits of the captain, she was afraid that if she was a little more tactful, it would be the opposite.
Lian Qing stubbornly grabbed Xiao Jing"s hand and urgently placed her head on his head. He even moved close to Shen Chengfeng and pointed at their faces and announced, "Xiao Jing, you are my heart, you are my liver, you are my favorite gun bullets."
"Baji," Lian Qing directly kissed Xiao Jing"s forehead.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Everyone took a step back, then looked at each other in dismay. In a split-second, they all rushed forward like a flood that had broken through a dam.
When Jiang s.h.i.+ saw that everyone had dispersed in a wave, he didn"t know what to do. He asked, "Why are you guys running?"
"I don"t want to get caught up in this."
Cheng Chen held his hand and sped up.
Lian Qing cast a sidelong glance at the group of people who seemed like they would scatter at any moment. He couldn"t help but wrinkle his brows. What should he do?
Should I run with him?
Shen Chengfeng blinked and his eyes were as calm as ever. He did not seem to care too much about what Lian Qing said. The calmness he displayed made people"s hair stand on end.
Xiao Jing wiped her own forehead. She stared at Lian Qing with a face full of disdain and pulled him back. She solemnly said, "Company Leader, you will be beaten to death like this."
Lian Qing leaned against Xiao Jing"s ear and whispered, "Can you just help your adorable ex-captain?"
"I"m afraid I"ll be able to help you. You won"t even have bones left."
Xiao Jing took two steps back and moved closer to Shen Chengfeng.
Lian Qing subconsciously wanted to go get him again.
Shen Chengfeng was the first to pull Xiao Jing behind him. He then took a step forward and stared at the hand that Lian Qing did not have the time to retract.
Just like that, Lian Qing"s right hand was rigidly parked there.
"It looks like I need to report back to the higher-ups about the unfortunate news of our Special Forces recruits."
Shen Chengfeng raised his hand and his gaze fell on his palm.
The corner of Lian Qing"s mouth twitched, "Captain, you don"t need to love to destroy him, but I can still think about it. Although Xiao Jing and I are a match made in heaven, but I think you are so dignified, I can consider it again."
"Think about what?"
Even when considering the pros and cons, if he resisted, he would die. If he didn"t resist, he would still die. If he failed, he would die. Thus, he would die a bit more gloriously.
Before Xiao Jing could react, she saw her former captain lying down on the ground, his body upright. He tightly closed his eyes, as if he was holding a hero"s hand, and spoke with a heartbroken tone.
Lian Qing said: "Come on, I"m ready. Do anything you want to me?"
"Face it to face with me, no need to be courteous."
Xiao Jing touched her forehead with one hand. How did she end up with such an imbecile captain? How in the world did he manage to live until twenty-seven years old?
Shen Chengfeng did not pay attention to Lian Qing who was lying motionless on the ground. He raised his hand to hold Xiao Jing"s face and repeatedly wiped her forehead.
Xiao Jing"s beautiful eyebrows slightly knitted. "Captain, you don"t really intend to —"
"What do you think I need to do to get out of this?"
Shen Chengfeng interrupted her.
Xiao Jing"s throat was tight. Based on her understanding of the team captain, today, the captain of the company was probably going to leave the Iron Eagle Squadron horizontally.
Shen Chengfeng stared coldly at Lian Qing, who looked like a corpse, and said, "Recently, the morale of the Iron Hawks has been low. Actually, this is pretty good as well. Everyone, relax a little."
Xiao Jing stared blankly, not understanding the meaning behind his words.
Shen Chengfeng stroked her cheek and pursed his lips into a smile, "With Lian Qing here, you will forget about those things."
Xiao Jing"s heart was slightly moved, and the expression in her eyes flickered. She silently looked at him, as if her captain"s figure had suddenly become a lot taller.
Shen Chengfeng lifted her chin and placed a dragonfly kiss on her lips, "I just want to explain to him that you are my man."
Xiao Jing couldn"t help but blush as she nodded, "Yes, captain."
Shen Chengfeng rubbed her lips and murmured, "I"m going to the military."
"Yes."
Xiao Jing looked at his departing figure. She didn"t know why, but she couldn"t help but feel tempted just by the sight of her captain"s imposing figure. She really wanted to hug him and raise him high in the air.
Lian Qing stared at Xiao Jing in astonishment. He blinked his eyes as if he was stunned. What did he just see?
He seemed to see Third Master Shen hug his own Captain Xiao and then kiss him on the mouth!
Lian Qing staggered up from the ground. He pointed at the shy Xiao Jing and stuck it in his throat.
Xiao Jing covered her mouth and coughed lightly. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lian Qing pointed at him, then pointed at Shen Chengfeng, who had long disappeared, organizing his words. However, he spoke incoherently, "We, what is going on?"
"You"re not with me, are you? Why are you with him? He doesn"t like —"
"Yes, you are not wrong, Captain and I are the perfect match."
Xiao Jing proudly straightened her back.
The corner of Lian Qing"s mouth was twitching. He tried to calm down his facial features that looked like a stroke, but he couldn"t recover no matter how hard he tried.
Relax, although those words you said just now are likely to be silenced by the captain, but better to live on than to die alive. Be brave, the captain won"t openly do anything to you. Of course, he is a gentleman, so he won"t secretly do anything to you.
"We have to trust the captain"s character."
Lian Qing opened his hand that he wanted to touch and said through clenched teeth: "Why didn"t you remind me just now?"
"Do you have a chance to speak for me?"
Do you know your glib tongue-talker, you have a chance to stop your endless stream of self-talk? "
Lian Qing sat on the ground, "Captain Xiao, you have to protect me."
"En, I will do my best to protect you."
Lian Qing hugged her waist and burst into tears. "Why is he such a man?"
"I was clearly prepared to accept him, but why did he suddenly poach me from the corner of my wall? Not only did he give me a knife, he even stabbed me twice."
"Captain Xiao, can this be considered as losing love?"
Xiao Jing silently pushed him away, and walked towards her dorm without looking back.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!
The gate of the camp opened slowly.
When Xiao Jing pa.s.sed by the sports field, she subconsciously looked in that direction.
Lian Qing caught up. Before he could say anything, he saw the car parked in front of them.
The officer opened the door, stepped aside, and saluted.
A pair of s.h.i.+ny leather shoes entered his line of sight. A man dressed in a dark Chinese tunic slowly appeared. On his shoulder was a badge symbolizing his ident.i.ty. His chiseled face was meticulous as he stood tall and straight with slightly raised brows.
"Sir."
Lian Qing came back to his senses and hastily stood in the military posture.
Xiao Jing suddenly woke up and respectfully stood up.
Xiao Yao nodded, "Come with me."
Xiao Jing lowered her eyes and silently followed.
In the camp, all the willow trees had fallen and stood bare-headed in the cold wind.
When the breeze pa.s.sed, it rolled up a thin layer of sand.
Xiao Yao stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant mountain range. He spoke with a strong voice, "Are you used to it?"
Xiao Jing"s gaze was somewhat erratic. She sneaked a peek at her father, who was only two meters away from her. That natural aura was like an invisible barrier that prevented her from moving forward.
Xiao Yao didn"t hear the reply. He turned around and his gaze fell on her frail body.
Xiao Jing suddenly straightened her back and said, "Yes, sir."
"I thought you wouldn"t get used to special forces. After all, not everyone can take the training here."
"I will work hard."
"Your brother has mentioned your proposal to me more than once to transfer you to the Iron Eagle. I have considered it carefully, but I think you should respect yourself for this kind of thing."
"Yes, sir."
"Do you want to stay here?"
"Yes, sir."
Xiao Yao"s brows creased together, "When there are no outsiders in the clan, you don"t have to call me sir. Besides being your leader, I"m also your father."
Xiao Jing timidly lowered her head. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn"t call out her father. It was as if there was a layer of glue stuck to her throat.
"Alright, don"t force yourself."
Xiao Yao didn"t force him. He stepped forward and walked in front of her before continuing, "Let"s make a trip home the day after tomorrow. After all, this is the Xiao family"s banquet. As a child of the Xiao family, you should return."
Hearing this, Xiao Jing didn"t hesitate to raise her head and stare at her father. Her mind was constantly paralyzing herself, refusing, mustering up the courage to refuse. But when the voice came out of her mouth, it was as if she was blurting out a natural phrase, "Okay."
Xiao Yao seemed to be very satisfied with her reply. With a gentle smile, he said, "I will send someone to notify your mother."
"Yes."
"Although this is a family feast, it can also be considered a yearly feast for the Xiao family. The comrades that come and go with us all come over to celebrate." Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment before saying: "The Shen family is also here."
Was Father reminding himself of something?
Seeing that her expression did not change, Xiao Yao continued, "Shen Chengfeng doesn"t know if he will partic.i.p.ate?"
But I know him well enough to know that he wouldn"t go to a banquet like this. "
"As for the captain, I"m not sure. Do you need an invitation?"
Xiao Jing carefully probed.
Xiao Yao shook his head, "This matter is entirely on our own free will. If you say those words, it would seem that our Xiao family is purposefully making things difficult for him."
"Yes."
"Alright, I"ve said too much today. You go train."
Xiao Jing stood up straight, saluted, and then left with a jogging.
Xiao Yao"s eyes were focused on the gradually disappearing back. His cautious appearance was really the same as before.
"Sir, are you going back now?"
the adjutant asked.
Xiao Yao waved his hand. "No rush, just wait a little longer."
He knew the personality of his superior. Previously, when the fourth young master was in the 525th team, he seemed to go up to sit every month. He sat there for the whole day, but ever since Tie Ying came, his superior had never appeared again.
"Do you think I treated them too harshly?"
After a while, Xiao Yao spoke with a hoa.r.s.e voice.
Without thinking, the adjutant said bluntly, "You did not."
"But I have a guilty conscience. This child has lived a humble life since he was young. After all, he is my child. How could I have been so heartless to abandon him at Cang Shan?"
"This is the command of the Imperial Concubine."
"I"m a marshal after all, even my own children —"
"You are also the wife"s child."
Xiao Yao laughed mockingly to himself, "In the end, I still defeated them."
"Madame will not blame you."
the adjutant said again.
Xiao Yao shook his head. "You"re not me. You don"t understand. You"re not them. You don"t understand either."
"I only know that you are in a difficult position."
"On one side is my mother, and on the other is my wife and son. I"ve betrayed them for more than twenty years for that false pride. Whatever you say now is wrong after all."
"You"re thinking too much. You love Fourth Young Master."
"What are you doing now? Whatever you say, your fear of the Xiao family has already been deeply rooted in their hearts. However, I was wrong. It was all thanks to me, Xiao Yao, being calm for the rest of my life. I"ve finally lost."
The lieutenant was silent.
"Do you think I would feel less guilty if I were to treat her better?"
"Sir —"
"Shen Chengfeng is not bad, but he has a short lifespan."
Overstatement -
Today was still the third time, it was still the third time.
