Just as Su Ru’s thoughts began to drift, Shen Lingxi, walking beside her, called out to her.
"Rest assured, it won’t just end ."
Shen Lingxi whispered to Su Ru.
Su Ru was momentarily stunned, then took a deep breath and smiled at Shen Lingxi, nodding.
Su Ru, oh Su Ru, it doesn’t matter whether Shen Lingxi is Commander Shen’s daughter or why she is participating in the selection. What’s important is passing this selection.
You can’t start doubting her just because of the emergency measures she took in a critical moment...
Is the friendship between you so fragile in your heart?
After reflecting on herself, Su Ru quickly adjusted, regained her spirits, trusting that Shen Lingxi had a plan, and believing that Shen Lingxi wouldn’t easily abandon her.
Captain Zheng led twelve new recruits to the nearest base. The order from above was to capture them until the selection was over.
At noon, twelve new recruits were tied up and guarded in a military base not far from the top of Luoheng Mountain.
Captain Zheng stood outside the base, his trusted soldier immediately noticed his distressed look and came over to silently express his concern,
"Captain Zheng... are we really going to lock these people up for over forty hours?"
"But in there... among them is Commander Shen’s daughter..."
Captain Zheng closed his eyes briefly and spoke in a suppressed voice, "That’s why I’m worried... what should I do?"
Making a mistake and secretly letting these new recruits slip away would mean no achievement. Once the selection ended, his team couldn’t face the higher authorities.
A team of veterans unable to keep a single recruit, that would be a disgrace to his team.
But if Shen Lingxi really falls into his hands, his career would also end there.
"Or... we could secretly let Shen Lingxi go, that way—"
"If only it were that simple, haven’t you seen the truth yet?"
"These recruits participating in the selection aren’t ordinary. They’re the top of this batch. Not having undergone systematic military training in school doesn’t mean they’re not smart. Not to mention anyone else, Shen Lingxi is Commander Shen’s daughter, her military literacy, training, and capabilities have been cultivated since childhood."
"That white-haired American is also not a novice. Besides, Tang Xiaohua, although she appears to have the most inconspicuous background, Commander Lu spoke on her behalf several times."
Listening to Captain Zheng’s words, the trusted soldier also fell silent for a moment.
"Releasing Shen Lingxi is easy, but the others aren’t fools, especially Tang Xiaohua, who blocked this path with the words she publicly declared when she surrendered."
Captain Zheng massaged his head, looked up at the sky, and felt that God was truly unfair for always giving him such bad luck!
Capturing six groups, any of which would usually be a cause for celebration, turned for Captain Zheng into nothing but a frown.
Song Lili, like everyone else, was detained indoors, squatting against the wall in a row.
She surveyed the room meant for holding prisoners—about twenty square meters, one door, and four ventilation windows at the top.
Lin Xinglan was next to Song Lili,
"Are we... just going to be eliminated ?"
