"I didn’t mean it that way." Geng Yifan hurriedly waved his hand to stop, afraid that Gu Tong might misunderstand something.
Gu Tong, being meticulous, naturally understood his thoughts and said, "I know, I didn’t mean anything else either. After all, being a female trainee, it’s inconvenient for me to handle things, and moreover, I’m thought of as a parachuted trainee, so it’s hard to win people over."
"So, I’ll just be at ease as a team member. That’s my genuine thought, please believe me."
Gu Tong didn’t hide anything and spoke matter-of-factly.
Geng Yifan wasn’t a fool either, naturally understanding the implied meaning, and said, "In that case... I’ll listen to you and be the captain for now. If something happens, we can discuss it together. How does that sound?"
It must be said, he had a particular respect for Gu Tong.
Perhaps it was shock at Gu Tong’s previous abilities, or maybe it was admiration for Gu Tong’s wisdom. Regardless of which, being able to act , Geng Yifan was already quite impressed.
Gu Tong smiled faintly, for the first time feeling the simplicity of the Academy, realizing that the trainees’ thoughts were very straightforward and that protecting the country was their responsibility.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Many trainees were eliminated, their performances noted down by the relevant authorities.
Lan Siming slammed the table hard, yelling, "We checked all the surveillance points! How could there be no one? Are you sure you were careful in your investigations?"
The surveillance staff, sweating on their foreheads, shakily said, "Officer Lan, we really searched carefully... But we didn’t find any traces. We suspect they have run to an area outside the surveillance zone..."
Heaven knows how they got through these two days, it was like walking on thin ice, working 24/7 without stopping, monitoring the trainees of the New Student Camp was already challenging enough.
They also had to search for a particular team that had been missing for a while, and it wasn’t just that...
"Are you sure?" Li Yan raised an eyebrow, his icy aura exerting immense pressure.
The surveillance staff felt like they wanted to swallow their swords in despair...
What kind of misfortune had they committed to have the toughest two officers in the Academy watching them 24/7? It was more unbearable than being skinned alive...
"Affirmative, Officer! We previously checked the edge surveillance points and observed that the targets walked out of the surveillance range. I think they’re hiding somewhere..."
These new trainees were unbelievably rowdy.
They even directly ran out of the surveillance area into a place where they couldn’t be tracked. According to trainee regulations, this was quite a clever move.
But for the surveillance staff’s own mission, this idea was simply a nuisance!
"Your people, really know how to stir things up!" Once it was confirmed that Gu Tong was okay, Lan Siming glared at Li Yan, saying, "Even such rotten ideas can be thought up!" The whole surveillance point was going crazy.
Li Yan’s thin lips moved slightly, and without guessing, it was understood that this was Gu Tong’s idea.
Based on the well-behaved nature of the New Student Camp, they definitely wouldn’t come up with such a disruptive trick, nor would they have the guts for it.
"Strategy, my ass..." Lan Siming spat out blood in exasperation yet couldn’t be bothered to care further, saying, "Withdraw all the border vehicles, we’re not going in!"
Earlier, they almost went in to find people, and even the vehicles were arranged.
"No need to withdraw!"
"No need to withdraw?" Lan Siming raised an eyebrow, a sense of foreboding creeping up.
Li Yan stood up calmly, saying, "Results are about to come out! It’s more reassuring to take a personal look!"
To put it bluntly, he was worried about Gu Tong and wanted to go take a look, using this pompous reason as an excuse.
To Lan Siming, this sentence was like a thunderclap on a sunny day; he had been guarding this precious secret for so long that he hoped nothing would go wrong...
