"You guys just don’t understand," Chen Yingjie sighed. "Originally, I was supposed to be the best man at the Captain’s wedding, but somehow I didn’t make the cut." He sighed again with a look of regret.
"That’s something you wouldn’t know, right?" Chen Yingjie raised his eyebrows proudly. "The best man is something we know about in the south! It’s about welcoming the bride..."
Both spoke in unison, jumping up and each throwing a punch.
"Fine! If it’s about welcoming the bride, just say so! Talking about a best man, I thought it was something else!"
"Right, Chen Yingjie, have you been training like a madman lately because your sister is so outstanding that you’re feeling threatened?" Li Duoxi asked with schadenfreude.
Recently, Chen Huaying’s reputation at National Security University had skyrocketed, and since she’d become close to Su Huai’an for some unknown reason, she’d become the idol of the entire university.
She was like a Boss Flower.
"It seems like your sister is indeed more famous than you now." The honest Chen Baoshan spoke seriously, earnestly advising, "Actually, you don’t need to feel pressured. It’s a good thing that your sister is excellent. Her excellence shows that the Chen Family has good genes, and if you ever fall on hard times, she might be able to save you."
"Buzz off..." Chen Yingjie stormed off, fuming. What kind of people were these? Bullying him when the Captain wasn’t around.
"Chen Yingjie, Captain Chen!" Zhou Hong ran over, panting. "Quick! The President is looking for you!"
"What happened?" All three stopped their horseplay and asked in unison.
"I don’t know! I just got a phone call." Zhou Hong caught his breath. "The President himself called and told you to go to the General Union immediately."
"Okay!" Chen Yingjie instantly became very serious, walked to the edge of the training field, picked up his coat, and left quickly.
Watching him leave, everyone crowded around Zhou Hong, curiously asking, "What’s up, Instructor? What happened?"
Zhou Hong shook his head with a grave look. "I don’t know, but the President has already approved a three-month leave for Chen Yingjie."
"Three months’ leave?"
"No way, where did that leave come from?"
"It must be a mission, right?" Li Duoxi, quick-witted, hit the nail on the head. "Only special missions would require..." He didn’t finish his sentence, mindful of confidentiality rules. Such missions were definitely top-secret.
The three were silent for nearly a minute before Chen Baoshan finally spoke with a furrowed brow, "I heard before that Chen Yingjie is the Captain’s right-hand man, and only he has the rapport to keep up with the Captain’s pace. So, he would only go on missions with the Captain..."
At that, their expressions all changed.
To have the War Wolf Rescue Team Leader, the most elite from the north, personally undertake a mission, how dangerous must it be?
"But the Captain just got married, what about the sister-in-law..."
"Ah! I wonder if the sister-in-law can understand; if it were my wife, she would have turned the house upside down!"
The married Chen Baoshan and Li Duoxi exchanged glances, starting to worry. The sister-in-law was so beautiful and coveted by everyone. Surely this would affect the couple’s relationship.
"The Captain should be arriving at the Rescue Association soon."
"If I’d known, I wouldn’t have teased Chen Yingjie earlier."
"Yeah! Actually, I really admire Chen Yingjie."
Indeed, by the afternoon, Xu Qigang had already arrived at the Rescue Association. Shen Feihu had specially arranged a helicopter. After following the car to the local base in the county, he’d taken a helicopter straight back to the Rescue Association.
