Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 158 The Internal Showdown of the Lone Wolf

For both Chang Ning and Lin Miaomiao, this incident was just a minor episode in their life journey, perhaps not even worth mentioning.

After all, the two weren't exactly close; they were just casual acquaintances.

"Not bad, you can even chat with young girls while you're out here. It's a pity that we comrades were worried sick about you, afraid that something might happen and you'd end up in a graveyard."

As soon as Chang Ning squeezed into the jeep, the ostrich started winking at him, its eyes gleaming with gossip, practically screaming "I want to know what he talked about with that girl!"

Everyone's attention was focused on Chang Ning, and even Geng Jihui, who was driving, would occasionally look in the rearview mirror to observe Chang Ning's reaction.

"I say, you guys are being too nosy. Besides, that girl is only in junior high school, she's only 14 or 5 years old at most. I wouldn't be that beastly, would I?"

Chang Ning was quite annoyed by the ostrich's question, but to be fair, Lin Miaomiao is quite pretty when she grows up, and has a good personality. But right now she's too young, and she's not a pervert.

Despite wincing in pain after being slapped by Chang Ning, the ostrich didn't take it seriously; a minor injury was nothing compared to watching the drama unfold.

As a comrade-in-arms, he certainly knew Chang Ning's character. He might not be a paragon of virtue, but he could confidently say that Chang Ning was a good young man with sound values.

The reason the ostrich did this was because everyone saw Chang Ning leaning against the railing chatting comfortably with his female classmates, and they all agreed to treat it as punishment for deceiving their feelings.

"Then tell me what you were chatting about! If you don't, there's a huge problem. This is a matter of conduct!"

Qiangzi urged Changning on.

"Yeah, hurry up and tell me, it's driving me crazy!"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao Zhuang, unable to stand Chang Ning's dawdling, turned around and said.

"Hey, I'm not going to say anything now, what do you want?"

Forced to write it down, Chang Ning didn't want to talk about it anymore, though she also deliberately kept these guys hanging.

"If you don't tell me, it means you have something to hide. Chang Ning, this is a matter of conduct. If Captain Gao or Captain He finds out, you'll be in big trouble."

Chang Ning, you should think this through carefully.

Fearing that Chang Ning was unaware of the seriousness of the matter, Geng Jihui recounted several similar incidents, one of which was still in jail.

Chang Ning's actions made everyone think that he was guilty, and their expressions immediately became serious.

Seeing that everyone seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, Chang Ning realized that she couldn't be honest anymore.

Although he and Lin Miaomiao were completely innocent, he felt very uncomfortable being forced into this situation.

Since you're unhappy with Changning, just say it. We're all good brothers who can entrust our lives to each other, so just speak your mind.

If all else fails, go to a combat training gym and practice.

Most conflicts in the world are caused by untimely communication or simply a lack of communication.

"I would say it's not impossible, but there's something we need to make clear up beforehand."

The ostrich asked, "What is it?"

"If you want to know what I talked about with that little girl, you can just tell me directly, right? We're all good brothers, what can't we say? But you can't pin this on me! I'm the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force."

Qiangzi and Geng Jihui looked embarrassed; Chang Ning was subtly hinting at something to them.

Geng Jihui: "I'm sorry, I won't do it again."

Qiangzi: "Me too!"

Seeing that the two seemed sincere, Chang Ning slowly said, "You just want to know what I said to them, right? Please let me tell you slowly."

After saying that, Chang Ning pretended to touch his still-growing beard.

"Say it quickly!"

Old Pao couldn't stand Chang Ning's arrogant attitude any longer and couldn't help but give him a good slap. The others secretly praised Old Pao as a righteous official who had rid the people of a scourge. "Alright, alright, I'll tell you right away."

Chang Ning rubbed her head and said with a wronged expression, "Actually, she didn't say anything. She just wanted to know my identity. You know, our hunter camouflage is very cool."

"You didn't tell them, did you?"

The ostrich, being straightforward, asked without thinking.

"You think I'm like you? My sense of secrecy is top-notch!"

Chang Ning cast a disdainful glance at the ostrich. Everyone knew that the ostrich was pursuing Xia Lan, and Chang Ning even admired Xia Lan's good temper for his persistent pursuit.

Before the ostrich could refute, Chang Ning continued, "I told them that because my workplace has a high level of confidentiality, there are some things I can't say to outsiders."

Then you guys came. I really didn't say anything to them. Besides, what would I have to say to a little girl?

Talking about military matters doesn't seem to interest them; discussing other topics is too brief, and we can't find common ground.

Seeing that Chang Ning didn't seem to be lying, the others didn't press the matter further.

They all knew that asking any further would be pointless; it was very difficult to get anything out of Chang Ning if he didn't want to talk about it.

Once the matter was out in the open, it lost its appeal, and everyone, having satisfied their gossip, stopped bothering Chang Ning.

Apart from Geng Jihui, who was driving miserably, everyone else was resting, as they were all tired from the day.

After skydiving and searching the mountains and fields for most of the day, how could I not be exhausted?

After returning to Wolf Fang, Captain He and Captain Gao, seeing that Chang Ning was alright, gave him a few words of advice and then told him to go back and rest.

No matter what, Chang Ning had only trained for three days. It was already good that he didn't break his arms or legs. In addition, he was blown by the wind and changed the landing location. Captain He really couldn't blame Chang Ning for this.

"Why are you following me instead of going to work?"

When Captain He noticed that Captain Gao was following him, he turned around, walked up to him, and asked.

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

The high school team leader said with an awkward smile.

"What is it? If it's a personal matter, we can talk after get off work. If it's business, write a report and submit it for me to approve."

After he finished speaking and turned to leave, he was stopped by the high school team leader.

"Wait, Captain, let me talk to you first. If you don't agree, I won't write the report. You know I hate writing that stuff the most."

"Alright, tell me. But make it short."

He Zhijun led Gao Zhongdui to the shade of a tree to see what he could say.

"After training for so long, I'm honestly quite satisfied with the last hostage rescue operation overall."

As a new team, and having no prior match experience except for Changning, their outstanding performance on their first attempt is quite remarkable.

After returning, we conducted targeted training to address the shortcomings…

"Stop! If you want to report on the training results, please go back and write a report first. I will read it. There is absolutely no need for you to drag me here."

Seeing that Captain Gao was taking his time getting to the point, Captain He assumed that Captain Gao had come to report on his work and said with displeasure.

"Captain, I want to hold an internal competition among the Lone Wolves. Group A and Group B will be drawn to determine the red and blue teams."

"I'll need your help to act as referee then."

Fearing that Captain He would leave, Captain Gao quickly revealed his plans.
