Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 219 Convergence
Since leaving the Blue Army's checkpoint, Chang Ning hasn't spoken a single word to Ma Qitong.

The girl's situation is exactly the same as in the original story, except that the object of her affections has changed to Chang Ning.

He became Xiao Zhuang's stand-in.

Chang Ning felt distressed whenever she thought about it.

He didn't remember ever having any dealings with Ma Qitong before, so why was that girl clinging to him like this?

Although Chang Ning was thinking about whether he could help the girl, he never intended to date her.

Even if the two wanted to be in a relationship, they wouldn't pass the military's vetting process.

This was clearly not going to work, so Chang Ning decided not to give people any hope from the start.

That's why Ma Qitong wanted to say something in the car but didn't know how to start, while Chang Ning kept his eyes closed and pretended not to notice Ma Qitong's little actions.

It's better to have a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one.

"Will we ever meet again?"

In front of the hotel, Ma Qitong leaned against the car door, staring blankly at Chang Ning's back.

Hearing Ma Qitong choke out those words behind him, Chang Ning felt a mix of emotions.

He didn't turn around. "May we meet again someday, but I hope we never see each other again!"

Chang Ning knew in his heart that, whether it was him or Ma Qitong, their identities were destined to bring them endless troubles in the future.

The two of them are simply not suited for a relationship.

Chang Ning's answer made Ma Qitong feel like her heart was breaking; it was as if the sky had fallen.

"Woooooooo~"

A suppressed sob came from behind, and Chang Ning paused in her steps.

Reason told him that if he went back to comfort Ma Qitong now, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Who knows, Miao Lian might even pester him and make him carry out that treacherous task that originally belonged to Xiao Zhuang.

"Ah~"

Chang Ning left in the end, without turning back to comfort Ma Qitong, who was squatting by the car wheel and crying softly.

Cry all you want, the outcome will be good for both of us after this is over.

As long as they have no connection with Ma Qitong, Miao Lian's plan will not be formulated.

Then Xiao Zhuang's girlfriend won't die, and Ma Qitong's brother won't die in front of her.

As for whether Ma Yunfei was ultimately killed or arrested, Chang Ning felt that it had nothing to do with him; that was a matter for Miao Lian to worry about.

At 6:00 a.m., Chang Ning and his two companions quietly left the hotel, and they even settled their accommodation fees before leaving.

After leaving the city, the three climbed to the top of the mountain in one go. They looked towards the county town, where thick blue smoke was rising in the sky.

Chang Ning smiled and said, "This is going to be tough for the Blues. Let's go."

After saying that, Chang Ning turned around and was about to leave when she felt someone tug at the hem of her clothes.

"what happened?"

Chang Ning looked at the old man.

"What's wrong? How dare you ask?"

Xiao Zhuang chimed in from the side: "Exactly. Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely! I advise you to confess honestly right now."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Lao Pao was very serious, while Xiao Zhuang was a bit unserious, acting like he was just watching the show.

Seeing that Chang Ning remained silent, Lao Pao grew increasingly anxious.

This is no joke. Dating is fine, it's not like you're not allowed to find a partner, but is it going to kill you to find someone with a clean background?

Why did they have to pick someone whose family sells noodles?

Even if that girl didn't get involved, if you, Chang Ning, date her, your future is ruined!
The veteran has gone to great lengths for Changning.

The old man frowned, his face stern: "Aren't you going to explain this to us?"

When it came to Ma Qitong, Chang Ning was completely clueless. She had never met Ma Qitong before, let alone knew her.

They were strangers before, but judging from Ma Qitong's familiar manner, no one would believe that the two didn't know each other before.

Chang Ning didn't connect Ma Qitong with the girl he had casually rescued who had been picked up by a corpse.

Ma Shichang's daughter was almost picked up by a corpse; if word got out, it would shock both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

"I have nothing to do with her! We didn't even know each other before."

"You two don't even know each other, how could someone be so eager to like you? What girl would fall for you after just one meeting?" Lao Pao didn't believe Chang Ning's words.

On the contrary, Chang Ning's evasive denials made him even more suspicious that there must be something going on between the two of them.

"I need to report this to my superiors when I get back! This is very important!"

"Don't even mention it, I have to report it to everyone!" Chang Ning said with a wry smile.

Xiao Zhuang glanced at Chang Ning beside him and then at Lao Pao; he hadn't expected things to develop to this point.

If the higher-ups find out about Chang Ning and Ma Qitong's affair, it will definitely have a huge impact on Chang Ning.

But it was impossible not to report to their superiors, since the matter was somewhat complicated and they couldn't keep it a secret.

"What exactly happened in Changning? We're brothers who've been through thick and thin together. What can't we talk about?"
Tell me what you think about so we can discuss it together!

Xiao Zhuang was getting anxious; he couldn't understand why Chang Ning was unwilling to talk about it.

Could it be that guy is colluding with Ma Qitong's family?

Upon realizing this, Xiao Zhuang's expression changed drastically, and his gaze towards Chang Ning was filled with disbelief.

He felt that his trust had been betrayed, and by the person he trusted most.

"You little rascal, what are you thinking about?"

Chang Ning reached out and patted Xiao Zhuang on the head.

Although I don't know exactly what Xiao Zhuang was imagining, I knew from the way he looked at me that it was definitely not a good thing.

"Can't you guys just trust me for once?"

We've been through so much together, you all know what kind of person I, Chang Ning, am. Why would I need to lie to you?

There's really nothing between Ma Qitong and me. I'm completely baffled by her attitude towards me.

"Is it really okay?"

The old man looked at Chang Ning intently.

"If anything happens, just kill me!"

Chang Ning looked into Lao Pao's eyes, which revealed determination and sincerity.

When he made eye contact with the old man, his gaze didn't waver at all.

"Okay, I believe you this time."

Chang Ning couldn't tell whether the other party was deceiving him. Although the matter seemed strange in every way, Lao Pao ultimately chose to believe his comrade.

After resolving the minor issues within the team, the three continued their journey.

This time, they weren't going on a mission, but rather to reunite with other people.

On the Blue Team's territory, breaking up into smaller units carries less risk of exposure, but if discovered, the chances of escaping are equally slim.

Moreover, the Blue Team was caught off guard once, so it won't be so easy for Team B to carry out sabotage and decapitation missions in pairs next time.

Facing the increasingly vigilant Blue Army, the two-person team operation mode was too risky; Lei Keming's Black Tiger Special Forces Brigade was no pushover.

Group B really slapped them in the face this time, and Lei Keming won't let it go unless they retaliate.

It's just a matter of how Lei Keming will retaliate against the Red Army.

If the blame were directed at their Group B, Chang Ning didn't believe that just seven of them could hold their own against a renowned officer like Lei Keming on the Blue Army's turf.
