Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 271 Miao Lian arrives, and Xiao Fei is teased.

The next day, Chang Ning, who was still fast asleep in bed, was shaken awake.

He assumed the person was a nurse changing his dressing or drawing blood, and readily extended his arm for the nurse to perform the procedure.

Since I was hospitalized, although it hasn't happened often that I have to come to have my blood drawn early in the morning, there have been one or two times.

This is their job, and Chang Ning won't say anything.

That's strange, there's no movement at all.

The absence of the familiar stinging sensation in her arm piqued Chang Ning's curiosity.

Normally, the nurse would have already started the procedure once I stretched out my arm, so why was there no response today?

Turning her head to look at the bedside, Chang Ning saw a middle-aged man with a buzz cut wearing sunglasses looking at her.

The man had graying temples and three wrinkles on his forehead.

The more Chang Ning looked at the man, the more familiar he felt; he was certain he had seen this man before.

"Miao Lian!"

After recognizing the person, Chang Ning quickly got up and pulled Miao Lian to sit on the edge of the bed.

How could he bear to let the old company commander stand and talk?

"Haha, you little rascal."

Miao Lian sat down: "I thought you wouldn't recognize me."

These words made Chang Ning blush with shame; he had indeed almost failed to recognize the old company commander.

Since joining the Wolf Fang Clan, he has never had the chance to see Miao Lian again.

When I finally managed to get leave, I learned from the high school team that Miao Lian had already been demobilized.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and I was surprised to see Miao Lian change so much when I saw her again; she looked much older.

I remember that half a year ago, Miao Lian didn't have so much gray hair, nor did she have forehead wrinkles.

It seems that finding a job in society isn't easy either.

He broke off a banana and stuffed it into Miao Lian's hand: "To be honest, Miao Lian, you've changed so much. I almost didn't recognize you just now."

"You don't know yet, do you? I've transferred to the public security system. It's busier than in the army, but it's fulfilling too."

Miao Lian took a bite of the banana, looking completely nonchalant.

If Chang Ning hadn't seen Miao Lian's bloodshot eyes and faint dark circles, he would have thought Miao Lian was living a quiet retirement in the countryside.

Compared to Xiao Zhuang, the two hadn't known each other for very long. Miao Lian was incredibly kind to his own people, but he had a tendency to trick them.

The closer the relationship, the less ruthless they are when they strike.

Knowing Miao Lian as he did, Chang Ning felt uneasy.

Don't you see that Xiao Zhuang is a cautionary tale? Chang Ning can't help but be vigilant.

"I'm a one-man team member, I can be moved wherever I'm needed."

"It's not easy for anyone, whether in civilian life or the military. Look, I'm even in the hospital myself."

Chang Ning made up his mind that he would not be fooled by anything Miao Lian said.

If someone speaks their mind directly, that's a different story.

"Yes, what you said is absolutely correct."

I really need your help right now.

Miao Lian patted Chang Ning's hand with a smile.

Why are you using such vulgar language? You've been caught talking behind your back.

Chang Ning wished she could slap herself a few times.

Experience is the best teacher! Once the other party seized the opportunity to make things clear, he couldn't continue to play dumb.

"If there's anything I can do to help Miao Lian, just let me know."

With things having come to this point, Chang Ning immediately pounded his chest loudly.

Whether the matter can be accomplished is another matter, but the gesture must be made properly.

"You'll definitely be fine."

Miao Lian first affirmed Chang Ning's abilities, and basically just went along with Chang Ning's words to elevate him to a high position.

You little punk, trying to outsmart me? You're way behind.

The two were well aware of the verbal exchange between them, but neither of them brought it up; it was purely for fun!
"I have a task for you. I need you to get close to Ma Qitong." Upon hearing this name, Chang Ning thought to himself, "As expected."

Aside from Ma Qitong, Chang Ning couldn't think of anything else that would make Miao Lian come to her.

"Ma Qitong? You mean the girl I met during the exercise? She's not a bad person, what happened to her?"

Chang Ning pretended not to know and asked Miao Lian.

"Here's the thing: Ma Qitong herself has a clean record, but her family background is a different story..."

Miao Lian recounted the story of the Ma family group in detail. Chang Ning, who was familiar with the plot, knew about the Ma family's situation, but not in as much detail as Miao Lian.

According to Miao Lian's account, apart from Ma Qitong, the other members of the Ma family all had one or two lives on their hands.

To say that he was utterly wicked is an understatement; he was utterly wicked!
"The Ma family's heinous acts are indeed infuriating, and I am willing to help."

"But I'm not part of the police force. You'll have to discuss Miao Lian's matter with Captain He and Captain Gao."

Chang Ning was in a difficult position; he couldn't help without orders from the military.

"You don't need to worry about this. Since you've agreed to help, come with me."

Since there were no problems with the procedures, Chang Ning didn't waste any more words and followed Miao Lian outside.

But as she walked, Chang Ning realized that this was not the way to be discharged from the hospital.

Should I go find Xiao Zhuang? Chang Ning pondered to herself.

Xiao Zhuang was also in contact with Ma Qitong at the time, so it makes perfect sense for Miao Lian to look for Xiao Zhuang.

Seeing that Miao Lian had no intention of explaining, Chang Ning didn't ask any further questions.

In the military, especially in special forces, not asking questions that shouldn't be asked is an important code of conduct.

Upon arriving at the elevator and seeing Captain Gao's figure, Chang Ning knew that Captain He had agreed to this operation.

Yu Simiao and He Dadui had a deep bond forged in the same trenches, and Yu Gong couldn't stand idly by when his comrades in the local area encountered difficulties.

With both substance and face secured, Wolf Fang has no reason not to help.

After saying hello to the high school team, the three of them entered the elevator.

Seeing that neither of the two leaders seemed inclined to speak, Chang Ning obediently shut his mouth as well.

The elevator slowly ascended to the top floor amidst the silence of the three people.

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Fei saw Chang Ning in the elevator.

"Chang Ning, why did you come here on your own? I was just about to tell you about Xiao Zhuang's location later."

"My supervisor brought me here."

Chang Ning gestured to Xiao Fei with his eyes that the two people next to him were his leaders.

"Hello, leaders. I am a friend from Changning."

Xiao Fei saluted the high school team leader, ignoring that Miao Lian was wearing casual clothes.

"I'll take Changning with me for a while, and then I'll return her to you later."

Unlike the serious and unsmiling high school team, Miao Lian looked at Chang Ning and Xiao Fei with ambiguous eyes, and his words even had a hint of matchmaking in them.

Chang Ning couldn't argue with Miao Lian in front of him, so she could only look at Xiao Fei with an apologetic gaze.

He planned to apologize to Xiao Fei after Miao Lian and Gao Zhong left, so as not to ruin her reputation.

And Miao Lian, why is she trying to play matchmaker like this!

"It's alright, you guys go ahead with your work."

Miao Lian's words made Xiao Fei blush bright red.

After everyone left, Xiaofei leaned against the wall and fanned herself to cool down.

I don’t know why she can’t get angry when Chang Ning is mentioned. Otherwise, given her temper, how could she let a clueless middle-aged man make fun of her?

Miao Lian walked to the ward door and pushed it open, only to see a pure-looking female nurse feeding Xiao Zhuang.

"Well, you guys continue."

I'll wait outside for a bit.

Miao Lian hadn't expected things to turn out this way, so she simply gave up the ward to allow both sides some room to adjust.

Inside the ward, Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Ying were still in the same position, feeding each other.

Things happened so fast that neither of them had time to react.

"That person who just came in looks like Miao Lian!"
