He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

After all, the Iron Fist Group no longer exists, so it would be unreasonable to refute even the old leader's dignity.

Even if it's acceptable on the surface, I still feel guilty inside.

Iron Fist Regiment, Sharpshooter Fourth Company.

That was his first combat unit and first company since he joined the army, so it was impossible for him not to have feelings for them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Beixing sighed helplessly, having no choice but to let Number Five's scheme succeed this time.

"Alright, I'll go, but I have one condition: I must be in charge of all the training in the combined arms camp."

"Of course, no problem! But you'll need to discuss the specifics with Lao Kang in person."

Fan Tianlei laughed heartily and breathed a sigh of relief when Zhang Beixing agreed.

"Then so be it," Zhang Beixing said helplessly. "Where is Commander Kang... oh no, where is Deputy Brigade Commander Kang now?"

Fan Tianlei responded: "He will attend the social gathering this afternoon. You can go directly to him to register."

Zhang Beixing nodded: "A social gathering? Okay, I got it."

"Alright, I have nothing else to say. You can go back and rest."

Zhang Beixing winked and chuckled:
"You're alright, but I still have some questions."

Fan Tianlei blinked, puzzled, and asked, "What could you possibly want? Weren't you in such a hurry to leave just now?"

Zhang Beixing went straight to the point, without mincing words:
"I'm doing you a favor, shouldn't you do me one too?"

Fan Tianlei curled his lip in annoyance: "Speak."

Zhang Beixing asked directly, "I want to know where An Ran is."

"An Ran?" Fan Tianlei frowned slightly.

In fact, during this period, Tang Xinyi inquired about An Ran's situation many times, so Fan Tianlei had no choice but to ask He Zhijun for information.

After several interactions, I learned a little about Anran's affairs.

However, their actions are confidential and cannot be easily disclosed.

When Zhang Beixing asked this question, Fan Tianlei felt quite embarrassed.

Why are you asking about the female soldiers' movements?

Zhang Beixing shook his head and said, "A fair maiden is the object of a gentleman's affections. He seeks her but cannot have her, and longs for her day and night. Is this answer sufficient?"

Upon hearing this answer, Fan Tianlei couldn't help but glance sideways at Zhang Beixing.

I thought you'd spend your life with books, but I never expected you'd have such an epiphany...

Fan Tianlei sighed softly:
"I can't say more, but I can tell you that she is carrying out a classified mission codenamed 'Violet'."

Zhang Beixing scoffed, "Secret mission? Heh, I could guess that with my toes. Do you have any specific intelligence?"

“Hmm…” Fan Tianlei remained silent.

"If you don't tell me, everything we just said is null and void."

Fan Tianlei gritted his teeth: "I'll reveal a little more, but really no more, otherwise I'll be breaking the rules."

"Okay, even a little bit is fine."

Fan Tianlei's gaze suddenly turned serious, and he said in a solemn voice, "K2."

what?
K2!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beixing was startled and blurted out, "She went to infiltrate Black Cat's inner circle?"

Upon hearing the name Black Cat, Fan Tianlei was suddenly stunned.

"You actually know about Black Cat, the international terrorist organization K2?"

Zhang Beixing sighed softly.

I not only know K2, but I also know that Black Cat is Ye Cunxin's biological father.

Zhang Beixing casually explained, "I'm not stupid. Such a large terrorist organization can be found on the military region's official website at any time."

Without much thought, Fan Tianlei slowly nodded.

"You guessed right, but that's all I have to say, I can't say any more."

“I understand,” Zhang Beixing said. “But if there is any new information about Anran, I still hope that Number Five can inform me.”

Fan Tianlei did not directly agree, but only said leisurely:
"It depends."

Zhang Beixing said no more, then saluted and turned to leave.

……

The 9th Combined Arms Brigade, Theater Base!
At 1 p.m., the joint meeting between the military and civilians of the Ninth Brigade kicked off amidst enthusiastic applause.

Outstanding young officers from across the military region, dressed in their service uniforms, sat down neatly.

Even at the matchmaking event, the officers remained upright, looking straight ahead.

Soon, the eligible young women in the area lined up and entered the venue under the guidance of the new recruits, and took their seats in turn.

Song Kaifei, who had been longing to attend the military-civilian friendship meeting, missed the registration deadline and was unable to sit in the officers' seats. Still hoping to try his luck, he followed Zhang Beixing to the meeting.

The two found seats in the audience.

Among the new recruits responsible for logistical support at the event, Zhang Nengliang was one of them.

When Zhang Nengliang saw Zhang Beixing, he immediately waved to him warmly.

"Team Leader Zhang, there's a seat here!"

Song Kaifei walked closer with Zhang Bei and sat down in a chair.

"Team Leader Zhang, what brings you here?"

Song Kaifei chuckled and said, "What's the point of coming to a matchmaking event? Of course, it's to find a partner!"

"Then why are you sitting here?"

Zhang Beixing explained with a smile, "He had no idea that he needed to register; he was just trying his luck."

Zhang Nengliang suddenly realized: "Captain Zhang, you're here to find a partner too?"

"Do I still need to search? Shouldn't this be allocated by the state?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed towards the podium.

“I’ve come to find your Deputy Brigade Commander Kang.”

"Huh?" Zhang Nengliang exclaimed dramatically, "People say old cows eat young grass, why do you only pick older ones?"

Zhang Beixing was not annoyed and said with a smile, "I've come to discuss the selection and training of the combined arms battalion with your deputy brigade commander."

Zhang Nengliang was stunned: "Combined arms battalion? What's that?"

"It doesn't matter. I'll definitely take good care of you then," Zhang Beixing said with a smile.

I have a feeling he has ill intentions!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nengliang's face turned pale.

On the podium, Lan Zhiguang, the brigade commander of the Ninth Brigade, stood up to deliver a speech, and enthusiastic applause rang out again.

"First of all, welcome to all comrades, fellow soldiers, fellow villagers from the military region, and young people of eligible age! Hello everyone!"

"I would like to briefly emphasize two points: the main purpose of this conference is to address the marital happiness issues of everyone here."

"Therefore, no coyness or hesitation is allowed, and we strictly prohibit dragging things out. We encourage you to express your feelings boldly, and we hope that you will all find love. Now, please let Deputy Brigade Commander Kang say a few words."

Master Kang, who was sitting next to Lan Zhiguang, quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, no, I'm not good at this. Please let Political Commissar Chen speak."

Seeing that he declined, Lan Zhiguang did not press the matter.

"Alright, then let Political Commissar Chen say a few words."

Chen Yuanli stood up, faced the crowd, and began to speak with a smile:
"What Brigade Commander Lan said earlier is absolutely right. One should not be coy when talking about a partner, but in this kind of situation... being meticulous and thoughtful is still necessary!"

The young men and women in the audience burst into laughter.

"Seeing you all reminds me of myself back then. Thinking back, I also met my love at a social gathering, so I hope that you can have the same dream today."

Political Commissar Chen spoke eloquently, "The luckiest thing in her life was discovering and winning my heart at that social gathering. What could be more romantic than guns and roses?"

Master Kong, standing nearby, couldn't help but joke:

"Look at him, he gets all worked up after letting him say a few words."

Political Commissar Chen laughed heartily: "Alright, enough with the small talk, let's begin the military-civilian get-together!"

A bond forged in the military, a destiny brought together by the mighty army! ...

As Chen Yuanli, the political commissar of the Ninth Brigade, announced the official start of the joint military-civilian activity, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

The applause was as enthusiastic and joyous as festive firecrackers.

The logistics department immediately lit up colorful lights, and melodious music began to play.

Young men and women began searching for their ideal partners; some exchanged contact information, while others danced hand in hand, instantly enlivening the atmosphere.

"Pilot, good luck. I'm going to find Deputy Brigade Commander Kang."

As Zhang Beixing spoke, he got up and walked towards the leadership seat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up and took a few steps, he was surrounded by more than twenty young women.

"Comrade, may I invite you to dance?" "Hello, would it be convenient for us to exchange contact information? My phone number is xxx."

"Soldier, you're so handsome! I'd like to add you on WeChat!"

what?
What's happening?
Zhang Beixing looked bewildered.

Several girls who couldn't squeeze closer could only shout excitedly from behind.

"Ahhh, so handsome!"

"Luckily I came today, otherwise I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."

"I didn't know there were such handsome soldiers in the army. I'm in love and I want to have his babies."

Zhang Beixing's area was bustling with people, while the officers' section was much quieter.

Seeing this, Lan Zhiguang and others on the leadership platform asked curiously:
"Hey, who's this soldier? He's so popular with the girls, it's... "

Lan Zhiguang frowned slightly, clicked his tongue in confusion, and asked, "Why does he look so familiar?"

Chen Yuanli followed his gaze and blurted out with a wry smile:

"Brigade Commander, you certainly look familiar. Wasn't it him who took down our command post during the last combat exercise with the 199th Brigade?"

A combat exercise?

"Oh, it's him! No wonder he looked familiar."

Lan Zhiguang suddenly realized, but still couldn't help but frown:

"But what is he doing here today? To cause trouble? It won't do if all the girls go to him; our soldiers will be heartbroken."

Master Kang smiled and looked around at the two people beside him:

"You two don't need to worry, he's probably here to see me."

"I guess it's about the selection process for the combined arms battalion training. I'll take him away now so as not to interfere with the soldiers' search for a good match."

Lan Zhiguang nodded: "Go quickly, or the social gathering will turn into his personal event."

"Don't worry, leave it to me," Master Kang readily agreed.

After saying that, he immediately got up and rushed to Zhang Beixing's location.

Among the girls who came to the social event were many beautiful and slender women, but Zhang Beixing was not interested.

Faced with the passionate girls, he had no choice but to politely decline them one by one.

"Sorry, I can't dance."

"I don't use WeChat; I use an old-fashioned mobile phone."

The phone number is no longer in service.

Zhang Beixing was surrounded by a dense crowd, making it impossible for Master Kang to squeeze in. He could only wait anxiously from the outside, hoping that Zhang Beixing would break through on his own.

The young military officers participating in the get-together cast resentful glances at them.

His gaze was like a knife, each cut drawing blood!

what's the situation?
Isn't it said that every unmarried officer has a chance?

What does that count now?
Just outrageous!
Why are all the pretty girls going to him?
This is an absolute grudge—the theft of my wife! An irreconcilable enmity!
Zhang Beixing remained cold and indifferent, and after finally managing to politely decline everyone's advances, he managed to break through the encirclement, panting for breath.

But before he could reunite with Master Kang, Huang Xiaomeng, looking flustered, suddenly rushed in front of him.

"Captain Zhang Beixing, please help me!"

Zhang Beixing frowned: "Why is it you? What do you want now?"

Huang Xiaomeng said, feeling wronged, "What? You don't like me that much?"

"Not really, you're quite cute, you remind me of the big white geese my grandpa raised."

Zhang Beixing said earnestly, "Seeing you reminds me of the time when I was a child and geese would chase me and peck my bottom."

Huang Xiaomeng: "."

"It's nothing, don't bother me. Someone keeps bothering me."

Huang Xiaomeng suddenly changed her voice to a coquettish tone and said in a sweet and coquettish voice.

What are you doing?
You actually know how to act cute? Aren't you afraid of ruining your image?

Just as Zhang Beixing was wondering what was going on, a huge dark shadow loomed over him.

Looking up, I saw a burly man standing menacingly before me.

Huang Xiaomeng quickly hid behind him, peeking out from behind his shoulder.

Looking at the burly man over two meters tall in front of him, and then at Huang Xiaomeng behind him who looked like a frightened little rabbit, Zhang Beixing immediately understood.

Oh I got it.

Huang Xiaomeng blinked her big eyes, looking for help with great anticipation.

Zhang Beixing sighed helplessly and reached out to stop the burly man who was about to step forward.

The burly man was stunned: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Beixing, expressionless, asked in return, "May I ask which organization you work for?"

The burly man glanced at Zhang Beixing, who was blocking his way, and said disdainfully, "He's from the press corps. He just met this young lady."

He was referring to Huang Xiaomeng, of course.

"I really like her, it was love at first sight, and I want her contact information."

Before Zhang Beixing could respond, the burly male reporter immediately retorted, "What? Is there a problem?"

Wow, that's a pretty direct answer!

Song Kaifei was busy chatting with the girl and didn't notice anything amiss.

On the contrary, Zhang Nengliang and other new recruits all witnessed this scene.

"Liangliang, it seems that Captain Zhang Beixing and Huang Xiaomeng are in trouble."

"Should we go and help them?"

Wang Xiaowang sized up the burly man confronting Zhang Beixing and couldn't help but chuckle.

"If you ask me, a wise person knows when to yield. We're not of the right rank for this occasion, so it's not really appropriate, is it?"

Zhang Beixing is 1.8 meters tall, which is considered quite tall among ordinary people.

But standing face-to-face with the male reporter created a stark contrast, as if she were encountering a giant bear.

Zhang Nengliang glanced at it from afar, then quickly looked away, losing interest.

"There's nothing to see here, that reporter is going to be in trouble."

What?
Is the reporter having a run of bad luck?

Wang Xiaowang didn't believe it: "Impossible, right? Even if Captain Zhang is a special forces soldier, that reporter is so big, he can't beat him, can he?"

"Yes, yes, I think so too."

"It's unlikely, I think it's probably not going to work out."

Everyone agreed.

Seeing this, Zhang Nengliang laughed and said, "You don't believe me?"

Everyone nodded.

Zhang Nengliang had complete confidence in Zhang Beixing and immediately waved:

"Let's go, let's go take a look."

"Okay! I'll watch!"

"How about we make a bet?"

"Let's bet! Who's afraid of who? I bet ten packs of duck necks that the reporter will win!"

"I also think Captain Zhang's chances of winning are slim, the size difference is too obvious."

Zhang Nengliang sneered: "Hmph, just wait and see if you can clear out my convenience store."

Before the words were even finished, the new recruits swarmed forward, forming a large group towards Zhang Beixing. The male reporter standing before them wore an arrogant expression.
Zhang Beixing sighed helplessly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

If it were an enemy, the battlefield would already be littered with corpses.

However, the problem is that, being in the Ninth Brigade camp at this moment, as a member of the Wolf Fang, one must ultimately restrain oneself a little.

In front of numerous reporters, Zhang Beixing was unwilling to cause any trouble.

But anyone who tries to bully the people he protects? Absolutely not!
Zhang Beixing sighed softly, then patiently explained with a smile:

"Comrade reporter, our Ninth Brigade's social event is mainly aimed at unmarried male officers and soldiers."

"Female soldiers are not within the scope of operations, so you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the male reporter nodded perfunctorily, responding sharply:

"I know, so what?"

The male reporter scoffed.

"I've inquired, and there's nothing wrong with female soldiers making friends outside the military. Besides, the military can't stop people from pursuing happiness, can it?"

"I just want to make friends, what's wrong with that?" (End of Chapter)
