He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

"Please immediately arrange for chemical defense troops to take over the hazardous materials!"

what?
That black cat that caused headaches for countries around the world has actually been killed!

Upon hearing this news, Wen Guoqiang and Captain Gao exchanged glances.

"Haha, good! This serves as a wake-up call to international terrorists: China will not be violated!"

"It's a pity we couldn't get any more information from him."

Captain Gao didn't take it seriously: "The information provided by that kid Zhang Beixing was detailed enough. Nothing in this world is perfect, so let's leave it at that. If this kid is interested in leaving the military, I'll at least give him the position of a captain in the armed police!"

Wen Guoqiang burst into laughter upon hearing this:

"Your temple is too small; it probably can't contain him. Such an outstanding warrior will likely become the second He Zhijun soon... no, surpassing Old He is only a matter of time!"

"You have a high opinion of Zhang Beixing, but it's a pity he's not in our police system."

After a brief exchange, the two immediately ordered the chemical defense troops to enter the research institute and take over the hazardous materials.

Once the order was given, a large number of special operations personnel wearing gas masks and protective suits entered the research institute in an orderly manner under the escort of the armed police.

Inside the research institute, Ye Cunxin stared at the black cat lying dead on the ground, her brows furrowing slightly.

After a moment of silence, she turned to look at her mother, Zhang Haiyan.

Zhang Haiyan silently and slowly shook her head, while Ye Cunxin wore a thoughtful expression, everything unspoken.

Lei Zhan quickly approached, crouched down, and used his finger to probe the black cat's carotid artery.

After confirming there were no vital signs, he looked up at Zhang Beixing and nodded emphatically.

Zhang Beixing exhaled a light breath and turned to look at Zhang Haiyan:
"Ms. Zhang Haiyan, have you chosen to turn yourself in?"

Zhang Haiyan nodded and automatically extended her hands.

"Erniu, handcuff her."

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing's order, Li Erniu was stunned. His handcuffed hands froze in mid-air, at a loss for what to do.

Ye Cunxin, who was standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed at Zhang Beixing.

"Captain Zhang Beixing, why did you arrest my mother?"

Zhang Haiyan shook her head at Ye Cunxin: "Cunxin, this is the responsibility I should bear."

As he spoke, Li Erniu stretched out his hand and, without hesitation, neatly fastened the handcuffs.

Ye Cunxin seemed to understand, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears.

"How could this be? How could my mother be a bad person..."

Seeing Ye Cunxin's distraught appearance, Zhang Beixing sighed softly and patted her shoulder:

“Ye Cunxin, no one can escape this matter, and mistakes must be taken into account. However, your mother helped us eliminate Black Cat and thwart the K2 plan, which is a great achievement, and the police will definitely consider reducing her sentence accordingly.”

Ye Cunxin's shoulders trembled slightly, her voice choked with emotion:

"But...but this is too sudden, I...I'm not prepared, Brother Zhang Beixing, what should I do?"

Zhang Beixing and she locked eyes:
"Ye Cunxin, you may soon be subject to military investigation."

"But don't be afraid, the army will not wrong innocent people, this is a special training."

Ye Cunxin's body trembled, and two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks.

"Will I... be expelled?"

She choked up as she said, "But I can't bear to leave everyone. I've fallen in love with the Fire Phoenix and want to continue fighting."

Seeing her sobbing uncontrollably, Zhang Beixing responded sternly:

"No, you will always be the most outstanding sniper in the Fire Phoenix!"

Listening to their conversation, Lei Zhan roughly understood the whole story.

Lei Zhan strode up to Ye Cunxin:
"Don't be afraid. You are a soldier I trained. I know you, and we all trust you."

Shen Lanni clenched her fist and said firmly, "Yes, kill the enemy. Don't be such a coward. We are comrades-in-arms, and we will trust you unconditionally!"

The female soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Army offered words of comfort, their gazes sincere, providing solace to Ye Cunxin.

"Ye Cunxin, keep going!"

"We are comrades-in-arms, for life, and we absolutely do not believe you are a spy!"

"Chinese female soldiers, never give up! None of us Fire Phoenix soldiers will betray our motherland!"

At this moment, a large number of armed police officers rushed into the site to take over the operation.

Zhang Haiyan surrendered herself and was escorted by two armed police officers to the deepest, most confidential area of ​​the research institute.

In a top-secret space with an all-steel structure, Zhang Haiyan unlocked the security device with a fingerprint lock.

The safe was filled with mist, revealing three silver metal cans.

Two chemical defense soldiers carefully removed the metal canister and gently placed it into a dry ice storage bag.

The two nodded to each other:

"Finish!"

After confirmation, the three metal canisters containing VX3 nerve gas were transferred in sequence to an explosion-proof box and escorted by designated personnel for disposal.

After the biological weapons were brought under control, a large number of officers and soldiers began to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies. Zhang Haiyan was also taken away in a police car.

Zhang Haiyan said guiltily, "Cunxin, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I've dragged you into this."

Ye Cunxin gently stroked her mother's face through the window: "It's alright, there's no need to say more. No matter what happens, it won't change our relationship."

Zhang Haiyan nodded, her eyes reddening: "Don't worry about me, just stay in the army."

"Yes, but I still want to know the answer." Ye Cunxin wiped away her tears.

Zhang Haiyan had decided to bury this secret forever, and she shook her head: "It's better if you don't know."

Ye Cunxin took a deep breath and asked firmly, "Is it... a black cat?"

Zhang Haiyan remained silent in anguish and did not respond.

Inside the car, Zhang Haiyan waved goodbye to Ye Cunxin and drove away.

Ye Cunxin watched the police car carrying her mother disappear into the horizon, bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, her eyes red-rimmed.

Zhang Bei walked to her side and gently comforted her, "This is the best possible outcome. Don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

"Yes, I understand..."

Ye Cunxin let out a sob, turned around and threw herself into Zhang Beixing's arms, tears streaming down her face.

Zhang Beixing patted his head lightly, showing no romantic feelings whatsoever, only the most sincere care between comrades.

He firmly believed that after this day...

Ye Cunxin will surely grow and become an even more outstanding female special forces soldier in the military.

The first female soldier in the Wolf Fang Special Operations Brigade, her future is promising!
……

With the Black Cat incident settled and the K2 conspiracy thwarted, the Asian Youth Games in Donghai City were held as scheduled, attracting guests from all over the world.

The special forces of the Wolf Fang Special Operations Company have once again safeguarded the safety of the people and the dignity of the nation.

Zhang Haiyan was sentenced to imprisonment by the Donghai Intermediate People's Court for meritorious service in counter-terrorism, and was granted a discretionary reduction in sentence.

After organizational review, Ye Cunxin was confirmed to be unrelated to the K2 organization. With special approval from Deputy Commander Tan of the headquarters, he was allowed to continue serving in the Wolf Fang Special Operations Brigade of the Southeast Military Region.

Today's Wolf Fang Battle Zone is no different from any other day.

The distant sky was a clear, deep blue, with drifting clouds and occasional fighter jets whistling past, maintaining the solemn atmosphere unique to special forces.

Red flags flutter and slogans remain atop the barracks walls.

—For soldiers, the most carefree days are always yesterday!
—A soldier should not be afraid of death; if you are afraid of death, you should not be a soldier!

—Iron discipline, iron company, iron style, iron quality—strengthen combat readiness and prepare for war!

New recruits, fresh from the selection process for the Wolf Fang Special Forces, raced through the camp, shouting slogans as they were led by veteran special forces soldiers in a jeep. From inside, a veteran soldier, holding a loudspeaker, jokingly asked the newbies catching dust in the back:
"Answer me! Who is the coolest member of the Wolf Fang team?"

The rookies ran frantically, shouting in unison, "Paratroopers! Paratroopers!"

Another experienced passenger on the bus immediately became displeased:

"Your answers have greatly displeased me as a medic. Five more laps for everyone!"

"Yes!!" The newbies were furious but dared not utter a word.

The veteran was still not satisfied, so he grabbed the megaphone and shouted, "Don't stop! Tell me, who is the dumbest one among the Lone Wolf?"

The rookie hesitated for a moment, then quickly shouted, "Still a paratrooper!"

"Wrong again, five more laps!" The veteran laughed heartily. "Remember this, from now on you have to call him Ostrich! Got it?"

"Ostriches are the dumbest! Ostriches are the dumbest!"

The newbies shouted loud slogans and chased after the jeep in a desperate frantic race.

Zhang Beixing, who had just returned with his team, and the Red Blood Cell team members looked at the scene from afar and couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Wang Yanbing smiled broadly: "This scene is so familiar, it's like seeing you and me from the past."

"Hehe, just kidding, I suddenly feel like training new recruits too."

He Chenguang chuckled: "We're all veterans now, so we'll definitely be there if there's a training mission."

Song Kaifei rubbed his hands excitedly: "That's great! If we get the chance, we'll definitely make those newbies taste the bitterness we went through back then!"

Li Erniu rubbed his empty stomach: "I don't want to think about anything else, I just want to report for duty and eat as soon as possible."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! We can't expect Lao Gao to give us special treatment every day."

At Zhang Beixing's command, the red blood cells marched swiftly forward.

At this moment, a Mengshi vehicle blocked the way not far from the General Staff Headquarters.

The man wearing sunglasses leaned against the car door and waved to Zhang Beixing.

It seems this person came here specifically to wait.

Zhang Beixing let his team members go first, and then slowly stopped.

Looking at Yang Junyu, who was wearing sunglasses and trying to look cool, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but laugh and ask, "What's going on? Is a photographer taking your picture?"

Yang Junyu took off his sunglasses, a smile on his face that said, "You don't come here unless you need something."

"Why take pictures? I'm not a model. I'll just wait for you here."

"Why are you waiting for me?" Zhang Beixing raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is something the matter?"

Zhang Beixing glanced sideways at Yang Junyu, sensing that he harbored ulterior motives.

Yang Junyu chuckled and casually handed over sunglasses with the tags still on:
"How about I give you a gift? Do you like it?"

Zhang Beixing glanced at him warily, but did not answer.

"The weasel is not well-intentioned in offering New Year's greetings to the chicken. Just tell me what it is, otherwise I really dare not accept it."

"You rascal, I didn't buy it." Yang Junyu said with a laugh, annoyed. "It was a gift prepared for us by Zhang Nengliang and his gang. I got one too. It's pretty cool, why don't you try it on?"

Purchased by Zhang Nengliang?
Just as I expected, Yang Junyu is so stingy that even if he asks someone for help, he might not spend any money. At most, he'll just get a couple of steamed buns from the cafeteria.

But since it was purchased in large quantities, there must be something fishy going on!

Zhang Beixing took it with suspicion and casually stuffed it into his pocket.

"I'm busy, so speak quickly."

Yang Junyu walked a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, getting closer to Zhang Beixing:
"Hehe, I do have something to ask of you, and I'd like to ask for your help."

"You speak first."

Seeing that Zhang Beixing was still wary, Yang Junyu sighed softly.

He stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "Sigh, never mind, I'll be frank with you, it's about the old ox."

Old Niu?

"Niu Nuli?"

Upon hearing Niu Nuli's name, Zhang Beixing suddenly recalled Long Xiaoyun's previous warning and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"What's up with him?"

Yang Junyu shook his head to himself and continued:
"Actually, it's nothing serious. You weren't there when the combined arms battalion was officially established. Niu Nuli and I had different ideas, so he voluntarily withdrew. You probably don't know about this."

After listening, Zhang Beixing nodded slowly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

In fact, he had long anticipated Niu Nuli's choice.

Niu worked hard to participate in the combined arms battalion, solely to verify his own capabilities and to prove to the military region that tanks truly deserved their title as the king of land warfare.

As a veteran of ten years, it is normal to have dissenting opinions under the impact of the new ideas of military reform.

When Zhang Beixing heard that Niu Nuli had voluntarily withdrawn from the combined arms battalion, he was not surprised.

If it was just out of pure curiosity, why did Niu Lili withdraw, and why was Yang Junyu looking for him?
"and then?"

Yang Junyu spoke eloquently:

"A few days later, our Ninth Brigade conducted a live-fire simulation exercise, with our combined arms battalion version 2.0 facing off against Niu Nuli's version 1.0."

Zhang Beixing casually hummed in agreement: "What was the result?"

"The result is obvious," Yang Junyu said confidently. "Our combined arms forces, which we have personally trained, were initially all beggars, but now their combined arms combat power is formidable. Although Niu Nuli's 965 held out until the end, they were still no match for the combined arms battalion."

"Therefore, they were defeated by our combined arms battalion. The replacement of the old with the new is an inevitable law for the improvement of the army's combat power. Although Lao Niu did not say it, his will was a little depressed. He felt that he could not support the future of tanks alone, and even had the idea of ​​retiring."

Zhang Beixing seemed to be deep in thought, then suddenly asked, "Was it Zhang Nengliang who defeated him?"

Yang Junyu was taken aback: "How did you know? Did you go to see the performance?"

"No, not at all." Zhang Beixing shook his head. "Alright, that's not important. What exactly do you want with me?"

Yang Junyu cleared his throat and finally got to the point:
"Given the situation, our Ninth Brigade is about to participate in the International Tank Skills Competition."

what?
International Tank Competition?
Zhang Beixing was stunned upon hearing this.

I am really afraid of what will happen.

Just when Niu Nuli was unable to leave the country, the international tank competition arrived as scheduled!

Yang Junyu, oblivious to Zhang Beixing's slightly conflicted expression, continued to chatter on and on beside him. ...

"Our brigade commander's meaning is very clear: Niu Nuli is the armored king of the Ninth Brigade. His strength in the field of tank expertise is beyond doubt!"

"Not to mention the whole brigade, he's outstanding even in the whole army. Niu Nuli must participate in this competition; it's a great thing to win glory for the country."

As he spoke, a cloud of worry settled over Yang Junyu's brow, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"But then he started making a fuss about wanting to be discharged from the army, and his resistance was particularly strong. Zhang Nengliang and I both tried to persuade him, and Ma Hanyuan and the others also took turns to do ideological work with him."

“But no matter who tried to persuade him, it was no use. He was just a stubborn mule, and he wouldn’t drink water even if you pressed his head down.” Yang Junyu raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhang Beixing. “Zhang Nengliang said you might have a solution, so I came to you to give it a try.”

Zhang Beixing suddenly looked up, squinted slightly, and hesitated before saying:
"So...you want me to persuade him to give up on leaving the military?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean." Yang Junyu laughed heartily. "And it would be best if he could participate in the tank competition as well. I have to complete the task assigned by the brigade commander."

"We've worked together before, and since you've accepted the gift, you have to help me with this."

Fearing that Zhang Beixing would refuse, Yang Junyu quickly added, "Those guys Zhang Nengliang have a lot of faith in you, you can't let them down."

After hearing these words, Zhang Beixing pursed his lips, unconsciously frowned, and fell into a brief state of contemplation.

As Long Xiaoyun previously stated, Niu Nuli, who is being targeted by Min Deng, is likely to encounter danger, even life-threatening, if he leaves the country.

After all, Niu Nuli's multi-million dollar bounty is still on the kill list of a certain mercenary organization.

In truth, Niu Nuli's being hunted by mercenaries was ultimately related to himself.

Zhang Beixing naturally couldn't just stand by and watch him venture into danger. Even if Niu Nuli was a top soldier, he couldn't fight against overwhelming odds. (End of Chapter)
