In another sense, Zhang Beixing's decisive action at the time saved the lives of millions.
Among those saved were herself, her mother, and her dear comrades.
As for her father, Black Cat, whom she had never met since childhood, Ye Cunxin didn't really have much of a connection with him. There was no affection between them, and Black Cat never seemed to treat her as a daughter.
Only afterward do I feel a pang of regret for the mistakes my mother made when she was young.
Fortunately, all the suffering is now over. This is all thanks to Zhang Beixing.
From the bottom of her heart, Ye Cunxin felt far more gratitude than resentment towards Zhang Beixing.
The two walked side by side on the ground of the camp, which was covered with a thin layer of snow, leaving behind a trail of winding footprints, large and small.
The two, each lost in their own thoughts, occasionally exchanged glances, touching a soft spot in each other's hearts. But when their eyes finally met, they fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Just then, a pleasant telephone ring broke the silence.
I don't know if I'll meet you again in the next life, so in this life, I will try my best...
Zhang Beixing answered the phone and said "Hello".
"I am Long Xiaoyun."
The voice on the microphone was cold and concise, immediately revealing the speaker's identity.
Zhang Beixing hummed in agreement and replied casually, "I can tell. What brings you here, Captain Long?"
Long Xiaoyun's voice was completely flat: "You should give me a reasonable explanation for the unauthorized deployment of the Wolf Warrior Squadron for cross-border operations."
Zhang Beixing chuckled, paused for a moment, and then explained seriously, "There's no other way. It's a classified mission, so we have to keep it secret beforehand. And if we want to take down Old Cat quietly, this is undoubtedly the best way."
As he spoke, a thoughtful look appeared in Zhang Beixing's eyes.
"You called me specifically to confront me, surely it wasn't just to interrogate me?"
"Humph……"
Long Xiaoyun chuckled softly. She was also a decisive and efficient woman who disliked dragging things out, which was somewhat similar to Zhang Beixing.
There are two things.
Please advise.
"First, based on the intelligence you obtained, we have clearly pinpointed Minden's movements. We are confident that we can intercept him before he crosses the border and completely destroy the genetic weapons in his possession."
Zhang Beixing said solemnly, "Without Lao Mao protecting him, and only a few terrorists under his command, he can't cause any trouble at all. I believe you will handle it properly."
"What's the other thing?"
Long Xiaoyun sighed softly and said in a low voice, "You need to be prepared. Once a secret is known by many people, it's no longer a secret. You can't expect everyone to keep your secrets."
Although Long Xiaoyun did not name names or specify the details, Zhang Beixing understood immediately.
"You mean this will cause me a lot of trouble?"
“That’s right,” Long Xiaoyun said briefly. “Just like you said, this matter could be big or small. But there will definitely be repercussions. I hope you are mentally prepared.”
Hearing Long Xiaoyun's caring reminder, Zhang Beixing solemnly expressed his gratitude:
"Thank you. But I never regret what I've done, because it's pointless. I'll meet force with force, and I'll face whatever comes my way. As long as I'm wearing this uniform, my resolve will never change."
Hearing Zhang Beixing's "bold and arrogant" words, Long Xiaoyun on the other end of the phone couldn't help but chuckle. Although it was a chuckle, it contained more admiration than anything else.
"Good luck."
"Bye-Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Bei, the bank manager, exhaled a breath of stale air. Carbon dioxide and water vapor condensed into frost in the air, and white mist gently swirled.
"Go ahead and do what you need to do. Teacher Zhang Yingying must have been waiting for you for a long time," Ye Cunxin said considerately.
Zhang Beixing smiled sheepishly: "Okay. Then you can continue training. If you have any questions, remember to come to me right away, don't hesitate to ask."
Ye Cunxin smiled broadly: "Of course! You're my brother!"
Zhang Beixing jogged to the dormitory building where Zhang Yingying lived. Sure enough, Zhang Yingying didn't even go upstairs; she was waiting for him downstairs.
"Why did you finally decide to come?" Zhang Yingying asked reproachfully, her eyes filled with resentment.
Zhang Beixing secretly thought to himself: Women really are all hypocritical "liars".
There was no point in saying more, so I simply changed the subject:
"Come on, I'll take you to eat. It's been so long since you've had Old Gao's cooking, you must be really craving it, right?"
Zhang Yingying nodded readily, her face slightly flushed:
"Wait a minute. I need to use the restroom; my stomach hurts a bit."
what?
Stomachache?
Could it be...?
Zhang Beixing's brain was working at lightning speed, searching for the best "solution".
After a moment of silence, he looked at Zhang Yingying seriously and said, "Nonsense! You're so thin, where would you get a belly?"
Zhang Yingying: "..."
Although somewhat speechless, Zhang Yingying still smiled happily.
His lips were practically curled up to the sky.
"you're right!"
Then, Zhang Yingying turned around and skipped away upstairs.
Zhang Beixing watched Zhang Yingying go upstairs, and only after her figure finally disappeared did he let out a long sigh of relief, muttering to himself with lingering fear:
"Women are truly amazing creatures..."
When war breaks out, the People's Liberation Army will stand up and block the bullets from the front line.
This is never just empty talk.
Countless wars, large and small, fought over the decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China have proven that the army is the people's army.
However, for special forces soldiers, their mindset consists only of war and preparing for war, not peace.
Therefore, they always stood on the first line of defense against the enemy and used their life's blood to defend the dignity of the country.
The nation will not fail any soldier who sheds blood and sacrifices his life. Therefore, the Red Cell Squad, which has experienced several brutal battles in the past year, has been awarded the longest vacation in the history of the Wolf Fang special forces due to its numerous military achievements.
Everyone cheered.
Zhang Beixing received a warm welcome from all the team members upon his return to the base dormitory.
Before leaving, He Chenguang, the deputy captain entrusted with an important task, stood at attention and saluted with a spirited voice, just like a vigorous little tiger.
"Welcome back, Captain!"
Li Erniu simply walked up and gave him a bear hug.
"Oh, Brother Zhang, I've missed you so much!"
Zhang Beixing said with disdain, "Ouch, be gentle, Erniu, you're almost strangling me to death."
Wang Yanbing, who was standing to the side clapping, had a face full of regret and sorrow.
"It's a pity we couldn't fight alongside you overseas, Captain. I always feel a bit uneasy about it."
With his arms crossed, Song Kaifei chuckled and said, "I bet the captain's getting promoted again this time, right?"
Zhang Beixing retorted irritably, "Promotion my foot! It's good enough if you're not demoted!"
Completely bewildered, Song Kaifei scratched his head, looking aggrieved.
"Hey, what did I do to deserve this? Can't I even congratulate you on your promotion in advance?"
Zhang Beixing was taken aback and smiled apologetically.
"Sorry, I'm just used to teasing you."
"Hahahaha!!" The group laughed mercilessly at Song Kaifei, who was always getting the short end of the stick.
"Woof woof woof!" Caesar, who was squatting at the door, didn't forget to bark twice to add fuel to the fire.
Zhang Beixing looked around the familiar base and cleared his throat with his comrades.
"Since everyone thinks so highly of me, I'll continue the grueling training starting tomorrow."
"Oh no, really?"
"Damn it, this is outrageous! Our holiday isn't even over yet!"
The men immediately began to wail and scream in agony.
"Longlong, I miss you so much!"
Song Kaifei said cheekily, "Hey Captain, I heard the brigade has a new mission to train rookies next month. We finally have a day off, can't we just relax a bit?"
Training newbies?
Hearing Song Kaifei's words, Zhang Beixing glanced at him: "Where did you hear that the brigade has already begun preparing to form a new special operations team?"
"Of course I am! The information I gather is definitely accurate!" Song Feikai shamelessly boasted. "I heard they've even assigned combat unit numbers."
Everyone curiously gathered around, wanting to find out more from Song Dabao.
Song Kaifei lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I heard that this special operations team is named—Wolf Hunter!"
"Shhh!!"
The moment the words left his mouth, he was met with merciless contempt from everyone.
Li Erniu gave a disdainful snort.
"Don't underestimate me just because I'm not well-educated. We, the Wolf Fang, are supposed to be wolves, so why are we forming a 'Wolf Hunter' group? That's just too unlucky!"
Wang Yanbing burst into laughter: "Hilarious! Your super hearing must be malfunctioning."
Faced with the merciless mockery of several people, Song Kaifei looked embarrassed and said in a lack of confidence, "Well... maybe I misheard, but there must be the character for 'wolf' in the name!"
Zhang Beixing, feeling rather uninterested, prepared to go to bed.
After wandering around the military area with Zhang Yingying all day, I felt like my body was about to fall apart. I've never been this tired even during wartime!
"I knew you wouldn't have any useful information to share."
Song Kaifei was ruthlessly scorned.
He said urgently, "No, please give me some face."
He Chenguang smiled and said, "The pilot should go wash up and go to bed."
Song Kaifei was furious: "I still have news about Zhuang Yan here, do you want to hear it?!"
what?
News of Zhuang Yan?
Zhang Beixing, who was just about to go to bed, became instantly interested when he heard Xiao Zhuang's name.
Since their parting at Ma Family Manor, they haven't had a chance to meet again, and they don't know how far their investment in the TV series has progressed.
Seeing the interest on everyone's faces, Song Kaifei immediately felt proud again.
"Hey, let's see who still dislikes me..."
Song Kaifei has a firm grasp on the shamelessness aspect.
Zhang Beixing silently gave him a sharp rap on the head from behind.
"Stop dawdling and say what you're doing if you don't want to die."
Song Kaifei covered his head, on the verge of tears, and sneaked out to look around before finally returning.
Then he secretly took a cell phone out from under the bed board.
Li Erniu exclaimed in surprise, "You're breaking the rules!"
"Take it or leave if you don't want to." Song Kaifei spat as he spoke.
Li Erniu chuckled shamelessly and said, "Look."
When Song Kaifei opened his phone, a trending topic at the top of Weibo caught their attention.
—I'll save the last bullet for my movie!
As Zhang Beixing casually scrolled down the list, his eyes unconsciously brightened slightly.
—A veteran's journey of memories: his youthful military years!
—He joined the army for love, only to lose his beloved! So heartbreaking!
—The novel "Bullet" has become a huge hit, making it extremely difficult to find a copy!
News about the last bullet came flooding in.
Simply put... Xiao Zhuang is famous!
The IP industry has been booming since the beginning of 2015.
The creation and birth of the IP concept has rapidly driven the rise and development of more and more related industries. Some big players who have mastered IP resources early on may have made a fortune and gained both fame and wealth in just a few years.
What is IP?
An IP originates from the ideology of a story. First, it possesses originality, derivativeness, interactivity, and a fan base. Second, it can resonate with people culturally and emotionally.
Many people think that an IP is a novel, a movie, or a person, but strictly speaking, they are just the carriers of the IP.
IP's inherent traffic is an emotional attachment carried by a concrete image.
Just like the hugely popular animated film "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" a few years ago, Monkey King is a super IP that has endured for the Chinese people and carries their emotions.
A little kid once asked in the movie theater, "Mom, isn't this an animated film? Why are so many uncles and aunties watching it?"
The child's mother replied with a smile, "Because they were all children once too. Everyone was waiting for the Monkey King to return, and as they waited, they grew up."
For the Chinese people, the Monkey King is a super IP that has endured for a long time and carries their emotions.
Xiao Zhuang, who has the dual identity of writer and director, was fortunate enough to become one of them after many trials and tribulations.
Xiao Zhuang is famous!
His autobiographical novel, "The Last Bullet Is for Me," became a huge hit, and the accompanying merchandise and publications also achieved new sales peaks.
The popularity of the TV series, which closely reflects the real military life and depicts the joys and sorrows of the characters, once made "Bullets" the top trending topic.
Major domestic media outlets are rushing to report on it.
Even traditional newspapers and military media are vying to introduce this groundbreaking story of a military career.
People are talking about it everywhere.
The posters on the walls of the bus shelters all testify to the novel's immense popularity.
It once surpassed popular IPs like "Battle Through the Heavens" on the bestseller list, firmly occupying the number one sales position.
Printing plants and publishing houses all experienced a temporary shortage of supplies.
Its unprecedented popularity has left countless industry professionals speechless.
Xiao Zhuang's sudden emergence has made many well-known directors and screenwriters feel ashamed.
It turns out that military-themed dramas aren't just about romance and hot-blooded men; audiences can also appreciate them.
The acting skills of countless young male celebrities have been criticized, and the market has been ruthlessly impacted.
Xiao Zhuang has been nominated for three awards this year: Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Writer!
I'll say it again: Xiao Zhuang has really become a sensation.
Seeing the overwhelming news online, Zhang Beixing felt genuinely happy for Xiao Zhuang.
He is the biggest behind-the-scenes investor in this TV series. After it became a hit, the revenue sharing is conservatively estimated to bring him at least 50 million yuan.
However, none of this matters. Zhang Beixing, who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, doesn't care about these monetary figures.
Wang Yanbing suddenly started wailing and howling.
"Oh dear, my brain!" (End of Chapter)
