Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

"Hello, Shao Han, it's been a long time!"

Xu Ye wasn't surprised that she recognized him and greeted her with a smile.

To be honest, Shao Han had already been having doubts when she was ordering the noodles!
In the short few minutes it took to cook the noodles, Xu Ye noticed that Shao Han had looked in their direction more than once.

"Shao Han, I'm Chen Chen, do you remember me?" Chen Chen greeted him from the side.

It's better to take the initiative; otherwise, it will be awkward for everyone if the other person doesn't recognize you.

After all, it's not surprising that they could recognize Xu Ye.

Although Xu Ye has changed a lot since junior high school, he is still a celebrity in Luocheng or even their county. He has been in newspapers and on television, so it is normal for Shao Han to recognize him.

As for myself, it's normal that I don't recognize myself since we haven't seen each other for seven or eight years and we weren't familiar with each other in junior high school.

"of course I remember!"

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Shao Han's eyes, "Chen is still so handsome!"

If Chen Chen hadn't introduced himself first, Shao Han really wouldn't have been able to identify who Chen Chen was. The reason he was able to recognize Xu Ye was similar to Chen Chen's guess.

"Haha, no way! Shao Han is even prettier now!" Chen Chen laughed heartily, quite pleased with himself.

He used to be the "class heartthrob," which was one of the few advantages he had over Xu Ye.

However, that was in the past. The current Xu Ye is truly incomparable in every aspect.

"Thank you!"

Shao Han brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and lowered her voice slightly.

"Are you still busy? Why don't you sit down and chat for a while?" Xu Ye glanced at the night market, which was clearly becoming sparsely populated, and invited it.

If some things can be done openly and honestly, then it's best to do them openly and honestly.

It's not just because of Xu Ye's current identity, but also because creating an "accident" to take his life, or even more people's lives, would be no difficulty for Xu Ye.

But Xu Ye would prefer them to be utterly disgraced!
"Wait a moment, I'll go turn off the heat!"

After hesitating for a moment, Shao Han finally made up her mind and agreed.

"I'm sorry to have interrupted your business!" Xu Ye said apologetically.

"It's alright. There aren't many people around anyway. It's a rare opportunity to chat with you two old classmates," Shao Han said with a smile and a calm expression.

Clearly, the ups and downs of life did not break her.

In this respect, the original owner was somewhat inferior to her.

Shao Han worked quickly, turning off the fire and the night light on the stall, then placed two plates of cold dishes on the small table.

"My accommodations are rather basic, and I apologize for any shortcomings in my hospitality!" Shao Han said somewhat apologetically.

Chen Chen didn't know, but Xu Ye's status was different now.

"It's alright, we're all classmates, no need to stand on ceremony," Xu Ye said casually.

“Yes, don’t be shy!” Chen Chen echoed.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Ye took the initiative to speak: "I heard that something happened to your family. Can you tell me about it?"

"You knew already?"

Shao Han was somewhat surprised.

She was trying to figure out how to bring it up when Xu Ye took the initiative to do so.

“Yes, he knows a little,” Xu Ye said, pointing to Chen Chen.

"I've heard it from others, but I don't know the specifics. I heard it's related to Chen Antao?" Chen Chen nodded.

Chen Antao was the real driver who caused the car accident that killed Xu Ye's parents.

Of course, nominally everyone else is still in prison right now!
After all, not only Xu Ye's parents died, but also others. Even though they actively compensated the victims, they were still sentenced to the maximum penalty and will have to wait several years to get out.

"Yes, it's him!"

Shao Han said this through gritted teeth.

……

"What are you going to do?"

In the car, Chen Chen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xu Ye, who was focused on driving, and asked, "Our old classmate is clearly trying to use you as a pawn!"

Right now, they are on their way back to Zhang Guicheng's residence.

"That's normal, but the goal is the same, isn't it?" Xu Ye said calmly.

As for Shao Han using him as a "knife," Xu Ye was not surprised at all. The outcome was probably already predetermined the moment Shao Han "recognized" him.

And that's exactly how things turned out.

These days, businessmen, especially successful ones, all have some kind of blemish on their record.

But not only did they seize someone else's business by trickery, they also imprisoned their parents, forcing a person who had been pampered since childhood to drop out of college and rely on a street stall. Isn't it normal for them to seize a chance to turn their life around?
"that's true!"

Chen Chen said with some emotion.

He naturally understood these principles, but ultimately it depended on Xu Ye's choice.

No matter what choice Xu Ye makes, Chen Chen will stand by his side.

“Besides, isn’t her home a good starting point?” Xu Ye added, “Of course, we can’t completely trust what Shao Han says!”

Finding out the real driver in your parents' car accident is easy, but getting solid evidence is very difficult!

Almost five years have passed, and even if there was evidence back then, it would have been completely wiped out by now.

If they wanted to get Chen Antao in, they would have to find other ways, and the biggest obstacle would be his father.

Even if Xu Ye wanted to use extreme measures, he would have to consider all aspects of the consequences.

It's important to know how capable Xu Ye is; those above are well aware of it. If he doesn't follow the rules, the destructive power he can cause is immense.

After all, if you, Xu Ye, can use extreme measures to deal with Chen Antao's father today, what about tomorrow...?

Some people can't sleep!

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Xu Ye would not act rashly, and Shao Han's appearance undoubtedly gave Xu Ye a good opportunity to intervene.

"Good, it's good that you've thought it through!" Chen Chen said with relief.

Very good, Xu Ye was not blinded by beauty and his mind is still very clear.

There was no way around it; Shao Han had practically offered himself to him just now.

Given Shao Han's natural attributes, even without exquisite makeup or fashionable clothes, her beauty and youthful charm were undeniable. Coupled with her pitiful appearance at the time, she was truly a sight to behold. If Chen Chen were Xu Ye, he admitted that he would have found it difficult to resist her.

"Do you think I'm like you?!" Xu Ye's face darkened. What's this guy thinking all day long?!
Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen made the right decision. We should get him married soon so he can settle down and become more mature.

Otherwise, given Chen Chen's somewhat unconventional personality, he's really not suited for his current job.

Chen Chen's work can be high-profile, but that's about doing things high-profile; as a person, one must be low-profile.

As for Xu Ye? He wanted to keep a low profile, but unfortunately, he couldn't!
"Hey, you know what? As long as you nod, Shao Han will definitely not refuse!"

Chen Chen didn't take it to heart and chuckled, "After all, you not only have the potential to avenge her family, but even if you can't, you're still a great protection for her, aren't you?"

"I'll say it again, I have a girlfriend!" Xu Ye had to emphasize again.

It's normal for men to talk about women when they're together.

Moreover, Chen Chen was right; he could sense it. Xu Ye was no fool either; he wasn't the original "blockhead" and was very perceptive about this.
There's no way around it; since he transmigrated, because he's so outstanding, there are quite a few women, especially beautiful ones, who have feelings for him.

Even so, this was despite him primarily being in the military and having relatively little contact with women.

"Ugh!"

Chen Chen stopped joking and sighed sadly, "He's a pitiful person after all, and an old classmate. If you can lend a hand, Xu Ye, then please do!"

As a young man, Chen Chen also harbored some affection for Shao Han back then.
"Do you even need to tell me? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Xu Ye nodded in agreement.

He was never the kind of person who was overly kind or indiscriminately good-natured, but if what Shao Han said was true and she wasn't lying to him, then she would not only be doing Xu Ye a huge favor, but also helping herself. Xu Ye would naturally be generous in helping her.

As for its use?

That's mutual, isn't it?

As for Shao Han's possible offer of himself in return, Xu Ye can only say that he is not that kind of person!
At most, he doesn't dislike her, but that's only because of the influence of the original owner's memories; it's far from enough to determine Xu Ye's current judgment.

"Ah That's good!"

Chen Chen wasn't serious. He slumped back into his seat, rubbing his slightly full stomach.

To be honest, Shao Han is not only beautiful and academically gifted, but she is also quite skilled at making noodles at her stall. She ate two bowls of these noodles just now.

As they spoke, they returned to the residential area where Zhang Guicheng lived.

"Huh! The light's on? Old Zhang's back?"

Chen Chen noticed the lights on in the house and was somewhat surprised.

He remembered that he had turned off all the lights when he left, so perhaps he was mistaken.

"We'll see when we get there!" Xu Ye said nonchalantly.

Whether Zhang Guicheng came back, Chen Chen forgot to turn off the lights when he left, or a thief broke in, it didn't make much difference to Xu Ye.

"I was just about to call you guys! Where did you go for dinner?"

Just as they reached the door and were about to take out their keys to open it, Zhang Guicheng opened the door from the inside and looked at the two of them with some weariness.

Clearly, today must have been an incredibly busy day!

"We thought you weren't coming back tonight, so we didn't contact you," Chen Chen explained casually.

He quickened his pace, then threw himself onto the sofa and hummed comfortably a few times.

All this eating and shopping must be tiring!
"Old Zhang, have you eaten yet?"

Xu Ye picked up the several plastic bags in his hand, which contained the extra food they had bought but hadn't eaten.

"It's delicious!"

Zhang Guicheng didn't mind at all, took it directly, took out a cold fried dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, saying with some delight.

I've been running around all day, I'm exhausted, and I haven't had a good meal either. Right now I'm both tired and hungry.

"Don't you have a microwave? Heat it up before you eat!" Xu Ye reminded him.

Xu Ye was very familiar with Zhang Guicheng's eating habits. After every grueling training session, his soldiers always looked the same. It seemed that Zhang Guicheng had suffered quite a bit today.

That's true. It's perfectly normal for criminal police officers, especially those who have a mentor captain, to be busy and tired.

If you want an easy life, become a household registration police officer!
However, most of them were women.

"Wait a minute, it'll be ready soon!"

Stimulated by the food, Zhang Guicheng regained his energy and rushed to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Xu Ye offered no explanation.

Chen Chen was already full, but if he wanted, he could still eat some more with Zhang Guicheng later.

While the microwave was heating the beer, Zhang Guicheng took a few cans of beer from the refrigerator and came out of the kitchen.

"No, I'm still holding on!" Chen Chen quickly refused.

Tonight, Chen Chen drank alcohol and then vomited, so it was practically the same as not drinking at all. But he felt that he really couldn't eat anything right now.

"Let me have a drink with you!" Xu Ye offered, taking the beer. "But let's make it clear first, you'll be going to work tomorrow, so we can't drink too much."

Xu Ye guessed why Zhang Guicheng was able to return tonight: it was because of him, because Zhang Guicheng's master, Wan Yufan, had shown him goodwill.

I knew I couldn't hide it from you!

Upon hearing Xu Ye's words, Zhang Guicheng knew that Xu Ye had guessed it and was not surprised.

Zhang Guicheng knew how smart Xu Ye was when he was in high school.

"It seems the case is progressing smoothly!"

Xu Ye smiled, opened a beer, and casually placed it in front of Chen Chen.

Whether he drinks or not is his business; whether they give him or not is their business.

As expected, Chen Chen only gave Xu Ye a "resentful" look and ultimately did not object.

"Ok!"

Zhang Guicheng did not deny it.

"They're just a few audacious idiots. We'll catch them soon, but I can't say more about the specifics."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Guicheng added something else.

Before the case is solved, as a member of the special task force, I should not disclose anything about the case to outsiders.

However, firstly, the two sides had a very good relationship, and Zhang Guicheng trusted them both very much. Secondly, this was just a rule, and it wasn't being strictly enforced at the moment. Besides, Zhang Guicheng hadn't revealed much more.

"The more 'idiotic' someone is, the more destructive they are!" Xu Ye remarked casually.

Sometimes, it's not the smart people that are scary, but rather the reckless "fools" who cause even greater damage.

Because smart people consider too many things, which actually prevents them from causing too much damage. On the other hand, "fools" don't consider too many things and just act recklessly, which can cause even greater damage.

"It really is!"

Zhang Guicheng slapped his thigh and said.

Thinking back to the case files he had read and the cases he had solved with his master, it was indeed true.

"Alright, since the case hasn't been solved yet, let's stick to the rules and not talk about this anymore. Let's have a drink!" Xu Ye didn't delve deeper into the topic.

"Alright, let's have a toast!" Zhang Guicheng bumped hands with Xu Ye, then looked at Chen Chen: "Hurry up, stop pretending to be dead!" (End of Chapter)
