I put you in charge of those rebellious female soldiers, how come they all became top special forces

The next morning, when Chen Zheng woke up, it was still dark.

He came out of the room and glanced habitually down the corridor.

An Ran wasn't there waiting for him like she was yesterday.

Chen Zheng frowned slightly and went downstairs to ask the front desk.

The receptionist was quite polite in telling him that the female leader had gone out early in the morning.

Chen Zheng stood alone in the empty hall, lost in silence.

He then took Li Yue and Jianpan to the research institute.

On the way to the research institute.

Li Yue and Jianpan sat in the back row, barely daring to breathe.

Li Yue also secretly glanced at the instructors in the front row, silently counting in her mind.

This is the third bottle of goji berry water the instructor drank this morning.

Normally, he would only drink one bottle in a morning at most.

Upon arriving at the research institute, Chen Zheng went straight into the laboratory without saying a word and began a heated discussion with the old man named Zhou Jingtang.

As they were discussing this, the system's voice rang in his mind.

[Ding! Team member Li Yue's exclusive side quest has been triggered]

[Task Name: Father's Leg]

[Mission Description: Li Yue's father, Li Jianguo, was a veteran of a border defense unit in Northwest China. Due to years of standing guard in extreme climates, his knees were severely damaged, and he now makes a living by running a bicycle repair stall. One of the main reasons Li Yue joined the army was to earn money to heal her father's legs.]

[Mission Objective: Utilizing current research resources, combined with Lan Meng's component analysis results and Li Yue's own genetic data, to find a treatment plan or key clues for Li Jianguo's knee joint disease.]

[Task Reward: Undetermined (depending on completion)]

Chen Zheng looked at the task panel that popped up in his mind and couldn't help but scratch his head.

This task came at just the right time.

Just when I was looking for something to do, something came knocking on my door.

His gaze passed over Zhou Jingtang and landed on a corner of the laboratory.

Li Yue was squatting on the ground, carefully tidying up her bulging camouflage bag.

Then, Chen Zheng turned to look at Zhou Jingtang.

"Old Zhou, I have an idea."

"Now that we know Li Yue has a special gene expression that makes her physical abilities stronger than the average person, can this gene be activated by external substances?"

Zhou Jingtang raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.

"Among the components of Blue Dream, some are related to genes. Why don't we try to see if it can be used as a targeted drug to precisely act on this gene pathway?"

Chen Zheng's voice wasn't loud, but his earth-shattering remarks silenced the entire laboratory.

"This could not only explain some of the pharmacological mechanisms of Lanmeng, but also lead to a completely new regenerative medicine application specifically for treating degenerative joint diseases."

Zhou Jingtang's eyes lit up immediately.

That's a brilliant idea!

This is no longer just simple drug analysis; it's heading directly towards the broad prospects of military medical applications!

If we can truly embark on this broad road, its value to veterans who have retired due to injuries and are suffering from joint damage and degenerative diseases is immeasurable!

"Sure! Absolutely!" Fang Zhiyuan, who had been silent until now, stood up excitedly and added, "I happen to have a batch of clinical imaging data on degenerative joint diseases, and we can perform cross-comparison immediately!"

"I'll take charge!" Shen Ling stepped forward, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "I can immediately conduct a correlation analysis between Li Yue's genetic data and the clinical database, and build a mathematical model!"

Chen Zheng nodded, then looked at the keyboard in the corner.

"Connect the keyboard to the research institute's intranet system, and use my privileges to access Li Yue's father's medical records."

"Received!" The keyboard instantly perked up, with fingers clattering across the keys.

It was done in less than ten minutes.

Li Yue had no idea what was happening.

I could only sense that the atmosphere in the laboratory had suddenly changed.

The instructors were busier than before, and they spent more time discussing things with the older professors.

Even the keyboard, which is usually engrossed in playing games, was unusually sitting upright in front of the computer, typing with a serious expression.

She curiously leaned over to take a look, and the screen was full of data she couldn't understand.

But in the notes column of one of the forms, she saw a name that was all too familiar—Li Qiangguo.

That's her father's name.

Li Yue clenched her fists instinctively.

She turned her head sharply and looked at the figure on the other side of the lab table who was writing something with his head down. Her lips moved twice, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Meanwhile, An Ran was wandering aimlessly through the streets of Beijing.

She barely slept last night, and her eyes were covered in dark circles.

Even she herself didn't know why she was so angry, nor did she know what answer she wanted from Chen Zheng.

I just felt a tightness in my chest.

As she walked, she passed by a roast duck restaurant with a sign that read "Quanjude".

Thinking back to the lame excuse he made up to come to Beijing to buy roast duck, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She took out her phone and scrolled to her chat with Chen Zheng.

She typed and deleted a line of text, then typed and deleted it again, but in the end, she couldn't send anything.

Just as she was struggling with this decision, her phone suddenly vibrated.

It was a WeChat message from Li Yue: "Captain, the instructor is helping me check my dad's illness."

An Ran was stunned.

Then came another message: "He accessed my dad's medical records and had Keyboard Sister analyze the data with people from the research institute."

Anran held her phone, standing on the bustling roadside, and suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

She knows Chen Zheng too well.

This person is always like this, silently shouldering everyone's burdens alone.

He didn't even promise Li Yue that he would help her father. He didn't need to say a word; he just used every resource at his disposal.

And what about yourself?

I was arguing and throwing a tantrum with him over some inexplicable things.

An Ran took a deep breath, wiped her face haphazardly with the back of her hand, then turned and ran towards the research institute.

In the afternoon, Chen Zheng was having a heated discussion with Fang Zhiyuan in the laboratory about the results of comparing clinical data.

The laboratory door was gently pushed open.

Anran stood at the door, still carrying her backpack.

Their eyes met for a fleeting moment in mid-air.

An Ran was the first to look away, silently walked to the corner, sat down on the stool, and then took out her phone, pretending to play with it.

Chen Zheng glanced at her, said nothing, and turned back to continue his discussion with Fang Zhiyuan.

This time, however, An Ran didn't keep an eye on Shen Ling or anyone else.

She just sat there quietly, occasionally looking up at Chen Zheng's busy back.
