Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 256 Miao Lian's Raging Fury Arrives (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe)

Chen Pai's problem is urgent and must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise what happened in the original plot will continue to happen here.

Jackie Chan was completely unfamiliar with Chen Pai before, so he didn't have much of a reaction to this matter.

We've been together for over a month now, and I've felt Chen Pai's dedication to becoming a special forces soldier and the efforts he's made. I've gotten to know him to some extent.

Jackie Chan was moved by Chen Pai's persistence and admired his efforts.

It would be too cruel to let someone who has worked hard for half their life to become a special forces soldier collapse at the moment their dream is about to be fulfilled.

So Jackie Chan was moved and decided to help him.

After two days of careful consideration, Jackie Chan came up with a solution that wasn't perfect, but for Chen Pai, it was the perfect solution.

However, Jackie Chan needs the consent of two people before implementing this plan.

He first called Chen Pai out separately.

"Chen Guotao, the reason I called you here is very simple. You have a health problem, and I know it's ankylosing spondylitis. Judging from your current condition, you must have already developed the disease before the selection began. Why did you deliberately hide your condition and not report it to us?" Jackie Chan said bluntly.

"Report: It's just a minor illness, nothing serious, I'll be fine in a few days."

Chen Pai thought that Jackie Chan was Zhuang Yan, who was not an expert and did not know about this rare and obscure disease, so he wanted to use his acting skills to fool him.

"A minor illness?"

Jackie Chan frowned and shouted, "You know what the disease is, and you have the opportunity to look it up online. There's no way you don't know how serious it is. You can't fool me."

Cancer is currently incurable and is a chronic, fatal disease. In the early stages, the body will experience pain, which will increase over time, and in the later stages, there is a high probability of paralysis.

This is a disease that could paralyze you, and you're telling me it's a minor ailment?

When Jackie Chan said those words, it was like turning the whole stage upside down.

Chen Pai's face changed instantly, turning extremely pale. He forced a smile and said, "Really, it's nothing, Instructor. I can manage."

"You think you can hold out? In just these past few days, how many times have you been in pain?"

Jackie Chan bluntly exposed Chen Pai's words and further pressured him, saying, "Given your current physical condition, you need to be sent to the hospital immediately for treatment. The training camp selection... you must withdraw."

First, give them a scare tactic, then offer them a treat.

This is the most traditional way of negotiating.

No, that won't do.

Chen panicked and pleaded, "I can't back out. I aspired to be a special forces soldier since junior high school, and I started studying special forces from various countries in high school."

I entered military academy and joined the reconnaissance unit, all in order to become a special forces soldier.

I'm already more than halfway there. If I just persevere a little longer, I'll become a special forces soldier. If I were to give up now, I'd rather be dead.

Chen Pai looked at Jackie Chan with red eyes, and you could see the determination in his eyes.

He truly would rather die than not become a special forces soldier.

"I've never doubted that you could become an outstanding special forces soldier. Your talent and abilities are more than enough to make you shine in the Wolf Fang unit, but..."

Jackie Chan then changed the subject, saying bluntly, "If things continue as they are now, without any changes, given the rate at which your condition is deteriorating..."

I can tell you with certainty that you won't make it to the end of the training camp and selection process.

"Given the enormous risk of a rapidly deteriorating condition, and ultimately still unable to complete the selection process, what's the point of doing it?"

"I……"

Chen Pai wanted to say that he could persevere, but looking into Jackie Chan's fierce eyes, he just couldn't bring himself to say it, because he knew his situation better than anyone else.

He's just barely hanging on right now, and the selection process will only get harder as the training camp progresses.

But after only two seconds of hesitation, Chen Pai's strong will once again prevailed over wavering, and he said firmly, "I will not quit. I choose to persevere until the moment I fall. No matter how far I can go, I will persist until the very last moment."

"Okay, very good."

Jackie Chan was moved by Chen Pai's persistence and softened his tone, saying, "I admire your perseverance. You risk your life to fight for your dreams. I respect you as a true man."

So... I've decided to help you.

"Thank you, instructor!"

Chen Pai's eyes lit up with surprise for a moment, but then dimmed again.

He said helplessly, "Before I came to participate in the selection, I knew that I had a health problem. I had checked all the information I could find."

Having this disease means I'm essentially useless; there's nothing I can do. The only thing I can do is give it my all for my last dream before I become disabled and confined to a wheelchair.

Instructor, I am very grateful that you want to help me, but I know it is of no use.

I don't need any help from you. I would be very grateful if you just didn't tell anyone about my situation and allowed me to hold on until the very end.

Chen Pai is now in despair, and he is running towards hope in despair.

I just want to fulfill my dream!

You're wrong.

Jackie Chan smiled and shook his head, saying confidently, "Although I can't cure your illness, I'm not a miracle doctor, and I don't have any special abilities."

However, I can try to help you, at least to help you persevere until the training camp selection is completed.

And I've already come up with a plan. If you cooperate with me, there's at least an 80% chance, if not 100%, that you'll be able to last until the end of the selection process.

I think that as long as you can truly become a special forces soldier and wear special operations camouflage, even if you retire the next day, you will have no regrets in this life.

After all, while the length of a person's life is important, it's not everything. What matters most is whether one lives a fulfilling and exciting life.

"Really? Can you really help me?"

Chen Pai's eyes lit up again, even brighter than before.

There was surprise, but even more so, disbelief.

At this moment, Chen Pai was like a terminal cancer patient; nothing mattered to him anymore, because the outcome was predetermined.

Before becoming paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair, he fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a special forces soldier in the Chinese Army.

It is Chen Pai's only obsession and his only insistence.

Chen Pai knew that without external help, he would find it difficult to reach the final step. Perseverance was merely a matter of willpower and could not guarantee the outcome.

If Jackie Chan can help him fulfill his dream, he will truly become a second parent to him.

"Of course it's true."

Jackie Chan nodded affirmatively and continued, "However, the process will be a bit complicated. You will need to cooperate with me throughout. I don't know if you can do that."

"Yes, I can, even if it means death," Chen Pai said firmly.

The will in his eyes burned like a raging fire.

"Okay, remember what you said. Leave the rest to me. I'll make the arrangements. I'll call you when I need your cooperation. Go back now," Jackie Chan said.

"yes!"

Chen Pai stepped forward and saluted.

The posture was more standard and solemn than ever before, because it was filled with gratitude for Jackie Chan that he could never repay.

Jackie Chan and Chen Pai completed all the communication, confirmed the attitude of the parties involved, and then found the second key person - the Archbishop Wild Wolf.

Wild Wolf is the primary person in charge of the training and selection process. For Jackie Chan's plan to be implemented, he must obtain Wild Wolf's consent and cooperation.

Jackie Chan confronted Wild Wolf directly and revealed everything about Chen Pai.

"This is outrageous, utterly ridiculous."

Upon hearing that the disease would cause paralysis, the wolf immediately became agitated and shouted, "You must withdraw from the selection and be taken to the hospital immediately!"

He was born to be a special forces soldier, the kind of talent our special forces desperately need. I absolutely cannot allow him to be ruined like this.

Wild Wolf had specifically researched Chen Pai's information, and among all the rookies, he was most satisfied with Chen Pai.

I've already decided in my mind that he'll be the leader of Group B.

Such a highly valued talent is training while ill, showing no regard for his own health, especially since it's a serious illness that could lead to paralysis.

This is something he absolutely cannot accept!

"Don't be hasty, let me finish, Wild Wolf."

Jackie Chan stopped him from rushing out, acting like a wild wolf ready to drag Chen Pai out and send him to the hospital, and gave a detailed explanation of ankylosing spondylitis.

Upon learning that the disease was actually a chronic cancer, which current medical treatment simply could not cure, they were shocked.

The inevitable outcome for Chen Pai is paralysis.

There will be no other outcome!

With the current medical standards that are approaching the millennium, no matter how hard we try, it will only delay things for a few months, and the final outcome will not change.

Watching his most admired talent wither away from this strange disease, he felt powerless to do anything about it.

The wolf was furious and helpless.

Overwhelmed by anger, anxiety, and helplessness, the wolf, feeling utterly frustrated and on the verge of exploding, could no longer control himself and slammed his fist heavily on the table.

"Bang!"

The field folding table wasn't sturdy; it collapsed from the impact of the wolf's punch.

Computer files were scattered all over the floor.

"What happened?"

"Get out!"

The sentry on duty outside the door heard the noise and rushed in. Seeing the mess on the ground, he was chased out by the wolves before he could even say a word.

"Heaven is jealous of talent, alas—"

Jackie Chan was also very sad. He sighed deeply and returned to his original purpose for coming here, saying, "Someone as outstanding and hardworking as him shouldn't have ended up like this. It's a pity that things are unpredictable."

He's so pitiful, God has wronged him, but I want to help him, at least help him fulfill a dream, so he won't have any regrets in his life.

I lost control of my emotions and made a fool of myself in front of you.

Wild Wolf composed himself, taking a few seconds to calm down before saying, "It's truly a case of heaven being jealous of talent. If I can help him, I think I'll do my best."

A sharp tongue but a soft heart—that's the perfect description of a wolf.

Despite his perpetually stern face and tendency to berate rookies, his concern for his soldiers is no less than that for Mada.

He just didn't express it; he and Yuan Lang were actually the same kind of people.

"I want to help him achieve his dream as much as possible, even if it's just for a day as a special forces soldier. Anyway, there are no fixed quotas for selection, so giving him a chance is not too much to ask," Jackie Chan said.

"That's not a good idea. I don't think he'll accept charity," the wolf said, frowning.

Wild Wolf thought Jackie Chan wanted to use his special privileges to get his help to get Chen Pai to pass the test directly and become a special forces soldier of Wolf Fang ahead of time.

No, you misunderstood.

Jackie Chan corrected him, saying, "What I mean is, let him continue to strive for opportunities through his own efforts. I will only provide him with certain conveniences and, for appropriate reasons, reduce the difficulty of his daily training."

Alternatively, we could adjust the training syllabus and appropriately remove some purely physical fitness items.

At this stage of training, the focus is more on technique and intelligence, and the physical requirements are already at a high level. Reducing training will not affect the quality of the selection.

During this time, I will also try my best to find some medications to relieve his symptoms and slow down the progression of his illness.

With this two-pronged approach, addressing both internal and external factors, he should be able to survive until the end of the selection process and fulfill his dream of becoming a special forces soldier.

Before I came, I had already spoken with Chen Guotao. He understands his situation and agreed to my plan. Now all that's left is your approval.

Jackie Chan's arrangements were very meticulous and thorough, and Wild Wolf couldn't find any fault with them. He basically agreed, but there was still one small problem.

"He's Xiao Miao's soldier. Xiao Miao handed him over to me. I can't give him a useless soldier. So, before you carry out your plan, wait for me for a day. I need to call Xiao Miao over. I'll make the call now."

The bond between Wild Wolf and Miao Lian was extraordinary; after saying this, he hurriedly ran outside.

"Black Wolf, come with me to the base."

"yes!"

Black Wolf received Wild Wolf's order and dashed to Warrior's convertible military vehicle. Once Wild Wolf was in the passenger seat, Black Wolf started the car and drove off.

"Miao Lian was indeed a good company commander. It's a pity he was injured back then. Even if he hadn't been able to, he would have been an excellent special forces soldier. His achievements would not have been less than Gao Dazhuang's. Chen Pai was one of his men. He really needs a proper explanation."

As Jackie Chan watched the departing military vehicle, recalling the scene from the original story where Miao Lian grabbed a wolf and howled in grief, he felt even more distressed.

My desire to help Chen Pai is stronger than before.

Wild Wolf was very efficient, or perhaps Miao Lianzhen really cared about Chen Pai.

That night, Wild Wolf drove back to base and called Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company. The next afternoon, Miao Lian personally rushed to the Devil Camp.

As soon as he got off the bus, he shouted that he wanted to see Chen Pai, and his tone even carried an angry tone that suggested he wanted to hit someone.

Jackie Chan happened to be leading a cryptography class when he saw Miao Lian rushing over in a panic, and he could immediately guess what was going on.

It's highly likely that he was too worried about Chen Pai and angry that Chen Pai didn't take his health seriously.

Zhuang Yan already knew about Chen Pai's situation, but he didn't know that ankylosing spondylitis was serious. He thought it was just minor arthritis, just as Chen Pai had said.

Seeing Miao Lian running over in a "raging" manner, he thought she was there to cause him trouble.

It's his fault for not training properly and only thinking about leaving the selection.

I was quite startled at the time!

It wasn't until Jackie Chan called Chen Pai over that Wild Wolf personally led the two back into the car and drove them away.

I didn't look at him even once the whole time.

It was only then that Zhuang Yan suddenly realized that something serious must have happened to Chen Pai.

I suddenly became worried.

The old man frowned, worried about Chen Pai, but he didn't know what was wrong.

Amidst this heavy atmosphere of speculation, Chen Pai and Miao Lian went out for nearly three hours, only returning as dusk approached.

When Chen Pai returned, he looked quite relaxed, while Miao Lian's expression was very serious.

There was a hint of heartache in his seriousness!

Clearly, Chen Pai, through his persistence and tenacity, as well as the characteristics of ankylosing spondylitis, eventually persuaded Miao Lian.

Despite his illness, Chen Pai was able to continue training and selection despite his illness, all for the sake of his dream.

Perhaps it was because he was in a really bad mood, or perhaps he didn't want his personal status to affect the training and selection of the Wolf Fang Brigade.

Miao Lian simply approached the special training instructor, Cheng Long, and asked to speak with Lao Pao and Zhuang Yan for a few minutes.

Jackie Chan had a good impression of Miao Lian, so he called the two of them out and let them chat briefly by the training field.

Miao Lian was very satisfied with Lao Pao and Zhuang Yan for bringing glory to the Night Tigers Company, and hoped they could continue to persevere.

Especially Zhuang Yan.

Miao Lian, full of expectations, once again urged him to persevere in the training camp selection and make up for the regret he had not been able to fulfill back then.

This completely calmed Zhuang Yan's mind and strengthened his resolve to fulfill Miao Lian's dream.

As for passing the selection process and fulfilling Miao Lian's dream.

Zhuang Yan's thoughts remain unchanged!
