Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

The Cheng family's life is getting better and better, while the Xu family's life is the complete opposite, getting worse and worse.

The reason for this is that Xu Baishun is too stubborn.

He wouldn't listen to anyone's opinions. Jackie Chan had hinted at ways to make money to him several times, but he completely ignored them.

The eldest brother, Xu Yile, is completely lacking in intelligence; even after Jackie Chan talked to him for a long time, he still couldn't understand.

The second son, Xu Erhe, listens to Jackie Chan very much and has always had the "ambition" to make a lot of money, but the lack of start-up capital and age are obstacles.

Over the years, Xu Sanduo, the third brother, hasn't grown much taller, remaining at only 1.6 meters tall and not moving around at all. His personality has also become increasingly dull.

Fortunately, thanks to Jackie Chan's early intervention, Xu Sanduo, who already had a good memory, developed clear eyes and consistently achieved excellent academic results.

Even though he was thousands of miles away from Jackie Chan, he easily got into the best high school in the county.

In a normal family facing this situation, they would definitely try to send Xu Sanduo to high school so that he could go to university and at least make a living.

However, this is not feasible in the Xu family.

Nine years of compulsory education does not include high school. Xu Baishun used up all his family's savings to send Xu Sanduo to high school, let alone the even more expensive university.

In addition, Xu Baishun has always been obsessed with the idea that a son in the Xu family must join the army.

The eldest brother, Yi Le, wasn't smart enough and was eliminated in the initial screening. The second brother, Yi Le, wasn't interested in the military and was very cunning; he played some tricks and was also eliminated.

Now only the third brother, Xu Sanduo, remains.

As the last hope of the Xu family, Xu Baishun placed all his hopes on Xu Sanduo and absolutely would not allow any accidents to happen.

Xu Sanduo was introverted and obedient, so he naturally dared not disobey his father's orders and thus enlisted in the army.

Because the county town was a bit far from their hometown, and the preliminary medical examination had already begun, Jackie Chan decided not to go back to his hometown with Cheng Guoqiang, but to wait until after the preliminary examination.

When Jackie Chan went to university, his household registration was not transferred with him; it remained in his hometown.

Therefore, more than a month ago, he called back and persuaded his father, Cheng Guoqiang, to register on his behalf, as his father was a village official.

It was precisely because they knew in advance that the Capital University was going to join the army that their subsequent attempts to contact Cheng Guoqiang after Cheng dropped out of school were unsuccessful.

The two spent the night in the county town.

The next day, Cheng Cai arrived at the hotel to meet them, and the three of them headed straight for the Armed Forces Department.

Cheng Guoqiang even specially wore his old uniform, the new military uniform he brought back when he retired from the army years ago, which he had kept and was reluctant to wear.

Today, both of my sons went to the preliminary hearing together, so as a father, I had to be in high spirits.

Just a few minutes after Jackie Chan and his two companions entered the armed forces department, they were stopped by a guard who was wearing a military uniform but had no rank and was working as a militiaman in the department.

"You must be Jackie Chan. Which village in Xia Rongshu Village are you from?"

The militiaman who was speaking had a very youthful face; he was only seventeen or eighteen years old and just over 1.6 meters tall. You had to look up to see Jackie Chan.

Seeing Jackie Chan, who was two heads taller than him, up close left him completely bewildered.

How could someone grow so tall??

Jackie Chan is used to this kind of gaze; after all, he gets stared at wherever he goes.

Thinking that the guard must have received orders since he knew his name and which village he came from, Jackie Chan replied with a hint of curiosity, "Yes, I am Jackie Chan. What can I do for you?"

Cheng Cai was very dissatisfied with being ignored by the guards, so he came over and introduced himself: "I am Cheng Cai, this is my brother, we are here for the preliminary medical examination."

Cheng Cai's introduction was ignored again, and the militiamen still stared blankly at Jackie Chan.

Cheng Guoqiang patted the militiaman on the shoulder and said politely with a smile, "Young comrade, if you have something to say, just say it. We're in a hurry to report."

"oh oh."

The guard finally realized what was happening and explained with an embarrassed grin, "Jackie Chan is very famous in our county. He's not only the top scholar in the province, but he's also stronger than an ox and looks like a movie star."

I always thought it was fake. How could someone from our small county be so amazing? I never expected to actually meet them in person today! I'm so excited, hahaha!

The guard was clearly not lying; the way he kept clutching his clothes showed how excited he was.

"How could it be fake?"

Upon hearing someone praise his son, Cheng Guoqiang immediately perked up.

"You know Hong Kong, right? A big director named Sen came from there and wanted to hire him to make a movie. He was offered 1 dollars for each movie, but he didn't go."

"Ten...ten thousand?"

The guard's eyes widened like saucers; this amount of money was an astronomical sum to him.

A millionaire! A millionaire!

These days, it's synonymous with being rich.

"1 for a movie, and that's not all. A movie is only an hour or so long, and they make hundreds or even thousands of movies a year."

Cheng Guoqiang had no idea how complicated filmmaking was, and he just spouted nonsense.

Jackie Chan stood by, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but it wasn't convenient for him to explain.

The old father was so focused on praising his older brother that Cheng Cai, feeling ignored, was quite annoyed. He muttered to himself, "I just never had the chance. If I were to act, I'd always been better than my older brother."

The guard was just a mountain boy who hadn't even finished junior high school. He only joined the militia at the armed forces department to get enough to eat, so he didn't know anything about making movies.

He believed what Cheng Guoqiang said.

His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stammered in disbelief, "You must earn millions, tens of millions a year? My God!"

The guards were completely captivated at that moment, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan couldn't stand the guard's "obsession," as if he wished he could become a woman and marry him, so he walked past the guard and went inside.

When the guards saw Jackie Chan about to leave, they finally realized what they had come for.

He quickly jogged after him and said, "Brother Jackie Chan, I almost forgot something important. Our minister specifically instructed that as soon as you arrive, we'll take you to the conference room and treat you well. Why don't you and your uncle come with me?"

"Did your minister specifically give these instructions?"

Jackie Chan's first reaction was a bit strange. Why would the Minister of Armed Forces want to see him specifically? But he understood immediately.

When his father, Cheng Guoqiang, helped him register, he had already submitted all the relevant information about him.

These days, college graduates are guaranteed job placement; every graduate gets a secure job and is highly sought after by local governments.

It's not that there are no conscripts, but you can only see a handful in a single province.

Not to mention he was the top scorer in the province back then!

A soon-to-be college graduate, who had already completed his third year of university and was from the prestigious Capital University, actually dropped out of school at this time, but retained his student status to return and join the army.

With these documents laid out on the table, which armed forces minister wouldn't be confused?

Regardless of the reason, Cheng Guoqiang's smile widened when he heard the minister mention his son. He hurriedly urged, "The minister instructed us to go? Great! Let's go, let's take us there quickly, don't keep the leader waiting."

The county armed forces department occupies a large area, with only two buildings, and you can get there in just a few steps.

Jackie Chan and Cheng Guoqiang arrived at the reception room. Before they could even take a sip of the tea poured by the guards, they heard hurried and chaotic footsteps outside.
