Father, you've been drafted four times already, please spare us!

"Old Zhang, aren't you going to stop him?"

When Lao Ge saw that Chen Nian was going to fight everyone, he panicked completely.

Zhang Zheng merely glanced at Lao Ge sideways and said in a nonchalant tone:

"Chen Nian knows his limits!"

Zhang Zheng's nonchalant attitude annoyed Lao Ge.

"If you had any sense of propriety, would you have done this?"

"A new recruit got beaten up by four or five other new recruit platoon leaders. If word gets out, will we even be able to lead troops anymore?"

"And don't forget, we're planning to apply to higher-ups for a division-wide recruit skills competition. If word gets out, do you think the other recruit companies will agree?"

Zhang Zheng glanced at Lao Ge, a mischievous urge stirring within him:

Do you think Chen Nian can beat them all?

Old Ge had seen Chen Nian's file; Chen Nian was a special forces soldier!

Although Jin Shun and Xie Fei are quite capable, that's only within the company. In the special forces, they wouldn't even be able to get past the threshold, let alone qualify for the competition!

Want to beat Chen Nian?

Are you dreaming?

"Nonsense, if Chen Nian doesn't beat these kids up, I'll consider them clean!"

Old Ge pursed his lips; the result was as expected.

Zhang Zheng, however, disagreed:

"Alright, let's make a bet. I bet Chen Nian can't beat them, and he'll be defeated in an instant!"

Seeing Zhang Zheng's certainty, Lao Ge instantly realized there was something fishy going on.

"I won't gamble. I've never won against you!"

Zhang Zheng chuckled and said nothing more.

"Squad leaders, it's not that I look down on you, I'm saying you're all trash!"

"Come at me all at once, don't waste my time!"

Chen Nian was extremely arrogant, even more so than the spoiled soldier Wang Shifeng led last year.

"Squad leader, go for it! Are the four of you afraid of just one guy?"

"Squad leader, don't be a coward, we're cheering you on!"

"Squad leader, cheer up! Don't embarrass yourself!"

The moment the three-piece set of fire-starting equipment appeared, the four squad leaders were completely stunned.

If you don't dare to fight, then you won't need to lead troops in the future.

"Damn, they're really not treating steamed buns like food! Let's all go for it!"

"I refuse to believe that the four of us can't take him down!"

When young people get together, the worst thing is when there's an "idea king" or a "do-it-all" type. If someone stirs things up, the class leaders won't care about the issue of "bullying the younger ones" anymore.

If I don't pick you up at the station now, I'll really lose face!

Xie Fei gritted his teeth:

"Count me in! I refuse to believe it!"

The four of them got into position. Chen Nian had just been teaching Wang Shifeng the details, but now he was deliberately showing his weaknesses.

With wide, sweeping punches, Chen Nian had already reached the group. Straight punches, hooks, and wild punches—in short, Chen Nian was full of openings.

The four were on high alert and were prepared for a counterattack. Chen Nian was putting immense pressure on them.

But Chen Nian's offensive stance confused the group. What was going on?

They were just teaching the bureau, and now they're doing the same thing themselves?

What does that mean?

Fishing Law Enforcement?

Taking the risk to teach again?

These thoughts couldn't be suppressed and rose in their minds.

Chen Nian was also confused. What's going on with you guys?

Wasn't my flaw obvious enough?

Why aren't you doing anything?

What does it mean to keep hiding?

Was my acting that fake?

Yes, Chen Nian was acting. He got carried away during his fight with Jin Shun and overreacted. He only realized afterwards that if word got out, it could ruin his and Lao Ge's plans.

That's why he acted so arrogantly, just to portray himself as a "talking big" player and thus lull the other recruits into a false sense of security.

But these people wouldn't take the challenge, which really put Chen Nian in a difficult position.

"Sigh, I'm really impressed!"

Chen Nian sighed, strode forward, and closed in on Xie Fei. He raised his fist to strike, and Xie Fei instinctively defended. Chen Nian moved with lightning speed and stealth, deflecting Xie Fei's right elbow. The elbow grazed Chen Nian's shoulder, causing Chen Nian to stagger back a few steps.

"Well done, Squad Leader Xie's got some skills, much better than Squad Leader Jin!"

Chen Nian feigned pain.

Xie Fei glanced at his elbow and wondered to himself, "Am I that bad?"

That last move gave Xie Fei tremendous confidence.

"Heh, kid, arrogance brings disaster, and so does man. Be more discreet in your dealings with others!"

Xie Fei's "show-off" spirit kicked in, and he even started lecturing Chen Nian.

Zhang Zheng pursed his lips and looked at Xie Fei:

"When did Xie Fei become so stupid? Didn't he realize that Chen Nian did it on purpose?"

"Chen Nian, here I come!"

Chen Nian glanced at Xie Fei sideways, cursing inwardly: "A dog's belly can't hold two ounces of oil. Doesn't he know that I hate people who can't pretend to be cool the most?"

Meanwhile, the other three felt more confident seeing that even Xie Fei, the worst fighter, could knock Chen Nian off balance.

They exchanged a glance, then the three of them pressed forward, joining Xie Fei in attacking Chen Nian.

Chen Nian only attacked and did not defend, ignoring the attacks of the other three and letting their fists rain down on him. But Chen Nian was not stupid. He used his strongest points—his back, arms, and legs—as defensive points to withstand their attacks and ensure that he would not be injured.

At the same time, Chen Nian seized the opportunity and unleashed a barrage of blows on Xie Fei.

"Showing off!"

"Showing off!"

"Serves you right for showing off!"

"Keep showing off and I'll make you fly!"

Chen Nian increased the pressure on Xie Fei, unleashing all the attacks the other three had launched at him.

Xie Fei was dumbfounded. What happened?

Unable to withstand the beating any longer, Xie Fei voluntarily withdrew from the group.

Chen Nian also fell to the ground and admitted defeat.

"No, no, class monitor, I give up!"

"You class monitors are too amazing, I can't take it anymore!"

Zhang Zheng, watching Chen Nian's acting, slapped his forehead:

"Wow, if this happened in the Chinese entertainment industry, they'd probably be torn to shreds by criticism!"

Chen Nian lay on the ground groaning, with Xie Fei right next to him.

Xie Fei was having an existential crisis. He knew that fighting wasn't his strong suit, but surely he wasn't this bad!

"The great road is as clear as the blue sky, yet I alone cannot find my way out!"

Xie Fei felt bitter inside. He stood up to face the lamplight and murmured a sentence.

The new recruits looked at Xie Fei and frowned.

"What's going on?"

"Why is Squad Leader Xie reciting poetry?"

Some incredibly talented recruit, seemingly out of nowhere, blurted out:

"You got beaten up, didn't you!"

"Huh? You mean Squad Leader Xie was beaten into writing a poem?"

"What?! Sergeant Xie got beaten to a pulp by Chen Nian?"

"Get out, Sergeant Xie got beaten so badly he soiled his pants!"

Xie Fei: ??? This is terrible!

"Alright, alright, what are you all doing crowding around like that!"

"Don't you have any discipline? Everyone, disperse!"

"Each class should bring them back themselves!"

Old Ge walked out from the back of the crowd with a gloomy face.

"What are you guys doing at night instead of resting?!"

"Get yourselves to the company headquarters!"

"You lot, aren't you ashamed?! What will the new recruits think of you?!"

The new recruits' squad leaders hung their heads, none of them daring to utter a sound.

Wang Shifeng quickly walked over and helped Chen Nian up. Seeing Chen Nian's grimacing face, Wang Shifeng truly believed that Chen Nian was injured.

"Old squad leader, how about it? I'll take you to the medical team now!"

Chen Nian quietly patted Wang Shifeng's arm and lowered his voice, saying:

"My acting skills are probably alright, right?"

Wang Shifeng was taken aback:

"what?"
