Chapter 40

In the office of the instructor of the Strong Soldier Training Camp.

Ye Dongjian, Lin Zhonghu, and Wu Kunming had bruises and purplish marks on their faces, and the military uniforms they wore were tattered. All three of them had very unhappy expressions.

Ye Chen sat in a chair with his legs crossed, and said with a smacking of his lips, "Uncle, Uncle Wu, Instructor Lin, you need to train more in the future! I didn't even use my full strength, and you ended up like this. Remember, you are all high-ranking talents in the Chinese military. If this gets out, people will laugh at you."

Ye Dongjian and the other two rolled their eyes repeatedly, recalling how Ye Chen had caught up to them and started a fierce beating without any warning, leaving them completely defenseless. In their eyes, Ye Chen was a freak, a monstrous existence, which repeatedly bruised their self-esteem.

"Chen, Uncle Wu has a favor to ask, okay?" Wu Kunming, with his bruised face, managed a smile, which looked very comical.

Ye Chen asked in confusion, "Uncle Wu, what is it?"

"Uncle Wu wants to invite you to the Beijing Military District to help train the young soldiers under me. Don't worry, Uncle Wu won't treat you badly. I'll make sure you get a rank of Major General, and after you get familiar with things, I'll promote you to Lieutenant General. Just say the word, and I can arrange for you to go to the Beijing Military District right away." Wu Kunming's eyes sparkled with determination.

Ye Chen didn't say anything, but Ye Dongjian and Lin Zhonghu almost spoke at the same time, "No."

"Lin Zhonghu, Ye Dongjian, I'm asking Chen's opinion. What does it have to do with you two?" Wu Kunming said irritably, determined to secure Ye Chen, a versatile genius, today.

"Big Black Bear, Chen is my nephew, and he should stay to help me train my shooting team." After seeing Ye Chen's shooting skills, Ye Dongjian had long had this idea.

"Didn't you say Chen was trained by you? Isn't the shooting team enough with you?" Wu Kunming smiled slightly.

"Both of you stop talking for yourselves. Chen has already joined my Leap Forward Team. He is a member of the Leap Forward Team." Lin Zhonghu, who knew Ye Chen was very powerful, didn't want him to leave the Leap Forward Team this time.

"Lin Zhonghu, what do you mean? When I first tried to get Chen into your Leap Forward Team, you refused to take him. Now I want Chen to join my shooting team." Ye Dongjian said firmly.

Seeing the three men argue over him, Ye Chen said nonchalantly, "Gentlemen, you haven't even asked for my opinion yet. I don't plan to stay in the military district. I'm leaving soon."

"No, how can that be?" The three men said in unison, their opinions surprisingly unified on this issue.

"Chen, I'm staying at the Strong Soldier Training Camp for a few days. Can you stay with Uncle Wu for a few days? Uncle Wu has always been good to you, right? Have you forgotten the good times when you were young?" Wu Kunming could see Ye Chen's firm stance and knew he needed to involve his father.

Wu's father, after all, was the second-in-command of the Chinese military. If he knew about Ye Chen's extraordinary abilities, he would definitely try his best to get Ye Chen into the military. The Wu and Ye families have always had a good relationship, and Wu's father and Ye's father were very close friends in their youth.

"When did I agree to you staying at the Strong Soldier Training Camp?" Ye Dongjian said unhappily.

"Whether you agree or not, I have a mission here in Tianhai. Look at this." Wu Kunming pulled out a document with an official seal and continued, "The higher-ups have given us the authority to mobilize all national forces when necessary. So, you can't stop me from staying at the Strong Soldier Training Camp."

"Big Black Bear, you're using your position for personal gain now?" Seeing the official document, Ye Dongjian was speechless.

"Chen, just stay at the Strong Soldier Training Camp for two days. If you still don't want to join the Beijing Military District by then, I won't force you." Wu Kunming said.

"Wu Kunming is right, Chen. Stay here for a while, and we can talk things through." Lin Zhonghu knew that keeping Ye Chen here was the top priority. If Ye Chen left, he wouldn't be able to convince him to stay in the Leap Forward Team.

"Chen, you need to recognize who your uncle is. Join my shooting team right now." Ye Dongjian directly used his authority as an elder.

Ye Chen, annoyed by the three middle-aged men's constant chatter, said, "I have no interest in joining the military. I came to Tianhai to train and strengthen my body."

Ye Dongjian's face darkened, but he realized he could only use a softer approach. If his nephew was taken by the other two, he would lose face as an uncle.

In the end, under Ye Dongjian's persistent persuasion, Ye Chen reluctantly agreed to stay at the Strong Soldier Training Camp for two days.

Of course, Ye Chen didn't forget that Fang Nanxiang was still waiting outside the camp. He originally wanted Fang Nanxiang to go back, but Fang insisted on waiting for two days to leave with Ye Chen. Ye Chen had no choice but to have his uncle arrange a temporary dormitory for Fang Nanxiang.

As for Zhao Qihua's illness, it wasn't urgent. The toxins in his body had been completely cleared by Ye Chen, so there was no immediate danger.

Leaving Fang Nanxiang in the dormitory felt awkward, so Ye Chen took him on a tour of the Strong Soldier Training Camp. Many soldiers who saw Ye Chen looked at him with awe and admiration. Many had witnessed his matches with Wu Kunming's men and considered him a role model.

Fang Nanxiang noticed the soldiers' reactions and became even more curious about this young man with exceptional medical skills. To earn the respect and admiration of many soldiers in the military, one had to be so powerful that they could only look up to you.

Fang Nanxiang was once an excellent special forces soldier. Since his retirement, he hadn't returned to the military. This time, stepping into the Strong Soldier Training Camp with Ye Chen, he felt as if he had returned to many years ago, and the long-dormant blood in his body boiled once again.
