Chapter 103

Regarding Liu Xiaotian's question, the two 'heads of the household' of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade chose collective silence.

There's nothing we can do; they simply cannot answer Liu Xiaotian's question.

: no names.

This kid is clearly fixated on the word "reason" and won't let go—what can you do about him? Exactly, as a soldier, one's duty is to obey orders.

But in certain special circumstances, it is also necessary to be flexible.

Liu Xiaotian, Chen Shanming, Qin Yuxi

: none.

Liu Xiaotian, Gong Jian, Jinbi Shi

A new recruit, five months ago he was so green it drove people crazy—how did he suddenly undergo a complete transformation? Even if his potential and talent were stirred, can combat experience really be stirred up? It must be accumulated slowly through repeated actual combat! And according to Gong Jian's description, Liu Xiaotian's various performances clearly indicate he is a top-tier special forces soldier with rich combat experience, keen awareness, and formidable fighting power.

Liu Xiaotian, He Zhijun, Fan Tianlei

As a soldier, especially as an officer leading a unit, basic vigilance is something one must possess.

Even if Gong Jian didn't mention it this time, they will inevitably notice Liu Xiaotian's huge change later.

And the reasons behind this change must be investigated thoroughly.

Liu Xiaotian, Discipline Squad

Also Fan Tianlei, He Zhijun appear

"Old He, what do you think—could Liu Xiaotian have a problem?"

Liu Xiaotian, He Zhijun, maybe Security Department

Moreover, perhaps everything else could be faked, but could Liu Xiaotian's résumé and his teachers from kindergarten to university all have been specially arranged?

If they had that capability, would they really need to go through the trouble of specially arranging for someone to join our Wolf Fang? Wouldn't it be more direct to do something else?

: none.

"I also think it's like that; logically it doesn't make sense.

If some organization backed by a certain power or national background could really arrange such a seamless setup within our country, there would be absolutely no need to send this painstakingly cultivated genius into Wolf Fang.

In other words, no matter how hard we strive or how many connections we use, it would be impossible to snatch that person away.

Not to mention the current Liu Xiaotian; even if it were that former military novice and scientific genius, the defense industry would find it hard to poach him.

And for any department, arranging for such a talent would be far more important than placing him in our Wolf Fang.

He paused, then continued: "Moreover, judging from Liu Xiaotian's own performance, it doesn't seem that way."

If he truly had another hidden identity, his growth process would certainly have to be logical—how could we have uncovered so many doubts so quickly? Unless he's trying to go the opposite way, but that also doesn't make sense!

He Zhijun's face showed a faint bitter smile as he waved his hand and said:

Liu Xiaotian, Deputy Commander Gao

: none.

: none.

He Zhijun, Fan Tianlei

What He Zhijun worries about is that Liu Xiaotian might develop a rift with Gong Jian over this matter; as two members of the Red Blood Cell Group who often carry out extremely dangerous top-secret missions, any estrangement would be no laughing matter.

Moreover, both he and Fan Tianlei know Liu Xiaotian's personality is one of clear loves and hates, repaying grudges; if he were to resent Gong Jian because of this… the consequences would be unimaginable!

Fan Tianlei rose from the sofa, let out a light sigh, and said: "Well then, I'll go to the confinement room tomorrow to talk with Liu Xiaotian and confirm his attitude."

"For tonight, let's just have that kid stay honestly in the confinement room."

He Zhijun thought Fan Tianlei was saying this only because of Gong Jian's recent report, and added: "Right, before we receive Deputy Commander Gao's orders, let's just have the kid stay there; if it turns out he was wronged, I'll personally apologize to him."

Unexpectedly, after hearing that, Fan Tianlei suddenly laughed: "Old He, you're also up there in age—don't you see anything? I said to have the kid stay in the confinement room tonight, not because of what Gong Jian said."

"In fact, from my personal perspective, I believe in Liu Xiaotian."

He Zhijun stared, bewildered: "Then what's the reason for that?"

Fan Tianlei

Liu Xiaotian, Qin Yuxi, maybe Xiao Qin refers to Qin Yuxi

But also note that "Xiao Qin" could be interpreted as "little Qin", but it's a nickname. We'll include

He Zhijun (just a name with ellipsis)

He really hadn't expected that the usually stern Fan Tianlei would actually have such a gossipy side.

Although the military stipulates that the marriage age is a few years above the legal age, there's no rule against dating, right? Moreover, given Liu Xiaotian's current demonstrated ability, promoting him on this matter— as long as he isn't incapable of solving cubic equations, memorizing the periodic table, or writing the alphabet—basically it's a sure thing.

From that angle, even if Liu Xiaotian and Qin Yuxi spark something, there's nothing unacceptable about it.

Seeing He Zhijun's expression, Fan Tianlei knew this old comrade again couldn't keep up with his pace, so he had to speak plainly: "Old He, nowadays if young people really fall in love, do you think they'd proceed step by step, 'by the book,' like we did back then?"

He Zhijun wasn't particularly sensitive about such matters, but he wasn't slow either; hearing Fan Tianlei's words, he instantly grasped it, and his expression instantly became animated: "Oh? Haha, yeah, yeah—young people should still focus their main energy on training; if they get too absorbed too early… cough cough… their stamina might not keep up."

Fan Tianlei

This guy—either he's slow on the uptake, or he just slams the accelerator; isn't the gap a bit too big? Fortunately, right now only the two of us are in the office; if anyone saw He Zhijun's expression at this moment, they'd probably do a 180-degree turn on their impression of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade.

Wolf Fang, Brigade Commander

In the military, "who leads what troops" is a widely accepted "truth"...
