Chapter 204: Doubts About Liu Xiaotian

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

There's no way; they couldn't answer Liu Xiaotian's question.

How to say? Is it right or wrong?

This kid clearly latched onto the word "reason" and refuses to let go; what can you do about him? Correct, as a soldier, it's only natural to obey orders.

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

Just like Liu Xiaotian disregarded Chen Shanming's order and insisted on saving Qin Yuxi.

Who dares say he did wrong?

And the real reason we still have to lock this kid up in the confinement room is still because of what Gong Jian said.

He Zhijun didn't continue speaking.

In one, one look `no, one wrong version%!'

Actually, from my personal perspective, I do believe Liu Xiaotian.

If he really had that ability, would we need to specially assign someone to join our Wolf Fang? Wouldn't it be more direct?

If he truly had another hidden identity, it would certainly make his growth process logical; how could we have discovered so many doubts about him so quickly? Unless he's trying to go the opposite way, but that also doesn't make sense.

This has nothing to do with He Zhijun and Fan Tianlei's impression and attitude toward Liu Xiaotian; rather, anyone would have this suspicion.

Fan Tianlei nodded:

Although the army's marriage age regulation is a few years older than the legal age, there's no rule against dating, right? Moreover, given Liu Xiaotian's current demonstrated ability, promoting him in this matter— as long as he can solve quadratic equations, recite the periodic table, and write the alphabet— basically it's a sure thing.

A recruit who was still a novice five months ago, driving people crazy, how did he suddenly undergo a complete transformation? Even if potential and talent are stimulated, can combat experience be stimulated? It must be accumulated through repeated actual combat. And according to Gong Jian's description, Liu Xiaotian's performance clearly shows he is a top-tier special forces soldier with rich combat experience, keen awareness, and formidable fighting power.

He really didn't expect that the usually stern Fan Tianlei would also have such a gossipy side.

"Forget it, for now we'll leave it like this. In the next few days I'll find a chance to report to Deputy Commander Gao and hear his opinion before deciding. What I'm worried about is that Gong Jian's suspicion of Liu Xiaotian, with that kid's sharp mind, will definitely be sensed by him."

He Zhijun stared blankly: "What's the reason for that?"

"After that..."

As a soldier, especially an officer, a unit's supervisor must possess basic vigilance.

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

If we look from this angle, even if Liu Xiaotian and Qin Yuxi spark a romance, there's nothing unacceptable about it.

Fan Tianlei rose from the sofa, softly sighed, and said: "Let's do this: I'll go to the confinement room tomorrow to talk with Liu Xiaotian and confirm his attitude."

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

Not to mention the current Liu Xiaotian; even if it were the former military novice and scientific genius, the arms industry would find it hard to poach him. Tonight, let's just let that kid stay honestly in the confinement room.

"Old He, what do you think—will Liu Xiaotian have problems?"

After Liu Xiaotian left with the two military police soldiers, Fan Tianlei softly sighed and said in a low voice to He Zhijun:

His meaning, Fan Tianlei understood.

After a pause, he continued: "Moreover, judging from Liu Xiaotian's own performance, it doesn't seem like it."

What He Zhijun worries about is that Liu Xiaotian might develop a rift with Gong Jian over this matter; and as two members of the Red Blood Cell Group who often carry out extremely dangerous top-secret missions, once there's estrangement, it's no joke.

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

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, if today's young people really fall in love, do you think they'd proceed step by step 'by the book' like we did back then?"

"Didn't you hear that on the way back, little Qin from the electronics side has been constantly hugging this kid's neck..."

Fan Tianlei's smile grew even wider:

Moreover, both he and Fan Tianlei know Liu Xiaotian's personality is the type that loves and hates distinctly, repays grudges; if he thus develops resentment toward Gong Jian... the consequences would be unimaginable!

"I also think it's like this, logically it doesn't make sense.

He Zhijun shook his head helplessly: "Back when we recruited him into the unit, we had already investigated him thoroughly, right? For this matter, my old comrade who works in the security department almost fell out with me."

He Zhijun:...

And the reasons behind this change, that's even more something that must be investigated clearly.

Even if Gong Jian didn't say anything this time, they will inevitably discover Liu Xiaotian's huge changes later.

He Zhijun thought Fan Tianlei was still saying this because of Gong Jian's recent report, and added: "Right, before we get Deputy Commander Gao's instructions, let's first let this kid stay there; if it turns out he was wronged, worst case I'll personally apologize to him."

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

He Zhijun isn't very sensitive to such matters, but he's not slow; upon hearing Fan Tianlei say that, he immediately reacted, his expression instantly becoming splendid: "Oh? Haha, yes yes, young people should still focus their main energy on training; if they get too absorbed early on... cough cough... their stamina might not keep up."

In other words, no matter how hard we try, using all available connections, it's impossible to snatch a person.

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

Fan Tianlei:...

This guy, either he's slow, or he's just slamming the accelerator— is the gap maybe too big? Fortunately, only the two of them are in the office right now; if others saw He Zhijun's expression at this moment, they'd probably instantly do a 180-degree turn on their impression of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade.

After all, as the Brigade Commander of the esteemed Wolf Fang, to have such an expression— what would his subordinates be like?

In the army, "what kind of person leads what kind of troops" is a recognized "truth"...
