I knew you could do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brothers and Nie Huaishang’s friends were all joyful—except Fan Tianlei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his three pre-selected team members were gone, and he’d had to agree to Nie Huaishang’s demand—how could he be happy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Zhang Xiaofan’s celebration banquet, Xiao Zhuang excitedly took photos and toasted him: “Xiaofan, congratulations on getting into the National University of Defense Technology.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In two years, you’ll be taking the college entrance exam too—I’m already wishing you success.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaofan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll take your good wishes—I’ll definitely get in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhuang raised his cup and drained it in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Guo Jing’s celebration banquet, Gou Tou Lao Gao showed up too, though his face looked haggard—probably from the recent investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he offered Guo Jing his congratulations: “Not bad—I didn’t expect you to score so well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gao Shu, you came, but why bring gifts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing couldn’t help but complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s your college celebration—how could I come empty-handed? Just take the gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The celebration passed pleasantly, and the next day, Guo Jing sought out Gou Tou Lao Gao to inquire about the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Haiyan is definitely suspicious—her company has massive untraceable funding, and those two assassins clearly care deeply about her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Gou Tou Lao Gao’s words, Guo Jing was thrilled and immediately logged onto the chat group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing: “Everyone, Gao Shu has found something suspicious about Zhang Haiyan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang: “So fast? This High School Team really moves quickly—only a few days have passed, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chu’an: “I have to admit, this High School Team is dedicated—finding this out so quickly is surprising.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing: “Exactly—Gao Shu looks exhausted now; he must’ve spent a lot of energy. But during this time, he discovered irregularities in Zhang Haiyan’s funding sources.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But given Zhang Haiyan’s extensive network, it’s hard to act openly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang: “No problem—our goal is to kill the Black Cat. Zhang Haiyan isn’t our main target; arresting Secretary Yao shouldn’t face much resistance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, I believe the Black Cat didn’t leave only Secretary Yao as a mole—when the message comes back, I don’t believe the Black Cat will stay calm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing comforted Gou Tou Lao Gao: “Gao Shu, if you can’t bring Zhang Haiyan in for interrogation, what about her close associates—her secretary or driver? Would they be just as hard to deal with?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gou Tou Lao Gao paused thoughtfully: “Probably not that difficult—but I’m afraid we’ll alert the enemy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gou Tou Lao Gao’s hesitation, Guo Jing checked in with his group members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing: “Gao Shu is still hesitant—what should we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang: “Given Zhang Haiyan’s strength and connections, the High School Team’s caution is understandable. But you can tell them we’re willing to assist in the investigation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’ll make our future operations easier, and we’ll earn credit when it’s done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing: “Alright, I’ll try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing told Gou Tou Lao Gao: “Gao Shu, I have a few friends—the ones I met in Tai’an.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gou Tou Lao Gao suddenly understood: “Oh, you mean those friends who helped you capture the assassins? They’re quite capable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly—we all applied to military academies and will enter the army eventually, so we want to assist you in the investigation and gain some experience.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gou Tou Lao Gao immediately refused: “No—you’re all still students. You’re fine—you’ve got some foundation—but the others haven’t even received systematic training. This is too dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing quickly rebutted: “Gao Shu, look at my skills—I’m not weak. My friends are just as strong as you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Gou Tou Lao Gao said: “If your friends’ combat skills are truly equal to yours, I’ll allow them to join this operation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Guo Jing’s skills were already comparable to elite special forces in Langya—if his friends matched him, they’d be able to protect themselves and wouldn’t become liabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving Gou Tou Lao Gao’s approval, Guo Jing logged back into the chat group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing: “Everyone, Gao Shu wants to test your combat skills before allowing you to join this operation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang: “Fine—but Guo Jing, tell us exactly how strong the High School Team is. I’m worried we might not hold back and knock him out with one punch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, their combat abilities far surpassed ordinary people—no student should be able to knock out a Langya special forces instructor with a single blow—that was unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Guo Jing explained the High School Team’s combat capabilities in the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaofan: “If you can fight him for dozens of rounds without losing, you’re already at special forces level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing: “But Gao Shu’s hand-to-hand techniques are practical and can end fights quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chu’an: “Then it’s simple—we’ll just defend, pretend to struggle desperately, last through dozens of rounds, then feign a mistake and lose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang: “Good idea—let’s do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1137,"2026-06-20T13:48:22.834Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7ef21b688e0d3640a44e3cc351e3652dd365508fb06fc030b555cd326070593f","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-8","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-6",205,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-cover.jpg"]
