Chapter 1589: After all, he is a young man

"Is he that formidable?" Zhao Ping could not help but be stunned.

He had thought his own strength was decent, and that even if he encountered the ninjas here, he could hold his own for a few rounds.

But he hadn't expected to be beaten so miserably this time; it seems he needs to be more careful in the future.

"Of course. Did you think the ninjas here were like those portrayed in anti-Japanese war dramas? That is the truly unrealistic part," Chen Yu shook his head slightly and said: "Regarding the enemy, we must maintain an objective understanding, rather than thinking they are vulnerable just because you watched some anti-Japanese war dramas in movies."

"In fact, their strength far exceeds our imagination. Let this time serve as a lesson; I don't think you will be so careless in the future when you see them."

"I won't. In fact, I was indeed careless this time," Zhao Ping sighed slightly and said: "I've been full of hot blood since I was young, and I hadn't suffered any setbacks while in the country. This time, I was truly taught a lesson here."

"It's good that you can see that clearly," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Let me call your boss first."

"That... could you please not mention my injuries?" Zhao Ping said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Why?" Chen Yu laughed: "Do you feel like it's quite embarrassing?"

"Yes, I feel it's quite embarrassing. After all, I was acting all high and mighty when I left, but this is my first mission abroad, and I was defeated before I even started. If the captain finds out, I'll be a bit awkward."

"Haha, you must have annoyed Su Yan quite a bit when you were around her. Are you afraid she'll laugh at you this time?" Chen Yu laughed heartily: "After all, you're just a kid. How old are you this year?"

"Nineteen. Because my physical fitness and combat skills are very strong, I was admitted by exception. Originally, I should have stayed in the military for a few years before being eligible to compete for Tianyuan Pavilion, but my outstanding performance caught Captain Su's eye at once." When Zhao Ping mentioned this, his tone still held irrepressible excitement and pride.

It was clear that this kid was full of hot blood, so being a soldier was a good destination for him.

Chen Yu nodded slightly, picked up his phone, and called Su Yan.

"Mr. Chen, I was just about to look for you," as soon as the call connected, Su Yan said anxiously: "Help me save someone, and consider it me owing you a favor this time."

"Zhao Ping?" Chen Yu grinned; he knew Su Yan must be very anxious on her end: "Don't worry, he's right beside me."

"You know him?" Su Yan was slightly startled and asked with some confusion: "He's by your side? Is he alright now?"

"He's fine now, don't worry. But isn't it a bit bold of you to send a child under twenty on a mission abroad?" Chen Yu said: "No matter how strong his abilities are, he is still a child and needs to be tempered before he can execute missions outside the country."

"I'm sorry, he doesn't meet the standards for the mission, but at his strong insistence, our boss decided to give him a chance. Is he alright now?" Su Yan felt a huge weight lift off her heart upon hearing that Zhao Ping was with Chen Yu; as long as Chen Yu was there, Zhao Ping would be fine.

"He's fine. He likely encountered a ninja and sustained some injuries, but everything is within a controllable range. He needs to rest quietly in this place for a few days," Chen Yu said: "Don't worry, he will recover in a few days and continue your mission then."

"It's good that he's fine. Thank you, Mr. Chen. If something had really happened to him, I would have blamed myself." Su Yan finally let out a sigh of relief; learning that Zhao Ping was safe, she felt relieved: "Is he by your side? Give the phone to him, I want to say a few words to him."

"Your boss," Chen Yu turned his head and handed the phone to Zhao Ping.

Zhao Ping took the phone cautiously and then said with some embarrassment: "Captain Su, it's me. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"How is your situation now?" Su Yan's tone changed, becoming somewhat stern.

"Quite good. I sustained some minor injuries, and then Wu Bo here saved me and brought me to his residence. My condition is no longer a major issue now. Fortunately, Mr. Chen took action in time. Don't worry, I will continue this mission after my injuries heal, and I guarantee there won't be any more problems," Zhao Ping said.

"Put the mission aside for now. You make it sound so trivial, but from the information I received, your injuries are not light," Su Yan snorted lightly and said: "That's what you get for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you know now?"

"I know. The ninjas of the devils are indeed quite formidable, but don't worry, I won't make the same mistake twice after suffering it once," Zhao Ping vowed.

"That's enough. The mission is suspended; recover from your injuries first," Su Yan said.

"Don't, Captain Su. I'm really fine. My injuries aren't a big deal, don't delay the mission," Zhao Ping was getting anxious. This was his first time executing a mission abroad, and if it stopped just like that, where would he put his face in the future?

"Just follow orders. Give the phone to Chen Yu beside you," Su Yan said in a tone that allowed no room for negotiation.

Zhao Ping had no choice but to hand the phone back to Chen Yu.

"So, do you want me to execute the mission for him? Or help him out?" After taking the phone, Chen Yu said with a chuckle.

"I want you to help him out. This mission involves a mysterious force. We didn't understand them well before because they were just an ordinary research company, so we were careless. If Zhao Ping goes to complete this alone, I'm afraid it will be very difficult," Su Yan said.

"Alright then, since I've encountered it, I won't just sit by and watch," Chen Yu smiled: "Send me a copy of the mission files later, and I'll take him to complete it."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen," Su Yan smiled: "How is your trip to Fusang going?"

"It's alright," Chen Yu said: "It's just that I haven't discovered the whereabouts of Jiutun yet. I'll contact you after I clarify the situation."

"Good, let's keep in touch," Su Yan hung up the phone.

"Are you called Chen Yu?" Zhao Ping asked: "Are you really going to take me along for this mission?"

"If you think you can complete the mission yourself, then I won't go," Chen Yu smiled.

"I can complete it myself, I have confidence," Zhao Ping was clearly unconvinced.

"If you really had that much confidence, you wouldn't have been beaten like this," Chen Yu glanced at his still blood-stained clothes: "Go change your clothes now. Isn't it uncomfortable to be covered in blood?"

"Alright," Zhao Ping looked down at his clothes, then smiled awkwardly and went to change into a different set.
