Chapter 56: Decision and Awarding of Medals
"Makino... thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Ye Fan looked at Chen Muye standing on the windowsill, sighed, and spoke.
The latter gave a wry smile and shook his head.
"Commander, you didn't come all this way just to see me, a half-dead man, one last time, did you?"
Ye Fan's throat tightened, and he didn't know what to say.
The more composed Chen Muye appeared, the more distressed he felt inside.
"I'm here to talk to you about something else."
"It's because of Li Jie, isn't it?" Chen Muye had already guessed Ye Fan's purpose the moment he saw him appear.
Since the disappearance of Cangnan is irreversible, the only thing that could make Commander Ye personally make a trip is probably Li Jie.
Where was he ten years ago?
"do not know."
"No......."
Seeing Commander-in-Chief Ye's face almost turning purple from holding it in, Chen Muye helplessly shrugged.
"I really don't know. It's like he appeared out of thin air. Whether it's the Night Watchman's file or the police department's file, there's absolutely no information about his personal identity. Maybe he's an illegitimate child? Or maybe I don't have the necessary permissions?"
At this point, he seemed to remember something...
"Although Yuan Gang doesn't know what happened ten years ago,
But I did tell him that I couldn't find any personal information about Li Jie.
Didn't Yuan Gang tell you when he sent you here?
"No... he didn't tell me."
Seeing Commander-in-Chief Ye looking travel-worn, Chen Muye smiled.
"You didn't skip his speech before coming here, did you? It seems you value Li Jie quite a bit."
Is he rushing around in such a hurry because he's worried about the great disaster that happened ten years ago?
"How can it be!
As Commander-in-Chief, I wouldn't do something so childish. It's just that bastard Yuan Gang didn't explain things clearly to me!
Just then, someone who was standing timidly in the training camp sneezed twice.
Strange, I shouldn't get sick, so how did I catch a cold?
Just as Mr. Yuan, who was unaware of what was going on, was about to make himself a cup of hot tea to ward off the cold, a sinister voice came from behind him.
Why didn't you tell me that Li Jie might not be a native of Cangnan?
Ok?
He mechanically turned his head and saw Ye Fan grinning at him.
"Commander... is it possible that it's because you didn't ask?"
............
A short while later, Yuan, his face bruised and swollen, slumped on the sofa, waiting for the commander-in-chief's instructions.
"If it weren't for the fact that you protected the Night's Watch's new generation, which would have been considered a meritorious act..."
Today's hurdle won't be so easy to overcome!
"Yes, yes, yes...you're absolutely right."
Yuan Gang stared blankly at the ceiling, utterly dejected. If you're determined to find fault, you can always find a reason...
He now strongly suspects that the Commander-in-Chief beat him up on purpose just to vent his anger...
Is it really that important whether Li Jie is a local from Cangnan?
But... when it comes to protecting new forces...
"Um, Commander, I don't think I contributed much to this incident..."
Indeed, Li Jie cut down the missile, and Han Shaoyun was killed by Squad 136 and Li Jie.
Even if there was another 'Sea' Realm cultivator harassing him, it was just harassment; they had no intention of killing him.
Add to that the Baili family's forbidden artifact wielder, and Yuan Gang seems like he was just slacking off in this attack on the new recruits' training camp...
"Alright, let's leave those aside for now."
How did Lin Qiye perform?
After finishing discussing Li Jie's matter, Commander Ye finally remembered the "miracle" of Cangnan itself.
Yuan Gang neither confirmed nor denied this. As the only known dual-god agent, Lin Qiye was personally reported to by Yuan Gang, so it was normal for Commander Ye to pay special attention to him.
These things should have been mentioned in the report, but since Commander Ye is here, we might as well say them all at once.
"Commander, I didn't dare send the report out. Please just take a look here..."
..........
"I know the gist of it. You're lucky you didn't mess things up."
"I'll go back to headquarters for a meeting to discuss this, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Yuan Gang hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Commander... I suspect there might be a 'mole' among the Night's Watch's higher-ups..."
Ye Fan glared at Yuan Gang, annoyed.
It's like you're saying, "Do you think I'm brainless?"
"The so-called 'traitors' are nothing but clowns. Faced with absolute power, they can't make a fuss!"
Looking at the powerful aura emanating from Commander Ye, Yuan Gang felt like a primary school student who had made a mistake.
Yes, he almost forgot that the Commander-in-Chief was one of the five strongest 'human ceilings' in the entire Great Xia Dynasty...
Based on his abilities, he would definitely have absolute authority at the higher levels, and no one would stand up to oppose him.
Ye Fan was not interested and had no intention of speaking again.
A fierce wind arose, and in the quiet room, Commander Ye was nowhere to be seen.
..........
The next morning.
A short, sharp whistle rang out.
Li Jie slowly woke up and stood up to stretch his stiff body.
After a night of meditation, although the damage in my Qi Sea was not completely repaired, at least some true Qi began to flow faintly through my meridians.
After he got dressed, he walked out of the room and sighed as he looked at the barely bright sky.
Sure enough, even after physical training was over, I still had to get up very early.
Can't you take care of the 'seriously wounded'?
Just as Li Jie was lost in thought, the door to the dormitory next door opened at the same time.
Lin Qiye dragged the still not fully awake Baili Pangpang into the stairwell.
"How did he get dressed when he was sleeping so soundly?"
Upon hearing Li Jie's question, Lin Qiye looked at Baili Pangpang, who had his eyes closed, and couldn't help but say something.
"Sleepwalking?"
..........
On the physical training field, the new recruits stood in neat rows.
Baili Pangpang yawned as if waking from a dream.
"Finally got a good night's sleep, Lei. How did you sleep last night?"
They had originally planned to stay with Li Jie last night, since he was currently a patient and they could at least take care of him.
However, when Li Jie learned that Pangpang was snoring, he decisively refused, saying, "Let me heal on my own."
Just then, Yuan Gang led the instructor team to the podium.
Looking at the neatly dressed team of instructors, Baili Pangpang's eyes lit up. You have to admit, the Night Watchmen's formal attire was really handsome. But gradually, he realized that something was not quite right.
"Huh? Why does it feel like there are fewer people on the instructor team?"
Lin Qiye used his mental power to sense the situation and said, "Three are missing."
Upon hearing his words, everyone tacitly refrained from asking further questions.
Without a doubt, they have already been secretly dealt with by Chief Instructor Yuan.
Seeing that all the new recruits had assembled on time, Yuan Gang nodded in satisfaction and spoke.
"Today's morning training session is canceled."
"You have been summoned here to...award medals to some of you!"
.........
P.S.: Give the author a few days to prepare; it's going to be amazing!
