Li Jinnian marched over with long strides and stopped by Ye Jian’s side, “He recognizes you.”
“Yes, my middle-school classmate.” Ye Jian glanced at Fu Dong, who was in formation; she exclaimed with a smile: “Too surprised, even encountering an old classmate here.”
It turned out to be a middle-school classmate, then that would be easier to handle. He feared she encountered a familiar person from the village.
With dimmed pupils, Li Jinnian spoke frankly: “Blue Bird, your identity and the unit you serve are classified information.”
“I understand.” Ye Jian nodded; she understood what Li Jinnian was trying to tell her. The Storm Commandos and the Elite Platoon were the same. The identities of the members and which unit they are serving in are classified information; even their family members cannot be told.
But that’s still okay; Fu Dong wasn’t absolutely certain that it was her; after all, it had already been three and a half years since graduating middle school.
“He didn’t completely recognize me; he only found me familiar, I won’t be attending the hand-shaking and thanking them, or I’ll come over after he leaves.” Ye Jian didn’t have any intention of reconnecting with an old classmate, neither did she want to go over to boast.
She was Ye Jian, a female soldier who was working hard for her goals; what do the things they think in their heart have anything to do with her?
Fu Dong had already scanned the perimeter once, but he didn’t spot the figure that gave him a sense of familiarity; even after all the special forces soldiers were shaking hands with them, he didn’t spot her either.
Until they watched these brave and dauntless special forces soldiers who fought on the frontlines leave, did Fu Dong discover, only twenty-one of the special forces soldiers shook hands with him, and when they left, there were twenty-two figures?
The extra figure wore the exact same woodland combat camo as the male soldiers and carried the same combat equipment, marching with the same stride, as they headed towards the depths of the mountains.
Her figure was extremely conspicuous among a troupe of tall and burly male soldiers, she was as slender as a willow tree, and under the drizzling rain, she managed to walk a towering view that didn’t lose to any of the male soldiers.
Ye Jian, if you genuinely are Ye Jian, your old classmate congratulates you here, congratulating you on becoming an indomitable soldier.
“Squad leader, what’re you looking at?” A soldier quietly asked him, and said with a regretful tone: “That female special forces soldier, sigh, I was eliminated by her, I didn’t even know how she discovered me, how can a girl be so impressive?”
If she really was Ye Jian, Fu Dong replied with a laugh, “A female soldier, so what? Although she is a female soldier, she is a special forces soldier who is more impressive than us male soldiers.”
She’s already so impressive when they were still students; after joining the military, she was still that impressive.
That was his old classmate, Ye Jian, who was serious, and now she was a soldier, wearing a soldier’s uniform, carrying steel guns, a soldier who fights for their nation!
Fu Dong stopped pondering; neither did he try to ask around intentionally. Although he wasn’t certain if that was Ye Jian, he believed the female soldier who didn’t appear when they were shaking hands was the old classmate that he was acquainted with.
As a fellow soldier, naturally, he would be safeguarding his old classmate, who was also a soldier.
Ye Jian didn’t know what her old middle-school classmate of the past was thinking about right now, but she knew, if Fu Dong recognized her, then as a fellow soldier, he still had the basic awareness of maintaining the secret.
Squad leader. Having managed to become a squad leader, it was obvious that Fu Dong’s performance in the army was quite good. In that case, even if he did recognize her, there wasn’t anything to worry about.
The rain was still drizzling, and that mountain with the burned down fir forest was already several kilometers away from the Storm Commandos. At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, both sides completed their ‘support shooting’ separately and then entered the next area where both units would join and complete their ‘300 meter, time-limited, 100 bullet accuracy firing’ together.
