But remembering Uncle Chen’s intentional avoidance of the topic, there was an uneasy feeling in her heart.
His identity was exposed… and so many years have already passed, it should be alright now, right?
After her eyes shimmered for a moment, Ye Jian asked: “Captain Xia, I only want to ask something, Uncle Chen was a Soldier King, do you mean he’s a matchless Soldier King or the Soldier King of a unit?”
“A Matchless Soldier King, the myth of the Sniping World, and the throne of the Sniping World still belongs to Uncle Chen; nobody can replace him.” When mentioning the records of his senior, even Xia Jinyuan’s expression turned solemn, and his voice was also filled with respect, “You can say Uncle Chen is a legend, a legend that many people can’t believe in.”
Ye Jian wore a shocked face, a matchless Soldier King! And a legend that many people can’t believe in!
Uncle Chen had never told her these things!
Xia Jinyuan was also quite surprised, he thought Ye Jian would know everything about Uncle Chen, but her expression had told him she knew nothing about the glorious feats of Uncle Chen’s past!
“Uncle Chen had never told you he was a Soldier King?” Xia Jinyuan’s brows locked together, Uncle Chen surprisingly had never told her about this? Why not? When he was training Ye Jian, does Uncle Chen not mention a word about his past?
Ye Jian gently shook her head, “I only know that Uncle Chen went on an operation together with ten Soldier Kings in the ’70s, and only four of the Soldier Kings returned alive. Besides that, Uncle Chen had never told me anything about himself.”
“Among the ten Soldier Kings, Uncle Chen was classified as a true Soldier King.” Xia Jinyuan added, “In that time, Uncle Chen’s sniping skills and solo combat abilities made him the Soldier King of the entire military, all of those soldier kings that went on the mission with him, each and every one of them had been defeated by Uncle Chen.
That’s why he said Uncle Chen was a matchless Soldier King.
Having never known the personal story of Uncle Chen, Ye Jian’s face was beyond shocked, “To this day, the throne of the Sniping World still belongs to Uncle Chen, and nobody can replace him.” Uncle Chen retired in ‘87, and it was ‘99 now, for a whole twelve years, nobody was able to break Uncle Chen’s records!
So that’s the origin of the ‘World-Class Sniper,’ but whenever Uncle Chen mentions it, he very casually told her that was just some ‘fame’ he had accumulated, and his tone made it seem like all of it was fake and shouldn’t be treated seriously.
Xia Jinyuan’s pupils were already starting to dim. Ye Jian was Uncle Chen’s only successor; her sniping skills were single-handedly taught by Uncle Chen himself, then why didn’t Uncle Chen tell her about himself?
Could it be…
With a notion in his heart, Xia Jinyuan lowered his voice as he asked Ye Jian, “Do you know why Uncle Chen retired?”
“Yea, I do.” Ye Jian noticed his expression was very solemn, so she lowered her voice even more, “His identity was exposed. To avoid some trouble, the military planned for three months, and Uncle Chen retired in the form of ‘killed in action.’”
This also means Uncle Chen’s identity was confidential even now, and nobody should know about it.
Only then did Xia Jinyuan’s complexion brighten a bit, in that case, Uncle Chen had told Ye Jian about it, he just didn’t go in too much detail, he continued: “Uncle Chen is a legend, and the myth of the Sniping World, even after his retirement countless people are seeking him out. Uncle Chen’s matters are complicated since he didn’t tell you too much; he must have his reasons.”
“And you, all you need to remember is that you’re a sniper taught by Uncle Chen himself, so don’t embarrass Uncle Chen, got it?” Xia Jinyuan advised, then he calmly changed the topic and stopped mentioning Uncle Chen.
