When Ren Yunying finally came to the military camp to pick up the people, she saw the group from The No.1 Military Academy sitting around in a disorderly manner.
She glanced at Colonel Bai Zuo, who was glaring at them from a distance, and found it hard to accept:
"Why aren't you training? Are you here to watch a show?"
Hearing her voice, Chloe instantly turned around, exclaiming with delight:
"Officer Ren! Why are you here?!"
"I heard you completed your mission, so I came to check on you and take you back."
As she spoke, Ren Yunying glanced at the Tagar Military Academy students training diligently nearby, then looked back at her own people still slacking off. She felt a headache coming on:
"Can't you show some spirit? Look how hard the others are working!"
"I know you've always thought you're unbeatable, but there are always bigger fish in the sea. If they keep training like this every day, they'll eventually surpass you."
Daniel immediately covered his ears, pretending he hadn't heard.
Chloe, grinning, beckoned Ren Yunying to her side and handed her a small snack, saying:
"Don't worry, we're not avoiding training on purpose. Guess who deserves the most credit for this mission?"
Ren Yunying looked at her, pausing for a moment on Chloe's smug expression and upturned lips, instantly guessing the answer:
"Don't tell me it was you lot?"
Daniel immediately jumped up from the ground:
"Yes, yes, yes! It was us!"
"Why else do you think we're not training and Colonel Bai Zuo isn't coming to supervise us?"
Chloe chimed in: "Besides, Officer Ren, look at that Colonel Bai Zuo, he's so serious all the time, like a stuffy old man. I don't know how he..."
A stern, cold voice came from not far away:
"Chloe! I heard that!"
Chloe blinked twice, pretending she hadn't heard anything, and then said:
"Officer Ren, when are we going back? I can't wait anymore!"
She spoke with a straight face, spewing nonsense: "I can't stand it here anymore. The military camp is too exhausting. I miss the relaxed and lively environment of The No.1 Military Academy so much. I just want to return to the embrace of my alma mater!"
Chloe seemed to be born without knowing the meaning of embarrassment, and this speech had already been heard by Colonel Bai Zuo.
Bai Zuo roared:
"Try saying one more nonsensical thing! Since you came to the military camp, apart from the first day, when have you ever worked hard?!"
Chloe stubbornly retorted: "You're not counting the days we were fighting for our lives in the Viper Group's camp!"
Bai Zuo: "..."
He rolled up his sleeves: "Let's see if I don't beat you up."
Saying this, he charged towards them.
Chloe panicked, not really wanting Bai Zuo to hit her, and quickly darted behind Ren Yunying to hide.
She thought she'd escaped, but Ren Yunying wasn't pleased with her either and reached behind her to grab Chloe and pull her out.
Chloe: "?"
She turned to look at Ren Yunying in disbelief, her voice mournful and pained:
"Are you really going to throw me to that cold-blooded man?"
Ren Yunying looked at her, her red lips parting to speak words that chilled Chloe to the bone:
"Yes."
With that, she mercilessly tossed Chloe out.
In the end, Chloe was grabbed by Bai Zuo and given a thorough lecture. When she was returned, she was in quite a state.
Of the five students from The No.1 Military Academy who came here, only Chloe was singled out for extra training, showing how universally disliked she was.
When Chloe returned, seething with resentment, Daniel patted her shoulder and said earnestly:
"Behave yourself, don't pull those stunts."
"Otherwise, you'll be the one to suffer."
Chloe looked at her companion sadly, and finally nodded solemnly.
...
They didn't stay there for too long, after all, it was just a joint mission with Tagar Military Academy. Now that the mission was over, it was time to go back.
However, the group from the Second Military Academy, led by Qu Yan, didn't want to leave.
When asked why, they only said that life in the military camp was very helpful for tempering their character.
They decided to stay for a while longer before returning.
Hearing this, Ren Yunying was very moved and immediately started lecturing Chloe and the others:
"Look at how other students behave, and then look at yourselves!"
Chloe immediately looked at Ren Yunying with a bewildered expression and used sign language to express that she was a deaf-mute who couldn't hear anything.
Ren Yunying was so angry she almost started beating them up on the spot.
The way back to Tagar Military Academy was still by jogging.
Ren Yunying had an inexplicable obsession with training their physical fitness, making them run and fight at any time and place.
Running was already a daily routine for Chloe and the others. They could even maintain their original speed while chatting as they ran.
Like now.
Chloe had been lost in thought for a while before finally asking: "How much longer do we have to stay at Tagar Military Academy?"
Ren Yunying, sitting on a cool electric car, keeping pace with them leisurely, thought carefully for a moment before saying:
"It's hard to say. After we finish the work here, we'll be going to another place."
Hearing this, Daniel asked curiously: "We're not going back to The No.1 Military Academy?"
"No," Ren Yunying glanced at him sideways, "Focus on doing your missions well, don't keep thinking about those girls at the academy."
"You know they're just playing with you."
Daniel choked, immediately retorting angrily: "What do you mean just playing! Every relationship I have is sincere!"
Qin Huaibei sneered: "I won't mention who spent seven million on a one-week relationship."
Struck at his weak point, Daniel immediately went berserk: "She let me spend money on her because she loves me! Otherwise, why would she only let me spend money on her and not others?!"
Chloe looked at him: "Because you're the only one stupid enough with money to burn."
At these words, Daniel completely shut down.
Chloe continued: "Seven million in a week, I don't even know how you managed to spend that much. Even I wouldn't spend that much money in one go."
Daniel fell silent, with faint sobbing sounds coming from behind.
Seeing this, Ren Yunying sighed. Why does this kid always attract these questionable girls? Getting scammed every day, could it really be because he's too stupid?
However, Ren Yunying remained steadfast, believing that her students, no matter how slow, could never be truly incompetent.
Each person harbored their own thoughts as they finally returned to Tagar Military Academy.
After the end-of-month music festival, Tagar Military Academy once again resumed its dull and monotonous atmosphere.
Chloe returned to her room and lay on her bed, feeling somewhat dejected.
Just as she was about to cast aside all her chaotic and complicated thoughts and go straight to sleep, her terminal rang.
After learning that their terminals had been taken by the Viper Group, Ren Yunying had brought them new ones when she came.
Chloe glanced at the name displayed on the screen—
Xavier.
