Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around!
chapter-1621

Naturally, Ye Jian was going to handle her personal matters in the morning, but it was still okay; she only has three days; after three days, the four days would be in little amounts, and basically wouldn’t be so troublesome.

After entering the forest, Ye Jian availed herself when Xia Jinyuan was brushing up, and immediately settled her own matters, and also cleaned up any traces while she was at it.

The forest was very quiet, as well as a thin mist enveloping it.

The early-rising birds were already chirping happily on the branches, performing an ‘ode to joy’ for this pair of couples who could go on a walk for now.

Xia Jinyuan didn’t bring up personal matters. Instead, he pressed his voice: “Today and tomorrow would be the most toilsome days, remember what I told you about ‘Operation Prisoner’? It begins in the afternoon; you’ll have to be careful, Blue Bird, and watch out in case we capture you.”

‘Operation Prisoner’ could be described as the highlight; it was also the event that best tested the combat capabilities of each individual soldier, especially after every comrade knew that this was a tryout, and the individual combat would only be much more rigorous and ferocious.

Xia Jinyuan’s reminder made Ye Jian’s heart go cold. He wasn’t wrong; she indeed needed to be careful; the moment she got captured, it was very possible that she’d miss out on going on the expedition for their country.

And that was absolutely not in line with her wishes.

“There’s no need to stress about it; you’re a soldier brought up by Uncle Chen himself, and Uncle Chen is the best Soldier King of that time. Blue Bird, do you know that you’re lucky to learn from the Soldier King of a generation?”

……

Ye Jian’s gaze flickered for a moment; once upon a time, Uncle Chen told her that he had carried out a large mission in the ’70s, and among a total of ten soldier kings, only four returned alive.

But listening from Captain Xia’s tone, it was as if Uncle Chen was someone brilliant in that generation and wasn’t a normal Soldier King at all.

Besides, Uncle Chen rarely mentions his military past to her, except for the time when they started her ‘Hell’s training’ where Uncle Chen mentioned he was on an operation in the ’70s; he didn’t bring it up after that.

The main reason was Uncle Chen was clearly hiding something from her.

Uncle Chen retired in ’87, but he said after he completed his mission in the ’70s, his identity was revealed because he received the title of a ‘World-class Sniper.’ To ensure his safety, the military spent three months planning, wiping away Uncle Chen’s identity, making him into a Soldier King who was ‘deceased’ internationally but was still alive in reality.

However, Uncle Chen truly retired in 1987!

There was quite a long time between 1987 and the ’70s, but Uncle Chen didn’t mention his military past after that, nor did he mention the glorious days of his past.

With questions in her heart, she had tried asking afterward. Still, Uncle Chen only smiled and told her in a casual tone, “Let the past remain there; some memories are only suitable to be reminisced by one self, and also memories that only belonged to one person.”

At the time, she felt Uncle Chen had unfinished words; the thick sorrow in his eyes was so infectious that it made even her feel like tearing up at the time, making it impossible for her to keep asking. Until now, Uncle Chen was still the most mysterious family member in her heart.

Xia Jinyuan noticed a sense of oddity; he couldn’t help but ask: “You don’t know about Uncle Chen?”

“I know a bit, but not much. Uncle Chen only mentioned things about him once.” Ye Jian spoke quietly, although it wasn’t brought up much, she knew Uncle Chen in the past was definitely very impressive.

Sniping feats such as shooting a small target a hundred paces away, hitting the same target thrice… etcetera were all things Uncle Chen could do.

Then should she try to inquire about him from Captain Xia? Since Uncle Chen wasn’t inclined to tell her, then there must be some reason that he couldn’t tell her about; if she insisted on inquiring about that, would she be disrespecting Uncle Chen?
