306: Chapters 327-328, Practical Combat Begins 306: Chapters 327-328, Practical Combat Begins Cai Qin sat across from Zhao Guosheng and bit her lip, saying, “Uncle Zhao.”
Zhao Guosheng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, as Cai Qin had always addressed him as Deputy Director Zhao, never like this.
Even though he was close friends with Cai Qin’s father, Cai Qin had her principles and never let outsiders know about their relationship.
“I think…
we should stop this plan,” Cai Qin mustered her courage to say.
Zhao Guosheng’s body trembled slightly, a look of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
He sighed, “But it’s already too late to stop it.”
Cai Qin fell silent.
Zhao Guosheng said, “You’re worried about Fang Yi, aren’t you?”
Cai Qin hesitated and then nodded.
Zhao Guosheng continued, “There’s no need to worry about that kid; he’s genuinely capable.”
Cai Qin shook her head and said, “It’s not that I’m worried about.
I’m worried he’ll fly into a rage when he finds out about this.
And you…” At this point, Cai Qin’s beautiful eyes showed pity.
“Regarding this matter, when the ti cos, I will be honest with the kid.
You don’t have to step in; I think he won’t be too hard on you, a woman.
Moreover, making such a plan was my own choice.”
“Are you really willing to abandon everything for the sake of the Dragon Team?”
“Yes!” Zhao Guosheng’s fist clenched suddenly on the table, his expression becoming aggravated: “For the Dragon Team, I am willing to give up everything!
I don’t want to see what the Dragon Team has beco, infested with parasites, each one acting out of self-interest, without regard for the glory and splendor of the Dragon Team.
They are all bloodsuckers, leeching off the giant that is the Dragon Team.
I’ve had enough!
Even though I’m just a Deputy Director, I’m going to fight them!”
The usually composed Zhao Guosheng was now explosively angry, his frustration inexpressible.
Cai Qin quietly said, “This was also my father’s long-standing wish.”
Zhao Guosheng said, “It’s my long-standing wish too.
If it continues like this, I won’t be able to close my eyes in peace!
Only that kid has the potential to pull the Dragon Team back on track!”
Cai Qin said, “I don’t understand how that kid gives you such hope.”
Zhao Guosheng exhaled a turbid breath and said gently, “Intuition.”
Cai Qin was taken aback.
“He gave such an intuition that perhaps, with his devil-may-care attitude, he might truly lift this withered giant!”
At this, Zhao Guosheng suddenly smiled and said, “In any case, it’s like using a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Trying is always better than just watching.”
Cai Qin nodded her head, agreeing with Zhao Guosheng’s thinking, and thus had no more concerns.
“Fang Yi, I’m sorry…
I will compensate you later,” she said silently in her heart.
…
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the second day had arrived.
Fang Yi’s actions the day before had disrupted the normal selection process for Dragon Team mbers, so apart from those who were eliminated, those who remained neutral continued to participate in the selection.
However, in three days, they would have the opportunity to watch the entire battle.
At the mont, Wei Rui was leading over twenty youths in training, detailing real combat exercises, what to look out for, how to break out, how to fight, how to disorient the enemy, and how to encircle them…
Wei Rui specifically focused on Bai Rou, but in his heart, Fang Yi didn’t count for much; it was only Bai Rou who posed so threat, though just a little.
At the back, Fang Mutian sat alone.
A young man brought over a chair and sat down beside him.
Song Ya lit an expensive cigarette and said, “This Wei Rui is already a Blood Dragon Guard and still takes it so seriously.
Although he appears fearless, he must be sowhat afraid inside.”
Fang Mutian said calmly, “Better to be safe than sorry.”
Song Ya stroked his chin and said, “Right, Fang Mutian, I rember with your aloofness, you shouldn’t be involved in such matters.
That Fang Yi…
could it be that you have a grudge against him?”
Fang Mutian replied indifferently, “No.”
Song Ya said, “I don’t believe you.”
Fang Mutian said, “I just find it interesting, that’s all.
To defeat soone full of fighting spirit and then brutally crush and torture them until they scream in agony and beg pitifully—that makes happy.”
Song Ya fell silent for a mont, then said, “That’s disgusting.”
…
Fang Yi hadn’t been idle either.
He had gathered Chu Qianqian and ng Zhengyi, and Bai Rou, who had shown up uninvited.
“Calling Chu Qianqian and not , do you not consider your comrade-in-arms?” Bai Rou’s beautiful eyes flashed with dissatisfaction.
“I called them over for individual training.
After thinking it through, I figured you wouldn’t need to be involved with your skills,” Fang Yi said.
“Then I’ll just listen in,” Bai Rou said.
Next, the four of them ca together.
Since it was Fang Yi’s proposal, he naturally took on the role of leader, and the other three had no objections.
Fang Yi lit up a cigarette and said, “Co on, let’s talk about each other’s hobbies, strengths and weaknesses, what we’re good at and what we’re not…”
Knowing both yourself and the enemy is the key to winning every battle, a principle that Fang Yi always followed.
ng Zhengyi began, followed by Chu Qianqian, and finally Bai Rou.
An hour later, Fang Yi also had a general idea.
He slapped his thigh, stood up, and stretched his limbs.
Then, after drinking so water, Fang Yi said, “This ti’s live combat training is jungle warfare, with complex terrain.
However, I believe that for Wei Rui, he’s most familiar with this jungle and has the advantage.”
At these words, ng Zhengyi’s face showed bitterness, and even the spirited Chu Qianqian found it hard to cheer up.
But the next mont, Fang Yi changed his tone and said, “But that doesn’t an there’s no chance of winning.
Since I’ve challenged Wei Rui, naturally, I have confidence, Miss Bai Rou.”
Bai Rou smiled and said, “Just call Bai Rou.”
Fang Yi continued, “Bai Rou, you take on Song Ya, and I’ll deal with Fang Mutian.
As for Zhengyi and Qianqian, you two find high ground.
Qianqian will be responsible for sniping, Zhengyi for protecting her.
If the situation turns bad, retreat imdiately!”
ng Zhengyi didn’t have much prowess and could only stick with Chu Qianqian.
However, Chu Qianqian possessed a truly extraordinary talent, precise sniping, and this was the reason for Fang Yi’s arrangent.
“What about the small fry?” asked Bai Rou.
“If we encounter them en route, we’ll just take care of them,” Fang Yi replied coolly.
“Mhm.” Bai Rou had no objections to this, thanks to her strong self-confidence.
As for her partnership with Fang Yi, Bai Rou gave him a glance and thought he should also be up to par.
Three days passed quickly, and on that day, Fang Yi’s group arrived at the training field, with Wei Rui and his team also showing up.
“What’s going on?
How did their numbers increase?” ng Zhengyi exclaid.
Fang Yi patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, they’re just small fry.”
Seeing Fang Yi’s calm and composed deanor, ng Zhengyi relaxed and thought to himself, since he was already standing on this side, why not take a chance!
Indeed, Wei Rui’s side had grown in numbers.
Over those three days, many more had joined him, especially after the elimination in the physical test.
Nearly everyone had switched to Wei Rui’s side because the gap between the two sides was too apparent – even a fool could see who was likely to win.
Winning ant skipping the subsequent selection and becoming a mber of the Dragon Team right away.
Who wouldn’t want such a deal?
Hence many held this goal and sought to take this short cut.
Fang Yi sneered to himself, “You want to take a short cut, but you’ll have to see if there are pits on this road.”
