"Yes!" Luo Ye took the car keys and ran to the parking spot, pondering for a long ti. Her best skill was marksmanship, but displaying it too conspicuously could arouse suspicions.
Next was Ye Family Boxing, but with her current strength, she definitely couldn’t beat Ye Mo, and she suspected that if she practiced with Ye Mo, he would likely go easy on her, which she didn’t want as it would be humiliating for Ye Mo.
Practicing with Hang nglin, if the opponent played tough, she figured she would have to rely on dodging skills; then the outco would beco an unclear dispute; as for the other instructors? Better not, after all, she’s a girl, and the instructors probably wouldn’t want to really hit her hard given her looks.
Her flying needle skills were still untrained, and after so thought, it seed like the only skill left to show off was her driving.
The jeep’s soft-top slowly started, backed out of the parking spot, and drove around the clearing. For about a minute, the speed was controlled between 30 to 40 km/h. Hang nglin gave a soft cough: "Is this called driving skill?"
Vice Chairman Lin, Lei Dawei, Han Leming, and Li Qingqi all showed disappointnt. Didn’t this kid think that being able to start the car and drive straight down the road was enough to qualify as a technique?
Wen Song also looked worried. He felt that the military selection was sowhat unreasonable. His niece hadn’t placed in the 5 kiloter cross-country for reasons he had heard from Jiang Zheng: she had been helping others, a model of assistance, not sothing to be disqualified over. Too bad he was rely a local companion and couldn’t really give his opinion.
Zhan Yuying wore an indifferent expression the whole ti; it was impossible to tell what she was thinking. Only Jiang Zheng looked confident; the little girl always had certainty in her actions, and he believed a miracle would definitely happen!
The car began to accelerate, circling the clearing twice. As the speed reached around 130 km/h, it headed straight for the two tanks, speeding up further. Just as it was about to reach the tanks, an ear-piercing screeching of the brakes sounded, and the car perford a 180-degree tail flick and "swooshed" perfectly in-between the two tanks to a halt.
The people on the stage quickly used binoculars to look closely—the car was about 30 centiters away from the tanks on both sides! No wonder this girl had been aiming at the tanks; turns out she had been asuring the distance all along!
Wen Song quietly let out a sigh of relief. His niece was truly elusive; at not even 18 years old, how could she have such impressive driving skills?
Luo Ye pulled out the car keys, nimbly flipped onto the car’s hood, and then jumped off to the ground, running back to the stage and handing the keys back to Hang nglin, saluting: "Report to the commander, Luo Ye has finished the demonstration!"
"Not bad, not bad!" Vice Chairman Lin nodded repeatedly, and the others also nodded and smiled.
Lei Dawei laughed heartily: "Little girl, were you playing with us at the start, deliberately driving that slow?"
"Report to the commander, no, listening to Instructor Hang’s reminder, I knew she is very fond of the car, so naturally I had to consider that and warm up before performing the rest of the demonstration!"
Lei Dawei bead: "Good, good, that’s thoughtful! Luo Ye, may I ask, how does a young girl like you have such driving skills?"
"Report to the commander, about a year and a half ago I started learning driving skills from Coach Liu Bo. He thought I had talent, so he taught more!"
"Liu Bo?" Lei Dawei was taken aback: "Was he also a soldier before?"
"Yes, he was once a mber of the A team!"
"No wonder, no wonder..." Lei Dawei’s expression grew dim.
"Report to the commander, Coach Liu said that if I get the chance to et the commander, to pass on that he is well now and asks for you not to worry about him."
Vice Chairman Lin looked puzzled at Lei Dawei: "Are you talking about that Liu Bo who retired because he accidentally killed a hostage?"
"Yes!"
"That was a talent, what a pity!" Vice Chairman Lin sighed and looked at Luo Ye: "Xiao Luo, it is a blessing to have received his true teachings. Work hard!"
"Yes, commander!"
Lei Dawei waved his hand: "Luo Ye, return to your unit!"
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute!" Hang nglin looked displeased at Luo Ye: "Why did you park the car there?"
"Report, Instructor, I thought I would need soone to verify, so I left it there. Give the keys, and I will park it back!"
Hang nglin glowered: "No need! Use your brain more in the future."
"Yes!"
Luo Ye saluted the leaders again before sprinting back to the Third Squad’s position.
"That girl!" Wen Song couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head.
Vice Chairman Lin chuckled: "Little Wen, you have a capable niece, the old man is blessed!"
"Yes, my grandfather really loves this girl." Wen Song nodded with a smile. "I reckon if soone bullied Xiao Yan or Little Su, grandfather could tolerate, but if soone dares to ss with this girl, the old man could skin them!"
"Haha, Secretary Wen, are you warning ?" Lei Dawei patted Wen Song’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, if anyone dares to ss with her, I won’t allow it either!"
Jiang Zheng’s eyes brimd with a smile. These two old comrades were indeed a good match; as for Hang nglin, even if you asked her to be sly, she could turn it into honesty!
Half an hour later, the preliminary list of entrants was announced.
Squad Five had 12 people entering, Squad Six had 18. Luo Ye, Xing Nong, Yaoguang, Zhan Hao, Liu Xing, Yu Na, Wu Zetian all passed the selection.
Ye Mo’s lips curled into a bitter smile. If Ye Xuan were leading, Squad Five’s entrants would undoubtedly outnumber Squad Six’s, as during training, both had observed the other squad and roughly knew what to expect.
Fortunately, this was not the final selection, and none of the real aces had faltered due to psychological issues, which was reassuring.
Again, there was only respect for Ye Xuan from Ye Mo after years of working together, never a need to contest such aningless lengths.
The change in the rules midway was due to the Military Commander initially believing so rumors, thinking to let him and Ye Xuan compete for the Deputy Division Commander position. Later, after Ye Mo got the information, he took the initiative to speak with the Military Commander, which led to the adjustnt of the selection rules.
