Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around!

Chapter 427: Betting With My Life

“Commander Liu, you and the commissar are two greedy ‘tigers’. I’m convinced.”

“You flatter me. It takes experience. The more you do, the better you are. Major Xia, why are you so protective of Jian?” Commander Liu was in his early forties and had a daughter around the same age as Ye Jian. He treated Ye Jian like his daughter.

He patted Xia Jinyuan’s shoulder and sighed, “I learned about Jian’s situation. Her mom was a soldier from our unit. Although I don’t know how exemplary Sun Xueqing was, I could tell that Ye Jian had inherited some skills from her. She might even be better than her mom.”

“On National Day, our leaders would be visiting abroad. The political situation over there is a bit sensitive and the military had thought about Ye Jian tagging along as a student representative. She’s good in English, has strong adaptability to changes, and she’s not only able to protect herself, but she could also even protect the leaders around her. Her name was on the list when the meeting was held.”

“I can’t tell you which leader is going over, and I think you know which country we’re going to. So... we considered having Jian to go over, not without reason.” When the leaders go abroad for meetings and diplomatic relations, the military units would know in advance. Xia Jinyuan too. Commander Liu was not considered to be revealing sensitive information to him.

Ye Jian was so serious that her facial expressions were stiff as she was listening to the commissar calmly.

She agreed and everything was much easier. Commissar Yan said, “There’s no need to be nervous. The military already had such intentions. Some agreed and some objected. Commander Liu and I do hope that you can agree.”

“Think for yourself, not for others.”

“I know that Commander Liu and you are taking care of me. I will definitely do my best to live up to your expectations. However, I can only come to train at night. I am worried...” Ye Jian was not worried that she wouldn’t be able to learn it. She was worried that time was not on her side.

Time wouldn’t be a problem as long as she agreed. Commissar Yan chuckled, “Let us arrange this. Let Major Xia send you back tonight. It’s already midnight. You should go back and rest early.”

Whether there was enough time or not was naturally a problem that the unit would resolve. Ye Jian did not need to worry about it at all.

“It is indeed an excellent opportunity. I really wanted to accept it for you too. I was thinking about it, but I didn’t expect you to step directly into the pit that the two tigers had dug for you. You couldn’t get out even if you wanted to.” Xia Jinyuan joked as they got in the car. “I wanted to pull you out, but was stopped by Commander Liu.”

Ye Jian frowned and smiled bitterly, “I knew I crossed the line after I asked, and I knew that I had fallen into the ‘trap’. But it’s an opportunity. At least I can be in direct contact with the leader. And I have another chip to use.”

Showing her face in front of the leaders and completing the tasks assigned by the military, no matter how powerful the people backing Ye Zhifan were, he would still need to tread carefully.

It was an opportunity that one would need to bet his life on.
