Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Hehe, well, Regiment Commander… you mustn’t get angry!” Wang Ye still didn’t get straight to the point at first, but whispered, staring at him again as he spoke.

The Second Regiment Commander looked at Wang Ye impatiently: “Stop beating around the bush. If you have something to say, say it. If you have to fart, just fart. If not, then just hold it in.”

Of course, holding it in was not an option, or rather, it was impossible for Wang Ye not to speak.

He had risked getting beaten up to come back for this very reason; how could he possibly remain silent?

“Hehe… it’s actually not a big deal-”

Wang Ye glanced at the Second Regiment Commander’s arm, and then, under his cautious gaze, Wang Ye moved a little closer with a smile on his face.

But immediately after, Wang Ye quickly turned back to look at the group behind him who were tugging at their ears, and even stepping forward, curious to listen.

“What are you doing? Don’t get so close. I’m discussing military secrets with the Regiment Commander!” Wang Ye was unapologetically blunt, even though among them were more than a few non-commissioned officers.

But what did that matter?

It’s not like they were from the Fourth Company.

Even if they were, Wang Ye didn’t fear these non-commissioned officers.

After all, he was an officer now.

Even without a position, the insignia on his shoulder was genuine.

“No military secrets, my foot. Just spit it out!” the Regiment Commander spoke again impatiently.

The more Wang Ye acted like this, the more the Regiment Commander felt that Wang Ye was up to no good.

Honestly, he didn’t even want Wang Ye to speak, but he was also a bit curious about what nonsense Wang Ye, with his dog’s mouth, could possibly spout.

“Hehe-” Wang Ye turned back to look at the Regiment Commander, his face breaking into a sly smile.

“Actually, it’s nothing major, just… just…” Wang Ye paused, quickly glanced back to see that they hadn’t moved away, and then leaned in close to the Regiment Commander’s ear to speak.

“Regiment Commander, I’ve fallen for a girl, and she wants your armband as a military honor…”

“Huh?”

The Regiment Commander wasn’t angry, but widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at Wang Ye?

He then quickly glanced towards the direction of the hill Wang Ye had just come from.

“No, Regiment Commander, don’t look!” Wang Ye feigned urgency: “You know, I’m already breaking the rules. She didn’t want to reveal her participation in the exercises, so she didn’t come out!”

At this moment, Wang Ye silently apologized to Wen Xiaoman in his heart.

He really couldn’t bring himself to say it directly.

Old Lin, I’ve already killed you, so just give me your armband now.

So, he came up with this excuse on the way here.

And as it turned out, regardless of how far-fetched the excuse was, it was clearly effective now.

“Really?” Lin Hai turned back to look at Wang Ye again, his eyes still wide.

Wang Ye showed a bit of embarrassment: “Yeah-”

After saying this, Wang Ye quickly added: “But, Regiment Commander, you mustn’t tell anyone. No one knows about this. I haven’t said anything to her, but she just mentioned it’s a pity she didn’t get your armband, and then… then I… I…”

“Haha!” Lin Hai burst into laughter.

He patted Wang Ye on the shoulder: “Good lad, you’ve only been gone for a short while.

Here…”

Very readily, Lin Hai tore off his own armband and handed it to Wang Ye.

This scene left the group behind them utterly stunned.

What was happening?

Wang Ye had “killed” the Regiment Commander in the exercise, and now he comes back, but the Regiment Commander doesn’t beat him up or get angry. Instead, he cheerfully tears off his armband to give to Wang Ye?

Had he lost his mind?

Was this like selling you out and then happily helping Wang Ye count the money?

At this moment, Wen Xiaoman, who was previously stationed at the machine gun position, was also full of confusion.

Wang Ye had “killed” him, and he could still smile so happily?

Was Wang Ye really that favored?

Wen Xiaoman, hiding and unable to hear the conversation between Wang Ye and Lin Hai, didn’t even see Lin Hai tearing off his armband to give to Wang Ye.

But even so, seeing Lin Hai’s smile from afar, she was still frustrated.

She had followed to see Wang Ye get beaten up.

Not to witness this scene.

Meanwhile, at the division headquarters, a group of people were equally bewildered.

“Has Lin Hai lost his mind?” a staff officer couldn’t help but voice this thought.

In reality, Wang Ye’s whispering earlier was partly to prevent the guys behind him from hearing, but more importantly, to prevent his voice from being recorded by any equipment he was wearing.

He just wanted to get an armband to complete his mission, not to embarrass himself in front of the entire division’s senior officers and staff.

Now, at the division headquarters, the division commander and chief of staff were extremely curious.

But Wang Ye was never going to satisfy their curiosity.

“Thank you, Regiment Commander!” Wang Ye took the armband, hearing the mission completion notification in his mind, and kept thanking…

“Haha, what’s this about? But why don’t you call her down now? Let me meet her too. Don’t worry, these guys here are ‘dead’, I assure you they won’t blab. They’ll respect the rules of the exercise!”

The Regiment Commander, of course, was aware of the presence of a female reconnaissance unit in the division.

He was genuinely curious about what the girl Wang Ye was interested in looked like!

“Hehe, well, Regiment Commander, it’s a secret, a secret. I’m off to drive now, I’ll take one vehicle out first, and then I’ll come back for another one!”

Having completed his mission, Wang Ye didn’t want to chat too much with the Regiment Commander.

Mainly because his excuse was too flimsy, and it made him a bit apprehensive inside.

One lie requires a thousand lies to sustain it.

It was best to leave early.

As for Wen Xiaoman.

Wang Ye could only say it was a bluff; he hadn’t actually taken a fancy to her.

Or rather, he hadn’t yet gotten a clear look at her face up to this point..
