Chapter 282 Exercise!
Li Yan said:
"Qinling, this Li Yuanchao, and his father Li Hailong, are at odds with Yuemin?"
"It's more than just not getting along, Sister Yan. Let me tell you, Yuemin and this Li Yuanchao... Xiaobai almost got together with Li Yuanchao back then... Later, Yuemin betrayed Li Yuanchao. They were both supposed to join the army, but Li Hailong stopped them, so they couldn't go. Like me, they could only come to northern Shaanxi to work in the countryside."
Li Yan was very curious after hearing this; she had no idea there was such a grudge between the two sides.
"So, I should thank Li Yuanchao. Otherwise, Yuemin wouldn't have been able to come to northern Shaanxi, and I wouldn't have met him."
Qin Ling and the other man laughed, truly regarding Yue Min as a treasure.
Li Yan then asked:
"Lisa, since Yuemin has a grudge against these two, why is he cooperating with them?"
"To be precise, it's not a collaboration with Li Hailong, but a collaboration with mainland state-owned assets. Everyone gets what they need and makes money together, so why not!"
Lisa said:
"Moreover, this will make it easier to investigate Li Hailong. According to the information we have so far, Li Hailong is suspected of reselling state-owned goods and embezzling huge sums of money. He is definitely a major corrupt official. Moreover, most of these funds have flowed to overseas accounts. He has already left himself a way out. If things go wrong, his whole family can escape abroad and live a life of comfort and wealth."
"These people are truly despicable, especially since they're wearing military uniforms. Now that we have evidence, why don't we arrest these scoundrels?"
Lisa said:
"It's not that simple. As I just said, Li Hailong is hiding behind the scenes and, strictly speaking, has nothing to do with Longhai Trading. He was just a puppet when he was arrested. Once this company is exposed, he will immediately start anew, set up another shell company, and continue to smuggle state supplies. Moreover, once we startle him, he will probably be more cautious, making it even more difficult to collect evidence. For now, we should continue to cooperate with him. Anyway, it won't be a loss for us. We can also monitor him while waiting for the right opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop."
Li Yan said:
"Didn't you just say that people are transferring their funds overseas? How can they get them back?"
“We also have business overseas. To catch the thief, we must catch the king. Even if these two escape to the ends of the earth, we can still bring them back.”
The two girls were stunned.
"Lisa, did Yuemin instruct you to do all this?"
"Ok!"
"What's wrong with Yuemin's brain? He's in the army, yet he knows everything about the situation in Hong Kong. He's got eyes and ears everywhere, he's amazing!"
Qin Ling joked, "Sister Yan, otherwise how could you be so infatuated with Yue Min? He already has a girlfriend, and you're still throwing yourself at him."
The two of them laughed as they spoke.
Li Yan pouted.
"What are you two laughing at? It's like the pot calling the kettle black. I'm paying for it, and so are you two. But it's all benefiting Yuemin. Hey, sisters, we have to unite against this philanderer and teach him a lesson in bed. Let him know how powerful we are, squeeze him dry, and leave him no chance to do anything bad!"
Mainland China!
At a military camp, Zhong Yuemin sat cross-legged on the side of the training field. He had just finished running a 1,000-meter race with weights and was resting when suddenly, for no apparent reason, he felt a shiver run through his body and a chill run down his spine. It was broad daylight, and he didn't know why.
Is someone plotting to harm him?
Looking at Haiyang, Ningwei, and Mantun still running on the track, Mantun was in the lead. When it comes to endurance, even Ningwei, the future king of soldiers with his excellent physique, couldn't compare to Mantun's body, which had been trained since childhood. If he didn't have the continuous output of the Immortal Spring, he probably wouldn't be able to keep up. Ningwei was behind, about a body length behind, and could still keep up. Haiyang was much worse, falling behind by about ten meters, panting heavily, and had reached his limit.
"Haiyang, what the hell did you do if you didn't eat?!"
Zhong Yuemin shouted to the others, "Put some effort into catching up, don't fall behind!"
A few minutes later, the three of them finished running and came to his feet. Man Tun and Ning Wei were alright, quite steady, and sat down with a thud. Haiyang, however, had rolled and crawled over, lying sprawled on the ground, panting heavily.
Zhong Yuemin patted the man's shoulder.
"Haiyang, this won't do. Your training is getting worse and worse. You used to be able to catch up with Ning Wei and Man Tun, and the gap wasn't that big. Now you can barely see their backs... Here, have some water!"
He handed the jug containing the spring water to Zhang Haiyang, who took it and drank half of it in one gulp. He regained some strength and got up from the ground.
"Yuemin, don't provoke me. It's not that I'm getting worse with practice, it's just that I've run into three monsters like you. I just timed it, and it was a few seconds faster than before. You three are all animals. I admit I can't beat you. If you want to find someone else, veterans are fine too. I'm not afraid!"
Zhong Yuemin smiled,
"People strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill. You have to aim high. How can you compare yourself to someone who's bad? Playing chess with a terrible player will only make you worse. It's the same principle. Take a break and then run another thousand."
Zhang Haiyang waved his hand dismissively.
"Dude, my legs feel like lead right now, I can't run a single step. If you want to run, you run by yourself. Also, I think we should cancel our extra training for the next few days. The army is about to have a red-blue force-on-force exercise, we need to save our energy to be prepared. This exercise is unprecedented in scale, with various branches of the armed forces conducting cross-operations and coordinated attacks. The leaders of the military region will all be participating, and I heard that people from Beijing are coming to observe. We can't miss such a big event where we can show our faces in public."
"Mantun and Ningwei, you two better perform well. If you do exceptionally well and catch the eye of the leadership, your chances of staying in the army as officers will greatly increase."
"Brother Haiyang, is this exercise reliable? Is it really going to take place?"
"Would I lie to you? The information is absolutely accurate... Yuemin, why aren't you saying anything? This is a golden opportunity to make a name for yourself!"
Zhong Yuemin had a blade of grass in his mouth.
“Haiyang, do we need to make a name for ourselves? I’m looking forward to being discharged after my three years of military service. I don’t want to stay in the army for long. Besides, we’re both new recruits. What important tasks do you expect the company commander to assign you? At most, you can go to the front line to scout out enemy positions. And from what I understand, these kinds of exercises, no matter how big they look, are just a formality, and everyone knows the real purpose behind them.”
"Yuemin, you're just too steady these days, it's boring. I still miss the days when we were the tough guys in Beijing, with your carefree, crazy personality. They might be just going through the motions, but we took it seriously, it was a good opportunity to teach them a lesson. So what if it's an exercise? On the battlefield, it's real fighting, nobody's playing house with you."
"Also, even if you don't think about yourself, think about Mantun and Ningwei. If you can catch the eye of the military region's top leader, it will definitely be a plus."
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the confrontation exercise between the red and blue army groups has officially begun.
