Chapter 49: Strict Teachers Produce Achieving Students
“You understand. That nice. You should learn from School Head Chen, who is a well-rounded person. For me, I haven't had much to teach you since I got old Grandpa Gen said as he fitted his hook to his waist. With a smile on his face, he looked at Ye Jian who was wiping away his sweat. “Come, I'll take you to a nice place you like.”
“Where are we going, Grandpa? You haven't had breakfast. Should we go home and cook noodles first?” In a hurry, Ye Jian placed his towel around his neck and carried a wooden bucket filled with water, following Grandpa Gen in steady steps. While laughing, his voice sounded clearer and more melodious than the sound of birds in the bamboo forest.
"unneeded. We'll get food when we get there. Put bucket. You can take her home when we get back tonight.” Grandpa Gen said with a smile. As a 70-year-old senior, he walked at a fast and steady pace that exceeded the speed of a youngster.
Behind the mountain was a vast bamboo forest. Shrouded in the morning mist, this place looked like a magical land.
Grandpa Gen stopped in front of a cave. Every household in the village had this kind of cave to store yams and the like. He told Ye Jian, “Open the door, Nak.”
Ever since Ye Jian could remember him, he had known of the existence of the cave in his home. But it never occurred to him that this cave leads to another place!
"Seek your steps. Don'tbeafraid. Just follow me.” said Grandfather General Ye Jian touching the dry stone wall with both hands while walking in the pitch-black passageway, which led him to somewhere deep underground. His current astonishment was not inferior to when he was revived.
And only now did he realize how often those soldiers appeared in his house!
As it turned out, they had walked through a long road in the mountains to enter the village, without worrying a single villager.
The tunnel is rather long. After walking for almost half an hour, Ye Jian finally saw a dim light, meaning the entrance of the cave was not far away.
Half-hour... The length of the tunnel must be several kilometers. And none of the villagers were aware of such a big project!
“Close your eyes. Don't let the sun burn it.” Grandfather Gen reminded Ye Jian kindly. Standing at the entrance of the cave, he turned his back to the sun. “Open your eyes three minutes later.”

Ye Jian did not open his eyes until his eyes adjusted to the light. He saw that the military camp hidden deep within the mountain was near.
After they came out of the cave, they walked down the mountain. Half an hour later, they reached the paved road. On the roadside stands a white sign with a red character on it, saying, “MILITARY AREA LIMITED”.
There is a stretch of barbed wire fence as far as 400 meters. Behind the fence is a barbed wire gate. In total there were four soldiers holding weapons and standing guard.
Ye Jian looked further into the forest on the mountain and saw an observation post hidden deep within the forest.
This is a heavily guarded area. And led by Grandpa Gen, he could enter it easily!
An armed soldier walked towards them. After saluting Grandfather Gen, he verified their identities.
An ordinary-looking vehicle drove past them. Stop in front of the guard post.
The left and right doors of the car open at the same time. As the soldier driving the car handed over his identity documents to the guards, a young soldier jumped out of the passenger seat and walked towards Ye Jian.
“Grandfather, you are here.” said the young soldier with a smile on his graceful and handsome face. His military uniform is neat and well ironed. He saluted Grandpa Gen and said, “I'm afraid I'll have to postpone the appointment with you. The school has made an emergency phone call and I need to check it out. Maybe next time."
Grandpa Gen laughed and said, “The job of a soldier is to obey orders. Captain Xia, we can arrange another appointment when you return.”
Chapter 50: Stay Away from Dangerous Men
As Xia Jinyuan walked towards him, Ye Jian lowered his pitch-black eyes, standing in silence.
While talking to Grandpa Gen, Xia Jinyuan looked at Ye Jian clandestinely. With little indication, her beautiful brows furrowed.
Why is that girl hiding from me? Did I scare her at school that day?
"I'll definitely!" with a faint smile on her handsome face, Xia Jinyuan replied to Grandfather General. His unfathomable black eyes looked at Ye Jian again. Politely, he said to Grandpa Gen, “May I speak a little with Ye Jian? By yourself?"
Grandfather Gen was not surprised because Xia Jinyuan knew Ye Jian. When Xia Jinyuan caught the three criminals a few days ago, it was Ye Jian who helped her.
Grandpa Gen smiled. Xia Jinyuan noticed that Ye Jian was looking at her coldly because of what he said. His thin lips slightly curved into a smile.
“Ye Jian, about what happened at your school, there are some things I want to remind you of. Please pass here, ” Xia Jinyuan said. Shined by the morning sunlight, his face behind the military cap looked even more brilliant, adding a hint of comfort to his smile.
"spirit."
Since Grandfather Gen agreed, Ye Jian was speechless. He lifted his foot and walked to the place Xia Jinyuan pointed to.
He didn't like to have too much contact with such a dangerous man.
He's a little mysterious. And it was already Ye Jian's habit to keep a distance from people he could not fully understand.
“I'm sorry for testing you at school a few days ago. I hope father/mother can understand our position,” he explained with a soft voice that sounded like a rare and luxurious musical instrument. “And you have nothing to fear I will do anything to you. I won't put you under surveillance.”
Ye Jian raised his head and looked at him, fearlessly. With a gentle smile, he said calmly, “Captain Xia, you misunderstood. I'm not scared. I just don't want to call you too often. I'll leave if you have nothing else to say to me.”

He turned around and was about to leave, without waiting for his answer.
“Nak, you're grumpy.” Xia Jinyuan clasped her long, strong hand onto Ye Jian's fragile shoulder to stop him from leaving. “Which is different from what Grandpa Gen told me.”
With a resigned smile, he said, “Grandfather Gen is watching us. Are you sure you want to look behind me while listening to me?”
Right now, there was only one idea in Ye Jian's mind. He's gonna drop this major to the ground!
On second thought, he knew that it was an impossible mission for him for now.
But he can try it in the future!
“Captain Xia, just finish your words at once, thank you.” As he turned around, he shook his shoulders skillfully. Like a fish, he swam away from Xia Jinyuan's control.
He had received training for almost half a month, coupled with his talent, he had made significant progress.
His dexterity made Xia Jinyuan raise her eyebrows. After smiling slickly, he looked at Ye Jian calmly with his pitch-black eyes. With a serious and cold expression on his face, he said, “Listen, Ye Jian. We have made sure that Liao Jian, as well as his parents, is in trouble. Please notice his presence in the school for us.”
“I was going to meet you and tell you about this issue on my trip today. I did not expect we would meet at the entrance of our military camp,” Xia Jinyuan said. His black eyes contained an infinite coldness during the time he started doing business. “All you need to do is watch her, to see if she does anything suspicious. If you notice any problems, you can report directly to Principal Chen!”
...Chapter 51: Entering a Military Camp...
Ye Jian knew it was better not to ask why he chose her. The army has its own reasons for choosing him.
He listened to Xia Jinyuan's instructions calmly. When he finished speaking, Ye Jian nodded lightly, “Alright, I will pay attention to him.” after the pause, he added, “That's it. I'm goin. Good bye."
He immediately turned around after saying goodbye, without the slightest hesitation!
Xia Jinyuan raised her hand to straighten the outskirts of her military hat. The faint smile at the corner of his lips looked like a gentle breeze caressing the surface of the water and was about to disappear.
Did the girl see me as a terrible monster?
Xia Jinyuan jumped into the car that arrived beside her. From the rearview mirror, he saw Grandpa Gen and Ye Jian's back shrinking even more. Finally, they disappeared from his sight.
The sound of cars disappearing among the trees. As Ye Jian entered the military camp, he turned around and saw the winding road on the mountain. All he could see was a lush green forest and a few birds flying under the blue sky decorated with white clouds.
In the military camp, every soldier they met would salute Grandfather Gen respectfully.
Ye Jian behaved well and followed Grandpa Gen closely. He did not look around or ask out of curiosity. He acted as if he had visited the military camp many times.
“Five Troopers, ask your leader to prepare a list of soldiers who have received training. I'll test it tomorrow night.” Grandfather Gen commanded the soldiers in front of him with very serious facial expressions. Every word he spoke contained unquestionable authority.
Suddenly, a series of deafening gunshots sounded from the front.
Ye Jian, who lowered his head, suddenly raised his head. His heart was beating with a rhythm similar to the sound of that shot. It seemed like something was awakening from within him and was about to break away.

“That's the sound of a shot. The soldiers are doing shooting drills, ” Grandpa General said. He gestured for the soldiers to leave and turned to the side to look at Ye Jian with a smile. “I'll show you the shooting range next time. Today, I'll take you somewhere else.”
But their goal today is in line with the shooting range. They did not stop walking until they arrived in front of a room guarded by soldiers. It was a firearm room where soldiers with ordinary-level permission could only access it twice a week.
PROFESSIONAL AND ACCURATE, WITH DEEP UNDERSTANDING.
The slogan was hung in front of the firearm room. Each soldier can read it as they enter and exit the room.
As Ye Jian walked into the room, his eyes shone as if there was fire in his pitch-black pupils.
A layman would definitely be frightened if he saw a row of black pistols glittering with a cold light and a metal glow in front of him.
As for Ye Jian, all he knew was the burning desire in his blood! It was a desire to become stronger. He wanted to touch her immediately!
He turned around and saw Grandpa Gen behind him. With a slight vibration of spirit in his clear voice, he asked, “Grandfather, may...may I touch it?”
A voice shouted in his head, telling him to extend his hand to grab one of the weapons that shone with a cold light!
He wants to hold it. He wondered what the sensation was like when a bullet was fired from his gun!
