CHAPTER 455: CHAPTER 272: LEAVING

The Captain standing anxiously at the doorway, upon seeing Luo Ye approaching, let out a sigh of relief: "Ye, I finally found you. Come with me, don’t make the chief wait too anxiously." As soon as the words fell, he had already walked quite a distance ahead.

Xing Nong clung to the corner of Luo Ye’s clothes, lowering his voice: "Luoluo, seeing how urgently he was looking for you just now, ask him which chief is looking for you, he wouldn’t say."

"Yes, it’s very mysterious." Yaoguang also looked worried.

"Don’t worry, I haven’t done anything wrong, it’s going to be fine." Luo Ye reassured them, and as she turned around, she almost bumped into Zhan Hao, waving her hand: "Eldest Young Master Zhan, we’ll talk when I get back."

"I just wanted to tell you..." Zhan Hao started to say something but Luo Ye had already sprinted far away, he shook his head helplessly: "The training indeed shows great progress."

"Zhan Hao, what exactly did you want to tell Luoluo?" Xing Nong asked.

"I wanted to tell her that the guard is from Military Commander Lin Xibe, but she dashed off like a rabbit," Zhan Hao shook his head and returned to his room.

"Ah?" Xing Nong and Yaoguang exchanged a glance and walked in another direction.

Following the Captain in a big loop, Luo Ye finally stopped in front of a room door. Looking at the room number, she was speechless; this room was not very far from her own room, yet the Captain had led her on a route four times longer than necessary.

As the door opened and Luo Ye saw which chief was inside the room, she immediately understood the Captain’s earlier behavior; evidently, it was an attempt to recruit her behind her own organization’s back.

Luo Ye saluted: "Greetings, Chief!"

"Hello." Lin Xibe returned the salute, then pointed to the sofa by the coffee table: "Sit down, don’t be nervous." His gaze shifted to the Lieutenant: "Xiao Niu, please leave, I want to speak privately with Luo Ye."

"Yes!" The Lieutenant saluted, then turned and left.

Lin Xibe looked at Luo Ye with a cheerful expression: "Xiao Luo, you are a smart kid, you should understand my meaning. Come to Army B."

Luo Ye shook her head: "Chief, I’m sorry, I am committed to my choice, I want to join Army A."

"Xiao Luo, listen to me, indeed Army A is a place every soldier aspires to be, but think about it, being selected to join Army A as a freshman, will the veteran members of Army A feel comfortable about it?

Also, the newly selected top soldiers, would they respect you? Joining Army A might seem to have a bright future, but the path is actually very tortuous.

Think about it, Army A has been established for over a decade, filled with elite talent, where would you stand after four years?

On the other hand, our special operations squad in Army B is different; it’s completely similar to Army A in nature, but it is a newly established branch with no old-timers or newcomers; once you choose it, you become an old-timer.

After four years, you would definitely be an elite in the special operations squad. It’s quite straightforward; the operations you participate in over these four years, I would fully authorize to you, free from suppression by senior members.

The other terms are the same as Army A; after graduating, your military rank will be elevated by one rank, plus the rank accumulated by earning First-class Merit, and as of now, you will be a Lieutenant in four years, and I can assure you, you would be the most influential Lieutenant in Army B. How about it, come to Army B?"

"Chief..." Luo Ye paused slightly: "I am well aware of my own situation, you definitely aren’t lowering your standards just because you think highly of me.

During training, my performance is good, but it still pales in comparison to Zhan Hao, and Liu Xing and Yan Han also perform marginally better than me.

As for accidentally solving a case and earning First-class Merit, I believe not only the trainees and soldiers, including yourself, Chief, would think I was just lucky.

Even though my performance during the drills was decent, everyone sees it as a result of team coordination, which doesn’t prove my strength. Given all these, I’m quite curious, what motivates you to do this?"

"You are indeed very intelligent. If I said earlier it was for another reason to recruit you, now, I genuinely see potential in you..." Lin Xibe paused: "I heard you have two fellow townsmen who also got into GF University, and you three are very close, but one did not get selected for Army A. If you are willing to join the special operations team, I promise you, I can arrange for her to join too."

Luo Ye smiled: "Chief, you still haven’t told me the reason."

"The reason..." Lin Xibe gave a bitter smile: "Naturally, it’s because of the talent. If you don’t come, I will also lose a subordinate I truly appreciate."

Luo Ye pondered momentarily, then realized: "Are you talking about Tianzhi?"
