Chapter 97: Is It Talent Or A Bluff?
Lin Haoran almost missed his footing.
The female soldiers next to him had ugly expressions on their faces.
However, this entire ruckus wasn’t over.
When Lin Haoran was finished with leading the soldiers out while maintaining his gentle expression, he saw Commander Tang Ruidong at one corner.
Confusion flashed across his eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
“Greetings, Commander.”
Tang Ruidong waved his hand and said nothing. He passed by Lin Haoran and headed towards Lu Ye’s group.
After taking two steps forward, he stopped and turned around. “Haoran, come to my office later at night.”
A glint of darkness inhabited Lin Haoran’s eyes.
He responded in a collected tone, “Yes, Commander.”
As it turned out, Commander Tang saw the entire thing, didn’t he?
Lin Haoran gritted his teeth in fury, but there was nothing else he could do. He still had to try hard to maintain his expression.
Lu Ye… you just wait!
At this moment, Lu Ye was letting the soldiers form a group and hone their shooting skills.
He allowed his vice instructors to teach the soldiers while he proceeded to Gu Yan’s group and asked seriously, “Comrade Gu Yan, have you practiced shooting before?”
He looked quite cold again. Still, Lu Ye was indeed stern in formal settings.
Hence, even though Gu Yan really wanted to laugh, she had to cooperate with Captain Lu.
She also responded in a serious manner, “Instructor, I have trained a few times when I just joined the special training squad.”
At that time, Gu Yan wanted to keep a low profile. Since she was still adjusting to her new life, she didn’t want to show off her skills.
Did she only practice a few times to achieve results like that?
Is this really talent?
Lin Xiaoyu, who was near the group, mumbled, “She can really bluff. She probably trained very hard in private!”
Zhang Cuihua thought so too, so she exclaimed without hesitation, “Yes, exactly!”
Unfortunately, the two girls weren’t that far from Gu Yan’s location. With her good hearing, Lin Xiaoyu’s bitter words ended up reaching her ears.
Now, it was definitely time to set Lin Xiaoyu straight.
Gu Yan opened her red lips and glared at the other girl. “Private training? Forgive me for my lack of information, but I really don’t know where I can even train. After all, I didn’t have the convenient resources that Comrade Lin Xiaoyu had. I heard your brother taught you shooting personally. Right?”
Just when everyone was about to forget that Lin Xiaoyu betrayed them, Gu Yan gave them a friendly reminder, deepening the bad impression of the former in the mind of others.
Everyone directed a strange look at Lin Xiaoyu again.
Lin Xiaoyu bit her lips. She was quite upset, but there was nothing she could do about Gu Yan.
Those whispers irked her even more.
Not far away, even Guo Rou had a complicated expression as she looked at Lin Xiaoyu. She soon shook her head.
As time passed by, she became even more disappointed with Lin Xiaoyu.
While Gu Yan was talking to Lin Xiaoyu, Lu Ye was standing on the side.
After hearing Gu Yan mention a private place to train, he touched his chin in contemplation.
During this time, Tang Ruidong approached them. He showed a rare smile. “Everyone, continue practicing. Don’t interrupt your training because of me.”
“Yes!”
Lu Ye grinned. “Commander Tang, why did you come? Are you worried I can’t lead them well?”
“You have long known that I arrived, haven’t you?” Tang Ruidong asked.
