Chapter 831: Chapter 553: That’s Also True (One More)

"I understand," Black Shark nodded.

He had merely mentioned it in passing. Everyone inside Ying Sun knew that if someone wanted to get in through connections, they were kidding themselves. They would have no chance, not in this lifetime.

Who was Boss Jing in these matters? Don’t expect him to turn a blind eye.

Even though their sister-in-law had not undergone any assessment, her combat abilities and medical skills were incomparable to anyone else; they had never thought that their Boss had found a Military Doctor who completely outclassed them. They couldn’t help feeling a bit struck.

However, if one had such abilities, like the person Boss had taken a fancy to at the boxing club previously, they might be treated "specially". Still, after joining, they would have to go through the assessment of all their comrades. If someone failed the assessment, they shouldn’t expect any favors, not even for the Boss’s sake, at least on occasion.

Afterward, he briefly discussed the assessment ideas with Jing Chen, who listened quietly and sporadically offered an opinion, but that was pretty much it.

He generally stayed out of these affairs.

Within Ying Sun, Jing Chen’s main role was as a decision-maker. Everyone else in Ying Sun’s Special Forces team meticulously arranged and carried out everything else.

Now, Ying Sun was no longer what it was at the start. Except for the major decisions, there was no need to involve Jing Chen in everything.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

At this moment, in the sixth company of Snipers.

They had just finished a round of training, and the soldiers were now sitting on the ground, resting.

Jing Youlan was practically sprawled out on the ground.

The recent training had indeed been intense. He had nearly reached his limit; it felt like his body was about to fall apart.

"Hey, are you sure your hand can handle this?" Though it had been more than three months, that injury of Jing Youlan had truly frightened everyone, especially when those who came later heard what the Doctor had said.

If it weren’t for Mu Lin...the outcome was something none of them wanted or could accept.

"Don’t worry," Jing Youlan moved the arm that had been injured before, "There’s no issue at all. I told you, there’s not even a scar on my shoulder now. You can’t even tell I was injured there." He didn’t need half a month, but Mu Lin insisted on keeping him at home for half a month, forbidding him from doing anything.

Training was in his bones. He managed for the first few days, but after that, it was nearly intolerable.

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances. "Actually, you should’ve kept a scar." Yang Yuebin said, "For a man, especially since we are soldiers, scars are our medals and proof that we’ve survived."

That’s what he believed; and they were men, after all. For girls, it was indeed necessary to avoid scarring.

This was basically the sentiment shared by all soldiers in the force; with some female soldiers as exceptions.

"Next time, should we ask Mu Lin to mix up some less effective medicine for wounds?" Xia Zeyang raised his eyebrows, joking. He guessed that Mu Lin would probably just hand him over to someone else for treatment.

After hearing this, Yue Qiao smiled lightly, "You can only say that Mu Lin’s medical skills are too good." The medicine she formulated for wounds was probably what those girls outside dream of, especially for scar removal. There were also the skincare products she had previously given them to wash their faces with.

Despite being battered by wind and rain and baked by the sun, she found her skin was still so good, or rather, even better.

Not far away, the Instructor and the Instructor watched the lively group of five, their expressions contemplative.

"Do you really have the heart to let them go?" The Instructor questioned as he looked at everyone.

If it were him, he certainly wouldn’t be willing.

"Could it be that I can stop them against their will?" He glanced at the Instructor beside him, then back at Jing Youlan and the others.

From the start, he knew that some people just couldn’t be held back. Jing Youlan and his group were never meant to stay long in his team. It was their greatest joy to be able to watch them grow step by step.

The Instructor sighed, "But with their skills and abilities, they don’t need to join Special Forces." Even Ying Sun.

"Though it’s said that any soldier who doesn’t aspire to be a Special Forces Soldier isn’t a good soldier, if one wishes to reach a higher level, isn’t staying in a force like ours better?" Joining Ying Sun only sounded better on paper.

Once they reached a certain age, if they couldn’t advance further, the same heartache awaited them: discharge and departure from the force.

In the Instructor’s view, Jing Youlan and the others were just young, filled with heroism, alive to undertake missions of Special Forces, but they didn’t understand anything.

Especially Jing Youlan, with his abilities and his background, if he didn’t join Ying Sun, he could advance far more quickly than any ordinary person, just like the other members of the Jing family.

However, he looked as if he didn’t care. Sometimes the Instructor really couldn’t understand why Jing Youlan and his peers ended up in the military; after all, all of them were from influential families.

He had heard that Jing Youlan had been dumped into the military by Jing; now that didn’t seem apparent.

"Don’t you think that lately, they’ve been working even harder?" he asked rhetorically, turning to the Instructor, "I know you don’t want to let go, but they have to choose their own paths."

They had no right to obstruct or hinder them.

If they voluntarily stayed, he would welcome them, and whatever needed to be done, would be done.

There’s also the fact that "you’ve forgotten that Mu Lin is also in Ying Sun." All their efforts, they’re probably because of her.

"Actually, I heard from them before that Ying Sun was their goal, and that was also their promise to Mu Lin at the time." The girl who is now pregnant and a wife, but still a legend in their troops.

Of course, the fact that she managed to win over Jing Chen is even more legendary; that’s not something just anyone can achieve.

Who is Boss Jing? No woman wants to come near him in normal days.

And the injury on Jing Youlan’s arm, it really was all thanks to her back then; otherwise, the troops would have truly lost a good sniper.

Really grateful.

Time goes silent for two seconds, and then suddenly.

"Do you really think that this time Ying Sun just happened to want to recruit openly?" He raised a slight smile, his eyes calm, "I guess, it’s because of them." It has something to do with these youngsters here, or perhaps I should say, with Mu Lin too.

"Are you saying that Boss Jing made exceptions for them?" That can’t be!

"Do you think that’s possible?" Hearing his words, he glanced at him faintly, "Knowing Boss Jing’s temperament, making exceptions is absolutely impossible." He spoke with certainty.

Meaning that even for Jing Youlan, Jing Chen probably doesn’t have any special considerations; to join Ying Sun, it all depends on your brains and strength; otherwise, you’d have been torn apart by those guys inside a long time ago.

"Actually, many people should be grateful to them, otherwise Ying Sun wouldn’t really need too many new recruits now." More people doesn’t mean better; Ying Sun is the Special Forces within special forces here.

Hearing these words, the Instructor didn’t speak anymore, just sighed softly.

To be honest, he still hoped that not all of them would get in.

Just consider him selfish then.

Of course, at this moment, Jing Youlan and others who were casually chatting didn’t notice the conversation between the two officers, but it’s also irrelevant; whether they knew or not, it doesn’t really affect them.

After all, their goal from the beginning has been set and won’t likely change; at worst, if they can’t get in this time, they’ll look for another opportunity next time.

They will try their best.

...

A day’s training finally ends, and after dinner, a group of people casually find a spot to sit quietly.

"Ah..." The sigh of someone with a lot on their mind keeps rising one after another.

"I say, Zhou Yujun, can you stop with the sighing? It’s annoying me." Yang Yuebin kicks Zhou Yujun’s thigh, full of disdain.

"What’s wrong with my sighing, would you really stop being annoyed if I didn’t sigh?" He doesn’t believe that.

"Ah..."

As time draws closer, he guesses everyone is feeling troubled.

Previously, they were all looking forward to the chance to join Ying Sun, but when Ying Sun announced the assessment was drawing near, for some reason, they suddenly felt heavy.

They even started to doubt their own confidence.

Ying Sun is nearly every soldier’s dream and goal, but their thresholds are high, their demands are high; he heard from someone who participated in Ying Sun’s selection two years ago, that Ying Sun’s assessments are truly terrifying.

Excellence is the minimum, the rest... depends on their mood.

This year, he wonders how they will be treated.

Gaze subconsciously shifts to Jing Youlan sitting nearby, Jing Youlan says, "Don’t look at me, my brother doesn’t have any shortcuts." If there were shortcuts, why would he be working so hard here? It would be better to train with Ying Sun.

"Who’s asking about shortcuts?" Ji Shubai glances at him, "What they probably want to know is if you have any idea what kind of assessments Ying Sun has?" At least they could be mentally prepared if they knew.

Although they’ve more or less inquired about other Special Forces’ selections, Ying Sun seems... a bit more mysterious.

"I have no idea," Jing Youlan shakes his head bluntly, "You guys are not unaware of what kind of person I was before, a spoiled young master, who would have thought I would turn out like this." If he had known earlier, he would have let their boss train him properly long ago, so now, he wouldn’t be losing confidence like this.

His brother certainly wouldn’t treat him with ’special care’ just because of their relationship.

Jing Youlan really can’t be bothered to think too much about such things.

"That’s true," everyone agrees, nodding their heads.

Jing Youlan grits his teeth.
