Chapter 836: Chapter 556: Truly Self-Destructing (Part 1)_2

Why would the Leader buy something like this? That’s... for little kids, isn’t it!

Ever since Fen Xiao was taken away for troubling Mu Lin in C Province, Wu Qian had become the person who constantly stayed by Mi Zheng’s side; even now, she had the fortune of seeing Mi Zheng’s true face.

And this made Wu Qian even more infatuated with Mi Zheng; she felt even more that she held a different place in Mi Zheng’s heart.

Mi Zheng was more handsome than she had imagined.

It’s just a pity that Mi Zheng had never... touched her; and Wu Qian, she didn’t have the courage to get too close, deeply afraid that she might inadvertently transgress, being banished from Mi Zheng’s side.

As for Fen Xiao, Mi Zheng opted for a strategy of indifferent neglect; her life and death were of no concern to him, and the secrets she held about Sky Net were insignificant to Mi Zheng.

The deepest waters of Sky Net, he alone knew them.

Thinking one could learn everything about him from Fen Xiao was truly... an impossible task.

Of course, Mu Lin was aware of this; and the matters of C Province were now irrelevant to her.

Ignoring Wu Qian, Mi Zheng walked straight towards the barracks, the expression on his face a complete contrast to when he was in front of Mu Lin.

Wu Qian, unconcerned, followed him. She had grown accustomed to it; because Mi Zheng was just such a person. Moreover, he was the Leader, and Wu Qian had never forgotten her own status.

In this regard, she was better than Fen Xiao.

"Leader, let me help you with that," Wu Qian offered from behind Mi Zheng, extending her hand to take the object he was holding, but Mi Zheng dodged her.

"No need." The voice was ice-cold, devoid of warmth, the aloofness clear.

In Mi Zheng’s eyes, Wu Qian was nothing, keeping her by his side was merely a convenience; he couldn’t be bothered to replace her.

Pursing her lips, Wu Qian drew back her hand, standing still to watch Mi Zheng’s retreating figure without a word, no longer following.

Why did she feel that the Leader was a bit strange today?

Still so cold, yet among the frigidness, there seemed to be a hint of warmth; but she felt as if he was angry, only to immediately dismiss the thought.

Really strange.

Could it be?

Related to the child’s clothes in the Leader’s hands?

Wu Qian speculated.

Entering his rest room, Mi Zheng placed the small gift box on the bed.

Having been in B City for a few months now, he still could not find any trace of Mu Lin; indeed, he had forgotten, this was B City, the Jing family’s territory.

And that person monitored him very closely.

His lips curled up leisurely.

This Time, it had not been easy to see Mu Lin at all; tsk, tsk, tsk... it was better back in C Province, where seeing her was much easier than here, where Mu Lin was too well-protected.

Just now, he didn’t know why he had bought the child’s clothes. When he came to his senses, he had already paid for them; so he took them with him.

Cold eyes resting on the cute little clothes before him, Mi Zheng’s gaze was unfathomable, his thin lips pursed, his thoughts unclear.

The days that followed remained calm. Since the trip with Gu Muqing, Mu Lin had lost the desire to go out again; the feeling that day had been quite unpleasant, giving her the sense that she was still prey under Mi Zheng’s watchful eyes, and she disliked the way he looked at her.

To protect the child in her womb, it was better not to go out.

Moreover, walking around with a swollen belly was not comfortable.

Mu Lin was beginning to miss her previously agile movements.

Once the child was born, it looked like she would really need to train properly with the others. She expected that by then, her agility and speed would have decreased substantially.

By that time, Youlan and the others would probably have already joined Ying Sun; they hadn’t trained together in a long while.

This Time, it seemed they would have to wait for her.

Or perhaps it should be said, in fact, they were always waiting for her, and she didn’t know when she could officially return to Ying Sun; such is the uncertainty of life.

So much had happened in this short year, and it had not been easy for her to get some rest at last.

...

Finally, the time that Jing Youlan and everyone else had been waiting for, arrived.

It also meant that the mad assessment was approaching.

At this moment, right at midnight around twelve o’clock, Jing Youlan and his group received notification from the Instructor to gather. They were not allowed to bring anything.

There were quite a number of people from B City’s Military Area troops who wanted to participate in the Ying Sun selection; at a glance, there had to be at least forty or fifty people.

But one didn’t know how many would be able to withstand the assessment and torment of Ying Sun’s members.

According to what Jing Youlan had learned from Mu Lin, those in Ying Sun were a group of... bored individuals.

"Ruthless and merciless," they definitely would not show any leniency to their subordinates; just thinking about it was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

"At ease, attention!" The iron-blooded voice rang out as three figures stood before Jing Chen and the others. He recognized the person in the middle, named Black Shark, the deputy team leader under his brother’s command.

It was said that aside from his brother, Black Shark was the most inflexible thinker in Ying Sun; often having only one track mind.

As for the other two, to be honest, he really didn’t recognize them.

Though Ying Sun’s members also trained here, they had little contact with the ordinary soldiers; because by the time their training finished, these soldiers had already been comfortably asleep in their beds.

This was one of the differences between Special Forces Soldiers and ordinary soldiers.

The training of Special Forces Soldiers was far more terrifying than that of regular soldiers.

Standing there, Black Shark’s eyes, cold to the point of lacking any warmth, blandly swept over everyone before pausing for two seconds as they passed over Jing Youlan and the others.
