Chapter 704: Chapter 706: Chen Di’s Accidental Guess and Hit

“Brother-in-law, how did you find out?!”

In the hospital room, upon hearing Lin Fei mention whether Chen Qi was part of the Hawk Special Team, Chen Di, who had originally intended to comfort Lin Fei not to worry about not seeing Chen Qi, the violent policewoman, immediately showed a shocked expression and almost subconsciously countered with a question.

Clearly, Chen Di had never imagined that Lin Fei, who he thought to be an ordinary corporate executive, could guess which unit Chen Qi was in.

If Chen Qi had been in one of the other regular battalion-level units within the Azure Dragon Military District, Lin Fei might have guessed correctly and Chen Di would not have been so shocked.

After all, regular battalion-level units within the military don’t fall under categories that require secrecy.

Even if Lin Fei had guessed or confirmed it through certain channels, it would not have been any big deal, as the Azure Dragon Military District has many common battalion-level units.

But, the Hawk Special Team was clearly different!

As the top Special Forces unit of the Azure Dragon Military District, any information about the Hawk Special Team was absolutely confidential for anyone outside the military!

Even soldiers of the military, and even some mid- and high-ranking officers, were not privy to the existence of the Hawk Special Team.

To some extent, the existence of the Hawk Special Team was a military secret!

Unless it were Chen Di, who also served as the third spokesman of the Azure Dragon Military District. Merely based on Chen Qi’s rank, he wouldn’t have been eligible to know of the Hawk Special Team’s existence, let alone enter its base.

Because Chen Di, taking advantage of his position as the third spokesman of the Azure Dragon Military District, sneaking close to the Hawk Special Team’s base, he ended up getting beaten by his military elder dad, who was also Chen Qi’s father’s younger brother, and landed in the Military District Hospital.

This clearly showed the importance and secrecy of the Hawk Special Team within the Azure Dragon Military District.

Hence, the fact that Lin Fei could know about the Hawk Special Team’s existence naturally shocked Chen Di beyond belief.

“Brother-in-law, tell me the truth. Did my sister secretly give you a call and tell you she’s with the Hawk Special Team? How careless! My sister really shouldn’t have told even you about such things! This is a military secret, and if it gets out, brother-in-law, you’re going to be in big trouble!”

“Did I say your sister told me?”

“Brother-in-law, what time do you think it is for you to be joking around?” With no intention of listening to Lin Fei’s explanation and firmly convinced that Lin Fei had learned of the Hawk Special Team’s existence from Chen Qi, Chen Di’s brows furrowed gravely, “Brother-in-law, you’re not one of our military personnel. You may not realize the importance of the Hawk Special Team! I can tell you, all information about the Hawk Special Team is absolutely a military secret. My sister was really foolish to tell you. If it gets out, both you and my sister will be in deep trouble! Brother-in-law, I’m telling you, don’t talk about the Hawk Special Team with anyone. You must keep it to yourself, for both your and my sister’s sake. You must forget about the Hawk Special Team!”

“Why should I forget about a unit I’ve served in?”

“Brother-in-law, this is not something to joke about, you really shouldn’t mess around. I’m only thinking of you— What did you just say, where have you served?”

“When I joined the military, I was assigned to the Azure Dragon Military District. In my second year, I joined the Hawk Special Team. By now, Hawk should still be in the mountains, right?”

Hearing Lin Fei’s retort and confirming that he hadn’t misheard earlier, Chen Di looked unbelievably shocked, his mouth slightly open and his eyes wide. This was even more shocking than what he had heard from Lin Fei about Chen Qi possibly being with the Hawk Special Team a few minutes ago.

To put it more accurately, it wasn’t just shock—it was complete and utter disbelief!

Chen Di remained in this state for a good two or three minutes before he slowly regained his composure.

His gaze fixed on Lin Fei, laden with complex emotions, Chen Di said in a resigned tone, “Brother-in-law, I understand now why my sister fell for you.”

Before Lin Fei could reply, Chen Di spoke again, his voice still tinged with resignation, “A man with a sense of humor like yours, brother-in-law, is indeed very likeable to women. But since it’s just the two of us here, there’s no need to keep up the act. Besides, I must remind you, brother-in-law. You can joke about the Hawk Special Team with me all you want— at most, you’re just having some private fun with my sister. But to anyone else, even those you’re very close to, you mustn’t say too much! I’m really saying this for your own good, brother-in-law. You have to listen to me this time.”

“I’m originally from the Azure Dragon Military District. My sister was fortunate enough to join Hawk Special Team for training due to a misfortune. It’s no problem joking between us about the Hawk Special Team. However, if you joke about the Hawk Special Team with others, you’re digging a hole for yourself. If you end up attracting the attention of our military’s intelligence department. Brother-in-law, you’ll be in a lot of trouble. If that happens, not just me, even my father might not be able to save you.”

“So after all this time, you think I’ve been joking with you?!”

Originally, Lin Fei had a touch of nostalgia for his service with the Hawk Special Team. He had wished to ask Chen Di about the current status of the Hawk Special Team and reminisce about the days he had served there. However, hearing Chen Di mistaking his nostalgia for a bit of humor, Lin Fei felt a moment of stupefaction, and his expression darkened involuntarily.

This was because Lin Fei still had some consideration for Chen Di, his cheap brother-in-law, who, despite being a bit too verbose, had a certain sincerity when he called him “brother-in-law.”

At this moment, Lin Fei was probably ready to slap Chen Di all the way to the Tai Man Ocean.

The Hawk Special Team was able to become the most elite Special Forces unit of the Azure Dragon Military District largely due to the efforts of Lin, the esteemed officer himself!

“Brother-in-law, it’s not fun anymore, eh? It’s just us two here; if you keep this up, it’s not humor anymore.”

“Which eye of yours sees me pretending?!”

“With both of my eyes, brother-in-law, you don’t look like someone who came out of Hawk. Besides, every member of Hawk is an elite among elites. I’ve been in the military for so long and I’ve never heard of a Hawk member who ended up working as a security guard after retiring!”

“Did I tell you I retired from Hawk?”

“Then what could it be, brother-in-law, are you saying you retired from Dragon Soul?”

“How did you know?!”
