Chapter 725: Chapter 727

Jiang Liancheng left after finalizing the matter of Chen Di succeeding the Hawk Special Team’s political affairs. Privately, Jiang Liancheng exchanged a few words with Lin Fei.

Seeing that he could not persuade Lin Fei to return to the team, Jiang Liancheng left with a hint of regret.

“Work hard, if you perform well at Hawk, wait for next year’s Dragon Soul assessment, and let Lin recommend you to participate.”

Whether it was because he was annoyed that Lin Fei firmly refused his offer to return to the team, Jiang Liancheng left Chen Di with this remark before he departed.

Lin Fei, although he had already left Dragon Soul, had been a prominent figure in the fewer ranks of Dragon Soul, and bore glorious battle achievements during his service.

According to Dragon Soul’s custom, each year Lin Fei had the authority to recommend someone for the Dragon Soul assessment.

Those recommended by Lin Fei did not need to participate in the initial selection process of the Special Forces from various military districts. They could directly take part in the final Dragon Soul assessment.

Moreover, if Lin Fei recommended only one person in a year and strongly vouched for them, the individual he recommended was eligible to have Dragon Soul prepare a separate assessment just for them.

After learning about this from Jiang Liancheng, Chen Di’s gaze towards Lin Fei began to reveal a hint of envy.

Had it not been for Chen Dingguo’s rambling and spending additional time at Chen Qi’s sickbed, the moment Jiang Liancheng finished speaking, Chen Di might have been ready to metaphorically devour Lin Fei wholeheartedly.

For low and middle-ranking officers in various military districts who truly understood the nature and intelligence of Dragon Soul,

Dragon Soul was the Holy Land!

And for those who could have the chance to become one of Dragon Soul, many low to middle-ranking officers would be willing to give their all.

Just like how, after Chen Dingguo left, Chen Qi clung miserably to Lin Fei’s coattails.

“Brother-in-law, please recommend me! You must recommend me! You absolutely must recommend me! If you don’t recommend me, I have nothing to live for, and I might as well die!”

“Then go die.”

Although Lin Fei felt a sense of identity with his cheap brother-in-law due to the firmness of Chen Di’s plea, Chen Di was still far from being qualified for Lin Fei to recommend him to join Dragon Soul.

Let alone the fact that Chen Di had not yet officially taken up the position of political advisor for the Hawk Special Team. Even if Chen Di did take over, if he failed to earn the recognition of An Dehai and the other members of the Hawk Special Team, then clearly, Chen Di would still be unqualified.

After all, Lin Fei had also toiled for several years at Hawk Special Team before he was fortunate enough to pass the Dragon Soul assessment and become a member.

And Chen Di, who had played the role of a spokesperson for a few years, might have had a high enough military rank, but when it came to mission execution and personal combat abilities, he would clearly be outmatched.

To say nothing of joining Dragon Soul, if he actually went on missions with the Hawk Special Team and didn’t end up dragging them down, that would be nothing short of divine intervention.

To put it more precisely, whether Chen Di could keep up with the regular training of Hawk Special Team was itself a question.

After all, compared to the play-fighting of the rookie platoons, the daily training regime of Hawk Special Team had a yearly death toll.

Chen Di, this PR man used to spouting off, whether he could handle being the political commissar of the Hawk Special Team, was something Lin Fei was undoubtedly going to mark with a big question.

“Brother-in-law, please just agree to it. You know, I am your brother-in-law after all, I’ve even devoted my most beloved sister to you! How could you have the heart to refuse me? Can you really bear it? Brother-in-law, I know you’re just testing me, am I right? I feel there really is no need for that. Previously, Officer Jiang was moved by my sincerity. Why bother with such superfluities, brother-in-law?”

“Considering our relationship, brother-in-law, what’s there for you to hesitate about! Looking across the entire Azure Dragon Military District, no, across all of Mo Country’s military, you wouldn’t find a more suitable candidate than me. So, for my sister’s sake, just agree!”

If it were anything else, Lin Fei might have given in to Chen Di’s persistent pleading, considering the face of Chen Qi, the violent policewoman.

But when it came to recommending Chen Di to join Dragon Soul, it was clear Lin Fei had no intention of budging.

“I stopped paying attention to Dragon Soul’s affairs after I left. These past few years, I haven’t recommended anyone to join Dragon Soul. So, cut the crap. Go do what you have to do, it’s still uncertain if you can stick it out at Hawk.”

Dismissing Chen Di with a wave of his hand, Lin Fei walked straight to Chen Qi’s bedside, wanting to check if the woman had awoken.

After all, the woman had been unconscious for quite a while. According to what the doctor had said earlier, she should have woken up by now.

“Lin Fei, what are you doing?! You wouldn’t be thinking of harming my sister, would you? Don’t even think about it! With me here, you won’t lay a finger on my sister!”

Lin Fei wanted to sit on Chen Qi’s hospital bed to closely observe the woman’s unconscious state. However, Chen Di clearly did not intend to give Lin Fei that opportunity.

As Lin Fei took a step towards the bed, Chen Di moved ahead of him to the bedside, spreading his arms and warily sizing up Lin Fei, as though guarding against a notorious womanizer.

“Roll out yourself, or I’ll help you roll out. Choose!”

With his mind preoccupied by Chen Qi’s condition, Lin Fei wasn’t in the mood for Chen Di’s nonsense and coldly issued a final ultimatum.

That was due to Chen Qi still being unconscious. Lin Fei didn’t want to cause any mishaps with Chen Di that might wake her and lead to misunderstandings.

If it weren’t for this reason, Lin Fei would probably have already kicked Chen Di, this disgraceful roadblock, out of the hospital room.

“Brother-in-law, let me be frank with you! If you want to keep things good with my sister, you’d better hurry up and agree to recommend me to join Dragon Soul. Otherwise, don’t blame me for breaking you two up.”

“You tired of living?!”

“That depends on whether you want to keep things good with my sister or not.”

“What are you guys doing?” Just as Chen Di was arrogantly threatening Lin Fei, and Lin Fei was about to physically suppress Chen Di. Chen Qi, who had fallen unconscious from physical exhaustion in Hawk’s training field, awoke slowly.

The sudden awakening of Chen Qi caught both Lin Fei and Chen Di off guard momentarily. However, it was only for an instant.

After that moment of stupor, both Lin Fei and Chen Di regained composure almost simultaneously.

Lin Fei, intending to kick Chen Di out of the way, wanted to get near Chen Qi first.

However, Chen Di had been in the military for a number of years. As Lin Fei was about to kick, Chen Di immediately turned around, clambering to the front of Chen Qi’s bed, and began crying out to her.

“Sis, my dear sis! You finally woke up. If you hadn’t, you would have been defiled by my brother-in-law…”
