Chapter 2961: Chapter 2981: They Change Faces Quite Fast!

Lin Chen, seeing the desired effect had been achieved, spoke no further, "Team leader, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to camp."

Kong Wenlong walked around the desk, with a friendly expression, and said, "You have gone through dangers and have safely returned, go rest well first. We can talk about other things later."

"Yes, Team Leader!"

Lin Chen turned and left, while Kong Wenlong, smiling, escorted him to the entrance before stopping.

Watching Lin Chen’s figure completely disappear, the smile on Kong Wenlong’s face vanished instantly, replaced by a grave expression.

It seems urgent to inform Chen Quan and the others to follow rules and refrain from provoking Lin Chen in the future, or they might not be able to handle the consequences.

Your backing is the Army Commander, but his is the Hall Master of the War God Mansion!

What can you use to contend with him?

Dying would be in vain!

After pondering for a moment, Kong Wenlong stood up to leave the office himself, as the matter was too sensitive to entrust to others.

Just as he was about to leave, Gao Ming and Chen Chong hastily entered the office.

"Boss, we saw Lin Chen return. Did he succeed in his promotion?"

"This kid advances so fast. If we don’t act early... hey, he might become difficult to handle later on."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Kong Wenlong, with a stern face, scolded, "We are comrades who fight side by side. Can’t you think well of him? You should learn more from him. Instead of gossiping, you would be better off spending that time on cultivation, enhancing your own strength!"

Pausing for a moment, Kong Wenlong huffed, "Don’t mention anything again that undermines unity. If I hear it again, severe punishment will follow. Now, get out!"

Gao Ming and Chen Chong came in eagerly, but were utterly confused as they were driven out of the command post.

The two were verbally thrashed, and even after walking some distance, they still hadn’t regained their composure.

"What’s gotten into the boss, did he take some drugs? We hadn’t even said anything, and he just unloaded on us with a barrage of scolding. Weren’t we just speaking what he was thinking?"

Gao Ming rubbed his chin, "Probably, there’s been some change we’re unaware of."

Chen Chong frowned, "He just went on a Closed Door Cultivation to break the realm, right? Even if he succeeded, he’s just middle grade, right? Does that warrant such a swift shift in attitude?"

Gao Ming shook his head, decisively saying, "It definitely isn’t that."

Chen Chong questioned doubtfully, "Then what could it be?"

Gao Ming shook his head, "I don’t know, but what’s certain is the captain has caved. He doesn’t dare to mess with Lin Chen anymore, that’s why he was so hurried and frantic in scolding us."

Chen Chong snorted, "He was the one wanting to face Lin Chen, and now he’s also the one backing off..."

Gao Ming gave a wry smile, "What can we do, he’s our boss. Ah, look at that."

Turning their heads, they saw Kong Wenlong hastily leaving the camp.

Gao Ming and Chen Chong exchanged glances, understanding the implication in each other’s eyes.

After meeting Lin Chen, the team leader’s sudden change in attitude towards Lin Chen, his scolding to the two, and his swift departure indicated something significant had happened.

It seemed they would have to steer clear of Lin Chen from now on!

The two turned and headed towards the camp. After a while, they came face to face with someone, and their expressions instantly changed.

Lin Chen!

"Captain Lin!"

"Captain Lin!"

Gao Ming and Chen Chong instinctively greeted him simultaneously, with an exceptionally gentle and enthusiastic tone.

Lin Chen paused, looking at the two who exchanged awkward glances, his lips curving slightly.

Was the effect of his conversation with Kong Wenlong this good?

"Captain Gao, Captain Chen, it’s been a while."

Gao Ming, with a full-faced smile, replied, "Indeed, under Captain Lin’s leadership, Team Three made a remarkable impact, which was very satisfying for us all. In the future, Ninth Division’s reputation may well depend on Team Three."

Lin Chen responded modestly, "You flatter me. I just caught them off guard. Next time, it might not be so easy."

Chen Chong, wearing a forced smile, said, "Captain Lin is too modest. In the future on the battlefield, we might need more help from you, Captain. If there were any offenses in the past, I hope Captain Lin won’t hold it against us and will be generous."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Captain Chen is being too polite. We are comrades, and mutual support is essential."

Gao Ming stepped aside, asking with a smile, "Captain Lin, where are you headed?"

Lin Chen replied, "I’m going to collect some supplies being replaced for Team Three."

Gao Ming reminded, "The captain just went out, he’s not around."

Lin Chen made a sound of acknowledgment and laughingly said, "Then I’ll wait until the captain returns."

Gao Ming winked, laughing, "Why wait for the captain to return? We can collect them first and complete the paperwork later. Besides, we from the Ninth Division are all like family, unlike those in the Military Supply Department who make a fuss over everything. Come on, I’ll accompany you to get the supplies, I handle this often and know the ropes well..."
