Chapter 69: He Is Suspected of Destroying Military Assets. Do You Think He Should Be Taken Away?

When District Chief Ding saw Xu Yan still hesitating,

he started to panic.

---

"Wait a minute…

"Didn't he just look excited when I mentioned the rare defense set?"

---

"Then why is he shaking his head now!?"

---

Could it be…

that the grade isn't high enough?"

---

District Chief Ding Raises the Stakes

District Chief Ding gritted his teeth.

This time, his voice had a subtle tremor to it.

---

"The ultimate rare defense suit…"

---

Xu Yan perked up immediately.

---

"Deal!"

---

A Sudden Agreement

District Chief Ding: "…"

Xu Yan: "…"

---

Xu Yan had agreed so quickly

that even he was surprised by himself.

---

It was just a reflexive response.

---

District Chief Ding had offered too much…

and before Xu Yan could even process it properly,

his mouth had already said "deal."

---

Clarifying Some Doubts

After calming down,

Xu Yan decided to ask an important question.

---

"District Chief Ding, I have a question. Just hypothetically…"

---

"How likely is it that Gao Yang, Bai Ding, and Wang Ke could join the military region with me?"

---

"Would that cause any issues?"

---

His Concerns

Xu Yan knew that by normal recruitment standards,

Wang Ke was strong enough,

but Gao Yang and Bai Ding…?

No one would take them seriously.

---

But for Xu Yan,

all three of them were important.

---

"Without them, I wouldn't dare join the military region directly."

---

Xu Yan expected that District Chief Ding might hesitate,

maybe even refuse.

---

But to his shock…

District Chief Ding answered instantly and excitedly:

---

"No problem!"

---

An Unexpected Response

"All three of them fully meet the criteria for special recruitment into the army!"

---

"If you want, you can bring them to report in TODAY!"

---

Xu Yan: "???"

---

"Wait, WHAT!?"

---

Why Was It So Easy?

District Chief Ding didn't care about the specifics.

---

Maybe Xu Yan didn't want to leave his friends behind.

Maybe he needed them for emotional support.

---

None of that mattered.

---

The only important thing was getting Xu Yan to join the military.

---

District Chief Ding had a hunch—

that in a few years,

Xu Yan would become a powerhouse capable of fighting an army alone.

---

If they secured him now,

then Dayan City and the military region would gain a true pillar of strength.

---

That was all that mattered.

---

Xu Yan Accepts

Xu Yan nodded.

---

"Alright, District Chief Ding. I'm willing to join the Dayan City Military Region."

---

"But I have to talk to my teammates first and ask for their opinions."

---

"If they agree, then we can finalize everything."

---

Hearing this,

District Chief Ding finally relaxed.

---

Principal Huang's Approval

District Chief Ding turned to Principal Huang.

---

"Principal Huang, does No. 8 Middle School have any objections to these four students joining the military?"

---

Principal Huang shook his head.

---

"No objections at all. This is a great opportunity for No. 8 Middle School."

---

A Huge Honor for the School

Having four students specially recruited into the military?

That was an incredible achievement for No. 8 Middle School.

---

It would serve as a powerful advertisement

and boost enrollment for years to come.

---

No high school in Dayan City's history

had ever had four students join the military at once.

---

If they publicized it properly,

next year's enrollment would skyrocket.

---

But One Last Question…

One thing still puzzled Principal Huang.

---

"Xu Yan, earlier you said you still wanted to take the college entrance exam."

"Were you serious?"

---

Xu Yan nodded firmly.

---

"Of course!"

---

"Getting into a good university is not just my goal—

"It's my parents' expectation too."

---

Hearing that,

Principal Huang smiled.

---

A Different Motivation

Xu Yan's real reason for taking the college entrance exam?

---

He knew that students who got into top universities

often received high scholarships.

---

Some even got rare equipment rewards from the city.

---

One student in the past had been gifted a rare item…

just for getting accepted into Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

---

If he won the provincial or national championship…

who knew what kind of epic rewards he could get?

---

And the exam itself only lasted two or three days.

---

It was an easy opportunity for big rewards.

---

Meanwhile…

As Xu Yan finished his discussion,

he turned to District Chief Ding.

---

"If there's nothing else, I'll go find my teammates."

"I still need to convince them to join me in the military."

---

District Chief Ding smirked.

---

"No need."

---

A Surprise Move

"They should be arriving soon… on a military vehicle."

---

Xu Yan: "…Excuse me?"

---

They Were Already Taken!?

Unbeknownst to Xu Yan,

District Chief Ding had already planned ahead.

---

The moment Xu Yan said he needed his teammates,

District Chief Ding had sent a message to his subordinates—

to bring all three of them in.

---

He wasn't going to take any risks.

---

This was too important.

He had to handle it himself.

---

Meanwhile, Back at No. 8 Middle School…

Outside the school gates,

several military vehicles pulled up.

---

In front of everyone, Gao Yang, Bai Ding, and Wang Ke were escorted into the cars.

---

Immediate Panic

The students watching were horrified.

---

"What's happening!?"

"Why are Gao Yang, Bai Ding, and Wang Ke being taken away by the military!?"

---

Someone whispered darkly:

---

"Don't you know?"

"During joint training, No. 8 Middle School was accused of blatant fraud."

---

"They even caused the training system to collapse!"

---

An Even Scarier Thought

"The joint training system was co-developed by the Education Bureau and the military."

---

"That means some of the damaged system…

"Belonged to the military."

---

"He's suspected of destroying military assets."

---

"Do you think he should be taken away for a crime like that?"

---

End of Chapter.
