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.
