Inside the small auditorium, it was so quiet that only the sound of files flipping could be heard.
That female reporter still couldn’t believe the report that she saw with her own eyes. She looked at it one more time. The expression of surprise on her face faded away gradually and replaced it with an expression of admiration.
Zhao Huzi took a sip of the cool tea leisurely, a faint sneer at the corner of his eyes, “What? Are you still against it?”
That female reporter closed her pair of eyes that were releasing spirits and tried hard to calm down her unsettled mood. According to the information, at that concert in the State of Korea, if the terrorist attacks had succeeded, not only would it have killed and injured countless people, there would’ve also been a terrible influence.
A terrorist attack on a counter-terrorism concert… it gave the female reporter creeps as she thought about it.
That female reporter couldn’t understand the preciousness of the nano battle suit, but the harmfulness of drugs, even a three-year-old child was very clear about it. It was a type of cancer that could ruin one’s family!
The Golden Triangle, a special environment with complex relationships… if a big drug lord was familiar with the pattern of how police forces handled cases, it would be very devastating. The influence of its social significance would be far-reaching.
That female reporter exhaled a long breath. With these two merits alone, Qin Fen could be said to have saved countless lives.
That female reporter opened her bright eyes. Her tone also regained the calm it had in the beginning, and followed the professional ethics that reporters should have, “General, I no longer object, he does qualify…”
“Okay, say no more.” Zhao Huzi waved his hand, “Whether Qin Fen is qualified enough to be promoted to colonel or not, a small reporter like you don’t have a say. It is the decision from the military! Letting you have a look at the file was to prevent you from scribbling nonsense outside because you are hot-headed. Also, you are not allowed to announce anything from the documents you read today. If you violate it, I will let you have a taste of a lesson, no matter how deep your background is.”
“Why? Such a hero…” That female reporter stuck out her chest once again and her eyes were filled with a rebellious spirit, “You should let the public know…”
Zhao Huzi groaned coldly and interrupted that female reporter arbitrarily, “If you want Qin Fen to die faster, voice it out then. His enemies until now still don’t know he did some of these things. They can’t even find him. If you announce it, then you are helping those who hate Qin Fen.”
The peremptory tone echoed gently in the hall. The prideful rebellious expression on the face of the female reporter suddenly disappeared. Although there was still dissatisfaction in her eyes, she could not find any words to refute.
The recruits couldn’t guess what was written on that document, they could only vaguely feel that their comrades during the contest were not as easy as they thought.
Zhao Huzi glared at Qin Fen and said, “Boy, you’re still sitting there? Waiting for me to go down and invite you?”
Qin Fen got up and walked quickly toward the rostrum to received the colonel’s rank gorget patch. He slammed his legs together and made a crisp sound.
When the other two major generals saw Qin Fen receive the rank of colonel, a faint wry smile showed up on their thick lips. Qin Fen had gained enough dignity for the generals from the East Asia Military Region in the recruit contest and given the military region a real headache for the past few days.
Although it was envied by many people, being major or colonel in the East Asia Military Region, compared with the marshal, general and lieutenant general, these former ranks were absolutely nothing.
On weekdays, the generals never had a headache because of a small recruit colonel until now.
First of all, these generals who were usually arrogant had to admit that Qin Fen was a promising soldier after watching the videos of the contest. If the development went well, then in the future, it was possible for him to be promoted with stars.
The problem was that there was someone in the Federation who found Qin Fen not pleasing, the Earth Martial God Wendong! It wasn’t a secret that young people could challenge Qin Fen. The military’s intelligence system could quickly learn most of the reasons.
The military’s rights in the Federation were rare yet humongous, therefore, Song Wendong’s views had to be taken into account. He was the Super Grandmaster with the title of the divine beast.
Under this condition, if they vigorously promoted Qin Fen and gave him a focus on training that had a promising advantage, it could be said that the East Asia Military Region wanted to act against the Martial God Song and slap the face of Martial God Song.
So how will Martial God Song react? No matter how strong the military’s intelligence system was, it was still impossible to read the mind of the Grandmaster. People only knew that Martial God Wendong never gave face to those who disobeyed his decision.
It was easy to give out the colonel rank, but what should this colonel do? What gave the generals of the East Asia Military Region headaches was not only this problem but another problem.
That was, there seemed to be problems no matter where Qin Fen was put. It was very possible that the number of challengers who were likely to come would be high in the military camp Qin Fen had stayed at for a short period.
The quiet and serious military camp would also become a lively market because of the non-stop entering of the folks.
Although the Federation believed that the military and civilians were all of one family now, it was impossible to let the people transform the military camp into a market and come to challenge the soldiers every day.
If this kind of thing happened, where would the dignity of the military be?
That two generals looked at the back of Qin Fen as he was stepping down and looked at each other. In recent days, the military had been meeting more than once because of the problems from this little colonel.
Among them, some even suggested that we should send Qin Fen into Sacred Martial Hall! He had gotten the invitation from Sacred Martial Hall anyway. It was reasonable for him if he went there as a soldier to improve. At the worst, he would be considered in service.
It wasn’t the first time that the soldiers of the Federation military received the invitation from Sacred Martial Hall, but the problem was that they had never sent someone who hadn’t been discharged into the Sacred Martial Hall.
They couldn’t break this rule just for Qin Fen alone, right? After that, anyone who received the invitation like Qin Fen could request to go for the training. The training period over there would then be considered as a service period. Could such a thing be allowed?
If that was the case, wasn’t it showing that the status of the Federation military was much lower than that of the Sacred Martial Hall?
Although in the hearts of civilians and even the hearts of the military, the position of the military was indeed lower than Sacred Martial Hall, such a thing could never be acknowledged voluntarily.
If such a thing really happened, what would the generals in other military regions think? What would the generals in the military region from other planets think? Wouldn’t the East Asia military be ridiculed in the future?
At that time, would the Eastern Military Region be ridiculed for not being as good as the Sacred Martial Hall? Or would the East Asia military be said to have never met a promising young man, so they satisfied any requests from him after meeting one, and treated him like a grandfather? How was the East Asia military face other people in the future?
The reward welcome party was nearing its end, almost all the other recruits had gotten their arrangements. Only Qin Fen did not get any specific arrangement.
“Qin Fen…” The general sat at the left side of Zhao Huzi’s said with a headache, “The military has not finished with your arrangement order. For the moment, you will stay in Shen Jing.”
“Yes!” Qin Fen stood up and saluted again. He heard the general on the right side of Zhao Huzi interject, “Yes, you should not live in the military camp as before. We have found you a hotel. You will stay there temporarily first.”
Hotel? Qin Fen looked to Zhao Huzi in doubt, and the recruit’s general was looking at the two colleagues strangely.
The two generals pulled their long faces and shouted, “Colonel Qin Fen, execute the order!”
“Yes!”
Qin Fen stood up and answered, but he still could not understand. What is going on? The military is willing to spend money to rent a hotel outside, and not to let people stay in the military camp? Isn’t the taxpayer’s money more than enough? Does the military to be the prodigal?
That two generals looked at the questioning expression on Qin Fen’s face. They shook their heads helplessly with a bitterly smile. This was the only way. If they had Qin Fen in the military camp turning the serious military camp into a lively market, it would not be good.
“General…” The female reporter looked at Zhao Huzi with a bit of timidity. This fierce general looked a bit hard to talk to, “Can I interview Colonel Qin Fen?”
Zhao Huzi looked at that female reporter. He always felt that this girl was a little familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he met her. He replied casually, “Yes, but some things can’t be published.”
“Noted.” That female reporter came to Qin Fen with her camera, “Hello, let me introduce myself, I’m military reporter Tian Jing.”
Qin Fen was stunned. The instructors had not taught such a thing as an interview. I have never thought that I would be interviewed. How do I handle this?
“Can I take a photo of you first?”
“Oh…”
“I said.” Tian Jing poked her head out from behind the camera, “You, can you pose? Standing robotically does not look any handsome.”
“Okay…” Qin Fen posed very cooperatively.
“Arhat Fist?” Tian Jing whispered, “This is quite perfunctory? Can you do another one?”
Qin Fen put on the stance of White Crane Spreads Wings from the Twenty-Four-Style Simplified Tai Chi Boxing.
Tian Jing began to regret asking him. If she knew that it would be this pose earlier, the previous Arhat Fist was better, why changed into these fitness exercises stances? Is he that afraid to expose his own ultimate skill?
After a few photos, Tian Jing re-adjusted her emotions, “Over these years, our East Asia Military Region hadn’t been considered successful in the recruit competition. As the champion of the recruit competition, what is your motivation when you first entered the competition?”
“The generous reward after winning the championship.”
Qin Fen said the truth, Tian Jing showed a baffled expression, There’s someone who went solely for the reward?
Looking at Tian Jing’s quirky expression, Qin Fen smiled. How could a missy who had an easy life understand? However, she didn’t need to understand anything.
It wasn’t shameful to make money by your own efforts ! Qin Fen’s face flashed with a proud smile. Money minded? Nothing wrong! As long as the money was sufficient, then anyone could stand up.
“I heard that you graduated from a famous high school and was admitted to a good university. Why do you take a break from university to join the army? If you go to university first then join the army, you should be able to serve the Federation better right?”
The questions from Tian Jing were getting answers about earning money as an answer again very quickly. She was stunned, there was no way for her to ask the questions she prepared. The other party was too lazy to have any small talk.
After a few questions, Tian Jing could tell one thing for sure. The young man in front of her did not really answer the question seriously at all.
This time, Tian Jing finally guessed it right!
Qin Fen wasn’t in any mood to be interviewed. He was thinking about how to leave the military camp and not be discovered by another challenger.
If an evenly matched martial artist came to challenge him, Qin Fen would naturally accept it excitedly. He could learn the fist technique from different people to integrate and improve his own martial dao.
However, five-star martial artists that come to challenge? When Qin Fen thought of this, a bit of impatience shown between his eyebrows.
“Next…” The keen reporter nerve of Tian Jing caught the impatience between Qin Fen’s eyebrows. She closed her laptop and stood up, “Well, my interview is over, thank you for accepting my interview.”
“You are welcome! See you.”
Qin Fen got up and dropped the sentence, then hurried to the rostrum to get the keys to the hotel where he lived.
Tian Jing was very dissatisfied staring at the back of Qin Fen. Is the attitude of this recruit because I made a statement against him? Isn’t that too petty?
“I’ll remove all your news report…” Tian Jing pouted and whispered, leaving the auditorium at a much faster pace.
Remove the news report? Qin Fen’s ear shook a bit, a little smile forming on his lips. It seemed that the technique just now had worked. With the somewhat impetuous mind that the female reporter had, god knows what type of answer could satisfy her. Would she write too many unnecessary details in the military newspaper out of hot-headedness?
Even though the military newspaper was an internal newspaper, who could guarantee that these news reports would not be transmitted to the Golden Triangle? Who could guarantee that the terrorist wouldn’t get this news report?
No one in this world wanted to be targeted by the Golden Triangle, and no one wanted to be targeted by the crazy fanatic terrorist. Those people were very happy to play with human bombs.
A ring of phone calls interrupted Qin Fen’s thoughts. From the phone came the calm but slightly gloomy voice of Chen Feiyu, “I have beaten several people at the gate. Now there are no challengers around… ”
Qin Fen hung up and smiled. Why bother with these challengers? In the future, if any challenger comes, we’ll just beat them harder. Hopefully, the number of challenges will be reduced sooner or later.
However, it was very rare that there was no challenger at the door! Qin Fen slightly bent his knee, his body flicked under the coordinate between Dragon Elephant Prajna Art and Dragon Form Movement Technique and charged toward the direction of the gate of the military region.
Tian Jing walked on the road of the courtyard and felt a figure flashed next to her. The gust of wind nearly pushed her over. A green figure was twenty meters away after a jump and fall. It looked completely like a green dragon twisting in the clouds.
“That’s Qin Fen? It’s a strange Dragon Form Movement Technique. I haven’t seen it. Want to perfuse me? Can’t I follow you?” Tian Jing’s eyes flashed with confidence again. She twisted her small waist as she chased the direction of Qin Fen quickly.
Bang… bang…
Two young challengers in front of the gate of the Military Department flew out more than ten meters away, curled up in pain.
Qin Fen shook his wrist. Song Wendong’s appeal was unexpectedly strong. It was only a short time after Chen Feiyu’s clearance and someone else had already stuck to the door.
“All of you cannot defeat me, it’s useless even if you have biochemical beast.” Qin Fen didn’t leave immediately, but stood there quietly and glanced at the opponent who was beaten and said coldly, “It seems like you guys have a special small circle in Shenyang too, right? Then, help me send a message that all the challengers must accept lying in the hospital for half a year.”
Qin Fen took two steps, then he looked back again and said, “Oh yeah, what is the name of the strongest young martial artists recognized by the younger generation in Shenyang?”
That two guys who curled up on the ground were spewing foam, and their body continued to twitch because of the pain. Other than moaning, no other sound could be made by them.
Qin Fen sighed and shook his head. He regretted attacking too recklessly just now. He should have asked first before attacking.
“There is not the strongest in this generation in Shen Jing. There are only four heavenly kings… oh! Wrong, it should be the three heavenly kings and an empress…”
Tian Jing rubbed her chest with her hand and answered for the two people who were beaten until they could not breathe. She looked at the two people who were on the ground with amazement. There was no trace of fighting nearby. It could only be said that they were all defeated in an instant. Although the bloodshot eyes of these two people were fading away, it could still be seen that both of them had used biochemical beast.
Four kings? Qin Fen was expressionless for a while. What was this, the entertainment industry? Where those four idiot kings appear every once in a while?
“Chen Muli, Gao Yan, Zhou Miao, and a woman Wang Ting.” Tian Jing gasped and said, “If we’re talking about the strongest, it should be the crazy woman called Wang Ting.”
“Woman?” Qin Fen was somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect that the strongest in Shen Jing was a woman. This one should be excluded. Just by taking down the rest should be able to stop these a lot.
Tian Jing went close toward Qin Fen, “Want to find those three men?”
“En.” Qin Fen didn’t need to hide. The reporter seems to have come from a good background, hiding such matters from her was pointless.
“I will take you there!” Tian Jing patted her chest, “However, there is a condition that you must accept my interview again with a more serious attitude.”
Qin Fen turned to look at the two men who were curled up on the ground, “Are these three men very famous?”
Although the two couldn’t talk, they could still nod. Qin Fen’s fist clenched suddenly, making them nod harder.
Qin Fen looked back and smiled at Tian Jing, showing his neat and clean teeth, “They are famous.”
Tian Jing was stunned and understood Qin Fen’s refusal to interview immediately.
“You are Qin Fen, right?”
A voice full of provocation came from somewhere close, Qin Fen put both hands on hips and sighed. It seems like I will have to speed up the search process for those three people.
