Her willingness to admit to her mistakes was nice. Nevertheless, it didn’t work for him.

“You rushed down hurriedly because you were worried that the targets would escape. I can understand your intentions,” said Xia Jinyuan, smiling. As he looked at the girl whose eyes were as resplendent as stars, his gentle smile contained a hint of teasing. “And you have a very good apologetic attitude. Are you afraid that I might scold you?”

“What am I afraid of? I’m not your soldier,” said Ye Jian with a cold and indifferent look in her eyes. Smiling lightly, she said, “Besides, I did go out to see my classmate. I just happened to encounter Auntie Zhou on my way.”

Xia Jinyuan had deployed his troops properly. Even if Brother Fei jumped out of the window, there was no way that he could escape. Ye Jian was just overreacting.

Her reply made Xia Jinyuan raise his eyebrows. Subsequently, his dark and chilly eyes became gloomier.

“Ye Jian, if you were my soldier, you would face miserable consequences,” said Xia Jinyuan plainly. His smile became fainter while he was looking at her.

“As stipulated by the military law, and based on the gravity of the soldiers’ offenses, punishments such as a warning, a serious warning, a demerit, and a major demerit will be given to the soldiers who have defied orders.”

His facial expression became inevitably stern and fierce at the mention of military law.

After finishing his words, Xia Jinyuan, who had been observing Ye Jian’s face, slowly smiled again. “So, Ye Jian, if you want to be a qualified soldier, the first thing you need to learn is to obey orders.”

As he smiled, he seemed more handsome, adding the elegance of a prince to his chill temperament.

The military uniform could not conceal his nobility. He must have come from an unusual background. As the saying goes, we are what we eat. That is how significant the environment is.

“I see. Thank you for your guidance.” Ye Jian nodded gently, bearing his advice into her mind.

“It is a soldier’s duty to obey orders.” both Principal Chen and Grandpa Gen had told her. Putting emphasis on improving her abilities, she had discarded this most basic awareness which she should be equipped with.

Footsteps were heard. The soldier upstairs approached them, “Sir, the second floor is all clear!”

“Inform the police to cordon off the area.” said Xia Jinyuan, restraining his smile and showing a stern and chill look on his handsome face. As he turned around, his tall and straight back possessed the formidable energy of a soldier. “Assemble the team.”

His clear and cold voice contained infinite authority. Across his shoulder, Ye Jian saw the tough look on the face of the soldier standing in front of him. From the serious and scrupulous attitude of the soldier, Ye Jian could tell that he would absolutely obey any direction of Xia Jinyuan.

Ye Jian slightly pursed her lips. It was a soldier’s duty to obey orders… Perhaps she had understood it.

Gazing at Xia Jinyuan’s back which was as towering as a mountain, Ye Jian slightly tightened her black eyes. Not only were this man’s capabilities convincing, but he could make his own soldiers trust every aspect of him.

Xia Jinyuan didn’t tell Ye Jian and Doctor Zhou to come out from the hotel until everything was settled.

“So sorry to startle you two tonight due to our ill management,” he said sincerely while escorting them to the roadside. His deep and restrained voice indicated his apology. “We have controlled all the targets. To avoid any potential problems, we are going to block the information involving this issue from you guys, so as not to cause you trouble in the future.”
