Chapter 94 - The Belittled Chief Instructor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

‘Haven’t you guys said enough!’

The gangsters badly wanted to say that.

But they didn’t dare to.

As if finally acknowledging their presence, He Niancheng swept a glance at them using those black eyes of his that carried an indescribable pressure. With his voice cold and stern, he said, “Scram!”

One word was enough to turn spring into the extremities of winter.

Those gangsters collectively shuddered... but to admit defeat?

Were they going to leave like that?

It was evident that they didn’t want to swallow such a defeat, but they had no choice!

With He Niancheng’s overwhelming presence, they could tell that he was not just an ordinary soldier.

And they were just locals who had no connections with the military.

If they wanted to make a bluff, it was only for that short while.

The rogue man had viciously glared at Gu Qingjiu before he unwillingly turned around to leave with his pals.

After all, no idiot would pick a fight with a soldier in their territory.

What was more to say when they themselves were gangsters?

That was like rushing to their deaths.

Damn it all. These girls’ luck was good.

Of course, the group of gangsters didn’t think Gu Qingjiu herself was a soldier.

Seeing them leave, Gu Qingjiu inwardly relaxed and heaved a breath of relief. Her crouched back straightened up almost immediately.

He Niancheng frowned upon seeing that.

China’s soldiers were too different from his subordinates in the past.

And he didn’t want to be bothered with this, too.

But he had met this girl numerous times, and she seemed different from the other soldiers in China.

Those clear eyes of hers remained calm even in dangerous situations, even if she exuded an aura of defeat all over earlier on.

He Niancheng was quick to realize.

That this girl was different from others.

Whether it was her calmness or her quick admittance to mistakes.

Beneath her usual show of calmness, was a roaring violence which she had yet to show.

And that was a huge part of the reason He Niancheng remembered Gu Qingjiu well.

People who were different from the others often made a stronger impression.

“Thank you very much, Chief Instructor!”

Gu Qingjiu smiled, trying her best to express her gratitude.

But the Chief Instructor did not want to accept it.

He turned to the side with an indifferent expression, making it difficult to tell if he accepted the gratitude or not.

Gu Qingjiu did not feel awkward because it didn’t matter to her.

“Checkmate!”

A cold voice rang out and Gu Qingjiu saw that He Niancheng took the King’s piece away from the elderly.

The old man sighed in frustration. “People like you... even when you’re distracted, you can still out win me!”

He Niancheng retracted his hand, and it seemed like there wasn’t a hint of happiness in him.

He was better than Gu Qingjiu at maintaining his calm disposition, and he had already mastered it to perfection.

“You stayed here for so long, but your skills in chess are still the same.”

The old man’s expression hardened, and he scolded, “You brat!”

He Niancheng did not reply and instead looked at Gu Qingjiu, to which the girl understood what he was implying. She then quickly voiced out the reason for her presence. “Commander Huo sent me here to find you and to see what you were doing. He also wanted me to inform you to return to the camp.”

Hearing that, He Niancheng slowly stood up and with a perfect posture, he faced the elderly.

“I’ll be returning now. I’ll visit you again.”

The old man hurriedly waved him away. “Okay, okay. Bring this young lady back instead. Stop coming over, you annoying brat.”
