– At night –
The head instructor still listened to Wang Ying, Yan Wei, and Wu Hao's recommendations, and he couldn't help but call his instructor friend from the 5th MR.
The instructor from the 5th MR didn't expect someone from the 8th MR, a military region ranked in the top 10 every year, to come and poach him. He bitterly smiled. "If you came a month ago, I would have said no, but it's too late now."
The 8th MR's head instructor frowned. "What? He's not a soldier anymore? "
"No, he loves this profession, and he created value here. But unfortunately, two months ago, an accident happened on a mission, and his strength regressed from A to C +. Logically speaking, even if he didn't get into the Dragon Division, he should still be able to stay in the military, but he's a prideful person and won't accept sympathy. So, he left the military region of his own accord. I arranged for him to work in a unit in Shangcheng, and it's good enough for him to have a stable life." The 5th MR's head instructor sighed.
"What kind of accident could make someone's strength regresse to such a bizarre degree?" The 8th MR's head instructor was curious.
"The mission this time was to destroy a private research base. They're very secretive in the Middle East, and we found out that they often use living people for genetic research. The higher-ups want to get rid of these kinds of experiments. Unfortunately, during the process, Xu Cheng was injected with a defective genetic product. The people from the biology department said that he probably won't have much time left, but I didn't tell him about it."
The 8th MR's head instructor suddenly understood. "No wonder you were willing to let go of such a powerful person."
The 5th MR's head instructor laughed. "Even if his strength regressed to the level of an ordinary person, he's still a soldier of our 5th MR. Don't even think about it. Before this kid left, he told me that he would come back. Although I believe in the old guys at the research institute, I believe that he might be able to create a miracle and come back. You also know that two of the Three Swordsmen have already entered the Dragon Division, and he's the only one left in our 5th MR. Don't even think about it. I know you guys have a lot of money in Shangcheng, but let me tell you, Xu Cheng is a very loyal person, so you guys should just give up. "
The 8th MR's head instructor snorted. "Do you think I'll fight with you for a C +? Every year, the average strength of my 20-member team is B rank. If he comes, he might not be able to enter the first-rate team. "
The head instructor of the 5th MR snorted. "Don't show off in front of me, it's just that your military region has a large population and it's easy to find talents. My military region is vast and sparsely populated, and it's already good enough that we can bring our ranking to the lower middle."
"Hehe, without the Three Swordsmen this year, let's see if you'll end up at the end. Alright, I won't poach your people anymore. That's it. Don't let our military region see you when you draw lots, or else you'll start doubting your life."
Then, the head instructor of the 8th MR hung up. Then he went to the ward to look for Wu Hao and the other two.
"Instructor, how is it?" Wang Ying asked eagerly.
"Xu Cheng is indeed from the 5th Military Region, and he's still an active soldier. They didn't remove his military status, but they're letting him go home to recuperate. I've asked about him, and although you said he's very strong, the overall rating of the 5th Military Region is only C +, so I think we should forget about recommending him. "
Wu Hao frowned. "Instructor, could there be a mistake in the rating?"
"Alright, let's end this here. The people over at the 5th Military Region said that they won't let Xu Cheng go, and Xu Cheng is their signboard." After the head instructor said that, he understood what happened next.
After Xu Cheng came out of the 8th MR, he returned to the city, but he didn't go home yet. When he already made his decision, he didn't want the two women at home to persuade him. His phone rang in his pocket, and Xu Cheng looked at the number.
It was Lin Chuxue.
Standing on the bridge and feeling the wind, Xu Cheng looked at the caller ID on the screen and didn't know if he should pick it up or not. Thinking back to four years ago, when Lin Chuxue's father betrothed her to him, the Xu Cheng at that time felt inferior and arrogant, thinking that he didn't have the ability to give Lin Chuxue, the daughter of a rich family, happiness. So, that night at the Lin Family's house, he rejected Lin Chuxue's request to marry him.
After that night, he and Lin Chuxue could no longer return to the relationship of childhood sweethearts. Later, Lin Guiren forcefully forced Lin Chuxue to marry Xu Cheng, but the already estranged couple had always been like strangers, neither of them crossing the red line. Even if they were on the same street in the same city, they never looked at each other or deliberately distanced themselves from each other.
And after Lin Chuxue, who was forced to return to China with her husband, Xu Cheng, her personality gradually became cold, and she became indifferent to everything. Over time, she began to live a carefree life. All of this made Xu Cheng feel guilty towards her, so he felt that if he owed someone in his life, it would be Lin Chuxue.
In Xu Cheng's eyes, Lin Chuxue was a woman as noble and beautiful as a princess. From childhood to adulthood, from kindergarten to university, she had always been the center of attention of tens of millions of people, and she was also the scenery that he couldn't move away from. However, her father was a British tycoon, and he was just a playmate that was fostered in her home. Under the influence of such a stark contrast in social status, Xu Cheng felt that he was becoming more and more unworthy of Lin Chuxue. That night when he felt inferior, he rejected Lin Guiren's decision. He just wanted to give Lin Chuxue freedom. He knew that it was because Lin Guiren and his father were sworn brothers that he would marry his daughter to him, and he also knew that a woman as perfect as Lin Chuxue would never like him. Marrying her to him might be a kind of sympathy and charity for him, so Xu Cheng rejected this marriage, and it was also related to the pride in his heart.
As he was deep in thought, the phone ended on its own.
Not long after, his phone rang again. Xu Cheng looked down and saw that it was an IP address from the UK.
He picked up the call.
"Brother-in-law, we will be going to Huaxia in two days. Let me tell you in advance, don't let Mom and Dad find out about your relationship with my sister." A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Lin Chuxue's younger brother, Lin Lei. He was the only one who knew that Xu Cheng and Lin Chuxue lived in two different places.
Xu Cheng was stunned. "Why would Mom and Dad want to come to Huaxia all of a sudden?"
Lin Lei: "Ask yourselves. You guys have been back for four years, right? My sister's stomach isn't reacting at all, and my dad always calls her and says that he has a lot of work to do, so he came in person. I will talk to my sister about this later. It doesn't matter how you two act, just be prepared to deal with it. I can't persuade the two of you, and the plane tickets are already booked. "
After hanging up the phone, Xu Cheng didn't know what to do.
He was very grateful towards Lin Guiren's family. Ever since his father died, it was Lin Guiren who brought him to live in the UK and treated him like his own son. He never suffered at home, and it was because he treated him so well that Xu Cheng rejected his decision to marry Lin Chuxue to him. How should he put it? One must know when to be content.
At this time, Lin Chuxue called him again after hanging up not long ago.
Xu Cheng also wanted to talk to her about Lin Guiren's schedule. After picking up the call, the two were afraid that they didn't have anything to talk about, so they both said in unison, "Mom and Dad are coming to Huaxia the day after tomorrow …"
After that, both of them paused and then went silent.
Lin Chuxue slightly sighed and said, "No matter what, you have to win the day after tomorrow. I will arrange for Mom and Dad to go to the restaurant first, and you can come immediately after the duel."
Xu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
