Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around!

The ordinary people all thought about it this way. But this dangerous place was the safest place.

Although the secret military facility was underground and the covert sentries would not reveal themselves easily, if anyone who was up to no good appeared, they would come out in plain clothes and chase them away.

As for how they would do that, Xia Jinyuan didn’t mention and Ye Jian didn’t probe further… But they wouldn’t be treated like royalty for sure.

The soldier who went out to receive them was Commander Liu’s admin officer. He knew Ye Jian too. After saluting Xia Jinyuan, he said to Ye Jian, “Commander Liu wanted to mention this to you, but there was no approval for him to do so.”

He didn’t ask why Ye Jian came tonight. It looked like he was informed about it. The admin officer spoke to Ye Jian about the things that had happened in the regiment. “… After you left, a few unruly soldiers asked for your school’s address and were scolded by the political commissar. He warned them not to harm a little girl!”

…

After hearing that, Xia Jinyuan was a bit irritated and smiled faintly, “Unruly soldiers? Are you still responsible for them?” He then asked the admin officer with a cold voice, “What’s their background?”

“Nothing much, they are just university dropouts who were sent here to toughen up. Their families have a bit of money.” The admin officer did not notice the coldness in the major’s voice and smiled, “After Ye Jian taught them a few lessons, they all got sunstroke and became obedient after a few days.”

Ye Jian heard the coldness in his voice and thought it was because of the soldiers and smirked, “They thought too highly of themselves after studying a bit in university. The commissar asked me to deal with it and I took care of them in a few days.”

They had reached the entrance, and Xia Jinyuan, who had been holding her hand, smiled slowly.

He was a bit sour, and yet she was totally on a different channel.

He was thinking about how the unruly soldiers were trying to get her contact details while she was thinking about using them as practice. Nothing else was on her mind.

Well, it looks like he was too calculative.

“Watch where you’re going, don’t miss your step.” When they were going down the stairs, Xia Jinyuan who was constantly smiling, naturally lifted his arm a little, so that Ye Jian could go down the steps stably. “Walk inside, there are no railings.”

On the staircase that led to the basement, the steel bars in the cement were exposed and you could feel the dust with every step that was taken.

Ye Jian smeared her hand on the mottled wall and it was all dust. She couldn’t help but whisper, “Is there only one entrance? Every soldier enters and exits at the same place? That’s unlikely.”

“A cunning rabbit has many burrows.” The admin officer who was leading the way laughed. Ye Jian was an impressive young lady, but she was still a curious little girl. “There’s not much time for you as you still have to return to the school later. This path is only open for you.”

Ye Jian also laughed. “Then I’ll have to thank Commander Liu properly.”

“Commander Liu has been waiting for you to thank him. Go this way.” The admin officer turned on his helmet’s headlamp. They were already in the basement and no one from above could see the light.

The front was still pitch-black like they were walking into the belly of a giant beast. The rusty steel frame shook in the dark, leaving behind a gloomy look.
