William's Arrival

"Why would she trip you for no reason?" A few boys stood out to speak for Mo Shu. "Why should we trip her then?" Tang Xiaoguo instantly retorted. "It's jealousy, anyone with eyes can see that." The boys all chimed in. "You," Tang Xiaoguo, having been exposed, was both angry and unable to refute. "In-Instructor Hou, I saw it just now, they were the ones who deliberately flocked to Mo's side." A boy with a face full of acne bravely spoke up, having been previously next to Mo Shu on the bus. After speaking, he quickly glanced at Mo Shu, and his face turned red again. "Don't spout nonsense, you guys are clearly helping her because she's pretty..." Although Tang Xiaoguo adamantly denied with her words, she was extremely guilty inside. "Shut up, all of you, keep running. Do you guys not want breakfast or something?" Instructor Hou remarked, causing all the students to scatter like birds. Instructor Hou certainly saw through the tricks of these young girls. He hoisted the groaning Li Shi Yin onto his back and glanced at Mo Shu before heading off to the infirmary. The instructor didn't return for quite a while. All the students, about to vomit from exhaustion, didn't dare to stop running. When they saw the neighboring class taking a break, they followed suit, resting under a tree. One by one, they collapsed on the ground, hot and hungry. Only Mo Shu was there, playing her phone by herself as if she didn't have a care in the world, making a sharp contrast with those around her who were drenched in sweat. Everyone was green with envy. They were envious of her playing on her phone and her eerily fantastic physical stamina. Finally, the instructor returned, and everyone immediately gathered. "At ease, turn to the left. Destination - cafeteria, 1500 meters away. Let's move." It was past ten o'clock, they were finally allowed to have breakfast. The students were practically crying, the class next to them had finished eating, leaving only their class. With hunger making them manic, the students stormed into the canteen. Mo Shu hung back, walking at her own leisurely pace. Suddenly there was another person beside her. Instructor Hou spoke with a deep voice, "You sure do kick hard, nearly resulted in someone's fracture." "Has Instructor Hou never taken physics? The principle of force is mutual; she feels pain, so do I." What Mo Shu wanted to say was: She had already held back a significant part of the force, otherwise Li Shiyin would have had a broken leg long before. "You have sharp words, hope you can maintain this calm and indifference in a few days’ time." Instructor Hou said. Mo Shu: "I hope Instructor Hou can too." Instructor Hou: "…" Well, calling her a prick might be spot on. After a day, students' initial excitement and anticipation had gone cold and calm. Clinging onto their neatly folded chunk of blankets, they helped each other back to the dorm, collapsed in their beds. They didn't even want to move to wash up. Surprisingly, they even began to envy Li Shiyin, who had an excuse not to participate in military training due to her injured leg. In the instructor dormitory, Instructor Hou stripped off his clothes, revealing his bare arms. A comrade held medicinal liquor, applying it to his left shoulder. "Why don't we go see Old Medicine again sometime? You're having trouble even handling a gun with that arm of yours now. If this continues, even eating will become problematic. If you're short on money, we brothers can chip in for you." Instructor Hou shook his head, having long since given up on hope. Yet he looked quite calm as he said, "I'm actually quite accurate with a gun using my left hand now." Seeing the situation, the comrade had no choice but to change the subject, "Did that troublemaker of your class kick a fellow student's leg? I saw you in the afternoon..." At that moment, someone knocked on the door from outside. Instructor Hou dressed himself and allowed the person to enter. Seeing it was a sentinel accompanying a female student over, he remembered her. Her name was Tang Xiaoguo. Instructor Hou knew that something must be wrong again. Asking, his suspicion was confirmed. "Instructor Hou, Mo Shu is missing." The comrade laughed, "Is it that troublemaker again?" Instructor Hou frowned, anger bubbling up in his heart, "Didn't I prohibit them from leaving the dormitory building? Are they taking my words as a joke?!" This was a military area, not a backyard where they could run and jump around freely. Instructor Hou rose to his feet and walked out. Tang Xiaoguo hastily followed. Her steps were light, and she was excited. She was thinking how Mo Shu would try to excuse herself and escape this time. Instructor Hou came to check the dormitory, only to find no one there. A few girls began to fan the flames, blabbering on almost incessantly, even though Li Shiyin was physically exhausted. As they eagerly gossiped, just as Instructor Hou was about to go find the missing person, Li Shiyin suddenly let out a shrill scream, which scared quite a few people. A cool and indifferent woman's voice followed, "Are you gossiping about me?" Everyone turned. Mo Shuru, like a ghost, stood by the entrance, arms crossed, leaning lazily against the door observing them stealthily. "Where did you go?" Instructor Hou asked sternly. "To the restroom, need to report?" Mo Shuru replied sarcastically. "You're lying. You definitely didn't go to the restroom. The restroom is to the left, but you clearly went downstairs to the right," Li Shiyin pointed fiercely accusing Mo Shuru, "And who ever takes so long in the restroom? If you're going to lie, tell a better one." Instructor Hou asked again, "I'll ask you one more time, where did you go?" Mo Shuru simply replied, "The restroom." Fine then. She did admittedly sneak out, aimlessly wandering around the military district, even managing to loiter around their highest-ranking officer's office. But she truly wasn't doing anything inappropriate, she was a law-abiding citizen after all. Instructor Hou eyed Mo Shuru for a few seconds, didn't say anything else and just reminded them again not to leave the dormitory building without permission. And then he walked out. As he passed by Mo Shuru, he whispered in a low voice, "Behave yourself. The military district is not a place for your mischief." Mo Shu had no particular reaction. She just lightly cast her gaze on Li Shi Yin and her party. Although there was no visible emotion in her eyes, her mere presence filled the group with a chilling dread. Officer Hou descended the stairs, asking the standing guard, "Did any female student come back just now?" The soldier replied, "No." Officer Hou raised his head, staring at the third floor. Two days later, A large truck loaded with the latest weaponry enters the military region. The truck is led by a black Maybach with the license plate number [Beijing a0000]. Upon seeing who the visitors were, the military's top general, Shangguan Qingmu, was even more delighted than meeting his eighty-year-old father. He personally went out to greet, escorted the guests into the office, and served them with fine tea. While personally handing a cup of hot tea, Shangguan Qingmu asked the man again, "Master Leng, you really are giving it all away for free?" "With great power comes great responsibility, as a citizen of China, it's only right to do what I can for the country." Leng Yuanjin sat on the couch with his legs crossed. Shangguan Qingmu was delighted enough to slap his thigh. "Good man, I'll specially make a banner for you as a token of my appreciation and hand-deliver it to your residence. The banner will be inscribed with 'Kind-hearted citizen Leng Yuanjin, one of the top ten endearing personalities in China.'" "Reporting to General, inventory check is complete, ten boxes of Type 95 assault rifles, five boxes of Barrett sniper rifles..." Listening to the soldiers reporting one by one, Shangguan Qingmu nearly beamed with joy. After half a pot of tea, he enthusiastically invited Leng Yuanjin to the cafeteria. Leng Yuanjin: "There's no need to attend to me, just attend to your own matters." Shangguan Qingmu: "Are you sure you have no other requests?" Without any warning, showing up personally to deliver this pile of valuable assets, was a bit odd, unsettling Shangguan Qingmu. "We noticed quite a few students when we drove over. Are the Beijing University freshmen undergoing their military training?" Leng Yuanjin suddenly asked. "Yes, they are. Would you like to go and take a look? Embrace the youthful energy of these young people," replied Shangguan Qingmu.
