Another Identity

Mo Shu put away her phone and stood up. "It's almost time. I'm going to gather at the dormitory. You guys keep chatting." Leng Yuanjin wanted to leave with Mo Shu. After all, the military training would be over by tomorrow, and she should have had enough fun. He was thinking of showing her around the capital. But General Shangguan's words piqued his curiosity, so he retreated from his intention of asking Mo Shu if she wanted to leave. "Alright," he responds. After Mo Shu left, Leng Yuanjin asked, "Could you tell me who that capable little lady General Shangguan was talking about a while ago?” Shangguan Qingmu hesitated for a moment, "Considering the pile of quality equipment you donated, it wouldn't hurt to tell a 'civic-minded' person like you. That little lady is an expert at breaking codes." He lowered his voice as if subconsciously when he uttered the last sentence. "At the time, the country S and country M came up with some plan against our country that involved a bunch of encrypted stuff. I'm not entirely sure, but it wasn't anything good. We intercepted some of it, but none of our decryption experts could break it. It was thanks to her. "It was a confidential matter, I don't know much about it. But, it was her who solved the problem for us. She intercepted their communication then and there. I don't know how she managed it, but she was able to directly converse with the president of country S. He was dumbfounded, unable to disconnect the communications. You weren't there, you don't know how we felt." "Among those decrypted files, country S was badmouthing us to country M quite a lot. That got me fired up. But then that little lady retaliated for us. She was really spirited. Even though this might be considered improper and could anger the other side, I was quite satisfied hearing it." "She later strengthened all of our equipment for us. According to our technicians, that lady's skills..." Shangguan Qingmu gave a thumbs-up. Leng Yuanjin couldn't help but think back to how Mo Shu had saved Zack and Leng Yan... Shangguan Qingmu said, "I was fortunate enough to have met her twice. I was only a major general at that time, just a few years ago." "Why did you choose to believe her at the time?" Shangguan Qingmu replied, "She appeared with someone from higher up. I didn't have a choice about whether I believed her or not." Leng Yuanjin asked, "What does she look like?" Shangguan Qingmu answered excitedly, "Beautiful! She's as pretty as a flower. Those big eyes, small mouth, and her delicate face, I swear I've never seen a girl as beautiful as her. Ah, she was slightly taller than our friend, Mo." "More than two years ago, we could still contact her but then she seems to have disappeared from the face of Earth. Our men have been secretly looking for her." Shangguan Qingmu sighed, "I'm concerned that she might have been targeted due to that incident, or that her identity might have been compromised. I'm telling you this today, but you must keep it a secret." Leng Yuanjin nodded slightly, fell silent for a moment, looked at the target on the side, and asked, "Did Mo Shu shoot that?" He then got up and walked towards it. "Indeed." Leng Yuanjin approached and observed the bullet holes in the center of the target. Shangguan Qingmu continued, "You taught her how to shoot, didn’t you? Truly, young people can be quite fearsome." Leng Yuanjin asked, "Can I take this target?" "What do you want it for?" He replied, "As an ornament at home." When commandant Hou got everyone together, he made an explanation for Mo Shu, explaining that the original report was wrong - Mo Shu’s shooting score was perfect. The reason she has been repeatedly summoned was due to her outstanding performance, which has caught the eye of their superiors. "To silently shut up those who jealously criticize." Tang Xiaoguo said, "What's so impressive about that?" Finally, the last day of military training ended. Previously, the students who harbored great resentment against their instructor, Instructor Hou, avoiding him at every turn and even surreptitiously giving him nicknames, suddenly felt a sense of reluctance. With teary eyes, they all huddled around Instructor Hou, taking farewell pictures. Instructor Hou was cold and unemotional, completely unperturbed, "With your attitudes, I send off a group like you every year." Showing no emotion, he left everyone his indifferent silhouette. He then went over to Mosu, who was playing with her phone under a tree. "What are your plans after graduation?" Mosu glanced at Instructor Hou, "I don't have any." "Do you want to join the army? I can recommend you." Mosu looked puzzled, "???" "Your physical fitness, shooting skills, and mental strength are one in a million, the army is where you belong, the corporate world would only bury you." Mosu asked, "Do you know who was the last person to offer to help me find a job?" She put away her phone, "It was Leng Yuanjun. At first, he must have thought I was ungrateful and too proud. And now... " Besides expressing regret, Instructor Hou had nothing more to say. As the new students returned to school on a coach, they all seemed reinvigorated, and began discussing on the forum even during the coach journey. At present, nine out of ten posts on the Jingda forum are about Mosu. She's been without her phone these past few days, which seems to have really riled them up. So, upon getting her phone back, they just dumped all of Mosu's glorious deeds from the past few days out there. The boys even directly call Mosu their "Light of the Computer Science Department." "Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, there is a freshman who is an angel-faced, devil-bodied beauty. The entire forum is filled with her now. Have you seen her?" Gu Chengxu, engrossed in his racing game on his phone, didn’t even bother to look up and said, “Beat it, don't bother me while I'm gaming.” "Really Mr. Gu, this girl is truly beautiful. I just ran over to the Computer Science Department to confirm. No makeup, no plastic surgery, she's even more beautiful in person than in photos. She has surpassed the campus belle Su, she's already recognised as the new campus belle." Gu Chengxu: "I've seen plenty of these decorative vases." "This one isn't just a vase. She's an excellent student, daring to confront the drillmaster during military training, outrunning the instructor to get her phone back, and there's also the obstacle race..." His little brother listed them all, counting on his fingers. "In your military training days, Mr. Gu, you had to hand in your phone too." Gu Chengxu: "I'm not fond of decorative vases, and I certainly don't like tomboys. If you have this much time to spare, you might as well rush over to the college next door and ask what major is this Mosu studying under Li Zaiming." His little brother held up the phone pleadingly, "Just take a look. Once you're done, I'll leave immediately." Feeling impatient, Gu Chengxu spared a glance. Just as he was about to move his gaze away, he stopped a moment later and looked back. Then he laughed, "Indeed, quite a beauty. What's her name?" "Mosu." Gu Chengxu nodded, "Mosu, Mosu, Mosu?! Say her name again, what's her name?" His voice rose sharply in excitement. "Mo Shu." Gu Chengxu carelessly tossed aside his phone, picked up his underling's instead, and started scrutinizing the enlarged photo. The more he looked at those brows and eyes, the more familiar they became. "Oh right, this girl shares the same name with the Mo Shu you're looking for, Mr. Gu, and they're both from Licheng." Gu Chengxu was exasperated, his anger flaring, and swiftly gave his underling a couple of knocks on the head: "Are you a complete idiot? Isn't this the girl I've been looking for? You're holding her picture and you didn't even say anything!" Then, Gu Chengxu turned his attention back to the photo, finding it hard to believe: "Wow, she became so beautiful after losing weight." Li Zaiming told him that Mo Shu had slimmed down a significant amount. But this was not merely slimming down – she became a completely different person! The underling, nursing his head, was tearfully aggrieved: "But, wasn't the Mo Shu you were looking for a slightly chubby girl, Mr. Gu? The picture you showed me initially looked nothing like this girl." "You must've had shit in your eyes!" Gu Chengxu gave him another smack, grabbed his phone, and stomped away. After a few steps, he turned back and asked: "What major did you say she's in?" Mo Shu was sitting in her seat, Up on the stage, the professor was lecturing on the basics of computer science, with all the freshmen taking it very seriously. Mo Shu, who was top-notch on the hackers' board and had superior technical skills, could only pay attention for two minutes before her mind started wandering. After class, Mo Shu headed towards the restroom. A commotion could be heard from the stairwell. "Molly, you sure have a death wish, you disregarded my warnings and even dared to go and snitch to Xu Zhiyi!" "Su Qingyu, this is a school, you should behave yourself. If you dare to mess with me, Brother Xu will definitely stand up for me." "A country bumpkin also dares to threaten me, I think you're really asking for trouble. This is my last warning, stay away from Xu Zhiyi. I, Su Qingyu, have hundreds of ways to drive you out of Jing University, out of Jing City. Do you really think Xu Zhiyi can protect you? You are really too overconfident." Molly was grabbed by the cheek by Su Qingyu, her eyes full of fear and panic. At this moment, she saw Mo Shu standing on the stairs. At this moment, she was filled with both hatred and fear. She hated that her disgraceful appearance was seen by Mo Shu. She hated even more that she had to beg her for help. "Sis... help me..." Molly, whose cheek was being grabbed, called out to Mo Shu with difficulty. She clearly knew that the powerful Su Qingyu was not bluffing. She regretted that after being warned by Su Qingyu to stay away from Xu Zhiyi, she ran to Xu Zhiyi crying to show her misery. Xu Zhiyi stood up for her, and as a result, she received even greater revenge from Su Qingyu.
