Chapter 1232: Chapter 704: New Mission Chapter 1232: Chapter 704: New Mission At this point, no matter how much Qin Yuan tried to explain, old man Liu wouldn’t believe him anymore, convinced that he was interested in Liu Yue.

“Alright, it’s no use talking anymore. If you two end up together, you’d better treat Liu Yue well; otherwise, I won’t let you off the hook!”

Old man Liu was very serious, with not a trace of joking in his expression.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan’s forehead was covered with black lines, quickly putting on a mask of anguish.

“Liu-”
However, before he could finish, old man Liu simply patted off the dust on himself and walked away without looking back.

Jiang Qi, who witnessed this, got up, came over to Qin Yuan, patted his shoulder, and said with a wry smile, “Buddy, I can’t help you this time. You’re on your own.”

After speaking, he too started walking in the direction old man Liu had gone.

Qin Yuan watched their retreating figures, raised his hand, opened his mouth, but ultimately didn’t say anything.

His eyes involuntarily drifted towards Liu Yue in the distance, and his heart was even more a mix of all sorts of emotions.

“What kind of mess is this, what a disaster!”

Qin Yuan felt bitter inside and then also got up to chase after Jiang Qi.

“What were you guys talking about?”

After everyone returned and sat down, Liu Yue asked as if nothing was amiss.

Qin Yuan and the others did not respond immediately but instinctively exchanged glances.

“Nothing much, just talking about the task, we’ve run into some difficulties, haha-”
Seeing that neither Qin Yuan nor old man Liu spoke up, Jiang Qi had no choice but to laugh it off.

“Is that so? How did it go? Did you solve it?”

Liu Yue was still looking at them suspiciously, while Wu Zeyuan, sitting next to her, couldn’t wait to ask.

“You dummy, can’t you tell I’m brushing her off, and yet you ask!”

Jiang Qi was annoyed inside. This Wu Zeyuan was really clueless.

“It’s been resolved.”

Jiang Qi had to say, forcing a response.

“Alright, why talk so much? We came out here to relax.”

At this moment, old man Liu spoke up, worried that if they continued to harp on this issue, everyone would end up feeling awkward.

“I command you to resolve the battle in ten minutes!”

Old man Liu began to give orders.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zeyuan was completely dumbfounded.

“Huh?”

“Old man Liu, didn’t you say we came to relax? Why are you setting a time limit?”

“Enough talk, one more word, and I’ll penalize you by making you watch us eat!”

“Yes, guaranteed to complete the task!”

With a glare from old man Liu, Wu Zeyuan immediately sat up straight and began to devour the food in front of him.

“Everyone eat up, don’t be shy!”

Old man Liu said to Qin Yuan and the others.

As the elder and the leader at the table, everyone naturally held old man Liu in high regard.

Only when he told them to start did they begin to eat.

Liu Yue ate quietly, her movements very elegant; only her eyes occasionally drifted towards Qin Yuan and old man Liu.

After finishing the meal, the group didn’t chat much. They greeted each other and then each went their own way.

Qin Yuan returned to his dormitory, and remembering what old man Liu had said earlier, he couldn’t help but think of Liu Yue again.

“Hmm?”

“Do I really like that girl?”

Qin Yuan shook his head, “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

“Women only affect the speed at which I draw my gun, I’m resolutely opposed!”

The next day, Qin Yuan got up early as usual and began to train.

Even though he was already an elite among the elite, a Sergeant among Sergeants, Qin Yuan never slacked off in his training.

Keeping his body in the best condition at all times allowed him to react most quickly and correctly in unexpected situations.

“Qin Yuan, the chief wants to see you.”

Just as Qin Yuan had finished a set of exercises, a communications soldier ran over and told him.

Hearing this, Qin Yuan nodded, “Alright, I’ll be right there.”

Three minutes later, outside the chief’s office door.

“Report!”

Qin Yuan called out loudly.

“Come in!”

A forceful response came from inside.

“Chief, you wanted to see me. Is there a new task assigned?”

Upon entering, Qin Yuan immediately asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Seeing his expression, the chief’s eyes smiled, but he didn’t answer Qin Yuan right away; instead, he gestured with his hand.

“Sit.”

The chief chuckled first.

“Yes, Chief!”

Seeing the chief’s demeanor, Qin Yuan knew better than to push, so he calmed his mind and sat down.

“You just finished training and came over; you must be thirsty. Shall I make you a cup of tea?”

Seeing Qin Yuan seated, the chief immediately stood up, took the teapot, and asked with a laugh.

“Chief, I’m not thirsty, you should rest.”

Qin Yuan said earnestly.

“What, you don’t like the tea I make?”

“Or is it that my tea doesn’t suit your taste?”

The chief pretended to be angry.

“I’m sorry, Chief, I didn’t mean that; I’m just simply not thirsty.”

Qin Yuan’s face remained unchanged, not at all intimidated by the chief’s words.

“You young man, you do have a calm demeanor, much better than when you first arrived.”

“It’s all thanks to the Chief’s guidance!”

Qin Yuan sent over a compliment.

“Wow, now you’ve even learned how to flatter. But just so you know, I’m not the one who taught you that.”

The chief didn’t fall for Qin Yuan’s flattery and immediately denied it.

Indeed, ever since Qin Yuan had joined the army, he had gone from a green recruit to a Sergeant, dominating and outperforming everyone around him.

Even the instructors weren’t his match, so who else could teach him?

“No, I’ve learned quite a few skills and life lessons in the army.”

Qin Yuan still held his ground.

“Alright, let’s cut the nonsense,”
The chief waved his hand. “You’re right, there is a new task.”
