Chapter 18 The prison is huge, just bear with it for a bit.
1255 Words
There were no more complaints on the training field.
In their place came the resounding clang of running.
Sweat soaked their uniforms, their hands felt like lead, but everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.
Zang Chong was once again the first to cross the finish line, his fierceness needing no explanation!
Following him was the little boxing champion, Hao Lianyao.
Then came Hua Shanke, Lin Yu, Han Xiang…
To Qin Yuan's slight surprise, Su Xiaoyu was in sixth place!
"This kid, it seems, isn't as weak as he appears," Qin Yuan nodded slightly.
At the same time, a plan slowly surfaced in his mind.
He planned to start tomorrow, conducting a thorough assessment of each person's situation.
Then, he would develop targeted training plans to maximize everyone's talents.
25 minutes later.
As the last recruit finished the race, Qin Yuan immediately led the platoon leader to the military hospital.
Hospital ward.
"Liars! They're all f*****g liars!"
Zhang Shuai sat on the hospital bed, his eyes glazed and lifeless, hugging his knees, lost in thought.
"Sending you to the army was to toughen you up! Don't come back to me until you've served two years! As for wanting my help? Forget about it! Of course, if you manage to get a third-class merit during your service, maybe I'll make an exception and help you!"
"If you dare desert? I, Zhang Ling, will be the first to shoot you!"
His grandfather's words echoed in his head, and Zhang Shuai felt utterly abandoned by his family.
He had thought he had a lot of influence!
With his grandfather's status and network, he could practically control everything in the army!
However, when he woke up today and dialed his grandfather's number, he was completely stunned!
When his grandfather, Zhang Ling, heard that he had been beaten, he couldn't stop laughing!
Zhang Shuai was dumbfounded!
He remembered that when he went to join the army, it wasn't like this at all!
Grandpa had spoken with doting affection, "Little Shuai, just go join the army. With Grandpa's status and connections, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury in the barracks, and no one will dare bully you..."
Grandpa's long-winded explanation filled young Zhang Shuai with longing and anticipation for military life.
And that's exactly what he did after arriving at the barracks!
He drove away three company commanders in one fell swoop!
But now that he was actually in trouble, Grandpa had turned on him?
"That old bastard! Has he gone senile?! He even threatened to kill me?"
Zhang Shuai was truly in a difficult situation.
Honestly.
He had just woken up that afternoon and really wanted to run away.
After all, with Grandpa's connections, he could easily clear him of the desertion charge.
But now?
Even if he had a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to run away!
Because he knew that Grandpa's word was law; if he dared to desert, Grandpa really would kill him!
He didn't want to die!
His life was just beginning!
How could he let it end like this?
"But how can I, on my own, fight that great demon?"
The thought of Qin Yuan gave Zhang Shuai an even bigger headache.
Even Zang Chong, ranked on the combat power list, was no match for Qin Yuan, let alone him.
"Endure humiliation and gain his trust first, then sabotage him during future training, using him as a tool to kill him?"
Zhang Shuai thought of another plan.
His individual abilities were indeed insufficient to deal with Qin Yuan.
But he could use the army's henchmen.
However, after thinking it over, Zhang Shuai abandoned this idea.
"This Qin Yuan is so clever, he might not fall for it! Besides, if I have to endure so much to deal with someone, I don't have that much patience!"
Zhang Shuai quickly rejected this idea.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Zhang Shuai's mind raced, considering various solutions.
"Company Commander, you beat Zhang Shuai so badly this afternoon, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, I was very careful. He'll be in excruciating pain, but there won't be any visible injuries."
Suddenly, a very familiar conversation drifted down the corridor outside.
"Company Commander?" Zhang Shuai's pupils constricted instantly. "Is that big devil here?"
Glancing at the fruit knife on the bedside table, Zhang Shuai immediately hatched a plan.
Outside the corridor.
Qin Yuan and the platoon leader's smiles vanished as they pushed open the door.
"Hmm? Why is no one in the room? Room 8 on the 3rd floor, that's right?"
After a quick glance, the platoon leader realized the room was empty and became suspicious.
Whoosh!
Just then.
A sharp fruit knife suddenly pierced through the wooden door!
"Bastard, I'll kill you!"
Zhang Shuai, his eyes bloodshot, charged angrily at Qin Yuan's mouth.
"Company Commander, watch out!" a platoon leader cried out immediately.
Qin Yuan smiled brightly, his hands flashing like lightning!
"Ah! Humph!"
Zhang Shuai let out a muffled groan!
The next second!
He slammed heavily onto the clean white floor tiles.
Clang.
The fruit knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Zhang Shuai was completely stunned!
"How...how could he react so quickly?"
Before he could cry out in pain, Zhang Shuai only regretted his mistake!
"Bastard! You dare to assassinate me?"
Qin Yuan's smile vanished, his anger blazing. He approached Zhang Shuai, grabbed him, and coldly questioned him.
If Qin Yuan hadn't been strong enough, he would definitely have been injured!
"You...you let me go."
Zhang Shuai struggled desperately, but to his horror, he found himself like a small child. No matter how much he struggled, Qin Yuan's large hands were like iron clamps, unable to budge him. Zhang Shuai was horrified, his face filled with shock. "How much strength does that take?"
"Let you go? Openly attempting to assassinate a soldier in public is an act that could land you in jail for life!" Qin Yuan's face was frosty, appearing like a demon in Zhang Shuai's eyes. "Since you don't want to train, then go to jail!"
"No, no, no! I don't want to go to jail!" Zhang Shuai immediately broke down upon hearing this!
He didn't know Qin Yuan's temper and didn't know if Qin Yuan was just bluffing or if he was serious!
And most importantly, if his family found out, this charge would be far worse than desertion. If he angered his grandfather, the consequences would be unimaginable…
“Don’t want to go to jail? Too late!” Qin Yuan’s voice was icy, devoid of any emotion. “Prison is big. Just bear with it. Ten or eight years will be enough. You’ll be twenty-seven or twenty-eight then, still a hero.”
“No, Company Commander! I…” Zhang Shuai completely panicked, collapsing. “I… I surrender, I surrender, Company Commander! Please, please don’t send me to prison! I beg you!”
Zhang Shuai finally lowered his proud head.
“Hahaha… You little punk, trying to mess with me? You’re still got it!” Qin Yuan was secretly overjoyed.
In fact, before coming here, he had been thinking about how to subdue Zhang Shuai.
Unexpectedly, this kid had provided an assist, walking right into the trap!
Perfect!
“Why should I spare you?” However, Qin Yuan still asked slowly and deliberately.
Zhang Shuai's eyes darted around, and he blurted out in a mournful voice, "I, Company Commander! I promise I won't cause any trouble in future training. I'll listen to you completely, and be a good boy, okay?"
