Zi Yi, Lu Jingye, and Lu Yunxiao followed Leader Zhang to the training camp.

  As it was a holiday today, the training camp was more lively than usual.

  Even though the interior was not as decorated as the secret base, today was a day where everyone could have their fill of meat and drinks.

  Leader Zhang said, “It’s rare that everyone can have a good meal and drink alcohol and relax. Other than those who are on duty, everyone can eat and drink however they like. This is all thanks to the robots Little Zi sent us.”


  Zi Yi had made 10 robots for the training camp. All these robots were very practical. Each robot was capable of being on duty, investigating, and combat… Overall they were capable of everything.

  Right now, these robots were Leader Zhang’s babies.

  “Since you’re here, you should stay here today. Let’s have a bonfire night in the evening.”


  In the face of Leader Zhang’s enthusiastic approach, Zi Yi only smiled and remained silent while Lu Jingye spoke up. “Apologies, but we have to rush back in the afternoon.”


  Leader Zhang was under the impression that the three of them had a mission on hand. Else, Zi Yi and Lu Jingye would not have faked their death. Even though he was disappointed, he did not insist and said, “Alright then, it’s the same if we celebrate till the afternoon.”


  It was currently around 10 a.m.

  Leader Zhang had led them to their canteen.

  The slaughtering of pigs and sheep had already started last night within the canteen. Before they even reached the canteen, the thick scent of braised pork could be smelled from outside.

  “It smells good.” Zi Yi wriggled her nose as she put on a hungry expression.

  Leader Zhang laughed and said, “I had people go purchase the ingredients for seasoning two days back and the braised pork we prepared is the most authentic.”


  While explaining, the group had arrived outside the entrance.

  There were several leaders currently inside the canteen and all of them were laughing while conversing with each other as they waited for the food to be served.

  There were several large canteens in the training camp and this canteen was specially catered for leaders. When Leader Zhang faced Lu Jingye, he subconsciously started to cry poverty. “There are six to seven thousand people in our training camp and after buying this meal, we can only drink porridge and eat pickles for the next following days.”


  Zi Yi looked at him with a scorching gaze.

  Lu Yunxiao was also looking at him.

  Leader Zhang was thick-skinned and he did not seem embarrassed at all. Instead, he became even more energetic. “In particular, during this time where the Lu Group distributes the resources, it is rare for it to come down to us. We have already been tightening our belts for quite some time.”


  Lu Jingye spoke up. “The Lu Group no longer has the ability to provide military supplies.”


  “Ah?!” Leader Zhang was stumped by his words. “What do you mean you no longer have the ability?”


  He did not know the current situation in the Lu Group.

  “Because all the overseas subsidiaries of the Lu Group have been snatched away during the economic war these days and they have suffered heavy losses.”


  Leader Zhang was tongue-tied. In the end, he finally said in horror, “To think that the economic war was so scary!”


  “That’s right.” Lu Jingye nodded his head and remained silent afterward. Clearly, he did not want to say anything more.

  It was not appropriate for Leader Zhang to ask either. He only asked, “Then who will be responsible for our military supplies in the future?”


  “There’s no need to worry about this. The higher-ups will make the appropriate arrangements.”


  Leader Zhang knows that the higher-ups would have their arrangement, but he was used to working with Lu Jingye. He felt that there would never be a rich and easy-going person like Lu Jingye anymore in the future.

  When they walked into the kitchen, everyone who saw Lu Jingye and Zi Yi would greet them.

  Following that, when they looked at Lu Yunxiao, their expressions turned stiff subconsciously, as they felt shocked deep down.

  The Third Young Master Lu even came together with them.

  Lu Yunxiao was a ruthless character. When everyone was training in the capital, the instructors would basically use him as an example.

  They had never seen him before and now that they had finally seen him today, they felt an inexplicable sense of pressure deep down.

  Lu Yunxiao expressionlessly swept his gaze across everyone and tightened his lips without saying anything.

  This caused the group of people to feel even more pressurized.

  The atmosphere had somehow become a little tense.

  Zi Yi checked out everyone’s expressions. The corner of her lips curved up and she said to Lu Jingye, “Ah Jing, I want to head over to the military dog training camp for a while.”


  Lu Jingye motioned for her to wait a while. He then turned to ask Leader Zhang, “Didn’t you mention that there was braised pork? I’m hungry, can you give me some to eat first?”


  His words caused everyone’s gaze to shift to Lu Jingye.

  All of them were thinking:?

  Leader Zhang knew that Lu Jingye was trying to liven up the atmosphere. He was also vexed that he could not find a good reason before. Now that Lu Jingye had spoken up, he laughed and said in response, “Of course.”


  Shortly after, he shouted towards the kitchen, “Old Yang, bring out a bowl of marinated pork ribs.”


  “Coming up!”


  After hearing a response from within the kitchen, they soon saw a middle-aged man coming out with a pot of pork ribs that was the size of his face.

  Zi Yi looked at those pork ribs that were around the size of her arm and she unconsciously swallowed her saliva.

  The chef brought the braised pork ribs to Leader Zhang and Leader Zhang turned to look at Lu Jingye.

  Lu Jingye asked, “Do you have disposable gloves?”


  The chef shook his head. “We don’t but we have gloves that we use. Do you want them?”


  “Yes please, thank you.”


  Lu Jingye was too polite and the chef became a little at a loss. He hastily turned around and shouted to the kitchen staff. Soon, someone rushed out with a pair of gloves.

  Lu Jingye took the gloves and passed them to Zi Yi. “Have some now to fill your stomach. Don’t play for too long and come back for lunch later.”


  Zi Yi’s gaze swept across everyone who was staring at her before she grabbed the gloves, took the largest pork rib, and took a bite without any reservation. “Yummy.”


  She then added. “Then I’ll be leaving first.”


  “Ok.”


  Zi Yi left while she bit the pork rib.

  Everyone present was full of smiles.

  So it turns out that Second Young Master asked for food to feed Student Zi!

  This display of affection was too torturous!

  However, the atmosphere inside the canteen had become much more relaxed due to this incident.

  After Zi Yi left, Leader Zhang led the two brothers to take a seat at an empty table.

  His subordinates brought a pot of tea. It was quite casual here and the teapot they used was an aluminum pot while the cup was the bowl used to fill rice.

  Leader Zhang said, “The conditions here are average, I hope that you don’t mind.”


  Lu Jingye took a sip of the tea and said, “There’s nothing to mind. Tea can be drunk anywhere.”


  “Hahaha…”


  Leader Zhang liked Lu Jingye’s personality. After he had his laugh, he turned to look at Lu Yunxiao.

  Similarly, Lu Yunxiao did not say anything but took a sip of the tea.

  Leader Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

  Following that, he and Lu Jingye had a casual chat.

  They first mentioned the robots Zi Yi had sent them and while chatting, Leader Zhang brought up the recent situation.

  “After finishing this meal, I will be going out on a mission with the robots.”


  Lu Jingye was a little surprised. “What kind of missions require you to attend them personally?”


  “Quite a number of people have disappeared within the Southern borders in recent months and the higher-ups tasked me and another two training camps to lead some people in search of them.”


  Lu Jingye thought of the things Zi Yi managed to pry out from the Gu Master and he unconsciously furrowed his brows.

  If it was what he thought, those missing people were certainly related to Gu Masters.

  “Leader Zhang, how many people do you plan to bring along?”


  “I won’t be able to bring many. We are going over in secret and we might even have to leave the country’s borders. However, the higher ups informed us to bring more military dogs.”


  Lu Jingye nodded his head in response.

  The both of them chatted a while more before changing the topic.

  After all, this was a secret operation and it was inappropriate for Leader Zhang to divulge anything else. Naturally, Lu Jingye would not ask anything more either.

  However, Lu Yunxiao fell into deep thought as he heard the conversation between them.

  Chapter 643 - This Brat Had Actually Dared To Steal the Flower I Planted For My Wife To Gift Someone Else! He’s too Much!

  On the other side

  Zi Yi chewed on the pork ribs while she headed to the military dogs’ training camp.

  When she arrived at the iron fence outside the training camp, she saw several of the military dogs lying low in front of three trainers as they whined. From the looks of it, it seemed as if they were acting cute and it also looked like they were complaining.

  Instructor Li touched the head of one of the military dogs and said with a smile, “It’s fine, Little Zi’s technique is pretty good. You look stylish despite being bald on your heads here and you all still look as handsome as usual.

  Aoo…


  The military dogs clearly did not have the same opinion and they all looked as if they were about to die from embarrassment.

  Zi Yi laughed gloatingly at the sight of the scene.

  The three instructors and a few of the military dogs turned around at the sound of her laughter.

  In the next second, a few military dogs started barking at her fiercely.

  Zi Yi looked over and laughed while waving the pork rib in her hands. “I also think that the shave looks handsome on you.”


  The response Zi Yi got in return was a furious one. Bark! Bark! Bark!

  Instructor Li smiled and walked over in large strides to open the gate for Zi Yi and she entered while munching on the pork rib.

  Several of the military dogs who had received a shave from her made a dash in her direction.

  When the other two instructors saw them rushing towards Zi Yi, they got a fright and hastily shouted to stop them, “Overlord, Sunny, Xiaowu, Flying Tiger, Fox! Come back!”


  Instructor Li also got a fright. Just as he turned around and wanted to stop them, he heard Zi Yi speak. “It seems like you wish to be fully bald dogs.”


  Zi Yi’s voice was not loud, but the military dogs had heard her.

  When they were about a meter away from Zi Yi, they stepped on the breaks and stared at her fiercely.

  Zi Yi smiled with her eyes curved into crescent moons and returned their gaze.

  After maintaining eye contact for a few seconds, she took another bite of the pork rib again.

  The military dogs started to salivate, without an ounce of their former backbones to be seen.

  The other two instructors did not know whether to laugh or cry. The three instructors made eye contact and Instructor Li hinted to them to not be anxious to talk.

  Sometime later, the military dogs’ gazes shifted to the pork rib in Zi Yi’s hands and their saliva flowed even more.

  The way Zi Yi ate it made it seem so delicious and tasty. Coupled with how the braised pork rib was so fragrant, the military dogs started whining like children.

  Zi Yi waved the pork rib in front of them.

  The gaze of several dogs was following the pork rib around.

  Zi Yi took it back and took another large bite before she asked, “Do you want to eat it?”


  Aooo…


  Yes! Yes!

  “Then do you think that the shave I gave you looks good?”


  The military dogs remained silent.

  The three instructors were amused by Zi Yi and the military dog’s interactions.

  Instructor Li said, “The taste of braised pork ribs is too strong and they can’t eat them usually. But it’s a holiday today and the higher-ups had given out some welfare. There is plenty of meat for them.”


  Aooo~

  The military dogs jumped around excitedly like children.

  Zi Yi also smiled. “Then I’ll help you carry the dog food.”


  She then finished the last piece of meat on the bone before throwing it into the trash bin and followed Instructor Li to collect the dog food.

  On the way to collect the food, Instructor Li asked, “Student Zi, why have you come here?”


  He suddenly recalled that it was New Year’s Day and he asked with a smile, “How long is your holiday for New Year’s?”


  Just as Zi Yi was pondering over how she was to answer his question. However, she then heard his subsequent question and answered that instead, “Three days.”


  Instructor Li nodded his head and said, “Then you can spend more time playing with them later. They have all missed you a lot ever since you left.”


  Military dogs were very intelligent and Instructor Li had also spent time with them often and so, he knew of their thoughts.

  “In a few more days, quite a number of the military dogs will be dispatched for a mission. They must be very happy that you have come to accompany them today.”


  Zi Yi nodded her head and said, “Alright, I will spend more time with them.”


  When they made their way back to the military camp, the few military dogs who were complaining just earlier had returned to the training ground located at the back. Currently, they were all seated in line with the other military dogs as they queued. There was also a large dog bowl in front of them and they were clearly waiting for the food to be served.

  After Zi Yi and the three instructors distributed the dog food, they stood by the side and watched them eat.

  The three instructors told Zi Yi about some interesting things these military dogs had done during training.

  Zi Yi laughed uncontrollably at their stories.

  This caused the military dogs who were part of the story to feel that their food tasted bland.

  After they finished their food, all of them had 30 minutes of free time.

  Zi Yi stood there and watched them play. After spectating for some time, she saw Fox and Feihu running in her direction with one in the front and the other at the back.

  Looking at the two who seemed to be sneaking around, Zi Yi somehow thought of the scene where Feihu tried to scare her with a cauliflower snake during the military training.

  Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and looked at them.

  After the two dogs came closer, sure enough, Fox who was blocking Feihu had moved to the side, revealing Feihu who had something in his mouth.

  Feihu threw the item next to Zi Yi’s feet and maintained a distance of three meters away from Zi Yi together with Fox. They squatted down and looked at her.

  Zi Yi looked at the small flower next to her feet and felt touched. She bent down to pick up the flower and asked, “Where did you pluck this flower? It’s really pretty!”


  Feihu and Fox were both very happy and they even jumped up and down on the same spot several times.

  The three instructors standing by the side had also smiled as they watched the scene fold out.

  “Feihu usually looks cheeky and to think that he would know to give Student Zi a flower… but then why does that flower look so familiar?”


  “Haha, isn’t that the flower you said you were raising to give to your wife?”


  “Ugh… it’s indeed that flower. That brat actually dared to steal the flower I planted for my wife to give to someone else?! He’s too much!”


  “Student Zi and Feihu are comrades who have gone through a life and death situation with each other. Just turn a blind eye to it~”


  “I hope that all of them will be able to return safe and sound during this mission. Perhaps one day Student Zi will be free and come over to visit them again.”


  Speaking of this, the three instructors turned silent.

  Even though they were worried, the duty of military dogs was similar to them, where they had to defend the country. Thus, they should go on a mission whenever there was one.

  Zi Yi stayed in the military dog training camp for nearly an hour and it was Lu Jingye who personally came over to fetch her.

  Some of the military dogs barked at her when she was leaving.

  Zi Yi waved at them and said, “I’ll come to see you again when I have time during my holidays.”


  The military dogs were elated. All of them stood near the iron fence and sent them off.

  Zi Yi ate lunch in the training camp and left afterwards.

  Before they left, Lu Jingye said to Leader Zhang, “If there are no accidents, I will still be responsible for your supplies. However, I will no longer represent the Lu Group in the future.”


  Leader Zhang was happy to hear that Lu Jingye was still in charge, but what Lu Jingye said in the end caused him to turn silent. He patted Lu Jingye’s shoulders and comforted him. “Little Lu, don’t be sad. Even if you are no longer the CEO of the Lu Group, you will still earn tons of money wherever you go. You are the god of wealth in our hearts.”


  Zi Yi could not help but laugh at his words.

  She then thought of something and said to Leader Zhang, “Do give additional portions to the dogs next time. While I was chewing on the pork rib, all of them were so hungry that their saliva was spilling out.”


  Leader Zhang smiled and promised her. “No problem!”


  Zi Yi, Lu Jingye, and Lu Yunxiao headed back to the mountains. Looking at the three of their back views, Leader Zhang stroked his jaw and said cheerfully, “How great that they are well!”


  He had been downcast for several days upon hearing the news of their car accident.

  By the time they returned to the secret base, it was already around 4 p.m. in the afternoon.

  The skies in the mountains turned dark early. However, as it was still snowing, the whole place was still bright.

  Their return was timely and it was just right on time for dinner if they directly headed to the canteen now.
