Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1152 - 682: Conviction / Wager

That look of suspicion, Luo Ye has seen it not for the first time. Therefore, even though she clearly knows about Deng Ruoming’s disdain towards her, she will not get angry. Whether it’s a mule or a horse, you have to walk it to know, so she will give everyone a chance to judge.

Ten minutes later, Luo Ye, a spot of red amidst the lush green, was personally escorted by Deng Ruoming to the third company of the second battalion under countless watchful eyes.

On the way, Deng Ruoming kept emphasizing to Luo Ye that this company has undertaken numerous important and hazardous tasks without ever failing!

Hearing this, it seemed to emphasize that if anything were to go wrong this time, it would absolutely not be the responsibility of the third company. Luo Ye sighed inwardly—looked down upon again.

"Shan Gang!"

With Deng Ruoming’s shout, a man doing a big loop quickly jumped off the horizontal bar and ran over, standing straight and saluting, "Commander!"

"Major Luo, this is Commander Shan Gang of the third company." Deng Ruoming said, looking at the man, "Shan Gang, this is Major Luo, the operation leader I mentioned to you yesterday. From now on, whatever you do, follow her instructions!"

"Yes!" Shan Gang responded, politely turned to Luo Ye and saluted, "Commander Shan Gang reporting to Major Luo, fully listening to Major Luo’s arrangements!"

Luo Ye returned the salute, sizing up the person in front of her, around twenty-five or six years old, about 180 centimeters tall, with a strong build, dark skin, and rugged features. Despite the cold winter, he wore only a vest, and his back was soaked with sweat—obviously a very robust person.

Shan Gang, feeling uneasy under Luo Ye’s gaze, then suggested, "Major Luo, should I gather everyone for an assembly?"

"Alright." Luo Ye turned her head to look at Deng Ruoming, who was standing by with a smile, "Commander Deng, if you’re busy, don’t worry about me."

Deng Ruoming waved his hand, "It’s alright, I’m not busy." Clearly, he intended to observe Luo Ye’s next performance.

Thirty seconds later, besides the cooking squad, ninety officers and soldiers stood in front of Luo Ye, each pair of eyes staring keenly at her.

Shan Gang ran to Luo Ye’s front, "Report to Major Luo, the ninety officers and soldiers participating in the operation from the third company are all present, please inspect!"

"At ease!"

"Attention!"

Luo Ye glanced around, a smile curled at her lips, "Obeying orders is a soldier’s duty, so no matter what you think, you must obey.

However, simultaneously obeying makes everyone feel very aggrieved, thinking that such a young girl without much experience doesn’t have the qualifications to lead the third company’s elite unit.

I am someone who doesn’t like beating around the bush, so everyone can frankly tell me, am I right or wrong?"

"Right!"

Everyone straightforwardly and in unison answered Luo Ye.

Luo Ye’s smile deepened, "When on a mission, collective coordination guarantees greater success. If there’s internal resentment, it will inevitably affect the operation. So before action, I’ll show you a little demonstration to see if I’m qualified to lead you into action!"

Shan Gang quickly stepped forward, "Major Luo, perhaps we will only accompany you on one mission, and we will absolutely follow your command." Clearly, he perceived Luo Ye’s suggestion as a competitive challenge.

"Well then, you were just practicing the big loop, so let me try that." Said Luo Ye, as she walked directly to the horizontal bar, made a light jump, and grasped the crossbar with both hands.

The officers and soldiers of the third company exchanged glances, wondering if they were being too unkind earlier. Asking a young, like-a-flower maiden to perform the big loop, was it excessive?

Thinking this way, most directed their pleading eyes towards Deng Ruoming.

"Ahem!" Deng Ruoming cleared his throat to cover up, "I still have some materials to review, I’ll head back first. Call me if there’s anything." As soon as he finished talking, he slinked away.

Shan Gang couldn’t help but smile wryly. Clearly, the commander didn’t believe in her either, yet let them carry on; now, if something happened, he just slipped away.

The problem now was, if this young lady embarrassed herself, what would he do? After all, she was sent by the higher-ups, and if things went wrong like this, it would be hard to explain.

With her hands gripping the horizontal bar, Luo Ye naturally caught all the expressions around her, feeling the setup was almost complete. She then exerted force with her hands and began rotating...

Shan Gang signaled, and three platoon leaders immediately gathered under the bar, pretending to count quietly. The purpose, of course, was to be ready at a crucial moment to give a "hand."

"... One hundred twenty-one, one hundred twenty-two..."

By now, the three platoon leaders had already forgotten the reason they stood under the bar, achieving such a number wasn’t too hard for them, but the opponent was a delicate girl, and looking at her easy manner, her strength might not be weaker than theirs!

"... Two hundred thirty-five, two hundred thirty-six..."

The counting grew louder, and the officers and soldiers of the third company all showed eagerness just by this stamina alone, they were impressed!

Originally standing on the periphery, planning to ask for help from the commander at any time, Shan Gang also moved to the front; his dark face shone with excitement!

When she reached three hundred twenty, Luo Ye closed her eyes and calmed her breath, jumped off the horizontal bar, and flashed a smile at everyone, "I won’t continue, it’s quite a waste of time."

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Not only the third company, but the second and fourth companies training nearby also started clapping along.

Soldiers most admire the strong, regardless of whether you’re a man or a woman!

Once Shan Gang gathered the soldiers of the third company into the large conference room and listened to Luo Ye’s action plan, each person cast an even more eager look at her.

This young commander is talented in both literature and martial arts!

...

At the same time.

"Those soldiers have never taken us seriously. This is the perfect opportunity to see who’s really stronger!"

"Exactly, whether it’s marksmanship or skills, we’re absolutely unafraid!"

"Captain Hang, I strongly request that during the grouping, the reconnaissance team be placed together. That’s the only way to compete!"

"..."

Hang Menglin gathered the members of the reconnaissance team in the large conference room to explain the situation, and the room immediately erupted.

For a long time, the relationship between the police and the military has been somewhat awkward, so with this opportunity, everyone is eager to prove themselves.

"Enough, this isn’t about words. If you truly want to prove yourselves, keep your eyes sharp during the operation and don’t disgrace our reconnaissance team.

This mission carries some risks. Normally, we should let everyone meet with their families, but due to certain special reasons, we’ll have to let you share the good news with your families afterward instead of worrying them.

I must emphasize that in the operation, safety is paramount. If you’re alive, you have everything. Do you all understand?"

"Understood!"

"Alright, hand over your phones, dismiss to pack your belongings, two people per group, report back to me immediately after the operation!"

"Yes!"

The reason for doing this is well understood by everyone. It’s not about distrust; it’s about being preventive, so no one has any objections to this arrangement.

...

When both teams met at the East Intersection, it was ten minutes to seven.

The members from Hang Menglin’s side were visibly surprised to see the commander was a young girl. However, seeing that the usually arrogant soldiers from the third company were all respectful towards Luo Ye, they understood right away that they shouldn’t underestimate her youth. If she didn’t have real skills, those proud soldiers would never have bowed their heads.

After briefly introducing herself, Luo Ye divided everyone into ten groups, appointed leaders, and ordered them to board the vehicles.

"Captain Luo!" Someone from Hang Menglin’s side raised their hand.

"Speak!"

A man in his twenties stepped forward: "Reporting to Captain Luo, we hope that after this operation, the most outstanding group can be selected."

Shan Gang frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "You want to compete with us? Bring it on."

Luo Ye was surprised to see Shan Gang, who had always been steady, showing emotion. After a brief consideration, she agreed to the man’s request: "Alright, after this operation is over, the most outstanding group will be selected.

The criteria will be teamwork harmony and the group’s contribution to the operation. The prize will be a Beijing Jeep, funded personally by me!"

"Oh!" A cheer erupted from the crowd, followed by some objections: "Captain, how do we evaluate this contribution?"

"Ten groups will evaluate each other. Of course, if you all feel the personnel is unequal and it can’t be fair, there’s nothing I can do. This matter requires absolute trust.

Moreover, we have to admit that apart from skill, success also involves luck, which needs everyone to approach with a calm mind."

...

At seven-thirty, three large trucks covered with protective nets turned from the East Intersection into the Yunsong Mountain Range, slowly following the winding mountain roads until they stopped near a bamboo forest on the eastern branch.

The door of the first truck opened, and Luo Ye, dressed in camouflage night gear, jumped off first, followed closely by Hang Menglin and Shan Gang, who quickly came to open the back compartment.

Luo Ye signaled, and the personnel from the other trucks also began to jump off and open the back compartments.

Groups had been formed before departure, so once everyone hopped off the trucks, they quickly dispersed into the vastness of the night in their units.

"Coach Hang..." As Hang Menglin was about to leave with eight team members, Luo Ye stopped her.

"What orders does Captain Luo have?" Luo Ye was the captain of this Special Action Team, so since the beginning of the operation, Hang Menglin formally addressed her as "Captain Luo."

"Yu Na called me, saying she’s worried about Coach Hang and asked me to find out if anything has happened on your end. Of course, she doesn’t know I’m the one responsible for this operation; she only knows I’m going to Xiangshan City, which is next to Qujing City, and hopes I can go to Qujing City."

"I understand what you mean, I’ll be careful and stay safe, don’t worry." Hang Menglin exhaled deeply, "However, you being friends with Yu Na makes me really happy."
