Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 294 The Trip to Langde Village (4)

No matter what decision Xia Lan makes, it will have no impact on this operation. Since he has become involved, he will not allow the battle to proceed according to the original plot.

As for how to do it, his plan already has a rough outline.

Xia Lan's mouth moved slightly, as if she wanted to say a few more words in her defense, but she sadly discovered that she couldn't find an excuse no matter how she looked at it.

She knew perfectly well that what Geng Jihui said was true, and that he had saved her face in his words. If she continued to argue, she would only appear to be being unreasonable.

Moreover, there are more people in Group B now, and if things continue to escalate, it will not be good for her.

So Xia Lan decided to settle accounts with Chang Ning later!
She hadn't offended Chang Ning, so why was this guy targeting her?

"Okay, you can follow me, but don't get too close."

Upon hearing this, Chang Ning immediately wanted to refute it, as if they were going to great lengths to protect Xia Lan.

However, considering that arguing with Xia Lan again would put Geng Jihui in a difficult position, it was indeed the ostrich guy who first offered to protect her.

Thinking of this, Chang Ning felt a surge of anger towards the ostrich. Had he really fallen in love with Xia Lan at first sight?

There are no other good girls in the world, and he just can't understand how an ostrich could fall for such a self-righteous person.
Could it be due to the so-called world consciousness?
Now that Xia Lan has agreed, everything is fine and preparations can proceed according to plan.

"I will notify you when I meet with the informant."

Xia Lan keeps her word; since she agreed to let Group B come along, she won't go back on her word.

The ostrich responded to Xia Lan with a smug grin, making the medic standing nearby feel extremely embarrassed.

If it weren't for his deep affection for the ostrich, he would have strangled the guy to death; it was too embarrassing!
Everyone knows you like her, but can't you be a little more reserved? Don't act like you don't care about her.

Geng Jihui couldn't stand it any longer, so he decided to just ignore it and leave the meeting room after giving Chang Ning a wink.

Seeing this, Chang Ning understood the unspoken meaning and followed suit. As a result, it was like pushing a domino effect, triggering a chain reaction. Except for Ostrich and Xia Lan, everyone got up and left.

It seems everyone is quite disgusted by ostriches.

The reason why Ostrich and Xia Lan didn't react was because the former's attention wasn't on his comrades, while the latter did notice Geng Jihui giving Chang Ning a wink, but Xia Lan didn't intend to get involved as it was an internal matter for Group B.

"Huh? Why did they all leave?"

By the time Ostrich realized that the room was empty, all his comrades had already left, leaving only him and Xia Lan in the meeting room.

Upon seeing this, the ostrich inwardly exclaimed that his good brothers were loyal, leaving him and his beloved a chance to be alone.

But who knew that "the falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is heartless"? He wanted to find a topic to chat with Xia Lan to deepen their relationship, but she didn't even look at him, leaving him alone to perform a silent play to the air.

Later, he couldn't stand it anymore. When he mustered up the courage to break the silence, he looked up and saw Xia Lan's cold eyes, which immediately shattered the courage that the ostrich had finally mustered.

Oh, poor ostrich!

Xia Lan was still angry because Chang Ning had argued with her, and now when she saw the faces of the B group members, she immediately thought of that hateful guy Chang Ning.

It's no wonder they wouldn't give an ostrich a friendly look.

The ostrich's pursuit of love became much more difficult after Chang Ning's intervention.

Outside the meeting room, everyone came out and saw Chang Ning and Geng Jihui chatting around the corner.

Everyone guessed that the two of them wanted to talk alone, so they didn't go up to them and went about their own business.

"Is Changning hiding something from me? Or is she facing some difficulties?"

Geng Jihui looked at Chang Ning with a worried expression. Having known him for so long, Geng Jihui had never seen him so aggressive.

Based on his past experience, Geng Jihui felt that Chang Ning might be having some difficulties, so he asked her. "What could be wrong with me? I'm not an ostrich burying my head in the sand, thinking about finding a partner all the time."

Chang Ning didn't forget to make a joke about the ostrich while speaking.

"Then why are you targeting Staff Officer Xia like this? Did she offend you in some way?"

Upon hearing Geng Jihui's question, Chang Ning suddenly realized what was going on.

It seems that Geng Jihui noticed his excessive targeting of Xia Lan today.

“She has never offended me. I’m just worried that cooperating with her would be dangerous.”

"why?"

Geng Jihui was puzzled by Chang Ning's rejection of Staff Officer Xia.

Xia Lan wasn't an enemy, and she was quite agile.

They are currently short-staffed, and the addition of Staff Officer Xia can alleviate the pressure caused by the manpower shortage.

"We've met Xia Lan twice. I won't say anything about the first time since it was a short meeting."

But this time, she gave me a different feeling.

Firstly, when we first entered Langde Village, she clearly saw the national flag on our chests but still fired.

Isn't she afraid we'll shoot her?
Didn't she think about the consequences of her actions?
Therefore, I think Xia Lan is a brainless officer!
Secondly, when we asked her to send someone to protect her during the rendezvous, she refused.

The reason given was that she had great confidence in her own skills and the informants she had personally developed.

As a member of the covert operations, doesn't he understand the unpredictability of human nature? He even claims to believe in his own abilities. If someone were to deliberately ambush him, how many bullets could he possibly dodge?
That's arrogant!

Finally, ever since seeing Xia Lan, even the ostrich's soul has flown away.

His eyes were practically glued to Xia Lan 24/7; whether he could execute the next battle plan in his current state was still a question.

He might risk his own safety to rescue Xia Lan if she is in danger, thus dragging the entire Group B down with him.

Do you think I wouldn't have a problem with Xia Lan?

I'm afraid I'll die for no reason if I have teammates like this!

Since Geng Jihui asked, Chang Ning simply poured out all her thoughts like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

To be honest, after pouring out his heart to Geng Jihui, he felt much more relaxed.

Geng Jihui was stunned by what Chang Ning said.

He hadn't thought that far ahead, nor did he have the keen observation skills of Chang Ning.

Hearing him say that, Geng Jihui felt a chill run down his spine.

They don't know how many criminals selling fake drugs they will have to fight next, but the team has encountered problems, and big problems at that.

If this problem isn't solved, they really will be wiped out, just like Chang Ning said.

The ostrich problem is easy to solve. Geng Jihui believes that as long as the seriousness of the problem is explained to him clearly, the ostrich will understand what he should do.

What about Staff Officer Xia?
Based on our interactions today, it seems that Staff Officer Xia tends to act impulsively when her temper flares up, and given that she is a member of the Armed Police, it's difficult to say what will happen to her.

It seems we must deal with Staff Officer Xia's issue before taking action.
