The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

Many classmates were curious about who Hua Yan shared a dorm room with, but no one knew where she lived.

Fu Lin and Fu Wang, like guardians of a flower, escorted Hua Yan back to her dormitory, only to discover that she lived in a single room there. They were surprised, envious, and curious.

Unexpectedly, Hua Yan's treatment was even better than theirs. They were only assigned to four-person dorm rooms, while everyone else was in eight-person rooms. They initially felt superior, but now it's nothing to mention.

Downstairs, Men Sheng, Men Rong, and Ye Zhuang were waiting there, carrying quite a few things.

"Sister Rong, eldest brother, second brother, don't you have classes?"

"We heard that you are leaving for the army this afternoon and military training will start tomorrow. We were afraid that we wouldn't see you when you left, so we brought you the things we prepared."

We just heard you were going to do military training, so we just bought whatever stuff you might need.

The group carried the things to Hua Yan's dormitory before reluctantly leaving. They gave her many instructions, looking as if they were worried that Hua Yan would suffer.

Right after lunch, the counselor organized everyone to get on the bus to go to the military base, as if they were in a hurry.

Everyone was curious about what the military was like, and they chattered all the way. Even classmates who weren't familiar with each other before were now laughing and talking together.

They were taken to the military base, where the soldiers were training in orderly rows.

Hua Yan saw Taiji from afar, and he was also looking for her. Their eyes met, and they exchanged a knowing smile.

Soon, Hua Yan and her group were arranged to stay by the military personnel in charge of receiving them. Then they assembled, received a speech from the leader, and were finally informed that military training would begin on time the next day.

Hua Yan was fine, but the other students' initial excitement was replaced by the hectic schedule, making them somewhat nervous and tired.

Students from Yenching University, Huaqiao University, and many other universities in Kyoto participated in the training camp.

After the military training officially started, many students were not used to it. However, seeing that even a child as young as Hua Yan did not back down, those of them who were so tired that they wanted to lie down on the spot had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere.

Hua Yan's class performed the best among all the students participating in military training. At first, Fu Lin and Fu Wang were worried that Hua Yan wouldn't be able to handle it, but after the first day, Hua Yan was fine, while they were a bit overwhelmed.

Even in this situation, Fu Lin, Fu Wang, and other classmates still showed Hua Yan care and love.

To thank her older brothers and sisters, Hua Yan shared the snacks she had brought with them.

Unexpectedly, after eating the snacks, everyone felt refreshed and no longer tired.

Haha! That's just a regular snack! It's been treated with something extra.

And so, the twenty-day military training was about to end, and students from all the schools participated in the performance.

Although Hua Yan was tall for her age, she was still short among the group of young people, so she was assigned to carry the flag at the front.

As she entered, she suddenly heard someone call "Jiu'er". Hua Yan glanced around and her eyes widened in surprise; she saw Hu Zhi'ang.

Hu Zhiang's team was already standing in the center of the playground. He had heard that Hua Yan and the others were also participating in military training, but their school was not in the same area as theirs, and he could not move around freely, so even if he wanted to go see Hua Yan, he could not.

Unexpectedly, during today's performance, when everyone gathered together, Hu Zhiang spotted Hua Yan at a glance and couldn't help but call out Hua Yan's nickname.

"Foolish Brother!"

Hua Yan replied briefly, then smiled at Hu Zhiang and led the team towards their location.

As expected, Hua Yan and her team won first place in the formation reviewed by the leaders. After receiving the award from the leaders, everyone elected Hua Yan to accept it.

"Young comrade, you don't look very old."

The leader was surprised to find such a young college student and couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"Commander, I am eight years old this year."

"Oh? So young, which school do you go to?"

The boss is quite the gossip.

"I'm from the Economics Department of Yenching University."

Hua Yan thought to herself, "Don't you know who you're giving the award to? Why are you asking such a stupid question?"

"Haha! You're from Peking University, may I ask your name?"

"Commander, my name is Hua Yan. Hua as in flower, Yan as in face."

The leader felt that he had heard the name before, but couldn't remember where.

"Good! The country needs you. Study hard and serve the country in the future."

"Yes! Chief."

Those below the stage saw the big boss talking incoherently to Hua Yan, who appeared to be obeying orders.

Below the stage, Fu Lin and Fu Wang looked on with pride, their faces beaming as they gazed at Hua Yan. Tai Ji, on the other hand, looked at Hua Yan with doting eyes; this girl was a dazzling presence wherever she went. Hu Zhiang, whose expression had been serious for so long, finally broke into a smile.

We're finally back at school! Our counselor told us that the National Day holiday starts tomorrow, and we can go home this afternoon.

Hua Yan was safely escorted back to her dormitory by Fu Lin and Fu Wang. The two brothers invited Hua Yan to their home, but Hua Yan politely declined, saying that she would bring them Shengjing specialties when she returned from her holiday.

During military training, the troops required that no one contact the outside world, so Hua Yan didn't bring her phone. Back in the dormitory, Hua Yan first turned on her phone, wanting to call Kong Wen and ask him to pick her and Taiji up.

The phone had just been turned on when it came in. It was a number from country A, but it wasn't Ronghua's or Fuyue's.

"Are you Ninth Master?"

The other person's voice was that of a middle-aged man.

"Who are you?"

Not many people know that Hua Yan is Ninth Master; no one in Country A knows this title. Hua Yan's face was serious, and her tone was icy.

"Liu Liang, you're familiar with him, aren't you? I saw that he labeled you as Boss Ninth Master."

A middle-aged man sat on a spacious leather sofa in a state-of-the-art office in Country A, a cigar dangling from his lips, his eyes narrowed to slits. He hadn't expected that Liu Liang's so-called boss was a woman, and judging from her voice, she sounded like a child.

"What did you do to him?"

Hua Yan was anxious, but her tone remained calm.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to see you. When is a convenient time for you?"

"I'll book a plane ticket right now so I can hear Liu Liang's voice."

Hua Yan didn't know what had happened, but she wanted to make sure Liu Liang was still alive and well.

Soon, Liu Liang's voice came through the microphone.

"Jiu'er, I'm fine, don't come any closer, I can handle this. You..."

Before Liu Liang could finish speaking, the middle-aged man's voice came through again.

"Ninth Master, I look forward to meeting you."

“Whenever I call, Liu Liang has to answer. You want to see me, right? Then you have to ensure Liu Liang’s safety.”

After saying that, Hua Yan hung up the phone readily and then called An Xin.

"Uncle Xin, please arrange your work and come with me to Country A to select ten top experts."

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away."

An Xin didn't ask what was wrong; he would unconditionally comply with any request Hua Yan made. He was unaware of Liu Liang's accident at the moment, as he was too busy to pay attention to Liu Liang.

"You will travel directly from Japan to New York City."

Hua Yan knew that Liu Liang had gone to New York City in Country A to investigate the city's underworld forces, which was also a task Hua Yan had assigned to him.

Hua Yan had Rong Hua buy her an apartment in New York City. During her last trip to Country A, she stored ten AK-12s there. These were taken from her personal space, given to her by Hu Zhi'ang in her previous life. She could only take out one at a time, so storing ten took quite some time.

After returning from Harbin, Hua Yan sent Liu Liang to New York and had him stay in her apartment. She also told Liu Liang where the gun was hidden.

Dealing with those dark forces requires powerful equipment. Liu Liang never expected that Hua Yan would leave him such advanced weaponry.
