After lying on the hospital bed for 35 days, Ye Zhen was finally discharged from the hospital alive and well.

Long Jiwei was a little anxious about this, because since Ye Zhen came to his house with a bundle and came to sweetly call him "Mom", he has never been able to hold a video conference properly.Every time in the middle of a meeting of the National Security Bureau, there will always be various unexpected events that force him to turn off the computer—for example, Ye Zhen ran into the study and screamed: "Mom—! Uncle Xuanlin burned a big hole in my school uniform!" For example, Xuanlin roared angrily all the time: "Call me dad! Call me dad——!"

During the 35 days when Ye Zhen was under house arrest by Chu Ci in the hospital, Long Jiwei finally took a breath.On the one hand, he was finally able to complete his duties as the director of the Ninth Division of National Security on time every day, and on the other hand, he was able to spare half an hour every day to lovingly caress the head of classmate Ye Shisan Xiao.

Because there was a big mistake in the last trip to Beijing, the Ninth Office is not yet ready to invite Ye Zhen for the second time.Long Jiwei had no choice but to open the door of the house, watching Ye Shisan primary school student Ye Shisan rolled into a ball with Xuan Lin within 5 minutes of entering the house with an iceberg face.

Long Jiwei sat on the sofa with his forehead supported.Just now when he was drinking porridge with his eyes fixed on the bowl, a piece of sashimi suddenly fell from the sky and fell into the porridge bowl in front of his nose with a bang.He didn't need to look at him to know that there were Xuanlin's saliva and Ye Zhen's tooth marks on the fish fillet.

Xuanlin slapped the table furiously: "Student Ye Shisan! You are too much! I have already spat on fish fillets, how dare you snatch them! Don't you think it's disgusting!"

Long Jiwei: "..."

Long Jiwei picked out the sashimi silently, put down the bowl, got up and went to the study to read the documents.

Fortunately, Director Long Jiu's disaster did not last long, and soon his classmate Ye Shisan gave him relief.

Ye Shisan said, "Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore."

He said this on a sunny Sunday morning, which is usually used by Long Jiwei to drink morning tea, read the report, work intently for two hours, and then get up and call his subordinates to arrange work.

Ye Shisan obviously picked a good time to talk about this matter, and he didn't forget to add a sentence after he finished speaking: "—Uncle Xuanlin has agreed."

"Call Dad." Xuanlin said numbly.

"..." Long Jiwei was silent for a while, and finally asked: "Then what do you want to do, learn to play cards with Chu Ci and then go to Macau to seek a living?"

Ye Zhen pulled up a chair, sat in front of him, and then put his hand on Long Jiwei's knee, looking like a puppy with its front paws on the ground.

"I've already made up my mind. I'm going to find a martial arts gym to continue my practice, or find a mountain to retreat like I did before I came here. I can't beat Kurosawagawa now, but it doesn't mean I won't be able to deal with Chuan Chuan in the future..."

Long Jiwei interrupted him: "What about after that?"

Ye Zhen asked: "Why do you all ask me 'what about after that'? I haven't even done what I'm doing right now, so why talk about the future? Maybe I fell on the road one day and put it back on again, so I don't need to think about the future of the Shandi family..."

Long Jiwei took a breath, and shifted his gaze from his face to Xuan Lin's: "You agree?"

Xuan Lin nodded, and said helplessly: "Since Chu Ci went to the hospital to take care of him, he now reflexively vomits whenever he sees a chemistry book... He only has good Chinese, only passed mathematics and physics, and is directly a passer in English. Big duck."

Long Jiwei: "..."

Ye Zhen said: "Even if I don't have a diploma, right? I can still live without it. If I go to high school and get a diploma, at least three years have passed. During these three years, Shan Diren will definitely come to find me. I settled the score. Do you think he will really let me go? "

"...The Nine Offices will protect you."

"I don't need the protection of the Nine Divisions, I want to trouble Jin Shanji. Mom, if I waste three years in high school, it's no use at all. But if I spend these three years in my own way, I can definitely have the ability to protect themselves."

Long Jiwei supported his forehead, his bangs deeply hid his eyes under his eyelashes.

After a long while, he raised his head, and calmly said to Xuan Lin: "Go to the bedroom and bring the meeting gift from Chu Ci to Ye Shisan."

Xuanlin went without any objection, and came back with a mahogany box.

Long Jiwei opened the box in front of Ye Zhen. Inside was a pitch-black gun and a bayonet-shaped military dagger.The dagger is very special, there is no buckle on the scabbard, and it can be pulled out of the sheath casually; there is no finger guard on the handle, on the contrary, it has rough particles, which is a bit painful to hold in the palm.

"The gun was allocated to Chu Ci by Han Yue. Be careful not to touch it. There are five bullets in it, and one is stuck in the chamber. The bayonet is an old thing that Chu Ci used back then. After special treatment, it almost cuts iron like mud."

Long Jiwei signaled Ye Zhen to take out the bayonet, and it came out of the sheath with a light pull.I saw that the chi-long blade had a huge arc, Ye Zhen slashed with his backhand, the blade made a soft sound through the wind, and the cutting range was much larger than that of ordinary military daggers.

And the blade does not know what kind of paint is used, even if it is facing the light, it does not reflect at all, and it is so dark that it seems to have absorbed all the light sources.

"From today onwards, you can go to the shooting range of the military region to practice shooting, and I will greet the local troops."

Long Jiwei ignored Ye Zhen's eyes that widened instantly, and said flatly: "Come and find me when you have practiced every shot, I have a place to put you."

Ye Zhen glanced back and forth between the pistol and Long Jiwei's face in a daze, and asked weakly, "Then can I stop doing my chemistry homework?"

Long Jiwei raised one eyebrow, which made his eyes look as sharp and menacing as a blade: "Wake up, little student Ye Shisan, do you think I really promised you that you don't have to go to school?"

As the first minor to use the shooting range of the military region, Ye Shisan primary school student was sent to the gate of the garrison by Xuan Lin in an SUV.

Since then, his life has become quite regular: during the day, he wears earmuffs to practice shooting, most of which are mechanical lifting targets, and then Xuanlin personally reports the targets; at night, he goes home to study homework, and then reads English with the radio for half an hour.

The latter two tasks were completed horribly, but the first one made obvious progress very quickly.It took less than three months to go from completely missing the target to five out of ten rounds hitting the target, from an average of three rings to an average of seven rings, and from an astonishing score of [-] rings per fifty rounds. time.

Xuanlin found it incredible, and began to use moving targets for him.Ye Zhen was helpless at first, but soon he became familiar with the moving frequency and distance, and it took him only one month to fire [-] rounds without fail.

"What's so strange about this?" Ye Zhen shook the muzzle of his gun and said, "When I was learning acupuncture points, in order to practice accuracy, I used chopsticks to catch flies in the air, let alone a small moving target? I know a senior who can use it. Stones knock over animals running dozens of meters away..."

"Modern military training is too degraded," Ye Zhen finally made his closing statement, "too much reliance on pistols, rifles, submachine guns, and even mortars makes people lose their attacking instincts. Once the bullets run out, they are like A lion that has lost its tusks is as fearless. How can people rely too much on inanimate things like weapons? One day people will degenerate to only one index finger, anyway, one finger is enough to pull the trigger.”

Xuanlin is not interested in human evolution. After returning home at night, he reported to Long Jiwei the latest progress of his classmate Ye Shisan, so the next day, when Ye Zhen was lying on the shooting range and shot all the bullets in one go , Suddenly one hand picked him up from the ground and took off his earmuffs.

Long Jiwei stood in front of him, wearing a black vest, camouflage trousers, and a pair of high-top military boots. His indifferent and solemn expression looked like a senior officer visiting the camp.

A deputy regimental officer stood behind him, looking at the riddled target in the distance with a surprised expression, his eyes almost staring at the window.

"Ye Shisan," Long Jiwei said condescendingly, his voice was as hard and irresistible as if he had been frozen in ice, "—go home and pack all your luggage, we will go to Yunnan."
