Chapter 97: Could Wang Ye Be the Regiment Commander’s Son?

“Brother Wang, what time is it? How long do they have to run?” Gu Yingnan asked Wang Ye for the third time in the dormitory.

Wang Ye reached over to the pillow and picked up his watch. “Soon, it’s almost 11:30. They should be back soon!” he replied in a low voice.

Indeed, after Wang Ye said this, about ten minutes later, footsteps approached from outside. The door swung open.

“Hehe, brothers, are you asleep?” Liang Fan entered the room, behaving oddly.

Everyone in the dormitory was stunned, wondering what was going on. Weren’t they supposed to be punished for fighting? Why did Liang Fan seem so lively and happy, as if he had just returned from a leisurely outing?

While the others in the dormitory were in a daze, Qin Li hurriedly ran to Wang Ye’s bed. “Brother Wang, quickly reimburse me!”

“What’s going on with you guys?” Wang Ye was also taken aback.

He looked at Liang Fan’s grinning face.

Especially when he noticed that Liang Fan was asking for money with one hand while holding a bowl of instant noodles and a bottle of iced red tea in the other.

This situation made Wang Ye’s brain feel a little overwhelmed.

“What the hell was this?” Wang Ye finally managed to gather his thoughts and asked, feeling perplexed by the situation.

“Hehe, Brother Wang, we did it for you today…” Qin Li began to explain before Wang Ye could fully comprehend the situation.

Liang Fan chimed in, adding to the explanation, and even Zhang Ping’an contributed a few words.

“Fuck, well done. I would’ve beaten him up myself too,” Gu Yingnan exclaimed, showing his support.

Song Yuejin, who was on the upper bunk opposite Wang Ye, also expressed his anger, “Fuck, this person’s mouth is really rotten.”

Wang Ye belonged to class five, and now, apart from Deng Hai, not many people were dissatisfied with him.

In fact, even Deng Hai wouldn’t openly resist Wang Ye’s orders. If Wang Ye asked him to do push-ups or take care of the housework and pointed out any mistakes, Deng Hai would immediately rectify the situation.

Of course, if someone had talked to Deng Hai about this matter and badmouthed Wang Ye, they would definitely not have gotten into a fight.

However, it seemed that they had sought trouble with Wan Baojiang. The situation had taken an unexpected turn, leaving Wang Ye puzzled and wondering about the reasons behind it.

This fellow was taken aback at first. He had always remembered how Wang Ye had helped him back then. When Deng Hai quarreled with Wang Ye that day, he had even jumped in to defend him.

Now, this foreign student was bad-mouthing Wang Ye, and he couldn’t bear it any longer.

“Alright, let’s all lower our voices!” Ye Sanshi, who had placed the drink on the bed, intervened and said to everyone. He then took the instant noodles and headed to the water dispenser.

Naturally, the students of Class Five followed Ye Sanshi’s instruction, and their voices quieted down.

Wang Ye also spoke in a hushed tone to Qin Li, ‘Til reimburse you for the noodles. I’ll make it up to you by treating you to a better meal tomorrow.”

To be honest, Wang Ye was touched. These guys were actually fighting because of him. It was beyond his expectations.

Especially Zhang Ping’an, who seemed honest and a little naive, also spoke up.

“Hehe, Brother Wang, don’t look at me like that. His words were just too unpleasant. He questioned if you were a pretentious person and if we also found you unbearable. He even called people like you bootlickers. He went as far as to say that during the Japanese occupation, you would have been a high-quality traitor, someone they could put in an important position.” “Hmm?”

Wang Ye’s smile instantly disappeared. He lifted the blanket and was about to get up.

“What are you doing?” Ye Sanshi, standing beside the water dispenser, said with a serious expression, glaring at Zhang Ping’an.

“Why didn’t you say this when we were outside just now?” he thought, but then realized he hadn’t asked about these things at all.

“Class monitor, I want to go to the police about this. I don’t care about anything else or that he was beaten up. He said I was a traitor. I’m a soldier now!” Wang Ye stood up and looked at Ye Sanshi with determination.

After a brief silence, Ye Sanshi nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go find him!”

He then turned to Liang Fan, who was waiting for the cup of instant noodles, and said, “Take mine. Put yours in my cabinet.”

Liang Fan hurriedly asked, “Can we go?”

“What are you going to do? The rest of you should lie down obediently. If you want to eat instant noodles, eat them quickly. If you don’t want to eat them, put them away and lie on the bed. Also, don’t make any noise. Wang Ye and I will be back soon,” Ye Sanshi instructed the other students in the dormitory.

After saying that, he and Wang Ye walked towards the dormitory door.

Once they were in the aisle, Ye Sanshi spoke softly to Wang Ye, “They’re still on the runway. Let’s go talk to the company commander about this!”

In fact, they could leave without saying goodbye, as the veteran squad leader was still on duty at the entrance of the dormitory downstairs. Ye Sanshi, being the class monitor, only needed to take everyone out to register, which he had already done. The instructors or company commander would find out during their night check, and even if they didn’t check tonight, they would see the shift records tomorrow.

So, there was no need to sneak out.

Moreover, they were in the right, and the matter was indeed very serious.

Wang Ye was now a dedicated soldier, and if he stood out, it was natural for some jealousy to arise behind his back. Those who weren’t jealous were likely just mediocre.

However, even if someone was envious, there were some things that they couldn’t say, especially if Wang Ye found out about it.

“Is he a brainless fool?” the company commander fumed, having not slept at all. When Ye Sanshi knocked on the door and brought Wang Ye, the company commander heard the report and immediately erupted in anger.

At that moment, the instructor’s dormitory door swung open, and he appeared with a serious expression. “Why don’t I go? With your bad temper…” Obviously, he had overheard Ye Sanshi’s report.

The captain glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded. “Alright, you go!”

The company commander was aware of his own temper and feared he might lose control if he went. As the company commander, he knew he had to maintain composure. Thus, the instructor took charge and led Ye Sanshi and Wang Ye to the training ground.

Meanwhile, on the track of the training ground, Squad Leader Kong continued to subject the recruits of the Ninth Squad to grueling torture.

“Get up, get up!” he barked at two recruits who were struggling to stand. They had fallen on the track and were finding it difficult to rise.

Squad Leader Kong turned around and kicked one of them, pushing him to get back up. As he kicked, he shouted at the rest of the recruits in the front, “You guys keep running! I told you, you’re going to keep running even if you drop dead until I stop tonight.”

Class 9 was no longer merely running; they were enduring a torturous ordeal. Their feet dragged on the ground, and their lips were parched and pale. They gasped for breath, their eyes losing focus as they continued to trudge forward.

That soldier had really landed them in a hot mess.

Their daily physical training was already challenging with a three-kilometer run, but tonight, they had been pushed to run for a grueling hour. The 9th squad leader didn’t take it easy like Ye Sanshi, who took Qin Li and others for a leisurely walk. He ran alongside them, putting all his strength into it. The memories of this night would stay with them for the rest of their lives. Even in his old age, he would remember that night in the recruit company—the roundness of the moon, the brightness of the stars, and how exhausted he felt…

But the ordeal wasn’t over yet.

Wang Ye, Ye Sanshi, and the instructor approached the training ground from the side, unnoticed by the members of Class 9.

Squad Leader Kong caught a glimpse of them from the corner of his eye, and his heart skipped a beat.

What was happening?

A ridiculous idea crossed his mind at that moment: “Is this Wang Ye the son of the regiment commander?”

The possibility seemed surreal, but he couldn’t shake the thought from his mind. The instructor and Ye Sanshi appeared to be discussing something with Wang Ye, creating a sense of intrigue and anxiety in Squad Leader Kong’s heart.
