Chapter 183: The Position Arranged by Master Jue
The vast open-air space was already filled with everything needed for the military exercise, and everyone was making final preparations in an orderly fashion.
In the very center of the crowd stood Li Beijue, giving some instructions.
Today, exceptionally, he was dressed in military uniform, the crane-colored attire making his figure even more straight and commanding, his sculpted features shining even more brilliantly under the sunlight!
He stood there as if the light itself had stopped right there!
Surrounding gazes couldn’t help but be drawn to that spot!
“Miss Chi, your seat is here,” Huo Yi led Enen to the middle of the first row of the viewing platform, and stopped.
Following his indication, Enen’s nerves immediately tensed up!
There was only one vacant spot in the middle of the first row, and the rest were seated with individuals of one-star, one-bar rank. Even without much knowledge of seating arrangements, she knew this position was not for just anyone.
As if reading her thoughts, Huo Yi explained, “Master Jue arranged this seat for you, Miss Chi. Just sit down without worries.”
“Is it really okay for me to sit here?”
“No problem, Miss Chi, please take your seat.”
Thinking of Baby Chi, Enen took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, and walked towards the seat.
“Excuse me, coming through.”
“Excuse me, thank you.”
The ten-meter-long path felt like it took her more than ten minutes to walk, every minute an ordeal. Fortunately, though the people looked at her strangely, they politely made way.
Finally reaching the empty seat in the middle, she pulled out the chair and sat down.
Maybe it was because of the special position, but the chair wasn’t the usual hard wooden type; it was a soft, cushioned one. Sitting down, it was very comfortable.
Seeing her quietly seated, Huo Yi walked toward the center of the field…
Soon, he reached the man at the center of everyone’s attention and whispered something in his ear. The man turned his head sharply, looking in her direction—
Despite the distance, Enen felt as if she was locked in his gaze!
That look was forceful, full of possessiveness!
Li Beijue just glanced at her once before turning back to resume his conversation.
Enen suddenly exhaled in relief, her tensed back relaxing a bit. However, she still sat up straight, like a primary school student in class, hands on her knees, not moving a muscle.
Half an hour later.
All was ready.
With the ceremonial cannon firing, the military exercise officially began!
Enen had thought that as the Commander, Li Beijue would just need to sit indoors and direct the operations, but to her surprise, she saw him personally taking the field in the first counterterrorism drill!
He had changed into explosion-proof clothes, gun in hand, a cold expression on his face, and he led the charge, like a drawn sword, sharp and piercing!
Almost everyone’s eyes involuntarily fell upon him, and Enen was no exception.
The scenario was set up as a terrorist organization hijacking a bus in motion, taking all the passengers and the driver hostage, demanding the military to prepare an airplane or they would blow up everyone on the bus.
But the military first dispatched negotiation experts to stall for time, while simultaneously sending out an elite group for a tactical assault to rescue the hostages.
Enen saw there were six hijackers on the bus, all holding guns and guarding their positions by the car windows. Entering would be harder than reaching the heavens.
At this time, Li Beijue’s team had already approached the bus closely.
His handsome face stern, he gave a gesture. His team immediately went prone on the ground, beginning to crawl forward…. And as the leader, he was the first to go prone at the very front!
