Free Web NovelChapter 302: Chapter 302: Yang Tianxiong’s Recognition _1
After being cornered, the members of Tiger Team finally compromised.
Today, after meeting Ye Ming, they admitted defeat and gave up any resistance.
Li Xuanzhi and Park Zhengmeng, the two core members of the team, came out of the car with drooping heads and said to Falcon Squad, "We lost, we accept it!"
Their faces were flushed as they reluctantly said, "We should not have insulted you, we were wrong!" freewebnøvel.coɱ
Before Ye Ming could speak, Yang Tianxiong stepped in front of him and said to the members of Tiger Team, "We agreed it was to be a harmonious sparring, to stop at where it should, and not hurting feelings is most important!"
"You’ve come a long way, and I haven’t yet fulfilled the duties of a host. Why don’t you stay for a simple meal before leaving?"
Yang Tianxiong, fearing Ye Ming would continue to make it difficult for the other side, stood up to mediate.
Ye Ming had already made them suffer, teaching them a lesson they deserved. As for the rest of the punishment, it would be waived; otherwise, it could really affect the relationship between the two countries.
Li Xuanzhi, with a face as dark as iron, suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Minister Yang, there’s no need for a meal. I can see you lack sincerity! I will remember today’s events, and now we part ways!"
"One year from now, at the International Special Forces Exchange Competition, we will meet again, and I will not show mercy. I will make my team even stronger and crush you underfoot."
The angrier he got, the happier Yang Tianxiong became; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
Yang Tianxiong said, "Don’t worry, we will certainly meet again then. I hope you won’t be like this time, acting like turtles tucking in their heads!"
After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Tiger Team drove around Ye Ming and left.
Once the matter was settled, only a few people remained on the scene.
Yang Tianxiong couldn’t stop smiling, continuously patting Ye Ming on the shoulder and saying, "Instructor Ye, you really gave me a big surprise today. You’ve shown me that there’s always new talent ready to step up!"
"Minister Yang, you’re really too kind!" Ye Ming said modestly.
The Yang Tianxiong before him represented the upper echelons of Yanjing Martial Department, and he dared not disregard this.
Yang Tianxiong nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Going forward, you cannot relax, as there are many challenges waiting for you. Don’t let me down!"
"If you find the current field camp unsuitable, feel free to raise it with me anytime!"
After instructing them on these matters, Yang Tianxiong also took his leave in a hurry.
Once they were gone, Wang Yating came to Ye Ming’s side, her eyes brimming with emotion as she looked at him and said, "We owe you a lot today; otherwise, we wouldn’t have known what to do."
"And, I need to thank you for stepping in just now."
She didn’t know why, but as she spoke to Ye Ming, her face turned slightly red and her heartbeat rapidly increased. This strange feeling puzzled her.
Could this be what it feels like to have a crush?
Wang Yating recalled the time spent together, with Ye Ming surprising her again and again, each encounter stirring her emotions greatly.
Through these exchanges, Wang Yating found herself unable to extricate from her feelings; her monotone military life began showing some color only after Ye Ming’s arrival.
She had never experienced such a marvelous sensation before.
Moreover, Ye Ming’s heroic intervention earlier, rescuing her from a dire situation, was deeply etched into Wang Yating’s heart.
"There’s no need for thanks," Ye Ming quickly asked, "Can I now truly become the Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad?"
Wang Yating didn’t quite understand why he would ask that, but she nodded and said earnestly, "Of course, you already are."
"Good, then shouldn’t we also talk about the engagement?" Ye Ming asked seriously.
Wang Yating’s face turned red instantly. She didn’t expect Ye Ming to ask so bluntly.
He must have fallen for her during these days of interaction, and he couldn’t wait any longer, right?
Thinking this, Wang Yating’s face got even redder.
Suddenly, she heard the team members whispering among themselves.
Looking up, she saw the Falcon Squad members watching her with a very ambiguous gaze.
"What’s there to stare at? Haven’t you seen such a thing before?" Wang Yating glared at them with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.
Razor quickly laughed it off, scratching his head and turning to leave: "I got a bit hungry after exercising, need to replenish some energy!"
The other team members also quickly followed suit.
"I just remembered there are things to do!"
"I haven’t done my training today, I need to hurry."
The Falcon Squad members dispersed, heading towards the camp, but Xu Xincheng went in the opposite direction, his face full of anger, intending to question Ye Ming.
"Ye Ming, you this..."
But before he could take two steps, Razor had already come over, grabbed the hem of his clothing, and said, "Xu Xincheng, go train with me right now, and don’t disturb the captain and the instructor!"
"Squad Leader, that’s not what I mean!" Xu Xincheng struggled urgently, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free from Razor’s grip.
"Xin Cheng, don’t be like this. Why are you interfering with the little couple’s business?"
"I know you’re interested in our captain, but the captain’s taken. Don’t you be a third wheel!" Another team member came over and helped Razor subdue Xu Xincheng.
The two of them dragged Xu Xincheng away.
Watching the team members’ horseplay, Wang Yating smiled and also asked Ye Ming, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Ye Ming said solemnly, "Previously we agreed that if I could gain your recognition, gain the Falcon Squad’s recognition, the engagement could be annulled!"
"Given the current situation, I should qualify, right?"
Wang Yating’s smile froze on her face.
She felt as if her heart had been punched, leaving her feeling breathless.
Her self-confidence completely collapsed at that moment, and she stood there dumbstruck, not saying a word for a long time.
Ye Ming continued, "A gentleman’s agreement is swift as a horse’s lash. That was your own condition, that if I could prove my strength and take on the position of Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad, we could call off our engagement!"
"Now neither the team members nor you have any objections, and even Minister Yang acknowledges me as Chief Instructor. I think it’s time we could call off this engagement."
Seeing that Wang Yating still didn’t respond, Ye Ming got straight to the point, "I sincerely want to call off our engagement, not to waste your prime years. What does your silence mean? Can you give me a direct answer?"
"Enough, stop talking!" Wang Yating bit her lip hard, her words tinged with a hint of anger.
