199: I had a vague feeling that this matter was not over yet.

"I'm fine."

Xiao Niannian planned to quietly go into her space later to treat her injuries.

She had two injuries, but their locations made it inconvenient for Lu Jing to treat them.

"Here's some candy for you, take a rest."

Lu Jing pulled out a handful of white rabbit milk candy from his pocket.

Xiao Niannian saw the large handful of white rabbit milk candy in Lu Jing's hand, blinked, and smiled.

She hadn't expected him to carry so much white rabbit milk candy in his pocket.

"Mm."

She had said thank you many times; saying it again would be too formal.

Lu Jing walked towards Instructor Qin.

Xiao Niannian was indeed tired at this point. She took back her backpack and pulled out a pastry to eat.

She had expended a lot of energy today, and not only that, but she had also brushed with danger twice.

As she ate, she looked at her comrades-in-arms. Although a few were injured, fortunately, everyone was alive this time and could return home safely.

Xiao Niannian's gaze turned to the cliff. She had a faint premonition in her heart that this matter wasn't over yet.

Xiao Niannian heard Lu Jing and Instructor Qin talking.

"The enemy had fifty-two people before they set out. We have captured twenty alive, twenty are dead, and twelve are missing..."

Twelve people missing?

Brother Lei and Brother Hu, they were all missing?

Her brows furrowed, and she walked towards the edge of the cliff.

Several monkeys were jumping in the trees not far away.

Xiao Niannian's gaze fell on them.

"Go find that Brother Lei and Brother Hu. If they're alive, have your little companions kill them..."

Xiao Niannian issued the order.

If these two were alive, they would be a ticking time bomb; who knew what might happen in the future.

Their Soldiers had been searching below the cliff for so long and couldn't stay down there indefinitely. Now, several comrades were injured and needed to return quickly. Old Lin and Old Zhou's identities were problematic, and they also needed to return to the hospital for treatment immediately, otherwise, the situation would be very troublesome... The Monkey King immediately accepted the order and left with The Monkeys.

Xiao Niannian held binoculars, looking down the cliff for a long while, but saw no movement.

She guessed that some of the missing people were either swept away by the river.

Or they had sunk to the bottom of the river, and others, if alive, were hiding among the rocks, not daring to show their faces.

The sound of the waterfall was too loud; she couldn't hear any movement now.

At Division Headquarters.

Division Commander Yu received a call, and the person on the other end severely reprimanded him.

"Are you crazy? Lu Jing and his team were on a mission, and you actually assigned Niannian, such a young girl, to it? She's excellent, but she's never been on such a dangerous mission..."

"Chief, you are right to criticize..."

Division Commander Yu listened to the roaring on the phone; he dared not refute a single word.

After the person on the phone finished scolding, he instructed Division Commander Yu not to tell anyone else and to report any news immediately.

"If there's new information, I'll report it immediately..."

After hanging up, Division Commander Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He had actually agreed to this matter. Comrade Xiao Niannian had performed exceptionally well and had already completed two or three missions. Moreover, Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li from the Special Forces Brigade had called him to request her, and Comrade Xiao Niannian herself had applied to participate in this mission... He didn't know how things were going, so he had to quickly call and ask.

Soon, Division Commander Yu called Captain Chen and the others to inquire about the mission.

"Old Chen, how are things on your end now? Have the Experts been rescued?"

Hearing Division Commander Yu's words, Captain Chen spoke with joy on the phone.

"Old Yu, I just received a call; the Experts have been successfully rescued... About ten comrades were injured..."

Hearing this, Division Commander Yu was overjoyed.

Excellent, all comrades are alive; his anxious heart could finally relax.

This time, the Military Unit, Public Security, and State Security launched a joint operation to protect the Experts. Unexpectedly, there was an informant within Public Security, which caused the incident to escalate so severely.

Their Division Headquarters and the Special Forces Brigade were temporarily deployed to rescue the Experts.

If it weren't an extremely significant matter, the Special Forces Brigade would not have been called upon.

The current Special Forces Brigade is like a sharpened blade, striking wherever directed, successfully completing every mission.

In recent years, the Special Forces Brigade has made great progress.

Several elites from their Division Headquarters were also transferred to the Special Forces Brigade.

Division Commander Yu also knew that people like Comrade Xiao Niannian could certainly not be kept in their Division Headquarters. But he hadn't expected the Chief and the others to value this child, Xiao Niannian, so highly... Now, Comrade Xiao Niannian and the comrades from the Special Forces Brigade had rescued four Experts. This time, she would definitely receive a second-class merit.

Adding her previous third-class merit and her contributions on the train, Comrade Xiao Niannian would have one second-class merit and two third-class merits.

She could be directly promoted to officer rank.

She could be directly recommended to a Military Academy. A few days ago, he had received reports from Battalion Commander Han of the Reconnaissance Battalion and Regiment Commander Wang, and Captain Chen of the Special Forces Brigade also said they would recommend Xiao Niannian to study at a Military Academy.

Old Chen and Old Li had long had their eyes on such a promising talent. Although he was filled with reluctance, he also knew that their Division Headquarters couldn't keep such a good prospect.

However, the Division Headquarters' grand competition was coming soon. If Xiao Niannian participated in this competition, she would definitely achieve a good ranking.

Next year, Xiao Niannian should also participate in the all-army competition.

Perhaps she could also win a good ranking for the Division Headquarters. In previous years, their Division Headquarters hadn't even made it into the top three.

The Special Forces Brigade members couldn't participate, only help with training. With their help in training, they had achieved many good rankings, but very rarely won championships... Division Commander Yu became increasingly happy the more he thought about it.

In the county town.

Xiao Yueyue and Second Aunt Xiao returned to their rented house. They hadn't expected that Xiao Niannian reporting them to Public Security would actually get them locked up for three days. If Xu Yang hadn't come to pick them up, they would have remained imprisoned.

"That bitch, who knows who she seduced? Could it be a leader from the Public Security Bureau? If I had known she would turn out like this, I should have pushed her down when she was little..."

Second Aunt Xiao cursed loudly, spewing out all sorts of foul language.

Xiao Yueyue's face was also extremely ugly.

Fortunately, the manager of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative gave her a few days off, otherwise, she would have been absent from work these past few days.

"The Xu Family isn't any good either. They actually didn't save us. Aren't they afraid that if word gets out, it will disgrace the Xu Family?"

Xiao Yueyue also felt her mother was right. Xiao Niannian was too vicious; the Xiao Family had raised her for so many years, yet she repaid their kindness with enmity.

And Xu Yang and his family, they actually let them be detained for three days. Didn't they say the Xu Family was very powerful?
