Chapter 16: Chapter 17: Wolf Fang Doesn't Accept Soldiers Through Connections
In the evening, Sun Nan, filled with anticipation, hurriedly rushed to the Military Headquarters General Hospital, tightly holding a fruit basket prepared for Ge Rongbin in his hand. He was eager to see Ge Rongbin, thinking about how to comfort this old platoon leader who had lost both legs and one hand, imagining the scene when they met, with mixed feelings in his heart.
However, when he arrived at the nurse's station to ask about Ge Rongbin's ward, the nurse's reply stunned him like a bolt from the blue - Ge Rongbin had been discharged from the hospital the day before. Sun Nan's mouth opened wide in astonishment. He never expected this and hurriedly asked where he went. The nurse informed him that Ge Rongbin was picked up and taken home by his parents and a girl. Sun Nan turned away listlessly, his heart empty. He was full of worry about Ge Rongbin's situation and felt it was rather sudden, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Not long after leaving the hospital, a car suddenly stopped in front of him. The car window rolled down, and it was actually He Zhijun. He Zhijun smiled and asked Sun Nan to get in the car. Sun Nan was full of doubts but could only do as told. In the car, He Zhijun seemed to see through Sun Nan's thoughts and straightforwardly asked him to give up the idea of visiting Ge Rongbin's home. Sun Nan didn't understand. He Zhijun seriously explained that Ge Rongbin was an extremely strong-willed person. He left the hospital early because he didn't want familiar people to see him like this now, didn't want to be pitied, and didn't want to be a burden in others' eyes. He needed time to adjust himself. After hearing this, although Sun Nan was full of helplessness, he also understood Ge Rongbin's choice.
Soon after, Sun Nan recovered from his injuries and was discharged from the hospital, successfully joining the Wolf Fang Special Operations Brigade. But as soon as he arrived at Wolf Fang, he encountered doubts. Old Gao of the Dog Head led the opposition against him, believing that Sun Nan entered Wolf Fang without going through the selection process, which was through connections and broke the rules. Other team members also echoed, hostile towards Sun Nan.
Facing everyone's doubts, Sun Nan was calm. He understood everyone's thoughts. However, He Zhijun had other plans in mind. He knew Sun Nan's strength well. The reason he let him join directly was because of Sun Nan's outstanding performance on the snow mountain. But he also understood that a direct explanation would be hard to convince everyone. It was just a good opportunity to let Sun Nan show his ability. Thus, a test aimed at Sun Nan quietly kicked off, and whether Sun Nan could prove himself in this test and win the recognition of the team members became a difficult problem in front of him.
