Chapter 791: Major General 0791 Identity! (Third Update)

"If you all are going to be so excessive, I see no point in this reunion." Seeing her classmates look down on Ye Qiu like this, Lin Qiao’er couldn’t stand it and abruptly stood up, about to leave.

Huang Dalong quickly explained, "Lin Qiao’er, it’s just a joke, don’t mind it, we didn’t mean to mock your boyfriend." Then he turned to Ye Qiu, "Brother, I’m sorry, we really didn’t mean it, I hope you won’t take it to heart."

Seeing Huang Dalong apologize to Ye Qiu, Lin Qiao’er felt somewhat pacified. These classmates were no longer the innocent ones from back then; now they had grown more power-hungry and were even willing to flatter others by mocking someone else.

In Lin Qiao’er’s heart, there was nothing endearing about this class reunion anymore. She realized that it was Xu Shaohua who organized this, and he had specifically disclosed that Ye Qiu was a security guard and a folk doctor, just to humiliate Ye Qiu in public.

Although Ye Qiu was her fake boyfriend, they were ostensibly real lovers, and by acting this way, the classmates were not just looking down on Ye Qiu but disregarding her as well.

The atmosphere turned awkward for a moment until a male classmate came forward, took three penalty drinks, and started telling jokes to diffuse the situation.

The crowd resumed chatting about various topics, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, everyone naturally gravitated towards talking to Xu Shaohua and Lin Qiao’er, suggesting through their words how well-matched the two were.

Especially while discussing current affairs and economic issues, everyone expressed their own differing opinions. Ye Qiu alone was eating and drinking leisurely. Lin Qiao’er gestured to Ye Qiu a few times, suggesting they leave soon.

However, Ye Qiu acted as if he hadn’t seen her signals and ignored them, infuriating Lin Qiao’er who inwardly cursed him for being thick-headed, as it was clear they wanted to humiliate him and yet he still stayed.

Ye Qiu, of course, had his own thoughts. Xu Shaohua had arranged this class reunion merely to make him lose face in front of Lin Qiao’er, intending to highlight himself by contrast.

Though since entering here, Xu Shaohua hadn’t targeted him directly, the behavior and speech of the others hinted at Xu Shaohua’s influence behind the scenes.

If he were to leave today, Xu Shaohua wouldn’t let it go and would definitely find other ways to get at him. So Ye Qiu decided to just sit there and see how Xu Shaohua wanted to play this out. He, Ye Qiu, was ready to face whatever came his way today.

Facing a super-strong warrior of ancient times meant to flee was to escape without shame, but as a legendary master himself, to run from a mere wealthy second-generation with some influence in this mundane world would be inappropriate.

No matter Ye Qiu’s inner resolve or his martial arts mastery, neither allowed him to just walk away.

However, Lin Qiao’er was unaware of what Ye Qiu was thinking. Ye Qiu’s martial skills were formidable, but that didn’t necessarily mean he had the capability to stand up against Xu Shaohua.

In her mind, this world belonged to those with immense economic power. Although she wasn’t materialistic, she couldn’t deny that when someone’s wealth reached a certain level, it could control the life paths of others.

Ye Qiu’s strength was significant, but it wasn’t comparable to that of major financial tycoons. After all, this was modern society, not ancient times.

Harsh as it sounds, no matter how skilled in martial arts one is, they still fear the knife, especially if a nation decides to target an individual — it can simply be resolved by the press of a button.

Of course, unless there is someone who can withstand all kinds of ammunition without harm, but do such people even exist? Even if they do, they’re not human, but gods.

And this world is without gods; gods are nothing more than a belief of the people.

Lin Qiao’er’s thoughts were complicated as she quietly sipped her water.

As people chatted, the topic shifted to another male classmate who was doing quite well.

"Li Yang, I heard that you joined the military after graduation. What’s your rank now?"

"Just a platoon leader," Li Yang replied casually.

"What, you’ve been promoted to platoon leader at such a young age?" someone exclaimed, even Lin Qiao’er showed a look of surprise.

Having been at the police academy and trained in the military, Lin Qiao’er knew that becoming a platoon leader at Li Yang’s age was rare. If he performed well, his future would be boundless.

It was a respectable profession, and many female classmates turned their attention to Li Yang. Judging by his current trajectory, he might not lag behind Xu Shaohua in the future. If he were to become a regiment or division leader, his rise would indeed be meteoric, and his wife would also be a national heroine.

By then, his status would far surpass that of a businessman.

Although many single female classmates kept glancing at Li Yang, sending him flirty looks, Li Yang hardly noticed, as if he were Tang Sanzang, who was indifferent to feminine allure.

Seeing everyone’s attention shift to Li Yang, now the second center of focus, Xu Shaohua felt uncomfortable but had to force a smile. After all, it wasn’t easy for the Xu family to confront a military officer. It was better to maintain a good relationship with Li Yang.

Hearing the compliments of others, Li Yang finally gave a wry smile, "Do you think my promotion to platoon leader was fast?"

"Li Yang, isn’t this fast? What do you consider fast, then? You’re so young and already a platoon leader. You know, some people spend their whole lives just being soldiers," Huang Dalong said, his eyes filled with envy, though he disliked military life, otherwise he would have slimmed down long ago.

Li Yang sighed and then whispered, "There are no outsiders here today, just old classmates, so I might as well tell you a secret."

"Oh?" As soon as they heard it was a secret, many people crowded closer, very curious.

Li Yang said, "The speed of my promotion compared to that person’s is like heaven and earth."

That person? Who is that?

"This matter isn’t easily disclosed in the military, you probably don’t know that our Huaxia has gained another general," Li Yang said, a look of admiration in his eyes as he mentioned the general.

"General?" Many people shook their heads.

"This general made great contributions to the country and was directly promoted to general rank. Most importantly, this person is said to be under twenty-five years old. Tell me, when compared to him, how slow is my promotion?" Li Yang said with a bitter smile.

The others were stunned, a general under twenty-five years old, who was this person? It was too incredible, even Lin Qiao’er was utterly shocked, she had never heard of such a young general, and there had never been one in Huaxia’s history.

"Very few people know the identity of this general, and my rank isn’t high enough to have access to that information. I’m sure this general will definitely be a top figure in Huaxia in the future, or perhaps, he already stands at the pinnacle of Huaxia," he said.

After all, there aren’t many ranks above a general!

In the midst of everyone’s astonishment, Ye Qiu’s lips curled into a slight smile, and he mused to himself, "The latest exceptionally promoted general... seems like they’re talking about me."
