The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 189

Chapter 189: Chapter 189

"Boasting, huh? There are plenty of tough guys in the army, and you still dare to say that."

"Heh heh, don’t provoke me. I dare say, even now, not to mention in the future, there are no more than two people who can beat him."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately felt in their hearts, "Oh boy, this is bad."

Sure enough, the man known as Jiang Laopao, a tall and burly general, immediately looked displeased, and accompanying him was Gao Meng, known as the Northeast Tiger from Changbai Mountain and the number one tough guy.

Gao Meng lived up to his name, tall and formidable. Before joining the army, he was a hunter in Changbai Mountain, roaming the mountains all day, the kind of freak who could stride effortlessly while carrying a 200-pound wild boar. After joining the army, he was promoted three ranks within a year. If it weren’t for entering the Reconnaissance Company where there was limited room for promotion, he might have become a high-ranking officer at the Captain Level by now. Later, he was poached by Jiang Dacheng to be his bodyguard.

The relationship between a leader and his bodyguard is very delicate; If there’s a significant age difference, over time, a bond like father and son can develop. Now, hearing Gu Canghai boast so unashamedly about Shen Jingwei right in front of him, that cannon-like temper of his naturally flared up.

"Hmph, such big talk! If you want to say that to someone else, I don’t care, but today you said it in front of me, and I’m not convinced."

"What’s there for you not to be convinced by? If you dare, come and measure up against him. Pfft, I don’t even need him to deal with you; I alone am enough."

"Oh my, come on then, I’d like to see if you old geezer still dare to pull a knife on me."

"Bring it on!"

The staff officers quickly stepped forward to break it up. One said, "General, General, let it go, let it go." Another said, "General, General, peace is most precious."

If they really started fighting, it would be something. All are generals; how could they lose face in front of the soldiers, not to mention that there might be a Foreign Army watching with binoculars at this very moment. Getting wind of this would not look or sound good. This was no secret; their side had even arranged for a dedicated military satellite for reconnaissance of the area.

The two old guys were separated, and Jiang Laopao, huffing and puffing, waved his hand, and the accompanying bodyguard ran up a few steps, came forward, stood at attention, and saluted, then stood aside.

Gu Canghai looked helplessly at this old geezer but did not speak. This man had the stubbornness of a mule. Once he made up his mind, not even eight horses could pull him back. However, seeing Jiang Laopao’s "I am the number one in the world" demeanor, the fighting spirit in Gu Canghai’s bones also surged, waving over Shen Jingwei, "Come here!"

Everyone shook their heads at the behavior of these two old guys.

The military exercise would only start the day after tomorrow, all the troops stationed here were elites, or else the general headquarters would not be set here. There were many people around, and those who liked to join in the fun were even more numerous.

The base was a military installation, with all the necessary military facilities available, which made the competition between Shen Jingwei and the other more convenient. Contrary to the worries of the counsellors and political commissars, the surrounding soldiers were excited to witness the competition between the Northeast Tiger and Alpha Captain, who famously captured Russia’s ace Special Forces leader – it was more thrilling than eating braised pork.

The biggest appetizer before dinner was about to begin.

The 400-meter obstacle run, a must-do for all military personnel.

On the competition field, two figures stood, one large and one small. The larger was Gao Meng, broad-backed and robust, a man whose spine seemed to hold up half of the Northeast Army. The smaller was Shen Jingwei, the man who had captured the ace special forces Alpha Captain alive.

This was a showdown between tigers, leopards, and wolves.

There was no one on the observation deck by the field; the position was too prominent. Considering the special nature of the current situation, they did not let the generals stand there; instead, like everyone else, they stood by the field. Behind the two leaders followed many staff officers and political commissars, as well as eager soldiers.

Since there was still some time before mealtime, and there was nothing else to do, all the idle soldiers rushed over to watch the two compete. Some cooks holding ladles came to join the excitement but were dragged back by the ear by the kitchen sergeants. After the brothers had been busy all day, if you’re not cooking and instead watching the fun, do you think you’ve become skilled?

The contrast between the two men was too stark; everyone thought the match was a foregone conclusion, even a little bullying. Gao Meng was too well-known, and in the entire Northeast Army, there was nobody who did not recognize him. His Combat Power was definitely over a hundred. He had received First-class Merit twice, Third-class Merit three times, and leading the most elite Northeast Tiger special unit, he had won two collective Second-class Merits in several group army competitions.

What’s the concept of achieving First-class Merit? Unless you are disabled or a Dead Man, you hardly ever get the chance to obtain it.

No one believed a young calf could truly win against the tiger and leopard-like Gao Meng.

Really tall! Shen Jingwei looked up at the towering figure before him, sighing inwardly. When he first saw Zhang Houtu, his heart instinctively felt a touch of awe—as large figures always provide a stunning impression. This guy looked even taller and more robust than Zhang Houtu. Shen Jingwei believed that beneath the camouflage uniform hid muscles bursting with explosive power.

"I’m Gao Meng."

"Shen Jingwei."

Looking at this small-statured but wolf-eyed youngster, Gao Meng felt no particular emotions. Frankly, he wasn’t impressed by this special forces soldier who could capture a member of the Foreign Army. It may be an exercise now, but if it were a real battlefield where bayonets clashed, no one could be sure what might happen. Besides, he heard that this kid had played some tricks.

"The Alpha Captain must be tough to capture."

"It was the brothers nearby who helped out. Just me alone, that would be tough."

Gao Meng began to see this youngster in front of him in a new light. Someone who could tell the truth like that certainly wasn’t so simple and fragile inside.

Not wanting to waste words, Gao Meng pointed to the obstacle course not far away and said, "400-meter obstacle run. No problem, right?"

"No problem."

"Hmm."

Gao Meng nodded and walked to the starting line of the 400-meter obstacle course. He pulled off his military cap and threw it aside. "Secretary Bai!"

"Present!"

A soldier in combat uniform jogged out from the crowd, marched up to Gao Meng, saluted, and stood at attention, shouting, "Command from the company leader, please!"

It seems this was an old subordinate of Gao Meng’s.

"You give the start signal."

"Yes!"

The 400-meter obstacle record in the Armed Police Corps was set by a member of the Snow Leopard Assault Team at one minute and twenty-six seconds, while the field units’ record was at one minute and eighteen seconds by Zhang Houtu. The record in the Northeast Army was held by Gao Meng at one minute and twenty seconds, just behind the other record.
