Jiang Nan glanced at everyone and then spoke quietly, “Captured by Wang Ye!”

He said this to the three soldiers from the opposite three-company inside the cabin.

The three soldiers from the opposite three-company had no words, but they had nothing to say.

Because they were indeed captured by Wang Ye.

Moreover, they were not the company commander, so they had no right to argue with Jiang Nan.

After checking it in his hand and confirming that there was no damage, he looked at Wang Ye and said, “This time, 1’11 give you a great credit. When you get back, the leave you mentioned earlier can be arranged as soon as tomorrow!”

Wang Ye looked at him and said in a low voice, “Can it be arranged for tonight? I want to go to the hospital!”

He knew that as soon as their mission was over they had been takenYan Zhiming away on the plane.

Jiang Nan turned his head again and locked eyes with Wang Ye.

“Company Commander, 1 really am fine. Look, I haven’t even vomited. Just like you said, killing one to save ten or a hundred, I really have no psychological burden now, no need for psychological treatment!”

“Alright, I’ll personally take you there later!”

Jiang Nan agreed in the end.

Mainly, there was nothing else to do today.

Facing the adversarial exercise, because of this incident, it was definitely impossible to continue.

And now, their seven-man team returned to the camp ahead of the reconnaissance battalion, who would surely return late at night.

After they got back, it wouldn’t hurt to take Wang Ye to the hospital.

After all, the division headquarters wasn’t far from the division-affiliated hospital.

“Thank you, Company Commander!”

Wang Ye expressed his gratitude. The others watched this scene and had originally wanted to discuss the thermal imaging device or even ask Jiang Nan to lend it to them for a closer look. However, it wasn’t the right time to bring it up now.

Inside the cabin, the atmosphere was a bit tense.

Wang Ye turned to look out the window.

Yan Zhiming was probably still in the air now, and the plane wouldn’t reach the hospital that quickly. After all, when he disembarked earlier, Yan Zhiming was still receiving emergency treatment.

Hopefully, he would be safe.

He was Wang Ye’s fellow villager, classmate, and also a comrade in the same platoon in the new recruit company. Wang Ye sincerely didn’t want anything to happen to him.

“Whoosh-”

The helicopter flew by from the sky.

It was a little past 7 o’clock in the evening, and the helicopter landed directly on a training field at the division headquarters.

Below, the division commander personally led a group of people to welcome them.

“Comrades, you are heroes, living up to the title of a soldier. You’ve all done exceptionally well!”

The helicopter had already taken off again.

Wang Ye and his seven-man team stood in formation, listening to the division commander praising them loudly.

Soon after, several female soldiers from the staff department came out.

Each of them held a large red flower.

It had to be said that after this gesture, even those soldiers who might have felt uncomfortable inside suddenly felt much better. A strong sense of pride welled up within them.

Looking at the seven soldiers with the big red flowers on their chests, the division commander spoke again, “A soldier’s duty is to engage the enemy, it’s both a mission and an honor. You’ve eliminated criminals who deserved nothing less than death.

Comrades, remember, you’ve done nothing wrong, and you are not executioners. You are heroes and heroes of merit!”

The fact that the division commander personally received them and gave them these red flowers was beyond what Wang Ye and his team had expected.

However, soon Wang Ye began to suspect the division commander’s motive for coming to greet them.

After finishing his speech, the division commander let Wang Ye and the others disperse and return. But strangely, he stopped Jiang Nan.

Then, as Wang Ye walked about twenty or thirty meters away, he turned back to see Jiang Nan handing over the thermal imager that Wang Ye had given him to the division commander.

Was the division commander here to welcome them, or was he here to collect the thermal imager?

Wang Ye had his doubts, but for now, he couldn’t ask.

“I didn’t expect that our group, going into the mountains for the exercise together, would end up taking the plane back together,” separated from the rest of the Third Company, the cook squad leader suddenly looked at Wang Ye and Jiang Nan, smiling as he spoke.

“How about coming over to my place? There’s no one there right now, and I’ve got some liquor. We can have a couple of drinks!”

Indeed, among the eight members of the Second Company this time, there were two groups that had eliminated the criminals: Wang Ye and the clerk, as well as Jiang Nan and the cook squad leader.

This was a moment of triumph for them.

Before this, they had been sent out early by the special forces.

Right now, their condition was still pretty good.

At least they hadn’t vomited like the clerk. The two pilots flying the plane back now were probably cursing up a storm in the sky.

Pity them for having to clean up the mess on the plane…

“Sounds good!” The clerk immediately smiled.

Although his face still showed signs of weakness from his illness, the thought of having some alcohol made him excited right away.

“Wang Ye!” the cook squad leader looked at Wang Ye.

“Sure!” Wang Ye had something on his mind and couldn’t muster a smile right now. But since Jiang Nan hadn’t returned yet, he couldn’t go even if he wanted to. So when the cook squad leader extended the invitation, he didn’t dampen their enthusiasm.

“All right, let’s go quickly!” the cook squad leader urged.

Soon, they arrived at the cafeteria, and the cook squad leader didn’t prepare much food, just a plate of peanuts and two bottles of white liquor.

To be honest, Wang Ye was a bit hesitant.

He had initially thought they would be having beer, so he was surprised when the cook squad leader brought out white liquor instead.

“I knew you guys would be here. Seriously, you didn’t even give me a heads-up. What’s the deal, cooking up something behind my back?” Just as they were about to start eating, Jiang Nan walked in, smiling.

The division commander didn’t keep him for long, just took the thermal imager, chatted briefly, and then let him come back.

“Haha, we haven’t started eating yet. Come on, Company Commander, I’ll pour for you!” The cook squad leader had prepared four glasses knowing that Jiang Nan would probably join them.

However, at this moment, Wang Ye hesitated for a moment and then said, “1 think 1’11 pass on the alcohol today. Maybe another time, I’ll treat you guys. 1 don’t want to drink today because it might not be safe to drive after drinking, and I want to visit the hospital!”

Seeing the white liquor, Wang Ye had second thoughts. Beer was fine since it wouldn’t get him drunk, but white liquor was a different story. He didn’t want to risk getting intoxicated. As someone who had been given a second chance in life, Wang Ye had decided not to indulge himself in this lifetime. Moreover, he really wanted to go see Yan Zhiming now.

“This…” the cook squad leader looked at Wang Ye and then at Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan checked his watch and said, “It’s still early. Sure, I’ll take you to the hospital first. You two can have a drink, and I’ll join you after 1 take Wang Ye to the hospital.”

“Company Commander, why don’t 1 go by myself? 1 know where the hospital is, and I can drive!” Wang Ye suggested.

However, Jiang Nan responded firmly, “What are you thinking? Today is different from other days. At this time, you can only go if I take you. Do you understand?”

Wang Ye was taken aback, but then he understood what Jiang Nan meant.

The lingering effects of war couldn’t be taken lightly. It was better to be cautious.

“Alright, thanks, Company Commander!”

“No problem, I’ll go get the car!”

Jiang Nan, who had just walked in and hadn’t even sat down yet, left again.

“Sorry, both squad leaders, I’m ruining the mood today. How about we do this another time? 1’11 treat you guys tomorrow night!”

“Sure!” the cook squad leader nodded with a smile.

The clerk also said, “It’s okay, it’s still early today. If you come back early later in the evening, we can continue. Of course, apologies don’t mean anything. When you come back, just drink three cups as a penalty!”

“Alright!” Wang Ye smiled.

Even though he was afraid of getting drunk from three cups of white liquor, he had to agree for now, even if it meant cheating a little..
