This Kid Really Wasn't Nervous

"Get in the car." Chen Shan Ming spoke irritably.

Jiang Yan Hai immediately jumped into the vehicle. Chen Shan Ming sped up, and before long, they stopped inside a major office building. Once they entered, Jiang Yan Hai showed no unusual expression, but inwardly, he was somewhat surprised.

The place looked ordinary from the outside, but the sentry posts inside made it clear that this was an extremely important location.

Moreover, from his careful observation, the building's surveillance coverage had virtually no blind spots.

After passing through four sentry posts, the two finally pushed open the door to a hall. The moment he entered the somewhat dim hall, Jiang Yan Hai nodded slightly. He knew where they were.

The military district's Information Warfare command hall—or rather, once an actual war began, this would probably be the true command center.

More importantly, once they entered, Jiang Yan Hai saw a group of people standing there. Four of them had gold stars on their shoulders: two with two gold stars and two with one. There were also several Senior Colonels with two bars and four stars, two rough stripes and four large stars.

There were even more Colonels and the like. Fan Tian Lei and Master Kang were among them.

Chen Shan Ming led Jiang Yan Hai toward them with a teasing look. He wanted to see whether this guy was actually nervous. Honestly, even he felt a little nervous in the face of such a lineup.

"Reporting! Private Jiang Yan Hai has been brought here." Reaching the group, Chen Shan Ming immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Good. Well done." The speaker was a somewhat overweight elderly man wearing a cap—the Blue Army's overall commander from the previous exercise.

"Hello, Commander." Jiang Yan Hai also gave a military salute.

"Mm, not bad. You look very spirited. You're Jiang Yan Hai?" The old man smiled first, then asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, Commander!" Jiang Yan Hai replied.

"So you're the one who infiltrated my military system?" Lieutenant General Gao Shi Wei, commander of the Blue Army, asked coldly.

"Yes!" Jiang Yan Hai's voice remained loud and clear.

"Kid, you've got some nerve." General Gao Shi Wei looked at Jiang Yan Hai and narrowed his eyes, seemingly revealing a trace of killing intent.

It had to be said that these old generals carried tremendous presence. Even someone like Fan Tian Lei felt intimidated, but Jiang Yan Hai... well, he truly wasn't nervous.

"Reporting, Commander, I don't understand." Jiang Yan Hai said.

"What is there not to understand? You damaged my military system, yet you still have the nerve to stand here so righteously?" General Gao Shi Wei asked in return.

"You came here to praise me, Commander. Of course I should be righteous about it." Jiang Yan Hai smiled.

Chen Shan Ming, standing behind him, was speechless. This kid really wasn't afraid? Did this count as a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger?

"Jiang Yan Hai, is that any way to speak to a Commander?" Master Kang, standing behind them, felt a little panicked. You little bastard, couldn't you just answer the questions properly at a time like this?

"Don't interrupt." General Gao Shi Wei turned and glared at Master Kang.

"Yes." What else could Master Kang say? He obediently shut up.

"How did you know I came to praise you rather than question and punish you?" General Gao Shi Wei looked at Jiang Yan Hai again and asked with a smile.

"If it were really the latter, I don't think a mere Private like me would be worth having four generals and more than a dozen Senior Colonels and Colonels waiting here together to punish me." Jiang Yan Hai smiled.

Chen Shan Ming, Fan Tian Lei, and the others were all speechless. This kid really had guts. He wasn't scared at all?

"Good! You've got courage. You're right—we did come to praise you. If you perform well today, I can tell you right now that I'll apply for an individual First Class Merit award for you." General Gao Shi Wei said solemnly.

"Thank you, Commander. I didn't expect to earn a First Class Merit award after enlisting for such a short time." Jiang Yan Hai immediately smiled.

At that moment, Fan Tian Lei, Master Kang, and the others all had the urge to strangle the kid. Could you stop sounding so arrogant? It was like he thought the award was already his.

Or did he think a First Class Merit award was so easy to earn?

"Not bad. I like confident people. From now on, us old fellows will only bring our ears, not our mouths. The military district's information department will ask you about the details next. Answer truthfully." General Gao Shi Wei smiled and spoke directly.

"Yes, Commander!" Jiang Yan Hai immediately turned serious and gave a military salute.

"Come, let's all take our seats." General Gao Shi Wei made an inviting gesture and led the way to the seats behind them. All the Senior Colonels, Colonels, and several generals took their seats as well.

Then someone stepped forward. Jiang Yan Hai had never met her, but he immediately guessed who she was: a beautiful captain who could appear here—she had to be Tang Xin Yi.

Everyone here only somewhat resembled their original actors from the television drama; they were not exactly the same. Tang Xin Yi was even prettier than in the show, mainly because she naturally possessed a heroic air.

Tang Xin Yi first saluted all the Commanders. Then General Gao Shi Wei said, "Little Tang, you may begin. We'll leave the rest to you professionals."

"Yes, Commander." Tang Xin Yi immediately saluted. Only then did she take a deep breath and turn toward Jiang Yan Hai.

She got straight to the point. "Jiang Yan Hai, how did you evade our anti-sniper, anti-infiltration satellite reconnaissance system? And you apparently didn't use a technique like He Chen Guang's, using mud to conceal yourself."

Tang Xin Yi had been holding that question in for a long time.

"It was very simple." Jiang Yan Hai smiled faintly and spoke.

The instant those words came out, Fan Tian Lei over there had the urge to cover his face. He had already learned in detail from Gong Jian about this kid's previous training with Fourth Company. This had practically become the kid's catchphrase.

"Simple? How did you deceive the satellite? That's impossible." Tang Xin Yi froze for a moment, then quickly asked.

"I didn't deceive the satellite. But I deceived you. Satellite data has to be transmitted, and only after transmission can you see it. I just had to stop you from seeing it, didn't I?" Jiang Yan Hai said with a smile.

Tang Xin Yi immediately understood. "You mean you infiltrated the Blue Army's command system, then hid your location within the command system so we couldn't see you?"

"Yes, Commander." Jiang Yan Hai answered seriously.

"How did you infiltrate the Blue Army's command system?" Tang Xin Yi looked deeply at Jiang Yan Hai, then asked the most critical question—the one every important figure here wanted answered.
