"I don't think Gu Han deserves to be the top-ranked Logistics Soldier!"
Someone in the crowd stepped forward, trembling with fear.
Gu Han looked over. The person who had stepped forward was Fang Yan, who had been giving him trouble from the very beginning!
Even a clay figure had a temper!
If he didn't find a chance to kill this petty man who loved jumping around after today,
then Gu Han's name would be written backward!
Fang Yan swallowed nervously. But now that things had come to this, no matter how afraid he was, he could only steel himself and take Gu Han down!
Today, either Gu Han would be doomed—or Fang Yan would die!
There was no third way!
"With strength like Gu Han's, he must have been afraid of getting into danger on the battlefield, so he hid his abilities during yesterday's camp entrance assessment!"
"He must have already reached the Second-tier Martial Apprentice level. Using that strength to fight Logistics Soldiers is completely bullying the weak!"
Fang Yan spoke with righteous conviction, every word ringing out,
"I ask you, Officer, to reassess Gu Han's strength and revoke his place as a Logistics Soldier!"
Qian Fu couldn't help frowning at Fang Yan's words.
If Fang Yan was telling the truth, this could be a serious matter.
At its mildest, it might have been a mistake during the assessment, an incorrect judgment of Gu Han's strength.
Gu Han himself might not have deliberately hidden his strength, which would make the mistake understandable. Starting today, he could simply be reassigned as a War Soldier.
But at its worst, this would be shirking battle and avoiding combat!
That was absolutely intolerable to the military!
"Fang Yan, are you questioning the military's inspectors?"
Before Qian Fu could speak, Gu Han looked at Fang Yan with a cold laugh.
Those words were like a pot slammed straight onto Fang Yan's head!
Fang Yan was instantly horrified. His face filled with panic as he looked at Qian Fu and hurriedly explained,
"Officer, that's not what I meant!"
"I only suspect that Gu Han used some unknown method to evade the inspectors' examination!"
If the inspectors learned that he had questioned their abilities, he'd be in deep trouble even without Gu Han lifting a finger!
Qian Fu frowned. He wasn't particularly concerned about the two men's argument.
Still, he was somewhat curious about Gu Han's strength.
"Gu Han, are you willing to take the assessment again?"
Seeing Gu Han about to speak, Qian Fu continued at once,
"No matter whether the assessment shows you're a First-tier Martial Apprentice or a Second-tier Martial Apprentice, the top spot in this Logistics Soldier assessment is yours."
"However, if you really have reached the Second-tier Martial Apprentice level, you'll have to return to the Warrior Camp and begin training from now on. How does that sound?"
As Qian Fu finished speaking, Fang Yan froze. A moment later, he shouted in shock,
"Officer, have you made a mistake? He cheated his way into the Logistics Camp! How can you not strip him of his first-place reward?"
"Enough!"
Fang Yan hadn't even finished speaking when Qian Fu cut him off.
Suppressing his anger at Fang Yan's repeated provocations, Qian Fu fixed him with a cold stare.
"Do you think everyone else is a fool and you're the only clever one?"
"I know the inspectors' abilities better than you do! I know Gu Han's background better than you do, too!"
"With Gu Han's background, he absolutely couldn't possess a method to evade the inspectors' examination!"
"And even if such a method existed, he wouldn't use it on someone like Gu Han, a First-tier Martial Apprentice!"
Fang Yan's face turned deathly pale. He was about to explain when Qian Fu beckoned, and several law-enforcement soldiers hurried over from a distance.
"Men, take Fang Yan away and lock him up for three days! Disqualify his squad from the Logistics Camp assessment!"
"All the prey hunted over the next month by Fang Yan's squad, as well as the squad of those who just lost to Gu Han, will belong to Gu Han!"
A bet was a bet. Since these people had chosen to gang up on Gu Han and slander him, they had to pay the price they deserved!
Only then could the atmosphere in the military camp be set right,
and similar things be prevented from happening again!
"Sir..."
Fang Yan tried to speak again, but Qian Fu immediately shouted,
"Drag Fang Yan out!"
The law-enforcement soldiers hurried forward, seized Fang Yan, and dragged him away without giving him a chance to speak.
Fang Yan's teammates felt every hair on their bodies stand on end. Sweat poured down their faces, and they wished they could dig a hole and crawl into it!
Gu Chen and the other brothers exchanged excited glances and cupped their fists as they called out,
"Officer, you are wise!"
Although Qian Fu had suspected Gu Han earlier, once the truth came to light, he hadn't chosen to minimize the matter or let it slide.
Instead, he had helped Gu Han make those people honor their earlier bet.
For Qian Fu to do that, he had earned their respect.
Among the many Logistics Soldiers, there were plenty who had eagerly joined in slandering Gu Han earlier. But many others hadn't wanted to join them.
Seeing the guilty punished and Gu Han's name cleared, these people also cheered.
"The officer is wise!"
"People like that deserve a lesson, or they'll keep slandering others without a second thought!"
"That's what they call: the wicked may escape retribution for a while, but their day will come!"
Amid the crowd's cheers, a cook hurried over from a distance and stopped in front of Qian Fu.
"Officer, dinner is ready."
Qian Fu nodded with a smile and ordered everyone to head to camp for their meal.
After a whole day of training, the Logistics Soldiers were already famished. At his command, they eagerly streamed toward the camp in a great rush.
Qian Fu, meanwhile, came over to Gu Han with a genial smile.
"After the meal, someone will come get you for another assessment of your strength. Being a Logistics Soldier is wasting your talents."
That was Qian Fu's sincere opinion.
It was rare for a Logistics Soldier to inspire such genuine appreciation for a promising talent in him.
All because of the decisiveness and composure Gu Han had shown in the fight just now!
Those qualities were invaluable in a War Soldier. They could greatly improve his chances of surviving on the battlefield, even helping him escape death several times over!
By comparison, life as a Logistics Soldier was more stable and involved no great risks—but it would also waste such rare qualities!
To Qian Fu's surprise, however, Gu Han showed no delight at the prospect of becoming a War Soldier.
Instead, he calmly shook his head.
"Thank you for your kindness, Officer, but I don't want to be a War Soldier."
Qian Fu frowned, and his expression unconsciously cooled.
"Are you afraid of going to the battlefield, just as Fang Yan said?"
Although he thought highly of Gu Han's future and believed he would shine as a War Soldier,
he might even surpass Qian Fu one day and become a Legion Commander, or even a Thousand-Man Commander!
It was entirely possible that he might one day become a true general!
But if he was afraid of going to the battlefield and thought only of his own safety,
then even if he joined the battlefield, he would only hold others back and bring harm to himself and everyone around him!
"I'm not afraid of going to the battlefield. I just think being a Logistics Soldier suits me better."
