In the morning, a ray of sunlight streamed in through the narrow window, illuminating the previously dark room.

A ten-centimeter window, walls and doors made of steel plates, a bed piled up with concrete, 360-degree blind spot monitoring...

This is a special room, to be precise, a cell in a military prison in country Y.

In the cell, Xiao Ye lay on the ground, one hand behind his back and the other pushing himself up from the ground doing push-ups at an extremely fast pace.

Borrowing the light of dawn, one could clearly see that he possessed a standard Chinese character face, symmetrical and well-proportioned, with sharp edges that spoke of his tenacity.

He had a physique as strong as an ox, his black training vest bulging with explosive power.

At this moment, whether it was the black undershirt he wore or the camouflage fatigues underneath, both were soaked in sweat. Only his special forces uniform on the concrete bed remained dry.

The special operations uniform was folded neatly, with a small five-starred red flag embroidered on it. The flag had been stained with many traces, which were now dry, but still very eye-catching in the morning light.

That is the enemy's trace, and also his memory of battle!

Xiao Ye is a Chinese special forces soldier. He was transferred to the peacekeeping force half a month ago and came to country Y in Africa to carry out peacekeeping missions.

Five days ago, he participated in a battle.

In that battle, he relied on his strong individual combat skills and adaptability to kill several terrorists. He successfully rescued all 231 hostages. He should be a hero, but now he is imprisoned in a military base prison in country Y!

Suddenly——

Xiao Ye's work came to a stop.

He heard footsteps approaching from afar, someone walking towards the cell.

"Beep..."

Soon, with a light creak, the heavy steel door swung open, and a middle-aged man appeared before Xiao Ye.

A middle-aged man dressed in a Chinese military uniform, his epaulet embroidered with a golden star, a symbol of his rank!

"Hello, leader!"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Xiao Ye first paused slightly, then immediately brought his feet together, raised his head, and bowed to the middle-aged man in greeting.

The middle-aged man surnamed Chen and given name Yonggang is the leader of Xiao Ye's unit.

"I want to have a conversation with my soldiers, please turn off the surveillance, thank you."

Chen Yonggang did not respond to Xiao Ye, but turned his head to a black soldier behind him and said.

Okay, long.

The black soldier nodded, then immediately notified the monitoring personnel via radio to turn off the surveillance equipment for that cell.

"That's tough."

When the Black soldier left, Chen Yonggang walked into the cell and looked apologetically at Xiao Ye.

"Reporting to my superior, this amount of hardship is nothing for any Han Chinese soldier. But I feel frustrated!" Xiao Ye lowered his arms and responded in a low voice.

"What's going on?"

Chen Yonggang frowned and asked, "I heard that Xiao Ye failed to strictly follow orders during the battle five days ago, resulting in the death of a peacekeeping force member in action."

That day, the peacekeeping force was carrying out a hostage rescue mission. Due to a command error, after the troops entered the town, they were ambushed by terrorists, and the situation was extremely dangerous. Among them, a special forces soldier who was acting as a scout was trapped in a wooden house.

Xiao Ye recalled the battle that day, word for word: “At that time, the troop commander, Hansen from the Delta Force of the United States, ordered me to temporarily act as a special forces operative to rescue his comrade.”

"I observed the situation at the time and did not carry out his orders. It wasn't that I was afraid of death, but I felt his orders were wrong."

"Then how did you do it?" Chen Yonggang continued to ask.

"I immediately deserted and went to the back of town, sneaking into the hostage camp. I killed eight terrorists, freeing 231 hostages. Then I stole a tank from them and launched a surprise attack on their forces from behind, helping my comrades wipe out all the terrorists!"

Xiao Ye said in a powerful voice, “Leader, I can’t say that I decided the victory of that operation. But I can assure you, if I hadn’t arrived at the hostage camp in time, even if we had killed all the terrorists, the hostages would have died!”

Because when I arrived at the hostage camp, the terrorists were already prepared to kill the hostages - they had installed a time bomb in the camp, ready to blow it up and kill everyone inside!

But that bastard Hanson accused me of killing his comrade, threw me in here, and is going to court-martial me!

Damn it, do special forces' lives matter more than the hostages'? There are 231 hostages there, including 128 of our fellow Chinese nationals!

In the end, Xiao Ye was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he was terrified to the extreme!

He couldn't imagine what it would be like if, because of his own incompetence, the hostages were brutally killed by terrorists. What kind of heart would he have?

But he could be sure, it would be the most terrifying nightmare of his military career and even his life!

"I understand, I'll leave here first."

Chen Yonggang nodded, he trusted his men, and he trusted Xiao Ye, the ace of Huaxia Zhanlong Special Forces, who would definitely not lie about this kind of thing.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Xiao Ye loudly accepted the order, walked to the concrete bed, picked up his jacket in his hand, and then left the cell with Chen Yonggang where he had been detained for five days.

Subsequently, Xiao Ye and Chen Yonggang, led by a black soldier, successfully passed through the prison corridors, passing two checkpoints, and then took a fingerprint-verified elevator to the ground.

The prison is located underground, and the ground above it is a military base of Country Y, which is now the headquarters of the peacekeeping force.

In the command center, the peacekeeping troops led by Hansen of the 國三角洲 Special Forces were all present, seemingly waiting for Xiao Ye.

"Damn bastard, a soldier's duty is to obey orders - you don't deserve to be a soldier, let alone a special forces operative!"

When Xiao Ye and Chen Yonggang appeared, Hansen from the National Triangle Delta Special Forces scowled and cursed.

"Stupid countrymen, our mission is to rescue the hostages. If the hostages die, wiping out all the terrorists is still a mission failure."

Xiao Ye glared coldly at Hansen, saying every word with gritted teeth: "You're trying to cover up your own command mistakes by shifting all the blame onto me. Such behavior is truly despicable!"

"Fart, if you execute my orders, we can not only save the hostages but also prevent my comrades from being sacrificed. If I could, I'd love to thrash you, rookie, at the Global Special Forces Championship!"

Hans felt a pang of pain, and somewhat angrily replied. Then, he thought of something, sneered, and said, “Of course, you’ll never have this opportunity!”

Whoosh!

When Chen Yonggang heard Hansen's words, his face changed slightly. He then spoke first to stop Xiao Ye from continuing the argument: "Xiao Ye, let's go."

Hearing Chen Yungang's words, Xiao Ye had to swallow the words he was about to say at the edge. Then, he walked out of the command center with Chen Yungang and left the military base in a diplomatic car.

While the peacekeepers and other special forces personnel stared at Hansen with displeasure.

On the one hand, Hansen, in order to cover up his own mistakes, used his power to cause them to lose a powerful comrade—Xiao Ye Zhan. Their medical skills and strong individual combat ability were very admirable.

On the other hand, next they still have to continue to take Hansen's command, completely without safety!

……

One day later.

Xiao Ye and Chen Yonggang arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport by plane and walked out of the airport with other passengers.

By the way, Chief, which organization are the terrorists who took hostages this time from?

Walking, walking, Xiao Ye suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask.

"The Hell organization."

Chen Yonggang slowly uttered four words, his expression extremely solemn.

The hell organization is extremely powerful and terrifying, causing headaches for militaries around the world.

More importantly, the Hell Organization has clashed with the Hua Xia Zhanlong Special Forces before, and it resulted in the death of the previous captain of the Zhanlong Special Forces!

"Damn it, it's the Hell Organization again! One day, I will personally destroy this evil organization and avenge my master!"

Hearing Chen Yonggang's words, Xiao Ye's eyes turned red, her fists clenched tightly, and she gritted her teeth, her voice filled with a bone-chilling murderous intent.

Because the previous commander of the Dragon Special Forces was his master!

Xiao Ye's words echoed in his ears, laced with Xiao Ye's anger, hatred, and murderous intent. Chen Yonggang stopped in his tracks, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Xiao Ye, there is some bad news I haven't had time to tell you."

"What?"

After research and deliberation by the higher-level meeting, you have been expelled from the Huaxia Zhanlong Special Forces...

Chen Yonggang looked pained. Xiao Ye was the top ace of the Zhanlong Special Forces. If possible, he wouldn't choose to let Xiao Ye leave the unit.

"What… What?!"

Xiao Ye was so startled that he froze in place.

Because you did not strictly enforce peacekeeper leader Hanson's orders in the field, Hanson took you to a military court. We fought hard for you and ultimately secured your freedom, but you must leave the unit...

Chen Yonggang spoke in a low voice, knowing how suffocating and cruel this decision was for Xiao Ye!

"Commander, I once made a vow to my master's son and promised my brothers that I would lead them to eradicate the Hell Organization and avenge our master. And...you tell me I was expelled from the army?!"

As expected, Xiao Ye exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Although I didn't carry out that idiot's orders, what I did didn't lead to the mission's failure. Instead, I saved those hostages in time..."

“Xiao Ye, I believe what you said and understand your feelings. But please believe me, we've done our best. The military district commander even went to headquarters to bang on the table about this! In other words, if it weren't for the commander’s efforts to protect you, you would be locked up in a prison abroad.”

Chen Yonggang sighed again and said, "Because, no matter what, that Hansen fellow was the highest commander in that operation, and it's a fact that you didn't execute his orders."

"Heh… no wonder that idiot Hanson said before that I wouldn't have a chance to participate in the Global Special Forces Competition."

Xiao Ye clenched his fists, a self-deprecating smile on his face. His smile was filled with desolation, but more so with anger.

This time, Chen Yonggang remained silent. As he said, he understood Xiao Ye's heart at this moment.

"My leader, thank you for everything you have done for me, and thank you for your care over the past few years."

A few seconds later, Xiao Ye released his fists and bowed to Chen Yonggang in thanks.

"Sorry, Xiao Ye, we really tried our best…"

Chen Yonggang sighed deeply.

"I know, you're putting the greater good and national interests first. I don't blame you," Xiao Ye gently nodded.

"Xiao Ye, although you have been put on trial by a military court, you rescued 128 Chinese citizens among the hostages. You are a hero of the Chinese army and a hero of China!" Chen Yonggang said again.

"Sir, from the day I became a special forces soldier, I never aspired to be a hero, nor did I care about the title. All I sought was to do my best to defend my country and serve with honor—farewell, sir!"

As his words fell, Xiao Ye saluted Chen Yonggang and then turned to leave in large strides.

"Xiao... Xiao Ye, don't you plan to say goodbye to your comrades in the army?" Chen Yonggang shouted to Xiao Ye.

"A dragon warrior's brother has only one farewell—a parting of life and death, a separation until the end!"

Xiao Ye said without looking back, then disappeared into the crowd.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yonggang clenched his fist tightly, then stood motionless in place for several minutes before leaving.

"Buzz"

At the same time, Xiao Ye walked out of the airport hall. His phone in his pocket vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from his comrade-in-arms Qin Zhan. After a moment's hesitation, he answered the phone.

"Yèzi, have you arrived in Beijing?"

The phone call connected, Qin Zhan spoke first, his voice very urgent.

"Just arrived at the airport," Xiao Ye informed truthfully.

"Leaves, I've heard everything about you. It's outrageous! Don't worry, I'm taking leave to go back and ask my grandfather to keep you in the army!"

Qin Zhan said indignantly, his grandfather was a giant in the army, with immense prestige.

"Brother, I understand their concerns. Your intentions are clear to me, please don't make your grandfather feel uncomfortable."

Xiao Ye replied, though he desperately wanted to stay in the unit, he also knew that even if Qin Zhan went to his grandfather, it would be very difficult to achieve this.

After all, this matter isn't just a domestic issue; it involves international affairs and has far-reaching consequences.

If not, he believes that those above would not have made such a decision!

"Yèzi, I won't hide it from you either. I can't guarantee my grandfather will help you out."

Qin Zhan sighed upon hearing this, then changed the subject, saying: "But, if you can do one thing for me, I guarantee that my grandfather will definitely stand up for you, and he'll definitely be able to keep you in the army!"

"What?"

"I will get your sister, and become your brother-in-law, the son-in-law of the Qin family!" Qin Zhan said quickly.

"Stop being silly!"

Xiao Ye let out a bitter smile.

Qin Zhan's elder sister is the eldest daughter of the Qin family, known as the number one person in the capital.

Qin Zhan had pursued his own sister, Xiao Ye, on more than one occasion, but Xiao Ye always dismissed it as a joke. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhan brought it up again at this time.

"Yèzi, I'm serious. You don't know, my grandfather treasures my sister like a precious jewel. You just have to do something for my brother-in-law..." Qin Zhàn continued persuading him.

"Brother, you forgot, I have a fiancee."

Xiao Ye interrupted Qin Zhan's words, and at the same time, an image of a child appeared in her mind.

The child has a pretty face and big, black eyes. She wears a blue-and-white ink painting cheongsam and black leather shoes, with a neat ponytail. She looks like a fairy who stepped out of an ink painting.

That day.

Xiao Ye and Hai first learned about the engagement.

That day.

He kissed her.

French kiss.
