But they underestimated Xue Yanchen, and underestimated his indomitable spirit.
A few minutes later, Zhang Ming, enraged by Xue Yanchen's refusal to yield, picked up the bowl of food and threw it in Xue Yanchen's face.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Battalion Commander Xue, you find it troublesome to eat by yourself and insist that I feed you."
Xue Yanchen bit into a few pieces of cabbage and, *pfft*, sprayed them onto Zhang Ming's face.
"It is a disgrace to our army to have scum like you in our ranks."
Zhang Ming got yelled at, stood up, and kicked Xue Yanchen several times.
He snorted and, holding the bowl, said to Chen Jing, "Battalion Commander Xue has a bad work style. He deliberately wastes food and corrupts the morale of our army. This must be reported to the commander."
In any case, Commander Li is now in charge of handling Xue Yanchen's matter. If nothing unexpected happens, Xue Yanchen will not be able to turn things around this time. No matter what Xue Yanchen does, as long as they pin the blame on him, they will be innocent, while Xue Yanchen will be considered utterly wicked.
The two of them had been tormenting each other for almost the entire morning and were temporarily satisfied. They took a break and then pondered how to torture Xue Yanchen again.
No matter what they do, as long as they don't seriously injure anyone, they can just change their clothes and wash them before taking them away so no one can tell anything.
However, they tortured not only the body, but also the spirit and personality, because they knew what methods could hurt the unyielding Xue Yanchen the most.
In the guesthouse outside the military region
Around noon, Zhang Jinfeng was led to the guesthouse by a soldier.
Just then, Luo Jingyan and Old Mrs. Xue ran into each other as they were leaving. The three of them exchanged glances, but Luo Jingyan and Old Mrs. Xue treated Zhang Jinfeng as just an ordinary guest and didn't pay her much attention.
Zhang Jinfeng, however, was captivated by Luo Jingyan. Looking at the girl's angelic beauty, she couldn't help but click her tongue and say, "Hey, whose daughter is this? How come she's so beautiful?"
She suddenly thought of Xue Yanchen, the man she had just framed. Perhaps only he was worthy of the woman in front of her.
As Luo Jingyan and Grandma Xue passed by her, Grandma Xue said, "I wonder what Yanchen is doing inside. He didn't come out to look for us today."
When Zhang Jinfeng heard the name "Yanchen," she suddenly paused. Wasn't the officer she had framed earlier today named Xue Yanchen? Could he be the person this old woman was talking about?
Perhaps because she felt guilty, she walked quickly. When she went upstairs, she didn't notice the steps and fell to her knees with a thud, her calves and knees aching.
"Ouch, hiss~"
Hearing the commotion, Luo Jingyan and Old Madam Xue turned around and glanced at her, only to find that the woman, despite being injured, had actually looked back at them.
But they still didn't care, thinking that the woman was just afraid of losing face.
At noon, Zhao Jun returned to his dormitory and found that Xue Yanchen's dormitory door was locked.
"You must have gone out to find your grandma and your wife. Look how good you are, you don't have to train every day, and you have your grandma and wife to keep you company. When can I bring my Zhenzhen over to keep me company?"
After sighing and complaining, he returned to his dormitory to rest.
The weather outside was nice, the sun was warm, and Luo Jingyan and Grandma Xue walked along the road, but Luo Jingyan was restless.
She thought for a moment, wondering if it was because she hadn't seen Xue Yanchen today. He must have something on his mind. She wasn't a child anymore, and she couldn't be so willful as to make him stay with her all the time.
In the interrogation room
Zhang Ming and Chen Jing stopped verbally and physically torturing Xue Yanchen. They left the interrogation room, but closed the door and windows tightly, making it dark inside without any light.
Chen Jing laughed and said, "He was tied up tightly and couldn't move at all. It was also dark inside. Even the most mentally strong person probably couldn't stand it."
Zhang Ming grinned wickedly, "Hmph, this is called mental torture. Just wait for him to break down."
But after a while, he got itchy again. He couldn't stand not to torture Xue Yanchen himself, so he went back into the interrogation room, this time with a powerful flashlight in his hand...
As the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, a day passes quickly for others, but for Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan, it feels rather long.
Luo Jingyan and Grandma Xue hadn't seen Xue Yanchen all day. Grandma Xue frowned and said, "What's wrong with this kid? He hasn't come out all day."
"If he doesn't come out by tomorrow, we'll go and ask him what he's doing inside."
"I don't think anything serious will happen. You submitted your materials three or four days ago, and they said you'd get the results in five days. I hope it's not because of this again."
“Then we should definitely ask them. I want to know the results as soon as possible,” Luo Jingyan said.
Grandma Xue patted the back of her hand and said with a smile, "Good, good."
In the evening, as soon as Zhao Jun returned to his dormitory, he went to look for Xue Yanchen again, but Xue Yanchen's door was still tightly closed and he couldn't push it open. He knocked on the door and called out to someone inside, but no one answered.
"You've gone out and haven't come back yet?" He smiled and said, "You and your wife are really inseparable."
He ignored it again and went back to his room.
That evening, Luo Jingyan and Old Mrs. Xue returned to the guesthouse. When it was late at night, Luo Jingyan woke up and wanted to go to the toilet.
Although Grandma Xue was already fast asleep, she still dared not go into the space to take care of things, for fear that the old lady would pretend to be asleep again like before.
She got up and left her room. As she walked down the corridor to a doorway, she suddenly heard voices coming from inside.
Actually, the people inside weren't speaking very loudly, but because the air at night is more humid than during the day, which is more conducive to sound transmission, and because it was particularly quiet at this time, and because Luo Jingyan often drank spiritual spring water and had sharp hearing and eyesight, all these conditions combined allowed her to hear the sounds from that room.
The reason the conversation in the room caught her attention was because they were speaking English, and she also heard the words "battle plan".
The fact that they communicated in a foreign language and discussed military matters suggests that the people living there are likely enemy agents.
To avoid being discovered, she simply entered the space, which had an invisibility function, allowing her to eavesdrop outside without restraint.
She noticed that the people inside didn't speak English with a very pure accent; their accents sounded somewhat like those of people from island nations.
In order to hear their conversation more clearly, Luo Jingyan not only eavesdropped outside, but also released Black Tiger.
"Black Tiger, go listen at their window."
"Yes, Master."
Black Tiger hasn't helped its master with errands in a long time, and it's been staying in the space these days. If it weren't for Fat Tiger keeping it company, it would probably be bored to death by now.
Now that she finally had a chance to go out and have some fun, she quickly ran out and climbed onto the windowsill of that room from the outside.
Cats have relatively large ears, which is beneficial for sound collection. Their hearing sensitivity is much higher than that of humans. Black Tiger climbed onto the windowsill and hid behind the curtains, unnoticed by the people inside.
Even if they do discover it, who would be wary of a cat?
