His sharp eyes swept across the entire room as he shouted loudly,
"Here, everyone is equal! Don't even mention the deputy division commander, even if it were the army commander's daughter, she'd have to treat me like dirt! Don't try to show off your tricks to me!"
He didn't look at Qiao Lin again, and casually tossed the face cream back to the young female instructor who had been there first.
The young female instructor caught it steadily, stood at attention, and awaited orders.
Lei Kuan: "Let her see what the difference is between a division commander's daughter and a farmer's daughter in the reserve camp!"
"Smash it!"
"yes!"
Upon receiving the order, the young female instructor did not hesitate for a moment and walked up to Qiao Lin, who was pale and trembling with fear.
Qiao Lin watched him walk over, noticing the indifference on the female instructor's face that seemed out of place for her age.
She tried to back away, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she couldn't move.
At the back of the crowd, Su Tang watched the whole thing unfold. This act of making an example of someone was crude in its execution, but it was remarkably effective.
Lei Kuan first gave hope, then crushed it into the mud. The pain of falling from the clouds is far more profound than being suppressed from the beginning.
These were the instructors she remembered who were ruthless and cruel.
At this moment, the young female instructor held high the jar of Friendship brand face cream that she had once placed all her hopes on.
Then, in front of everyone, it slammed hard at her feet!
"Smack!"
A crisp cracking sound rang out, particularly jarring and loud, in the deathly silent playground.
The white paste mixed with shards of glass splattered everywhere, covering Qiao Lin's trouser leg and splashing onto the surface of her brand-new leather shoes, as if mocking her foolishness and dishevelment.
This is not just a denial from the head instructor, but a ruthless crushing and trampling of her as an individual, her background, and all her petty cleverness by the entire power system.
At this moment, Qiao Lin's beliefs collapsed. The social skills her father had taught her were simply not applicable in this rule-based army.
In this training camp, her identity, her background, and her clever tricks were all worthless.
From this day forward, she is no longer Deputy Commander Qiao's daughter.
She was just an ordinary person who could be eliminated by the cruel rules at any time, and who was treated the same as everyone else.
The playground was deathly silent.
Lei Kuan's icy voice rang out again:
“Here, wrongdoing has consequences! Qiao Lin, for attempting to challenge camp rules and seek special treatment, is punished with three days of fasting as a warning to others!”
"You all understand! Here, there are no daughters of division commanders, nor sons of farmers! There are only two kinds of people: hunters and good-for-nothings who want to get out! Which one do you want to be!"
"Hunter!" More than two hundred people roared with all their might.
“Very good!” Lei Kuan pointed to the mess on the ground. “It seems you all know this isn’t a daycare center! Now, everyone, take off your shoes! Throw them in that basket over there! You don’t need these fancy things here!”
"You have fifteen minutes to find your barracks, change your clothes, and assemble on the parade ground! Dismissed! Anyone who's late, you can expect to go hungry with Qiao Lin!"
Fifteen minutes? Find barracks? Change clothes? And then there's a regrouping?
The recruits were in a state of confusion. As soon as the order was given, the crowd exploded like a hornet's nest that had been poked!
"Where are the barracks?"
"Quick! Run that way!"
"Don't push me! I haven't picked up my things yet!"
The once orderly ranks instantly descended into chaos, with everyone frantically searching for their belongings before rushing like headless flies toward the rows of low barracks in the distance.
Pushing, shouting, and cursing filled the air, with some people even knocking others to the ground in their rush to get ahead.
Su Tang remained calm and composed. In the instant the chaos erupted, she quickly gathered her few simple clothes and stuffed them back into the suitcase.
She happened to glance at the thin Wang Xiaoya beside her, who was being jostled and pushed around by the crowd, and casually pulled her along, saying, "Follow me."
