Chapter 783: Commander Lu’s Beloved Girls
After they went down the mountain, they saw Sergeant Lu had deliberately targeted the female soldiers, and the only reason for that could only be Chen Feitang!
The troops had reported the mistake when they burned the mountain in the second round. However, many people still said that Chen Feitang had caused that mistake, and Chen Feibai had taken the blame for her.
At the start of the third round, some people accidentally noticed that Jin Mingdong and the others had surrounded Chen Feitang. Therefore, they had believed the rumor was true.
Chen Feitang’s mistake had caused the entire female regiment to suffer. If the rest of her companions were not angry at her, who else would they be mad at?
Even if they were angry with Commander Lu, would that serve any purpose? Their skills were not as good as his. However, if Chen Feitang had not made that mistake and offended Commander Lu, would they have been eliminated so quickly?
The bureau chief was furious when he heard reports from the female soldiers who had been eliminated.
“Lu Xingzhi—that brat will pay for this!” If there had been a table there, he would have slammed his palm on it so hard that it would split into two.
However, it seemed that the bureau chief had jumped the gun. One the second day, more people were eliminated—men and women alike. The bureau chief pondered on the situation with the male soldiers; he thought that it was still alright. However, his face darkened as he thought about the same problem with the female soldiers.
Those female soldiers were all in a good mood. Those who had been eliminated, no matter early or late into the rounds, would later ask, “Did Commander Lu also feel sorry for you in the forest? Is that why he told you to come back to rest?”
There were other conversations in the command post, as well.
“Commander Lu feels sorry for another girl again.”
“Exactly, Commander Lu is soaking in rain and dew.”
“Didn’t they used to call him Hades Lu because he was merciless to everyone? Didn’t they also say that he dotes on his wife? Now that he has to take care of so many girls, isn’t he afraid that his wife would teach him a lesson when she finds out about this?”
By noon the third day, out of 20 female soldiers, only the soldier ranked second in the first round was still on the mountain. Since they did not have three people to fight for the result, that lone female soldier would pass automatically as long as she survived the next 12 hours.
It was like Lu Xingzhi had eliminated those 20 female soldiers.
“So, Lu Xingzhi didn’t do anything for the past few days. Instead, he went all over the mountain to look for you girls!” Just as the commander had lunch, the 19th eliminated female soldier returned to the command post. The commander’s hand shook in anger. He wanted to break the chopsticks in his hand if they were Lu Xingzhi!
“That’s right. Commander Lu found me in the middle of last night, chased me for the better half of the night, and the whole morning!” The last female soldier sat down in front of the commander. “I avoided him twice, but he managed to find me again even though it was such a big mountain. When he saw that no one was after men, he chased me instead. I thought that I had done something to offend him while I was on the mountain that he kept chasing after me.
“As he chased me, I even thought that I had owed him money, and that was why he persisted in coming after me.” Another female soldier at the side recalled the funny incident where Lu Xingzhi went after her.
“The next time we see Lu Xingzhi’s wife, we should tell her that Commander Lu had chased after us girls. We don’t have to be so obvious, just enough to let his wife think that he’s a playboy. Doesn’t he still want his wife? Let’s let his wife take care of him for us!”
