Chapter 49 - Strict Teachers Produce Outstanding Students (2/2)

“Keep your eyes closed. Don’t let the sun burn them.” Grandpa Gen reminded Ye Jian amiably. Standing at the entrance to the cave, he turned his back to the sun. “Open your eyes three minutes later.”

Ye Jian didn’t open her eyes until they had adjusted to the light. She saw that the military camp hidden deep in the mountain was close at hand.

After they exited the cave, they walked down the mountain. Another half an hour later, they arrived at an asphalt-paved road. Alongside the road stood a white-base sign with red characters on it, which read, “RESTRICTED MILITARY AREA”.

There was a stretch of barbed wire fence 400 meters away. Behind the fence was a barbed wire gate. In total, four soldiers were holding guns and standing guard.

Ye Jian looked further into the woods on the mountain and saw the observation post hidden deep in the forest.

This was a heavily guarded area. And led by Grandpa Gen, she could enter it so easily!

An armed soldier walked towards them. After saluting Grandpa Gen, he verified their ident.i.ties.

An ordinary-looking vehicle drove past them. Then, it stopped in front of the guard post.

The left and the right door to the car opened at the same time. As the soldier who was driving the car handed his identification doc.u.ment to the guard, a young soldier jumped from the pa.s.senger seat and strode towards Ye Jian’s direction.

“Grandpa, you are here.” said the young soldier with a smile on his elegant and handsome face. His military uniform was neat and well-ironed. He saluted Grandpa Gen and said, “I’m afraid I have to postpone my appointment with you. The school has made an emergency phone call and I need to check it out. Maybe next time.”

Grandpa Gen laughed and said, “A soldier’s duty is to obey orders. Captain Xia, we can arrange another appointment when you’re back.”
