“Here’s the map.” Everyone was nervous as they noticed the change in Zhai Sheng’s expression. Could it be that what Song Yin heard was an important piece of information?

Song Yin’s p.r.o.nunciation was not only strange but out of tune. Besides the few keywords, Zhai Sheng could only guess what he was saying. He then tried to determine the location based on the terrain displayed on the map. “This is the coordinate. We will set off now. Inform the border guards and tell them to wear bulletproof vests. We are dealing with a bunch of vicious guys.”

“Yes, Regiment Commander Zhai.”

Everyone was ready to go. They looked serious and solemn.

Someone could not help but approach Song Yin. “Song Yin, are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?” It was the arms trade and it could be a serious case. But the problem was that Regiment Commander Zhai made a guess based on what Song Yin said.

Among them, Song Yin’s had a better grasp of the English language. However, Song Yin was not fluent in English. Besides, they had a long conversation in English, and Song Yin merely repeated the last sentence of their conversation. What if it was interpreted out of context?

“I find it strange. It’s the arms trade we are talking about. This is… This is a very serious matter. Why would the two foreigners discuss such important and secretive matters in broad daylight and in an alley instead of a place where there’s n.o.body else? They could not be so foolish. I just feel that it may not be true.”

Song Yin had an awkward look on his face. He could only understand simple English. He had no idea of the meaning behind the sentence he memorized.

If he had not heeded Teacher Xiao Qiao’s advice to listen to English tapes, he would not have been able to remember roughly the p.r.o.nunciation of the sentence.

Song Yin, who was quite confident in what he said, stiffened and lost his confidence under everyone’s doubts and suspicions.

What if he did not remember the exact wording and gave the wrong information to Regiment Commander Zhai, putting everyone in great risk? What should he do?

“All of you don’t have to doubt what Song Yin said. According to what he relayed to me, the other party has a sudden change of mind and wants to complete the trade immediately.” It happened so suddenly. Hence, the group had no time to find a quiet and safe place to discuss it over. They could only pa.s.s the information at the fastest speed when they met.

“Is that what it means?” The group of people kept staring at Song Yin, making him turn red in embarra.s.sment.

Song Yin waved his hands awkwardly. “Don’t look at me. I have already said that I merely repeated what they said. I could barely remember the p.r.o.nunciation. I don’t understand what they were talking about!” If Regiment Commander Zhai had not mentioned it, he would not have known the meaning of the sentence that he repeated to them.

“Have you informed the border guards?”

“Reporting to the Regiment Commander Zhai, we have informed them.”

“Okay, let’s set off now!”

“Yes, Regiment Commander Zhai!”

That night, Qiao Nan did not know that Zhai Sheng was carrying out a dangerous mission. She used to read about ways to describe ‘fierce battle’ in her textbooks, but she did not know that right then, Zhai Sheng and his comrades were braving the storm of shots and sh.e.l.ls.

The new semester had started at Ping Cheng High School. Qiao Nan and her batch of students had advanced to the second year, and there was another new batch of first-year students. They had turned from juniors to someone’s seniors.

Ping Cheng High School was bustling with activities right now.

It was at this time that Ping Cheng High School received a special honor that came from the army. It was a letter of grat.i.tude and commendation, in which Qiao Nan was specifically praised and commended.
