"Recruitment Company... Haha, a joke." Zhang Chu sneered in his heart. He had made up his mind to leave here. He didn't believe in Qin Yuan, nor did he want to waste time on these "boring rules" of the Recruitment Company. He thought that after leaving the army, he could live well everywhere with his own abilities.

However, when he approached the barbed wire in the camp, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

"Zhang Chu, where are you going?" A low but calm voice sounded in the dark.

Zhang Chu turned around suddenly and saw Yue Ming standing not far away, and the beam of the flashlight shone straight on him. Zhang Chu's face darkened and he cursed in a low voice: "Yue Ming, are you following me?"

Yue Ming looked at him coldly, and the flashlight in his hand shook slightly: "No, I am on night shift patrol, and I just happened to see you sneaking out. Zhang Chu, what do you want to do? Escape?"

Zhang Chu's eyes changed, but he quickly calmed down. He curled his lips and said disdain: "Don't put a hat on me, I just want to go out for some breath. Could it be that this is illegal?"

Yue Ming's eyes were sharp, obviously not convinced of his explanation: "Zhang Chu, the lights have been turned off now. According to regulations, everyone must stay in the dormitory. It is obviously not a reason for breathability when you sneak out like this. Do you know what you are doing?"

Zhang Chu snorted coldly, a hint of impatient flashing in his eyes: "Okay, Yue Ming, don't worry. This matter has nothing to do with you, and you can't care about me."

After saying that, he turned around and continued to walk towards the barbed wire. However, Yue Ming did not give in. He took a quick step and blocked Zhang Chu. His voice was low but with unquestionable majesty: "Zhang Chu, I'll ask again, what are you going to do? If you leave now, you will not only violate discipline, but also be treated as a deserter! Do you want to destroy your life?"

Zhang Chu was angry by this sentence, his face darkened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Deserter? Haha, don't scare me with such words! I don't want to stay in such a place. Don't think you can stop me!"

Before he finished speaking, he pushed Yue Ming away and quickly ran towards the barbed wire.

Yue Ming was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted and gritted his teeth and chased after him: "Zhang Chu! Stop!"

The two started a chase in the dark. Zhang Chu was very fast. After all, he was a special forces soldier and his physical fitness and skills were not comparable to ordinary people. However, Yue Ming was not an ordinary recruit. His endurance and perseverance were famous in the army.

Zhang Chu rushed flexibly in the darkness, trying to get rid of Yue Ming, but Yue Ming always tied behind him. The two ran in the woods in the camp for nearly ten minutes. Zhang Chu originally thought he could easily shake Yue Ming away, but he found that no matter how he accelerated, the other party could always catch up.

"Is this guy... crazy?" Zhang Chu cursed in his heart, but his steps were getting faster and faster. He was already feeling a little tired, but Yue Ming's breathing was still stable.

Finally, as he passed through a bush, Zhang Chu tripped by a tree root at his feet, and his figure swayed slightly. At this moment, Yue Ming rushed up and pressed him to the ground.

The two rolled on the ground for a few laps, and Zhang Chu tried to break free, but Yue Ming's power was unexpectedly great. He pressed Zhang Chu's shoulder tightly and said with a breath: "Stop struggling, Zhang Chu! You can't escape!"

Zhang Chu gritted his teeth, and anger almost spurted out of his eyes: "Let me go! Yue Ming, I warn you, don't worry about my business! I don't want to hurt you!"

Yue Ming sneered, his eyes full of determination: "Do you think you can still win? Zhang Chu, I'm either kidding you. If you run any further, you're destroying yourself. Stop!"

Zhang Chu was stunned. He saw sincerity and firmness in Yue Ming's eyes, and could not help but be a little shaken. But his stubbornness made him unwilling to admit defeat. He said coldly: "Why do you stop me? Why do you care about me?"

Yue Ming paused slightly and whispered: "Because we are comrades! Zhang Chu, do you think I want to arrest you? No, I don't want. I don't want the instructor to see you make mistakes, let alone see you ruin your future! But if you escape like this, it will only make everything worse!"

Zhang Chu was stunned for a moment, and he seemed to be touched by something in his heart, but his lips were still tightly pursed, with complex eyes.

Yue Ming relaxed his strength and his tone eased a little: "Zhang Chu, you are a good soldier, really. But if you don't even stick to the most basic rules, then what's the use of a strong strength? Special forces don't want you, and the recruit company won't keep you. You can run for a while, but you can't run for a lifetime. Zhang Chu, you are a smart person, don't do stupid things."

The night wind blew, and the two of them lay quietly on the ground, and the atmosphere became silent and depressing.

After a long time, Zhang Chu finally sighed and closed his eyes: "...you are cruel, Yue Ming."

Yue Ming breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Zhang Chu to stand up. He patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder, with a little tiredness in his tone: "Go back. I will hide this from the instructor, but the premise is that you don't make such mistakes again from today."

Zhang Chu didn't say anything, just nodded and walked back to the camp with Yue Ming.

The next morning, morning training in the camp began as usual. As the sun had just risen, the entire recruit company was filled with loud slogans and footsteps. However, in the office, the atmosphere was particularly solemn.

Yue Ming stood at Qin Yuan's desk with a serious and firm expression. After celebrating a standard military salute, he reported everything about last night to Qin Yuan without hiding anything.

"Instructor, Zhang Chu tried to slip away from the camp last night. I found him while patrolling and caught him back. He was emotional at the time and tried to break free, but in the end he listened to my advice and returned to the dormitory." Yue Ming's voice was calm, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes. "According to military rules, this behavior can be characterized as a deserter, and it should be very serious to deal with it."

After hearing this, Qin Yuan looked cold, his hands crossed on the table, and was silent for a moment. His eyes did not leave Yue Ming, as if he was scrutinizing or thinking.

"Are you sure he wants to escape, not another purpose?" Qin Yuan's voice was low and calm, but it made people feel an invisible sense of oppression.

Yue Ming nodded, and said firmly: "Yes, instructor. He clearly stated that he didn't want to stay in the recruit company, and he was also disdainful of the rules and training here. I can see that he really wanted to leave last night."

Qin Yuan was silent for a few seconds, took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and looked at the recruit who was training outside the window. There was no expression on his face, but there seemed to be a storm hidden in his deep eyes.

"Zhang Chu is a thorn, but he is not a real deserter." Qin Yuan's voice suddenly rang out, his tone was surprisingly calm, "He was disdainful of the rules and was dissatisfied with the recruit company, but he still had the stubbornness and pride of a soldier in his bones. His behavior last night was more about resisting, not giving up. Am I right?"

Yue Ming was stunned for a moment, carefully recalled Zhang Chu's performance last night, and finally nodded: "Instructor, you are right. He did not show any intention of giving up completely, but his behavior has indeed touched the bottom line."

Qin Yuan sneered, with a little oppressive feeling in his tone: "Touch the bottom line? Yes, it did touch it. But my Qin Yuan's bottom line is never a simple military rule. Zhang Chu, I will give him another chance. It's not because I'm tolerant, but because I know he still has a chance."

Yue Ming frowned and couldn't help asking: "Instructor, but... if such behavior is not handled, will other recruits feel that discipline can be trampled on at will?"

Qin Yuan's eyes were cold and his voice was low: "Yue Ming, discipline is used to restrain ordinary people, and Zhang Chu is not ordinary. For such people, simple punishment will only make him more resistant. What we need to do is to let him understand why rules are needed here, rather than just suppressing them. Besides——" Qin Yuan paused for a moment, and a sneer appeared slightly at the corner of his mouth, "If he dares to touch my bottom line again, I have a way to make him pay the price."

Yue Ming nodded, and admired Qin Yuan's handling in his heart. The instructor's eyes always looked further than those of ordinary people. He paused and asked, "Instructor, what should we deal with Zhang Chu next?"

Qin Yuan glanced at Yue Ming, his tone was calm but with unquestionable majesty: "From today on, you should keep a close eye on him. His every move must be under your control. Don't let him have any chance to go wrong. I will give him a chance, but this time, it's the last time. If he makes another mistake, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."

"Yes!" Yue Ming saluted a standard military salute, his eyes full of determination.

On the training ground in the morning, Zhang Chu stood in the queue with a cold expression and looked no different from usual. But his heart was far less peaceful than on the surface. He knew that what happened last night would eventually be discovered, but strangely, until now, Qin Yuan had not caused trouble for him, and he didn't even say a word of scolding him. This made him feel a little uneasy.

"The instructor can't just let it go, right?" Zhang Chu thought to himself, and secretly glanced at Yue Ming who was standing in front of him. He found that Yue Ming's gaze had been falling on him without hesitation, as if observing every subtle movement of him.

"Tsk, it seems that this guy knew what happened last night." Zhang Chu sneered in his heart, but couldn't help but wonder, "But why didn't the instructor say anything? Is he really going to let me go?"

After the training, Qin Yuan still did not talk to him, which made Zhang Chu even more confused. He vaguely felt that Qin Yuan's silence was not letting go, but giving him an invisible pressure.

Sure enough, when it was lunch time, when all the recruits were queuing up in the cafeteria to get their meals, Yue Ming suddenly walked up to Zhang Chu and said in a low but firm tone: "Zhang Chu, after dinner, you go with me to the training ground."

Zhang Chu was stunned, raised his head and glared at Yue Ming: "What are you doing when you go to the training ground?"

Yue Ming did not answer, but said lightly: "The tasks arranged by the instructor."

Zhang Chu felt a little nervous, but he didn't ask any more questions. He vaguely felt that this time, Qin Yuan might not show him mercy again.

In the afternoon, Qin Yuan held his hands behind his back and looked coldly at Zhang Chu standing in front of him. The sun was scorching the ground, but Qin Yuan's eyes were even hotter than the sun.

"Zhang Chu, I don't want to repeat what happened last night." Qin Yuan spoke, his voice calm, but there was a sense of oppression. "I will only tell you one thing-I will give you another chance. But if you dare to challenge my bottom line, you know what the result will be."

Zhang Chu gritted his teeth, and a trace of stubbornness flashed in his eyes: "Instructor, no one needs to take care of my business. If you want to punish, just say it directly, don't be so sloppy."

Qin Yuan sneered, his eyes like a knife: "Punishment? Zhang Chu, you are not afraid of punishment. But you are afraid of failure. This afternoon training, all your tasks will be doubled, and Yue Ming is responsible for supervising you. If you can't do it, don't blame me for dealing with you!"

Zhang Chu glared at Qin Yuan fiercely, but in the end he didn't say much. He knew he had no choice but to accept it with a tough bullet.

Yue Ming walked forward, patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder lightly, and whispered: "Zhang Chu, don't be stupid again. The instructor is really giving you a chance, don't let him down."

Zhang Chu didn't say anything, but just shook Yue Ming's hand heavily and walked straight to the center of the training ground. He knew that no matter how stubborn he was, he had to grit his teeth and persevere this time.

After the afternoon training, Zhang Chu dragged his tired body back to the dormitory. He sat by his bed without saying a word, with complex eyes. Although he still pretended to be unruly on the surface, deep in his heart, he had already become a mess. He had thought that if he really ran away last night, what would happen after being caught? The word deserter, these two words, are the heaviest marks for a soldier. He knows more than anyone that once such behavior is characterized, it means that his military career will be completely over.

However, he also knew in his heart that he did not really want to escape from the army. He was not a coward, nor was he too lazy to escape training. He just wanted to go back to the place that once belonged to him - the Special Forces Force. Although the door had been closed to him because of his mistakes, he always had a glimmer of luck in his heart, thinking that he still had a chance to go back.

Zhang Chu pinched his temple, took a deep breath, and took out his cell phone from his pocket. Although the communication time was stipulated in the army, he knew that no one noticed his small movement at this time in the duty room. He dialed a number - it was the private phone number of Zhou Zhiheng, the company commander of the special forces, who had been in the special forces unit.

After the phone was connected, a familiar and majestic voice came from the other end: "Hey, who?"

Zhang Chu was silent for a few seconds, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and finally he spoke with difficulty: "Company Commander, it's me, Zhang Chu."
