Chapter 49

A Secret That Cannot Be Disclosed

That night, Xiao Qi did not return to the dorm.

The next morning, the dormitory’s female staff packed Xiao Qi’s belongings and told everyone that Xiao Qi had withdrawn from the school.

No one in the dormitory found anything weird about it. After all, there were many people who withdrew from school in this day and age.

Only Gu Youli knew that things were not as they seemed.

Xiao Qi probably turned out to be a spy just as Yu Feibai had said. For someone with such a high rank to come to a school personally to just look at the freshmen, was unbelievable.

He might have wanted to look for potential talent but at the same time, he must have received news that there was a female spy undercover among the freshmen.

After observing everyone for some time, he had found two suspects. Chu Qing and Xiao Qi. He might have suspected Xiao Qi more since she hid her true abilities.

Therefore, Yu Feibai got her to find a way to make them fight.

By this time, Yu Feibai might have already thrown Xiao Qi into the interrogation room.

No one knew if spies actually existed but she was sure that if they did exist, it was a secret that could not be disclosed.

The military training ended in a blink of an eye and the parade also came to an end.

Gu Youli’s squad earned the ‘Excellent Training Award’ while her company was given the ‘Excellent Company Award’.

Company Commander Chen smiled for the first time and started becoming friendly with the students. They sat on small benches and he started telling them stories about the army.

Gu Youli had not seen Yu Feibai since the day they parted. He was not present at the military parade as well.

Gu Youli was a little angry about that.

She had agreed to help Yu Feibai and he owed her a favor. Although she knew that he wouldn’t go back on his word about the favor, he should have at least thanked her for her help.

That night, when they were dismissed, Company Commander Chen asked Chu Qing with a smile, “Comrade Chu Qing, are you interested in joining the army?”

“Huh?” Chu Qing looked at Company Commander Chen with her eyes widening in shock.

Company Commander Chen continued to smile. “Every year, the army chooses some people from different schools. We usually pick someone who is excellent in both studies and virtues and is resilient. I think you’re suitable!”

As he said that, he patted Chu Qing’s shoulder and left. Chu Qing stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded.

After a while, she exclaimed loudly and hugged Gu Youli tightly. “Ah! The company commander said that I can join the army!”

“Yeah, yeah! You can join the army and end up in the special corps.” Gu Youli smiled brightly.

Chu Qing had mentioned countless times that she was not interested in learning fashion design.

She had wanted to join the army and be part of the special corps. At first, it was because she thought that female soldiers in the special corps were very cool but slowly she realized that it had become a dream for her.

However, Chu Qing’s mom was not in agreement and insisted that she attend the university.

Now that she had gotten such a chance, Chu Qing wouldn’t let it slip past her. Gu Youli recalled that in her previous life, Hua Miaomiao had said that Chu Qing was in the army.

She had gotten to know during that time that Chu Qing hadn’t been an ordinary soldier. The special corps handled top-secret missions that outsiders would not be allowed to find out about.

No matter how fate had changed, it seemed that Chu Qing would still end up in the special corps as she wished.

The dormitory was resounding with songs and laughter that evening.

Gu Youli was enjoying the lively atmosphere. She chatted happily with the girls in the dormitory and forgot about her previous life for a few moments. She felt that she was simply an 18-year-old university student.

It was not until another person moved in that it all came rushing back. Yang Mengshan had arrived!
