Chapter 715: Mingyue Enters the Lord's Heart (48)

Shi Liming was already there at the gates when Pan Mingyue arrived at the first district.

“Team Leader Pan, Young Master Lu.” Shi Liming greeted both of them when they alighted from the car.

Lu Zhaoying nodded at him. He remembered the team leader from the previous camp and asked, “Did anyone leave an impression this time?”

The three of them then started to walk towards the school.

Everyone walking past knew Shi Liming. They saluted him from far away, and no one interrupted their conversation.

“Some were above average,” Shi Liming said as he recalled the candidates. Only three hundred were left when the candidates were passed to him.

These three hundred candidates would be undergoing new training. Thirty-six of them would be selected and be personally trained by Shi Liming to be a specialized unit.

They would be the trusted subjects of the Cheng family and Cheng Juan.

The different forces in the capital were secretly fighting for one of the thirty-six slots.

When they arrived at the office, most people were there already. Some teams were keeping the order of the place. Shi Liming opened the window and let Pan Mingyue and Lu Zhaoying examine the soldiers.

“The list is here,” Shi Liming said as he brought out a list for Pan Mingyue. “I’ve chosen a hundred. You can filter out the rest.”

It was a long list. The first column was the name and the subsequent columns were statistics of their abilities. The ones in this list were mostly rated “B” and better.

The last column even had a background check.

The function of the background check was to prevent spies from sneaking in—the first district was a huge place and was the target of many international forces. The second function was to balance out the influence of the different families in the capital.

Even though Shi Liming was like a God of War in the military, he didn’t have the permission to check on such things. Only Pan Mingyue was capable of that.

Lu Zhaoying took a look at it. There were two members from the Lu family on the list, but he wasn’t sure if they would be selected.

Pan Mingyue then pulled out another chart with everyone’s information. They eliminated one person from the list.

Now she would have to select thirty-six from the remaining ninety-nine.

Lu Zhaoying and Shi Liming didn’t dare to disturb her while she examined the list and just stared at her.

Then, his phone rang. It was a message from Cheng Juan. He asked Lu Zhaoying to fetch Cheng Ziyu from Beijing University after he was done.

Lu Zhaoying was confused and asked Shi Liming, “Were you guys babysitting the brat at the Cheng family yesterday?”

Shi Liming replied, “No, I wasn’t.”

“Master Juan said that he’s going to the Cheng family. Weren’t you, Cheng Mu, and Sister Cheng there?”

“Yes.” Shi Liming sounded a bit sad. “But he was taken.”

“Who?” Shocked, Lu Zhaoying supported himself and said, “Who could have taken him from you?”

Shi Liming looked at him and answered, “Mr. Lou. He brought the young master to play with fireworks at Beijing University.”

Lu Zhaoying was speechless.

Forget it.

“They should be playing with fireworks today as well.” Shi Liming sighed. “It’s forbidden to play with fireworks in the capital. It’ll cause air pollution, right?”

Lu Zhaoying was speechless.

He finally understood why Cheng Juan asked them to fetch the brat.

He was playing with fireworks.

“I’ll wait for you guys downstairs.” Lu Zhaoying took his phone and headed down. As members of the Lu family were among the candidates, he didn’t want to be seen as biased.

…

Three hundred soldiers stood at attention at the parade square, with their commanders and family watching from the side.

Second Uncle was at the side as well.

The Lu family was already firmly rooted in the capital. Hence, the people with Second Uncle were just there to bootlick.

“Mr. Lu, isn’t that Young Master Lu?”

Second Uncle heard what the person said and looked towards the entrance. He saw Lu Zhaoying approaching.

“Zhaoying, why are you here?” Lu Zhaoying was surprised to see him. “Didn’t you send the lady home?”

Lu Zhaoying was in casual attire today. He approached them with his hands in his pocket, then sat down and looked at the three hundred soldiers.

Second Uncle understood that he didn’t want to talk and then spoke to the others.

Lu Zhaoying was a bum in the past. But he had gotten better in the past few years, and the Lu family could see the change in him as well. Hence, the Lu family members that were against him had lost their power and the remaining ones were loyal to him.

About five minutes later, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the parade square. Those waiting at the side stood up to welcome them.

“Mr. Shi will be doing the selection himself this year. It would be great if one of our members was selected.” An officer next to Second Uncle. He looked at the people at the entrance of the parade square in admiration and said, “It’s such a pity that I’m too young. If I could get into the team led by Captain Shi, I could die without any regrets.”

Shi Liming was the God of War, and everyone knew who he was. Even the generals from the previous generation admired him.

Second Uncle was from the first district and Shi Liming as well. He lifted his head in admiration when he heard that, looking excited.

It was a common sight for Lu Zhaoying already.

Shi Liming was like Cheng Juan and Qin Ran, after all.

They can’t be regarded as normal humans anymore.

“Young Master Lu, I’ll be bringing your second uncle to meet Mr. Shi. Do you want to come along?” the office asked Lu Zhaoying.

Second Uncle was excited and said, “Zhaoying, he was once a comrade of Mr. Shi. Do you want to meet him?”

Lu Zhaoying was texting Cheng Wenru at the moment. Hence, he rejected the officer.

Second Uncle then followed the officer.

Shi Liming was chatting with someone at this moment, and a lady in casual clothes was standing next to him.

People guessed if it was the legendary “Miss Qin”. But Second Uncle felt that the lady looked familiar.

The officer greeted Shi Liming smilingly. “Captain Shi, this is Mr. Lu. He had heard of you and wanted to meet you for the longest time.”

Shi Liming turned to them.

Pan Mingyue then looked up and saw Second Uncle.
