2840 Chapter 2840
Li Jinnian was cold and reserved, so even his words were extremely cold. As long as he opened his mouth, the invisible coldness that made people’s hearts tense would arise. It would make people immediately concentrate and not dare to be distracted for half a second.

Even Ye Jian didn’t notice the small battle between her boyfriend and her cousin.

She listened attentively and stared at Li Jinnian without blinking. Her expression was so serious that Li Jinnian, who wanted to compete with Xia Jinyuan, felt a little guilty.

After clearing his throat and restraining his emotions, Li Jinnian continued, “The Eka Assault Competition is famous for its high difficulty, high intensity, long-distance, multi-topics, cross-soldiers, and principle of ‘real guns are dangerous and tragic beyond psychological endurance.’ Hence, it’s also known as the ‘competition without death’ by the military of various countries.

This was the first time that the country had sent special forces soldiers to participate in the competition. It was also at a time like this. The military of various countries had been keeping an eye on them. If they were too strong, they would be too high-profile. If they were too humble, they would be too weak and appear easy to bully. The military requested them to not be too strong as that would make them targets, but they couldn’t be too weak as they would be laughed at. They had to be modest but push forward till the end.

Every time Ye Jian heard words like ‘you can’t be too strong, but you can’t keep a low profile’, she couldn’t help but want to laugh. This was really difficult for Captain Xia, the commander-in-chief of the combat team, to do.

The military really knew how to make things difficult for people.

However, she believed in Captain Xia’s ability. With his scheming nature, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to settle these things.

It was already three o’clock in the afternoon when they were done discussing the possible special forces from the 12 countries. They boarded the plane at ten o’clock and didn’t even have lunch. They only knew what time it was when they looked at the time.

The flight attendants knew the special nature of this batch of passengers, so they didn’t dare to disturb them. They just waited for the people inside to come out.

They had lunch at three o’clock. After the meal, they discussed for almost three hours. They dissected the details and then dissected them once more. In the end, everyone had a clear idea in their mind.

This was their first time participating in a competition. The more they knew, the more confident they would be. Only then would their morale be high and they would be able to face the competition calmly.

After a few hours of discussion, Ye Jian glanced out the window of the plane. In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
When it was time to sleep, Ye Jian had just laid down and covered herself with a thin blanket when she felt someone standing beside her. The familiar smell made her smile. Before he could speak, she got up.

“Come here.” Xia Jinyuan bent down. He was so close that his thin lips brushed past her cheek. “I have something to talk to you about alone.”

Did he need to talk to her alone?

Was he afraid that she had a bad mentality?

Ye Jian got up and walked out with him. This time, they walked to the cabin outside, which was the business cabin that passengers usually took.

Business class wasn’t as spacious as first class. However, Xia Jinyuan preferred this place because… he could sit very close to Ye Jian.

The flight attendant, who was outside, saw the special passengers coming out and immediately walked over. Before she could get close, Xia Jinyuan raised his hand slightly to stop them.

When they arrived at the airport tomorrow, they would immediately go to the combat zone. Xia Jinyuan asked Ye Jian to come out alone because he wanted to talk to her. He wanted to know if she had any psychological burden. After all, she was the youngest and the only female soldier in the entire team. He needed to pay attention to her.

Of course, he was also being a little selfish. It was only eight o’clock in the evening. He could talk to her alone for an hour before sleeping.
