Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 741: Chapter 444: Analysis and Meeting

”I am puzzled why he cooperates like this, am I right?”

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s inquiry, Luo Ye nodded: ”Yes, I feel I can understand it, yet it seems a bit too simple. He has built his network for so long and does so many ruthless acts, why would he make an exception for me?

He said he cherishes talent, but I think he should cherish power more. He and I have no kin nor favors between us. How could he give up his original plan for my sake? Yet, I can’t pinpoint any flaws for the time being.”

”Yes, just because of Ye’er’s talent, he would not abandon his original plan.” Ye Xuan sat beside her and sighed softly, ”We can only say that at the bottom of his heart, there is still conscience and benevolence.

He had studied in Russia and made it to where he is today through effort. But it’s often like this, once someone reaches a peak, they start thinking differently.

To achieve his own goals, he lost his way and accepted things he shouldn’t have. That is his true portrayal, and acceptance naturally comes at a cost.

He increasingly understood that some matters are developing beyond his control. If he still acted according to his original plan, then he could well become a real traitor.

In this matter, he didn’t continue to be confused. Frankly speaking, if it wasn’t for him intentionally exposing flaws, it wouldn’t have been so easy to grasp all the evidence against him.

The reason he acted this way is also out of helplessness—whether for the country or for his family—he can only choose this path, with the premise being that he still possesses a heart belonging to a Chinese.”

”I see...” Luo Ye nodded, ”A single misstep becomes an eternal regret, looking back it’s already a lifetime; compared to eternity and a lifetime, he chose the latter.”

Ye Xuan pondered and smiled, ”Ye’er’s description is very interesting and quite fitting.” He then pulled her close, ”Ye’er, I know I am not as clever as Feng Tianzhi by nature.

Our competition, from birth, has always been a restraint between good and evil. We were destined to be different from ordinary people.

Certain things are not sought by people but thrust upon them. For a happy future for us, I will balance personal and public interests to the best of my abilities. Can Ye’er understand?”

”Being poor, one takes care of oneself; being capable, one also helps the world.” Luo Ye smiled sweetly, ”It is better to enjoy happiness with a group than alone. Acting within our capabilities is also our mission, I understand.

However, from what you’ve just said, I think Vice Chairman Lin is, broadly speaking, not that bad, right? What about his sentence this time?”

”Lifetime, I guess.” Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered, ”I understand Ye’er’s feelings; to be specific, his merits outweigh his faults, but, once the path is wrong, responsibilities must be borne, right?”

”I understand, I am not feeling sorry for him, just...” Luo Ye scratched her head in distress, ”I can’t quite figure out what my mindset is.”

Luo Family’s experiences in the previous life, at the end of the day, Lin Tingtao could be considered the chief culprit, with Liu Zhengxing merely the executor, yet she couldn’t really bring herself to hate Lin Tingtao.

This feeling made her feel guilty, although she had thought before to forget the past hatreds, but when considerate specifically, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

”Ye’er, this only shows that you have a kind heart...” Ye Xuan affectionately stroked her nose, ”I won’t persuade this matter, I trust you to figure it out clearly. Go ahead, Director Lei and General Xia should be done by now.”

Luo Ye hesitated and asked, ”Does this mean that, starting from today, Fierce Tiger and Team A are under the same authority again?”

”Basically, yes. When No.1 agreed to establish Fierce Tiger, it was Director Lei who persuaded him, and it was agreed that after the matter concluded, Director Lei would take over.”

Luo Ye eagerly stared at him: ”What about the system? Is it still like before? Will my freedom be taken back?”

”This is not a game of house, how can things revert arbitrarily? The Fierce Tiger ranks slightly higher than Team A; the allocation of tasks is the same as before, rest assured.” Ye Xuan chuckled as he touched her head, ”Unexpectedly, our precious Ye’er also has worries.”

”Cut, I’m also an ordinary person, longing for freedom.” Luo Ye pondered a bit, looking uneasy, ”According to the rules, military personnel cannot engage in commercial activities.

Now, the shares in Wenxin Garden and Grandpa’s family’s side have always been inherent inheritances, no problem there, but, would I have to give up the shares from Young Master Qu?”

”General Xia’ai and Director Lei have specifically researched your situation, according to regulations indeed it’s not allowed, but you have an amulet—that the nursing home is essentially charitable. So, your case is an exception; as long as you do not get directly involved in management, there will be no issues.”

”That’s a relief.” Luo Ye pouted, ”If not for my love for military life, just these rules alone could have scared me off.”

Ye Xuan affectionately pinched her rosy cheeks, ”It’s still not too late to run away, I’ve always said, you don’t need to work so hard.”

A female military officer coming up saw Ye Xuan’s action and stammered a greeting, ”Ye... Captain Ye, hello.”

”Hello.” Ye Xuan nodded politely, continuing forward with Luo Ye in his arms.

The female soldier’s mouth was wide open, and she took a while to snap back to reality.

”Zhang Hong, what’s the matter?” A woman nearby came over and asked in surprise, looking at her.

”Ye... Ye Xuan...” Zhang Hong pointed at Ye Xuan’s back stammeringly, ”Actually... actually walking with a girl, and... and pinching her face.”

”You’re really out of the loop, aren’t you?” The woman curled her lip, ”It’s been known in the team for a long time that she’s Ye Xuan’s fiancée, and Ye Xuan really dotes on her.”

Zhang Hong looked at her in astonishment: ”Yingzi, are you... are you saying Ye Xuan has a girlfriend now?”

”Why are you looking so shocked?” Yingzi frowned, ”Zhang Hong, you don’t still have designs on Ye Xuan, do you? I’ve advised you before, he’s not someone we should daydream about.”

”Who said I was interested, I’m just admiring him, okay?” Zhang Hong argued with a blush, ”It’s like being a fan of a celebrity; you always hope your idol is single, and even if they someday have a partner, the partner should have shining qualities that match them.”

”Ugh, that’s none of your concern,” Yingzi knocked her on the head, ”You better focus on how you could get into the Fierce Tiger instead, let me tell you, the freedom, power, and honor in Fierce Tiger is much more solid than chasing celebrities.”

”Are you being worldly?” Zhang Hong glanced at her but then leaned in closer, ”Any insider news?”

”What kind of insider news do you want?” Yingzi gave her a side glance, ”You say you aren’t foolish, but higher-level selections like these have no insiders; it’s a straightforward competition.

However, I heard our captain is temporarily Feng Tianzhi. After a year, there will be a collective election for a three-year term. The vice-captain will be publicly selected after next March.

Of course, our first task is to do everything we can to get into the Fierce Tiger and become a true member of Fierce Tiger. Let’s go, the meeting is starting.”

...

In the large conference room.

General Xia Keming and Vice Army Commander Lei Dawei were seated at the central position on the stage, with Jiang Zheng, Ye Xuan, Feng Tianzhi, Ye Mo, and Li Songtian (core members of Team A) sitting beside them.

The first row behind the last five rows of Team A members had Luo Ye and seven other team members, four men and three women.

Xia Keming scanned the room and smiled lightly: ”Everyone probably knows why this meeting is called. From today, the Fierce Tiger and Team A are one family.

Members of Team A are free to apply for Fierce Tiger, as long as you meet cultural and physical standards. Team A will unconditionally release you. Now Vice Army Commander Lei will introduce the current members of Fierce Tiger.”

Lei Dawei stood up and cleared his throat: ”When I name the comrades, please stand up and let everyone recognize you. First, the temporary captain of Fierce Tiger is Lieutenant Colonel Feng Tianzhi, serving a term of one year.

After one year, all members of Fierce Tiger will compete for the captain position for a three-year term. As long as you work hard and have the capability, the position could fall on your shoulders.”

Feng Tianzhi wore a lazy smile: ”Hello everyone, I’m Feng Tianzhi, and I’m glad to hold this position. My temperament is probably known to most of you.

Here, there are no personal favors, no gender distinction. If you can’t adapt, better quit early to avoid future troubles.”

Everyone was nonplussed; indeed, Feng Tianzhi was just like his nickname ”Madman”.

Lei Dawei’s mouth twitched as he continued introducing: ”Apart from Captain Feng, there are eight confirmed members of Fierce Tiger. They include Luo Ye, 17 years old, a freshman at GF University. During the selection of Team A, he performed exceptionally well and solved a major criminal case, earning a First-class Merit.

Luo Ye has an exceptional language talent, proficient in four languages: Chinese, English, French, and Japanese, and is highly skilled in computer operations, making him a rare talent urgently required by Fierce Tiger.”

A murmur arose from the audience, just a freshman, just 17 years old, how could he be proficient in so many languages? Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?

Luo Ye turned around facing everyone: ”I’m Luo Ye, glad to be a member of Fierce Tiger. Regarding being proficient in four languages, as Vice Army Commander Lei mentioned, I’d say I’m merely familiar.”

The crowd’s expression relaxed; just as they thought, at this age, it could hardly be called proficient, acknowledging familiarity might even be a stretch, it’s probably just knowing a few words in a couple of languages, yeah, that must be it.

Luo Ye’s lips curled playfully; if she told them the languages she actually mastered, would their jaws drop?
