Li Chunbo handed the work at hand to Li Zheng, who frowned in protest, saying, "Why should I help you? I'm not getting paid any extra for this!"
Li Chunbo smiled and replied, "Who said you aren't getting paid extra? Our salary is zero; even if you did get an extra share, it would still be zero, right?"
Li Zheng's nose crinkled in irritation as he bitterly retorted, "Just get lost and let me have some peace!"
Li Chunbo quickly ran out of the office and followed Chen Rui to the elevator. Before long, they arrived at the staff dormitory.
"Teacher Chen, what is this?" Li Chunbo asked uneasily, sensing something unusual.
Chen Rui smiled at him and advised, "Relax and take a deep breath."
Li Chunbo exhaled deeply, but just as he prepared to inhale again, he suddenly felt someone behind him cover his mouth with a damp cloth.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Chen Rui, and slowly, he drifted into unconsciousness.
"Damn it! At this rate, we're getting further down the path of human trafficking," Ruan Yu joked as he carried the unconscious Li Chunbo.
Gao Zhijie laughed heartily and patted Ruan Yu on the chest. "Once you get fired, you can do this for a living to support yourself. I have high hopes for you, young man!"
"Get lost," Ruan Yu pretended to kick Gao Zhijie, startling him into taking a step back. He then turned to Chen Rui and asked, "What now? Are you going to arrange a military camp life for him like yours?"
Chen Rui paused for a moment before shaking his head. "Just a military camp life would only fulfill his wishes. Our responsibility is to ensure they grow, so merely having a military camp experience isn't enough."
Ruan Yu stopped walking and asked seriously, "What do you mean?"
Chen Rui nodded and continued, "Yes, we need to involve him in a simulated war."
Ruan Yu chuckled wryly. "You know as well as I do that Zhuo Rohan didn't realize it was a dream because Li Li's data is so rich. We could easily simulate a real Li Li while the other supporting characters wouldn't matter much to Zhuo Rohan. But military camps and wars are completely different; we haven't recorded much military information, let alone war scenarios. Plus, we don't have anyone who's actually been on the battlefield to assist with the dream."
Chen Rui smiled lightly and asked in return, "If you don't have it, then who do I not have?"
Ruan Yu and Gao Zhijie were taken aback, unable to understand how Chen Rui had managed to connect with those ten-year veteran soldiers. Even if there was a connection, it seemed unlikely that those old gentlemen would travel such a long distance to assist them with their mission.
It wasn't entirely their fault for thinking this way; most people believed that anyone who had been on the battlefield at this point must have participated in the Vietnam War. After all, China hadn't engaged in any substantial wars since then.
Even the Five O'Clock War was merely an obscure secret resolution, with only a handful of special forces members truly involved in combat.
Chen Rui instructed Ruan Yu and Gao Zhijie to place Li Chunbo in the connecting room and then to hide his memories from this period without performing any further actions, allowing him to remain asleep.
After watching Ruan Yu and Gao Zhijie lift Li Chunbo, Chen Rui took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and called the entry labeled Fan Yu.
"Colonel Fan! I need to talk to you about something. Is this a good time?" Chen Rui said with a smile.
Fan Yu was somewhat surprised that Chen Rui would take the initiative to call him. After all, their relationship was strictly professional, and as far as Fan Yu knew, Chen Rui didn't have any relatives in the military. Therefore, it seemed unlikely that he would trouble him for any assistance, given that his own authority was limited.
Snapping back to reality, Fan Yu realized he had been overthinking why Chen Rui was calling him and had neglected to address him directly. It felt inappropriate, so he decided it was better to ask what the matter was. "Oh, Chen Team Leader, what can I do for you?"
Chen Rui chuckled mischievously and got straight to the point. "Are your subordinates—Mu... Elephant General and Tiger—still on leave?"
Upon hearing Chen Rui inquire about the special forces members, Fan Yu became cautious. Even though they were both part of a central unit, special forces operated under strict confidentiality; any information could not be casually disclosed.
"Well," Fan Yu said with an awkward smile, "Chen Team Leader, it's not that I don't want to help; it's just that I can't. You know our identities; we have to adhere to confidentiality regulations."
Chen Rui noticed Fan Yu's reluctance to share information and quickly clarified, "Brother Fan, there's no need for all that. In fact, I happened to see them a few days ago and know they are on leave. However, I currently need a few high-quality professional soldiers who have seen combat to assist with a dream mission. I'm not trying to make things convenient for myself."
Seeing that Fan Yu remained silent, Chen Rui continued, "This matter was originally supposed to be reported up the chain of command by me. But you know how slow procedures can be, and we're pressed for time. So please just give me a clear answer: are they still on leave? If they are, could you let them know they can come help me in a private capacity?"
Fan Yu sighed. Although he agreed with Chen Rui's reasoning, it was clearly not the proper way to proceed. If it were Chen Rui's superior approaching him, or if the request had come through the correct channels, he would have been more inclined to comply.
Moreover, Chen Rui's words did bring him some comfort: a truly high-quality professional soldier was indeed the best title for a warrior.
Chen Rui sensed Fan Yu's hesitation and continued, "Brother Fan, I understand that you always adhere to the rules, but in urgent situations, we must be flexible. Besides, we are also a confidential unit, even classified as top secret. Our level of confidentiality is no less than yours. If it were an unidentified person asking for help, we wouldn't dare to use them. Let's consider this a private assistance; after all, we are all working for our country and should help each other."
Fan Yu chuckled bitterly; he was indeed swayed by Chen Rui. After all, they were not outsiders, and the level of confidentiality was indeed very high. He decided to turn a blind eye this time and help out as a personal favor.
"Alright, alright. I'll contact them right now, but I don't know where they’ve gone off to, so I can't guarantee when they'll arrive at your place."
Seeing that Fan Yu had agreed, Chen Rui was very pleased. He immediately spoke into his phone, "Great! Brother Fan, I'll send you the address now. This place isn't open to just anyone; I'll be waiting at the entrance for them. Please urge them to hurry!"
Fan Yu laughed heartily. "Chen, you’re taking advantage of me while pretending to be polite! Truly worthy of being a businessman working for the country. Alright then, I’ll contact them right away."
"Thank you!" Chen Rui hung up the phone and looked up at the top of the staff dormitory with a faint smile.
Although Elephant General and his team were on leave, they were still required to remain within Beijing due to their high-profile identities and security classifications. Any issues that arose could lead to serious consequences.
Having grown weary of the city's nightlife, Elephant General and his team were currently driving a Hongqi L5 along the outer ring road of Beijing. The car's license plate and model deterred traffic police from stopping their reckless driving.
While sitting in the passenger seat, Elephant General's phone rang. The group immediately pulled over onto the emergency lane of the ring road and held their breath as they waited for him to answer.
Typically, no one knew Elephant General's personal phone number except for his direct superior—Fan Yu. Therefore, this call could only be from Fan Yu, and such calls usually meant one thing—an urgent mission.
"Finally, this tedious vacation can come to an end," Lion Brother sighed as he relaxed against the back seat.
Elephant General answered the call and hung up less than ten seconds later. Unlike usual, a smile appeared on his face—a sight that was impossible during previous urgent mission calls.
This also made everyone start to wonder what this call was really about.
"Attention! Emergency mission begins now. All members of the Beast Team are to proceed to the staff dormitory at Jinghua University to assist Team Leader Chen in completing the dream mission," Elephant General said with a smile.
A command without a number is not a command, so even though this was labeled as an 'emergency mission,' it was likely just that Team Leader Chen needed their help.
They were surprised at how Team Leader Chen had managed to get Fan Yu to agree to let them carry out this mission, especially since it wasn't an official task and they were still on vacation.
"What are you thinking? Aren't you bored? Isn't this something to do? I reckon this will take at least a month, and it will definitely be interesting. Why are you still sitting there? Get driving!" Tiger urged, nudging White Wolf, who was sitting in the driver's seat, excitedly.
The Fox chuckled wryly, "I just hope he doesn't create a scenario like last time."
Everyone laughed. After submitting the last mission report, the Fox had unexpectedly caught the attention of their leader and ended up undergoing professional training, preparing for when they might need a 'female Special Forces' operative in the future!
White Wolf remained calm, quietly saying, "Buckle up."
With a push on the gas pedal, the Hongqi Ls5 shot out of the city like an arrow, heading towards Jinghua University, which was ten kilometers away.
