Zhang Rui had no idea what to do.

She subconsciously looked at Chu Yue, hoping that she could speak up for her.

But Chu Yue could not even take care of herself, so how could she have the time to care about Zhang Yue?

Zhang Rui could only fall back into her chair in a daze and endure the strange gazes of the others.

According to the bet, once Yue Ming lost, she would have to withdraw from the army. This was what she had promised back then. If she went back on her word, even if she was lucky enough to stay, others would look down on her.

No one could save her now.

Zhang Rui was so nervous that her entire body was trembling. She was already in a daze as she sat on the chair.

In a flash, she suddenly thought of her arrangements just now, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes.

“Shi Man, if you really don’t let me off today, 1 definitely won’t let you have an easy time!”

The assessment quickly came to an end. At this moment, the sky had completely darkened. The students were already so tired that they wished they could lie on the ground and sleep, but they knew that today’s matter was not over.

In the center of the training ground, Yue Ming and Cheng Luo were surrounded in the middle. One of them was so gloomy that his face seemed to be darker than the night, but the other was smiling.

The female soldier who was very close to Cheng Luo smiled and placed her hand on her shoulder. She looked at the man opposite her with a smile. “Why? Hurry up and retire from the army. Are you trying to go back on your word?”

Yue Ming gritted his teeth and said fiercely, “Do you dare to say that you didn’t cheat with Instructor Shi?”

Cheng Luo frowned. “Do you have to say that someone cheated after losing? Is this an excuse that male chauvinists always use?”

Yue Ming’s expression darkened as he argued, “This is a reasonable suspicion. Who knows if Instructor Shi secretly taught you behind my back? Otherwise, why wouldn’t I know what you know?”

“Because you’re stupid.” The female soldier shook her head proudly. “All of us underwent the same training. You have poor comprehension. Do you have to blame others? If you’re a man, hurry up and admit defeat. Don’t waste time!”

“You!” Yue Ming couldn’t win against her. He snorted and turned his head away. “Alright, I’ll apologize to you, okay! But you have to promise me that you’ll compete with me in the next assessment!”

“Do you have another assessment?” Cheng Luo sneered sarcastically.

So what if they competed again?

If she could win the first time with her own strength, she could naturally keep winning!

However, Yue Ming had promised that he would retire from the army if he lost!

Now, he actually wanted to brush it off with an apology!

“Very good.” Yue Ming narrowed his eyes dangerously and said coldly, “I’ve already thought highly of you by apologizing to you. Do you really want to force me to retire from the army? Don’t be naive! It’s not so easy to retire from the army!”

Once he was discharged from the army, he would be considered a deserter. He had to bear the stigma for the rest of his life.

Losing to a woman was already humiliating enough. If he became a deserter because of her, how could he survive in the future?

Cheng Luo frowned slightly and asked unhappily, “Then are you going to go back on your word?”

The female soldier beside her couldn’t stand it anymore and scolded arrogantly, “Yue Ming, let me ask you. If the person who lost today was Cheng Luo, can you be willing to let Cheng Luo off?”

A moment of hesitation flashed across Yue Ming’s eyes.

The female soldier sneered and said, “I’m afraid you’ll use the words ‘women really don’t keep their promises’ to force Cheng Luo to leave, right? Yue Ming, can you not have such double standards for your self-righteous chauvinism? Why, can you go back on your word after losing? Do women have to be obedient?”

Yue Ming’s face darkened. “Then what do you think we should do?”

“Here we go again.” The female soldier pursed her lips speechlessly. “When you can’t think of a good solution to a problem, you throw the problem to a woman. If we ask you to retire according to your promise, you would just say that we’re unreasonable. We just have to follow your thoughts, right? Retiring from the military is your business now. Why don’t you think of a way for yourself now?”

Yue Ming’s face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said, “It’s fine if you want me to retire from the army. I’ll submit an application to my superiors now, but if the higher-ups don’t agree, 1 can’t do anything!”

The female soldier sneered impatiently. “Do you really think you’re some treasure? Why must others rush to keep you?”

Yue Ming narrowed his eyes and snorted. He turned around and left.

The training ground fell silent again.

Only then did Shi Man move.

She slowly stood up from the chair and slowly walked to the back of the crowd. She raised her hand and grabbed someone’s collar, throwing the trembling person into the center of the crowd. Her lips curled into a mocking smile. “Then what about you? Instructor Zhang, is it your turn to keep your promise?”

Zhang Rui forced herself not to be embarrassed in front of her.

But now that things had come to this, she could not stop the anxiety in her heart.

She looked at the crowd as if she was asking for help. Only then did she realize that Chu Yue had disappeared. Even Zhao Jing had disappeared.

The two of them had left.. Now that everything had fallen on her, Zhang Rui regretted her actions!
