Chapter 83: Mission, Acting and Saving People
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Outside, the argument continued, and Wang Ye quietly walked out of the bathroom.
The layout of this restroom was no different from a typical public restroom.
There were separate doors for men and women on both sides, with handwashing sinks and the main entrance outside.
He walked to the entrance of the men’s restroom.
Wang Ye still couldn’t see the guy who was about to jump off the building outside, but he could see a new recruit standing helplessly at the entrance of the restroom.
“Mission reminder: Save a life, gain seven levels of merit. Save the jumping recruit and earn two skill points.”
“What?” Wang Ye was taken aback by the sudden mission information in his mind at the entrance of the men’s restroom.
What was this about?
Saving a life?
Was the guy outside really going to die?
Wang Ye was originally planning to assess the situation first, or rather, he wasn’t prepared to do anything yet.
After all, the tone and intention of the new recruit didn’t seem like he really wanted to jump. He just wanted to see the company commander or make a big fuss to complain to higher authorities.
But now, with this mission from the system.
For a moment, Wang Ye started to feel a bit nervous.
His mind quickly turned.
It was definitely not feasible to rush out directly now.
If he remembered correctly, there was at least a three to four-meter distance from the restroom door to the window at the end of the corridor.
Although the distance was very short, and he could cross it with just a few steps.
But if he were to rush out directly, and the person outside got scared and jumped, then he, Wang Ye, would be doing more harm than good.
What should he do?
Wang Ye was racking his brain for ideas, while the soldier at the door hadn’t noticed him yet.
Well, his attention was fully focused on the person on the window ledge outside, so he didn’t have the attention to spare for what was behind him.
At the other end of the corridor, Ye Sanshi and the others were still there.
They had originally planned to wait for Wang Ye to finish using the restroom before going down together.
Unexpectedly, just as they waited for a while, they encountered such a situation.
“Squad leader, Wang Ye is still in the restroom,” Song Yuejin whispered as he approached.
“Okay.” Ye Sanshi didn’t even look at him, just responded with an “okay.”
Needless to say, he wasn’t forgetful. How could he not remember that his vice squad leader was still in the restroom.
“What’s going on? Who is it?” At this moment, someone ran up the stairs from the side.
It was Wu Jianfeng, with an anxious expression, accompanied by two captains that Ye Sanshi didn’t recognize.
They were the company commander and platoon leader of another new recruits’ company, whom the three of them knew.
They happened to encounter each other here today, chatting on the first floor, and heard that someone on the third floor was threatening to jump and see the company commander.
In an instant, all three of them were stunned.
While cursing inwardly, they were also worried that it might be one of their own soldiers.
Of course, it was a mess.
If it wasn’t their soldier, they would definitely be called in by their superiors for a discussion.
But if it was their soldier, they would be in big trouble.
To actually come to the direct-affiliated hospital of the division to threaten to jump and see the company commander.
They had never seen such a thing before, and they definitely didn’t want to see it.
Because it would become widely known.
The name of a new recruit might not be remembered, but it would be spread outside as “the new recruit from a certain battalion of a certain regiment, causing such trouble.”
Their future would be ruined.
Even if it wasn’t completely ruined, it would definitely be greatly affected.
And there was even the possibility of implicating their regiment commander, the political commissar…
“Captain, it’s not our soldier!” Ye Sanshi whispered in a low voice at this moment.
Of course, he didn’t need to say it, because all three of them had seen it.
At this moment, Wu Jianfeng and one of the captains’ faces relaxed slightly, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
But the other captain, the company commander, felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
His whole body trembled.
“Yan Hai!”
With a grim face, he stepped forward, pushing aside the people who had been queuing up but were now blocking the passage.
“You stop right there! Stand there! If you come any closer, I’ll jump, and if I jump, I’ll take you with me!”
At the window, clinging to the window frame, the recruit outside the window was shouting at the top of his lungs, pointing at the captain.
“It’s you! It’s you! What did you say about criticizing and educating, handling it seriously? And what happened in the end? You just said a few words to him during assembly, and then I was beaten again at night. Did you care? Don’t tell me you didn’t know, you deliberately condoned and protected him. I’m telling you, you are primarily responsible for this. When the company commander arrives, I will definitely report you!”
Inside the restroom, Wang Ye listened with his eyes wide open.
This…
Well, Wang Ye also figured something out.
The recruit must have been beaten during regular training, and he went to complain to the company commander.
After all, there were explicit regulations now that soldiers were not allowed to be physically abused or verbally humiliated in the military.
These things could be easily found online before the recruits entered.
And then the recruit stubbornly stuck to his point.
The squad leader beat him, he went to complain to the company commander, and then the squad leader was criticized by the company commander during assembly.
But in the end, the squad leader not only didn’t change but also beat him again at night.
And this time, he must have held it in.
He held it in until now, and when he arrived here, he exploded, taking the opportunity to threaten to jump from the window.
As for why he chose this place, Wang Ye guessed that he probably didn’t have a chance to go to a higher place.
After all, the other physical examinations were on the first and second floors. The first floor was out of the question, and if he clung to the window ledge on the second floor, it probably wouldn’t have any deterrence. He would be pulled back up as soon as he went up.
And as for other higher rooftops, the physical examinations this time were conducted by platoon, and this was the last one. After the examination, they would be leaving.
So even though it was only the third floor and seemed less intimidating, he had no other choice.
Thinking about this, Wang Ye suddenly came up with a solution.
Looking at the soldier at the door, he turned around.
When the soldier saw Wang Ye, he was slightly stunned to see someone else with him.
Wang Ye raised his hand and made a “shh” gesture.
Suddenly, Wang Ye approached him and shouted loudly, “Haha, my brother outside, well done! I support you! Damn it, I’ll join you too!”
As he spoke, Wang Ye reached out and pulled the stunned soldier at the door into the restroom.
Then he walked out himself.
“Brother, I support you! Damn it, I’m joining you! My squad leader beat me too. I complained to our company commander, but he didn’t do anything, and the squad leader continued to bully me.
Just the night before yesterday, I was sleeping soundly, and a few veteran soldiers rushed in, covered my head with a blanket, and beat me up. Afterward, they threatened me, saying that if I dared to complain again, they would break my legs.”
Wang Ye now had a face full of sorrow, standing at the entrance of the restroom, loudly shouting in a grieving and angry manner.
This situation directly shocked the soldier outside the window, who was clinging to the window frame, holding onto the window pillar, and his whole person outside.
Of course, he was stunned, but Wang Ye wasn’t.
At this moment, Wang Ye turned around, pointing to Ye Sanshi behind the crowd in the aisle.
“Ye Sanshi, Blackfaced Ye, you scoundrel, let me tell you, today I’m also joining in the madness. Oh, here comes the company commander too. Haha, you guys wait, I’m going all out today, even if I’m expelled, I’ll still make a complaint. I’m going all out!”
Wang Ye acted as if he were crazy, shouting with all his might.
After saying this, he turned around furiously.
For a moment, everyone on the third floor was in a state of confusion and astonishment.
Including Ye Sanshi and the members of the fifth squad, as well as Wu Jianfeng.
No one expected that a new problem would arise before the previous one was resolved.
One person threatening to jump to see the company commander was already bad enough, but now it had actually resonated…
“This… is he your soldier?” Wu Jianfeng, an officer, asked another captain who was standing next to him, speaking dryly.
With this sentence, Wu Jianfeng snapped out of his stupor.
Immediately, while pushing aside the people in front of him, he shouted, “Wang Ye, don’t be impulsive. Let’s talk about it. It hasn’t reached this point yet. I promise, I promise to punish Ye Sanshi later. Don’t be impulsive.”
Wu Jianfeng pushed his way through the crowd, shouting towards Wang Ye.
Wang Ye turned around and cursed, “Get lost, you bunch of scoundrels! I won’t believe you. I’m going all out today. Even if the company commander comes, I’m still jumping!”
After saying that, Wang Ye had already reached the window ledge.
Turning around, the soldier clinging to the window ledge was still in a state of shock.
He didn’t expect that his actions would actually stimulate others to make the same choice.
“Good, brother, don’t be afraid. We’re going all out together. Come up here… Ah! Why are you grabbing me?”
He didn’t even finish his words when he suddenly screamed in surprise.
At that moment, Wang Ye didn’t have the mood to say anything to him. He turned around and shouted, “Quick, someone help!”
In fact, he didn’t need to shout because the soldier’s platoon leader and squad leader, after being momentarily stunned, quickly rushed over after seeing the situation.
And behind them, Ye Sanshi, with a dark face, followed along, not to mention him, even the other captain who was with him also followed.
At this moment, the sudden turn of events left them bewildered.
But they quickly rushed up.
“Ah, you scoundrel, you tricked me…
Outside the window, the soldier who was grabbed by Wang Ye’s hand and leg was struggling, trying to kick Wang Ye away.
But it was useless. After kicking him, Wang Ye pulled his leg even harder.
For a while, he held onto the window frame tightly and refused to come in, but his hand and leg were still being pulled in by Wang Ye.
They were deadlocked in this position.
Of course, this was just the current situation.
In less than two seconds, Wu Jianfeng and the others rushed over.
Without any explanation, they came up and helped grab his hands and feet.
“Ah, get away… I won’t come down, I won’t come down…”
This person struggled fiercely, but it was futile.
With so many people rushing up, even if he held onto the window ledge with one hand and one foot, it was useless.
He was directly pried away, and his whole person was brought in
