Chapter 23: Psychological Knots

  Wu Yaoling's expression was sorrowful, her fingers gently stroking the photo in her hand with a hesitant and lingering motion, filled with regret and longing.

  Several people in the monitoring room saw this and couldn't help but exchange glances, falling silent.

  "Zoom in on the screen and capture the content of that photo!" Cang Lang pointed to the photo, saying to Da Hu Lang in front of the computer. The latter's fingers kept tapping, slowly capturing the content of the photo.

  Before long, a smiling face of a sweet and lovely girl appeared on the surveillance screen. Although the picture was already somewhat yellowish and blurry, it could be vaguely seen that the girl's cheeks were white and tender.

  "The girl's photo has been tucked into his chest, and it seems to be the knot in his heart." The big gray wolf stared intently at the surveillance screen, rubbing his chin with one hand, looking like a profound connoisseur.

  "This is no nonsense!" Sima Lei turned back and glared fiercely, scaring the big gray wolf into shrinking its neck, giving a awkward smile, and quickly becoming serious.

  On the side, the wolf saw the situation and his serious expression also relaxed, he smiled and said: "Since we know where the problem lies, then we only need to treat the symptoms, solve his problem, and his psychological problems will naturally be resolved."

  "I'm afraid it's not that simple!" The Big Gray Wolf couldn't help but interrupt, and Sima Lei and Cang Lang heard this, their eyes sank involuntarily, and they glared at him in unison, their deep gaze filled with annoyance, making the Big Gray Wolf feel a chill run down his spine.

  "Uh...I'll just go out and take a leak, you guys chat, chat first..." The big gray wolf was shocked and quickly made an excuse to slip away from the monitoring room, disappearing without a trace.

  "Shut up!" Sima Lei gritted his teeth, this damn thing always liked to stir up trouble.

  "It seems that it's necessary to get things in order!" The gray wolf also said with a cold smile, and Sima Lei nodded in deep agreement.

  He cut off a few words, and the wolf immediately took a screenshot of the girl's photo on the screen, saved it to the archive, and loaded it onto a storage card. He then turned his head to look at Sima Lei and said: "I'll go to the commander's file room for a trip, check out this girl's information."

  After finishing speaking, Cang Lang hastily left the monitoring room. As he walked out of the door, he happened to run into Shen Hongying who was walking from outside.

  "Hmm... Tutor." Cang Lang smiled wryly, his eyes becoming slightly more serious. At this time, that woman had indeed arrived.

  "I'm looking for Instructor Sima Lei!" Shen Hongying was as calm and collected as ever.

  "He's inside! He's in there!" The wolf hastily stepped aside and gestured with his hand.

  "Thank you!" Shen Hongying said with a thank you, and walked straight past the side of Cang Lang into the monitoring room. The latter saw this, silently shook his head.

  I just hope things won't get too bad!

  He let out a low sigh and left the monitoring room with large strides, like a wolf running under the stars.

  In the monitoring room, Sima Lei turned off the surveillance video and was adjusting the screen to monitor the training ground when he heard footsteps coming from the doorway behind him.

  "Is there anything else I've forgotten?" Sima Lei mistakenly thought it was Cang Lang returning, and asked without even turning his head.

  "Captain Sima Lei!" Shen Hongying's voice was cold and stern, her brow furrowed in concern. Sima Lei's hand trembled at the sound of his name, nearly dropping the remote control he held. He turned around abruptly, meeting Shen Hongying's chilly gaze head-on.

  Good grief, it's like they say: what you fear most will come to pass.

  Simar Lei's heart wailed, and he hastily stood up from his chair, not noticing the cold sweat on his forehead. He pointed to the seat next to him with a smile: "So it was the counselor who came, sit down, hurry up!"

  Shen Hongying sat down as she was told, her clear and cold eyes swept over Sima Lei, and she was about to open her mouth to speak. But then the latter suddenly stood up again, with a flattering smile on his face, asking: "Teacher, would you like something to drink? Coke or orange juice? Or maybe just plain water, this stuff has high nutritional value..."

  While speaking, without waiting for Shen Hongying's response, Sima Lei hastily turned around to pour a cup of boiling water, walked slowly back to the chair, and handed it over with a smile.

  "Thank you!" Shen Hongying nodded and took it over. Sima Lei smiled and didn't dare to respond.

  Shen Hongying took over the teacup, lightly sipped a mouthful, and then raised her head again to look at Sima Lei and said: "Sima Lei Lieutenant Colonel, I..."

  "Hmm, I know! The counselor must have come here for a reason today, right? Let me guess what it is." As soon as Shen Hongying finished speaking, Sima Lei hastily raised his palm and interrupted her. He raised one finger, with the air of a wise person, pretending to think.

  Shen Hongying looked at Sima Lei with a calm and collected expression, but a hint of unusual color flashed in her clear eyes. She felt that the latter's attitude today was somewhat out of the ordinary.

  "Captain Sima Lei..." Shen Hongying called out, about to speak, but saw Sima Lei wave his hand with a faint smile and say nonchalantly: "No need for the instructor to say it, I've already guessed your intention today. I know that as an instructor, being assigned by superiors comes with tasks and responsibilities that must be completed. I can understand and appreciate the instructor's impartial attitude, meticulous and conscientious."

  "So, as for the instructor's responsibilities, I will not hinder them, but instead strongly support and fully cooperate with their work." Sima Lei's words were sincere and moved Shen Hongying deeply, who nodded in agreement, visibly touched.

  "Thank you!" Shen Hongying softly thanked him, causing Sima Lei's eyelids to slightly raise, but in his heart he was greatly dissatisfied.

  What should I do? What should I say next?

  Simalei's heart was filled with anxiety, constantly thinking of a countermeasure, and secretly scolding the big gray wolf until it was speechless. It's all because of that crow's mouth, whatever it says comes true.

  "Captain Sima, I came today..." The two fell silent for a moment. Seeing that Captain Sima had nothing to say, Shen Hongying's expression turned serious and she opened her mouth to speak.

  As soon as Shen Hongying opened her mouth, Sima Lei's heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, he raised his hand to stop her again and said with a smile: "I know what the counselor means today, don't worry, I will fully cooperate with the counselor's work and ensure that the counselor can complete the task smoothly."

  "Although we have never cooperated before, we are all soldiers and comrades-in-arms. We must support and help each other. If instructors need any assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. All members of our special forces Wolf Tooth Sharp Blade Assault Team will provide the greatest support to the instructors."

  Simarui smiled all over his face, speaking with great enthusiasm and emotion. He glanced at Shen Hongying with a smile, paused for a moment, then continued: "That, our special forces..."

  "Halt!"

  Listening to Sima Lei's lengthy argument, Shen Hongying suddenly stood up and raised her hand to interrupt him. Before he could react, she said in a cold tone: "Captain Sima, please listen to me for one sentence!"
