Chapter 42: Alice's Feelings

  Sun Fan listened to Zhuo Yi's words and didn't know how to respond. He quietly watched as the new recruits boarded the Kunpeng, one after another, without saying a word.

  Jiang Yurou finally boarded the Kunpeng, but Sun Fan still didn't respond to Zhuo Yi's words. He simply said: "Let's go." Then he got into the cockpit of the Kunpeng and sat in the back seat, looking out the window at the sea.

  As she boarded the Kunpeng, Zhuo Yi turned back to look at Sun Fan, seeing a sudden depth in his eyes that was filled with anxiety. She couldn't help but take a deep breath as well. She had never seen Sun Fan like this before, and what was most hateful was that she couldn't say or do anything about it.

  "Alright, let's take off," Zhuo Yi said to Zhao Neng.

  "......" Zhao Neng wanted to say something, but his words reached the tip of his tongue and were swallowed back again.

  He raised his hand to flip the power switch, and all the instrument pointers moved a little before quickly returning to zero. The rotor slowly began to rotate, and once all flight parameters were adjusted, Zhao Neng made a takeoff gesture towards the signalman.

  Seeing Zhao Neng's gesture, the signalman's green fluorescent stick in his hand fell flat, indicating that Zhao Neng should take off to the left and turn around.

  Following the signalman's instructions, Zhao Neng slowly raised the total rectangle. This time, his movements were very gentle, completely different from the last time he brought Qiu Lin and others back to the base.

  Kunpeng slowly rose from the 157 aircraft carrier's apron, only its body trembling constantly, letting all new pilots know that Kunpeng was rising. Not even Kunpeng knew when it would drop its head, because Zhao Neng was too cautious this time.

  Zhuo Yi looked at the dashboard displaying a flight speed of only thirty kilometers per hour, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Neng in surprise, asking: "Zhao Neng, why are you flying so slowly? This isn't like you."

  Zhao Nai smiled wryly, not turning his head to look at Zhuo Yi, and replied: "Although I don't know what happened, judging from Sun Lao Da's worried face, I can guess that something serious has happened. And it must be related to the new flight behind."

  Zhao Neng guessed something and Zhuo Yi couldn't help but smile, saying: "Not bad, indeed the nephew of Commander Zhao, this kid's thoughts are quite clever."

  Listening to Zhuo Yi's praise, Zhao Neng shook his head and replied: "This afternoon, they just experienced aerial combat, with so many special moves, their bodies must be unbearable. Many people came down and ran straight to the toilet to vomit. This afternoon is a psychological test, they have undergone another test psychologically. So, I think it's better to fly steadily, let them not suffer so much."

  Zhuo Yi didn't expect Zhao to consider things so thoroughly. However, she had no idea that Zhao did this with ulterior motives for Qiu Lin, and the others were just benefiting from Qiu Lin's aura.

  However, Zhao Neng's words made Sun Fan, who was leaning against the window looking outside, immediately turn his head back and say with a sudden realization: "Zhao Neng, you reminded me, their physical strength is too poor!"

  Zhuo Yi looked at Sun Fan with a hint of suspicion, as if expecting him to come up with another one of his crazy ideas. Sure enough, before Zhuo Yi could even ask what he meant, Sun Fan muttered to himself: "As soon as we get back, the first thing I'm going to do is take it out for a spin!"

  "Run wild?" Zhuo Yi asked, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.

  "Exactly! You have to know that the morning of Zhanjiang, the beach is the most breathtaking view that can't be missed!" With that, Sun Fan smiled and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

  Sun Fan's intention was that Zhuo Yi immediately understood, this is deliberately giving Alice the opportunity to get in touch with Xin Fei!

  This move is too risky, and if one link goes wrong, the new Fei will be ruined for life! But if we don't do this, and don't take the initiative to face the problem, being secretly contacted by the new Fei would have even more severe consequences.

  A sense of walking on thin ice suddenly arose in Zhuo Yi's heart, which made her feel uneasy with a sigh.

  Zhao couldn't help but find the sudden change in the two people's mood somewhat amusing and smiled slightly. However, he didn't ask anything and simply gently manipulated the Kunpeng to head back to the training base.

  At this time, in the seaside room of the Haokun Hotel, Alice, who was sleeping on the bed, woke up.

  The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to turn her head and look at Chen Bin, seeing that his complexion had improved slightly, and she couldn't help but smile.

  Her hand was a bit numb, she gently put Chen Bin's right hand into the quilt, then shook her arm and slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking up at the distant military port with lights on, as if in thought.

  "How did Chen Bin end up here?" This was the first question that came to Alice's mind at this moment.

  In memory, Chen Bin was a special soldier belonging to the 38th Army of China and was an elite amphibious warrior, but now he appeared in the South Sea Fleet.

  "And how did he become an opponent of the South Sea Fleet and get beaten up by the soldiers of the South Sea Fleet?" Alice thought, turning her head back, her eyebrows furrowed in a concentrated gaze at Chen Bin, feeling that something was not quite right.

  Suddenly, Alice shifted her gaze to Chen Bin's coat, and the inner pocket that was exposed on the outside should have something in it.

  Taking advantage of Chen Bin still being unconscious, Alice quietly approached and took out the things in Chen Bin's coat pocket.

  "What is this thing?"

  Opening the folded penalty notice twice, Alice was shocked by what she saw in front of her, and even muttered: "Expelled from the army and the party!" She knew that for a soldier who had won honors for the country, this meant what kind of blow.

  Now, Alice finally understood why Chen Bin would launch a crazy attack on her in the hall. Seeing herself was to remind Chen Bin of the international martial arts competition and the honor she had once enjoyed. But now, being expelled from the military and the party, such a fall, any soldier with dignity could not accept it.

  But Alice looked at the penalty notice and smiled softly again.

  Although it was cruel for Chen Bin to confront the Chinese People's Liberation Army, which he had devoted his youth to, Alice was willing to do so not only for her mission but also to avenge herself for the person she had been waiting to reunite with.

  Thinking of this, Alice quietly put the penalty notice back into Chen Bin's pocket, but intentionally left it exposed.

  She didn't want to take the initiative to tell Chen Bin about this matter, but she believed that as an excellent scout, Chen Bin would understand her meaning.

  Her stomach growled at this moment, because she missed the best dinner time to treat Chen Bin's injury. Looking at the time, it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening, and only night markets had food now.

  Alice opened the door and was surprised to find Hei Zai and his younger brothers standing at the entrance.

  Hei Zi finally walked out of the room and hurriedly asked: "Is he okay?"

  Alice didn't expect Hei Zi to care about Chen Bin's comfort, and she couldn't help but frown at Hei Zi, showing a kind of distrust.

  Alice looked at Kuroko with a different gaze, and Kuroko immediately smiled and whispered in Alice's ear: "I know, you think his skills are not bad and want to recruit him for yourself, that's why you're so concerned."

  "It seems you still have some brains." Alice saw that Hei had somewhat guessed her thoughts, and couldn't help but smile. She immediately said: "Since you know my intentions, how do you plan to take care of him?"

  "With such great skills, of course, he deserves a high position! This position can't be given to him, but the second-in-command chair of the Black Shark Gang is completely fine for him!"

  Alice didn't think Hei Zi would actually give such a high position to Chen Bin, but this isn't bad either. As long as he becomes the second-in-command of the Black Shark Gang, Chen Bin will have a backer in Zhanjiang and won't be bullied by the South Sea Fleet again. More importantly, when Chen Bin goes on missions, someone will cover his back, which is the most important thing.

  Alice smiled and raised her hand to hold onto Hei's arm, saying in a spoiled tone: "Darling, I'm hungry."

  "Hungry? No problem! What do you want to eat, I'll have someone make it for you!" As he spoke, Hei Zi reached out and gently stroked Alice's hand, his face beaming with a smile as he headed towards the elevator.

  In the room, Chen Bin listened to the sound of the door being closed and suddenly opened his eyes.

  Alice had already seen the notice of punishment, and Chen Bin couldn't help but smile triumphantly. Moreover, he also heard even better news - that he was about to become the second leader of the Black Shark Gang, which would make it easier for him to find out what Alice's true purpose was in coming here.

  However, Chen Bin felt that even if Hei Zi had given himself a high position so readily, he must be on his guard against him in his heart. Therefore, after gaining Alice's sympathy, the first thing to do next was to gain Hei Zi's trust.

  But how can I get the situation here into Sun's hands? Chen Bin thought for half a day, and unintentionally turned his head to see the military port outside the window, and suddenly smiled.

  Getting out of bed, Chen Bin first looked around downstairs to see if Alice was nearby.

  After confirming that Alice had gone far away, Chen Bin quickly climbed over the wall to the neighboring sea-view room and signaled three short and three long signals towards the military port with his flashlight. He knew that at this moment, his own soldier, First Lieutenant Xia Ai, was on night watch duty.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after three signals, a response of three short and three long signals was sent back from the woods on the military port side.

  "Everything is going smoothly, I will become the second-in-command of the Black Shark Gang and have gained Alice's trust."

  "Monitor, be careful with everything."

  "Received!" Seeing Xiao Ai had already received the information, Chen Bin quickly turned off his flashlight.

  The sound of the door opening at this moment made him hastily climb back to Alice's room balcony, hiding his flashlight in the back of his waist and walking back into the room. He asked the black shark helper who had just walked in: "What are you doing?"

  When he saw Chen Bin, Xiao Di knew that the person in front of him was about to become his second boss. He bowed respectfully and said: "Second master, this is a bowl of clear broth that my sister asked me to bring to you. She told me to wait until you wake up before leaving, now that you're awake, I'll take my leave." With that, Xiao Di put down the bowl of clear broth in his hand and exited the room.

  Looking at the clear porridge on the table, Chen Bin let out a sigh of relief. He was afraid that it would be Alice who came back. Hiding his flashlight, Chen Bin patted his empty stomach and walked to the table, wolfing down half of the porridge in big gulps.

  However, it wasn't until he lowered his head that he discovered a note in the takeout bag with words of concern written by Alice in English: "Plain porridge is good for recovery. Also, I'm just using Heizi to do things for me, don't overthink it." After reading it, Chen Bin smiled lightly, but then took a deep breath, crumpled up the note and threw it into the trash can.
