Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 72: 072: Such talent

The previously high-spirited trainees of the New Student Camp were now somewhat dejected.

Lan Siming’s criticism seemed a bit harsh, undoubtedly reflecting his dissatisfaction with their performance in the drill.

They were originally the pride of heaven; how could they withstand such a blow...

Yet, they had no words to refute Lan Siming’s remarks, and some of the new trainees were obviously down in the dumps.

This kind of atmosphere gradually spread throughout the New Student Camp, unable to be calmed for a long time.

...

On the other side.

Lan Siming stood in the office hall of the First Class Training Camp, grabbing an assistant squad leader by the collar, demanding, "Tell me honestly, who on earth is this newcomer!"

Gu Tong’s matters were driving him crazy. He couldn’t decipher this female trainee and was eager to uncover her background.

The assistant squad leader was bewildered. Which newcomer? Who are you asking about? He couldn’t understand what was wrong with Lan Siming, why did he seem unable to articulate his words? Filled with doubts, he said, "Lan... Officer Lan... What are you talking about..."

"Stop wasting words with me! I’m talking about the newcomer Gu Tong, who exactly is she? What is her background? Why was she specially authorized to enter the New Student Camp? You must clearly explain everything to me!"

Lan Siming’s attitude was almost coercive; he must know the result now.

"This... where does Officer Lan start talking about this..." The assistant squad leader couldn’t have imagined, it was because of the Countess’ affairs...

Could it be that the lady caused some trouble again, offended Lan Siming, and got him so angry...

Thinking about it, this seemed quite likely... What a misfortune...

"Stop playing dumb with me! Don’t think I don’t know, you’re in cahoots with your Count, it was you who advised me to pay extra attention when sending the talent report. If you don’t know the inside story, that would truly be bizarre!"

This was the reason Lan Siming angrily went to find the assistant squad leader; he knew well that prying words from Li Yan’s mouth was too difficult, it would be easier to break through with the assistant squad leader.

The assistant squad leader was on the verge of tears... Was it true that hearing too much might lead to trouble... It really is curiosity that killed the cat...

However, Lan Siming was of equal rank as their Count, also a class leader, not someone the assistant squad leader could afford to offend, so he decided to smile and said, "Well... Officer Lan, why don’t you sit down first, don’t be hasty, don’t be hasty..."

The urgent task was to calm him down first, in case Lan Siming caused a scene in the office hall, it would be difficult to manage...

Lan Siming ’hmphed’ and sat on a chair next to him, gazing intently with determination at the assistant squad leader.

The assistant squad leader was about to burst into tears, too much remained unsaid trapped in his chest... The Earl and the Countess’s marriage was secret, what if he disclosed it recklessly, would he die...

"Officer Lan... what on earth happened, to make you... so furious..." He initially wanted to say making a big deal out of nothing but swallowed it back due to Lan Siming’s majesty.

"How dare you ask!" Lan Siming knocked on the table, glaring, "Such talents, you all are willing to let her be buried within the New Student Camp! Even when grabbing talent, you should consider the trainee’s future development, what’s the point of your Count doing this? Isn’t it too reckless!"

It’s no wonder Lan Siming misunderstood; special talent should be reported with superior approval, not discreetly slipped in. If it truly were as he thought, then Li Yan’s decision was indeed too reckless.
