He Zhijun looked at Qin Feng and smiled, "A man fears fame like a pig fears getting fat. You, kid, are now experiencing the consequences of being high-profile, aren't you?"
"Wolf Head, I won victory, brought glory to our Wolf Tooth, yet you make it sound like I've done something wrong? If that's the case, I'll definitely keep a low profile from now on, a low profile."
"You dare!" He Zhijun retorted.
Hearing this, Qin Feng's mouth twitched, feeling trapped. He was in a no-win situation.
With a creak, the car stopped directly in front of the office building.
"Get out!" He Zhijun commanded.
"I..."
Qin Feng had just considered turning the car around and leaving, but under the circumstances, he had no choice but to follow the Wolf Head out of the car.
Qin Feng wasn't afraid of seeing them, but he dreaded the trouble. Earlier in the conference room, the training issues had already given him a headache. He had finally managed to send them all away.
Now this again, Qin Feng was quite displeased.
Seeing He Zhijun get out of the car, Lei Keming immediately walked forward, saluted, and said with a smile, "Commander, greetings. It's been a while."
At this moment, Qin Feng, standing beside He Zhijun, sized up the legendary combat hero Lei Keming. Just as in the original accounts, his smile didn't quite reach his eyes, giving him a very "cunning" impression.
Yes, cunning!
However, such a cunning person also possessed a fierceness, making him a truly formidable opponent.
He had annihilated Lei Keming's Cobra Commando unit, and now Lei Keming had come to his doorstep. Was this a challenge?
He Zhijun returned the salute. "You're still the same. What brings you here today with so much free time?"
Qin Feng also politely saluted him.
Lei Keming didn't recognize Qin Feng, but seeing that such a young man was a Lieutenant Colonel, he felt a hint of surprise.
He had never seen such a young Colonel.
He recalled that he himself, despite numerous commendations, had only been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel after the age of twenty-seven. This kid, judging by his appearance, was at most twenty, seven years younger than he was when he became a Lieutenant Colonel. The gap was immense.
Based on his age, the other person should at most be a non-commissioned officer. What was his background? Could he be a descendant of a prominent military family from the capital, undergoing training here?
Several thoughts flashed through Lei Keming's mind. He saluted Qin Feng again and then said to He Zhijun with a smile, "I came to seek guidance from my old commander."
He Zhijun smiled, "How dare I accept such praise? Your Black Tiger Commando is renowned, known throughout all the military regions. Do you still need to come to my humble abode for guidance?"
"What are you saying, Old Commander? Wasn't I trained by you? No matter when, I am still your subordinate."
Lei Keming's words were sincere. He deeply admired He Zhijun and worked hard, aspiring to become a soldier like He Zhijun one day.
Later, even though he left Wolf Tooth, his heart never forgot that he was a soldier of Wolf Tooth.
Hearing this, He Zhijun chuckled and didn't say much more.
"Is this the new Chief of Staff, or...? He's very young." Lei Keming's gaze shifted back to Qin Feng.
He was familiar with the bigwigs of Wolf Tooth, like Fan Tianlei and Lao Gao. Lao Gao was a Colonel, and Fan Tianlei was merely a Lieutenant Colonel. He couldn't figure out where this Lieutenant Colonel had appeared from.
He Zhijun flashed a knowing smile. The exercise had just ended, and Qin Feng's identity hadn't been publicly revealed yet. It was normal for Lei Keming not to recognize him.
"Little Lei, you were defeated by him, and you still question his rank?" He Zhijun said.
"I... it was him?"
Lei Keming suddenly realized and then stared intently at Qin Feng, his triangular eyes narrowing. He exclaimed in shock, "This young man? Impossible! He annihilated my Cobra Commando!"
He was genuinely astonished. The combat strength of the Cobra Elite Commando was, in terms of overall capability, not inferior to the Black Tiger Commando!
They had all undergone the most rigorous military training and had participated in dozens of real combat missions, possessing extensive combat experience.
In Lei Keming's opinion, there wasn't a commando unit in any of the military regions capable of wiping out the Cobra Commando in a single engagement.
And yet, Qin Feng had single-handedly defeated them all. It was an unbelievable feat.
After the exercise, Lei Keming had the twelve members of the Cobra Commando report the entire battle process in detail. Four points were confirmed: First, the opponent's movement speed was top-notch, with excellent stamina for prolonged continuous assault operations; Second, they were skilled in camouflage, proficient in utilizing light principles to create visual blind spots; Third, their hand-to-hand combat skills were formidable, specializing in ambushes; Fourth, their sniping skills were world-class, capable of carrying a Type 10 anti-materiel heavy sniper rifle for cross-country operations and performing "jump sniping"!
This even shocked Lei Keming, known as a devil, and made him marvel. Was there such an all-around soldier in this world?
In his view, a soldier who could perfectly combine all these special combat skills should be a seasoned veteran, at least comparable to Lao Gao, to possess such strength.
Yet, a rookie had emerged and claimed to have defeated his elite commando unit. How could Lei Keming not be startled?
The contrast was too great!
Hearing Lei Keming's words, Qin Feng stepped forward, saluted again, and reported, "Report, Captain of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade's Dark Night Commando, Qin Feng."
Upon hearing this introduction, Lei Keming snapped to attention and saluted again. This time, it wasn't a casual salute, but a salute of respect to a strong warrior, a salute to a hero!
There was no doubt in He Zhijun's words; Qin Feng's identity was beyond question. Indeed, heroes emerged from youth!
Weren't many people doubtful of himself, a soldier from the arts, back then? But he had proven them wrong with his strength.
Therefore, Lei Keming felt a sense of deep understanding upon seeing Qin Feng and said with a smile, "Qin Feng, that's a very good name. I'm a year older than you, and much older in general. May I call you Little Feng? It wouldn't be too much, would it?"
Lei Keming then reached out, grasped Qin Feng's wrist, and without waiting for Qin Feng's consent, vigorously shook it. "Little Feng, you've taught my subordinates a lesson. I must thank you very much, otherwise, they'd all be walking around with their noses in the air, forgetting who they are."
He then called out to the people behind him, "Weren't you supposed to meet him? Why are you all too afraid to greet him now that he's here?"
Immediately, several members of the Black Tiger Commando behind Lei Keming, led by Zhao Hu, strode forward and saluted He Zhijun, greeting him as "Commander."
Lei Keming had told them before that He Zhijun was his former commander and elder brother. All his skills were honed under He Zhijun's tutelage, and they were taught to show utmost respect to He Zhijun!
This was something the members of the Black Tiger Commando kept firmly in mind.
He Zhijun returned their smiles with a salute. The Black Tiger Commando was trained by Lei Keming. Although he felt a pang of reluctance when they were separated from Wolf Tooth, children grow up and eventually need to forge their own paths.
As it turned out, Lei Keming's decision was correct. Otherwise, the army of Yan Country would be without the renowned Black Tiger Commando.
