The gates were opened by several elites from the Dragon Group.
Zhang Jianye shot a glare at Ling Feiyan before contentedly returning to his car.
"Mom, did you see that? That's Chief Instructor Zhang Jianye, my future senior leader!"
Zhong Jiaheng was so excited he felt like crying.
He had never in his wildest dreams expected to see the person he admired most at the entrance.
"I saw him. As expected of the Chief Instructor of a million troops, his presence is so powerful!"
Xue Jingmei exclaimed. Then she remembered something, "Jiaheng, Chief Instructor Zhang just said the person in the car is his teacher. Doesn't that mean the distinguished figure who gave you the opening speech today is that person?"
"It must be. To be the teacher of the Chief Instructor, this person must be someone of national importance!"
"Mom, I'm really about to cry. If I can meet someone of national importance, I'd die without regret!"
Zhong Jiaheng trembled as he said this, and he even wiped away a tear.
"Yes, son, you are so outstanding. You are the pride of our family!"
Xue Jingmei was also very emotional. Who wouldn't be moved to tears upon meeting someone of national importance?
Ling Feiyan felt the same. Hearing Zhang Jianye say that, she also wanted to meet this distinguished figure.
Unfortunately, she was responsible for security and had no reason to go in and watch.
And so, like curious babies, as the armored vehicle passed through the gate, everyone's attention was drawn to the rear car window.
Their eyes burned with eagerness, desperate to peer through the window and catch a glimpse of this distinguished figure's true face.
To their utter astonishment, they thought they saw a familiar figure.
"Xiaoxue, why do I feel like the person in the car looks like Xiaolin?"
Xue Jingru's face changed drastically, and she spoke with disbelief.
"Yes, I think it looks like him too."
Xia Weiguo nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue's smile turned a little bitter. She was about to say that this person was indeed Lin Feng.
Then she was interrupted by Xue Jingmei: "What are you dreaming about? The glass is so dark, what can you see? It's just a slight resemblance in outline. Did you really think your son-in-law was some important figure?"
"Don't you feel ashamed saying such things?"
Xue Jingmei said mockingly.
Xue Jingru and Xia Weiguo were too embarrassed to speak, as those words were indeed quite embarrassing.
Lin Feng was so young, how could he possibly be Zhang Jianye's teacher?
They were truly overthinking things!
"I must have seen wrong. That Lin Feng died long ago; it's just a resemblance."
Ling Feiyan also felt it was a bit funny at that moment. She had almost thought she was seeing a ghost.
Because the person in the car looked so much like Lin Feng.
But upon closer reflection, even if Lin Feng were alive, he wouldn't be the kind of figure Zhang Jianye mentioned.
Poor Ling Feiyan was too out of touch with the news; her understanding of Lin Feng was even less than Yang Ming's.
If Yang Ming had been in charge of security today, he would have definitely recognized the person inside as Lin Feng.
"Alright, it's getting late. You go in and compete!"
"Family members are not allowed inside. You can wait at the entrance or go home and wait for news!"
Ling Feiyan glanced at her watch and commanded with an unyielding tone.
"Dad, Mom, Aunt Two, Uncle Two, then you should head back first. I'm sure I'll be selected, so you can just wait for the news at home!"
Zhong Jiaheng said confidently.
"Okay, we'll head back and wait."
Xue Jingmei beamed with joy, not doubting Zhong Jiaheng's ability.
After all, Zhong Jiaheng had undergone professional training abroad and excelled in all subjects.
"By the way, Officer Ling, can I bring my cousin inside with me? My cousin used to work in the same system as you. Even if you don't remember old ties, at least give me some face, right?"
Zhong Jiaheng remembered his previous promise to Xia Xue and pleaded with Ling Feiyan to let Xia Xue in.
"Hmph, give you face? What face do you have?"
Ling Feiyan found it amusing and asked, "Xia Xue, is this your intention or your cousin's? You should not have forgotten the organization's discipline, right? It's impossible for anyone to get special favors from me!"
"It's not my intention, and I don't need you to give me special favors!"
Xia Xue clenched her fists. She hadn't wanted to argue with Ling Feiyan, but Ling Feiyan was being too insulting.
If she just made a phone call to Lin Feng, she could get in immediately, so why did she need Ling Feiyan's approval?
But she didn't want to do that because she didn't want to rely on Lin Feng's connections!
Xia Xue didn't want to, but that didn't mean Zhong Jiaheng would back down. Ignored by Ling Feiyan, he felt a surge of discomfort.
"Officer Ling, don't say that. I still have some influence. Wait a moment, I'll make a call!"
Saying that, Zhong Jiaheng made a phone call to an old leader of his in front of Ling Feiyan and the others.
This old leader used to be a deputy under Zhang Jianye. Although retired, Zhang Jianye would still give him some face out of old ties.
The reason he could participate in the Dragon Fang selection competition was also through this old leader's recommendation.
"Old leader, it's Jiaheng. My cousin also wants to observe and learn at the selection competition. She used to be the captain of the Dark Group under the Dragon Group. Could you help me make some arrangements?"
Zhong Jiaheng asked with a smile.
"I understand. Since it's your cousin and she's within the system, I'll help you ask my old superior. It shouldn't be a big problem."
The other side readily agreed.
Unbeknownst to them, when this deputy made the call to Zhang Jianye, Lin Feng happened to overhear the matter.
"Xia Xue is my girlfriend. Send someone to bring her in."
Lin Feng gave a direct order.
At the same time, he found it somewhat amusing. Xia Xue could have just said it directly if she wanted to get in, so why go through all the trouble with connections?
However, upon further thought, given Xia Xue's personality, she wouldn't ask for favors. If his guess was correct, it must have been Xia Xue's cousin causing trouble.
At this moment, Ling Feiyan looked at Zhong Jiaheng, who was trying to get special favors, her expression growing colder.
Even the way she looked at Xia Xue was filled with displeasure.
"Jiaheng, if it doesn't work out, then forget it. My Xiaoxue doesn't care about these things. There's no need for you to confront Officer Ling!"
Xue Jingru saw the suppressed anger in Ling Feiyan and advised her kindly.
"Second Aunt, it's alright. I promised Xiaoxue I'd get her in, and I will. If Officer Ling doesn't give me face, someone else will!"
Zhong Jiaheng also felt his pride hurt and naturally wouldn't back down easily.
Soon, several guards walked over.
"Who is Xia Xue? Our Chief Instructor has specifically approved Xia Xue to enter. Please come with us!"
As the guards spoke, they handed a document to Ling Feiyan.
"Very good, Xia Xue. Since you've chosen to go through the back door, then go ahead. However, I am truly disappointed in your behavior!"
Ling Feiyan sneered, her words filled with disdain and dissatisfaction towards Xia Xue.
After all, she was once the female captain of the Dark Group, and now for a selection competition, she resorted to all sorts of connections.
Xia Xue had truly changed, becoming the person she disliked the most!
"I told you, this is not my intention. Think whatever you want. I'm going home now!"
Xia Xue was in a terrible mood. She ignored Zhong Jiaheng, called her parents, and turned to leave.
"Xiaoxue, don't go. I've already used my connections to get you in. Why are you still unhappy?"
Zhong Jiaheng was stunned. Wasn't Xia Xue ungrateful?
"Jiaheng, don't mind her. You should hurry to the competition."
Xue Jingmei urged him impatiently.
On the way back, she couldn't help but mock Xia Xue: "Xiaoxue, why are you so ungrateful? Your cousin went to such great lengths to get you in. Are you treating your cousin's efforts right by doing this?"
"If you didn't want to go in, you should have said so. Aren't you playing with people?"
Xia Xue smiled, "Auntie, I already said I wasn't going in earlier. Your son insisted on arguing with Ling Feiyan, what does that have to do with me?"
"Besides, do I need to rely on others to get in? Why not rely on Lin Feng?"
"With just one word from him, he could make me soar to success. Even without him, do you think I, Xia Xue, need your help?"
Xue Jingmei was furious enough to burst her lungs: "You ungrateful brat, you keep talking about how great Lin Feng is. Has he put a spell on you?"
"If he's so capable, why hasn't he made you the captain of the Dragon Fang? Isn't it because he lacks that ability! People need to face reality, don't always be so self-righteous!"
Xia Xue scoffed, "Auntie, you are the one who's self-righteous. Lin Feng has that ability, but I just don't want to rely on him!"
"You, you're going to make us die of anger! No one is going to talk to you anymore!"
Xue Jingmei was so angry that her liver ached, and she finally shut up, not wanting to speak to Xia Xue anymore.
