Chapter 51: I Think It’s Too Simple
Que Dongjin thought the voice was Director Li Mengman speaking. He turned around and saw that it was Director Li who walked in. What was going on?
"Dongjin, you not only completed the task, but also successfully passed the graduation assessment. Congratulations!" Li Mengman walked over with a smile.
"Passed the graduation assessment? Was that the graduation assessment just now? The people who ambushed us were not Japanese, but our own people? How could this be? What kind of assessment is this? It almost cost me my life! What would happen if someone couldn't bear it and told the situation? Isn't this kind of assessment too outrageous?" Que Dongjin did not feel happy about passing the assessment, but asked himself a few questions.
The woman covering her ears glared at Que Dongjin hatefully and walked towards the door.
Que Dongjin wanted to laugh when he saw the look in the woman’s eyes. He thought to himself, who made you so stupid? You knew it was a test, so why did you put your ear into my mouth? If your ear wasn’t slippery, I would have bitten it off, leaving you with only half an ear. Do you still feel so conceited?
At this time, Zhang Dahu was also carried in by two people. Que Dongjin saw Zhang Dahu and asked loudly: "Dahu, why are you like this? Are they too cruel?"
"Dongjin, how can you say that? You can't blame them. This is the intention of our organization. Think about it, if we can't withstand such a test and fall into the hands of the enemy in the future, how much damage will it cause? How many people will bleed and sacrifice?" Li Mengman said to Que Dongjin.
"Dongjin, you are the same as me. Look at the blood on your body. How are you? Are you not hurt?" Zhang Dahu said to Que Dongjin.
"I'm fine." Que Dongjin, whose ropes had been untied, tried to stand up by supporting himself on the ground, but he fell to the ground again.
"Dongjin, don't hold on any longer, get someone to support you. Everyone just go back and take good care of themselves for a few days and you'll be fine," said Li Mengman.
Instructor Gao and Que Dongjin will be together. Que Dongjin looked at everyone. None of the five people who carried out the mission were intact. However, Instructor Gao was shot by the enemy, and his buddies were tortured by their own people!
Instructors Wang Xueliu and Li Lexuan also came.
"The other students are also undergoing assessment. Three students failed the assessment. They will be sent to a prison deep in the mountains to serve as prison guards. They are not qualified to be agents. Of course, that mountain is almost isolated from the outside world!" Li Mengman said coldly.
Wang Xueliu looked at Que Dongjin and the others with a cold expression, as if nothing had happened.
Li Lexuan glanced at everyone and said, "Congratulations on completing the task and returning safely." Although she spoke, there was no smile on her face.
"Director Li, these four people performed very well in this mission. The three Japanese agents were indeed difficult to deal with, but the mission was still completed successfully." Gao Weilan said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Let's all go back! Heal your wounds first and don't think about anything else." Director Li said.
On the evening after returning to the training camp, Que Dongjin and the other three all felt varying degrees of pain in their bodies. They talked about what had happened that day and expressed their feelings.
"We completed the task and felt great, but then, damn, we had to undergo an assessment! I really thought we could only meet in the afterlife!" said Zhang Dahu.
"Director Li is so cruel. He actually tested us on the way to complete the task. I never expected it! I really thought we fell into the hands of the Japanese! He even used the beauty trap on me! Haha, I'm fine, because that beautiful woman suffered with me!" Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have grabbed the beauty I used the beauty trap on and then kicked her! But at that time, I only hated her and wanted to kill her! I didn't expect that you, Dongjin, still had the mind to lure the beautiful woman into the trap at that time?" Jiang Wukui said.
"How did I tease the beauty? Didn't I use a trick to punish her? I thought she was a Japanese girl and I had to punish her well, so that she would be angry and kill me to avoid suffering." Que Dongjin smiled, "Who knew that the beauty was so serious. In order to test me, she actually gave me her ear. Tell me, is she too stupid?"
"I'm not stupid. Although she knew it was fake, she thought you were handsome and really wanted you to kiss her! Who knew you were so cruel and bit her! She must hate you to death." Li Jianwei said with a smile.
"Haha, she really hates me! Didn't you see how fierce the look she gave me when ? She will definitely not smile at me when she meets me in the future." Que Dongjin said.
"Give you a smile? If you have the chance to meet the people you tortured today in the future, will you smile at them?" Zhang Dahu said.
"Smiling faces? Humph! I'd definitely do something to them! They're so ruthless, they're really like enemies!" Jiang Wukui said.
"Wu Kui, did I use the beauty trap on you?" Que Dongjin asked.
"Yes. I thought she was really a Japanese woman, and I thought at that time that I would not be satisfied until I fucked her and then died! However, I lied to her and said that if she let me go, I would tell her the information, but she didn't believe me. She asked me to tell her the information first, and said that she would not treat me badly! Maybe I started to curse too much, and she was afraid that if she let me go, she would really suffer! Dongjin, I'm not as handsome as you. The beautiful woman doesn't like me, so of course she doesn't want me to have sex with her." Jiang Wukui laughed.
"Haha, Wu Kui! I really admire you. Did you really think that way at that time? Were you in that mood? Then let me ask you, when you were carrying Instructor Gao on your back, did you think about it more?" Li Jianwei asked with a smile.
"Don't accuse me of this. I did it behind Instructor Gao's back without thinking of anything else. Jianwei, did you think about it?" Jiang Wukui looked at Li Jianwei .
"Ask Dahu and Dongjin how they feel." Li Jianwei did not answer directly.
"You are just telling jokes on purpose. Try not to make yourself feel any pain! With these injuries of ours, I think it will take us three days to be able to move freely!" Que Dongjin did not answer directly, but changed the subject.
"Three people failed the assessment. Did they betray the organization under torture? If such people were caught by the Japanese devils and betrayed everyone, wouldn't it cause great losses? I think that although this assessment is a bit cruel, it is necessary given the current situation where the Japanese are so arrogant," said Jiang Wukui.
"It makes sense to think this way. However, I think this method of testing is a bit excessive after all. By the way, these three people said they will be prison guards in the future. I think it is no different from being under house arrest for life. They are guarding others in such an isolated place, isn't it the same for themselves?" said Li Jianwei.
"Of course, otherwise how can it be considered a punishment? Being a prison guard in a place like that is equivalent to what we used to call exile! They just eat better than the prisoners and have a little more freedom." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"Oh! I wonder where we will be assigned after graduation. If we had known this, we would have pretended to confess together. In this way, the four of us can become prison guards and be together." Jiang Wukui said with a smile.
"Hahaha, Wu Kui, you think too simply! Think about it, if that were really the case, the higher-ups would know that we are solid buddies, would they be able to let us be guarded in the same prison? They would have to separate us, wouldn't they?" Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"That would be even more tragic! Wu Kui, stop dreaming. I think we will definitely be separated, but no matter what, we are still good brothers." Que Dongjin said.
"Look, can we talk to Instructor Li and ask him to let us work in the same place? That way, we can have someone to look after each other?" Jiang Wukui said.
"Wu Kui, please don't think like that! If you really say it, it will make us further apart. Don't be so smart!" Li Jianwei said.
"I agree with Li Jianwei's opinion. We can only wait for the assignment from above and cannot speak out." Que Dongjin said.
"However, a few days ago I heard someone was promoting the idea that as long as you have connections and money, you will be assigned to a better job when the work is divided. I don't know if this is true?" said Zhang Dahu.
"There are unspoken rules in this matter. There will definitely be people who give gifts and use their connections. However, we four brothers, everyone knows that we have no connections, no money, and we only rely on luck," said Li Jianwei.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's useless. Let's talk about something happy!" Que Dongjin said.
"By the way, after our injuries have healed, should we go see Shizuka? If we are assigned to another place in the future, we will have fewer opportunities to see her." Jiang Wukui suggested.
" Wu Kui, are you really attracted to Shizuka?" Li Jianwei said with a smile.
"Jianwei, stop making fun of me. I'm talking about serious matters! I think Jingxiang is a good girl. Let's go see her together and say goodbye to her in advance. When the time comes, we won't appear in front of her, so she won't worry about us." Jiang Wukui said.
"Wu Kui is right. We should go see her and say goodbye to her," said Que Dongjin.
"But we don't know where we are going. Besides, we can't tell her what we do," said Zhang Dahu.
"When we say goodbye, we don't have to tell her what we do or where we are going. We just tell her vaguely that we are going to a faraway place for work and may not come back to see her for a long time, and ask her not to worry, isn't that enough? Why do you think it's so complicated?" Que Dongjin said.
"That's true. Let's just leave it at that!" Jiang Wukui said.
"It seems that Instructor Wang is on night shift tonight! Why hasn't she come to discipline us and let us go to bed? You know what, I'm a little uncomfortable with her not coming to urge us to go to bed when I knew she was on duty." Zhang Dahu said with a smile.
"You! What do you call this? You're asking for trouble!" Que Dongjin said with a smile.
