The car door opened, and Lu Chenbing appeared before them with a dignified air.

“Greetings, battalion commander!” The members of the War Wolf Squad immediately snapped to attention and gave Lu Chenbing a standard military salute.

As Lu Chenbing also held the position of battalion commander of the special forces, it was natural for them to address him as such.

Lu Chenbing slowly scanned the members of the War Wolf Squad and with a slight smile, he asked, “I saw everyone was having a lively discussion just now, what were you all talking about?”

“Reporting to the battalion commander, we were discussing how to welcome the new instructor,” Su Jingfeng replied loudly, standing ramrod straight as he addressed Lu Chenbing.

The team members, hearing Su Jingfeng’s answer, all revealed mysterious smiles on their faces.

They were indeed eager to welcome this mysterious instructor, but were unsure if the instructor could withstand their welcome. They hoped the new instructor wouldn’t be a pushover; otherwise, it wouldn’t be much fun.

“Little Su, your morale is good, rest assured, the new instructor will definitely satisfy you. You should give him a proper welcome,” said Lu Chenbing, a veteran with decades of military experience who could easily see through the mischief these young men were harboring.

However, he didn’t mind; soldiers needed to have a competitive and fierce spirit. Otherwise, being tepid would make them soft and incapable of winning battles.

Since they wanted to give Xu Fan a grand welcome, Lu Chenbing did not object. Xu Fan’s abilities were not unknown to him—being one of the counted Martial Arts Grandmasters in Yan Country. These young lads weren’t capable of giving him the welcome they intended. Letting them learn a lesson would curb their arrogance, show them there is always someone better, and simultaneously establish Xu Fan’s formidable image. Why would he object to that?

“Little Su, then have your team prepare well. We mustn’t allow our War Wolf Squad’s reputation to falter,” Lu Chenbing said with a slight smile, adding fuel to the eager War Wolf Squad’s fire.

“Understood! The War Wolf Squad will definitely give the new instructor a warm welcome,” Su Jingfeng replied loudly, laughing inwardly. “New instructor, don’t blame us at War Wolf for being inhospitable; it’s just that the leader has spoken. If we went easy on you, that would make War Wolf look weak. So don’t blame me, Su Jingfeng, for bullying you when the time comes.”

Afterward, Lu Chenbing, under the guidance of a War Wolf Squad member, toured their training subjects and facilities, and then arrived at the infirmary.

In the infirmary lay a young man, just 20 years old, with his foot in a cast, his expression filled with discomfort.

Upon seeing Lu Chenbing enter, the young man scrambled up from the hospital bed and attempted to stand at attention for a salute.

Lu Chenbing moved swiftly to the bedside, faster than a bolt of lightning, and pressed down on the young man’s body, preventing him from rising.

“Hao Bei, there’s no need for salutes since you’re injured. Just focus on healing with peace of mind,” Lu Chenbing said gently, patting Xiao Bei on the shoulder.

“Battalion commander, I let down the War Wolf Squad. I’m useless!” Xiao Bei said apologetically to Lu Chen Bing.

“What are you talking about? You are a meritorious member of War Wolf, injured in the course of dedicated training. I’ve already applied for a third-class merit for you with the superior authorities. Rest and heal with peace of mind; I will make sure the best doctor treats you, so your injury won’t affect your future combat capabilities,” said Lu Chenbing, comforting Xiao Bei.

“Battalion commander! I… I…” Upon hearing Lu Chenbing’s words, Xiao Bei, though a man of average height, was moved to the verge of tears and struggled to speak, barely holding back his tears.

From the very first day he joined War Wolf, Captain Su had taught him that a real man may bleed, but never sheds tears.

“Heal up well! The War Wolves are waiting for your return!” Lu Chenbing patted Xiao Bei on the shoulder and slowly walked out of the infirmary under Xiao Bei’s gaze.

As soon as he stepped out of the infirmary, his phone received a call from Xu Fan.

“Lu Big Brother, I’m at the gate!” Xu Fan’s voice came through the phone, steady and clear.

“Alright, I’ll come to get you.” Lu Chenbing hurriedly led a group of War Wolves towards the training field’s gate.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, Lu Chenbing saw Xu Fan dressed in casual jeans and a T-shirt, holding a delicately adorable little girl who was happily eating a H?agen-Dazs ice cream.

A fluffy white dog followed behind Xu Fan, comically wearing a pair of beach sunglasses on its face.

This appearance was hardly that of an incoming instructor but more like someone on a seaside vacation.

“Uncle Lu, we meet again!” Tongtong beamed at the sight of Lu Chenbing, stretching out her little arms to greet him.

“Oh my, Little Tongtong, how have you become even cuter, haha.” The sight of the endearingly cute Tongtong brought a wave of warmth to Lu Chenbing’s usually stern face.

Everyone was shocked to see Lu Chenbing; was this the same resolute iron-willed man they knew? Looking at Tongtong now, his eyes were as tender as an old man doting on his granddaughter. They couldn’t help but wonder if this young man in front of them could be Lu’s secret child.

Su Jingfeng observed Xu Fan with a cold gaze, a surge of dissatisfaction growing in his heart. He cherished the decisive, steely demeanor of soldiers and detested Xu Fan’s easygoing and nonchalant attitude. To him, Xu Fan did not come here for teaching but rather to enjoy the spectacle, not even bothering to change into sportswear, instead holding a child and bringing along a dog.

“Lu Big Brother, is this the War Wolf Squad?” Xu Fan glanced over the members of the War Wolf Squad, his voice nonchalant.

“Little Su, report to the instructor,” Lu Chenbing demanded with a return to his authoritative tone, addressing Su Jingfeng.

“Reporting to the instructor, War Wolf Squad, should be 38 present, 37 actually present, one person on sick leave. Awaiting the instructor’s commands,” Su Jingfeng reported to Xu Fan with a clear, powerful voice despite his discontent toward him.

“Not everyone is here? What illness does he have? Can he come tomorrow?” Xu Fan asked, frowning.

“Reporting to the instructor, the person on sick leave is Hao Bei. He injured his ligament during training, and the doctor said he needs to rest for three months. He is currently in the infirmary and cannot participate in tomorrow’s training,” Su Jingfeng answered abruptly, thinking to himself with irritation, Who do you think you are, coming here and acting all high and mighty right away? Our man can’t train because of injury; do you think we War Wolves don’t want to train?

“Alright, Elder Xu, I leave things in your hands here; I’ll be off,” Lu Chenbing slapped Xu Fan on the shoulder and then turned to the War Wolf Squad, “This is Instructor Xu, he’s very approachable. If you have any questions, feel free to ask him, I’ll be leaving now.”

“Captain, have a safe trip,” Su Jingfeng finally showed a hint of a smile. Lu Chenbing’s words were clearly telling the War Wolf Squad that Xu Fan was now in their care, and they should host him well. With these words from Lu Chenbing, Su Jingfeng felt confident enough to challenge Xu Fan.

Hearing this, Xu Fan also chuckled gleefully, Elder Lu actually said I’m democratic, haha, just you wait, you’ll soon learn what democracy is.
