The Strongest Soldier: From Being Specially Recruited into the Army

Chapter 7 A man’s promise!
There is probably no woman in the world who is easier to please than a mother. No matter how many wrong things Su Chen did in the past or how hurtful words he said, Xiao Sumei never held a grudge against him.

For Xiao Sumei, Su Chen's call of "Mom" was enough to make all her years of grievances and sadness disappear in an instant.

In order to celebrate her son's good deed and this rare honor, Xiao Sumei even closed the supermarket, which she regarded as her life, today and cooked a large table of Su Chen's favorite dishes.

During the meal, Su Chen told her that he wanted to join the army. Xiao Sumei was stunned and said reluctantly:

"Being a soldier is very hard."

Su Chen persuaded, "Mom, I know being a soldier is hard. But I took the wrong path before and did a lot of wrong things. I want to go to the army to train myself. Besides, I will not study after junior high school. If I don't join the army, I will have a hard time in the future without a degree."

Since her son said so, what else can she say as a mother?

Xiao Sumei was an open-minded mother. Although she was reluctant, she said, "Okay... since you have decided, then go ahead! Mom supports you!"

Xiao Sumei also has a biological son, so Su Chen is not worried that no one will take care of her after she joins the army.

But since coming back, Su Chen has not seen his elder brother Wang Zhen, so he asked curiously:
"Mom, why don't I see my brother? Is he still in the capital?"

Hearing this, Xiao Sumei's mood suddenly became low. She held back her tears and whispered, "Your brother made a mistake and was arrested..."

"What?!" Su Chen was stunned, "What did he do?"

Xiao Sumei wiped her tears and sighed, "He attacked a police officer after driving drunk."

Su Chen was dumbfounded...

In my impression, my eldest brother Wang Zhen has always been a popular kid since he was young. He had excellent academic performance and was admitted to Shenzhou Public Security University with an extremely high score in 2012. Logically, his future should be bright. How could he drive under the influence of alcohol? And even attack a police officer? Is he crazy?! This made Su Chen, who had originally made up his mind to join the army, waver for a moment!
The stepmother had a hard life in the first half of her life. Now her own son is in prison and she herself is going to serve in the army. What should she do?

As if she could see Su Chen's struggle and hesitation, Xiao Sumei wiped away her tears and said, "It's okay, son. I'm not old yet. Go and pursue your dreams without worry! I'll enjoy my life after you retire from the army..."

Su Chen felt like there was a thorn stuck in his throat and nodded bitterly.

…………

After signing up for military service online, Su Chen has been staying at home with Xiao Sumei except for physical examinations and pre-service training.

His performance during this period made Xiao Sumei both relieved and distressed. People would not become sensible for no reason. The only explanation was that Su Chen had suffered a lot outside in the past three years. When Xiao Sumei thought that her son was about to go to the military camp to suffer again, she felt even more distressed and reluctant. She couldn't sleep well these days.

Life is always full of partings. In the blink of an eye, Su Chen is about to join the army.

Xiao Sumei insisted on sending Su Chen to the station and watched him get on the bus.

She was very strong. She did not shed tears like other mothers who sent their sons to join the army. She just reminded Su Chen to get along well with the squad leader, not to cause trouble, and to eat more, and these trivial matters. Every word she said was full of reluctance.

And when Su Chen stepped onto the train and the farewell train slowly started to move away from the platform, Xiao Sumei could no longer hold back. She turned around, her shoulders twitching and tears falling.

In the car, Su Chen's nose felt sore, his eyes were red, and his heart was broken...

Su Chen clenched his fists, "Mom! Wait for me, I will definitely make a name for myself in the army and let you live a good life. I swear!"

He wants to be his mother's pride!
Don't let her work so hard anymore!

This is Su Chen’s first promise!
.........

Outside Myanmar.

The headquarters of the Satanic D-trafficking group. A man wearing a silver-white suit and with a two-three centimeter scar on his forehead walked out of a luxurious office building, got into a car, and slowly drove out of the factory area.

The gunman at the factory gate stopped him, and after seeing his face clearly, he said respectfully: "Brother Chen, get out?!"

The gunman knew the man.

The man's name is Su Chen. He came to the Satan Group two years ago. At the beginning, he was an unknown little character, but in just two years, he had become famous in the Golden Triangle area. He was a very ruthless character who killed people without blinking an eye. Now he is one of the elders of the Satan Group!
"Well, do something." The scarred man said lightly.

The gunman let them go, and the scarred man drove the car. About half an hour later, he came to a mountain, skillfully found a cellar, pulled out a pistol from his waist, looked around vigilantly, then pushed aside the weeds on the hillside, pulled open the slanted door panel, and got in. When the beam of flashlight spread, some electronic equipment could be vaguely seen in the dim cellar.

The scarred man turned on the emergency fire light, and the cellar suddenly became dimly lit.

Then, he quickly walked to the laptop, entered a mysterious website, and entered the complex password three times in a row before he spoke to a contact with the note "Light".

The video call was quickly connected, and a middle-aged man in police uniform appeared on the other side of the computer: "Phoenix, I was looking for you!"

"Is it about Operation Yunhai a few days ago?" asked the scarred man codenamed Phoenix in a low voice.

Ming Deng hummed, "There's something wrong with your intelligence!"

Phoenix sighed, "Ming Deng, I fell into the trap! This is Satan's conspiracy. He had long guessed that there was an undercover agent inside Satan, and this time he deliberately spread the information to eliminate his competitors!"

Ming Deng's eyes were sharp: "You mean, killing someone with a borrowed knife?!"

"Well...we have become the enemy's sword!"

Ming Deng asked hurriedly: "You are in a very dangerous situation now! Satan will sooner or later suspect you. If it really doesn't work... we have no choice but to evacuate you!"

After struggling for a while, the Phoenix said unwillingly: "No! If I withdraw now, all my previous efforts will be in vain!"

"Then what are you going to do?!" Mingdeng asked through gritted teeth.

Phoenix took a deep breath and said, "Satan has not yet suspected me. During this period, I cannot provide any more intelligence. I must find a way to gain the enemy's trust."

Ming Deng was silent for a while, then he sighed and said, "Okay, but you must be careful. If you find something wrong, withdraw immediately!"

"Yes, I know!" Phoenix forced a smile, "If anything happens to me, take good care of my mom and my brother!"

When Ming Deng heard his words, his heart seemed to be squeezed. After a long time, he said with trembling lips: "I will..."

"Okay, we'll be discovered if we talk for too long, so let's end the call..."

Ming Deng suddenly shouted: "Ah Zhen..."

"Ok?"

"Be careful! We are all waiting for you to come back!"

The Phoenix smiled and raised his hand to salute, "Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
