Principal Chen abided by the army's arrangement and stayed at this town's middle school. It was the first time he was awed by a student after becoming the principal.
Not only was he overwhelmed by Ye Jian from Class Two Grade Eight, but he was also positive that this girl was a rising star. Rather than conceal her capabilities, she adopted a method that had impressed everyone in the school.
She was such an extraordinary student. But she had to hide her talents because she had been living in her relatives' family. To survive, she had to be cautious. However, she had not found a home where she could live and study in peace. Principal Chen felt sorry for her.
Being cornered, she didn't suffer in silence or conceal her capabilities any longer. Instead, she had made every student and teacher in the school remember her.
Principal Chen had to admit that he was quite thankful for Ye Zhifan and his family. If they had not provoked Ye Jian so outrageously, her talents would probably have remained unnoticed.
The abrupt ringing of the landline phone interrupted Principal Chen's thoughts. As he picked up the phone, he sounded less like a soft-spoken scholar but gave off a stiff and cold vibe like steel. "This is Chen Dongfeng."
"Arriving in five minutes," a stiff and cold voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
"Okay!" Principal Chen hung up the phone and picked up his black jacket on the back of his chair. He turned off the lights in his office and walked away, his imposing height of at least 180 centimeters disappearing into the darkness.
He was heading to the back of the office building, where the cold storage of the school was located. It was funded and built by the military.
It was well known that the school built this cold storage to keep meat, vegetables, and fruits fresh, thus guaranteeing the quality of meals provided to its students. But no one was aware that beneath the cold storage was a petroleum transfer station.
The logistics must function properly. The army would never put all their eggs into one basket.
Chen Dongfeng had been guarding the cold storage since he became the principal of the school.
Few people knew that the hair-graying, scholarly-looking principal was a world-class sniper before he retired from the army.
Although the soldiers who were about to arrive may not know about Principal Chen's identity, the deputy company commander was aware of that.
Not only did this town have a world-class sniper, but it also had a 70-year-old Class A Master Sergeant, to whom the chief of the army would salute.
The deputy company commander jumped down from the passenger seat and trotted towards Principal Chen who had been waiting for them. He stood upright and saluted to him. With respect, he said, "Sorry to bother you. The amount of petroleum is getting low recently. And it would take a longer time to get more supply from our other oil reserves."
"Resources are in sparsity during wars." Principal Chen briefly referred to the three wars—the Rwandan Civil War in 1994, the Yugoslav Wars in 1995 and the Bosnian War—that influenced the supply of petroleum internationally.
In the past few years, China had been sending more troops to station at the frontiers to prevent enemies from challenging its territories.
Fujun Town was located along the sole road where the military must pass through to transfer the weapons from the South to the North and vice versa. Therefore, the small town must shoulder the responsibility as an oil reserve by supplying and replenishing oil.
The oil was stored down in the pitch black basement.
To avoid dangers from short circuits, the warehouse was not equipped with electric lamps.
The soldiers, who jumped into the storage to transport the oil, used the lights on their helmets to illuminate the place. Swiftly, they loaded the oil tanks one by one onto the trucks.
About 20 minutes later, the trucks' engines started again, and they left the school slowly.
The noises of the trucks' engines faded further away. Ye Jian didn't close her eyes until the sounds had completely disappeared.
Ye Jian was a light sleeper in her past and current life. She would get woken up easily by the slightest of sounds.
Lucky for her, she could fall asleep again very soon after confirming she was not in danger.
But the thing was, the refrigerator trucks that arrived tonight were a bit strange.
Judging from the sounds of the engines, it seemed like the trucks had left the school without unloading any groceries. They were fully loaded as they were when they arrived at the school.
Ye Jian turned around gently with a subtle smile on her face. Eyes closed, she fell asleep quickly.
By the time of 5:30 in the morning, Ye Jian had finished washing her face and rinsing her mouth. After putting on her school uniform, she ran to the playground on her own. The playground of the middle school was as large as two football pitches. 14 and a half laps on the track of this field were roughly equal to 12 kilometers.
From her past life's experience, Ye Jian realized that she must keep working out to build a powerful physique so that she could protect herself when she was in danger.
It was not until she finished running 14 and a half laps did the wake-up bell of the school rang. Other students started to run on the playground.
As Ye Jian returned to the dormitory, she ran into Xie Sifeng who was about to wash her face. Probably still half-awake, Xie yawned and gave orders to Ye Jian habitually, "Hey. Have you fetched us hot water yet?"
The moment Xie Sifeng finished her words, she realized something was wrong and her face froze suddenly. Her eyes clearly indicated that she was scared. She fled the dorm speedily.
"Good morning." Tan Wei pursed her lips and greeted Ye Jian in a low voice. She also left the dorm hastily.
They were both arrogant and haughty before. But right now, they were escaping from Ye Jian just like mice running away from cats.
Ye Jian shook her head with a wry smile. She used hot water to wipe away her sweat, and then she headed to the cafeteria for breakfast, holding books in her arms.
"Look! She is that girl. Do you know her?"
"What did she do? She is quite pretty with fair skin."
"She is the girl that I told you about last night! She has brilliant memory retention. Gosh! Come to think of it, it's still very terrifying."
Several girls walked past Ye Jian and started to whisper. For fear that Ye Jian might hear their conversations, they were talking in voices lower than those whispering sounds during classes. "Ah. There she is. She is beautiful. How come I have never heard about her before?"
The boys were also discussing Ye Jian. During breakfast, the students from Class Two Grade Eight, who were kept in the dark yesterday, had learned about what happened in the principal's office.
They had mixed feelings as they returned to the classroom and saw Ye Jian—their classmate that everyone in the school was talking about.
She had excellent memory retention? She could remember the things that happened within a month? She could also remember every word said by everyone in that span of time?
That sounded freaking unsettling!
With a bun in his mouth, a boy who frequently bullied Ye Jian sat down on her desk and said incredulously, "Ye Jian, what did my boys and I say last night?"
Ye Jian, who was preparing for the Chinese test, looked up and pointed at her desk. Calmly, she said, "I don't like your behavior. Please get down."
"Blimey, you have become bolder now that Ye Ying is not here." the boy giggled. Wriggling his body to shake the desk, he said provocatively, "You don't like it? What are you going to do? Ouch! Ouch! It hurts! Let go of me! Let go of me!"
Ye Jian stood up and grabbed the boy's index finger. She exerted her strength and pressed it towards the back of his hand. In an instant, the boy turned from a provoker into a sorry a*s begging for mercy.
That seemed extremely painful! Every boy present grabbed their wrists and screamed in fear.
