NovelEnglishChapter 1201: I Noticed
“I will allow you five minutes to scrutinize these eight images. Some of those individuals are wearing cosmetics, while others are not. Those people are in different rooms. I will pick you up in five minutes. You need to identify each of them.”
“Is this the second or third round?” Jiang Yao shook the photos. “Five minutes? Will someone drag me to another place later?”
“This is the second round’s second half. Do not be concerned. It will be five minutes.” Colonel Lin began counting down for Jiang Yao. Then he stayed on the sidelines and watched her. He wondered where Lu Xingzhi had dug up the treasure when he was looking for a wife. With Jiang Yao’s qualities, she would be an outstanding female soldier after two years of training at the Military Academy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtColonel Lin was even calculating in his heart. He did not know how likely it was to persuade Lu Xingzhi’s wife to transfer to the Jindo City Military Academy.
It would be a shame if the army could not make use of such a potential talent.
The essential point was that she was also a skilled medical professional. Even if she were assigned to the military, she would undoubtedly be a skill that all military districts wanted.
Five minutes was far too short to browse those eight photos. Furthermore, it was still acceptable if the people in the images were not wearing a disguise. After a few more glances, one might recall their facial features. The ones with disguises, on the other hand, were extremely difficult to remember. Furthermore, they were not only wearing mild makeup. Two of the girls wore heavy makeup. It was too hard to see their original appearances.
“Time’s up.” Colonel Lin took the time to remove all the photos and placed them in his pocket. Then, he pulled eight cards from another pocket. Each card had the Arabic numerals 1 to 8 on it.
Then, with a smirk, Jiang Yao heard Colonel Lin said, “I am not sure if you have noticed that each of those eight images has a number printed on the back. Those are the code names for those people. Take these eight cards and walk to the opposite room to find the matching person and pass them the corresponding numbers.”
Jiang Yao was speechless. She did not know how to respond to Colonel Lin other than with a smirk.
However, she was not surprised. She would be suspicious if there were not a trap in every step.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEvery photograph did have a number on the back. The numbers were about the size of her thumb. If she did not look closely, her fingers would conceal it easily. Furthermore, the numbers were not organized in the order of the photographs; they were random.
Jiang Yao’s immediate thought was to return home and kidnap Lu Xingzhi to beat him up to relieve her rage. What questions did he come up with? Was he racking his brains just to trick her?
Was she not his wife?
“You can’t possibly have missed the numbers on the back of the images, right? Look at me, I completely forgot to remind you.” Colonel Lin had an evil grin on his face as he grabbed his pocket. “But I am afraid I can’t reveal it to you. Even though our families are so close, I can’t break the regulations. Lu Xingzhi was the one who made the rule. You can tell him to kneel on the washboard if you are angry.”
“I noticed,” Jiang Yao said, smiling.
“Oh, you didn’t remember it, did you?” Colonel Lin laughed. “It’s fine; go ahead and try your luck! If you do not pass the test, go to the market and get a washboard for your husband.”
Jiang Yao glanced at Colonel Lin, who was holding back a smirk. She took the card, got up, and walked out of the room.
