Chapter 72 Jumping Out of the Pit
Chapter 72 Jumping Out of the Pit
Coco endured this difficult atmosphere for two months. She passed her driving test smoothly, and Lin Yue immediately bought her a car. Unable to bear the excessive enthusiasm of the girls in the dormitory, Coco decided to leave.
Coco drives herself to and from school every day, but things have changed. She's been harassed by all sorts of people, from those who want to chat her up, ride in her car, drive for her, or even offer her a ride in someone else's car.
On her drive home, Coco saw a conscription notice. A thought struck her – perhaps this was a golden opportunity to escape her current predicament. Back home, Coco discussed it with Lin Yue and Gong Yong, and they ultimately decided to enlist.
Coco first registered her enlistment information at the community center. After completing the process, she passed the registration and physical examination. Then, Coco went to her school to have the principal sign the procedures for retaining her student status and enlisting in the army. She deliberately chose to handle the school-related matters on the last day, so that by the time the children of high-ranking officials at the school realized what was happening, it was too late for them to register for military service.
Coco resolutely embarked on a new journey, freeing herself from the disturbances and entanglements, to pursue a pure land that belonged to her.
Lin Yue, Gong Yong, and Coco all thought they had successfully escaped the previous trap, but they never expected that they had actually jumped into another one. While all the powerful families were lamenting their fate, the powerful families and children of officials in the military became excited.
Coco joined the army as a new recruit and began basic training. Soon, during the six months of training, she noticed something was amiss. Strangely handsome men kept appearing around her, and seasoned soldiers and spies were trying to get close to her. Coco thought to herself, "I finally escaped the atmosphere I was in before, how come the army is like this too?"
After much thought, she concluded that these were the parasites within the military. To eliminate these parasites who sought to take advantage of her, she needed to be strong enough. Thus, six months later, Coco's outstanding performance gradually caught the attention of special departments. Special forces and elite "knife-edge" units all noticed this girl's exceptional qualities. She was beautiful, heroic, and ruthless, capable of killing with a single blow. She not only possessed ancient martial arts skills and a foundation in spiritual cultivation, but also mastered the military's combat techniques.
In short, she became a striking figure in the army. Anyone who tried to harass her got a beating. Anyone who wanted to spar with her could have a match in the ring. Anyone who wanted to fight her only needed to issue a challenge, and she would immediately accept and beat them half to death.
Coco's reputation spread rapidly throughout the military, and those with ill intentions gradually dared not provoke her. She, too, established herself firmly in the army through her own abilities, continuously writing her own legend.
Coco successfully filtered out many people in this forceful way, and those who used to surround her were no longer the good-for-nothing privileged families and children of officials. At least now, those around her, even if they were children of officials or privileged families, were outstanding performers in the military.
Whenever there was an opportunity to apply to university within the military, Coco would apply actively, usually for her original major. When her application was finally successful, she was surprised to find that the students sitting in the classroom for that major in the military were all the elite children of high-ranking officials and outstanding figures from prominent families, whom she considered to be elites.
In this way, at least Coco shrugged off the real parasites, lazybones, and malicious people around her. Most of the people around her had earned their place in the military through genuine ability; some were exceptionally skilled and held their positions, while others were highly intelligent. In short, their skills were no less than Coco's, and in other aspects, they were even stronger.
In this environment, Coco was not afraid; instead, it fueled her even greater fighting spirit. She knew that only by constantly improving herself could she stand out among these outstanding people and truly take control of her own destiny.
Time flew by, and Coco spent three years in the army. During those three years, her second child, Erbao, was about to face the college entrance examination. Coco finally got her first leave to go home, at a crucial time for her second child's exam.
When Coco told Lin Yue and Gong Yong about her experiences in the army, they were very surprised. They never expected that their daughter had jumped from one fire pit into another. Fortunately, their daughter eventually emerged from it and was no longer bound by it.
Therefore, when it came time for their second child to choose a major and university, they decisively selected one of the country's most prestigious military academies, along with a major the child liked. This would at least give their child a competitive edge among outstanding individuals. It's important to understand that this university isn't easily accessible; firstly, one must pass a political background check; secondly, academic performance must be excellent; and thirdly, the major must be a perfect match.
Therefore, they kept the major and school their second child chose a secret, and the second child never revealed it to anyone at school. The second child was naturally quiet; while not as bright as Coco, he excelled academically. After all, they had studied ancient martial arts, which had developed their mental abilities, and their training gave them exceptional memory. Therefore, attending university and taking the entrance exams alongside ordinary students was indeed easy for Lin Yue's family. Consequently, the second child consistently ranked among the top students in his class, but Lin Yue and Gong Yong advised him not to stand out too much, ensuring he maintained a good score in each exam, generally hovering around the top 20 in the entire grade.
When Erbao finished his college entrance exam and was filling out his application, he logged onto the website in the last ten minutes, entered his password, and completed the application. The portal immediately closed. This effectively excluded many children of high-ranking officials and wealthy families due to insufficient scores. Even those who wanted to use connections or internal procedures to attend the same university as Erbao were significantly reduced in number due to major restrictions and score differences. Ultimately, Erbao inadvertently escaped a potential trap during this college application process.
Although politicians and some powerful families were wondering how the eldest sister, Coco, had managed to break free of their control, they assumed the second son would follow the same path—first finding a university he liked, studying for two months, and then transferring to the military. However, the second son unexpectedly chose the military route.
One or two members of prominent families had already guessed and immediately enlisted in the military. However, when Erbao submitted his final choice of major, they saw it through the internal network and all chose the same major at the same military academy as him. Unexpectedly, two more people followed him to his school—a man and a woman.
Although the family to which this man and woman belonged also had cultivators, they lacked spatial abilities and precious resources like spiritual rice and spiritual flour. Therefore, compared to Erbao, these two were merely a piece of cake.
After Erbao enrolled, he quickly became aware of the two boys' presence. However, he didn't pay them any attention and focused solely on his studies and training. Thanks to his solid foundation and hard work, Erbao excelled in all the assessments. The two scions of wealthy families tried to get close to Erbao but always failed. Unwilling to give up, they tried every possible way to surpass Erbao in academics and training, but each time they ended in failure.
As time went on, Erbao's position at school became more and more secure, and the two scions of wealthy families gradually realized that the gap between them and Erbao could not be easily bridged.
Erbao's nickname is Jingjing, and we will use Jingjing to describe her in later chapters. The two outstanding individuals selected by the aristocratic families have entered, but they did not study with Jingjing in junior and senior high school, so Jingjing is unfamiliar with them.
Thinking of the scumbags and bitches her sister had encountered, and then reflecting on how she herself had managed to break free from that vicious cycle through hard work, Jingjing resolved to choose like-minded friends from this excellent group. To this end, she worked extremely hard, consistently ranking at the top of her class academically, and also excelling in physical fitness and martial arts, never falling behind.
In every assessment, Jingjing gave it her all, writing her own glorious chapter with sweat and perseverance. Her excellence not only earned the admiration of her classmates but also the praise of her teachers. As for those two scions of wealthy families, looking at Jingjing's outstanding achievements, they felt both envious and jealous, but no matter how hard they tried to catch up, Jingjing was always far ahead.
In this environment full of challenges and opportunities, Jingjing shines like a bright star, radiating a unique light, and steadily moving towards her goal.
However, though the wind seemed to be calming down, her heart remained restless. Coco, the eldest daughter, inevitably had social engagements while serving in the military. Over the years, she finally earned her own title and even studied at a military academy within the unit for a few years. Time flew by, and three more years passed. Coco was now 24, her second daughter was almost 21, and her youngest daughter was in her second year of high school, preparing for the college entrance exam next year.
Some shameless sons of high-ranking officials and wealthy second-generation heirs actually tried every means to drug Coco, attempting to force her into marriage, all wanting to become Lin Yue's son-in-law and trying every possible way to get their hands on Coco. Strangely enough, because Coco had consumed many pills refined by Lin Yue, she was immune to all poisons. That's right, immune to all poisons. In addition, there was a jade pendant space on Coco's body. People in the military, especially the higher-ups, who had worked with Lin Yue before, all knew that the space around Lin Yue's daughter's neck was very large.
Did anyone try to harm Coco? Yes, many, but none succeeded. Coco was deeply distressed by this situation. She couldn't understand why her efforts and achievements were always being tried to be erased by these people using such despicable means; her passion seemed so powerless in the face of these conspiracies.
On quiet nights, Coco gazed at the night sky, contemplating her future. She knew she couldn't let these setbacks defeat her; she had to be stronger and braver to face them. But those repeated crises still cast shadows in her heart, making her wary of those around her and gradually cooling her once passionate heart.
The marriages of Lin Yue's two daughters have become the target of calculation and scheming by various high-ranking figures. However, no matter how much they scheme, the two girls must be willing.
Coco is naturally beautiful and gentle. And Jingjing? Jingjing is 1.73 meters tall, two centimeters shorter than her sister. She is bright and elegant, even more radiant than her sister, with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye that is the perfect finishing touch. The eldest sister resembles her mother and grandmother, while the younger sister resembles her grandmother and father, so the two sisters are beauties of different types. When the eldest sister wears her military uniform, she is dashing and elegant; the younger sister, in her uniform, is radiant and captivating, her alluring eyes capable of making many soldiers fall at her feet. Although equally dashing, her eyes are even more captivating.
The two sisters have impeccable figures and flawless skin. In ancient costumes, the elder sister resembles a dignified princess or a matriarch; the younger sister, Erbao, is like a bewitching enchantress. Each has her own unique charm and beauty. Erbao's beauty, dignified yet alluring, lies entirely in her captivating eyes.
In short, the two sisters possess an irresistible charm that inspires longing. In this chaotic world, their beauty is both an advantage and a source of endless trouble. But regardless, their brilliance cannot be overshadowed; they await their own stage to shine even more brilliantly.
The schemes of powerful families often fail to achieve their goals. During a special mission, Coco met a lone wolf on the border plateau. This lone wolf, trained by the state for 30 years, was 1.9 meters tall, handsome and resolute, unmarried, and had always been single. He had been serving in special forces along the national border for many years and was already a regimental-level officer, on his way to division and brigade level. In fact, he should have been promoted long ago, but because of his young age—yes, his age—some merits that should have been his were not awarded in time.
He was born into a prominent family, and was the eldest son of the main wife. His mother suffered severe bleeding during childbirth and left when he was around 15 years old—not dying, but departing. Later, his father remarried, his parents divorced, and each found happiness elsewhere. He was unhappy in this blended family, so he neither went into business nor politics, but instead joined the army, leaving his family to live independently. He rarely returned home, spending most of his time on the frontier, risking his life for his country on numerous occasions. He also practiced spiritual cultivation, but due to a lack of special spiritual nourishment, his physical abilities did not improve significantly. He was five years older than Coco, who was about to turn 25.
During this mission, Coco remained unharmed; it was the lone wolf who nearly got injured protecting her. This wolf had also suffered heartbreak; his former love, during one of his missions, couldn't bear the high risk of having such a partner and resolutely chose to leave. After all, she was from a prominent family and didn't want to endure a long wait for his return. Therefore, this wolf remained unmarried until the age of thirty. He was a towering figure, exceptionally handsome, adorned with numerous medals and scars, and possessed immense family wealth and power. Now, like a lone wolf, he licked his wounds alone, looking at the beautiful, snow-white "little dumpling" before him—even though Coco was 1.75 meters tall, in his eyes, she was still petite and frail.
The lone wolf was moved—for the first time in 30 years. His previous love for the girl was merely a childhood sweetheart relationship, and a family-arranged marriage—a sincerity he had always held dear. His parents' divorce had dealt a heavy blow to his life. He had been incredibly happy when his parents were loving, but their eventual separation made him yearn for a future lover who would love him unconditionally. Therefore, when his family arranged the marriage, he agreed, after all, the girl was someone he had grown up with and had a very close relationship with.
But at this moment, his feelings were completely different from his usual obedience. This girl truly captivated him; this lone wolf yearned for her intensely, like a wolf eyeing its prey, wishing he could immediately embrace this little ball of fluff and devour her completely.
But this little dumpling was extremely wary, after all, the people who had approached her in the past had all had very clear ulterior motives. So when this lone wolf gave her that look, little dumpling Coco immediately understood that she had provoked another dangerous person.
Coco watched the lone wolf warily, her eyes filled with suspicion. The lone wolf also sensed Coco's defensiveness, and he tried to restrain his overly intense gaze, attempting to lower her guard. However, Coco was not so easily fooled; she knew that in this complex environment, she had to remain clear-headed at all times and not let her emotions cloud her judgment.
Although Lone Wolf was deeply moved, he still had a long way to go before he could truly understand Coco.
Coco participated in the mission on the national border with the aim of escaping a living hell. While the people around her were all talented, most were either from wealthy families or had political connections related to high-ranking officials. She deliberately chose to suffer on the border, determined to break free from that vicious cycle.
However, what she didn't know was that she had just escaped one pit of fire only to fall into another—yes, a wolf's den, and the den of a big, cunning wolf at that. Because the small group Coco had joined happened to be under the command of this lone wolf, who was their highest leader.
When Coco learned of this, she inwardly groaned. But the mission had already begun, and she couldn't back down. Lone Wolf, naturally, wouldn't let go of this opportunity to take advantage of her proximity, and showered Coco with attention. Although Coco was filled with resentment, she had no choice but to obey his commands during the mission.
Days passed, and Lone Wolf's enthusiasm remained undiminished. Coco, in turn, gradually saw a different side of him. His decisiveness and perseverance at work, and his deep affection for his comrades, began to waver in Coco's heart. But the thought of his complex background and potential troubles forced her to stay grounded.
In this borderland filled with unknowns and dangers, Coco's emotions swayed like a reed in the wind, uncertain of where they would ultimately lead.
