A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1189 There is No Point Staying

If Instructor Chu was here, Chen Lan wouldn't be so arrogant and they would not have been abused and humiliated in this manner.

The Green Dragon Force would not have fallen into this state if Instructor Chu was here.

These words from Tai Shan were everyone's sentiments.

In this moment, everyone in the team became depressed.

Even Ye Yu-Yan, who had always been strong and independent, was overwhelmed with emotions and felt like crying.

Up till this point, Ye Yu-Yan's life could be considered smooth sailing as things had always been going smoothly for her. With her good looks and outstanding abilities, she had always been the center of attention regardless of where she was.

She had become Lu Tian-He's disciple and the captain of a special troops force at a young age.

At that time, Ye Yu-Yan thought she was invincible.

Nothing could bring her down.

In her eyes, setbacks were only meant as stepping stones for her. They were temporary and it was a given that she would eventually overcome them.

It was only now that Ye Yu-Yan realized she was just a miniscule being.

It was under the protection and backing of Ye Fan that she could do what she liked in the Jiangdong military camp.

In the past, there was no one who had dared to challenge her in the military camp.

Now, with Ye Fan's dismissal, the privileges and status that she used to enjoy were gone.

In the eyes of others, she was just a useless person who would never amount to anything great.

She was nothing without Ye Fan.

She could not even fight back when faced with oppression.

She was like a lamb to the slaughter.

The sun was shining brilliantly and the sky was clear. But the hearts of the Green Dragon Force members were filled with gloom.

In the past, they were able to look forward to their future with so much hope.

But now, their hearts were only filled with despair!

The morale of the Green Dragon Force members was very low.

But even though their future seemed grim, Li Zi-Yang and the rest quickly sent Ye Yu-Yan and Tai Shan to the military hospital for treatment.

Li Zi-Yang and the rest started discussing about what they could do in the hospital ward.

"Captain, Chen Lan is obviously up to no good."

"He will not rest until we are all dead."

"What should we do?"

"Are we supposed to just sit around and wait to be killed?"

The team was aggrieved when they thought about what had happened. Ma Ming-Bo could not help but ask these questions miserably as he looked at Ye Yu-Yan, who was now lying on a hospital bed.

Ye Yu-Yan was silent.

She did not know what to do. She had no idea what path the Green Dragon Force was supposed to take in the future either.

"Captain, how about you contact Instructor Chu and ask him to come back? Once Instructor Chu is back, there won't be anyone in the Jiangdong military camp who would dare to touch us," Gao Da-Zhuang tried to persuade Ye Yu-Yan.

Ye Fan had always been the backbone of the Green Dragon Force. He was someone whom they revered greatly.

The desperate circumstances that they were in had made them pin their hopes on Ye Fan.

Their hope was to have Ye Fan return to the military camp and lead them out of this predicament.

But Ye Yu-Yan shook her head and sighed, "It's no use. Instructor Chu has already been dismissed. It wouldn't make any difference even if he comes back. The chief military instructor of the Jiangdong military camp is now Chen Lan. Instructor Chu no longer has any say in these matters."

Ye Yu-Yan had already thought of contacting Ye Fan.

But she gave up on this idea after a lot of considerations.

Wu Yang had already dismissed Ye Fan from all duties.

Ye Fan might have to face the military court in a trial if he returned to the military camp.

Besides, knowing Ye Fan, he would become outraged by what the Green Dragon Force members had suffered through. They were ultimately part of a team that Ye Fan had built, so he would never have been able to tolerate his team suffering a humiliation like they did. There was no knowing what Ye Fan might do in retaliation to Chen Lan and the rest.

It would be a huge offence to fight and cause chaos within a military zone. This would only cause more harm to Ye Fan presently. Hence, Ye Yu-Yan had decided not to contact Ye Fan.

"But captain, do we just keep quiet and continue to let Chen Lan abuse us?" Ma Ming-Bo and the rest raised their voices indignantly.

"Shit! What kind of life is this? I joined the military camp to learn skills and make contributions, to carve for myself a good future and be a successful man. I'm not here to be abused! Damn it! I refuse to continue living like this. I am not staying in the military!" Li Zi-Yang went into an outburst suddenly while Ma Ming-Bo and the rest were still feeling indignant.

He took off his military uniform and thrashed it onto the floor.

The rest of them were shocked and asked Li Zi-Yang immediately, "Yang, what are you doing?"

"Are you crazy?"

"You are not thinking of deserting, are you?"

"The security in the Jiangdong military camp is very tight, you won't be able to escape."

"Chen Lan will not let you off if you are arrested!"

"So what?" Li Zi-Yang asked, "At the very worst, I will be beaten to death if I'm caught. But if I stay, I will be tortured to death like an animal. Since both outcomes are the same, why don't I take a gamble and try to escape? There's a chance that I might make it out alive. A true man would rather die standing upright than to suffer humiliation here!"

"You are right, I had enough too! Yang, I will go with you," Gao Da-Zhuang spoke up suddenly after remaining silent all this while.

"It is meaningless to stay in the Jiangdong military camp with Instructor Chu gone. Yang, let's go together. Let's leave this place and look for Instructor Chu! It's pointless to keep the uniform on when it no longer has any meaning!" Gao Da-Zhuang removed his uniform and thrashed it to the floor as well.

"OK, I will count you in."

"Ming-Bo, what about you? Do you want to leave too?" Li Zi-Yang looked at Ma Ming-Bo and asked in a low voice.

Ma Ming-Bo hesitated. Desertion was a serious offence in any military camp. The consequences would be severe if one was caught.

There was a look of uncertainty on Ma Ming-Bo's face as he struggled to reach to a decision.

Finally, with a determined look, Ma Ming-Bo said, "Alright, Yang, I will follow you! You are right, I joined the military to learn skills for a good future, and I'm certainly not here to be abused. There's no point in staying here anymore. Let's go and look for Instructor Chu!"

With Ma Ming-Bo's consensus, Li Zi-Yang turned to look at Ye Yu-Yan and Tai Shan.

"Captain, Tai Shan, what about both of you?"

"Do you want to join us?"

Li Zi-Yang and the other two extended the question to Ye Yu-Yan and Tai Shan.

Ye Yu-Yan wanted to dissuade them initially. The plan was absurd and could be considered treacherous in the military.

But after hearing what Li Zi-Yang and the rest had said, Ye Yu-Yan felt that their reasons made sense.

They were right. Their purpose in the military had become meaningless without Instructor Chu.

It was worth a shot to try get out of this hopeless place instead of waiting around to be killed.

Ye Yu-Yan finally nodded her head, "We had said before that Instructor Chu will always be our master. The Green Dragon Force was established by Instructor Chu, and therefore, the Green Dragons will be wherever Instructor Chu is! There is no point for the Green Dragon Force to stay in the military with Instructor Chu gone. Let's not wait any longer, we will leave tonight!"
