A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1190 On the Way to Freedom

After much discussion, Li Zi-Yang and the rest decided to escape from the military that very night.

They decided to head towards Yunzhou to look for Ye Fan.

The team was strongly attached to Ye Fan as the Green Dragon Force was established by him.

Chen Lan and the military camp had forsaken them first, and it was them who had forced the Green Dragon Force members to rebel!

But to their surprise, Tai Shan refused to participate in their plan.

"Tai Shan, are you out of your mind? You want to stay on despite how Chen Lan has been treating us? Have you forgotten how he treated you today? If it wasn't for the timely intervention by Colonel Wang Dong-Sheng, you would have died at the hands of Chen Lan today."

"Besides, didn't you say you miss Instructor Chu? Then why aren't you coming along with us when we are going to look for Instruction Chu? Has your brain been kicked by a donkey?" Li Zi-Yang couldn't help but scold Tai Shan when he was rejected. He had expected Tai Shan to agree to their escape plan.

Tai Shan was quiet throughout Li Zi-Yang's scolding.

Tai Shan said as he turned his back towards the rest of them, "You don't have to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind. The rest of you can go ahead, I will stay behind. If you manage to find Instructor Chu, please send my regards to him."

After he had said this, Tai Shan closed his eyes and pulled the blanket over his head to sleep.

"You..."

"You are really hopeless!"

"Alright, you can stay behind and wait for your death since that is what you want."

"Captain, let's go. We need to head back and get ourselves prepared."

When Li Zi-Yang and the rest saw how determined Tai Shan was in his decision, they decided to leave him alone.

The four of them headed back to their dormitories to prepare for their escape.

After a check by the doctor, Ye Yu-Yan's leg had not been broken but had only been dislocated. So while there was still some pain after moving the bone back into position, she didn't really have any mobility issues.

As soon as they had left, the crowded hospital ward became very quiet with Tai Shan left all alone.

Tai Shan opened his eyes when he was sure that Li Zi-Yang and the rest were gone.

He was a big-built and tough looking man, but tears started to well up in Tai Shan's eyes as he watched his comrades leave from his window.

Did he really not want to leave with them?

Did he not want to escape from this place and look for Instructor Chu?

Of course not!

He had the same strong desire to leave this place as the rest of the Green Dragon Force members.

But he had decided to stay when Li Zi-Yang posed the question to him earlier.

His reason was simple. He could not even walk with his current injuries, let alone try to escape from the heavily guarded military camp.

He would only be a burden to the rest of the Green Dragon Force members in their escape plan!

It was likely that their escape plan would fail because of him.

It was this reason that made Tai Shan determined to stay even if it meant that he was the only one left.

He would not be a burden to his comrades!

"Farewell, Captain, Zi-Yang, Ming-Bo and Da-Zhuang. I wish the best for all of you."

Soon, it was nightfall.

In front of his hospital ward window, Tai Shan was praying silently for his comrades' escape plan.

His wish was for them to escape safely.

The night grew heavy with darkness as time crept by.

Midnight finally arrived.

The military camp was quiet with most of the people asleep. Only the patrol and sentry guards remained awake.

After an entire day of activity, the camp was like a wild beast that had fallen asleep.

It was so quiet that one could only hear the call of the crickets and whispering of the wind.

"Captain and the rest should be making their move soon. I pray that everything goes smoothly," Tai Shan prayed softly as he stood in front of the window. As much as he wanted to join them, he had decided to stay as he did not want to be a burden to his comrades. Praying was all that he could do now.

Creeaaak...

The door to the ward suddenly creaked opened as Tai Shan stood in front of the window, worrying about his comrades.

"Who's there?" Tai Shan frowned and became wary when he heard the door creak open.

"Rascal! Quick, change into your clothes and follow us!" Li Zi-Yang's impatient voice sounded from the door.

Tai Shan turned and saw the Green Dragon Force members appearing in front of him.

"Why...why are you guys back here?" Tai Shan asked in bewilderment.

"Stop wasting time! Quick, change into your clothes, put on your shoes and come with us! Don't you even dare dream about abandoning us! Let me tell you, as a member of the Green Dragon Force, you have to be with us even in death! We will not allow you to break away from us!" Li Zi-Yang chided Tai Shan while he motioned for Ma Ming-Bo to help him get Tai Shan changed into his clothes and shoes. Once they were done helping Tai Shan, Gao Da-Zhuang ran over and carried Tai Shan on his back.

Before Tai Shan could react to what was happening, he was already on Gao Da-Zhuang's back and on his way down the hospital building.

"Captain, I..." In the darkness of the night, tears rolled down Tai Shan's face as he tried to speak with a trembling voice. He was choked with emotions as he looked at his comrades.

Ye Yu-Yan cut him off and said, "Enough, we can speak later when we are out of here. You just have to remember one thing, the five of us in the Green Dragon Force are united as one. We rise as one and we fall as one. We will not leave anyone behind."

The words from Ye Yu-Yan resounded in the dark.

The rest of the Green Dragon Force members did not speak but nodded their heads solemnly.

It was impossible for Li Zi-Yang and the rest to be unaware of what Tai Shan was thinking about when he refused to go with them.

And it was precisely because they knew, so they could not leave Tai Shan behind.

Hence, they had come straight to the hospital for Tai Shan when it was time to leave.

The Green Dragon Force carefully made their way towards the edge of the military camp under the cover of the dark night.

They had encountered a number of soldiers who had stood sentinel along the way but had managed to avoid them and passed each checkpoint with their agile skills and speed.

As special troops soldiers trained by Ye Fan, they had developed skills and strength that were above an average person. It was not difficult for them to avoid the sentinels.

Within ten minutes, they had arrived safely at the edge of the camp.

Only a wall now stood between them and their freedom!
