Chapter 9
Seeing that Qin Zhao didn’t interrupt him, Ning An continued, “War requires capital to promote it. Soldiers and weapons both require sufficient funding, and large amounts of capital also need to be invested during the war. When the war ends, various treaties are signed. Generally, the losing country is required to compensate the winning country. This compensation is usually used to contract intermediaries, and the majority of these intermediaries would be those who have invested capital into the war in the very beginning. So, why not think of it like the intermediaries initiated the war in the first place in order to profit from war compensations?”
“That’s a very interesting answer. Please sit down.” Qin Zhao looked at him thoughtfully. “What is your name?”
“Reporting to the instructor. My name is Ning An.” Midway through sitting down, Ning An sprang back up again.
“Sit down. Sit down.” Qin Zhao swiped a few times on his terminal and waved for Ning An to sit down. He then looked at another student in the first row. “Any other answers? How about this student?”
After Ning An sat down, he let out a sigh of relief. Turning his head, he saw He Xin staring at him with eyes filled with worship. “Ning An, you’re so awesome!”

“I made it all up.” He had indeed made up a part of it on the spot. Ning An patted He Xin and said, “Look, my answer isn’t even on the display screen. You talked about the right points.”

[Be careful of Qin Zhao!! I’ll tell you more when I get back to the dorm.]
“Cl. Df mjgfoei bo Pcragemabg Hlc……”
Ning An put his index finger to his mouth, signalling to He Xin not to say any more. “We’ll talk about it in the dorms.”
After class, the two of them first went to the cafeteria and happened to both buy nutrition packs. Ning An pinched his nose and held his breath. Tilting his head up, he drank the entire nutrition pack in one go, looking just like he was being tortured.
He Xin was still slowly drinking the pack in his hand. He smacked his lips, extremely content with the taste. Watching him, Ning An felt that he was simply outrageous. He Xin only finished drinking when they arrived at their dorm.
When they opened the door, they saw Chen Si Yu anxiously waiting for them. He came up and circled around the two, looking them up and down. “What happened? Why did you only come back now?”
“We went to the cafeteria.” He Xin shook the empty bottle in his hand and then threw it into the bin outside. “What happened? Why are you so anxious?”
“Isn’t it because Ning An asked me what Qin Zhao was like? I initially still didn’t remember. Qin Zhao… Qin Zhao… How did he become your military instructor ah.” Chen Si Yu said this as he circled around the dorm.
“Stop. You’re making me dizzy.” Ning An held him in place. “Say, what’s the problem?”
“Qin Zhao was originally a member of the military department’s political branch. He was later removed because of a scandal.” Chen Si Yu took a deep breath before saying, “The scandal was on the sexual harassment of visiting students by senior military officials.”
“I think I’ve heard of this before.” Ning An remembered that Ning Meng seemed to have mentioned this to him before, but he was playing a game at that time and didn’t take note of it. “Was Qin Zhao amongst the seniors?”
“He should be. Although the list of names haven’t been made public, the related members have either been removed or reassigned. However, it can’t be ruled out that he was just an outsider eliminated due to political struggle. Anyway, you guys should be careful of him. I heard our instructor say that Qin Zhao’s reputation in school isn’t very good.” Chen Si Yu patted a somewhat dazed He Xin. “That’s all I’ll say. You should keep this in mind. Ah, why did I come here as soon as class ended to wait for you guys? You two actually first went to eat. I’m starving, I’m also going to the cafeteria now.”
“Instructor Qin doesn’t seem like that kind of person ah……” After coming to military school, He Xin felt like his three views had suffered a shock. He had never thought of these kinds of matters before.
“You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but rumours also can’t be trusted. We should just focus on studying.” Ning An glanced at the time and decided to pass on resting. He wanted to go to the training grounds again and find Derek. “Right, I’m going to the training grounds at night. Do you want to come with me?”
“Sure.” He Xin thought that Ning An was unhappy because his fight in the morning was interrupted and he wanted go at it again. He Xin’s heart filled with joy and he delightfully accepted.
