Therefore, although he gained access to the intranet as an administrator, he didn’t engage in inappropriate activities. After all, his intrusion into the intranet was merely a test of his advanced hacking skills.

Surprisingly, the skill proved impressive, enabling him to hack into military systems. Just as he contemplated exiting, new thoughts emerged, prompting him to open the personnel records of the recruiting company.

Stored there were mostly personal details of recruits. However, Chen Ming wasn’t interested in them. Instead, he explored the information of the squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander.

Starting with the squad leader’s profile, he was awestruck to discover that Li Long, like him, enlisted after high school, excelled in the military, earned a non-commissioned officer rank, and received third-class personal merit for bravery during a flood relief mission.

Looking at the data, Chen Ming was surprised; the seemingly ordinary squad leader had hidden depths and achieved military honors.

Moving on to the platoon leader’s information, Gao Jie Chen Ming found it more impressive. Graduating from the Army Infantry Academy, Gao Jie, despite his young age, had earned the rank of lieutenant and became a platoon leader.

Comparing him to other platoon leaders, Gao Jie stood out as a young achiever, making a lasting impression. Chen Ming delved into his rich and captivating backstory, discovering that Gao Jie, belonging to the Miao ethnic minority, shouldered the family’s responsibilities from a young age due to his father’s demise and his mother’s illness.

Despite the hardships in his remote mountainous home, Gao Jie excelled academically while juggling farm work and taking care of his younger siblings. His dedication and success in school were noteworthy, making him an admirable character even in challenging circumstances.

If everything goes as planned, he should get into a good university, secure a decent job, continue caring for his mother with dementia, and look after his younger siblings. However, reality often takes an unexpected turn just when you’re anticipating a brighter tomorrow.

On the eve of his college entrance exam, an abrupt heavy rain hit the small village, triggering a mudslide that engulfed his hometown, trapping many villagers. Despite the risk of further landslides, he bravely faced the rain, tirelessly rescuing people from late at night until the next day.

Unfortunately, he missed the crucial college entrance exam that could have changed his family’s destiny. Village residents suggested he repeat the year, given his good grades, to secure a spot in a better school. Against their advice, he chose to enlist in the army. His motivation? During the mudslide, a military team parachuted to rescue the stranded villagers. Recognizing the pivotal role of that team, he decided to join the army.

Ignoring the villagers’ advice, he enlisted and excelled in the military exam, ultimately gaining admission to the prestigious National University of Defense Technology. Renowned as the “Tsinghua University in the military,” it is a top military academy both domestically and internationally.

During his military education, he even published a paper on “Tactical Analysis of British Special Forces in the Falklands War,” earning praise from superiors. He joined the Red Star Brigade as a second lieutenant platoon leader after graduation.

After reviewing Gao Jie’s impressive journey, Chen Ming couldn’t help but admire the platoon leader. Gao Jie’s life story was truly remarkable, marked by academic excellence and military success.

Facing adversity during his formative years, he outperformed his peers, excelling in the military academy and gaining recognition for his research. Chen Ming couldn’t help but be in awe; who in the entire army could achieve what this second lieutenant platoon leader did?

After gathering information, Chen Ming discreetly exited the intranet, erasing all traces of his scanner and viruses. Unbeknownst to him, his intrusion had already been detected, and someone, leveraging various permissions, had identified his identity.
