Chapter 1504
"Someone had to leave the team because of me? Wow, I've really never expected that you would think so lowly of the Chatterton Town military. Do you think that Colonel Brown would expel someone because of his son? If so, why did you join the military like your whole life depended on it?" Levi glanced at everyone and asked, "Monique Zellweger, if you have the evidence to prove that I took over your comrade's place, then show it to everyone now. If not, please think twice before you speak."
Levi's words were reasonable and no one had the evidence to prove that Levi had stolen the spot too. More importantly, Colonel Brown is a man of good repute. Everyone knew that the Chatterton Town military would only look at one's capabilities, not their identities. Anyone who was capable could work their way up, and replacing the Colonel himself was not something impossible.
All these years, the military officers in Chatterton Town made all their way up to the top through their own hard work. Most of them came from ordinary families, and this was an unprecedented scene anywhere else in the country. Hence, the citizens saw the opportunity to enter the Chatterton Town military, so many of them were rushing to get enlisted.
It was widely known for decades that Neil was a man of good repute. However, it would not be surprising if he were to make it an exception for his only son. Therefore, Monique and the others believed that the departure of their comrade must have something to do with Levi. Otherwise, that comrade wouldn't have left Red Eagle right before Levi joined the team.
Perhaps Levi had seen right through his comrades, so he added, "You'd better not talk nonsense, Monique Zellweger. As a soldier, you should take responsibility for every word you say."
Levi had never heard anything about him taking over someone's place in the team. However, he firmly believed that he was not the reason why that person left the team. He knew his father too well. Neil was an impartial man, he would never mix business with private affairs.
Monique was rendered speechless.
Levi was right. None of them had evidence to back up Monique's accusation. Moreover, they were all official members of Red Eagle now. As qualified soldiers, they should be responsible for their own words and actions.
Hence, everyone on the bus tried to ease the situation. One of them said, "We all know how everyone in the military perceives Colonel Brown. Let's not talk about this anymore, okay?"
Levi said, "No, we can talk about it, but just don't talk about it behind other people's backs. As qualified soldiers, we must be responsible for our own words. If you have any questions about your comrade's departure, you should ask your superiors directly. I believe that they will be able to give you an answer,"
Someone then said, "We did ask, but they refused to give us an answer."
It was precisely because their superiors had not given them an answer that they suspected Levi was the cause.
Levi did not know what to say.
The superiors refused to give them an answer?
Didn't Neil always say that it was important to be transparent and accountable to his subordinates?
Could it be that Neil had really expelled someone so that Levi could take over his place?
Levi had doubts in his heart, but he still refused to give in. He said, "If that's the case, you guys should give our superiors some more time. When the time is right, I'm sure that they will let us know about what really happened."
In fact, everyone in the team saw how capable Levi was. Hence, there were no reasons for them to dwell on this matter. Hence, all of them left the matter behind them and started talking about how happy they were to see their family again.
After leaving the training camp in the deep mountains and finally arriving downtown, all of them separated ways and went home respectively.
The first thing that came into Levi's mind was not his parents, but the beautiful girls that he had been missing, including Vanessa. The reason why he was sent to the army was partially because of Vanessa, so how could he forget about her?
Levi grabbed his phone and called Vanessa. The call was picked up almost immediately, and before the other party could say anything, Levi spoke first. "Hello, gorgeous Miss Vanessa, where are you now? What are you doing? I have a surprise for you."
However, the person at the other end of the line did not respond.
Levi added, "I've been thinking about you day and night. I know you must have missed me, so I'm planning to take you out for a meal. Let's go to a restaurant near your workplace, okay?"
However, the voice that sounded from the phone was not a gentle female voice, but an extremely cold male voice. "Levi, it seems like you've been living too comfortably, huh?"
It was Julien!
How could it be Julien?
Could it be that Julien had kept Vanessa in captivity because of what happened the last time?
The thought immediately sent chills down Levi's spine, so he instantly changed the topic, "Oh, it's you, Julien. I haven't seen you in a while. I miss you so much. Are you free later? I'll treat you to a
meal."
Levi thought that he had to find a way to save Vanessa. What if Julien were to torture her to death?
Julien asked, "Are you on a holiday?"
Levi chuckled and said, "It seems like you still care about me. My break started today but you've already gotten the news."
Julien added, "If you don't want to be sent somewhere further, you'd better go home now and stay right there. If you dare to do something that you shouldn't do, we'll wait and see what will happen to you."
"Julien, if you like Vanessa, just tell her frankly. Don't do anything illegal. Let me tell you, you shouldn't hurt her in the name of love. Never, never, never do anything silly, okay?"
Thinking of what he had done to Vanessa in the past year, Julien really hated himself. However, even if he hated himself, he did not want Levi to lecture him. He said, "It's none of your business."
Listening to Julien's tone, Levi was startled. According to his understanding of Julien, Julien was indirectly admitting that he had something harmful towards Vanessa.
Levi said anxiously, "Julien, I don't mean to meddle in your affairs but I really have to remind you of this. Please don't do anything that you'll regret. Just ask yourself. Will you feel happy if you hurt Vanessa? Is that what you really want?"
Julien said, "Just mind your own business!"
Then, he hung up on Levi.
Listening to the disconnected tone, Levi was worried.
Julien was a smart person, but he was definitely a fool when it came to relationships, and that was why his first love had left him.
It wasn't easy for him to meet another girl he loved. He would definitely scare her away if he acted like this.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
