After listening to me, his expression turned
strange.
in the women’s corps two years ago and that
you’re already a captain now?”
I shrugged.
“What’s the point?”
The commissar sighed.
“True enough, their attitude doesn’t seem like
they want to acknowledge you. I know John.
We were in the same unit before. I didn’t
expect him to be so blind now.”
He quickly arranged a new dorm for me.
Early the next morning, the physical
competition began.
Lily was so anxious she hadn’t slept all night,
r
As luck would have it, she ran into me in the
first round – we were in the same group for
the 12–mile run.
Lily’s face lit up, and I could tell at a glance
that she was still planning to use me.
Unfortunately, as soon as the starting gun
fired, I shot out like a rocket.
John was allowed to watch from the sidelines.
Seeing me rushing ahead and Lily, whom he had trained, trailing behind, he wasn’t worried.
Everyone knew that in long–distance running, being fast at the beginning didn’t necessarily mean being fast at the end.

The commissar knew my relationship with him
and went over to talk to him.
“John, I heard both your daughters are
participating? How about it, are you
confident?”
“Lily definitely has no problem, after all, I’ve
trained her since she was a child.”
“But the other one…heh, opportunistic, not
much potential.”
He said confidently.
The commissar frowned.
“I think Ashley might have more potential.”
L
John didn’t care.
Anyway, once the results came out, someone
would be proven wrong.
He sat there calmly, time flew by, and soon,
the results of the long–distance run were out.
The commissar glanced at the results in his
hand and smiled.
“John, you really have a great daughter.‘
“Your daughter got first place.”
John was overjoyed, accepting
congratulations from all directions.
Even when we were all sent back, he didn’t
even look at me, going straight to Lily and
<
“Lily, you got first place! Dad knew you would
be the best!”
Lily’s face turned green.
The other female soldiers, not knowing John’s
true identity, laughed heartily.
“Where did this crazy guy come from? She can’t even count as last place. She was trying to pull someone to carry her! First place?
He’s not afraid of bragging too much!”
John’s expression froze, and he looked at Lily
in disbelief.
Seeing the guilt on her face, he was shocked
and looked at me intently.
<
“Could it be…Ashley, were you the one who
got first place?”
Г

“Of course it’s our Captain Gu! Our captain is
the youngest female captain!”
My comrade stood beside me, saying proudly.
John was in a daze.
“Cap…Captain? Ashley, you’re already a
captain?”
His reaction was so strange that the
surrounding female soldiers looked at him in
surprise.
“Comrade, who are you? You know our
captain’s name, seem familiar with her, but
don’t even know her identity and abilities?”
<
John’s lips were trembling.
“I…I’m her father!”
“No, you’re not.”
I retorted coldly.
“Yesterday you said you only recognized Lily.
I’ve already taken the money. I have nothing
to do with your Miller family anymore.”
“General Miller, you’re a leader. You’re not
going back on your word, are you?”
John was speechless.
He had never thought that I, the one they
despised so much, would actually be a
genius.

In the following competitions, I almost
crushed the competition and won first place.
On the other hand, Lily, whom he had high
hopes for, was eliminated in the second
round and ran home crying.
In the past, John would have asked someone
to comfort her.
But now, he sat there awkwardly, listening to
the commissar’s repeated congratulations,
feeling repeatedly stabbed in the heart,
completely ignoring Lily’s thoughts.
