Trial Of Love Chapter 179 - A Competition

Inside Imperial Military Academy, there were loads of young soldiers in training as Elizabeth and everyone walked around the halls. Most of the new officers does not know what Elizabeth looked like whilst some could not recall what she looked like now since it's been quite a long time.

"Miss Elizabeth, how have you been?" One of the officers asked.

"Major Ning, I'm good how about Bro Ru?" Elizabeth replied.

It surprises Major Ning that she still remembers his son, "He's doing well, he should be in the north with your brother."

Everyone knows Elizabeth is an only child, but she treated her Uncle's son like a real brother. Since the two grew up together most of them thought they were indeed siblings.

"Zhao Yunxi what is the meaning of this," Zhao Cheng roared whilst marching towards the group of people.

"Grandpa?" Elizabeth quickly and embrace the old man to ease him down.

Of course, it worked but the old man was not happy after hearing what happened outside, "Who dare hurt my precious granddaughter. Who dares calm to be my future grandson-in-law?"

"Now, now Brother Zhao, your son has handled everything and it seems Elizabeth is fine apart from her dress being all dusty." President Yang spoke in a calm manner hoping to ease the old man.

"President Yang it's good to see you again." Elizabeth properly greeted the old man.

"President?" Yang Tai opposed it.

"I mean Grandpa Yang." Elizabeth smiled.

"Dear Elizabeth, thank you for taking care of my grandson." He added.

"Young Miss, I got you a change of clothes," Mr. Yan said as he handed her the bag.

"Uncle Yan thank you." Elizabeth replied, she then looked at her grandfather "Grandfather, where can I get change?"

"You two, bring my granddaughter to my office. Afterward, guide her to the main training hall," Zhao Cheng instructed the two soldiers.

Jackie tag along with Elizabeth since she did not wish to stay with the old men and talked about military strategies and training. She does enjoy talking to them as well but only when law is involved since it something she quite interested in.

Elizabeth got changed into a semi-formal attire, she wore a black jeans, a white polo shirt with a black spaghetti-vest inside. She then removed her wig and gla.s.ses since she no longer needs to worry about her ident.i.ty.

Jackie snorted as she saw Elizabeth came out of the bathroom, "Babes, you looked like a s.e.xy secretary. I'm sure Shen would like you to work for him."

"Jakie shut up!" Elizabeth yelled as she grabbed her stuff. "Let's go!"

As Elizabeth and Jackie followed the two soldiers as they walked inside the main training hall.

Zhao Cheng ignored everyone as he hastily went to his granddaughter. "Darling are you sure you're fine?"

"I'm fine," Elizabeth answered whilst observing the old man scanning her if she lost a single hair.

"Grandpa Zhao what are they doing?" Jackie asked.

"They are all training in Judo and mixed martial arts," Zhao Cheng answered.

"Is it necessary for them to train in martial arts as well?" Jackie curiously asks who has no idea about military training.

"Jackie, of course, it necessary," Elizabeth said while hitting the girl in the head, "One must not only be skilled in shooting a gun but also physically strong. This sort of training will help them develop good psychics in order to handle the harsh training ahead."

"Elizabeth sure hasn't changed, she is still so clever and gifted."

"The Chief General is indeed lucky to have her as a granddaughter."

Zhao Cheng was smiling from ear to ear as he heard the compliments coming from his comrades.

"General Zhao why not introduce your niece to my nephew he is a fine soldier."

"No, my grandson is better than your son. He's a fine doctor at the military hospital."

As the other officers continue to match make their young grandson and nephew, Zhao Yunxi could only laugh, "It is not up to me but to her…"

"Elizabeth would you like to try shooting with them?" Yang Tai suggested.

"Can I?" Elizabeth wondered whilst her eye sparkled in glee in excitement.

Everyone and the other soldiers followed them as they went to the shooting range.

"Liz, wanna have a compet.i.tion?" Jackie suggested.

"Jackie you know you'll lose." Elizabeth proudly declared.

"Not with me silly," She giggled.

"With whom then?" Elizabeth wondered.

"Uncles, would you like to make a beat? Since you wish to have your nephew and grandson go on a date with Elizabeth why not make a beat. Who every beats Elizabeth's score get to go on a date with her."

Everyone looked at each other wondering if whether this was fine.

"Grandpa Zhao, Uncle Zhao, you won't mind right?" Jackie asked.

The two elders nodded and agreed with her easing the other elder officers.

"Babes wanna beat then?" She repeated her question to Elizabeth.

"If I win what will you do?" Elizabeth asked.

"I give you something you'll love." Jackie winked.

"I'm sure I can just buy that as well," Elizabeth said whilst checking the guns out.

"This is something you can't buy." Jackie meaningfully smiled.

Elizabeth was curious as to what it could be, "Fine."

"Then everyone let the compet.i.tion begin."

"99.5"

"99.8"

"99.9"

"100"

"Guess General Liu's grandson will go on a date with Elizabeth then," Jackie announced.

"Not quite my dear." Yang Tai said, as he pointed out at Elizabeth's scorecard "Look."

Everyone was stunned to see not just a perfect score but Elizabeth hit the exact same spot. The Elder officers congratulate Elizabeth leaving the young trainees in shock.

"General Zhao's niece is amazing."

"Of course she'll be amazing, she Lieutenant Colonel Zhao's sister."

"Dear Elizabeth, I admit my defeat you are indeed General Zhao's granddaughter and Weiwei's daughter." General Liu laughed, "As I recall your mother did the same thing as well."

"That right, when we made a beat to whom she'll go on a date with." General Tan laughed.

"Old man, are the woman in your family that brutal." General Liu laughed.

Zhao Cheng could only laugh as well, the woman in the Zhao are indeed brutal and scary. He can always remember his daughter torturing them before.

"Elder General Liu, since I won how about we all go to dinner. I won't mind if you bring your grandson as well. As a token for scoring the same as me, I know if you took it seriously you've done the same as I did." Elizabeth suggested since she knew General Liu was the best shooter as well in the army.

"Old man you have a wonderful granddaughter, then I'll call him now."

That evening, they all decided to head home to Imperial Garden Plaza. Since most of the people invited were officers that knew Elizabeth. Although General Liu's grandson was present as well, she did not hesitate to be herself for she knew the general would have explained everything to his grandson.

"Elizabeth this is my grandson Liu Lingxin." General Liu said.

"Miss Elizabeth Knightley a pleasure to meet you." Liu Lingxin said.

"Doctor Liu the pleasure is mine, just call me Lizzy." Elizabeth greeted the man.

"Please, Ling is fine." Liu Lingxin said.

"My gosh old man, your son has indeed found a beautiful wife, your grandson is so handsome." Zhao Cheng teased the old man.

"What do you mean by that, I looked like him when I was young." General Liu proudly said.

"Old man, stop dreaming." Zhao Cheng laughed.

Everyone else in the room laughed as they continued to tease General Liu, Elizabeth excused herself as she went ahead and help prepare the meal.

It pleased everyone at the table when they saw all the delicious food Elizabeth has prepared with the chef for them. As they all dug in and tried each dish. The different delightful expressions came out from their faces.

"The Lady of the Zhao are indeed talented."

"They are not just skilled in combat but are a capable housewife."

"Lizzy, you are indeed a great cook." Liu Lingxin praised the girl for her skills.

Elizabeth smiled, "Everyone thanks. Please enjoy yourself."

"Lizzy, if you don't mind me asking, when will your movie be released?" Liu Lingxin asked.

Elizabeth was surprised that Liu Lingxin was updated when it comes to the entertainment world, she thought he'll be burying himself in books and research.

"I didn't know your granddaughter is an actress?" General Tan added.

"I am indeed Elder General since no one knew who I am I took the ident.i.ty of the actress Li Zi. The movie is still being finalized I shall inform you at once Ling." Elizabeth explained.

That night everyone enjoyed each other company as they shared stories of everyone's past life to the young ones.
