Chapter 3, The Bride's Decision

Girls are indeed peculiar; if you ask them to go out in the dead of night to catch a thief, they will shake their heads like a wave drum. However, when it comes to catching ghosts, even though they are terrified, they all eagerly volunteer. Wu Fang and Jing Jing, with excitement in their eyes, took out their phones and frantically sent text messages, not knowing how many "good sisters" they had contacted.

As the operation commenced, in the front was Search Group A leading the way, in the middle was Personnel Group B, and at the rear was Support Group C. Every move was executed with precision. Under the cover of the dark night and the watchful gaze of beautiful women, the tactical maneuvers were carried out to perfection, leaving the five girls in awe.

Jingjing sticks out her tongue, "Such great power, it has been modified."

Cao Sen felt a surge of anger in his heart. He lowered the M4 in his hand and walked over to Yang Xin, whispering, "Sister-in-law, you really shouldn't have worn red clothes to come in, what if..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Sen, Sima De, and others were completely taken aback, while Wu Fang and Zheng Jingjing's eyes lit up.

A group of brothers has been playing special forces for many years, and many actions have become conditioned reflexes. With a swift motion, several team members pinned the girls against the wall, using their bodies to shield them. Cao Sen suddenly exerted force, pushing Yang Xin behind him, using a rough gesture to warn this restless woman

Several girls' faces instantly turned pale, and they simultaneously thought of one word—ghost

Ding Haitao, noticing that the brothers were not paying attention, reached out and forcefully grabbed the chest of the female mandarin duck, then retreated with his teammates

Cao Sen

Yang Xin cast a resentful glance at Sima De, who turned his head, pretending not to see.

The male mandarin duck's head was nodding vigorously again

At this moment, the bride is dressed in a traditional bright red qipao, her hair styled in a bun adorned with red flowers, her entire appearance exuding festivity and signaling to others: I am the bride. Wu Fang and Zheng Jingjing are both strikingly attractive girls from East University, drawing the attention of boys wherever they go. With the three of them standing at the entrance of Cao Sen's dormitory, it would be truly unbelievable if they went unnoticed. Soon, the corridor was filled with onlooking boys, some eager to show off, even going shirtless, pushing to the front to flex their muscles.

Cao Sen observed that the two girls truly resembled scouts, and he shook his head to stop them, saying: "No, we must proceed according to the plan. Team A, move out!"

After this incident, everyone became more relaxed. A couple is even unafraid to spend the night in the classroom, so what do we have to fear with so many of us here

Tengfei and two team members alternately provided cover as they quickly ascended to the third floor. The other members of Team A swiftly followed. The bright lights shone steadily and rapidly around, with beams illuminating every corner where danger might arise. After several exchanges of positions, Tengfei crouched outside the room from which the sound was emanating.

A faint sound emanated from somewhere on the third floor, distinctly clear in the silence of the building

This statement left Cao Sen and the others astonished. They had initially thought that the girls would be shy and propose to terminate the action, but they did not expect such a suggestion to arise.

Sigh, it is often said that beautiful women lack talent, but the enchanting lady before me possesses remarkable skills in strategy. Her techniques far surpass the 'tricks' I employed during my defense. Cao Sen lamented, noticing that the two girls were still texting, and quickly said: "If there are too many people, we won't be able to go. Just invite one or two people."

The bride, regardless of her husband's extreme embarrassment, said to her two female companions: "There is strength in numbers; see if you have any close friends, and invite them all."

"Hey, why aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for someone?" Yang Xin was sincerely causing trouble, her voice not lowered, making it particularly loud in the silent teaching building

Cao Sen was about to speak when he saw Jingjing lift an M4 with the magazine, her finger flicking the safety off as she aimed the gun around, mimicking what she had seen in movies. Frightened, Cao Sen and his brothers hurriedly crouched down to avoid the gun's shifting aim.

Tengfei observed that everyone had entered and led Group A to slowly ascend the staircase to scout ahead, their footsteps silent. The other team members quietly dispersed around the girls. They chose the central main staircase, planning to go up to the seventh floor and then exit from the eastern staircase. However, Caosen encountered a chilling wind in the western staircase, deliberately avoiding that area tonight

Since they could not get rid of them, Cao Sen had no choice but to ask Wu Fang to take the new bride back to her dormitory to change into more convenient clothes for action, and then they agreed on a time and place to meet. He then called over a few of his leading brothers to discuss and decided to turn the ghost-catching into "protecting important figures," escorting a few girls around the teaching building before calling it a day. As long as they were not discovered by the school authorities, tonight would be considered a success.

The bride gently patted Wu Fang's hand, signaling her to speak. "Since there is indeed something going on, I certainly cannot stand by and watch my husband take risks, so I will also go tonight"

"Um, Cao Sen, I have caused you trouble," the bride gently said, casting a glance into the dormitory, and all the brothers immediately felt the apology in her beautiful eyes

At midnight, Cao Sen and his team, clad in special operations gear, escorted several girls as they approached their target—the legendary haunted classroom building

Wu Fang and Jingjing simultaneously pouted, looking displeased as Teng Fei led the team to the fourth floor

Cao Sen was filled with anger, Commander, you are something! You managed to clean up all this mess for the brothers, but where did the imposing presence before the wedding during the day go?

The gate was secured with a steel wire lock, but this posed no challenge to the enthusiasts of special forces; breaking locks is a fundamental skill for them. One team member approached and fiddled with it for a moment, and the door opened. As soon as the door swung open, it was like a silent command, and Team A suddenly launched an assault, bursting into the teaching building. Their swift speed and standard tactical maneuvers startled several girls, who were both amazed and deeply impressed by how formidable these boys were

In the silent campus of Dongda University, not a whisper of wind could be heard. The sound of Yang Xin's high heels striking the ground was particularly crisp, echoing far and wide. Cao Sen was secretly timing himself, needing to enter the teaching building before the campus security arrived to check. In the basement of the teaching building lived an elderly janitor, who was quite hard of hearing, and apart from him, there were no other staff on duty. Therefore, Cao Sen and his companions need not worry about being discovered once they entered. As long as they made it into the teaching building, they would have completed half of their task; the remaining half would be the journey back to the dormitory. As for the activities inside the teaching building, it was merely accompanying the girls as they climbed the stairs, so simple that it could be disregarded.

Without waiting for others to take action, Sima De hurriedly filled a clean cup with water and brought it to his wife.

So, what he just said is all true

Sima De gritted his teeth and endured

Special forces operations emphasize striking with lightning speed, where after the preparatory actions, a thunderous blow follows. Tengfei and a brother forcefully pushed open the door and charged in, with the team members following in succession. In an instant, six beams of light illuminated every corner of the classroom

At the door, Teng Fei patted Ding Haitao on the shoulder, "Is it refreshing?"

A Group report, safety. The voice of the group leader, Teng Fei, came through Cao Sen's headset

Sima Deteng shuddered, turning around to unleash his anger, but he heard Cao Sen's voice in his earpiece: "B 1, B 1, maintain your alert position"

At this moment, Groups B and C also arrived on the third floor. At the stairway, the members of Group A quietly shared what they had seen with everyone. The girls overheard this, their faces flushed with embarrassment, and they covered their mouths, laughing uncontrollably

The male mandarin duck continued to nod vigorously

Cao Sen felt increasingly angry; despite his usual disdain for women, he could not afford to neglect the bride at this moment. After all, Sima De was his own brother. He quickly put on a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, please have a seat." He then turned around and instructed, "Find the cleanest cup and pour some water for my sister-in-law."

How nice it is to have someone else's wife!

Cao Sen blocked the furious Sima De, inwardly lamenting, "Brother, can't you see? She is taking revenge on you. You left your bride on your wedding night to go play special operations; which bride could swallow this grievance? Now she is clearly stirring up trouble. Having stirred the pot, these brothers will naturally blame you. If the brothers fall out, she will be pleased. But can you stop them from going? If you don't let them go, who knows what consequences might follow? At this point, it is useless to say anything. Even if you want to obediently return with her to consummate the marriage, it is already too late.

Ha, I am not afraid

Members of Group B assisted six ladies as they slowly ascended to the second floor. Following Cao Sen's command, the members of Group A turned on their tactical flashlights, illuminating the corridor with a bright, icy blue light

This teaching building is a massive structure, comprising eight floors. The first to seventh floors constitute the main body of the building, while the eighth floor features a spacious conference room, resembling a hat perched atop the seventh floor. Inside the building, there are three staircases running from east to west, with only the middle staircase leading to the eighth floor. Due to the presence of rooms surrounding the staircases, there are no walls that allow for natural light, making the interior quite dim even during the day, relying solely on wall lamps for illumination. However, this design facilitates tonight's operation; once on the second floor, Cao Sen can order the tactical flashlight attached to his gun to be turned on without worrying about being seen from outside the building.

In order to cause trouble, Yang Xin did not even change her clothes and participated in the operation wearing a qipao and high heels, so this kick carried significant weight, with the sharp tip of her shoe digging into Sima De's backside

Tengfei suppressed a laugh and made a gesture to withdraw

Don't... don't shoot, I am a student from Tokyo University

Cao Sen waved his hand, and Group B escorted the girls into the teaching building, closely followed by Group C. The last team member closed the door and reached through the gap to hang the wire lock on the handle outside the door

The bride ignored her husband, pulling Wu Fang and Zheng Jingjing to sit on the bed, smiling as she asked Cao Sen: "May I ask your esteemed surname?"

This remark is indeed effective, as the two girls put down their phones and curiously looked at the weapons in the dormitory. Jingjing picked up an M4 to play with, while Wufang attacked the unfaithful man: "Brother-in-law, you are really too much. My sister followed you when she saw you sneak out, called me when you entered Dongda, and then followed you here. It's only because my sister is so magnanimous; if it were me, hum!"

In the darkness, Sima De felt a deep resentment in his heart, thinking, "How did I end up marrying such a woman? Damn it, I won't consummate this marriage; tomorrow I will divorce her!"

The scene before them stirred the team's emotions; it was a pair of little mandarin ducks hiding in the classroom, engaging in a secret romance. Five or six desks were pieced together to form a bed, covered with cotton fabric. The male duck was lying on top of its partner, its snow-white rear trembling under the light.

After just a few seconds in the darkness, Wu Fang became anxious, groping to grasp Jingjing's hand, her palm slick with sweat. Outside the building, she did not feel afraid, but once inside, all the various legends about ghosts she had heard over the past four years flooded her mind. Unable to see Cao Sen and the others, cold sweat began to trickle down her back. She sensed that Jingjing's hand was also clammy with sweat.

Tengfei first reported to Caosen using the microphone: "Group A report, safe." He then signaled the team members to turn off the tactical flashlights. Although Yuanyang had drawn the curtains, he still worried about being seen by people outside the building

The team members were waiting for Cao Sen's command. The current situation was unexpected; they had originally come to the teaching building for a casual visit, primarily to be on guard against the patrolling security guards. They never anticipated that something would actually happen inside the teaching building. Regardless of what was happening on the third floor, something had occurred. Movement would not make any noise. What should they do? Should they leave or investigate further? If they simply withdrew from the building, how would they hold their heads high in front of the girls in the future? Movement would not make any noise. What should they do? Should they leave or investigate further? If they simply withdrew from the building, how would they hold their heads high in front of the girls in the future? Sima De could forget about standing tall in front of his wife. Up! Cao Sen made a decision.

Tengfei and the others, upon hearing the commotion, came out to take a look and were left dumbfounded. How did Sima De and his wife both arrive? Could it be that on their wedding night, they chose not to enter the bridal chamber but instead to engage in a mock battle as a couple? And what about Wu Fang and Zheng Jingjing?

Cao Sen dared not let the three beautiful women stand at the door any longer, quickly ushering them inside. He called out a few tall and strong brothers from Tengfei and Guo Jing to drive away the onlooking boys, finally managing to restore some peace to the dormitory building

Ding Haitao, a member of Team A, approached the "bedside" and said in a low yet authoritative voice: "Special police drill, we did not see you, and you did not see us, remember that"

What surprised the Cao family brothers even more was that when Sima De and the others' wives entered the room, without the wives needing to ask any questions, they candidly revealed the origin and plan of tonight's operation. In the end, they playfully flattered their wives, saying: "I know my wife is the most understanding. Just think about it, my brothers are going to catch ghosts tonight; how dangerous is that? Could I just abandon my brothers and go off to enjoy my wedding night? I know you wouldn't want that either. It's just that you didn't know about this beforehand; if you had, you would have definitely chased me away, right?"

Hehe, we are just having fun, what ghosts or anything like that...

The male mandarin duck nodded vigorously, avoiding the gaze of these special forces who seemed to have descended from the heavens.

Seeing his wife acting so domineering, Sima De's initial feelings of guilt towards her transformed into anger. How can I continue to feel sorry for you when you can't even give me a bit of face? How am I supposed to maintain my standing among my brothers in the future?

The bride smiled and waved her hand to interrupt Wu Fang, saying to Cao Sen and the others: "My name is Yang Xin, please don't call me sister-in-law, it makes me sound so old. By the way, I am Fang Fang's cousin"

Cao Sen felt overwhelmed, as this aunt was truly difficult to deal with. He hoped nothing would go wrong tonight. Fearing that Sima De and Yang Xin would hold him accountable, he issued the order directly: "Team B, proceed with the operation."

Cao Sen's words were not finished, and Wu Fang was unwilling, "You still say there isn't, four years ago when I first entered Dongda, I heard my senior sister say this."

This is a small classroom designated for a class, where Tengfei has attended lessons before and is familiar with the arrangement of the desks and chairs, which is advantageous for his movements. Observing that his companions are in position, he carefully inspects the door, which is not locked and is slightly ajar.

In reality, none of these young people believe that ghosts exist in this world. The so-called "ghost-catching operation" devised by Cao Sen and his group is merely a way to make the war games more thrilling. Although the girls feel scared, they are more inclined to frighten themselves. Therefore, when the tactical flashlight is turned on, the girls, upon seeing the light again, become braver. Moreover, with more than a dozen super special forces guarding them, who is there to be afraid of?

Only the bride, Yang Xin, secretly vowed to herself that it was this group of people who had seduced her husband to the point where he wouldn't even enter the bridal chamber. Now they were still enthusiastically performing, and she was determined to cause trouble! She thought about how at this time she should have been lying in her husband's arms, under the warm light, either sleeping or sharing sweet whispers, how romantic and warm it would have been. Instead, she was wandering around the campus, which made her even more resentful. She glanced at her husband, who was nearby, seemingly on guard with his gun pointed forward, not sparing her a single glance. Unable to contain herself, she lifted her leg and kicked.

Cao Sen felt in his heart - Picture - Book praised: Impressive, Sima De's wife is not an ordinary person

Jingjing disdainfully curled her lips and said softly, "Coward, it's just a toy gun."

The beautiful Yang Xin had never been treated this way by a man before; feelings of astonishment, disappointment, and anger surged within her, rendering her temporarily silent. Meanwhile, her former colleague Ma De had simply moved to the outermost perimeter of Group B's protective circle, half-kneeling, bracing his gun against his shoulder, and pretentiously searching with great care, completely disregarding his wife.

Several girls found it quite amusing

"Yes, Fangfang and I will lead the team, and you all follow behind!" Jingjing also appeared to be in high spirits

Wu Fang looked up with an excited expression and said, "Let’s search all the classrooms and see how many pairs we can find"

The bride ignored Sima De, noticing that Cao Sen was at the forefront of the crowd, and asked: "Is what he said true?"

Several team members finally couldn't help but chuckle, as Ding Haitao was being too mischievous

Wu Fang smiled and wanted to tell her cousin that the female ghost in the red dress is the most formidable, but before the words could leave her mouth, the scout soared to the corner of the second and third floors, suddenly crouching down and making a "stop" gesture

Although Yang Xin came to stir things up, and although Wu Fang and Jingjing called three more girls over, Cao Sen and the others still strictly adhered to the rules of special forces, as if they were genuinely protecting a political figure during a transfer. Their entire outfit made several girls exclaim how cool they looked: black combat boots and battle uniforms, black tactical vests and masks, steel helmets, holding black matte-finished M4 assault rifles, with black handguns peeking out from black soft leather holsters on their thighs, looking even more like special forces than real special forces.

In fact, the situation that Tengfei and his peers encountered, while not common in universities, is certainly not unique. Student couples, in need of excitement and lacking alternative venues, often resort to using classrooms. This option is cost-effective, familiar, and offers a different kind of stimulation, making it an ideal location for student couples to engage in intimacy. Of course, this requires a bit of courage

Tengfei smiled and leaned over to say softly: "Remember to brace the door before getting into bed next time"

Yang Xin leisurely walked a few steps in her high heels, "Where are the ghosts? Why can't I see them?"

Wu Fang was taken aback and quietly complained, "Sister, keep your voice down, you scared me to death!"

Cao Sen cursed Sima De in his heart for causing such a commotion. The campus was bound to be lively for a while, as it was said that the boys' dormitory had welcomed the first bride since the establishment of the school. This bride did not go anywhere else but directly found a certain dormitory and spoke certain words to a certain someone. Damn it, graduation is just around the corner, and now this happens!

You cannot leave this classroom tonight; keep doing what you need to do and what you love to do until dawn. Remember?

Cao Sen seized the gun from Jingjing's hand, switched it to single-shot mode, aimed at a row of beer bottles in the corner, and pulled the trigger. With a sharp crack, one beer bottle shattered, and the 6-millimeter steel ball, still with momentum, rebounded off the ceiling before falling to the ground

Upon hearing this, the brothers understood; this girl must have played before
