The captain's pupils clearly constricted, and a flicker of panic flashed across his face before he immediately turned gloomy and said:
"Military?"
"What are you talking about?"
"We're just ordinary people, you might have misunderstood something."

He laughed for a while before he just couldn't resist teasing, "No offense, brother, but do we look like fools to you?"
The captain still looked somber as he stared at him.
"I don't understand what you mean."
"Sorry."

Time and time again, they had learned never to reveal their identities to strangers.
Past status not only failed to grant them any preferential treatment, but it could also provoke disdain and malice.
