The instructor hadn't expected Lan Xue and Luo Zheng to set up an ambush and kill the scout, looking at the situation incredulously without immediately answering Lan Xue's question. Instead, he went to the brig and, upon seeing the corpse, believed completely, feeling extremely fortunate. He grew more fond of Luo Zheng, thinking if it weren't for Luo Zheng's gunshot scaring off the formidable enemy, Song Yang and the others might have died. The thought of having to explain Song Yang's death to the old commander if he had died at the Training Team made the instructor shiver, and he agreed to Lan Xue's suggestion.
