Chapter 490: Chapter 490 Nullified Chapter_1 Chapter 490: Chapter 490 Nullified Chapter_1 The meeting room was buzzing with excitement, but the calmest among them was Du Tianning. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, “It’s fine! Let’s wait some more! After all, men change their clothes fast.”
It was already quite an achievement to pry him away from his wife! There were jokes circulating around the military department lately that the Great Devil was afraid of his wife! Many people conjectured privately that the one who could tame the Great Devil must be the fiercest of tigresses.
Only Jiang Linzhang, with a fleeting glance, furrowed his brows.
When he left the hospital, Bei Jiang was seething with anger, but why did he just briefly glimpse a touch of melancholy?
“Linzhang, Linzhang!” Du Tianning called out in a low voice. “Have you met Bei Jiang’s wife? Is she the tigress type?”
Jiang Linzhang almost laughed out loud, but coughed continuously to cover it up. “Ahem… Why would you say that?”
“That’s what everyone says!”
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
In Jiang Linzhang’s mind, the image of a young maiden appeared. Even in a comatose state, she was still radiant, her beauty as stunning as a peony, her purity like a begonia. He commented objectively with four words.
“Beauty of heavenly fragrance.”
“Captain Jiang, that’s not very honest of you.”
“Captain Jiang, although Huo Beijiang has many defects, you can’t be so sarcastic towards him!”
“Your sarcasm, nonetheless, is quite skilful.”
“Exactly! You guys are comrades, brothers!”
Jiang Linzhang was completely confused. What had he done wrong? How had he wronged his friend? Wait… Didn’t these people moments ago all want to beat up Huo Beijiang, showing their teeth and clenching their fists?
How did they switch gears so quickly to defend him?
Huo Beijiang changed his clothes swiftly as expected, reappearing in less than three minutes in full formal attire, wearing his hat, and he walked in.
Hu Shilong was even more upset.
They were all formally dressed. Why did he look better than everyone else?
Huo Beijiang’s dashing face was composed and his posture was erect, the uniform on him seemed to have been tailor-made, perfectly accentuating his tall and flawless figure.
Moreover, after donning the formal uniform, he looked like the epitome of majestic charm. His initially laid back and rampant charisma was now restrained, solemn, and stoic.
“Sit down!” Du Tianning pointed to an empty seat.
Once he had taken his seat, the meeting officially began.
Today’s main topic of discussion was about the recently concluded multinational rescue mission. Originally, it was a matter of the scientific research community and had nothing to do with them.
Now that the rescue mission was complete, it was officially concluded.
But no one could have imagined that Huo Beijiang could even fish out a big shot from a simple rescue mission. The multination scientific expedition team was never a straightforward research operation to begin with.
The relations were intricate and the secrets involved were staggeringly huge.
Mei Ya, the spy they had captured, had just been transferred from the Security Command Prison to the hospital. Along the way, Huo Beijiang had mercilessly tormented her, nearly to the point of death.
Now, they had to keep her alive to continue extracting information.
This matter had shaken up the entire high-ranking officials, and even the Imperial City had given its directives, hence everyone present was aware of it.
Midway through the meeting, Du Tianning changed the subject. “Bei Jiang, you are the one who discovered this matter. I’ve spoken to the higher-ups about it, and they’ve agreed to leave the matter in your hands.”
Everyone in the meeting room was stunned. No wonder the commander insisted on waiting for Huo Beijiang to arrive before starting.
It turns out he was the center of today’s meeting.
“If we are talking about achievements and qualifications, Captain Huo is certainly sufficient to serve as the overall commander. But isn’t his rank too low?” Someone asked with concern.
