"They said he trailed the Scarred Man, and by all logic, he should’ve returned by now."
"Let’s call an end to today’s meeting," Xu Qigang suddenly stood up, startling everyone.
Dai Bin beat a hasty retreat, while the others looked at Xu Qigang nervously.
"What’s up, Captain?"
Xu Qigang appeared calm, but his friends and brothers of many years still sensed something was off.
"Chen Yingjie would never miss a meeting without requesting leave first," Xu Qigang said, causing the faces of those present to turn pale, "Chen Yingjie went on a mission last night."
"When was he supposed to return from the mission?"
Xu Qigang rubbed his temples, "You all go out, Zhou Hong stay behind."
After everyone left, Zhou Hong moved his seat a bit closer to Xu Qigang, "Everyone lingered because they wanted to inquire about the Young Chairman’s situation."
That newspaper, many in the unit had seen it. Quite a few had been to battle with the Young Chairman themselves, and they all knew that Bai Tian’e was still his fiancée!
With such an incident, it was no wonder they were concerned; Zhou Hong felt anxious too. But the Captain had been on a secret mission in Country S, and upon his return, there were many matters he had yet to attend to, and they were all still unclear about the exact situation in Country S.
With the confidentiality agreement in place, if the higher-ups don’t give the green light, they can’t even ask.
"Who is that man?" Zhou Hong asked directly, "I absolutely don’t believe it’s you, so who is it actually?"
"Shen Yu!" This time, Xu Qigang didn’t hide anything and took out a small black box from his drawer and handed it to Zhou Hong, "Help me deliver this to Meng Ping."
"Okay!" Zhou Hong took it without a second word and agreed, "I really didn’t expect it to be him, how could he do such a thing? Isn’t he good friends with the Young Chairman?"
"Good friends?" Xu Qigang asked back in surprise.
Zhou Hong was taken aback, remembering that before Xu Qi joined, the Young Chairman and Shen Yu indeed had a pretty good relationship. They were both competitive with and respectful of each other. It was only after Xu Qi came that he grew distant from Shen Yu, coincidentally because he shared a rescue squad and dormitory with the Young Chairman.
Zhou Hong looked at Xu Qigang with a strange expression, "Before you joined, things between them were good; after you arrived, it turned sour. Do you think he’s jealous of you because of this?"
"Get lost!" Xu Qigang kicked Zhou Hong, nearly breaking him apart.
"Good Lord! Can’t you be a little gentler? How can I compare to tough guys like Chen Yingjie and Li Duoxi? Your kick nearly cost me half my life."
Xu Qigang touched his nose, "I didn’t expect you to be so slow to not even dodge." Implicitly saying, he had been quite gentle.
"..." You kick someone and still taunt them, who does that?
"When does Shangguan Tao finish his training?" Xu Qigang, lighting up a cigarette, leaned back in his chair and blew out smoke rings. His administrative director had been off training for half a year; afterward, more training. For six whole months, the administrative director’s post had been vacant.
"If this doesn’t end soon, we’ll apply for a new administrative director." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovєlFіre.net
"If Shangguan Tao hears that, he’d probably die of anger. Better not to say it."
"I’m just moving him up to the General Political Department, it’s normal for people to aim high," Xu Qigang said nonchalantly, picking up the phone to dial a series of numbers. Soon, the call connected, and a lazy male voice came through.
