She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Beaten Again

“Who’s Sheng Ning?” Chen Baoshan asked curiously.

“Just the most beautiful comrade from the union,” Wu Houhai blurted out quickly.

This time, with the female comrades attending the training camp, everything seemed calm on the surface within the War Wolf Rescue Team, but the gossip had already spread underneath.

Among which, the name Sheng Ning almost became legendary.

Chen Yingjie sneakily glanced at Xu Qigang. He had heard from Dai Bin that the Captain had personally carried Sheng Ning to the infirmary.

“That’s enough, no more sending,” Shen Feihu said before getting into the car, “This training should yield results; our Rescue Association needs to set an example for the entire rescue world.”

...

“Yes, President, mission guaranteed.”

Xu Qigang watched the Rescue Association’s jeep leave before turning back. As he walked, he commanded, “The President has already intervened personally, we can’t keep the people from the Provincial Rescue Center hanging. Who’s willing to take them on?”

“Captain, I’m willing,” Wu Houhai promptly volunteered.

Li Duoxi wasn’t to be outdone, “Captain, I’m willing too.”

Chen Baoshan, the perennial good guy, spoke slowly, “Captain, please leave this opportunity to me!” Xu Qi drew out the weapon holstered at his waist and fiddled with it absentmindedly. The act sent shivers down the spines of the three men.

“This mission will go to Chen Baoshan. Remember to manage them well, until they’re too drained to make any more petty reports,” he started.

The three of them chuckled gleefully, even the typically honest Chen Baoshan looked ferocious, “Captain, rest assured, I guarantee the mission will be completed.”

“Good!” Xu Qigang patted Chen Baoshan’s shoulder and turned to head back to his dorm.

“Have you guys noticed, the Captain’s not in a good mood today?” The three huddled together and muttered among themselves.

“They say a letter came from his hometown!” Li Duoxi, shrewd and sneaky, whispered, “The letter arrived yesterday. Since the Captain was out, it was left in the office. He must have seen it.”

“What does it say?”

“Marriage pressure!” Li Duoxi looked around cautiously before saying in a low voice, “I heard from Liu Chun that Old Man Xu tried to match the Captain with a wife, but the Captain disagreed. The marriage was to be called off, but for some reason, Old Man Xu vehemently refused to agree, hence the letter!”

The other two looked at him in shock, “Duoxi, how do you even know about this?”

“Heh heh… secret!” Li Duoxi scratched his head, an action that would usually seem simple and honest, yet he made it seem sly.

“You dare to gossip about the Captain behind his back, tired of living?” Chen Baoshan was filled with righteous indignation.

“We’re just concerned about the Captain!”

“Is it concern or curiosity?”

“Of course, it’s concern,” Li Duoxi hit his chest and said with conviction. “Last time, that blabbermouth Liu Chun mentioned ‘wife, wife’, and we’ve been waiting for so long without seeing her – naturally, we got anxious!”

“The Emperor is not in a hurry while the eunuch is,” Chen Baoshan thought. A hero like the Captain could have any woman he wanted; there was no need for them to fret about it.

“I’m going back.”

After Chen Baoshan left, Li Duoxi and Wu Houhai looked at each other and gave a bitter smile. To them, the Captain was naturally an upright hero, but in the eyes of the girls, he was the Living Yama that made people lose courage at the mere mention of his name.

No wonder they worried! Only someone as clueless as Chen Baoshan wouldn’t worry.

Just as Xu Qigang returned to his dorm, Liu Chun came looking for him.

“Captain, Doctor Guo is looking for you.”

“What’s the matter?” Xu Qigang had already taken off his jacket and was only wearing a white tank top, revealing his strong, well-defined muscles.

“It seems you’ve been hit again, and right on that broken rib. Doctor Guo suggests transferring to another hospital.”
