She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 321: Chapter 327

Today, Chairman Shen scolded him, but luckily his skin was thick enough. Living Yama had no idea what ”shame” even was, otherwise anyone else would have come out vomiting blood after such a reprimand.

”This time we didn’t agree, but there will always be opportunities in the future,” Xu Qigang flicked ash off his cigarette, his deep brows and eyes showing a frightening determination. ”I’ve heard that this time the Research Institute didn’t assign the mission to the Rescue Association.” This implied that the War Wolf Rescue Team, which had close ties with the Rescue Association, wouldn’t get the mission.

”Really?” Kong Jie asked incredulously.

The official document had not come down yet, and nobody knew which team would go to Country S to execute the mission. Kong Jie couldn’t believe that Living Yama had gotten the news so quickly, and he looked at Xu Qigang with deep wariness.

It was fortunate that although they were competitors on the surface, they were actually good brothers. Otherwise, how could one live with such a formidable competitor!

”Absolutely! The news will come soon, perhaps before the end of the year, we might know the list of those tasked with the mission.” If the mission wasn’t completed, it could not be revoked; it would only mean dispatching batches after batches of elite forces. If he couldn’t be the one executing the mission, he would be the one rescuing.

Xu Qigang pursed his lips, his heart already harboring a meticulous plan. He thought of the little woman nestled in his arms and a hint of a smile flashed through his eyes.

To provide her with stronger protection, he had to work even harder. Though currently his background was humble, in the future he would make sure everyone knew to handle her, Xu Qigang’s woman, with kid gloves.

He would let no one dare to bully her.

At the same time, within the office of the Rescue Association Chairman, Shen Feihu had changed to a new tea cup, blissfully preparing to head to the cafeteria for a meal.

He had spent the entire afternoon scolding Living Yama and Kong Erleizi, and was in an exceedingly good mood! Usually, whenever Kong Erleizi made mistakes, a scolding from him would meet with glaring eyes.

Just as he was about to leave, the office phone rang.

”Hold on, let me take this call first.” He signaled to Liang Ximing, then turned back to answer the phone.

”Hello, this is Shen Feihu.”

”Hello President Shen, I am from the Research Institute...”

Liang Ximing, who was originally waiting outside the door, noticed Shen Feihu’s complexion growing worse and, without a word, realized something significant must have occurred and hurried inside.

After Shen Feihu hung up, Liang Ximing asked anxiously, ”What happened? Why do you look so upset?”

”Nothing...” Shen Feihu suddenly swayed, almost losing his balance, but fortunately, Liang Ximing quickly caught him.

”Old Shen, don’t scare me. What exactly happened? It must be serious to frighten you like this!” It was highly unusual; even a call from the President shouldn’t have scared him.

This guy was usually fearless.

”The mission has been assigned to the Research Institute,” Shen Feihu said, his complexion grim.

Most comrades at the Research Institute, like those in the War Wolf Rescue Team, were retired comrades, their operational capabilities were on par with regular rescue teams. Even more, because of their scientific research, the Research Institute also possessed several secret weapons. ”I know! Don’t tell me things I already know.”

Hearing this, Shen Feihu gave a self-deprecating laugh, appearing much older and lacking his usual assertiveness.

Liang Ximing frowned suddenly, realizing a startling possibility. ”Could it be... Is Jian Guo assigned to execute the mission?”

Oh God! This was indeed terrifying news.
