She Lives without Regret in This Life

”Commander, we need to return,” Chen Yingjie whispered. ”I’m afraid if we’re late, everyone won’t hold on.”

Xu Qigang glanced at the time, furrowing his brow, ”Head back to the building first, I’ll be there soon.”

Chen Yingjie gave a teasing smile, ”Hahaha... I knew you would go! Hurry up, I’ll go back and hold the fort. This time, I want to give those foreigners a good beating.”

”Be careful.”

”I know, hurry up! Your wife would probably be overjoyed to see you.”

Xu Qigang looked at Chen Yingjie with some dissatisfaction, and said seriously, ”Qin Yue hasn’t arrived yet, which doesn’t fit the situation. After you get back, have someone check, and make sure to quickly find out Qin Yue’s whereabouts.”

Given Qin Yue’s skills, he should have arrived long ago; it’s impossible for such a delay. The fact that he hasn’t contacted us suggests trouble. I’ve always trusted Qin Yue’s abilities, and for him not to show up implies it’s not a minor issue.

”Got it.”

Seeing Chen Yingjie’s carefree demeanor, Xu Qigang gave instructions with concern, ”Let Renault go! We must find Qin Yue and bring him back safely.”

Upon hearing that Renault would be sent, Chen Yingjie disagreed, ”Is Renault really necessary? Who will ensure your safety if he leaves? Why not send someone else?”

”It’s fine; just let Renault go.”

The mutual understanding between Chen Yingjie and Xu Qigang had grown from years of fighting side by side. Seeing Xu Qigang insist, Chen Yingjie realized the matter was serious.

”Okay, I understand! I’ll sort it out once I get back.”

”Also, Feng Zhenzhen’s safety will be entrusted to you.”

”Me?” Chen Yingjie pointed incredulously at his own nose, ”Commander, you’re not joking, right? You want me to protect her? I refuse, I won’t go even if it kills me.”

It’s not that he’s judging her by appearance, but the woman gave him a bad feeling at first glance. Especially those eyes, filled with treachery and darkness.

”What’s the matter? Are you defying orders?”

”No, Commander. Why don’t I go find Qin Yue instead? Would that work?”

”No, Renault has better skills in finding people. Make sure to guarantee Feng Zhenzhen’s safety; any mistake, and you’re responsible.”

”Fine then!” Orders must be followed.

”Assist her covertly in whatever she does.”

Chen Yingjie wore a mournful expression, ”Commander, I...”

”Carry out your orders!”

”Understood! I promise to complete the mission.”

Xu Qigang nodded, turning to walk towards Broadway Avenue. Along the way, he could not stop thinking about Xiao Ning. His heart felt like a heavy stone was pressing down; now that she was almost within reach, his heart grew even more uneasy.

In the Victoria Theater, An’an had been distracted since morning. After dinner, she stood alone by the window gazing at the bustling traffic outside, not noticing Sheng Ning’s presence behind her.

”What are you thinking about? You’re so absorbed.”

”I’m wondering when they’ll arrive.”

Sheng Ning stood beside her, gazing into the distance. Her heart was also with her man. Yet, she was both annoyed that Living Yama was late and worried he might abandon everything and break the rescue comrade’s principles to find her.

Because that would no longer be the man she has always admired.

Silent, reserved, and steady as a mountain.

She always thought of herself as very strong. Kidnapped, stranded overseas, enduring pregnancy; even during childbirth, her beloved wasn’t by her side. She had accomplished what many women could not.
