She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 962: Chapter 1015: Ruined the Plan

Sheng Ning stood against the wall, her eyes slightly narrowed as she carefully observed Wu Long and the surroundings.

”Let me go,” Wu Long said viciously, ”or I’ll snap her neck.”

Xu Qigang’s face was somber, his ears moved slightly as he quickly calculated the time and speed it would take for the rescue personnel to arrive. Light footsteps echoed from the stairwell, and in just ten minutes, this place would be completely surrounded.

But time was short, the hostage could be in danger at any moment.

He looked up, suddenly seeing a scene that made his heart pound with fear.

For a moment, Xu Qigang’s mind went blank, then he suddenly recalled Xiao Ning’s astonishing performance at the Research Institute.

Then he chose to trust, giving Renault a knowing look. The two had long been in sync, simultaneously causing gunfire to erupt. Before Wu Long could react, he had already fallen to the ground!

Sister Guo stared wide-eyed.

Renault moved up to support Sister Guo, who was about to fall, and checked Wu Long’s breath.

”Dead.” After saying that, he discreetly gave Xu Qigang a thumbs-up, then willingly started cleaning up the scene.

Sheng Ning looked at the weapon in her hand, suddenly feeling it was more useful than a knife.

With a solemn face, Xu Qigang came forward and tightly held her in his arms without saying a word.

She could feel his strong body trembling slightly.

”Don’t be afraid, you’re hurt now, I’ll protect you.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qigang’s face turned livid. Was he afraid? What he feared was her, and her boldness had startled him.

”Hahaha...hahaha...” From behind came the unabashed laughter of the Little Hooligan, ”Hahaha... you’re killing me with laughter, hahaha... cough cough...”

Before he finished laughing, someone kicked him hard from behind, almost causing him to fall flat on his face.

”Who dares to kick this young master?”

”You annoy me just by existing.” It was Renault, dragging the previously unconscious person on the ground. Judging by his expression, the person wasn’t dead, and he was preparing to send him for emergency treatment.

”Cough cough... Why is it you, you little brat?”

”Of course, I’m here to protect our captain.”

”Hahaha...hahaha...” Qin Yue shamelessly continued to laugh, ”Living Yama, I said you’re invalid, yet you didn’t admit it. See, first protected by your wife, and now by a kid. You’re doomed.”

Suddenly, the corridor lights brightened.

Everyone clearly saw Xu Qigang’s face clouded with anger, as someone covered Qin Yue’s mouth, ”Little Hooligan, stop talking!”

Everyone offered Qin Yue a deep look of sympathy.

The captain would be discharged tomorrow, and after at most a month of recuperation, he could beat the Little Hooligan until he was searching for his teeth on the floor! Hehe... really looking forward to a month from now.

Xu Qigang withdrew his gaze, gathering his little wife and returning to his room, slamming the door shut, leaving everyone stunned.

Indeed... the captain was really angry! He even slammed the door, something he never did even when he was furious; at most, he would slam people.

”Little Hooligan, you’re in big trouble.”

”Little Hooligan has some good news: our captain’s recent promotion notice came half a month ago. Just waiting for his recovery to formalize it!”

”So?”

”So your rank is lower than his, better watch your tone when speaking to a superior.”

”...”

The door of the room wasn’t actually slammed by Xu Qigang, but he had pressed Sheng Ning against it entirely.

”Without my permission in the future, don’t run around indiscriminately, and don’t come out.” He commanded harshly.

Sheng Ning obediently nodded, knowing her actions had truly frightened him.

”Actually, I’m not afraid at all.” She looked at him with bright eyes.

Xu Qigang pursed his lips and directly confiscated the weapon from her hand.

”Pack your things, we’re going home soon.”

”Are we leaving tonight?”

”If I don’t leave, I’m sure Dean Guo will make me leave.”

Xu Qigang pursed his lips and directly confiscated the weapon from her hand.

”Pack your things, we’re going home soon.”

”Are we leaving tonight?”

”If I don’t leave, I’m sure Dean Guo will make me leave.”

Sheng Ning quickly nodded, watching as he left the room with a stern face, suddenly feeling sympathy for the people outside. An enraged Living Yama was terrifying!

******

Late at night, Li Xia stayed in a shabby guesthouse in the old district, with Ruan sitting across from her, looking sullen.

”Captain, Wu Long hasn’t returned yet.”

Li Xia abruptly stood up and went to the window, lifting the curtain to look outside. The old, dilapidated street had no streetlights, surrounded by silence, with only occasional barks from dogs.

”Did that guy act impulsively again? I told him, if it doesn’t work, then retreat. Does he really think the Living Yama is that easy to deal with?” If he could kill the Living Yama, the old captain wouldn’t have died.

The person Ruan looks down on the most are those who become careless just because they have some skills, acting like they’re the greatest in the world, unaware of how they might die in the end.

Li Xia stood motionless by the window. Suddenly, a flashlight beam flickered in the darkness.

”Not good, we’ve been spotted. Retreat immediately.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan quickly stood up, and four people rushed out from the next room, retreating swiftly.

”The prey has fled, go after them!”

In an instant, the entire old street seemed to come alive. Lights blazed, and the little fat man and a buddy stood up foolishly, surrounded by countless dark gun barrels pointed at them, nearly scaring them out of their wits.

”Surrender, surrender immediately.”

The little fat man squatted on the ground in fright, raising his hands above his head.

”Wh... what’s happening?”

”I don’t know! When did they arrive?”

”Brother Fat, we didn’t do anything wrong!”

”You’re dumb!” The little fat man smacked him.

Thinking of the War Wolf Rescue Team, the little fat man immediately felt uneasy. Had he accidentally messed something up?

War Wolf Rescue Team Squad Captain Wu Houhai stormed in with his men, only to find an empty room. Frustrated, he kicked the little fat man to the ground.

”You son of a bitch, you screwed up my big plans, you know that?”

”Captain, Captain, calm down,” Zhao Changqi hurriedly interjected to stop him, ”Our people are already chasing them.”

”Chasing them is useless.”

”Don’t be angry, don’t be angry,” Zhao Changqi, who knew the little fat man, urged.

The little fat man knew he’d made a big mistake, likely let an important criminal escape due to his carelessness. So he stayed silent, with his hands above his head.

Oh my god! The War Wolf Rescue Team is scary as hell!

”How can I not be angry? These bastards came here to seek revenge on our captain and were already at the hospital tonight. The Little Hooligan used every trick to extract a lead. It was a foolproof plan until these two idiots let the person escape. I have reason to suspect they are enemy spies.”

Listening to Wu Houhai, Zhao Changqi almost wanted to kick the little fat man again. ”How’s the captain? Is he alright?”

Wu Houhai shook his head with an annoyed expression, then nodded.

”So, how is he?”

Wu Houhai, breathing heavily with anger, said, ”He’s okay for now, but now that we’ve let the mastermind escape, who knows if there will be trouble in the future.”

”Damn it!” Zhao Changqi cursed in frustration.

Upon hearing this, the little fat man became even more anxious, attempting to stand up, only to be pressed down by a nearby person again.

”Captain Wu, it’s a misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding. I didn’t do it on purpose; we just found that woman suspicious, so Meng Ping asked me to follow her.” At this moment, he had to mention Meng Ping’s name; otherwise, he was doomed.

”Meng Ping sent you? Why did he send you here?”

”Well, Meng Ping went to bail out one of our company employees this afternoon and encountered a rather suspicious woman. We deduced she is from the South, possibly knowing Brother Meng Fan. Brother Meng Fan only went to the South once, so we suspected she might be from the Southern Border...” the little fat man explained frantically.

Enraged, Zhao Changqi swore, ”The person you bailed out, was it Xu Mo?”

”Yes, yes...”

”Damn it!”

”Take them back,” ordered Wu Houhai.

”Yes!” Immediately, people around them stepped forward to take the two away without giving them any chance to resist.

Zhao Changqi asked, ”What should we do now, Captain?”

With a grim face, Wu Houhai remained silent for a moment before defeatistly saying, ”This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Our captain set up an ambush half a month ago. Tonight, we could’ve caught them all. But now they’ve escaped, and capturing them again will be harder, leaving endless trouble for the future.”

”Who exactly is that person?” Zhao Changqi recalled the moment of murderous intent at the train station, thinking someone that sinister could not be ordinary.

Wu Houhai gave him a quick glance, ”They’re mercenaries from the Southern Border. Many of their people have died at the hands of our captain and young chairman. A month ago, their boss was killed by our captain! You can imagine how deep this enmity runs.”

As Zhao Changqi listened, his expression turned increasingly severe. Thinking about the incident at the train station, he anxiously said, ”Then the wife is also in danger; surely the dangerous individual at the train station was targeting her.”

”We know,” Wu Houhai wasn’t surprised at all. ”Renault has been secretly protecting the wife during this time. The captain already knows about your performance at the train station.”

Zhao Changqi breathed a sigh of relief, ”That’s good.”

”Good job, keep at it,” Wu Houhai patted Zhao Changqi’s shoulder. ”We’ll retreat first. Inform us immediately if you get any news.”

”Yes, Captain,” Zhao Changqi acknowledged, watching Wu Houhai and a large group of people silently withdraw.

Only after everyone had left did the people on this side dare to step forward.

”Captain, who was that person just now? They had such a strong presence.”

”Exactly! To be honest, even from afar, my legs were shaking.”

Proudly, Zhao Changqi replied, ”That was the captain of the War Wolf Rescue Team Squad.”
