She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 965: Chapter 1018

The crowd became restless, ”Shen Feihu, hasn’t your Rescue Association already set up? How could it still fail?”

”Exactly, this is already the third batch, how many more are coming?”

Shen Feihu held out five fingers.

”Two more batches?” A perfectly timed setup with five consecutive steps is already expert-level. It’s like playing chess; a chess master can think three moves ahead.

Like this, it’s already equivalent to thinking five moves ahead.

”Are you boasting?”

Shen Feihu widened his eyes, ”Do I look like I’m boasting? Can’t you count? This is five, we’ve arranged eight batches in total for the encirclement. But if the first batch fails, the likelihood of success for the subsequent ones decreases with each attempt.”

”Eight batches?”

”Impressive! Old Shen, you’ve made me look at you in a new light.”

Shen Feihu laughed shamelessly, though the task wasn’t solely assigned by him. Having a competent subordinate makes things much easier and less worrisome.

”It’ll be trouble if we can’t find her.”

Finally, Meng Xingzhi spoke, ”Meng Ping is already on his way, I will make sure he gives me an explanation.”

The others remained silent, as the task’s failure indeed required an explanation.

Just as the conversation was on this note, the meeting room door was pushed open, and Meng Ping entered to find so many people present.

”Living Yama, why are you here? Weren’t you hospitalized?”

”You bastard! Get inside and stand against the wall.” The usually good-tempered Meng Xingzhi finally lost his temper after holding it in for so long, ”What on earth happened tonight? Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused?”

”President, please don’t be angry.” Lu Yuan pulled Meng Xingzhi to sit down and said to Meng Ping, ”Explain the situation from tonight, and don’t stand by the wall, come to the front.”

”Yes!” Meng Ping walked to the front and recounted the situation when he consulted Li Xia at the police station this afternoon. ”When I returned, I just felt this person wasn’t simple. She must have known someone other than me, likely my brother. She said she came from the Southern, but everyone knows my brother grew up in Northern and participated in the Southern Border war for over two years. The more I thought about it, the more I suspected she was a Southern Border person, so I had the little fat man follow her. I didn’t expect her identity to be so complicated.”

Speaking of which, he felt perplexed; the little fat man was caught too!

”Then this really can’t be blamed on Meng Ping.”

Someone spoke up in his defense, and Meng Xingzhi’s expression eased considerably. As long as his son didn’t make any fundamental errors, it was all right. Meng Ping was fearless and reckless since childhood, and he truly feared he’d end up like Shen Yu with a slight misstep.

”Meng Ping, describe the appearance of that woman.” Xu Qigang suddenly spoke, and everyone turned their attention to him.

After all, this incident hinged on him alone.

”Okay!” Meng Ping knew this was not the time for messing around, whether concerned about Xu Qigang or Sheng Ning, his heart raced with cold sweat.

He carefully recalled Li Xia’s appearance, her height, skin color, and so on. Xu Qigang listened with a deepening frown, and finally said, ”I think I know who it is!”

”Who is it?” Everyone stared at him anxiously.

Shen Feihu disdainfully interjected, ”Have you participated in the Southern Border rescue? Have you seen them?”

”Shen Feihu, shut up!” Meng Xingzhi was furious, forcing Shen Feihu to keep quiet obediently.

”This woman is named Li Xia. She once participated in the Southern Border rescue with Scarface, but it wasn’t under my jurisdiction. Instead, she had multiple confrontations with Meng Fan, which is why she was surprised upon seeing Meng Ping.”
