She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 19: Chapter 019: Efforts and Others

From the train station to where Xu Qigang’s rescue team lived, it took a whole hour of bumping along before they arrived. Sheng Ning was almost shaken apart, her exquisite and delicate face pale white.

Liu Chun was in high spirits today. There was a fairy-like girl sitting in his car! Even the way he pressed the accelerator had more zest than usual.

When they arrived at the gate of the rescue team, Liu Chun flashed a big, toothy grin at the guard on duty.

“Stop for inspection!”

“Yes!”

Liu Chun obediently stopped the car. He was Xu Qigang’s assistant. Usually, he didn’t have to handle buying supplies, but today the cook responsible for it was sick, so the captain had assigned him the task temporarily.

The War Wolf Rescue Team was particularly strict with inspections. Especially when the unfamiliar face of Sheng Ning appeared, she immediately drew attention.

She naturally knew the place was strictly managed, so she got out of the car voluntarily and thanked Liu Chun. “Thank you for bringing me here today. I won’t go inside; please ask Xu Qigang to come out.”

When the soldier on duty heard the captain’s name, his ears slightly twitched, and although he looked straight ahead, his eyes were gleaming.

“Alright! Wait here.” Liu Chun drove the car inside and then couldn’t wait to rush inwards.

“Captain, captain…” His loud voice was howling, making those who were in a meeting laugh out loud.

Xu Qigang’s face was ashen, imposing a sense of murderous intent. Just as the meeting was ending, Zhou Hong stood up to announce the dismissal, then walked out, pulling Liu Chun by the ear back in.

“You rascal, don’t you want to stick around? No respect at all. Tonight, you’re not allowed to eat dinner and have to run two kilometers.”

Liu Chun was completely focused on the girl and didn’t care about anything else. He cried out, “Captain, there’s a girl, a girl…”

“What girl?” Zhou Hong was about to leave, but upon hearing this, he came back.

Liu Chun wiped his sweat and said, “Captain, someone from your hometown is here to see you. Good heavens, she’s really pretty.”

Zhou Hong’s eyes lit up, “Really?”

“Instructor, she’s not here for you.”

“Don’t joke around. If she were here for me, I wouldn’t be so happy!” Zhou Hong used to be a bit of a playboy before joining Xu Qigang’s War Wolf Rescue Team.

After joining, he was put through the wringer by Xu Qigang, and from then on, he held deep respect for him. Zhou Hong was resourceful but also a worrier.

Before he retired, Xu Qigang’s nickname, the Living Yama, was well-known in their district. Zhou Hong had considered finding him a girl from another district, but at the beginning of the year, during the district-wide competition, Xu Qigang beat the Southern District hero so badly that even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him.

The nickname Living Yama spread even further.

Twenty-nine years old, and still, no young woman dared speak to him! Wasn’t that enough to make one anxious?

How could the captain being single make the subordinates feel comfortable taking wedding leave?

“Who is it? How old? Pretty?”

“Oh my god! She’s very pretty. Captain, you should go quickly! Don’t let her stand in the sun.”

When Xu Qigang heard that someone from his hometown was looking for him, he remained indifferent, his face still cold. He bent over and seriously studied the sand table in the office, repeatedly doing simulated analyses in his mind.

Zhou Hong and Liu Chun were both excited, but Xu Qigang’s expression stayed flat, completely ignoring their conversation.

Sheng Ning waited at the gate for an hour, but still didn’t see Xu Qigang. The September autumn sun beat down on her, making her dizzy, her pink cheeks flushed red.

“Miss, would you like to come inside and sit?” Finally, someone couldn’t bear to see her standing there any longer and invited her in.
