She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 656: Chapter 682: An Unexpected Event

”Of course, a leader would definitely not voice such things, but everyone knew it in their hearts. If Xu Qigang really didn’t come back, then Meng Xingzhi, Lu Yuan, Shen Feihu, and all who initially agreed would be in trouble.

”Something must have happened, something must have happened...” Sheng Ning’s heart suddenly sank to the bottom, gripping her clothes in pain, her mind in complete turmoil.

In her previous life, although she was unclear who had gone to the rescue, one thing was certain—everyone had come back together. Shen Jianguo had been personally wheeled out of the airport by the rescue team.

This time, most people survived, but Living Yama didn’t return...This wasn’t the outcome she wanted; if she could choose, she’d rather things be like her previous life, she didn’t want Living Yama to be in any danger.

”Ningning, don’t worry.” The old master was already deeply concerned about his grandson’s safety. Seeing Sheng Ning like this, he felt like crying together thoroughly with her.

”Carrying out missions always involves risks, and as a family member, you need to be strong.”

Sheng Ning looked at Old Master Chen through tear-filled eyes, nodded firmly, and wiped away her tears with her sleeve, no longer crying.

”You are a family member, and I am as well. Whatever you can do, I can do too.”

”Good!” Old Master Chen exclaimed joyfully, ”How wonderful it would be if you were my granddaughter. I’m a bit jealous of Old Su.”

”Chen Huaying is much better than me!” Sheng Ning didn’t want to mention the Su Family, continuing with her previous topic. ”I know I need to be strong, but if something really happened to Xu Qigang, he definitely would not fail to return with everyone. I am begging you to send a rescue team; otherwise...”

”I know!” Old Master Chen patted her shoulder, comforting her, ”The organization will absolutely not abandon any comrade. As long as we understand the reason, an urgent rescue will surely be launched.”

”We still need to figure out the reason?” Sheng Ning widened her eyes in disbelief. ”Now is the time that equates to life. How can we delay?”

”Ah...Ningning, you don’t understand.” Old Master Chen, in fact, felt as anxious as anyone else, but he had to maintain his composure, pretending everything was fine.

”I understand, I really do! It’s all about politics, about factional struggles.” Sheng Ning stood up, ”You should rest early! I’m going back now.”

”Okay, come to me anytime if you need anything.”

”Thank you! Elder leader.”

Old Master Chen feigned anger, ”Didn’t you always call me Grandpa? Why are you calling me elder leader again? Am I that old?”

Sheng Ning forced a smile, ”Grandpa, don’t worry, they will definitely come back safely.”

”Mmm! I have faith in Qigang and Ying Jie.”

They exchanged greetings with serious expressions.

Leaving the Chen Family, it was almost ten o’clock, a crescent moon hung on the horizon. Spring Festival was less than ten days away; could Living Yama make it back in time for the New Year?

She wondered what was being done to him now? Was he in danger? Was he cold? Was he hungry?

Sheng Ning walked messily towards the General Union, so distracted that she didn’t even hear the small comrade greet her as she passed the security office of the big courtyard.

”Comrade Sheng Ning, Comrade Sheng Ning, are you alright?” The small comrade saw her soul-crushed manner and felt really worried.

Sheng Ning, head bowed, kept walking, not really listening. But Su Yun, who had just been driven out of the gate, heard it; she was cold and hungry, angry and resentful. Hearing Sheng Ning’s name being mentioned by the security office felt like a wolf driven to desperation, ferociously brutal.
