She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 743: Chapter 774 What Happened

Xu Qigang sighed and cradled her cold hand in his own palm, slowly caressing it, warming it with his body heat.

“It’s not because of Meng Ping, it’s because of Meng Fan.”

His words caused Sheng Ningyi to be taken aback. “What does this have to do with Meng Fan?”

“You’ve been paying too much attention to Meng Fan, which made your best brother here unavoidably jealous.” Xu Qigang gently bit her palm, “You got angry and indignant for him, thinking about avenging him, but you completely disregarded your own safety, taking such a big risk. How could I not be jealous? My little wife has her heart set on my best friend, and I’m almost going mad with jealousy.”

“But Meng Fan is gone! He has already sacrificed.”

“That’s not acceptable either.” Xu Qigang commanded authoritatively, “From now on, you shouldn’t get involved in matters regarding Meng Fan, do you hear me?”

“Oh! I’ll listen to you.” She suddenly understood, Living Yama was worried about her! Today, they had overheard a conversation outside the window, and she caught a bit of it. Even Su Huili looked solemn, which showed how complicated and tricky the matter was.

With her mind, it would be better not to add to the confusion.

“Keep an eye on Chen Huaying.”

“I know! It’s all my fault for speaking carelessly.” Sheng Ning regretted it deeply, wishing she hadn’t spoken. “Could it ruin your plan?”

“No worries!” Xu Qigang rubbed her hand, “Go to sleep! We’ll let you off for tonight.”

“Thank you!” Sheng Ning happily stood and greeted, “Thank you, leader!”

“…” Xu Qigang’s face turned livid; he struggled with his desire, a bit regretful!

At night, Xu Qigang indeed let her be.

She slept inside, while Xu Qigang slept outside. Waking up in the middle of the night, she found the bed empty. Sheng Ning startled awake and abruptly sat up.

Reaching out, she touched the empty space which had cooled down, suggesting he had left a while ago.

Sheng Ning got up and poured herself a glass of water. After drinking, she sat alone on the bed, unable to sleep. Where had he gone? Could it be related to Shen Yu? Could there be any danger?

Even though she was full of confidence in him, she couldn’t help but worry.

At that moment, Xu Qigang was swiftly navigating through the dark city night. His tall figure moved very fast, every step calculated to prevent being in any sniper’s line of sight. His movements, his footing, his next landing spot, all were in blind spots and the dimmest of lights; even if someone brushed past him, they wouldn’t be easily alerted. Instead, they’d think it was a trick of the eye.

This was alertness born from years of training, skirting on the edge of life and death. What Chen Yingjie and Qin Yue admired most about him was precisely this, one of the reasons he was also known as Living Yama.

If Xu Qigang were to handle assassinations, he’d be exactly the right man for the job.

Suddenly, he stopped. A suspicious figure appeared ahead. Xu Qigang frowned slightly and patted the person’s shoulder.

Chen Yingjie turned around, “Captain!”

“What’s the matter? Why the urgency to find me in the middle of the night?”

“Meng Ping didn’t stay at the General Union Courtyard tonight,” Chen Yingjie said irritably. “That bastard, daring to stay in that mess of a place.”

“Damn fool, asking for trouble!” Xu Qigang said irritably. “When leaving, I clearly warned him to stay at home.”

“I guess he is indeed asking for death.” Xu Qigang had been uneasy about Meng Ping when they left and had specifically instructed Chen Yingjie to keep an eye on him, but he still dared.

Did he think Shen Yu was just there for decoration?

“Let’s go!”

The two rushed to Meng Ping’s office, spotting from afar that the inside was brightly lit. Upon approaching, they saw the little fat man, covered in blood, rushing out.

Xu Qigang immediately restrained him. The little fat man struggled fiercely, but after Xu Qigang kicked him on the knee, he finally knelt down and calmed down.

“What happened? What’s going on?”
