She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 788: Chapter 824 This is Not a Drill

“Thank you, sister-in-law,” Zhou Hong was overjoyed, “then when our Captain returns, I’ll have him come to see you.”

“Great! Thank you.”

It was normal for the rescue team to have missions. Sheng Ning recollected for a moment—in her previous life, apart from the mission in Country S, there hadn’t been any significant losses. She breathed a sigh of relief and silently chided herself for making a mountain out of a molehill.

It had only been two days, yet she was already so anxious.

Feihu’s armored car didn’t return until dark. As soon as he stepped out of the vehicle, his assistant and comrades of various ranks crowded around.

“Today’s matters have concluded, and our mission was a complete success,” Feihu declared as he took off his hat and spoke to the crowd, “Everyone disperse now! It was just an exercise, no need to be tense.”

The crowd was speechless.

Was this really an exercise?

Was it?

Of course not!

President, you really have a sense of humor, causing such a big stir and now calling it an exercise.

“Hehe… did Chairman Meng not scold you?”

“Chairman Meng praised me,” Feihu responded proudly, puffing out his chest, “You newbies will never understand. Alright, disperse now! Next time we have an exercise, bring your A-game.”

“Yes, President!” In the eyes of the President, they would always be newbies.

The crowd dispersed, and Feihu along with Liang Ximing led their people to the canteen. After a busy day, having just emerged from Guardian Province, they hadn’t even had time to eat.

Chairman Meng had left on his own in the afternoon, and Feihu had been bustling about before and after. This time, by taking down Shen Yu’s lair and making arrests, he had managed to offend the entire Shen Family.

There was an emergency meeting in the province this afternoon, as the matter concerning Shen Yu was of great importance and had caused an extremely negative impact. As such, the news had been completely sealed off, forbidding anyone to leak information or privately discuss it.

“Have Qigang and Chen Yingjie been found?” Feihu inquired as they walked.

“Not yet!” Liang Ximing shook his head, “Chairman Meng has already sent instructions to keep the loss of contact with Captain Xu a secret for now.”

“Okay!” Feihu nodded, understanding Chairman Meng’s intentions very well. The whole incident was initially about capturing scarface. If word got out, the impact would be too significant. To think that a hired soldier managed to infiltrate right under their noses, many would not escape responsibility if this leaked.

“If Qigang really manages to capture scarface, then it’s the end of the Shen Family,” Feihu sighed. Although he was from a distant branch, witnessing the once colossal Shen Family dragged into the abyss overnight made him feel compelled to reflect.

Countless families would probably be lecturing their sons and grandsons tonight, taking Shen Yu as a cautionary tale. No matter how powerful or influential your family is, if you don’t do your job well, don’t act properly, you’ll still be unlucky, end up in prison, or even face execution.

Before the law, everyone is equal.

“What about Shen Yu?”

“Once he’s in the provincial prison, he can forget about coming out. The General Union’s court will hold a secret trial, and at that time, execution would be a light sentence,” Feihu didn’t want to talk about Shen Yu anymore. No matter how outstanding Shen Yu was in the past, now he’s just detestable.

“Have Kong Jie lead a team to support Qigang; set it up at Heihe. Don’t come back without the person.”

“Yes! Should we send someone to search?”

Feihu pondered for a moment but eventually shook his head, “The border is checked too strictly. If our people are caught, it’s not only dangerous but also gives the other side leverage. Our Foreign Affairs Department would probably be furious.” They always had to consider the national interest first and foremost.
