She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1248: Chapter 1318: Keep Searching

Xu Qigang moved slower than usual, the resolute and understated man, as steady as a mountain, finally cried like a child at this moment.

”Captain Xu.”

”I remember!” he said hoarsely, ”I will always be a rescue comrade.”

”Then please obey the order!”

”...Yes!” he turned around in despair, looking at the vast blue sea, and slowly greeted, ”Chen Yingjie, come with me.”

”Captain, I won’t go.” Chen Yingjie didn’t look much better either. Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen had already returned from the base, and if it weren’t for Mr. Chen always stopping them, they would’ve come earlier.

”Captain, I want to keep searching.”

”Come with me, don’t leave my side from now on.” he commanded forcefully.

Chen Yingjie pressed his lips together, stubbornly refusing to move from his spot.

Everyone could understand Xu Qigang’s intention; Chen Yingjie, feeling guilty for not completing the task and saving Sheng Ning, was regretfully considering paying for his failures with his life. Only by keeping him in Xu Qigang’s sight could he be stopped.

Mr. Chen stopping his son and daughter-in-law from taking Chen Yingjie back to the courtyard was also because he had already understood this.

Not returning to the courtyard is better; once he goes back, this foolish boy would surely shoot himself.

In the temporary command room, Fan Hengyan looked at the future General Star with heart-wrenching pain.

”Xu Qigang.”

”Leader, present!” Xu Qigang, emaciated, almost couldn’t stand upright.

”I command you to rest for a month, then head to the border to eliminate the stationed hired soldier.” This was the leadership’s diplomatic talk; Fan Hengyan couldn’t order his men to go to another country for revenge.

By allowing Xu Qigang to go to the border, it meant letting him seek revenge.

”Yes!” Xu Qigang stood straight and saluted, ”Thank you, Leader!”

”Are you still loyal to me?” Fan Hengyan asked kindly.

”I will always be loyal to you, and forever a rescue comrade.” This was the vow he made; he also swore to take care of Xiao Ning for a lifetime. To cherish her, protect her, yet he failed to do so.

Thinking of this, Xu Qigang’s heart ached as though it was being tortured with a knife.

On the playground at National Security University, An’an, Chen Huaying, and Feng Xiaoli sat side by side on stone stools. In front was the basketball court, students were energetically playing basketball, and occasionally someone would pass by in front of Chen Huaying, cheerfully greeting her.

”Mr. Chen, show us some skills.”

”Mr. Chen, haven’t seen you play in a while, life’s been dull.”

”Have you switched careers to become a monk?”

Whenever anyone talked to Chen Huaying, she would throw small stones at them, and those hit didn’t get angry, continuing to happily play basketball.

The laughter on the basketball court persisted, yet it seemed very, very far away from the three.

Half a month ago, they were the happiest and most carefree people in this school.

Half a month later, every day they wore worried expressions.

”What’s wrong with you all? Have you gone silly from confinement?” Feng Xiaoli couldn’t hold back, ”Renault is unconscious, and I’m feeling terrible. Why are you all wearing worried looks too?”

Previously, Feng Xiaoli’s greatest joy was secretly watching Renault, watching the stars in his eyes, so beautiful she couldn’t look away. Now Renault was hit by six bullets, the surgery extremely dangerous.

He is still in the intensive care unit, and still in a coma, whether he can wake up is a big question.

Even the doctor has given up hope.

”You don’t understand,” Chen Huaying said weakly. She secretly glanced at An’an, her heart uneasy and worried.

Recently, Principal Feng and the professors asked her to make sure An’an didn’t leave the school, so the two were trapped inside the campus, even Su Huai’an hasn’t come to class for a long time.

The more it’s like this, the more anxious Chen Huaying felt!
