She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1521: Chapter 1597: Qin Xue Isn’t Good Enough

Qin Xue just doesn’t cut it.

No matter how hard she works, she still doesn’t.

Precisely because of how hard she works, people can clearly see that she doesn’t cut it. A person’s effort has a limit; the more they need to grind, the more it shows they lack potential. But it’s different with the Little Hooligan. Ever since he joined the rescue team, whether in training or on actual rescue missions, it all looks like he’s just going with the flow, yet he’s never once slipped up.

And every time at a critical moment, he manages to perform beyond everyone’s expectations.

The Qin Family’s hope for the future is still on Qin Yue.

“Record this.” Su Hai said calmly.

Everyone in the office clenched their fists at his words; the confidential secretary picked up pen and paper, ready to take notes. Because this meant they were going to report to the Command Center—this was no longer just about asking whether his daughter was safe.

Su Hai was serious.

“Since Qin Yue left, none of us have seen him, and we haven’t received any information at all. Xu Zongdui has never been able to find him and had Renault investigate. In the end, it was confirmed he fell into Keperta’s hands in Country S and is currently being held in the Gambling City.”

“Keperta?”

“A man from Country S?”

“He… wasn’t Keperta dead?” Hai Yunfeng said in disbelief, “Are you sure it’s Keperta?”

“I remember Xu Qigang’s mission summary report from Country S clearly stated that Keperta had been killed.” Meng Xingzhi thought for a moment, then asked back.

“We’re sure. We were shocked when we got the news too. Xu Zongdui speculated that Keperta’s heart is likely the opposite of a normal person’s.”

“Damn it.” Meng Xingzhi slammed his palm on the table. “Then he’s clearly coming for Qigang. All of you are in danger.”

“Exactly.” Su Hai leaned back against the sofa, looking out at the night beyond the glass window. Thinking of Ningning’s worry over the phone just now, he rubbed his brow irritably.

He’d originally thought they could return to China soon. Now it seemed everyone’s return would have to be delayed. At the very least, staying in Country M would make rescuing Qin Yue much easier, and Xu Qigang would also be able to act more flexibly.

If they went back to China, things would get tricky. The Provincial Rescue Center and the Commander wouldn’t agree to let the dignified head of the Special Rescue Team personally run a mission. Handing the rescue operation to someone else is something Xu Qigang himself would never agree to.

Thinking of all the things that needed to be handled, Su Hai felt he was going to be very busy.

“There’s more.” He paused before saying, “An’an has just confirmed that she went to the Gambling City alone.”

“What did you say? Su Hai, say that again? How are you protecting her?” The moment Hai Yunfeng heard that An’an had gone to the Gambling City alone, he lost control, roaring into the phone, “I entrusted An’an to you and Xu Qigang, and this is how you protect her?”

“We assigned three of our best bodyguards to stay by her side. Even under those conditions she could still slip away—what do you think that means? You really don’t get it?”

“What does it mean?”

“It means your daughter is a genius. If she wants to leave, no one can stop her.” He hadn’t had the heart to say this to Ningning just now, but with Hai Yunfeng he had no such scruples. “We’re already at our wits’ end, and even Ningning and the two kids’ safety can’t be fully guaranteed. In such a critical situation, Xu Qigang still went to the Gambling City. What more do you want?”

“Calm down, both of you calm down.” Meng Xingzhi soothed, “Minister Hai, please calm down first. An’an will absolutely be fine. Don’t worry, she’s so smart she won’t get the worst of it wherever she goes.”

“I understand. I’m sorry, I lost my temper just now.” An’an was the most important person to him; he’d rather die himself than let her suffer even the slightest harm.
