She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1675: Chapter 1752: Gaining the Upper Hand

”Cough, cough...” Shen Feihu, with his rough demeanor, embarrassedly coughed and stood up, saying, ”Since that’s the case, I’ll be going. I have to rush to Heihe this afternoon to keep an eye on things.”

He’s always ready for battle, and the situation over there is critical, so he can’t afford to relax.

”President, wait a moment.” Sheng Ning called out and hurried upstairs, returning with a beautifully printed letter, which she handed to Shen Feihu.

”What’s this?” Shen Feihu raised an eyebrow in confusion as he looked at the letter in his hand.

”This is from a friend of mine. They’re also going to Country S and might be able to help Captain Shen.”

Shen Feihu suddenly felt that the thin piece of paper in his hand carried significant weight. He hadn’t expected to gain anything unexpected from his visit today.

In fact, even if he hadn’t come, Sheng Ning was planning to find her friend after lunch. These days, she appeared calm on the surface but was actually quite anxious inside. She didn’t want to show it and make everyone else worry along with her.

Disrupting others during the New Year wasn’t something she wanted to see. Besides, worrying wouldn’t help unless she could actually be of assistance, so she had been working quietly behind the scenes.

For instance, mobilizing the Feng Family’s resources from the Bering Strait to Country S and contacting Earl Beate to inquire about the situation. The piece of paper she had just handed over contained two sets of phone numbers, one belonging to Earl Beate, the other to the Feng Family.

As long as Shen Jianguo arrived in Country S, contacting either of those numbers would ensure his safety. At home, she couldn’t offer any help, and she wished she could go to Country S herself, but reason told her it wasn’t feasible.

What she could do was mobilize more capable people to go. Shen Jianguo represented the rescue team, which was also related to clearing Qin Yue of any suspicions, and that was important.

If Shen Jianguo went with Qigang, they would have the advantage, which was certainly better than sending someone like Shen Yu.

”Well, then, I’ll thank you on Jian Guo’s behalf.”

”It’s the least I can do. He’s going to Country S to rescue Qigang, so I should be the one thanking you.”

”No need to be so polite. If it weren’t for Qigang, Jian Guo wouldn’t have been able to come back.” Shen Feihu knew everything clearly, like a mirror. Suddenly, he thought of something and casually asked, ”By the way, has Qin Xue come by?”

”Huh?” Sheng Ning paused, ”No! Why would she? To be honest, I don’t like Qin Xue, it’s better if she doesn’t come.”

Upon hearing Qin Xue hadn’t come, Shen Feihu immediately became displeased. ”It’s disappointing, especially when the Qin Family has invested so much in her. How could she be so incompetent in handling things? I specifically instructed her to come by and show some gratitude. After all, we’re all busy because of Qin Yue, and she acts like she doesn’t know.”

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He used to think Qin Xue was different from other women, someone with a broad perspective capable of big achievements. Now it seemed she was too immature, lacking in insight and vision, much less than Sheng Ning.

”Heh...” Sheng Ning couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. ”Qigang did all this because of Qin Yue, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Qin Xue.”

”That’s true,” Shen Feihu acknowledged without further comment and waved his hand as he left.

Keperta in Country S.

Cecil drove a jeep through the gates at breakneck speed. If the gatekeepers had been just a bit slower, the vehicle would have crashed into the iron gate.

The guards were so scared that cold sweat started to trickle down.

Miss Cecil was clearly in a bad mood, and anyone who provoked her would be out of luck. One of the quick-thinking individuals rushed to the prison duty room to find Qin Yue.
