She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1754: Chapter 1831: The Guess Comes True

”When will the commander come back? Everyone’s waiting! We thought going to Country M would take at most two months and he’d make it back in time for New Year. Now the New Year has passed.”

Li Duoxi said, and Chen Baoshan, Wu Houhai also came in, looking eagerly at him.

”What are you looking at? Why are you staring at me?” Zhou Hong said irritably, ”I don’t know when the commander will come back either.” He truly didn’t know. In the morning, Renault returned and explained what happened at the hospital and in the forest, and that’s when Zhou Hong realized things had gone wrong.

”Then where is the commander? If he’s delayed and doesn’t return to the Rescue Association, that’s fine; we can go find him.”

”The commander is at Xiangshan Lake No.1 Mansion.”

”Damn!” Li Duoxi cursed, ”I’ve heard that place is for rich people, ridiculously expensive during holidays.”

”What’s the commander doing there?” Wu Houhai asked, puzzled.

”His wife is there!” Zhou Hong coughed, explaining, ”Renault just returned, saying the commander upset his wife, and now he’s standing at the door to apologize!”

”Huh?”

”No way?”

Everyone looked bewildered, unable to imagine the commander standing at the door seeking forgiveness. They really wanted to witness it!

”Director, should we go to help the commander smooth things over?”

”Yeah! We’re all neighbors. His wife is such a gentle person, she’ll surely listen to us.”

Zhou Hong thought for a moment, ”Alright! Then just go over this afternoon!” His wife was indeed gentle, the kind who usually wouldn’t get angry, but if she did get upset, it must be frightening.

This time the matter might not end well, they heard it involves Qin Xue too.

Thinking about Qin Xue made Zhou Hong’s expression even more troubled. When the wife was missing, Qin Xue kept showing concern; everyone thought the wife was dead and didn’t want the commander to continue living like a zombie, so they were somewhat supportive of her intentions.

Now it’s a mess, someone’s getting greedy.

Li Duoxi and the others left happily after getting the go-ahead, while Zhou Hong was in his chair deep in thought. Suddenly, the phone rang just as he picked it up, and Shen Feihu’s roaring voice came through.

”Where’s Xu Qigang? Let him answer the phone for me.”

Holding onto the phone from an old leader was tricky, so Zhou Hong could only say helplessly, ”President, our commander has never come back! I haven’t even seen him yet!”

”What? Never came back? Didn’t he leave the command center early this morning?” Shen Feihu was stunned, but the anger in his words didn’t dissipate, ”This bastard kid, what exactly is he trying to do? It’s like he won’t be happy until he pisses me off!”

Though meant to be an old leader, he truly acted with a patriarchal mindset.

”He’s never come back, so I’m worried too!”

”No need to worry anymore.”

Zhou Hong breathed a sigh of relief, about to ask Shen Feihu the next question when his words nearly scared him senseless.

”Because something has already happened, and I think he’s serious this time; otherwise, he wouldn’t have ignored the Rescue Association entirely.”

”President, don’t scare me, what exactly happened, please tell me.”

”Just now, just now, that bastard Renault actually handed over Xu Qigang’s resignation letter directly to the Organization Department. I coincidentally found out when I came here for something. But Renault is slippery as an eel, and I didn’t even have the chance to intercept the letter.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t be calling in such a furious panic.
