Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1184 - 707: Feng Tianzhi’s Attitude

”It’s not fright. I don’t mind getting hurt, but the lady... the lady must be safe.” Wen Bao’s anger subsided a bit, but his face was still gloomy. ”I don’t care what your status is, absolutely not allowed to harm our lady!”

”Little Luoye, your driver’s not bad, really not bad...” Zhu Hongyu seriously bowed to Wen Bao. ”Sorry, I was wrong earlier. Here, I sincerely apologize to you.

I promise, I will absolutely never do anything to harm Luo Ye again. When I see the Wen Family’s car, I will definitely slow down to 20 miles per hour.”

Listening to the beginning, it’s nice, but hearing the last sentence, it’s quite... infuriating.

Wen Bao’s anger had mostly dissipated, and since Luo Ye was fine, he didn’t argue with Zhu Hongyu. He started the car, reversed, and turned the direction...

”Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?” Zhu Hongyu stepped forward to block.

”Our lady has something going on, please move aside.” Wen Bao frowned and mumbled softly, ”I’ve never seen someone this annoying.”

Luo Ye, who had been watching the scene, couldn’t hold it in any longer, rubbed her cheeks hard, and controlled her laughter: ”Wen Bao, I’ll get out. Mr. Zhu can take me in.”

Wen Bao locked the car door: ”I don’t trust her driving skills. Master told me to safely deliver you to the division headquarters.”

”Okay, okay, okay, you’re great.” Zhu Hongyu mumbled as he got into the car, sticking his head out to direct Wen Bao, ”Given the situation, if I don’t take the challenge, I’ll definitely be mocked by my brothers.

How about this, after you send Luo Ye in, let’s go to the training ground and race our driving skills to see if my actions earlier were really safe.”

”I’m not competing with you. I’m just responsible for delivering the lady.” Wen Bao mumbled twice, then looked at Luo Ye, ”Lady, I didn’t intend to disrespect you. Her driving just now was completely reckless.”

When an honest person gets serious, it’s really headache-inducing. Luo Ye quickly responded, ”Yes, yes, it was a bit dangerous, but this indirectly shows she trusts your driving skills.

And I reckon, even if we couldn’t stop, she would have found a way to dodge. Wen Bao, she’s really my friend and absolutely wouldn’t harm me, please don’t worry.”

After hesitating, Wen Bao still voiced his concerns: ”There are too many ill-intentioned people around the lady, be careful.”

Luo Ye felt like three dark lines appeared on her forehead, wondering if in others’ eyes, she had really become a target for harm?

...

Office of the Third Regiment.

Zhao Qianqian sat across from Feng Tianzhi, looking uneasy. Feng Tianzhi’s narrow eyes swept over her indifferently: ”Go sit on the sofa first, your documents will be delivered shortly.”

”Yes.” Zhao Qianqian replied and stood up, hesitated for a moment, then sat back down, ”Mr. Feng, when will you be our captain again?”

Without lifting his head, Feng Tianzhi said, ”I can’t decide that.”

A silence lingered, and gradually her delicate face was colored with reddening hues. Zhao Qianqian’s voice trembled slightly: ”Then, can I apply to help in the Third Regiment when there are no tasks?”

”No, you can’t.” Feng Tianzhi stopped his work, looked at her with calm eyes, ”Zhao Qianqian, I know your intentions, but I don’t like you, so don’t waste time here.

It’s not worth ruining your future over me, don’t tell me it’s willingly, the type of woman I dislike the most are those.

You say you’re willing without expecting anything in return, but let’s say hypothetically, if I let you help the Third Regiment, ultimately you gain nothing, and your former colleagues rise above you, would you still dare to say you’re willing without return?

Of course, maybe my assumptions are overly self-indulgent, but it’s better to speak harsh truths than play dumb; this way, it’s fair to you.”

Zhao Qianqian straightened her back: ”You don’t like me at all?”

Feng Tianzhi shook his head decisively: ”No, I never tell lies.”

Shyness and amusement were replaced by sorrow, after a while, she took a deep breath: ”Captain Feng, sorry, I was presumptuous just now. Your feelings, I completely understand this time, and I will never indulge in delusions.

I will make myself work hard, and I believe I will meet a boy I like. Who knows, I might meet him as soon as I walk out the door.”

After staring into her eyes for a while, Feng Tianzhi found a smile in his gaze: ”Indeed, it’s not by chance that you were selected for Fierce Tiger.”

”Thanks for the compliment.” Zhao Qianqian’s eyes curved into little crescents, ”Since I was chosen for Fierce Tiger, I often hear doubts from others. Sometimes, I even doubt it myself, wondering if the leaders’ choice wasn’t as people say, appreciating my appearance and lack of background. Your compliment boosts my confidence greatly.”

”In our kind of department, such guesses are normal. What people don’t know is, that kind of female team member exists, but usually they never show up.”

Zhao Qianqian’s eyes widened, ”There really are?”

”It’s very common. Every country needs to set up some special personnel, it’s for the safety of the entire nation...” Feng Tianzhi paused, waving it off, ”Forget it, won’t talk about this, feels too awkward, just like a leader’s speech, sounds so fake.”

Zhao Qianqian covered her mouth with laughter: ”Captain Feng, when you truly open up, you’re really comfortable to be around. I’ll go sit on the sofa and not bother you anymore.”

Feng Tianzhi hesitated for a moment and said, ”Xiao Zhao, this time you and Luo Ye are going on a mission together, make sure to support each other, once you’re there, you two will be the closest allies.”

”Captain Feng, rest assured, I’m not narrow-minded. I won’t refuse to cooperate well with Luo Ye just because you rejected me...”

”Knock, knock, knock...”

”It’s probably Ye’er.” Feng Tianzhi said as he stood up and quickly reached the door, suddenly pulling it open.

Sure enough, Luo Ye was gracefully standing at the door.

The door opening so suddenly caused Luo Ye to reflexively step back, then a smile curved at the corner of her lips, ”Hello, Captain Feng! Such a warm welcome for me.”

”Indeed, it’s been so long, of course I’m welcoming you, come in quickly.” Feng Tianzhi restored his previous attitude towards Luo Ye.

”Luoluo, you’re here.” Zhao Qianqian also approached.

”Hello Qianqian, this time we’ll fight side by side.” As Luo Ye spoke, she looked at Feng Tianzhi. ”Captain Feng, have our credentials been delivered?”

”Not yet, probably soon.” Feng Tianzhi glanced at the time, ”I made a call earlier, it should be about twenty minutes or so.” As he spoke, he quickly brewed a cup of tea, presenting it like a treasure, ”Ye’er, this was given by my old man, see if it tastes good.”

With the matter laid out, Zhao Qianqian grew more confident and couldn’t help but joke, ”The difference in treatment is too big, I’ve been here all morning and haven’t gotten a drop of water, yet as soon as Luoluo arrives, tsk tsk...”

”Get your own drink; there are empty cups over there.” Feng Tianzhi said as he sat next to Luo Ye, showing pity in his eyes, ”Ye’er, you’ve lost weight.”

Zhao Qianqian returned with a cup of water and put on a brave face, ”Uh, should I leave for a while?”

Feng Tianzhi pointed towards the door, ”As you please!”

”For Luoluo’s reputation, I can’t go out.” Zhao Qianqian boldly sat across from them, ”Captain Feng, don’t scold me, you said I and Luoluo should support each other, so I’m just following your instructions now.”

Feng Tianzhi nodded, ”Good, continue doing that, always adhere to principles.”

”Yes!” Zhao Qianqian saluted and stood up, ”However, as a subordinate, it’s right to go check if the credentials have arrived yet.”

As the door was about to close, Luo Ye hurriedly said, ”Qianqian, could you please go check the driving skill training ground 700 meters ahead for me, to see how Wen Bao and Mr. Zhu’s driving skill competition is going? I’m worried they might collide.”

”Okay.” Zhao Qianqian turned back with a cheeky smile, ”Luoluo, aren’t you afraid I’ll think you’re purposely sending me away?”

”Would you misunderstand?” Luo Ye asked rhetorically.

”No!” Zhao Qianqian made a funny face and quickly ran off.

”Not bad, she’s perceptive.” Feng Tianzhi pointed at the teacup, ”Ye’er, this is top-grade Maojian tea before the rain, brewed by a master with fifty years of experience, it tastes pretty good and is healthy, take the rest with you when you leave.”

Even though there’s an expectation it might be pushed around, the outcome is predictable, so Luo Ye cheerfully nodded, ”Alright, I’ll not stand on ceremony with Captain Feng. By the way, I’m curious, why collect the credentials from you? I wanted to ask Director Lei yesterday, but he seemed quite rushed, so I held back.”

Feng Tianzhi leaned back comfortably, his slanted eyes charmingly gazing at Luo Ye, ”Isn’t it simple? Could Ye’er not figure it out?”

Luo Ye silently sipped a bit of tea, ”I understand now, Director Lei is indeed cautious.”

”Explain in detail, see if your guess is correct.”

”For safety’s sake, since Captain Feng has left Fierce Tiger and been demoted, even if there were spies, they wouldn’t expect the mission to be arranged from here.”

”Correct, that’s exactly it. Although such worrying might be unnecessary, with tasks like these, Fierce Tiger must take extra care to make detours in case of emergencies.”

”Understood.” Luo Ye nodded, ”My thinking still isn’t meticulous enough.”

Feng Tianzhi stared straight at Luo Ye until she turned her head, and then said, ”Ye’er, Hang Menglin’s matter has nothing to do with you; no matter who carried out that mission, it wouldn’t have been done better than you did.”

”But if I had thought a step further beforehand and persuaded Coach Hang more, perhaps it wouldn’t have ended up like that.” Luo Ye sighed, ”This ruined two lives, how can I not ponder it?”

”Xiang Lianxing’s self-destructive behavior can only be blamed on his immaturity; you can’t fault anyone for it. Ye’er, why punish yourself for someone else’s mistakes?” Feng Tianzhi sighed lightly, ”Hang Menglin left, and I feel uneasy too. Think about my relationship with her; we met only through conflict.

Even so, discomfort is just discomfort; I wouldn’t assume responsibility recklessly. According to what you said, should I blame myself for not stopping her from leaving school back then?”
