Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 314: Chapter 314 What Character

Click-clack, click-clack, woo-woo.

On the train headed to Beijing, Ning Ge lay on his bunk, hands clasped behind his head, listening to the train wheels rumbling over the tracks and the prolonged whistles, his eyes, however, were fixed on the fleeting scenery outside the window, his thoughts drifting and uncertain.

Before his eyes, it seemed as though that sky-touching inferno rose again, those several people who called him ”Little Fox,” all so close to him, their faces all so young, yet never to be seen again—they hadn’t even married and had children.

A year ago, when he had just joined the organization as a newbie, Cang Lang and the others were already veterans, leading him from minor skirmishes to life and death situations, growing increasingly close, until they were assigned the mission to investigate a Japanese-funded Underground, an organization developing nerve toxins, extremely vile, posing a great threat to our military, and rumor had it that even the higher echelons of our military were involved.

That’s why they threw themselves into the mission with the utmost enthusiasm and anger, dedicating all their energy to it.

For that mission, they did so much work, laid in wait for so long, made so many sacrifices, never backing down even as the enemy pressed them step by step, nearly losing their lives, walking on the edge of the cliff time after time, until they finally obtained the top-secret intelligence.

Because he was still a newcomer, he was only responsible for the periphery, while those who truly touched the core were Cang Ying and Cang Lang, Lei Yu, and the rest of the team.

After securing the top-secret intelligence, Cang Ying led Cang Lang and the others to retreat from their cover, and he and Bai Ying also prepared to go for the rendezvous. However, the message he heard was that Cang Ying, who knew the covert signals and intelligence for that meeting, had betrayed them, leading his companions into jeopardy, ultimately perishing together in the fiery hell.

If he hadn’t seen the inferno, the corpses, he wouldn’t have believed it—the outcome turned out like that. They were all supposed to retreat; how did they end up engulfed in the fiery sea?

Now, Cang Ying hadn’t died, didn’t that make it even more certain that during that mission, his betrayal was an absolute fact? Otherwise, how come Cang Lang and the others were dead, yet he survived? How could that be explained?

It was clearly because of Cang Ying’s betrayal that the brothers died, yet he claimed it was the boss’s karma, because the boss knew the truth about the intelligence? Does that mean that the boss’s name was among those high-ranking military officers?

Cang Ying’s words kept spinning in Ning Ge’s mind. If what he said was true, that the brothers’ deaths were due to an order from the boss, what should he do?

No, he didn’t believe it. Knowing the intelligence about the Japanese-funded Underground developing nerve toxins was of great benefit and a defense for our military; how could the boss issue such a lethal order? He was such an upright soldier!

All of them perishing in the fire clearly meant not allowing those who knew the truth to exist; but what was the intelligence and the truth? Why couldn’t it be disclosed to the world?

If Cang Lang and the others couldn’t live, why could Cang Ying continue to live? What was the reason for this?

Because of the deaths of Cang Lang and the others, the Secret Division collapsed, and the case of this mission was closed for good, permanently sealed.

But, had Cang Lang and the others died in vain like that?

He wouldn’t accept that!

Neither would Cang Lang and the others in their underground graves!

Ning Ge was restlessly agitated, finally sitting up, clenching his fists, his lips pressed together as he looked out the window, silent.

”If it was indeed someone in the military who gave that order, my boss being involved in it... then Cang Ying, in all of this, what role did you play?” Ning Ge murmured, a heat rising in his eyes.
