Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Impressive Once Out of Military Uniform

Qi Taiguo took a shower at home, grabbed some clothes, and then headed to the hospital.

Ying Xiaoya was chatting with Cheng Su when Ning Ge called Qi Taiguo out to the stairway in the hallway.

The two sat down, and Ning Ge passed a cigarette over, lighting up for both of them. He took a drag and asked, ”It didn’t turn into a huge mess, did it?”

Qi Taiguo also took a puff and said, ”I slapped Lu Shufen across the face; she might lose a tooth. I almost killed Chiang Qing.”

Ning Ge paused his smoking and said, ”It’s a good thing she’s not dead.”

Qi Taiguo said nothing.

”You need to be mentally prepared. You’ve laid hands on them, and Jiang Conghe will certainly not let things slide. He might even use this as an excuse to take further action. Given the current situation, you and he can be considered irreconcilable,” Ning Ge said indifferently: ”You’re just a company commander, but Jiang Conghe is a commander. It would take just a word from him to take action against you.”

Qi Taiguo sneered, ”I’m not afraid of him. At worst, I’ll take off this uniform and go back home to farm. Can he cover the sky with one hand and kill me, too?”

Ning Ge looked at him in surprise, ”You...”

”That’s right, when I did it, I was prepared to take off this uniform,” Qi Taiguo admitted unabashedly.

If it weren’t for Cheng Su, he really would have wanted to kill them right there and then.

”If you’re set on this course, then you truly have nothing to fear,” Ning Ge said with a smile, ”As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes. Your fearlessness could lead you to victory. As for Commander Chiang, I wonder if he can bear the guilt of indulging his wife and daughter’s aggression.”

Qi Taiguo pursed his lips.

”However, don’t get your hopes up too high. Based on this incident alone, pulling down Jiang Conghe is unlikely. But don’t hurry, keep a close eye on him, and we might have the chance to bite off a chunk!” Ning Ge remarked.

In ancient times, if the children of high officials committed violence against commoners, even murder could be settled with money.

Even though it’s a society governed by law now, where legal authority is honored, those without power or influence can hardly withstand the pressure of powerful officials.

So, it’s highly probable that this incident will eventually be downplayed.

Having grown up among the powerful elite, Ning Ge knew to some extent the dirty tricks within these circles and was giving Qi Taiguo a heads up.

Qi Taiguo was not unaware either. An accident that led to the miscarriage of a woman during a quarrel was hardly enough to bring down a high official, so his current anger was essentially just venting.

But to have lost his child, with his wife still in the hospital, and to do nothing—it was just too suffocating.

So let him be impulsive. He just wanted to vent. If taking off the uniform was what it took, so be it—he was not afraid!

”Right now, I don’t want to think too much. If he wants to come at me, let him come. I’m not afraid. The key is that your sister-in-law recovers first,” Qi Taiguo said.

”That, of course, is the key,” Ning Ge thought for a moment, then added, ”Sister-in-law is only twenty-one years old, and you haven’t even hit thirty yet. You both are still young. There will be children in the future, rest assured. Don’t dwell on this, and don’t take it to heart. Right now, what sister-in-law needs most is your care and comfort. You can’t blame her for this.”

”What do you mean by that?” Qi Taiguo frowned, ”Of course, I wouldn’t blame her. Not to mention her, even I am caught off-guard by this. It’s true that I am heartbroken over the miscarriage, but her pain must be far greater than mine. If I blamed her, would I even be human?”

Ning Ge sighed in relief upon hearing this. He had been worried that Qi Taiguo’s machismo might lead him to blame Cheng Su now that the child was gone, which would have been truly painful.

Qi Taiguo glared at him with an odd expression. This kid... wasn’t he acting too differently from before, making so much sense in what he said!
