Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 898: Chapter 899: Officially Joining the Ning Family Camp

Old Master Ning and Ning Gang both had not expected that in just three months, someone could be transformed into this.

Dressed in a righteous, solemn military uniform, with a freshly awarded medal pinned to his chest, his eyes sharp, lips lightly pursed, standing at the gates of the Ning Family, exuding an aura of intense intimidation and awe.

It’s the unique iron-blooded presence of a soldier, the chilling severity that has endured through bloodshed and life-and-death moments, akin to a sword yearning to be drawn, sharp and cold.

Old Master Ning stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled; he had judged correctly after all.

This is a piece of steel, and given time, he will be forged into pure steel, not easily broken.

Ning Gang was also very pleased. Compared to the impulsive manner Qi Taiguo displayed three months ago, he now appears more restrained, stable, and composed.

This is an excellent sign. After all, this also counts as his subordinate, and when the subordinate succeeds, it brings glory to the superior.

Qi Taiguo nodded slightly when he saw the two, his mouth curving into a subtle smile.

”Come in.” Old Master Ning beckoned warmly and turned to enter the house.

This meeting was not held in the Ning Family living room but within Old Master Ning’s study.

As Qi Taiguo stepped into that antiquated study, he knew that this step symbolized formally entering the Ning Family’s fold, henceforth aligning with them; their fortunes will be shared.

”You did well, didn’t let us down.” Ning Gang looked steadily at Qi Taiguo for a moment and said, ”Tell us about this training session.”

”Yes!”

Qi Taiguo then chose to recount the key events during the training session, including his experiences of being ambushed, harassed, and harmed, as well as his counterattacks, describing them all regardless of their size.

”Aggrieved?” Old Master Ning asked.

Qi Taiguo stood tall, his eyes firm and replied, ”Not aggrieved. I thank him!”

If Jiang Conghe hadn’t been intent on wanting him dead, he might not have exerted all his efforts; in a way, he owed his ’motivations’ to him.

Old Master Ning and Ning Gang exchanged a glance, a satisfied smile appearing in their eyes.

”Even though you’ve passed this training and assessment, you must still guard against arrogance and rashness, especially as an officer with a military rank, who must remain composed even amidst the collapse of the highest mountain.” Ning Gang instructed.

”Yes!” Qi Taiguo stiffened.

Old Master Ning chuckled and said, ”Here, it’s no harm to be a bit complacent, as the old saying goes, ’In the spring breeze, a gallant horse gallops with pride.’ You are still young, always remember to remain cautious.”

Qi Taiguo exhaled and affirmed once more.

”Jiang Conghe failed to get rid of you this time; surely you will be even more feared by him in the future. Your path will be equally challenging, be mindful.” Ning Gang noted.

Qi Taiguo pursed his lips and suddenly raised his head, ”Does the Chief want to oust Jiang Conghe?”

Ning Gang’s expression flickered briefly, and he replied, ”There’s no talk of ousting anyone; it’s just that the military cannot allow officers who only seek personal gain.”

The implication is indeed that Jiang Conghe will be pulled down.

Thinking about Ning Ge, Qi Taiguo faintly felt a sense of mystery, wondering why the kid didn’t reveal his identity to his family.

Thinking he was worried, Ning Gang said, ”Yanjing and Qing City are distant from each other; after this incident, Jiang Conghe is busy dealing with his own troubles, even if he wants to do something against you, he can’t manage it for now, so don’t worry too much!”

He wasn’t lying; at present, Jiang Conghe was busy trying to clean up his mess!

”I know, let him come; I’m not afraid!” Qi Taiguo said confidently, curling up his lips.

Without fear, he wasn’t afraid. If this time Jiang Conghe couldn’t kill him, it was akin to releasing a tiger back into the mountain; when his wings are fully grown and his claws sharp, Jiang Conghe will be the one who should be afraid.
