V8 wiped the corners of his mouth and chuckled. He said in a low voice, āHeās unlucky, but Iām lucky. Who cares who his father is? I didnāt know who his father was before I did it, and I couldnāt pick the person I had to catch. If he wants to blame someone, he can only blame himself for not patrolling well. His arrangements werenāt strict enough, so he gave us an opportunity.
āYou said it yourself. The military wonāt have any objections no matter what we do. His father, Staff Officer Du, canāt have any objections just because we caught his son. So what if we caught him? Iām not afraid.ā
Xia Jinyuan wasnāt afraid. He was just worried that Du Kaiwei would recognize his voice. If Du Kaiwei recognized him, he would definitely mention him to Staff Officer Du when he went back. At that time, Old Xia would have to listen to Old Duās sarcastic tone again.
As for Old Du, he had always had some personal grudges against Old Xia. Of course, it was all one-sided. Old Xia had never taken it to heart. When the time came, there would be rumors that his son had been captured by the good-for-nothing son of Old Xia. Madam Li often scolded Xia Jinyuan for being useless. Xia Jinyuan was really worried that Old Du and his wife would be hospitalized when they found out.
He was also worried that Old Xia would get a few strands of white hair from Old Duās sarcastic tone.
The relationship between the two families was very bad. In the past, they fought for their fathers. Now, they fought for their sons. Old Du always thought that his only regret was not defeating Old Xia. His eldest son was very promising, and Old Xia could only envy him. This was something Old Du was always proud of.
If he knew that his son, whom he was so proud of, had been captured by Old Xiaās son, the huge matter of his promotion would be goneā¦ Lieutenant Colonel Xia couldnāt help but sigh heavily. Forget it, he wouldnāt think about it anymore. He was just worried about Staff Officer Duās and his wifeās health.
He said to V8, āSo be it. Even if the sky falls, there are still people who can hold it up. Thereās no need to worry, let alone be afraid. If I canāt hold on, thereās still the major general. If the major general canāt hold on, thereās still the commander-in-chief..
āAs long as the two military districts donāt know who we are, Iām not afraid! You even got Azure Bird and the rest to capture the brigade commander alive. A brigade commander is much more important than a regimental commander. If theyāre not afraid, why should we be afraid?ā V8 raised his chin in disdain, indicating that he wasnāt afraid.
However, after he finished speaking, he immediately added timidly, āCaptain, when you go back, you must let the higher-ups continue to hide our identities. Thereās no need to ask for any merits for me. The people who do big things donāt care about these small merits. We have to hide our merits and reputation! We want wealth but not lust. We should be humble, and we canāt bow down to power!ā
āHow silly!ā Xia Jinyuan, who didnāt know whether to laugh or cry, kicked his comrade. āSo be it. Itās not a big deal. After weāre done with this place and do two more big things tonight, we can leave!ā
āUnderstood. I promise to complete the mission.ā V8 lowered his head with a smile. He glanced at the unlucky fellow from the corner of his eye. It was his misfortune to have met him.
V8 wasnāt stupid. After thinking about it for a while, he understood why the regimental commander of the infantry regiment would participate in this exercise. If he destroyed the other partyās originally stable win, the other party would definitely be angry. V8 was not afraid of getting his shoes wet. He was just worried that his captain would be in a difficult position. Hearing Xia Jinyuan say that he was fine, he was definitely fine.
V8 was more or less relieved.
Xia Jinyuan looked at Du Kaiwei. This fellow was really unlucky.. He actually came to surround and destroy the third party!
