Chapter 728: Chapter 759 Mutual Cooperation

“This time, when I was on a mission in Country S, I encountered two assassination attempts. If I hadn’t been prepared in advance, the result could have been the same as Meng Fan’s,” he said. He’d had his suspicions about Meng Fan’s death before, but he dared not think too deeply about it. Over time, the seeds of doubt had sprouted in his heart. It wasn’t until he saw the image of Shen Yu and Bai Oulan together at the Research Institute that Xu Qigang truly identified the problem.

Therefore, he had made arrangements before departing for the mission in Country S. Of the ten people he took with him, three were sacrificed, though in reality only one had been a victim of foul play and had died a hero. The other two had been secretly taken to the Southern District by Qin Yue before they split up.

After the New Year, he intended to go to the Southern District in person, confident that the problems could not escape detection.

His words were undoubtedly a bombshell, leaving Su Hai and Meng Ping dizzy and disoriented,

“You mean… you mean?” Meng Ping suddenly stood up, fumbling to light a cigarette but had trouble doing so due to his trembling hands.

“Qin Yue and I are investigating, we’ll wait for the investigation results,” Xu Qigang replied.

“What exactly is it? What are the results? Tell me, tell me now!” Meng Ping grabbed Xu Qigang by the collar, his expression crazed as he demanded, “Is there a problem, I knew there was a problem. Surely someone deliberately framed him, my brother was so capable, so exceptional, how could he have died so easily?”

“Meng Ping, calm down,” Su Hai pressed him back into his chair, “Don’t be rash!”

“Xu Qigang, it’s a waste of my brother’s considered you a brother-in-arms.”

Xu Qigang looked at him coldly, his eyes slightly disdainful, “What do you know? It’s better you keep out of the rescue team’s business.” If Xiao Ning and Chen Huaying hadn’t been irresponsible and told Meng Ping, he would never have mentioned it to him.

“You think this is good? You won’t live past the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, just wait!” It was rare to see Xu Qigang lose his temper. In the rescue team, he was always icy, stern, and restrained. It was unusual to see him as emotionally raw as he was today.

Meng Fan was his friend, his brother. His affection for Meng Fan was not one bit less than Meng Ping; that was precisely why he couldn’t get Meng Ping involved any further. Otherwise, how could he face his brother in the future?

Su Hai’s face went pale, and in a fit of urgency, he blurted out Xu Qigang’s code name, “Living Yama, are you serious?”

“Su Hai, don’t believe his words. My life, Meng Ping’s life, isn’t so easily taken,” Meng Ping said with disdain.

“Keep quiet,” Su Hai glared at him, “Xu Qigang never speaks without certainty, and him not telling you is for your own good. Besides, with your past behavior, fooling around with respectable women, what else can you do? No one would tell you anything.”

That was clear contempt!

Meng Ping lit a cigarette and took deep drags, “Fine! In any case, the Meng Family won’t let this rest, do what you will!” His words implied that even if he wasn’t asked to join, he would act on his own. Moreover, he had already discussed it with his father before coming, and it was quite a feat for Shen Yu to infuriate his old man to such an extent.

Xu Qigang assessed both of them before finally saying, “I don’t care about the issues you’re now bursting out with, do as you please. As for the death of Meng Fan, leave the investigation to me; I will inform you as soon as I have the results.”

“Good! It’s a promise!”
