Sheng Ning added, "Oh right, Sister Guo, could you please disinfect the room? Weâve all got bacteria on us, not suitable for such a high-end place."
Sister Guo covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Wife, I was wrong."
"And what were you wrong about?"
Xu Qigang confidently thought for a moment, then shook his head firmly. "I was wrong about nothing." Heâs wholeheartedly devoted to his little wife, wouldnât even glance at other women; heâs the best man in the rescue world.
"Then think it over." Sheng Ning held back a smile as she left with her people, leaving Xu Qigang sitting alone on the hospital bed, his face full of helplessness.
Chen Yingjie saw through the window that Sheng Ning was passing by with her team and hobbled over to visit. Upon entering, he saw the Captain sitting alone on the bed as if abandoned.
Was he seeing things? Chen Yingjie rubbed his eyes. Indeed, it was still their incredibly strong Captain.
"What are you looking at? Get in here." Xu Qigangâs voice was eight degrees colder.
Chen Yingjie dragged his uncooperative body, quickly scurrying to sit down by the bed, "Captain, canât you get out of bed yet?"
This question reminded him, so Xu Qigang moved slightly to the sides and nodded. "Yes, I can."
"Then why arenât you getting up? Lying in bed all day is suffocating."
"Your sister-in-law wonât let me."
"Huh? Just âcause she wonât let you, you stay in bed?"
"Why so much nonsense?" Xu Qigangâs cold and handsome face scared Chen Yingjie into quickly changing the topic.
"Captain, Nurse Guo caught me smoking just now, remember to cover for me later."
"No smoking from now on." Xu Qigang commanded domineeringly.
"Huh? Oh! Alright." Was today the wrong time to come? How unlucky.
Xu Qigang casually tossed an apple to him, his handsome brows showing a hint of worry. "Ying Jie, do you remember the unspoken rule among the hired soldiers at the Southern Border?"
"What rule?" Chen Yingjieâs hand holding the apple paused for a moment, his smile fading as he recalled carefully. "Itâs that for the next Captain to secure his position, he has to avenge the previous Captain?"
"Yes, I suspect the hired soldiersâ people have already arrived, but as to who it is, I donât know yet."
"Captain, why didnât you mention such a big matter earlier? I must report this to the President." Chen Yingjie stood up to leave, but Xu Qigang quickly called him back.
"Calm down, what did I teach you? Every time something happens, you canât sit still."
"I can stay calm for other things, but when it concerns your safety, how can I be calm? The enemyâs at our door, and youâre just sitting here doing nothing."
"Iâve called Shangguan Tao." As soon as Xu Qigangâs words fell, Shangguan Tao was already standing at the door in a neatly pressed outfit.
He teased with a smile, "Chen Yingjie, look at you, no wonder everyone in the team wants to beat you up." Even if youâre close to the Captain, you canât be so high profile, right?
Isnât this just making people jealous?
"Get lost!" Chen Yingjie rolled his eyes, "Werenât you off studying? Whatâs up? Did you get sent back because youâre doing poorly?"
"..." Canât this guy stop being so snarky? Oh well, heâs a patient and has indeed done a great job, canât compare so wonât argue with him. Shangguan Tao took out a stack of documents, unfolding them steadily with both hands; the documents were filled with various lines and countless Morse codes.
"Captain, as soon as I got your call, I started the investigation. Indeed, some strangers have shown up in the city during this period. Oh, and guess whoâs taken over the position after Scarface died?"
Xu Qigangâs eyes were deep, frowning thoughtfully.
