If it werenât for Shen Feihu personally coming to tie him back, he wouldnât even know when he would return. However, he left Du Xiaosong behind to continue keeping watch.
Such a big piece of fat meat, he absolutely wouldnât let go. Even if he canât get any returns now, thereâs definitely limitless potential in the future.
Xu Qigang walked alongside Shen Feihu without any reaction, staring straight ahead.
"Donât waste your efforts, unless your position is higher than his, Xu Qigang wonât agree to anything." Kong Jie grinned with schadenfreude, "Xu Qigang is stubborn, he wonât listen to anything other than commands."
Meng Ping remained silent, his handsome face showing waves of fierce aura.
Shen Feihu stopped in front of the car, "You should go back and have a good rest first. I have arranged for Guo Siming to wait at the team, so I can only be at ease after a check-up."
"Yes!" Xu Qigang greeted, his gaunt appearance making Shen Feihu feel distressed.
"Hmm! Donât let me down." He patted Xu Qigangâs shoulder, looking at him deeply, "You have a long road ahead, and heavy responsibilities on your shoulders, remember that!"
He pursed his lips, facing the worried expression of the old leader, and after a while, replied: "... I will."
"I believe in you." Shen Feihu patted his shoulder again before getting into the car with his men and leaving.
"Captain, letâs go back!"
"Captain, everyone is waiting for you!" Renault blinked his dynamic eyes, looking at Xu Qigang with anticipation, "Come on, letâs go! Everyone will definitely be thrilled to see you back."
"...Hmm!"
Returning to the War Wolf Rescue Team from the professional motorbike, it was almost dawn. Having received the news in advance, Zhou Hong and Shangguan Tao led Wu Houhai, Chen Baoshan, and Li Duoxi among others, standing straight at the gate.
The comrades standing guard and patrolling at night were curious when they saw them.
"Hello, Director Shangguan."
"Captain Li, why are you up so early?"
"Yeah! Itâs not even dawn yet!"
Li Duoxi brushed off the dew on his clothes, "Iâve been standing the whole night."
"Ah? Captain Li, why are you doing this?"
"The Captain is back, weâre waiting for the Captain." Chen Baoshan explained honestly, his face filled with uncontrollable joy as he spoke. Waiting not just one night, but even three days and nights, he would be willing.
Though others remained silent, their expressions also showed happiness.
Since the incident with the Captainâs wife, the Captain hadnât returned for a long time, causing tension and concern throughout the War Wolf Rescue Team from top to bottom. More than fear itself, itâs a deep-seated fear that the Captain would really leave, abandoning the War Wolf Rescue Team altogether.
A third of the people here had followed Xu Qigang to the Southern Border Battlefield. There was also a small portion who were previously Meng Fanâs men, especially those who belonged to him, whose Captain took many brothers away, never to return again. That pain and despair of being abandoned after living and dying together had penetrated deep into their bones.
Therefore, they were more afraid that Xu Qigang would abandon them and never return again.
"Really?"
"Really? The Captainâs back?" The comrades patrolling, upon hearing that the Captain would return, couldnât help but have their eyes glisten with tears, voices choked with emotion. They dropped the battery lamps from their hands, embracing each other in excitement and shouting aloud.
"The Captainâs back, the Captainâs finally back."
"Our Captain is back!"
The comrades standing guard stood straight like unsheathed swords, unmoving at their posts, yet upon closer inspection, you could see tears streaming down their faces.
