"Hello, Leader."
"Comrade Xu Qigang." The voice of the second leader came through the phone, sounding energetic and powerful.
"Present!"
"Is everything ready?"
"Everything is ready, please rest assured, Leader." Xu Qigang answered loudly.
"Set off punctually at six tomorrow morning! Remember, donât let the country down."
"Rest assured, Leader. We guarantee the completion of this mission."
The second leader laughed heartily over the phone, appearing very pleased, "I have great confidence in you, I know you wonât disappoint me."
"Thank you for your trust."
"Let me ask you, how are you feeling now?" The second leader added a hint of teasing to his voice.
Xu Qigang coughed awkwardly, "Leader, Iâm very excited."
"Hahahaha... Youâre about to see your wife and child, of course, youâre excited! Thatâs wonderful! Iâm really happy for you."
"... Leader, thank you, really thank you. When Sheng Ning returns, Iâll bring her over to visit you." Without the unwavering support of the second leader, he wouldnât be able to get to M country so quickly.
"I heard Comrade Sheng Ning is a great cook, many praise her, Iâve been drooling for ages."
"Leader, you definitely wonât have to wait long."
"Good!" The second leader hung up, the smile still lingering on his face, while the Secretary General entered and asked with a smile, "Whatâs up, Leader? Youâre in such a good mood today?"
"I was just thinking, has Xu Qigang this hotheaded kid also started learning how to flatter?"
"Leader, President Xu doesnât need to flatter anyone; with nothing, youâve jumped in to help him."
"So, youâre saying Iâm setting myself up?" The second leader intentionally kept a stern face.
"Thatâs right!" The Secretary General knew he was joking and vividly recounted the rumors. "People say Xu Qigang is your illegitimate son, back then your wife was unwilling, so you sent him to the countryside. Otherwise, why would you be so biased?"
"Nonsense, if I had an illegitimate son, wouldnât your wife be furious with me?"
"Then why?"
"Because my heart is inclined towards him! Hahahaha..."
"Hahaha... Old Leader, youâre really an old rascal."
The selection for the Special Rescue Team went on from the morning through deep into the night, and from nighttime until dawn. Through rigorous assessments, twenty of the most outstanding comrades were selected and awarded honors.
In front of the runway of the dedicated airport, twenty rescue elites greeted the national flag, solemn and dignified, looking heroic and radiant.
Xu Qigang quickly approached, dressed in the latest blue rescue uniform.
"Greet!"
Xu Qigang returned the greeting with a standard action, speaking in a clear voice, "Was the mission just explained to you all?"
"Yes!"
"What did it explain?"
"Go to M country and rescue the wife." Their voices were loud and powerful, full of enthusiasm and eagerness, with everyone eager to rush to M country right away.
Xu Qigangâs handsome face immediately darkened.
"What are you saying? What are you saying?" Chen Yingjie anxiously wanted to hit someone; these brats didnât know what to say behind the scenes? They were bold enough to say it in front of the President.
"President, donât worry, we all know this time weâll definitely not disgrace the War Wolf Rescue Teamâs reputation."
"Exactly, weâve been holding back for so long, if I donât vent this time, Iâll swim back from the Pacific Ocean."
"Hahaha..."
Chen Yingjie was nearly scared to death, so anxious that he reverted to earlier titles, "Captain, this wasnât my idea, it really wasnât my idea."
