Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Slight Expression of Discontent
Hearing that Qi Taiguo had a task to carry out, Cheng Su choked on her soup.
Swallowing the soup in her throat, she picked up a piece of paper from the table to wipe her mouth and asked, "A task at such a critical ti? How long will it be, with the New Year coming in just a couple of months?"
It was already deep into November, and the weather was so cold. To have to undertake a task at this ti of year was simply suffering!
Qi Taiguo, caught between laughter and tears, said, "Can we choose the ti for a task? It’s only when the mission cos that we go!"
Cheng Su, a bit sheepish, puckered her lips and said sowhat discontentedly, "But it’s only been two or three months since your last mission! I don’t see the others going as often as you do, so why does it seem like it’s always you?"
This was also sothing that puzzled Cheng Su. She had been here for over half a year, yet Qi Taiguo had already been sent out on three tasks, two of which had resulted in injuries.
And now another task was being assigned, as if he were the only one in the unit.
Qi Taiguo said, "It’s not every ti, so other tasks are carried out by other people too, I just haven’t ntioned them to you. As a soldier, you always have to face real combat to climb higher. Missions are for everyone, not just . And this ti, I was handpicked by the higher-ups; there’s simply no choice."
"What’s the mission? To be handpicked!" Cheng Su grew curious.
"State secret, I can’t say too much," Qi Taiguo said with a nonchalant air. "This ti it’s to E County. There’s a gang of car bandits and road tyrants, extrely rampant and brutal, murdering and robbing without restraint. With the end of the year approaching, they’re even more brazen. If we don’t eradicate them completely, who knows how many families they’ll destroy, leaving them in shambles!"
He thought back to the horrifying pictures he saw during the day and felt a suffocating discomfort in his heart.
Those who drive large vehicles for long journeys are usually n, often the pillars of their families. If they were to be killed, wouldn’t their families collapse as their main support fell away?
Not to ntion the young n who travel with the large vehicles, so of them as young as Jianguo, who were also murdered. How pitiful!
Cheng Su’s brow furrowed as she said, "Car bandits and road tyrants!"
She was not unfamiliar with such highway robbers; from the 1980s to the 1990s, that was the pri ti for the growth of the underworld, causing widespread fear and terror.
But, wasn’t this a matter for the Public Security Bureau?
With such thoughts in mind, she voiced her question.
"Since ancient tis, soldiers are just like one family. Many colleagues in the Public Security Bureau co from the military. It’s no surprise when fighting cri that the Public Security Bureau asks for reinforcents from the higher-ups if they face a tough challenge," Qi Taiguo explained.
Cheng Su uttered an acknowledgnt: "So when can you return? I heard those people are ruthless. Could there be a serious danger? Don’t bring back another injury, okay?"
"I know, can’t I, a dignified soldier, handle so bandits?" Qi Taiguo said, feigning relaxation.
Cheng Su gave him a look, her worries still lingering. Soldiers are human, but what about bandits, people who regard life so cheaply they can kill without blinking an eye; do they even know fear?
"Who else is going?" Cheng Su asked further.
"...Right, Chen Shouwang is also going this ti," Qi Taiguo said.
"Him?"
"Yes, he fought hard to be part of it," Qi Taiguo nodded and after a mont added, "He’s been a platoon leader for quite so ti, so having such aspirations isn’t surprising."
"It’s indeed the age to seek achievents. Hualing should feel at ease now," Cheng Su sighed.
