Chapter 1488: Chapter 1507: Rescue
But… Chen Jing couldn’t shake the feeling that sothing was off, as if she had overlooked sothing. It wasn’t just her thinking this way; many in the team felt the sa. In fact, before the Tyrant’s people arrived, there had already been minor tensions within their ranks.
At the ti, a few won who enjoyed antagonizing Ding Jiaqi were arguing with her. It seed the argunt stemd from this conflict—despite Jiaqi not saying anything, those won kept accusing her of constantly acting like a self-righteous savior.
“Heh!” Huo Beijiang sneered coldly, “She really hasn’t changed. Still hell-bent on seeking her own death!”
The remark carried not a shred of emotion, and the surrounding crowd felt their hearts sink like stones.
Lei Hao instinctively clenched his fists. “The person she’s talking about—is it Ding Jiaqi from the dical team? Our rescue target this ti?”
Chen Jing’s eyes lit up, nodding repeatedly. “Yes, that’s right—it’s her. Ding Jiaqi is the person you’re here to save. She’s been taken away. I’m begging you, please save her.” Indeed… it turned out they had co specifically to rescue Jiaqi. All of them owed their survival to her.
And today, it felt like repaynt for that debt.
Lei Hao frowned, wanting to correct her statent, but he wasn’t overly kindhearted or the type to waste words, so he decided to let it slide. The reason they had gone to such great lengths to rescue Ding Jiaqi ultimately boiled down to her being the leader of the dical aid team. That was it—the focus was on her as a representative, whose importance could be weighed and shifted.
“Boss, I’ll go find Burbank and make him release her,” Lu Jin began, ready to leave, but Huo Beijiang called him back.
“Stop.”
“Boss?” Lu Jin looked at him in confusion. When he realized Huo Beijiang was serious, he quickly hurried back.
Apparently, the boss still held a grudge over Ding Jiaqi hanging up on his wife last ti. To be fair, Jiaqi was indeed annoying—arrogant to an unbearable degree. Even with strangers, hanging up on soone’s call was disrespectful.
It wasn’t just the boss who was furious—Lu Jin also harbored his own resentnt.
If it weren’t for the need to save her, he wouldn’t bother concerning himself with this ss!
“Huo Beijiang?” Lei Hao’s worldview was on the brink of collapse. “You… You better not tell you’re planning not to rescue her.” Today, Lei Hao was truly seeing a new side of him.
“Since Kaka took her, anyone who goes won’t succeed.” Huo Beijiang’s handso features twisted into an unreadable smile as he reminded them, “Or do you think he got the title of ‘Tyrant’ for no reason? What do you people take this place for? A backyard garden by the North Sea, or my Jilan Mountain Station?”
Everyone faltered, stunned into silence for a long mont.
Chen Jing stared at Huo Beijiang in disbelief, her tone brimming with heartbreak and anger as she accused him, “You… Are you a devil? How could you just stand by and watch soone die!”
“What are you saying?” Lu Jin, ever protective, jumped to defend him. “Don’t forget who saved so many of your lives.”
“Yes, you saved our lives, but that doesn’t an you can just stand by and let Ding Jiaqi get taken away as a war prize. You’re too cruel—you’re nothing but cold-blooded executioners!”
Huo Beijiang couldn’t be bothered to listen to her complaints any longer. Addressing Lei Hao, he commanded, “Take your people and evacuate the entire dical team imdiately.”
“But…”
“Don’t overthink it,” Huo Beijiang interrupted impatiently, his sharp gaze slicing into Lei Hao like a blade. “Don’t forget your mission. Delay even a mont, and everyone will die because of it.”
