Chapter 589: The Resentful Man
Leng Jinpeng felt sorry for Qu Mingyi’s ruined vacation.
Even though he did not laugh at him, Qu Mingyi was still very depressed about that.
“Of course! It’s all your fault! Look at you guys… You didn’t even tell me when such a major thing happened.
“I need to know so that I could apply to go to Sab before the operation. If I don’t apply before that, not only will I be able to stay in the country and help you guys mediate this, but most importantly, I could go to Sab after everything was over. This vacation of mine wouldn’t have gotten canceled then…”
In short, Qu Mingyi felt relieved when he saw that Chi Yang was fine. At the same time, he started complaining about his ruined plan of seeing his wife and son. He said a lot of things because he felt that Chi Yang and Leng Jinpeng had him trolled—that their prank lost him his vacation.
After all, Leng Jinpeng and Chi Yang had definitely received news of this operation a while ago. After all, they required time to deploy people when their enemy had such large numbers.
Chi Yang, “…”
He glanced at Leng Jinpeng. It was obvious that he meant to say that he was just a captain. This matter was completely under the commander-in-chief’s responsibility. It had nothing to do with him.
Leng Jinpeng coughed out two awkward laughs and said insincerely, “At that time, you were already in the process of leaving the country. I thought that since you were about to leave, I shouldn’t tell you about this, lest you keep thinking about this and decide not to go abroad.”
“Not going overseas is still better than rus.h.i.+ng back because I’m worried about you guys!” Qu Mingyi could not take it anymore. He disregarded Leng Jinpeng’s ident.i.ty as the commander-in-chief and yelled at this man.
“Then, you could’ve called from Sab to ask for an update. Why did you come back personally?”
“Do you really think I’ll believe what you said on the phone? How can I relax if I don’t come back to take a look?”
Leng Jinpeng rubbed his nose and consoled Qu Mingyi, “Isn’t it good that you don’t know about this? Look at those who know. Which one of them didn’t get forced an investigation?”
Qu Mingyi did not buy it at all. “I’d rather be investigated.”
Leng Jinpeng thought, ‘Fine. A middle-aged man whose desires are not met is indeed scary.’ He would just stop arguing with him, would that be enough?
Seeing that Leng Jinpeng had stopped talking, Qu Mingyi finally calmed down and asked Chi Yang,
“How did you escape with your team this time? I heard that the opposition in Mustapha and Wute Organization attacked our people at the same time. While dealing with so many enemies, how did you escape death yourself and simultaneously allow our people to escape unscathed?”
“Luck,” Chi Yang answered Qu Mingyi’s question concisely.
Seeing that Chi Yang did not want to answer in detail, Qu Mingyi did not ask further. After all, everyone had their own means of survival and would not reveal this easily. Recalling the shocking power that Chi Yang displayed when they were attacked by four suicidal trucks, Qu Mingyi understood.
“Since the initial information we received was fake and Chi Yang had fallen for it, how did we accurately intercept that batch of firearms? Or could it be that we were playing hard-to-get from the start?” Qu Mingyi was very curious. As one of the important leaders, he had every right to know about the miraculous rumors that had spread throughout Camino’s military base.
Leng Jinpeng said, “What do you mean by playing hard-to-get? I also suddenly received an anonymous video in an email. When I played the video, it turned out to be the goods we were looking for. That’s why I immediately sent people from the military base to stop the goods from leaving the port.”
