Chapter 300: Tianxin, I’m Coming for You (3)
“Li Qingcang, you are a high-ranking soldier. Don’t abuse your power.”
Li Qingcang refused to budge. He was not abusing his power. He was giving Ye Tianxin an opportunity to decide for her future.
“Qie Yiyan, I understand your desire to uncover a potential talent, but you cannot force Tianxin’s hand. Tianxin’s dream is not to become a soldier. Her dream is to be a diplomat. I will not allow anyone to impose their will on her.”
Qie Yiyan wiped off the sweat on his forehead. His face was red. “Li Qingcang, everyone has a responsibility to protect their country. When the people need it, one has to join the military to protect the country without any regard for themselves. I believe that Ye Tianxin is someone who can understand this. Even if she cannot, I can convince her to.”
Shouhu jogged up to Qie Yiyan. When he saw Li Qingcang, he felt guilty for some reason.
Did that mean that the Li family was here to demand them to let Ye Tianxin go?
“Captain Qie, the training has to end early.”
Qie Yiyan frowned and asked anxiously, “What happened?”
He had also been worried that the trainees might get injured because of the bad weather on the island.
“Yao Qinghan admitted that she was the spy.”
Qie Yiyan could not help but spew out curses when he heard that. “What’s the matter with Yao Qinghan?”
“Something might have happened.”
Shouhu was a little embarra.s.sed. Yao Qinghan was his biological younger sister, and he knew better than everyone that while she might look gutsy, she was actually afraid of snakes.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to see your younger sister Tianxin.”
Qie Yiyan placed a hand on Li Qingcang’s shoulder and led Li Qingcang to the control room.
When Yan Lili saw Li Qingcang, she saluted him. “Captain Qie, Captain Li,” she greeted them politely.
The wireless cameras all had infrared settings. One could see the thunderstorm and the lightning flas.h.i.+ng across the island through the surveillance footage.
Li Qingcang was a captain, and he knew that trainees would have to deal with all sorts of bad weather during training.
However, right now, he was not a captain.
He was just Li Qingcang.
He just wanted to protect Ye Tianxin and to lift the worries of the world off her shoulders. He wanted her to lead a healthy and happy life, and in a manner as she wished under his protection.
“Coordinates.”
Qie Yiyan frowned, and he looked at Li Qingcang, “What are you going to do?”
“I am going to get her out of there.”
Qie Yiyan’s face turned red in anger when he heard that.
“Li Qingcang, look at yourself right now. Are you even a soldier? Do you have the self-awareness of a soldier?”
“Qingcang, it is already so late. The weather on the island isn’t suitable for helicopter landing. Let’s wait until tomorrow when the weather clears.”
Xie Xinghe arrived without them noticing. He stood beside Li Qingcang and tried to persuade him to go and see Ye Tianxin tomorrow.
Li Qingcang sighed and clenched his fists tightly. His dark eyes were filled with anger. There was no electricity there, food would not be easy to find, and the weather was so terrible. He could not imagine how the delicate and weak Ye Tianxin was going to survive in that sort of environment.
She must be very scared right now.
She must have been really frightened when they captured her.
“Bro, Tianxin will definitely want me to go and save her.”
Qie Yiyan laughed. “Save her my *ss! Ye Tianxin has adapted very well to the current conditions. Go look at the surveillance footage if you don’t believe me.”
“She has not adapted to the conditions. She is forcing herself to stay calm and to adapt. That’s because she knows that crying, being weak, and denying her current situation would not solve problems. That’s why she can only grit her teeth and stay there. Bro, I want a helicopter. I want water and food. I have to go and get her tonight.”
