As Chiang Qing and Secretary Gao were speaking, the door to the ward was knocked on. After saying "co in," several people entered in military uniforms, carrying flower baskets and fruit baskets.
Chiang Qing looked over and t eyes with one of them. Her lips curved slightly. Who else could it be but Qi Taiguo?
Qi Taiguo glanced past Chiang Qing’s face indifferently, his expression calm and emotionless.
Chiang Qing didn’t care at all. If he were ardently eager about her, that would have been strange. Now, he was just being himself.
She enjoyed seeing that he disapproved of her yet had no choice but to co.
After a round of pleasantries, Battalion Commander He inquired about Chiang Qing’s injury, expressing regret and sympathy for her pain.
"Miss Chiang, take good care of yourself, otherwise, we can’t explain it to Commander Chiang and Secretary Gao!" Battalion Commander He said with a cheerful smile.
"Thank you, Battalion Commander He, for your concern!" Chiang Qing smiled and nodded at him, then turned to Qi Taiguo, saying, "Actually, I need to thank Deputy Battalion Commander Qi. Thank you for saving ."
"It was my duty to do so. Protecting the people of our nation is also our responsibility as soldiers. Please don’t give it another thought," Qi Taiguo replied coldly.
Chiang Qing smiled again and said, "Speaking of protecting the nation’s people, I have an impertinent request."
Qi Taiguo felt sothing was off.
Chiang Qing looked at him but addressed Battalion Commander He: "After such a kidnapping, I’m really on edge. Last night, I couldn’t even sleep peacefully, always feeling like soone was out to get . So..."
She looked deeply at Qi Taiguo and said, "Can I ask Deputy Battalion Commander Qi to stand guard for one night as a bodyguard, to protect , so at least I can have a good night’s sleep?"
Everyone was stunned and looked toward Qi Taiguo.
Battalion Commander He vaguely knew about the grudge from last year between these two. It was such a fuss, who didn’t know? Just not too clear on the details. But now, it seed true? Did this young lady really have feelings for Qi Taiguo? And hasn’t given up?
Qi Taiguo’s face turned incredibly dark.
What did she an, asking him to stand guard and be a bodyguard? On what grounds!
"This..." Battalion Commander He looked at Qi Taiguo, unsure how to answer, and thought it best to let him handle it.
Qi Taiguo’s sharp eyes turned to Chiang Qing, his aura radiating an icy edge, and without hesitation, he said, "Miss Chiang, if you believe you have paranoia and need a bodyguard, I will inform the public security bureau to send a team to protect you."
"I was thinking that in such an urgent situation as the night before, Deputy Battalion Commander Qi was able to save from those separatists, so Deputy Battalion Commander Qi must be quite skilled," Chiang Qing said weakly. "Am I being too demanding?"
Indeed, it was quite demanding of ! Qi Taiguo thought angrily.
However, seeing Chiang Qing’s pale and frail appearance, everyone else felt great sympathy for the fragile beauty.
"Comrade Qi Taiguo, you see..." Battalion Commander He looked at Qi Taiguo, but upon eting his gaze, he couldn’t continue.
It was really quite unreasonable.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Qi, protecting the people is our soldiers’ duty. Since Director Chiang has requested this, endure for one night!" Dong Jun then spoke up.
Qi Taiguo was utterly furious.
Secretary Gao watched silently from the side, eyes slightly narrowed.
"I refuse because it makes no sense!" Qi Taiguo said, looking at Chiang Qing. "Besides, Miss Chiang has the enmity of killing a son with , so I cannot accept this request!"
Chiang Qing’s face instantly turned white.
