Once the convoy passed, an inconspicuous pickup truck slowly followed behind. Because it hadn’t undergone special modifications, driving too fast on this icy road would only result in a rollover.
There were only two people in the car. Xu Qigang was driving, fully focused, with tightly pressed lips and eyes sharp as a hawk’s.
Renault sat in the passenger seat, gripping the overhead handle tightly, constantly observing the surroundings.
Their clothes were somewhat tattered, clearly showing they had just been through a fierce battle.
"Captain." Renault hesitated, worried that speaking might distract Xu Qigang from driving, displaying a conflicted expression.
"Speak if you have something to say."
"Oh!" Renault was overjoyed at the permission. "Should we really keep following Little Hooligan like this?" Right now, he was extremely dissatisfied with Little Hooligan. That stabbing might not have been fatal to the Captain, but it was incredibly dangerous. If it hadn’t been for timely rescue, who would make up for the loss of the Captain?
"I think we should go back! Your wife must be waiting for you to return! Following all the way to S Country, she’ll definitely be worried sick."
Renault’s words brought a fleeting expression to Xu Qigang’s cold face. After a moment’s hesitation, he slowly said, "We can’t abandon our teammates."
"But Little Hooligan has changed. He’s a bad person now."
"That wasn’t his true intention."
"How was it not?" Renault’s eyes reddened as he spoke. "Just now, he was sent to die by Keperta, and we helped him plete the mission and successfully escape. Yet what did he do? He left us behind to cover the guns."
If not for their quick reaction, they might have been shot to death just now.
"I disagree with you continuing." Renault said stubbornly, "By continuing this way, you’d be leading a violation of regulations." Renault had been with him since the Southern Border Battlefield, since he was still young. Throughout the years, this was his first time overtly disagreeing with Xu Qigang’s opinion.
It was almost unprecedented.
As the pursuit deepened, his worries weighed heavier on his mind. He didn’t know why; he felt it was too risky, putting their heads at risk for someone who had harmed the Captain.
Moreover, being the Captain, he shouldn’t be on the front lines.
"Enough," Xu Qigang interrupted coldly, "I can’t not go. I don’t want the Meng Fan incident to happen again." He was calculating internally. The recent encounter with Qin Yue gave him a pletely different feeling than when Qin Yue had intended to kill him.
He couldn’t be sure whether Qin Yue had regained memory, but he knew Qin Yue was different now.
He was Little Hooligan, naturally rebellious and wild. Over the years, the Qin Family and the rescue team had polished him well, almost hiding his inner nature.
He was ruthless and had an unpredictable style.
Once freed from the constraints of the rescue team, no one knew what he might do.
*****
Xu Qigang indeed knew Qin Yue the best in this world. At this moment, he was just getting off the roof of the car, contemplating how to eliminate everyone. Don’t think he wasn’t aware that while he appeared to be Keperta’s future brother-in-law, he was actually a target of suspicion for everyone.
During this period, he had investigated a lot. Although he hadn’t regained his memory, he no longer believed Cecil’s narrative at all.
