Shan Mingxu fell to his knees in despair, pounding the grass furiously!
Yin Shixiu’s deep-set eyes remained calm, his gaze fixed on the fiercely burning fire...
No one knew what he was thinking. Shan Mingxu cried like a child, bewildering Fang Zi when he arrived!
Is this the usually proud and unyielding captain?
Is this the captain who, during special training with new recruits, repeatedly called them "wimps," "cowards," and said, "If you want to cry, cry at ho; if you want to cry, cry into your pillow?"
Is this the captain who, despite being hit with several bullets, could still grit his teeth and snort, "I won’t die?"
Fang Zi ca over, and the other five mbers of Shan Mingxu’s squad also gathered around...
"What happened..."
Soone asked in confusion.
After all, weren’t those two kids rescued?
Fang Zi saw Yin Shixiu standing aside.
Fang Zi didn’t know if it was his illusion or due to the lighting at that mont...
Yin Shixiu appeared particularly aged and pitiful.
His deanor at that mont seed as if he had suddenly grown old.
"Where is Mrs. Yin? Didn’t... she co out..."
Fang Zi seed to realize sothing, tentatively murmuring...
And this murmur indeed revealed the reason for Shan Mingxu’s anguished cries.
Everyone instinctively fell silent at that mont...
Ti seed to stop for Yin Shixiu, and after an unknown period, Yin Shixiu spoke to Fang Zi,
"Take Mingxu to the ambulance; he took a bullet to the shoulder."
"Oh, oh!"
Fang Zi swallowed and quickly urged the other teammates to help Shan Mingxu up.
"Uncle... sorry... sorry... ah woo..."
Shan Mingxu was pulled up, his face covered in tears and snot.
Yin Shixiu looked at Mingxu’s guilt and felt a deep sense of emotion.
He was indeed much closer to Mingxu and Ming Lang compared to other younger ones; since childhood, these kids liked to follow him around. Whenever he returned to China, they had countless things they wanted to talk to him about.
Yin Shixiu looked at Shan Mingxu,
"Don’t cry, villains will laugh."
"..."
"We’ve already lost too much; let’s not lose your hand as well. Go receive treatnt, and I’ll handle the rest."
The calr Yin Shixiu was, the more useless Shan Mingxu felt!
He had promised to protect well, he had promised...
With all the skills learned in the military, in the end, he couldn’t protect what he wanted most to protect.
Shan Mingxu cried bitterly, almost unable to catch his breath. In front of Yin Shixiu, he was just a child...
He seed to want to release the pain Yin Shixiu couldn’t express, his shoulder shaking uncontrollably, only able to helplessly shout,
"Uncle, I’m sorry... sorry..."
In the end, several people dragged the heartbroken Shan Mingxu away.
Wu Ye still stood there, and Yin Shixiu walked up to him,
"It’s Yin Shiqing, right?"
"What?"
Wu Ye asked calmly.
Yin Shixiu slightly curled his lips, but was not infuriated by Wu Ye’s act of feigning ignorance. He slightly raised his eyes,
"How could I not have thought... Yin Shiqing would use this opportunity to eliminate the problem..."
"Yin Shixiu, aren’t these words a bit too conspiratorial?"
"We’ll soon know if it’s a conspiracy."
"If Yin Shiqing really wanted their lives... do you think your life is more important compared to theirs?"
"..."
"If I wanted to flatter Yin Shiqing, I wouldn’t have stopped you and directly let you rush into the fire, making you die, which would be more significant than having them die, right?"
Wu Ye took a deep breath,
"I am close to Yin Shiqing, everyone knows, but you shouldn’t. How can you view things only from the surface?"
"My father was promoted by the old commander, I at least call the old commander grandfather, his sons, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren..."
"Yin Shixiu, how monstrous would I have to be to use this opportunity to help Yin Shiqing kick your family when they’re down?"
"I agreed to the old commander to rescue Su Xiaong and your kids to participate in this operation, and indeed, when the stairs completely broke down, I had no choice but not rescue Su Xiaong."
Yin Shixiu squinted his eyes,
"The hijackers poured gasoline inside the cathedral. Under such circumstances, with your aggressive assault approach, I didn’t see the slightest priority for rescuing hostages!"
Talking about this, Wu Ye frowned slightly.
Indeed, when the action was taken, it went wrong, as the attack timing differed from what was previously set, and not only that.
If gasoline was poured inside the cathedral, Shan Mingxu should not have failed to relay the information...
The one who replaced Shan Mingxu’s squad communicator at that ti was—
"Su Hang."
Wu Ye uttered a na.
"It’s him..."
Just as they ntioned Su Hang, Wu Ye saw Su Hang over there.
Su Hang and Wu Ye were of the sa level, each commanding a squad in this rescue mission, but Su Hang was more senior than Wu Ye, and the overall commander of the rescue operation was Su Hang.
Su Hang personally took over the communication and direction before the operation, dismissing Fang Zi.
Wu Ye and Su Hang were both trusted subordinates of the current military commission commander and naturally had so relation with the Yin Family.
Seeing Su Hang, Yin Shixiu realized Wu Ye was telling the truth.
"Wu Ye, the team has gathered, why are you still here? Ah... it’s Shixiu’s little brother."
Su Hang was two years older than Yin Shixiu, calling him little brother was appropriate.
Wu Ye was particularly calm and rational; otherwise, he wouldn’t have climbed to this position at such a young age. However, being too calm and rational often made him appear unfeeling.
Su Hang, on the other hand, seed more tactful in his dealings.
Yin Shixiu had just ntioned Yin Shiqing, along with the issues in the rescue operation, and now seeing Su Hang...
He naturally understood what was happening.
If it were Yin Shiqing, for the sake of achieving a goal, he wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice more people.
Wu Ye appeared calm on the surface with no visible expression, but seeing the tragic scene before him, how couldn’t his heart feel desolate?
The military uniform he wore, did it represent the justice he was supposed to fight for...
Looking at Su Hang approaching with ease, Wu Ye couldn’t help but ponder.
"So it’s you..."
Yin Shixiu ca up without greeting and said this aningfully.
These simple four words were indeed overly simplistic.
Su Hang raised his eyebrows,
"What do you an?"
Yin Shixiu stepped closer to Su Hang, looked at him, and calmly said three words,
"Nothing."
"..."
Having said that, Yin Shixiu walked past Su Hang and Wu Ye.
Su Hang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Yin Shixiu’s back...
Wu Ye glanced at Su Hang, went to stand by his side, and only asked,
"Was it you who removed Fang Zi from the communication position?"
"What?"
Wu Ye asked.
"Shan Mingxu never ntioned any changes in the operation, the ssage for an early attack."
With these words, Wu Ye looked at Su Hang with cold eyes.
"The British military attacked early."
"Did they?"
"What are you doing? Suspicious I’m sabotaging? So many lives, including our Chinese compatriots! Putting that aside, didn’t I lead the team here to rescue—"
"International incidents aren’t so easily settled?"
"What do you an?"
"I also hope you didn’t do anything unworthy of your military uniform."
Wu Ye took a step forward.
He knew that Yin Shixiu already had a plan for what to do next, and he didn’t need to intervene.
Yin Shiqing was indeed a ruthless character, but compared to the well-known ruthlessness, the unknown ruthlessness was far scarier.
Su Hang thought that flattering Yin Shiqing was an opportunity to climb higher but didn’t realize...
Opportunities often co with risks, and the better they look, the greater the risks.
————
Yin Shixiu clenched his fists, striving to suppress his murderous impulses.
Now was not the ti to settle accounts with Yin Shiqing... there were still people waiting for him.
Firefighters were fighting against ti to extinguish the blaze, and he stood by.
If alive, he would see; if dead, he would see the body.
