Chapter 129: Chapter 130: Rescuing The Hostage
The black bulletproof vest was stained with some dust, but Chang Ning couldn’t be bothered to wipe it off. Geng Jihui was urging him through the earpiece; he had to rendezvous with the members of B Group.
He couldn’t keep everyone waiting for him, Chang Ning knew his face wasn’t that big.
Who knew if the bandit would tear up the hostage out of impatience and then go down with the police in mutual destruction.
The world is vast with all sorts of wonders; there might just be such a fool.
If the bandit wasn’t a fool, why would he come to commit the crime.
It was the 21st century already, and Chang Ning really couldn’t figure out why so many people still worshipped the foreign and fawned over foreigners.
“Sha Po Lang, what have you been doing? How did you end up like this?”
Qiang Zi saw the dust on Chang Ning’s body, so he became full of curiosity about where Chang Ning had been.
Actually, this bit of dust explained nothing; investigating the surrounding environment inevitably involved crawling and rolling around, but everything is relative.
Compared to the clean bodies of the others in B Group, the patches of white dust on Chang Ning, left and right, stood out much more glaringly.
“Something strange happened today. Hungry Wolf, even if you didn’t ask, I was planning to tell everyone about my earlier whereabouts.
It went like this…”
Chang Ning couldn’t be bothered to deal with the dust on his body and poured out everything he encountered inside the building to his comrades.
He was very certain there were suspicious personnel in the corridor; it was just that after he went up, the person had left.
“This…”
After hearing Chang Ning’s report, Geng Jihui didn’t know how to advise his comrade.
According to Chang Ning’s description, it seemed like excessive nervousness had made him overly sensitive to changes in the surroundings.
The problem was that the one saying this was Chang Ning, a soldier who had already killed and seen blood. Him being nervous? What a joke!
Geng Jihui carefully observed Chang Ning’s facial expressions and didn’t see any sign of nervousness in him.
He had dabbled in psychology during university and could infer psychological activity from a person’s micro-expressions.
The problem was that Chang Ning’s face showed no expression at all, and from his eyes, it was clear Chang Ning was telling the truth.
‘Indeed, how could Chang Ning be nervous. Among those present, besides Chang Ning himself who has seen blood, everyone in B Group are greenhorns.
We’re not nervous, so there’s no way Chang Ning would be nervous about this small scene.’
After figuring it out, Geng Jihui chose to believe Chang Ning’s words, even though they sounded like something a paranoid persecution complex patient would say.
The problem was, what if it was real?
Chilling to think about it carefully!
If it was real, it meant all their actions were being monitored.
“Sha Po Lang, don’t joke around. Hurry up and tell everyone the truth. Even if you say you accidentally tripped on the way back, it’s more credible than what you just said.
Don’t worry, we won’t laugh at you, unless we can’t hold it in.”
Ostrich clearly didn’t believe Chang Ning’s words because they were too outlandish.
The seniors’ graves have grass three feet tall, making the newcomers hesitate to follow.
If they want to try, they need to weigh whether their skull is harder or the bullet is harder!
“Big-tailed Wolf, do I look like the type to joke around regardless of the occasion?”
As he spoke, Chang Ning’s face was serious; this time he meant it.
Seeing that Chang Ning didn’t seem to be joking, the atmosphere gradually grew heavy, and everyone finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
“Sha Po Lang wouldn’t joke around randomly, especially in a situation like this.”
Xiao Zhuang spoke up. As one of the two team members who had spent the most time with Chang Ning in the squad, he had the confidence to speak for him.
Lao Pao next to him nodded in agreement with Xiao Zhuang’s words. Although Chang Ning was usually giggling and unserious, almost surpassing Ostrich, he never dropped the ball on serious matters.
“Hiss!”
The medic drew in a sharp breath and said worriedly, “Shouldn’t we report this to Wild Wolf and the others?”
If it was really as Chang Ning said, then from this moment on, the matter was beyond what they could solve.
They originally thought this was just a simple hostage rescue mission.
As long as Chang Ning and B Group followed their previous training, found a suitable opportunity to take out the bandit and ensure the hostage’s safety, they could return to the barracks. Who knew things would become so complicated.
It seemed they had been drawn into a tremendous vortex.
“No choice, we have to.” Geng Jihui said.
Compared to the captain of the Lone Wolf Commando Unit ten years later, the current Geng Jihui was still very green.
Moreover, they had very little intelligence; aside from what they learned from Chang Ning, B Group didn’t even know who the opponents were.
The feeling of uncertainty was terrible, and Geng Jihui’s face also turned grim.
“Forest Wolf, have you run into any problems?”
Seeing Geng Jihui’s bad expression, Gao Zhong Dui immediately thought B Group had hit a snag in planning the hostage rescue.
Gao Zhong Dui was very unhappy inside; B Group was what they had painstakingly trained, yet on their first actual combat mission, they handed in such a performance.
If it weren’t for the police comrades still there, B Group and Chang Ning should be running ten kilometers right now.
‘Maybe I’m being too hasty.’
Thinking of his own first time on the battlefield, the anger in Gao Zhong Dui’s heart subsided by more than half.
“Wild Wolf, Sha Po Lang’s side has a new discovery, and we’re not sure what to do.”
“Oh? Tell me.”
As soon as it involved Chang Ning, Gao Zhong Dui immediately perked up.
Ever since he met Chang Ning, in his impression, Chang Ning had never been quiet. Once anything involved Chang Ning, it became uncontrollable.
Gao Zhong Dui thought of the last red vs. blue confrontation and the anti-poaching operation. Especially the red vs. blue confrontation, where Chang Ning had essentially risen to prominence over his “corpse.”
“Chang Ning said…”
As a top graduate of the Army Command College, Geng Jihui’s business capability was top-notch. He recounted Chang Ning’s original words verbatim to Gao Zhong Dui.
“Alright, got it.”
Afterward, Gao Zhong Dui’s expression grew increasingly grave. He called over the police’s on-site commander and headed with Geng Jihui toward B Group.
Gao Zhong Dui wasn’t entirely sure who the opponents were yet; there were only a few forces that had recently risen to prominence internationally.
The old-timers, more or less, had suffered losses and generally wouldn’t proactively provoke.
