Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1274: What Are You Afraid Of

Watching Qi Taiguo’s composed expression, Ning Le’s heart was uneasy. He didn’t move his feet and only said, "Commander Qi, even though my dad is Ning Gang, you really don’t have to do this. Since I’ve enlisted and can be sent on missions, naturally I’ve anticipated sacrifices; nobody is an exception. So, even if I sacrifice myself, my dad definitely wouldn’t blame you in the slightest, you..."

"Shut up! Why so much talk?" Qi Taiguo glared at him: "On a mission outside, orders from superiors are absolutely followed. You don’t know this military rule? I am your superior; my orders are not for rebuttal! Listen to me, move your foot, inch by inch."

Ning Le felt a tremor inside, pressed his lips tightly, stared at him for a while, and eventually backed down.

His foot felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and trembled slightly, wanting to move but feeling immobile.

"What are you afraid of?" Qi Taiguo pressed down on his shoulder, saying, "Remember what you learned in military school, what does sniper training require? Heart must be calm, eyes steady, ears alert."

Ning Le took a deep breath and let it out, slowly moving his foot that was planted on the trick mine.

Qi Taiguo followed his movements, slowly trodding over.

It was just a shift, but upon completion, both were drenched in sweat.

Ning Le relaxed his foot, contrary to expectation, there wasn’t an explosion, he instantly grew limp and sat on the ground.

"Don’t daze out, get moving." Qi Taiguo said in a deep voice.

Ning Le quickly climbed up, looked at him: "Deputy Battalion Commander Qi, you..."

"Go!" Qi Taiguo shouted: "Make them steer the other boat a hundred meters away, if something seems off, keep going further, the farther the better."

Ning Le bit his lip and said, "I’ll wait for you to come back. You must come back!"

As he walked forward, Qi Taiguo called him again: "If... tell my wife..."

Ning Le steadily gazed at him.

"Forget it, I’ll tell her myself when I return!" Qi Taiguo coldly said: "Go!"

No final words, something to say to her personally!

This is his promise to her.

Ning Le ran out, wiping a tear resolutely from the corner of his eye after exiting the hull.

Qi Taiguo quietly waited, until the sound of safe docking came from the intercom, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

A trick mine is bound to explode, fortunately, this is in the heart of the river, even if it triggers a large explosion, it wouldn’t cause significant damage, as for himself...

We’ll see if King Yama wants him dead today!

Qi Taiguo looked at the window he had widened with a chisel, silently made a prayer in his heart, and took another deep breath.

Drawing in all his strength, foot braced, Qi Taiguo ran with all his might, leaping towards that window...

From action to leap out, the entire process took just two or three seconds.

As he leaped out, the sand boat behind him detonated with a boom, the enormous fireball hit him, and he fell into the water.

Nearby people saw everything clearly, each gripping the boat pole tightly.

"Get the boat over there, floodlight fully on, divers ready, immediately dive, search for Deputy Battalion Commander Qi with all your might!" Battalion Commander Jiang shouted.

"Yes!"

The sand boat steered towards the burning wrecked ship, while simultaneously, divers jumped like dumplings into the water, swimming towards where Qi Taiguo had just sunk.

Ning Le didn’t just watch, he stripped off his military uniform and all cumbersome items, and dove in.

This was supposed to be his burden, now Deputy Battalion Commander Qi has taken his place, no matter dead or alive, he must bring him back, refusing to let him become a ghost in the water.
