Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 887: Chapter 888: Final Assessment Mission

"I never thought that just a few days before our training ends, we’d get such a task. Could this be the final assessment task?" Gao Linbing whispered to Qi Taiguo.

Qi Taiguo shushed him, looking up at the two instructors speaking above. Gao Linbing also fell silent, concentrating on listening.

"...This group of drug-trafficking Yue People will smuggle in from Bagui, with the quantity of drugs conservatively estimated to be more than thirty to fifty kilograms. Moreover, they have taken our country’s citizens as hostages. So this mission is not only to rescue the hostages but also to strike and capture these Yue People, preventing them from successfully making their contact. Otherwise, the consequences of dozens of kilograms of drugs flowing into our country would be unimaginable."

The Yue People were whom Qi Taiguo loathed the most, and he was probably the only one among so many present who had dealt with them before, because during the Taiguo War, he had participated in battles and lost his best friend Zheng Guixiang at that time.

Now, these people have smuggled across the border again, bringing with them so many drugs. This is a challenge to their national honor, a challenge to the dignity of their soldiers.

"According to information from our sources, it can now be confirmed that the liaison with this group of Yue People is the hall master Green Tiger of the Azure Dragon Group’s Green Eagle Hall." Wang Hua coldly swept his eyes over those present: "With ten days remaining in the training, this real-life combat mission is the final assessment for you remaining officers, and it’s also a life-and-death test."

Not a sound was heard.

No objections, and no one moved.

The nearly hundred-day training was almost three months long. Over the past days, the faces of those who came changed from many to few. Those eliminated left for various reasons, as even Qiu Dazhi, who came from Qing City like Qi Taiguo, was eliminated. Only Gao Linbing and Qi Taiguo remained.

Now, only fifteen remained, undoubtedly the elite among elites. If this mission is completed successfully, they survive the life-and-death test, and the future commendations and honors will surely not be low.

So, this is a chance, but it could also be a dead end.

Because the life-and-death test is real combat, not training. The opponents are enemies, desperadoes, and not their comrades who would show restraint.

But they equally have no way out, because the duty of soldiers is to defend the country and protect the people. If they hesitate due to the danger ahead, they are unworthy of being soldiers.

So, upon hearing Wang Hua’s words, no one spoke or showed any sign of wavering. They were very aware of the responsibilities they bore.

"There are only fifteen of you, but according to the information, the Yue People smuggling in, including hostages, number more than thirty, and there are also twenty people to be contacted, split between inside and outside. This mission will be divided into two teams. Now, those whose names I call will be in one team, heading to the jungle on the border of Bagui: He Guang, Cai Zhengyan, Qi Taiguo, Wan Zhisen..." Wang Hua read aloud, and those whose names were called naturally stood aside. Qi Taiguo glanced over and saw Cai Zhengyan looking his way before shifting his gaze nonchalantly.

He felt a chill in his heart, unaware if this team assignment was intentional or not, placing him on this team, and his close friend Gao Linbing was assigned to confront the group from Green Eagle Hall.

Meeting Wan Zhisen’s seemingly mocking gaze, Qi Taiguo’s face showed no expression, but he secretly vowed inwardly that he was determined to climb his way up this path. Whoever wanted him dead, he would kill gods if he met gods, kill Buddhas if he met Buddhas.
