Chapter 452: The Mysterious Person Calls Again
The story starts in Chapter 452 of "Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife": Chapter 452: Chapter 452: The Mysterious Person Calls AgainQi Taiguo returned to his room, leaned... Donât miss it!
Chapter 452: Chapter 452: The Mysterious Person Calls AgainQi Taiguo returned to his room, leaned against the headboard, and unfolded the small roll of paper that had fallen out of Zhao Weiâs boot, looking at the names and contact numbers written on it, his hand clenched into a fist.
A piece of paper didnât mean much, and even if submitted, it wouldnât constitute any evidence, but the fact that it had appeared in Zhao Weiâs possession was worth pondering.
Should he turn this in? But then again, could he truly trust the commander?
Qi Taiguo pursed his lips, somewhat uncertain.
The bathroom door clicked, and Qi Taiguo quickly stuffed the note into his trouser pocket, as Gao Linbing walked out, drying his hair.
"Damn, finally took a good bath, tomorrow I can finally go home and cuddle with my wife." Gao Linbing cursed casually as he flopped back on the bed with a long sigh.
He turned his head, noticed the thoughtful expression on Qi Taiguoâs face, and called out, "Still thinking about that matter? In fact, Old Shen is just making an issue out of it, and you were just considering the overall situation. And at your point, couldnât two or three group leaders control the scene? But now that Big Head has run off, itâs a different story!"
"In the end, it was our army who lost soldiers," Qi Taiguo said faintly, "And two were disabled."
Gao Linbingâs expression darkened slightly, he sat down, pulled out a cigarette, threw one to Qi Taiguo, and lit one for himself, taking a fierce drag and said, "Who could have expected these people to be so extreme?"
Qi Taiguo lit the cigarette in his mouth and exhaled deeply.
The two smoked in silence.
"You swept two points, your merit wonât be small!" Qi Taiguo said, looking at him.
"Look at you, talking about merit. Whether or not thereâs merit, thatâs easy to say, we are all serving the country; itâs just a shame that the task wasnât completed perfectly," Gao Linbing sighed.
Far from being perfect, he probably had to take responsibility too.
Qi Taiguo cast his eyes downward.
The door was knocked on, and Gao Linbing went to open it. A sentry was there to summon Qi Taiguo, saying that Commander Shen requested his presence.
With a look of concern, Gao Linbing gazed at Qi Taiguo. It was so late, was this about accountability?
Qi Taiguo, however, was indifferent, picking up his jacket by the bed and walking out. Whatever was coming would come; he was ready.
Having left the hallway and passing the reception area, he was suddenly called again.
"Commander Qi, please hold on, thereâs a phone call for you!" The receptionist lifted the receiver.
Qi Taiguo glanced at the wall clock; it was almost three in the morning. Who could be calling him?
Thinking of the earlier call that had tipped him off, he felt a movement in his heart and took the phone, saying "hello."
Sure enough, the caller was the person who had called him before, and at that moment, Qi Taiguoâs gaze turned sharp.
"Commander Qi, what did you find in Master Weiâs boot?" the voice on the phone asked.
He even knew about that? Qi Taiguoâs gaze became even more enigmatic, and he asked in a lowered voice, "Who are you, exactly? Did you kill him?"
Laughter came through the receiver, "Are you stupid? If I wanted to kill him, I wouldnât have tipped you off. Now, tell me, what did you get from him?"
Qi Taiguo fell silent, not answering.
That was classified information; there was no way he could just reveal it so carelessly.
"Let me guess, was it someone whoâs been in contact with Master Wei? Someone from within your military?"
Qi Taiguoâs face changed slightlyâhe could guess even this much. Just who was this person, and how did they know such confidential matters!
"What exactly do you know?" Qi Taiguoâs voice was barely audible.
This mysterious person was too enigmatic, having first informed him of Zhao Weiâs escape route, and now implying they had inside knowledge. This mystery callerâjust who were they, and how did they know so much!
An outline flickered through Qi Taiguoâs mind, that silhouette seemed somewhat familiar.
