“Commander, how do you plan to handle this matter?”
Qingguo Cang remained silent, his sharp gaze directed out the window, his index finger tapping rhythmically on the desk. Deep within, he was making a very difficult decision.
“Zhang, contact them for me!”
“Yes, Commander!”
As Qingguo Cang's aide for many years, Zhang understood his character well; once he made a decision, no one could change it. Following the satellite phone number left in the photo, Zhang dialed.
“Hello!”
Qingguo Cang’s deep voice carried an awe-inspiring authority. Fang Yuwei glanced at Shen Qingyou, a charming smile blooming on her lips.
“Qing Commander, do you remember me?”
The voice was soft to the bone, a sly smile curling at the corner of her mouth. “Hiraki Keiko, how could I forget you?”
As the chief agent of J Country, she was the number one target of all international organizations. Thirty years ago, they had crossed paths once, but neither had gained an advantage. Now, she was hiding in China, and Qingguo Cang felt the blood within him begin to boil again.
“Hiraki Keiko, Shen Qingyou is innocent; our war should not involve ordinary civilians!”
Hiraki Keiko laughed lightly. “Qing Commander, how could she be an ordinary civilian? She is your daughter-in-law!”
“What do you want?”
Qingguo Cang did not want to continue circling around with her; his tone suddenly turned icy. Hearing his displeasure on the other end of the line, Hiraki Keiko smiled brightly. “Qing Commander, initially we just wanted you to step down from your position, but now I've changed my mind. If you want Shen Qingyou to live, you must exchange your own life for hers!”
In the end, Hiraki Keiko's expression suddenly turned ferocious as if possessed by a ghost. Her feelings for Qingguo Cang were complex and tangled—was it love? Was it hate?
Thirty years ago, she had been ordered to infiltrate China and get close to then-Captain of the Special Operations team, Qingguo Cang, to steal an important document. Everything went smoothly; she used her beauty to seduce Qingguo Cang, preparing to kill him at the moment they were most honest with each other. However, she did not expect that Qingguo Cang had already sensed her intentions. This was her greatest humiliation as a top agent of J Country.
So how would she exchange his life? How would it be done?
"Things are simple. You need to come to Runjiang Bridge now and jump off. As long as you jump, we will release the hostages immediately!"
Qingguo Cang's phone was on speaker, and when everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly darkened. They stood up in shock, and Qingguo Cang waved his hand to signal them not to get agitated.
"What if you don't release them?"
"Qing Commander, you have no other choice but to trust my words!"
Qingguo Cang fell silent. Hiraki Keiko continued, "Qing Commander, our patience has a time limit. Moreover, if she continues to bleed like this, she won't last much longer. We will give you two hours. If by then you can't do it, I'm sorry, but please be prepared to collect your daughter-in-law's body!"
Hiraki Keiko let out a chilling laugh over the phone before hanging up. Everyone present immediately rushed forward and shouted, "Commander!"
Qingguo Cang waved his hand to signal them to sit back on the sofa. After a long time without smoking, he lit a cigarette, walked over, sat down opposite everyone, took a couple of deep puffs, and then turned his gaze to one of them: "Any news from Qing Cang?"
Qing Cang? Wasn't he swept away by an unforeseen tsunami and missing without a trace?
It turned out that the so-called unforeseen tsunami was just a ruse. According to the forecast, they deliberately had Qing Cang's ship approach the area when the tsunami occurred and then secretly submerged into the water. Therefore, what people around the world saw on television—military ships being swept away by the tsunami—were already empty. The purpose of this was to allow Qing Cang and his team to secretly land on Diaoyu Island and disrupt J Country's ongoing violations of international treaties.
"According to reports, they have successfully landed on the island and are now trying to find a way into the Nangong Family to stop them from signing the contract. The so-called owner of Diaoyu Island is selling it to J Country for over four billion."
"No one is allowed to leak this information; otherwise, they will be expelled from military service!" Qingguo Cang's authoritative statement made everyone present acutely aware of the gravity of the situation.
"Commander, you are an important national official. Shen Qingyou is just an ordinary person. If her sacrifice can lead to victory in this battle, her life will have found its value. Commander, you cannot…!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was silenced by a sharp glance from Qingguo Cang: "She is not a soldier; she does not need to sacrifice for national interests. Moreover, all lives are equal; there is no distinction between high and low!"
Qingguo Cang's words left the speaker sweating profusely, lowering his head and falling silent.
"Commander, it's still an hour's drive to Runjiang Bridge; that means we only have half an hour left!"
"Then let's go!"
"Commander!"
"You all stay here on standby, no one is allowed to leave without permission!"
As the sun set, the river was bathed in a glow of orange light. The majestic Runjiang Bridge stood silently over the water, while white egrets flew gracefully in formation. The early spring mist formed a thin veil in the air. Qingguo Cang stood by the bridge, quietly gazing at this land he had protected for many years, a surge of mixed emotions rising within him. Thirty years ago, this was still a fishing village; now, it had become an international metropolis. His mission was to guard this territory and sacrifice for his country, the most noble duty of a soldier.
"How is it over there?"
The computer screen zoomed in on Runjiang Bridge, and Fang Yuwei saw Qingguo Cang in a green uniform. His resolute profile was exactly as she remembered, and her eyes glistened with tears.
Shen Qingyou, who had fallen into a coma, suddenly opened her eyes upon hearing their conversation. Her hazy vision became incredibly clear when she saw the image on the computer screen. She cried out in anguish, "No!"
Struggling to move her body brought excruciating pain. Tears streamed down Shen Qingyou's pale face; how could she let Qingguo Cang die in her place?
"Calm her down!"
A sedative was injected into Shen Qingyou's vein, and soon she lost consciousness, her head drooping as she could no longer see what was happening around her.
...
"Serene! Serene!"
In a white haze, someone was calling her name. Why did it sound so familiar? Shen Qingyou struggled to open her eyes and was met with the familiar face of Qing Cang, who had appeared countless times in her dreams. She reached out to touch this reality but found herself utterly powerless. Her lips trembled as she tried to speak, but it felt like her throat was on fire. Tears began to fall.
"Serene! Serene!"
The disheveled and weary Qing Cang held her hand tightly in his broad palm. A single tear rolled down from the corner of his eye; he was grateful that he had finally woken up.
After completing his mission and reporting back to the organization, he received the devastating news that Shen Qingyou had fallen into the hands of J Country's agents. His father had agreed to their terms to save him. He barely had time to enjoy the victory from their battle at Diaoyu Island before rushing back, only to find Serene so gravely injured.
After drinking some water, Shen Qingyou felt her throat improve. "Dad... Dad!"
Before she could finish speaking, tears flooded again as the door to the hospital room opened. Qingguo Cang entered with a faint smile on his lips: "Serene, you finally woke up!"
What? What is happening?
Shen Qingyou looked at Qingguo Cang in confusion, and Qing Cang smiled and said, "Fool, father is the Commander. Would the organization easily give up on him?"
It turned out that after receiving the call, a secret special force from the country immediately sprang into action. They used more than a dozen submarines to set up an enormous sensing net beneath the Runjiang Bridge. Once Qingguo Cang entered the water, this sensing net would be able to accurately locate him. Then, divers would instantly rescue him from the submarine. All of this was completed within seconds. The agents from J Country never expected such meticulous arrangements to be made underwater. While they were celebrating their victory, Qingguo Cang had already been secretly sent back to the Command Headquarters. However, what they did not anticipate was that just as they were puzzled about how to rescue Shen Qingyou, she was returned to the doorstep of the Command Headquarters, albeit in a near-death state.
Of course, neither Qingguo Cang nor Qing Cang would tell Shen Qingyou about any of this; it was a state secret that could not be casually disclosed. Thus, in her future life, Shen Qingyou always carried this question with her. She was very eager to know what had happened after she fell unconscious, but every time she asked, Qing Cang would just shake his head and hold her shoulder: "What happened in the past is over; don't think about it anymore!"
"By the way, Qing Cang, wasn't it reported on the news that you were blown away by the typhoon?"
Since Qingguo Cang's doubts could not be resolved, asking Qing Cang should be fine, right? Seeing Shen Qingyou suddenly shift the topic to himself, Qing Cang helplessly shook his head: "This matter cannot be disclosed!"
"Qing Cang, you are looking for trouble!"
With all her strength, Shen Qingyou managed to utter this sentence. Qingguo Cang gave Qing Cang a look of helplessness and turned to leave...
－－－－－－Side Note－－－－－－
These two states are not good; they are too patriotic. I wanted to be a bit generous in writing, but it has deviated slightly from the outline. Tomorrow I will return to the main topic. Please forgive this patriotic youth! Thank you again; the following content will not be painful and will mainly focus on the sweet life between Cang and You.
