Chapter 710: Don’t Treat Your Life as Worthless

Director Xie: ...?

’How was what I said imprecise?’

’Forget it.’ He decided not to argue with the man’s foul temper.

He asked curiously, "How did you find out about that business in Wang Family Village?"

It was quite a shock that a murder had actually occurred in that tiny little Wang Family Village.

"How did I find out? Not as fast as you, that’s for sure. This only happened yesterday, and you already know everything today, don’t you?"

Director Xie: ...?

’Is there any point in continuing this conversation?’

"Come on, tell me—"

Qin Wenhao immediately shook off the hand on his shoulder. "Talk normally. Don’t try to gross me out."

"Fine, I’ll tell you. A friend of mine at the police station was investigating the disappearance of Wang Fugui from Wang Family Village. After all, when someone’s been missing that long, you expect to find a body, right?"

"Unfortunately, the situation in Wang Family Village was murky, so he wasn’t making any headway. Luckily, he finally dug something up a while ago, and now everything is coming to a head."

Actually, come to think of it, we have Wang Lihong to thank for this.

My friend happened to know about the three days Wang Lihong was detained, so he paid a little extra attention.

Just as he saw Wang Lihong was about to escape and was thinking of lending a hand, he spotted her cousin going to Wang Fugui’s house in the middle of the night.

It turned out that Wang Lihong’s cousin was having an affair with Wang Fugui’s wife.

So, even if I hadn’t contacted my friend, Wang Dacheng and his son were probably going to be arrested anyway.

Director Xie listened but didn’t ask any more questions.

After all, it wasn’t under their jurisdiction.

"Oh, right. There’s something else I need to tell you."

Hearing this, Qin Wenhao looked up at him. "A mission?"

Director Xie’s expression was much more serious than before.

He nodded. "Yes, there’s a mission. It’s in the Southwest. Once you finish this one, you’ll have time to go back to Beijing with your wife for the New Year. However, this mission has a certain degree of danger. You need to be on high alert and come back to me in one piece. After all, you have a wife and kids at home!"

Qin Wenhao accepted without hesitation.

"Fine."

’When there was a mission, especially a dangerous one, he had to accept it, regardless of whether he had a holiday for the New Year.’

"When do we leave?"

"This one is a bit urgent. Departure is at six this evening, and you need to assemble at five. As for personnel, you choose your own team. Just get me the list before four o’clock."

Qin Wenhao nodded. "Alright."

’He was already running through a list of candidates for the mission in his mind.’

Director Xie looked at Qin Wenhao and suddenly added:

"You might not have time to let your wife know. Why don’t you go tell her at her factory? There’s still time."

Qin Wenhao shook his head. "No, I’ll just leave her a note. My wife is understanding. It won’t be a problem."

’It was just a shame. He had only been reunited with his wife for one night, and now they had to be separated again.’

’Based on his estimates, this mission would take at least a month. He might not even make it back in time to go to Beijing with his wife for the New Year. That talk about a vacation—it was basically empty words. But there was nothing to be done about it. The military came first.’

Director Xie sighed, then reached out and patted Qin Wenhao’s shoulder. "You really married a good woman. So you’d better cherish your life. Think about your wife in every situation, and don’t treat your life like it’s worthless."

Qin Wenhao immediately rolled his eyes at him. "You think I need you to tell me that?"

Director Xie: ?...
