Qi Taiguo, who Cheng kept talking about, was also discussing his son with Gao Linbing, and proudly took out a photo from his pocket to show him.
"Isn’t my son handsome?" Qi Taiguo said proudly, "Not to brag, but in this family compound, I’ve never seen a kid so smart and handsome since childhood. This is my son."
Gao Linbing laughed, "You’re satisfied now, with a wife and son. Maybe you’ll get promoted again next year."
Qi Taiguo took back the photo and said, "There’s no satisfaction, just more responsibility." He added, "Don’t be bitter, both of us are deputy battalion commanders; maybe we’ll get promoted together next year. Besides, what I have, you have too. Your son is also a few years old now."
Gao Linbing’s eyes darkened, but he quickly feigned indifference and said, "I can’t compare to you."
He looked into the distance, his gaze somewhat hollow.
"What’s wrong? Is there anything at home you’re unhappy with? Just say the word, we’re brothers, can’t we lend a hand?" Qi Taiguo said.
"It’s nothing! Just feel that life is unpredictable, and many things often don’t go as wished." Gao Linbing smiled.
Just as Qi Taiguo was about to speak, Cheng Jiasheng walked over, "Reporting, suspected target has appeared."
The two immediately became alert, stopped talking, and took their positions.
Qi Taiguo used binoculars to look at the village entrance, where a ’elderly man’ with gray hair appeared in sight.
"Cheng Ning, go to rendezvous, confirm the identity, and bring the person back. All units, pay attention to changes in surroundings."
"Received!"
After a while, a woman dressed in a floral cotton-padded jacket with long braids happily walked up to the ’old man,’ raising her hand like a young wife welcoming her father-in-law.
And upon contact, she hugged the ’father-in-law.’
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, identity confirmed; it was the intelligence officer, communicated through an embrace.
"Cheng Ning, that kid, really looks the part when dressed as a woman. No wonder he usually loves pulling tricks." Qi Taiguo laughed and cursed.
"Indeed..."
