Chapter 825: The Old Commander Compromises

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Indeed, the elderly commander regained his composure, his gaze falling upon Su Shen and Huo Jing. These two were the only survivors from the dense forest years ago. To rescue Gong Zhan, they were the most likely candidates to succeed.

Huo Jing was the first to react, squinting his eyes, a hint of calculation in his gaze. He then lit a cigarette and joked, “Commander, you’re not seriously considering sending us, are you? Since when does one sign up for a suicide mission twice?”

The elderly commander was apologetic, but he still spoke, “Su Shen, Huo Jing, we have received orders from above. This man must be rescued. You two have the experience, and I believe you can complete this mission. In fact, you are the only ones who can.”

As Su Shen watched the exchange, Huo Jie suddenly burst in from outside, her eyes red. She stood in front of Su Shen, pleading, “Uncle, you can’t let Su Shen go. My father’s dying wish was for us to get engaged. You can’t send Su Shen to his death!”

Before Hu Xiao’s departure years ago, he had left instructions. Besides arranging for Hu Jie to marry Su Shen, he had also requested that Su Shen never again participate in any drug-related operations. He had even submitted a formal request to the higher-ups, who were aware of this. Furthermore, Su Shen’s previous rescue mission had been a near-death experience. The higher-ups had granted Hu Xiao’s dying wish, exempting Su Shen from any further drug-related operations.

Su Shen was Hu Xiao’s most prized student, and the military did not want to lose him in the dense forest. It would not just be a loss, but a severing of Hu Xiao’s legacy, which would dishearten the other soldiers.

However, to the elderly commander, these were nothing more than outdated and conservative views. He urgently needed to solve the current problem. With a wave of his hand, two guards stepped forward and escorted Huo Jie away.

Su Shen paid no attention to Huo Jie. He looked at the elderly commander and calmly said, “If this is to be my final mission, I will go and ensure its completion. But if it’s not, I have every reason to refuse.”

The elderly commander was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Su Shen’s determination to leave the military to be so strong. Su Shen would never ignore a life in danger, but his intelligence lay in using this opportunity to secure his freedom. Su Shen knew he had no other choice. If he failed to rescue Gong Zhan now, he feared he would be held accountable for a major error.

The elderly commander nodded. Su Shen and Huo Jing exchanged a glance, then hurriedly left to prepare for their mission. The situation was extremely urgent, and there was no room for delay.
