Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Time to Go Home

Cheng Su had made shaved ice, which, although novel, was quite rough compared to what she had eaten in her previous life. The authentic version would be made using Shaved Ice Powder, but whether that substance was available, Cheng Su had no idea. She would have to make careful inquiries.

Despite this, such a novel item still sparked quite a reaction. After all, there were many people who loved new things in these times. Poor Cheng Su and her team, after finishing their lunchtime business, had to rush to make shaved ice until it was dark before returning to the courtyard.

But counting the banknotes every evening, Cheng Su felt that her hard work was worth it!

After securing the bundles of money in the drawer, Cheng Su laid on the small bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Since the opening of the business several days ago, she had been working from dawn to dusk. The hardships had brought in nearly two hundred in profit, which was considered a lot of money in those times.

During this time, aside from some initial setbacks, things had gone smoothly. Cheng Su wondered how Qi Taiguo was faring.

Others envied Qi Taiguo for becoming a commander at such a young age, but Cheng Su knew that success never came easily. There were no pies falling from the sky; such a military position must have been earned through desperate struggle, hence the missions were certainly dangerous.

Cheng Su was right, for at that moment, Qi Taiguo was engaged in fierce combat!

"Commander Qi, the big ’Eagle’ is fleeing east with weapons and plenty of ammunition. Reply if received." Amid bursts of gunshots over the radio, Commander Fang urgently called for a response.

"Received. I’m moving from the south to encircle." After killing a lackey, Qi Taiguo quickly replied.

This operation was to assist with border anti-drug trafficking, codenamed ’Eagle’. The leader ’Tyrant Eagle’ was an utterly reprehensible person, trafficking drugs using human bodies and even children, which was outrageous to both gods and men.

Now, as the operation neared its end, Tyrant Eagle’s lair had been taken down in one fell swoop by them. Capturing this major drug lord would mark the mission’s successful conclusion.

"Veteran, you take Team Six and finish up here. Xiao Liu, Yongzi, come with me to the south for the encirclement," directed Qi Taiguo as he glanced at the sky, "The day is getting dark; we must hurry. Once it starts raining, it’ll be difficult to navigate the dense forest and even harder to capture Tyrant Eagle."

"Yes!" The ones called out responded promptly.

Qi Taiguo tightened the straps of his backpack and crouched low as he led the way forward, his movements swift and fierce.

Two hours later, faint gunfire was heard. Qi Taiguo’s eyes were sharp as an eagle’s; he signalled with his hand, sank slightly, and moved towards the source of the gunfire as light as a feather.

"Commander Qi, be careful."

Bang!

A gust of wind passed by, and Qi Taiguo, with keen reflexes, dodged to one side as a bullet flew from his left front, grazing his arm.

Blood instantly soaked through his clothes, yet Qi Taiguo ignored the pain, his gaze intensifying as he calmly raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

The wind whistled through the treetops, but he heard the distinct sound of a bullet hitting flesh followed by a muffled groan. Like a leopard, he pounced towards the source of the sound to his left front.

"Split and encircle left and right." Commander Qi issued the command without missing a beat, his silhouette disappearing in an instant.

Xiao Liu and Yongzi quickly darted out to the left and right.

Raindrops started to fall, pitter-patter, while a few gunshots, sounds of fighting, howls, and shouts were swiftly swallowed by the rain.

Home, it was time to return.
