Chapter 441: Chapter 61 I Want to Take You Home and Have Monkeys

"It wasn’t our fault. There were two female soldiers in their team too strong; the enemy must be Special Ability Users," a subordinate explained tremulously.

"How can you be certain they are Special Ability Users?" The middle-aged man gripped his fingers tightly, so angry he felt like killing someone. Not only had he lost subordinates, but he also lost three billion worth of goods.

He looked at the subordinates kneeling before him, even killing them wouldn’t alleviate his hatred.

"One of the women could use ice. Another’s tactics were elusive, but she moved very fast and could actually control seven daggers with her mind," the kneeling subordinate hurriedly explained. He was truly afraid his boss would kill him in a fit of displeasure.

"Useless! Even if they are that formidable, there’s a saying ’three cobblers exceed the wisest scholars’. With so many weapons at your disposal, could you really not deal with them?" the middle-aged man kicked the man before him fiercely.

The subordinates were frightened to death.

"This isn’t over! They’ve killed so many of my men and caused a loss of three billion. I want you to find a way to lure that woman out. I will kill them. Otherwise, in the coming days, they’ll continue to ruin our plans," Kang Di waved his hand grandly, pulling out a map.

He was planning another trap, this time specifically for Gu Xiaoxi and Yun Xiao.

Without dealing with the strongest among them, they couldn’t continue to live in peace.

Kang Di was one of the two major villains leading an organization in Dongqi Country.

Over the years, he’d opposed the military and police forces of the Dongqi Country from the shadows.

Many peacekeeping soldiers had died at his hands.

Cunning in strategy, he was a deceitful man.

In Gu Xiaoxi’s hospital room, the highest commander of Dongqi Country came bearing a bouquet of purple flowers, enthusiastically saying, "Miss Gu, your courage and contribution to this mission’s victory are indisputable. Your heroic performance will be remembered by Dongqi Country; we are grateful for the friendship between our two nations and the support of Liuli Country."

"You’re overstating it. The ones you should be most grateful for are the companions who have died in battle. Compared to them, I’m at least still alive," Gu Xiaoxi responded indifferently.

She held no fondness for the man before her but couldn’t be overly rude to him.

After all, he was eighty percent responsible for her companions’ deaths.

When Commander Mo Wensheng heard Gu Xiaoxi’s tepid tone, his expression soured.

He had heard she performed exceptionally well and came especially to see her, only to be met with such indifference.

"Officer Gu, you are right, this time we truly need to show our appreciation to the warriors of Liuli Country. Their sacrifice made the successful completion of the mission possible; their contribution is irreplaceable," Mo Wensheng said with what seemed like a good attitude. However, his hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched tightly.

Especially when he looked at Gu Xiaoxi, his face was filled with displeasure.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi seemed a bit tired, Yeh Bai immediately stepped forward and politely said to Mo Wensheng, "Officer Gu’s injuries are quite severe, and she shouldn’t talk too much. General, since you’ve come a long way, please have a cup of tea while I go inform the commanding officer."

"No need, I just came to check on Officer Gu. Now that’s there’s no issue, I’ll be on my way," Mo Wensheng turned and left with a stern expression.

Gu Xiaoxi watched his retreating figure, lying on the bed and gazing at the ceiling.

In reality, victory and defeat are common in military affairs.

Although this time was perilous, the outcome was favorable.

She couldn’t outright dismiss Mo Wensheng’s abilities; after all, he was a general.

But the sight of her comrades’ sacrifice was unbearable for her.

The work of peacekeeping is not only dangerous but also pertains to the amity between nations.

Mo Wensheng had just left.

Cheng Guang arrived shortly after.

Knowing that Gu Xiaoxi did not wish to see him, Yeh Bai found an excuse and said to Cheng Guang, "Her injuries are severe, and she is resting now. It’s not advisable for you to disturb her."

"I have something very important to discuss. I need to speak with her, even if it’s inconvenient," Cheng Guang said, bypassing Yeh Bai and heading straight for Gu Xiaoxi’s hospital room.

Upon opening the door, he saw Gu Xiaoxi lying in bed, evidently asleep.

But beneath the covers, her hand held a half-eaten apple.

Hearing the noise, Gu Xiaoxi pretended to have just woken up, opened her eyes, and said with a beaming smile to Cheng Guang, "Commanding Officer, what brings you here?"

"I came to see how you are doing with your injuries. Yeh Bai, you go ahead with your work. Miss Gu and I have something to discuss," Cheng Guang stood at Gu Xiaoxi’s hospital bed, his expression solemn.

Gu Xiaoxi was curious, what did he want to talk to her about?

After Yeh Bai left, Cheng Guang glanced at Gu Xiaoxi’s complexion and smiled, "You’re recovering quite well!"

"Commander, whatever it is, just say it," Gu Xiaoxi said with a gentle smile.

Cheng Guang lowered his head and pondered for a moment before sighing and looking at Gu Xiaoxi intently, "You applied to the country for exclusive command rights."

"How did you know?" Gu Xiaoxi was shocked. She had only discussed this with Quan Shaoqing.

The document hadn’t been sent to Zhao Guoqiang yet.

"Don’t worry about how I knew. I’m asking you, are you confident?" Cheng Guang asked with a very serious expression.

"What do you mean?"

Cheng Guang stood in front of Gu Xiaoxi’s hospital bed, his hands clasped behind his back, pacing back and forth, seemingly weighed down by heavy thoughts.

It took a long time before he looked up at Gu Xiaoxi and said, "Actually, I’ve had the idea for a while now. I just never had the courage to do it."

"Why?" Gu Xiaoxi didn’t understand.

Cheng Guang looked at Gu Xiaoxi with a grave expression, "Over the years of peacekeeping, the sacrifices have always been great. We, as commanders, see it and feel it in our hearts. The cultures of Dongqi Country and Liuli Country are different from ours; they understand our soldiers even less. On the battlefield, to put it nicely, they are brave and fierce; to put it bluntly, they are reckless."

"Victories are often bought with blood. Because of the prolonged war, their soldiers go straight to battle after training, without much military cultivation. So, in their eyes, there’s only victory, regardless of human life or death. But we are different; training just one person in our troops costs a fortune, all to form an elite. If we mix these two forces and let them command, our elites can’t perform to their extraordinary level."

"You’re a newcomer, but you spotted this issue on your first time at war. I admire your observational skills and courage to directly send a letter back to our country. Tell me honestly, do you have connections in the Military Department?" Cheng Guang asked with a serious face.

Gu Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, speechless, "What do you mean connections? I have none! It’s just that my mother-in-law lives next door to Mr. President. Some acquaintance!"

"How can you say you don’t have connections!"

"What kind of connection is that? If you have something to say, Commander, just say it quickly," Gu Xiaoxi urged. If they continued, he would think she has even more backdoors due to her relationship with Quan Shaoqing.

"If that’s the case, the better. I’ll also write a letter back to our country, hoping to get this matter underway... of course, it would be best if we could draw more attention to it." Cheng Guang discussed some matters regarding the military base location with Gu Xiaoxi as well.

The current location of their garrison had been the same for four or five years, and they hoped to negotiate with Dongqi Country for a more concealed spot.

Otherwise, the enemy would treat their headquarters as their own vegetable garden, coming and going as they please.

The danger was also very significant.

After all, Cheng Guang had been stationed here for quite a while and was very familiar with the situation in Dongqi Country.

After Cheng Guang left, Gu Xiaoxi received a call from Quan Shaoqing.

They had not seen each other for just over ten days, but it felt like several years had passed.

Gu Xiaoxi sat by the windowsill, sipping tea while talking on the phone, "Did you call for a reason?"

"I read your report and showed it to the General Commander. He said it needs further investigation, and he will visit Dongqi Country next month. He’ll discuss the matter in person with the peacekeeping Team Leader and Dongqi Country."

After hearing Quan Shaoqing’s words, Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "You move so fast. This is just my personal suggestion, but it’s great that the General Commander is coming himself. It just so happens that Commander Cheng has something to say to him too. As a soldier, all I can do is report what I see to my superiors, as for how to solve it, I have no control over that."

"Wife, we haven’t seen each other for so long. Besides official matters, don’t you have something else you should be saying to me?" Quan Shaoqing’s tone suddenly became profoundly suggestive.

Gu Xiaoxi tightened her grip on the phone, her lips curving into a blush, "Am I not talking to you right now?"

Her delicate eyebrows and eyes already revealed a bright smile.

"Do you miss me?" Quan Shaoqing asked.

"I miss you a little bit," Gu Xiaoxi responded cheerfully.

Quan Shaoqing’s tone became a bit more serious, "How could you miss me just a little bit? Besides missions, what else have you been up to with all that time?"

"I’ve been busy!" Gu Xiaoxi said with a gentle and sweet voice: "Busy thinking about many things for our future. Like, when will we go to the battlefield together! Or after we’re no longer soldiers, what you will bring me to do!"

At that, a smile lifted the corners of Quan Shaoqing’s mouth.

"My dear, I want to bring you home, to have children," Quan Shaoqing thought to himself, feeling that such days would be wonderful.
