My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

Chapter 838: Hostage

“Alright, I got it.”

The moment he hung up, Qu Mingyi’s voice sounded from behind Leng Jinpeng. “Commander-in-chief, who was that? How’s Chi Yang now?”

Since he was crying earlier, Leng Jinpeng’s eyes were still bloodshot.

He stood up abruptly and sending Qu Mingyi a few steps back instinctively. He was readying himself for a revolt only to hear Leng Jinpeng shout furiously, “Find him! Find him! If he’s alive, I want to see him! If he’s dead, I want to see his corpse! Go down now!”

“Yes, sir!”

Everyone straightened up and saluted him.

Since Chi Yang was already on his way up, Leng Jinpeng would just wait there for him.

After receiving the order, Qu Mingyi and Peng Yaohua were about to leave when they realized that Leng Jinpeng did not move. Peng Yaohua had already reached the door.

“Commander-in-chief, what about you…” Qu Mingyi could not help but speak again when he saw that the commander-in-chief was not leaving.

Leng Jinpeng turned his back to them and waved his hand, pretending to be sad. “Let me remain here for a while. You can go down first.”

“Yes, sir.”

Although Qu Mingyi was suspicious, he could only follow the orders.

Just as he reached the door and was about to enter the hall, he suddenly received a call.

Leng Jinpeng’s body stiffened. He picked up his gun and pointed it at Qu Mingyi.

Leng Jinpeng was fast, but Qu Mingyi was faster.

Since Qu Mingyi was too far away from Leng Jinpeng, he could only pull out his gun quickly and grab Peng Yaohua who was next to him.

Everything changed in a flash.

Peng Yaohua was dumbstruck. When it dawned on him that he was being held hostage by Qu Mingyi, his expression transformed instantly.

“Direc— Commander… save me…”

When Leng Jinpeng raised his gun at Qu Mingyi, all the members of the special forces aimed their guns at Qu Mingyi too.

However, Qu Mingyi was currently cornered.

Behind him was the wall. Meanwhile, it just so happened that they were dead ends on both sides of the wall too.

He pulled Peng Yaohua to the front before hiding behind his figure. He managed to shield himself successfully.

“Don’t come over. If you come over, I’ll shoot him!”

Peng Yaohua was scared out of his wits. He shouted at a group of soldiers from the special forces, “Didn’t you hear that? Get back!”

He then said tentatively to Qu Mingyi, “Chief of Staff Qu, please take it easy. On account of how close we were, control… control yourself, alright? Be careful not to misfire. If you kill me, you’re never escaping here.”

“Qu Mingyi, you really disappoint me!” Leng Jinpeng walked forward to a spot very close to Qu Mingyi. He wanted to save Peng Yaohua, but Qu Mingyi was completely hidden behind Peng Yaohua. There was no opening for him to open fire.

“Leng Jinpeng, tell me, how did you find out that I’m a spy? Is Chi Yang still alive? Even if he’s not dead, he shouldn’t know that I’m a spy. Then, it must be Zhong Nuannuan who called you, right?”

“Yes.” Leng Jinpeng took the chance to smirk.

“I heard she fought with someone in the cafeteria, and it was quite a feat. Unfortunately, I didn’t pay enough attention to it. That resulted in such a severe slip-up in what was supposed to be a sure win today. Since she’s alive, that means my wife’s dead, right? Is my Min dead?”

As he asked, tears dripped down from Qu Mingyi’s eyes. It seemed like his feelings for his wife were real.

“Yes,” Leng Jinpeng answered instantly. “Nuannuan finished her off. We, the military, will never tolerate a Rank-3S killer who wishes to assassinate someone of high importance!”
