BXBX NOVEL Chapter 184: Another Side of This Man
Chi Enen’s grip on her bag tightened suddenly, almost unable to resist standing up!
The wounds on Li Beijue’s body were tended to by her, and no one knew more clearly than her how seriously injured this man was. With old wounds and new wounds yet unhealed, he was actually crawling on the concrete floor, using the strength of his abdomen to move forward… Chi Enen clenched her fists, unable to describe the feeling in her heart.
Even though it wasn’t her crawling forward, she could imagine just how painful it must be.
Her gaze was locked tightly on the man who moved like the wind, showing no signs of pain or injury. She watched wide-eyed as he crawled to the side of the bus, leaped up like a cheetah, and deftly threw a smoke grenade through the window. Then he was the first to flip into the bus, with movements so swift and clean!
Inside, a gunshot rang out.
Chi Enen knew this was an exercise and that there wouldn’t be casualties, yet she couldn’t help but clasp her hands together, gripping the strap of her bag until her knuckles turned white.
People around her were pointing to the center of the field, exchanging opinions.
The buzzing of the crowd seemed both close to her and yet far away… Finally, there was movement inside the bus. Li Beijue, leading the contingents, walked out composedly with several men who looked like gangsters in tow.
“Hostage rescue mission successful! Time taken: 2 minutes 35 seconds! Casualties: 0! Hostages injured: 0! Gangsters captured alive: 6! Number of gangsters: 6!”
It was perfect, tremendous, utterly thrilling!
The whole venue spontaneously stood up, bursting into thunderous applause.
Chi Enen also stood up, clapping her hands. She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but the man marching at the front, as straight as a knife, seemed to glance her way.
However, by the time she looked again, he was already out of sight.
After the first round of hostage rescue exercises ended, there were other military performances.
Chi Enen’s eyes followed the most central and dazzling man, watching him change back into his military uniform, noting his face slightly pale but his features sharp and neat as he stood at the command post issuing orders with composure. Watching him shine bright, the center of public admiration, just like the first time she met him, the first time she understood this man! Realizing the determined and strong aspects behind his assertive and domineering style!
Finally, under the frenzied flashbulbs of journalists and the applause of the crowd, the military performance came to a successful conclusion.
The man at the command post calmly took off his earmuffs and looked towards the viewing platform. His glance in this direction was unintentional, but when the others saw him looking, they followed his gaze. Almost instantly, all eyes were on Chi Enen—
“Who is that woman? Why is she sitting in Commander Li’s position?”
“Yeah, who is that woman, and what’s her relationship with Commander Li?”
“Haven’t seen her before, how did she get here? Could it be that she’s followed him here, clinging to Commander Li?”
“Look at her soft and frail appearance, how can she match up to the Military Commander? A man like the Military Commander should at least be matched with someone like Miss Sheng, right?”
A tidal wave of discussion swept over.
Chi Enen felt as if she had been stripped naked and suddenly thrown in front of the public, powerless to stop everyone from pointing and commenting on her.
Some gossip reached her ears, she pursed her lips tight, her mouth corners a bit pale, but still she straightened her back, pretending not to hear anything, sitting upright in her seat!
