Di Mingchen’s words also startled the old man, scaring him into a cold sweat. What did he just say? He wants to resign?

Before he could think too much, a black cloth was suddenly thrown over his head, and he was forcefully taken away.

On the way back, Di Mingchen felt extremely oppressed, particularly suffocated.

The suffocation came from feeling it was unworthy for Su Wei.

He understood clearly that if Su Wei hadn’t died on duty, his rank would have been high, and An Xin and his parents only wanted wealth and prosperity, didn’t they?

Poor Su Wei, so righteous, a soldier with morally sound and steadfast conduct, never expected to be ruined by his own family like this.

And as for An Xin and his parents’ thoughts, Di Mingchen knew very well, that with Su Wei dead, An Xin could achieve wealth and power by being with him.

They are indeed calculating and scheming. Unfortunately, Di Mingchen never once had any romantic thoughts toward An Xin, only friendship, but even this friendship was utterly destroyed!

A surge of anger in his heart had nowhere to be vented, he was very upset.

These are the people he used his life to protect, the ones he valued more than life itself!

How many more of such people are there that he doesn’t know? He was truly disheartened now.

The warriors risk their lives, shed blood and sweat, enduring tough training every day, all to protect the safety of the country and its people.

Yet among those they protect, there is no shortage of wicked people, and although they may not break the law, their hearts...

His chest felt as if it was filled with fury, with no outlet, Di Mingchen had nowhere to vent.

His near-berserk state made the Wild Leopard Strike Force sitting beside him very nervous.

The entire process, they witnessed firsthand, An Xin’s family’s shamelessness completely shattered their perceptions, and the fact that they were Su Wei’s family was utterly infuriating. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

This is humanity—some people will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

The commander did so many good deeds, only to be forced into such a predicament, caught in a dilemma.

Some team members wanted to say something to comfort him, but when they opened their mouths, they found they couldn’t say a single word.

Then suddenly, Di Mingchen’s phone rang, and he anxiously took it out. Upon seeing the name on it, his agitated mood calmed a little.

"Wife," he answered, and the near-berserk appearance was strangely soothed, even becoming gentle.

"Husband," came Nangong Ran’s cheerful voice from the other end, "What are you doing?"

"Handling some matters," Di Mingchen rubbed his nose, leaning back on the seat a bit tiredly.

"Oh." Nangong Ran nodded.

"Did you call for something?" Di Mingchen asked, a slight smile playing on his lips, completely different from his earlier violent demeanor.

"Just wanted to ask about the red envelopes, how much did you say the small ones were a few days ago?" Nangong Ran asked with a playful smile.

"Each envelope is ninety-nine, and there are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine envelopes in total," Di Mingchen replied with a laugh, "Your memory is really bad."

"Hehe." Nangong Ran stuck out her tongue, "Oh, actually I just miss you."

"I know." Di Mingchen laughed, "I miss you too."

The nearby Wild Leopard Strike Force almost got goosebumps, so sweet!

"Alright, I got it, I’ll hang up then."

"Xiaoran," Di Mingchen suddenly called out to her.

"Hm?" Nangong Ran raised an eyebrow.

"What do you think if I stop being the commander?" Di Mingchen suddenly asked, closing his eyes with some weariness, "I mean early retirement."
