Chapter 14 Decision
Just then, a general-level officer slowly walked out from the crowd. Tang Qianqian was overjoyed when she saw him and rushed over, then hugged the suddenly appearing general tightly, exclaiming with delight, "Dad!"
dad?
Chao Bufan was slightly startled, but when he saw the badge on the man's chest, he was even more surprised. A general? So this general was Tang Guoqiang. No wonder such a large force was here, even the Divine Dragon Team was here. However, this also confirmed his previous thought: the Tang Guoqiang that Tang Guorong mentioned was the Tang Guoqiang he knew—the Chief of the General Staff of a certain military region in HX.
Tang Guoqiang smiled and then gently patted his daughter's back, asking with concern, "They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian shook her head and said, "No."
Tang Guoqiang smiled kindly and said softly, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!"
Immediately, Tang Guoqiang patted his daughter's shoulder, signaling her to let go of his hand. Tang Qianqian understood and quickly released his hand. Then she walked to the side and greeted the officials behind Tang Guoqiang, saying things like "Uncle Li, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhou."
Tang Guoqiang stepped forward, and Mountain Eagle, Crouching Dragon, and Cheetah saluted in unison: "Chief of Staff Tang!"
Tang Guoqiang nodded, then looked Chao Bufan up and down before asking, "You're Falcon?"
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled faintly, then shrugged and replied unhurriedly, "It was true before, but not anymore."
"kindness?"
Mountain Eagle, Crouching Dragon, and Cheetah were all taken aback. Mountain Eagle asked in confusion, "Falcon, what are you talking about?"
"Sigh—" Chao Bufan sighed softly with his hands behind his back, then smiled faintly and said, "Mountain Eagle, I've changed my name to Chao Bufan now. Falcon has already sacrificed itself in the last mission."
He said this as if it were a trivial matter, so much so that Mountain Eagle and the others thought they had misheard and stood there dumbfounded.
"Dad, so he's the Falcon from the most mysterious special forces unit in HX—the Dragon Team?"
Tang Qianqian suddenly walked to her father Tang Guoqiang's side and asked in a low voice.
Tang Guoqiang nodded, and Tang Qianqian quickly stuck out her tongue, feeling incredibly surprised that she had the honor of sharing a car with such a god-like figure as HX, and even sharing his troubles. No wonder—
Immediately, Tang Qianqian's face darkened, and she said softly, "Dad, Uncle has already..."
Tang Guoqiang nodded and said "Mm". In fact, when he learned that the young man in front of him with his daughter was the Falcon of the Shenlong Team, he already knew the outcome. That's why he had just signaled one of his officers to take people into the house to clean up the scene.
The house was surrounded by layers of soldiers, so much so that not even a mosquito could get in. At this moment, the house had been cleaned spotlessly.
In a relatively large room, Mountain Eagle, Crouching Dragon, and Cheetah were confronting Chao Bufan, but judging from their expressions, they seemed extremely angry, while Tang Guoqiang sat calmly on the sofa against the wall.
"Falcon, you fucking bastard!"
Suddenly, Mountain Eagle frowned, his face contorted with rage, and he pointed at Chao Bufan, launching into a tirade: "Do you know that once you leave the Divine Dragon Team, you can never rejoin? Are you out of your mind or something? You're a pig, aren't you?"
"I have decided!"
Chao Bufan's expression was calm and composed, but his tone was firm as he said, "Falcon sacrificed himself in the last mission. Now I am just an ordinary citizen, so there is no need for me to stay any longer."
His decision made the atmosphere in the room even more oppressive. Shan Ying and the others gasped, their expressions extremely complicated, and the air was thick with tension. Tang Guoqiang, on the other hand, frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
"Kid, are you sure you won't regret this later?"
Tang Guoqiang suddenly spoke, staring sharply at Chao Bufan, and said meaningfully, "At your current age, to have risen to the rank of lieutenant general in the military is already unprecedented. If you continue to develop in the Shenlong Team, your future will be bright. If you accumulate more merits, you will become the youngest senior general in HX's history. This means you will become a legend in HX's military, an insurmountable myth. Falcon, have you thought it through?"
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan gave a bitter smile, and then said resolutely, "I have thought it through very clearly. I want to live the life I want."
"You brat, you're really determined to leave the Dragon Team, aren't you? Fine, but only if you get over my head!"
Cheetah rudely took off his military cap and threw it aside, rolled up his sleeves, and said angrily, "You want to force me to take action, huh? Fine, fine, even if I break your arms and legs today, I'll still bring you back to the Dragon Team."
Seeing this, Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, then said lightly, "Cheetah, you should save your breath! You're good at everything, except you love to brag. I just don't understand, do you think you'll die if you don't brag? Do you remember when we sparred last time? Have you forgotten the pain already?"
Upon hearing this, Cheetah felt a burning sensation on his face, as if it had been ironed. He knew that a few months ago he had fought with Falcon, and the guy had been ruthless and merciless, beating up his once handsome face until it was noticeably swollen. If they were to fight now, he knew he wouldn't come out on top, but Falcon's words had infuriated him beyond measure; he found them utterly despicable.
"Comrades, brothers, my mind is made up. Don't try to persuade me." Chao Bufan said resolutely, his face filled with determination. "As you know, I died once during the last mission. Even I can't believe I survived." He paused, then continued, "The reason I left quietly wasn't because I wanted to. It's because God gave me a second life, so I must make the most of it. Now, all I want is a simple, peaceful life on the land of HX, free from fighting and killing. That's what I want."
Chao Bufan paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, I will abide by all the rules of the army. What I should forget, I have completely forgotten now. I just want to be an ordinary civilian now, I have no other desires; so, I hope you will not make things difficult for me and let me leave. At the same time, I also hope you will not tell the old commanders that I am still alive, just let Falcon rest in peace!"
