After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum-Chapter 988 - 987: Would You Be Willing to Take His Place Even If It Means Death?

Chapter 987: Are You Willing to Replace Him Even If It Means Dying?

However, Mengyu was quite clever, her Divine Sense already observing its momentum. When the Carp Spirit swung its tail over, she quickly dodged out of the way.

Nonetheless, the water in the cave was stirred up by it, shooting towards the cave walls with a loud crash. The sound was greatly amplified by the echoes in the empty cave.

But Gu Dongxing had long prepared his Palmar Thunder, and as its gills were pierced, he unleashed the Palmar Thunder on it relentlessly.

Unfortunately, the Carp Spirit’s Dao cultivation was too advanced; the Palmar Thunder hit its body, only leaving a few black marks on its scales.

Seeing that physical attacks couldn’t defeat the Carp Spirit, Mengyu brought out her ultimate move—the Divine Sensing Cone, which she had just condensed, and shot it between the Carp Spirit’s eyes.

While Mengyu and Gu Dongxing were battling the Carp Spirit on this side, someone else appeared in the Blood-sucking Array. This time, only one person came.

Captain Feng Dongcheng should have been happy to see reinforcements arriving, but instead, he found himself staring straight at the newcomer.

"What, don’t recognize me?"

Nan Mingzhu’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this voice; it sounded like the person who had helped her with a task.

To ensure Gu Dongxing couldn’t attend the engagement ceremony, she used the phone number Nan Ming had given her for emergencies and made a request to the owner of this number. As a result, Gu Dongxing was chosen to participate in this mission.

Is this person really the one who fulfilled her wish?

Feng Dongcheng was at a loss when he heard the man speak, because this was the very person who had designated Gu Dongxing for the mission. His surname was Nangong, and he was the Deputy Group Leader of the Dragon Team.

"Greetings, sir!" Feng Dongcheng quickly saluted.

The others followed suit: "Greetings, sir!"

Deputy Group Leader Nangong looked at everyone one by one and asked Cheng Jiuhe, "Is he Gu Dongxing?"

Cheng Jiuhe quickly saluted again: "Reporting to the leader, I am not Commander Gu Dongxing; I am Vice Commander Cheng Jiuhe. With Captain Feng’s approval, I am here to replace our commander for this Dragon Team mission."

Feng Dongcheng hurriedly added, "Reporting to the leader, Commander Gu Dongxing was unable to come due to issues, and Vice Commander Cheng Jiuhe came in his stead to carry out the mission, with my approval."

For some reason, he instinctively wanted to hide the fact that Gu Dongxing and Jiang Mengyu had followed them here. Therefore, he didn’t mention that Gu Dongxing and Jiang Mengyu had come along.

And Cheng Jiuhe clearly shared the same sentiment; the two of them tacitly decided not to mention Gu Dongxing’s presence.

Deputy Group Leader Nangong’s eyes flashed with anger, his aura pressing down on Feng Dongcheng and Cheng Jiuhe: "Who gave you permission to change people on my orders?" He turned to Cheng Jiuhe and demanded, "Who let you replace others to carry out missions?"

"Reporting to the leader, this investigation required only an innate master, and Vice Commander Cheng Jiuhe is an innate master. Anyone capable would suffice, so I allowed it," Feng Dongcheng replied under pressure.

Cheng Jiuhe exerted all his strength to withstand the pressure: "Reporting to the leader, our commander only gets married once in his life. To promote unity and mutual help among comrades, I carried out the mission for him."

Deputy Group Leader Nangong glared fiercely at Cheng Jiuhe: "Are you willing to replace him even if it means dying?"

Cheng Jiuhe looked straight ahead and declared loudly, "Reporting to the leader, I am willing!"

Nan Mingzhu suddenly stepped forward: "Reporting to the leader, despite Vice Commander Cheng replacing Commander Gu for the mission, Commander Gu was not at ease and immediately tracked us down. Therefore, you don’t need to blame Captain Feng or Vice Commander Cheng."

After speaking, Nan Mingzhu looked towards Cheng Jiuhe as if expecting gratitude, as if she had defended him. However, Cheng Jiuhe’s expression turned towards her with a fierce glare; he was internally furious at her for revealing Gu Dongxing’s presence!
