A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 15 Tang Guoqiang

Chao Bufan spoke eloquently and sincerely, without any exaggeration. The four people present gradually felt a heavy weight pressing down on their hearts, and they all felt like they could hardly breathe.

"No, we will never agree to it no matter what," Mountain Eagle and the others said in unison, their voices firm and resolute.

However, Chao Bufan just smiled, and the four of them froze again.

"Ugh……"

After a long silence, Tang Guoqiang finally spoke. He sighed softly, his expression filled with regret, and said, "Forget it, his heart is already gone, why keep him? Let him go! Falcon, you're giving up a bright future, yet you're willing to live such a simple life. Since you're so determined, I won't say anything more. I hope you take care of yourself! Mountain Eagle, you shouldn't try to persuade him anymore, just let him go!"

Since Chief of Staff Tang had said so, what could the Mountain Eagles and the others possibly say? They were also very disappointed and annoyed, but they still nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Mountain Eagle and the others had finally agreed, Chao Bufan's expression turned serious, and he quickly gave a standard military salute to express his gratitude.

Mountain Eagle glanced at Chao Bufan, and asked with a hint of regret, "Kid, what are your plans for the future?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan shook his head with a slightly bewildered expression. Mountain Eagle said, "Then at least you should let us know your whereabouts, right? In case anything happens, it will be easier for us to contact you."

Chao Bufan immediately saw through Shan Ying and the others' thoughts, shook his head and smiled, saying, "Since I'm already here, what else could I possibly be planning? But speaking of which..." He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "As for what to do, to be honest, I haven't decided yet, because..." He scratched his head and chuckled, somewhat embarrassed, "I don't even have an ID card!"

Fu Long rolled his eyes at him and said irritably, "You don't even have an ID card, and you still want to leave the Divine Dragon Team?"

“I’ve changed my name!” Chao Bufan said. “I’m called Chao Bufan now, all I need is an ID card.”

Tang Guoqiang shook his head and smiled, saying, "The ID card issue is easy. You've made great contributions to HX, so I can take care of that for you."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan was overjoyed and said, "Then thank you very much, Chief of Staff Tang!"

After listening to his daughter's detailed account, Tang Guoqiang sighed inwardly, thankful that Falcon hadn't died, thankful that Falcon had headed south, thankful that Falcon and his daughter were in the same car, and thankful that Falcon had saved his daughter. Otherwise, if they had resorted to desperate measures and taken his daughter hostage, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Therefore, Tang Guoqiang was truly grateful to Falcon, but due to his position, he couldn't express his gratitude on the spot.

"Falcon, tell me about your plans for the future!" Tang Guoqiang said.

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan put his hands in his pockets, shrugged and smiled casually, saying, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I've saved up quite a bit of money over the years. Even if I just sit around waiting to die, I can still live a simple life."

"Oh ho," Mountain Eagle said with a look of disappointment, "I never expected that the mainstay of the mighty Dragon Team would have such lofty ambitions and aspirations after leaving the team. It's truly admirable!"

Chao Bufan naturally understood the barbed words of Shan Ying, but he wasn't angry. He grinned and said, "Hehe, that's what I've thought for at least the last year or two."

Tang Guoqiang pondered for a moment, then asked, "Chao Bufan, would you be interested in working for the Tang Group?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan gave a wry smile and then said, "What are you talking about? Apart from being a little skilled, I have no special talents or education. What can I do? But—" he changed his tone and said jokingly, "If you could give me a CEO position, maybe I would consider it."

Unexpectedly, Tang Guoqiang replied to him in a serious tone: "As long as you come, what's wrong with giving you the position of president!"

"Forehead?"

Chao Bufan was clearly taken aback, then chuckled and said, "Chief of Staff Tang is really joking. I was just making a joke, don't take it seriously."

Tang Guoqiang stood up from the sofa and said to Mountain Eagle and the others in a serious tone, "I want to talk to Falcon alone. You three can go out for a bit!"

Upon hearing this, Shan Ying and the others quickly saluted in unison: "Yes, Chief of Staff Tang."

After Mountain Eagle and the other two left, Tang Guoqiang pondered for a moment, then asked with a serious expression, "Falcon, do you know who these people are who kidnapped you and Qianqian?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled and said with a relaxed expression, "I know a little bit. There's a guy named Tang Guorong who claims to be your brother."

"Oh, my brother."

Tang Guoqiang gave a bitter laugh, his words filled with sorrow and helplessness, and then said, "Tang Guorong is indeed my younger brother, and he is my own brother. Back then, he was sentenced to prison after I caught him selling state military secrets to the United States."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan frowned slightly. It seemed that this was completely different from what Tang Guorong had said. One said he was framed by his brother, while the other said he was imprisoned for smuggling state military secrets. Which of these two brothers was telling the truth? However, Chao Bufan still mustered up his courage and asked, "Chief of Staff Tang, what you just said seems to be completely different from what Tang Guorong said. He said he was imprisoned because you framed him."

"slander?"

Tang Guoqiang sneered, then said slowly, "I started serving in the army when I was eighteen, and it has been forty years now. At that time, I caught him stealing state military secrets, so I handed him over to the military court. Because he is my own brother, I could not tolerate him, so I put justice before family and told the judge to sentence him to life imprisonment."

Judging from Tang Guoqiang's military rank, Chao Bufan guessed a bit about it and realized that Tang Guorong's words were not very credible.

“Not long ago,” Tang Guoqiang continued, “in a certain serious prison in a certain region, with the assistance of an American spy named Mike, Tang Guorong and twelve inmates injured prison guards and escaped together. The police tracked them all the way here, only to discover that Tang Guorong had met with a top-level American agent who had been infiltrating HX for three years. So the police concluded that something was bound to happen next, and that's why they didn't act immediately to avoid alerting the enemy. Who knew these people would use my daughter to blackmail me, wanting me to exchange something for them? They really don't know what's good for them. Lie… Chao Bufan, do you know what they want from me?”

Chao Bufan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know and wasn't interested.
