Chapter 415 Antidote (2)_1
"Yes, our special operations team has successfully completed this mission. Now, we request to return."
"Oh, oh. Good, good. I will arrange for a military helicopter to pick you up immediately," the commander-in-chief said excitedly. He had originally thought that they would suffer heavy losses on this mission and that he, as the commander of the special forces, wouldn’t be able to escape punishment.
He had never expected that at this point, there would be such an unexpected turnaround.
"Alright, the special operations team has successfully completed the mission, so there’s no need to continue this meeting. That’s it for today’s meeting; you are dismissed." Saying this, the commander-in-chief left the meeting room with a smile, carrying his military cap and documents.
As for those who had argued against sending support, some of them turned pale at once, while others turned dark and kept muttering to themselves. The one whose face had gone pale was, in fact, a drug kingpin’s undercover agent in the special forces, and he was now terrified. He thought that if his boss had been captured, he definitely wouldn’t escape either.
The ones with darkened faces were those who had always been at odds with the Situ and the Loo Families. When they had heard that Situ Che’s mission was likely doomed to failure, they had taken some pleasure in that. They had been eager to see Situ Che and Loo Jie heroically sacrifice themselves during the mission, effectively cutting off the support for the Situ and Loo Families.
But clearly, their expectations had been dashed once again. So when they heard that the mission was completed successfully, they were far from pleased.
Another, whose face did not darken but was nonetheless not looking good, was the deputy commander of the special forces. Just yesterday, he had happily told his father at home that he was about to get a promotion and that the position of commander was definitely going to be his. But, unexpectedly, the situation had made a 360-degree turnaround.
