Chapter 589: Both Shocked and Joyful
Of course, he didn’t tell everyone about Jiang Xue’s space capabilities, just said that they were lucky to have survived by chance.
The elders still felt deeply alarmed upon hearing this. Fortunately, Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue returned safely, which was a relief.
As for what happens next, it’s out of their control anyway. Ideally, they would kill the Water Monster, otherwise leaving it there would always be frightening, and probably no one would dare to visit the forest park anymore.
They ate dinner late, and since it wasn’t homemade, everyone just ate a bit before going back to rest. The elders had been on edge all morning and felt exhausted once they relaxed.
Once the elders left, Mu Qiancheng drove back to the military unit.
Upon returning, Mu Qiancheng reported the discovery of the Water Monster in the forest park to his superiors.
Thankfully, the police officers who went to rescue them and the park staff had also reported the incident, receiving high attention from the government, which was planning to team up with the military to eliminate the Water Monster.
When Chief Liu learned that Mu Qiancheng had fought the Water Monster in the water and remembered his dismissal by Commander Lu, he decided to assign this task to him.
If he could successfully kill the Water Monster, it would be a significant achievement, making reinstatement much easier.
Actually, if it weren’t for Mu Qiancheng’s reluctance, Chief Liu would have already stepped in to bring him back, and reveal his identity, preventing Commander Lu from causing trouble.
Frankly, he had some criticism over Commander Lu’s conduct. However, since the latter’s rank and position were higher, it wasn’t appropriate to say much.
This time, Commander Lu’s sanction of Mu Qiancheng could serve as a turning point. He had submitted the information Mu collected, along with his own, waiting for Commander Lu’s misfortune.
Mu Qiancheng originally approached Chief Liu with a tentative attitude to see if he could take on the mission. To his surprise, even before he spoke, Chief Liu gave him the task, which left him both surprised and delighted.
"Qiancheng, this mission is yours. Make sure you do it well and do it beautifully," Chief Liu instructed.
"Rest assured, Chief, I guarantee to complete the mission!" Mu Qiancheng saluted Chief Liu and then left the unit with the contact information from the government.
After leaving the unit, Mu Qiancheng immediately contacted the government people. Addressing the Water Monster issue needs urgency.
Although, after the Water Monster was discovered, the park promptly posted notices, advising tourists against going near the lake to prevent accidents.
However, people are like this; the more you don’t want them to do something, the more they want to do it. That very afternoon, a tourist went to the lake to play, and even deliberately threw stones into the water to lure out the Water Monster.
The Water Monster, already infuriated by Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue’s escape, was now further provoked. Its anger made the consequences severe.
Suddenly, the lake surged, rushing violently towards the shore, startling the tourist. If he hadn’t run fast, he might have ended up in the Water Monster’s belly.
Surviving the ordeal, the tourist panted heavily, feeling immensely thankful. Fortunately, he ran quickly, or it would have been disastrous.
At this moment, the tourist regretted his actions deeply. He shouldn’t have ignored the warnings, nor should he have let curiosity get the better of him.
