Chapter 518 Audacious

Xue Yifan's words hit the nail on the head, leaving Qian Wei with no face whatsoever.

Zhao Ershuai kept shaking his head at him, signaling him not to continue.

Although what he said was true, Qian Wei needed reassurance, not further provocation.

“Yes. I don’t deserve to be a soldier. Someone like me should get out of the army. If I had left earlier, I wouldn’t have implicated Hou Baoquan today…” Qian Wei’s voice trembled violently, filled with self-doubt.

Xue Yifan grabbed his collar and growled emotionally, "But the company commander has never given up on you!"

Qian Wei's breath hitched, and he stared at him in disbelief.

"Your marksmanship is the best in the 3rd Company! Not only the company commander, but everyone in the 3rd Company is pinning their hopes on you! Because they believe that as long as you are safe, the 3rd Company still has a chance to turn the tide!" Xue Yifan used all his strength so that he could hear clearly.

"Don't you understand? From the moment you stepped into the 3rd Company, you have been a member of the 3rd Company! Hou Baoquan was willing to sacrifice himself to protect you because he believed that you could take his place and defend the 3rd Company!"

By the end, Xue Yifan's eyes had reddened.

How envious they were of Qian Wei!

He simply didn't understand what he actually possessed.

Qian Wei's mind went blank; he couldn't even understand what Xue Yifan had said.

They believe him?!

Do you believe him, this good-for-nothing deserter who always wants to pack his bags and go home?

Why? ! ! !

Zhao Ershuai couldn't hold back any longer. "Qian Wei, it's true. Before the company commander led the team to break through, he specifically instructed us to protect your safety at all costs. You are the sharpshooter of the 3rd Company. As long as you are still here, it means that the 3rd Company has not failed."

Qian Wei felt dizzy and lost control of his body, staggering backward before finally collapsing to the ground.

Xue Yifan and Zhao Ershuai's words kept echoing in his ears.

The image of Hou Baoquan shielding him with his body without hesitation kept replaying in his mind.

They believe in him!

Trust him!!

An overwhelming emotion, too strong to be described, made him feel like he was about to explode.

The next second he burst into tears with a loud "waaaah!"

Xue Yifan and Zhao Ershuai were taken aback when he suddenly started crying so badly. They instinctively looked at Sun Heng, who was still sitting next to them.

Sun Heng shook his head, indicating that they didn't need to do anything more...

"Battalion Commander, we've found it! All the people who developed symptoms did so after eating breakfast. The military doctor has examined them and says their symptoms resemble poisoning."

"Then we immediately questioned the captured Red Army soldiers. At first they refused to say anything, but later, when some of them became seriously ill, they were afraid of causing deaths, so they finally confessed that they had infiltrated the cooking squad and poisoned the water used for cooking."

After listening to the company commander's report, Nie Haichao's face tightened even more.

How could they have poison?

There would never be such a thing on the battlefield.

"It was that guy named Qian Wei. He found a lot of poisonous mushrooms and other poisonous plants in the forest, mixed their juices together, and made poison." The company commander was clearly gritting his teeth as he said this.

How could such a despicable thing exist? It's utterly audacious!
