Chapter 98: Promotion in the open, Demotion in the dark



Mu Qiao stood in a military posture with a serious face.

"After discussion with our superiors, Lieutenant Colonel Mu Qiao is transferred to the Special Service Team as the team leader, with a rank of full colonel."

This is an arrangement that is a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality, with the person retreating to the second line.

If it were in the past, Mu Qiao would definitely be furious, but at this moment, she was very quiet.

Seeing Mu Qiao's quiet appearance, Lu Feng sighed secretly in his heart, "How could a good frontline soldier..."

Lu Feng felt aggrieved for Mu Qiao, but no matter how much he talked, the military leaders still maintained this decision.

"Mr. Lu, I will report to the special service team." Mu Qiao obediently saluted with a standard military salute and left Lu Feng's office dejectedly.

The news that Mu Qiao was transferred to the special service team as team leader was instantly spread throughout the entire Fourth Battalion by Li Song.

The commander and deputy commander of the fourth battalion gathered together to speak up for Mu Qiao.

...

...

"Mr. Mu must have been unlucky this year, which is why he has been so unlucky." Zhang Hao was the first one to feel unfair for Mu Qiao.

Yang Jing gritted her teeth and cried out, "I've seen Master Mu's abilities. He's a true warrior. It's a waste of his talent to be relegated to the second line."

Zhang Meng sighed, "Deputy Captain Qiao may not know about this transfer order. He is still on a mission. When he comes back, I am sure that Deputy Captain Qiao will fight for it for Master Mu."

Li Song glanced at everyone, looking like a sober person among the rest, and laughed, "You are narrow-minded, aren't you? Although Master Mu has been promoted in name only and demoted in reality, she is already the eldest grandson's wife of the Qiao family, and an excellent warrior among our Snow Wolf. Old Qiao will not watch her be buried like this."

After hearing what Li Song said, several battalion commanders immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Qiancheng heard the conversation between the battalion commanders from a distance. He did not interrupt them, but went straight back to the battalion office and entered Mu Qiao's office.

Mu Qiao was packing her things as she would be moving to the special forces unit in the afternoon.

The Snow Wolf's special forces team has a dedicated office area in the outer camp, which is separated from the camp by three gates.

When Meng Qiancheng saw Mu Qiao quietly packing his things without any hurry, he became furious.

"Master Mu, where is your macho character? Did you lose it all after getting married? Are you planning to work as an office worker and pretend to be a lady?"

Meng Qiancheng was not afraid of offending Mu Qiao, he just wanted to scold her to wake her up. It was just that he was caught again during the mission, what was the big deal? It was an ability that he was not dead.

Mu Qiao said nothing and continued to clean up silently.

If it were in the past, Mu Qiao would have argued for herself, but now, she is the daughter-in-law of Qiao Men, and she has committed the fault of negligence and killed Mu Lan. She cannot forgive herself, so how can she have the confidence to seek justice in front of the leader?

In Meng Qiancheng's opinion, none of this was Mu Qiao's fault. "You don't need to embarrass yourself because of those external factors. You are an excellent Snow Wolf warrior and you cannot retreat to the second line."

Mu Qiao put down the storage box in his hand, looked at Meng Qiancheng, asked him to sit on the sofa, and explained to him calmly.

"Boss Meng, thank you for caring about my feelings and standing up for me. However, I did not complete this mission well, and it also caused my sister's tragic death. I blame myself and feel guilty. Perhaps, if I leave the front line, I can calm down and think carefully about what to do next and how to do it best."

Mu Qiao's impulsiveness disappeared, and Meng Qiancheng was very sad, but everything she said made sense. Perhaps, Mu Qiao should calm down.

"Have you really decided?" Meng Qiancheng didn't want Mu Qiao to regret not fighting for it today.

"Yes!" Mu Qiao nodded sincerely and forced a smile, "I will be responsible for my decision, don't worry!"

Meng Qiancheng nodded helplessly, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of herbal tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Actually, the special forces team is pretty good too." Meng Qiancheng said with relief, "As long as we are still in Snow Wolf, we still have a chance."

Mu Qiao agreed, "I like to hear that."

"Does Deputy Captain Qiao know about your promotion in public and demotion in secret?" Meng Qiancheng asked this deliberately, meaning whether Deputy Captain Qiao had revealed it before?

Mu Qiao shook his head, "He may not know. He didn't even say hello to me when he went on the mission."

Inexplicably, Mu Qiao was a little worried that Qiao Lu would become white. He didn't know if it was because of the marriage, or if she had some inappropriate feelings in her heart?

Meng Qiancheng saw through Mu Qiao's thoughts and quickly said, "Deputy Captain Qiao only brought Yin Yu and Su Qing's team with him on this mission, so it shouldn't be too dangerous."

"Let's hope so!" Snow Wolf's mission was bound to be dangerous. Mu Qiao didn't want to dwell on it, so he stood up and continued to pack his things.

"I'll help you." Meng Qiancheng stood up.

As soon as Mu Qiao arrived at the special service team, he received the task of recruiting new members.

This recruitment is open to the entire military region. Any soldier engaged in fire safety will have the opportunity to participate. The medical team has relatively strict requirements. Nurses must be at the second lieutenant level, not to mention the professional skills. They are required to stop bleeding and bandage ten lightly injured people within three minutes, and complete disinfection and hemostasis for five seriously injured people within five minutes.

Because Mu Qing was going to participate in the medical team selection, Mu Qiao took a closer look at the selection requirements for the medical team and secretly worried about Mu Qing.

Mu Qing had just joined the joint defense camp and although he had been promoted to second lieutenant, he was certainly not as skilled as the medical staff with many years of experience.

However, it's also good for Mu Qing to participate in the competition. At least it can broaden her horizons and lay a foundation for the future.

When looking through Mu Qing's list, Mu Qiao accidentally saw Qiao Tianyue's name.

She thought she was seeing things, so she turned back to check again, and it was indeed him.

Qiao Tianyue is a rising star in the local firefighting system with top-notch professional skills. How come he came to the Snow Wolf Special Service Team?

Does his elder brother know about this?

A name that surprised Mu Qiao even more also appeared in the special forces recruitment.

"Qiao Qiqi!" Why is this little girl here? Didn't she say she wanted to be a pilot? Why is she here to select special forces members?

Is there some inside story that her, the sister-in-law, doesn't know?

With these doubts in mind, Mu Qiao returned to the family building. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Qiao Lubai's guard ran over and saluted Mu Qiao. "Sister-in-law, according to Deputy Captain Qiao's instructions, all your belongings have been moved to Deputy Captain Qiao's house. Here are the keys."

The guard handed the key to Mu Qiao.

"Thank you!" Mu Qiao took the key in return, feeling quite embarrassed. He thought he could live separately from Qiao Lubai after returning to Snow Wolf, but he didn't expect that Qiao Lubai had already arranged everything.

Pushing the door open and entering Qiao Lubai's house, Mu Qiao stood in the living room, not knowing what to do.

As he had just arrived and the owner of the house was not at home, Mu Qiao felt very restrained.

Looking at her luggage placed in the living room, Mu Qiao thought of packing up her own things first, as they had been piled up in the living room and affected the appearance.

She looked at the master bedroom and the side bedroom, feeling a little conflicted, not knowing which room to enter.

The relationship between her and Qiao Lubai is very awkward now, so she should just sleep on her side.

Mu Qiao dragged the suitcase into the side bedroom, placed his clothes in the empty closet, took out the sheets and quilt covers to make the bed, took out the red medicine bottle, held it in his palm, stood by the window, and pondered.
