Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 889: Righteous and Stern Words

"Putting everything else aside, just take yesterday’s incident as an example. As soon as he heard his wife was in trouble, he took our whole team out, and despite the ocean waves, he wanted to jump in. What if something happened?"

"Later, I finally talked him out of it." Chen Ming paused here, glancing at the chief of staff’s expression, seeing some displeasure, thought he might be angry with Mu Qiancheng, and felt a bit smug. Then he continued, "Later, we switched to a speedboat to go out to sea and found Jiang Xue with a life buoy. But then, a group of sharks surrounded us."

"Those were sharks, such fierce creatures. Even if we had over a dozen people, it wouldn’t be enough to feed those sharks.

Moreover, those sharks not only eat people but even ships. Logically, we should have retreated at that time, but Mu Qiancheng insisted we rescue Jiang Xue."

"Isn’t he sending us all to our deaths? To prevent him from making a mistake, and for everyone’s safety, I refused."

"So, you let Mu Qiancheng jump into the sea alone?" The leader asked indifferently, already quite angry with Chen Ming.

Before, he thought Chen Ming had merely made a small mistake and found his actions understandable. But now, he suddenly realized that Chen Ming had a fundamental problem and was even snitching, smearing Mu Qiancheng.

With such a mindset, it’s not to be condoned.

"It wasn’t me, he jumped into the sea himself. He wanted to save Jiang Xue, so he abandoned us. To him, Jiang Xue was the most important." Chen Ming defended. It was clearly because they were unwilling to save Jiang Xue and wanted to turn around, which forced Mu Qiancheng to jump down.

But he twisted the facts, which was truly infuriating. Fortunately, Mu Qiancheng wasn’t here, or he surely would have confronted him.

The leader’s face darkened, and he looked seriously at Chen Ming, saying, "Chen Ming, I’m officially notifying you now; from today, you’re reassigned from Sharp Blade. Here is your transfer order, take it!"

Chen Ming froze, looking at the transfer order in the leader’s hand, unable to react for a long time.

"Why, Leader?" After a while, he finally asked. He had just explained it was Mu Qiancheng’s problem, so why was he being transferred from Sharp Blade?

"Why?" The leader’s expression was grim, glaring sharply at him, "Chen Ming, what do you take Sharp Blade for?"

"I, I..." Chen Ming couldn’t find the words, his face turning pale. He had thought before that Mu Qiancheng wanted him gone purely out of personal motive, but now he realized it was the higher-up’s decision.

Why him, why not Mu Qiancheng? After all, he had contributed much more to Sharp Blade than Mu Qiancheng.

It’s unjust, and he’s indignant.

Thinking this, Chen Ming didn’t reach for the transfer order but instead said to the leader, "Leader, I’m not convinced."

"You’re an officer, yet you can’t even obey orders. Do you deserve to be an officer?" The leader grew increasingly disappointed in Chen Ming; he had been a veteran employee for so many years, yet he couldn’t even do this.

"I..." Chen Ming couldn’t speak, and under the leader’s stern gaze, he eventually took the transfer order.

Holding the transfer order, Chen Ming left the leader’s office despondently and headed toward the Sharp Blade training ground.
