Han Xuan looked over and took in a breath of cold air. The Flaming Forces were already together for ten years now, and Zhou Yao had a fiery temper. Although he did not hold back normally, every time they went over to the battlefield involving life or death, Zhou Yao’s key principle was that they could not lack a single one, and these were his brothers that would live and die together with him.
He saw these soldiers as his brothers, and these soldiers saw him as their leader. The Flaming Forces soldiers had an extremely tight bond with one another, and nobody was able to break and ruin them in the past ten years.
But what was he doing right now?
Not only did he strike Ah Dong, but he was also planning to chase Ah Dong out?
Those soldiers wanted to speak, but as they saw Zhou Yao’s cold and firm expression on his face, they hesitated.
“Older Brother Zhou…” Han Xuan stretched her hand out to tug his sleeve.
Zhou Yao was unaffected. He looked over at Ah Dong. Although his gaze was gentle, it was extremely ice-cold as he said, “You are going to beg her? I think you better not go and dirty her eyes!”
“Major General…”
“Get lost!”
He was so cruel, and there was no room for negotiation at all. Ah Dong was sobbing painfully. He still wanted to beg, but the other soldiers patted his shoulders and pulled him out.
The camp became silent immediately.
Xiao Zhi bent over to pick up all the shattered glass pieces on the ground before he poured a glass of warm water and handed it over to Zhou Yao. “Major General, Older Sister-in-law stabbed Big Mastermind, who was working under Scorpion. She was quick and accurate. Scorpion is probably feeling the pain of his hand being chopped off.”
Zhou Yao lowered his gaze to drink a mouthful of water. He slowly curled up the corners of his thin lips as he said, “She just doesn’t know the dangers out in the world. Thankfully it was Big Mastermind this time. If it had been Scorpion, how would she have escaped safely?”
Han Xuan looked at the man beside her. Although she could only see half of his handsome face, all of his cold, sharp features were gentle now. Although his tone seemed to be stern, it was still a little pampering.
Han Xuan’s entire heart turned cold. She’d known him for the past ten years. She’d never seen him look any woman in the eye before, but in the short span of a month, he cared about Leng Zhiyuan so much.
“Did she come over to visit me when she left?” Zhou Yao asked.
Xiao Zhi laughed awkwardly. “Haha, no… Older Sister-in-law was probably too busy…”
“Nonsense!” Zhou You threw the empty water glass into Xiao Zhi’s embrace, and he softly cursed out, “Little hooligan!”
These words seemed to be the love language between lovers, and it made Han Xuan’s face turn pale. Her small hands that she drooped by her sides were secretly clenched up into fists.
“Major General, the matters here can be considered to be successfully resolved now. When are we going back?”
“Go back?” The corners of Zhou Yao’s lips were curled up in a cold arc. He had a look at the sky outside. There were still a few hours until sunrise, and he said, “Bring my orders down. Before the sun rises, the entire base camp will activate the highest level of security.”
Xiao Zhi froze and said, “Major General, you mean?”
“Hah, I have battled with Scorpion countless times in the past ten years. Scorpion is an extremely weird person. His failure combined with Big Mastermind’s death, do you think he would be able to cope with this anger? He will definitely come over to attack us.”
“Yes, Major General!” Xiao Zhi saluted him before he walked out.
…
Xiao Zhi left, and Zhou Yao got up from the bed. Han Xuan stretched her hand out quickly to support him as she said, “Older Brother Zhou, I will help you.”
“There is no need.” Zhou Yao took his hand back and calmly said, “Xuan Xuan, you have already been exposed entirely now. You cannot go over to Scorpion’s side. I will help you to arrange for a brand new identity, and in the future, you can just become a normal person again.”
“Okay, I will listen to Older Brother Zhou.” As Han Xuan spoke, she tried to probe, “Ah Dong…”
She still wanted to beg for mercy.
Zhou Yao turned around and looked at Han Xuan in the eye as he said, “Ah Dong seems to like you…”
Han Xuan froze before she quickly shook her head and tried to explain. “Older Brother Zhou, don’t misunderstand. I am only friends with Ah Dong; we are innocent…”
“Xuan Xuan.” Zhou Yao interrupted her and said, “You are already 25 years old now. You should think about marriage. Ah Dong really likes you. If you also have feelings for him, I will help you to arrange for matters between you in the future…”
Han Xuan’s face was pale. She widened her eyes as she looked over at Zhou Yao. Was he trying to match her with Ah Dong?
“Older Brother Zhou, I do not like Ah Dong. Don’t bring this up again!” Han Xuan rejected him immediately.
Zhou Yao had a look at her face before he nodded his head, and he parted his long legs as he was about to head out the main doors.
“Older Brother Zhou.” Han Xuan called him quickly.
“What is the matter?” Zhou Yao turned his head back.
“Older Brother Zhou, you…got married? You got married…so suddenly. I did not…get any news at all. You…” Han Xuan did not know how to express herself.
At this moment, Zhou Yao simply explained, “I got married one month ago. Leng Zhiyuan, my wife.”
He parted his legs and walked out.
…
Leng Zhiyuan wanted to go back to Hong Kong, but the wound on her chest was too serious. She could not board the plane, so she did not have any other choice. She returned to the Zhou home again and planned to recuperate for a few days before she went back.
Inside the room, she took a shower before she put a nightgown. She stood before the sink. She pulled the nightgown down from her right shoulder, and she had a frown on her face as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.
There was a deep cut beneath her collarbones. The wound went all the way over to her right chest, and it looked extremely frightening.
She opened the small first aid box and used the pincer to take the ball soaked in alcohol to clean the wound, then she applied medication. It seemed that she could not wear any tight clothing for the next few days.
There was a layer of cold sweat on her forehead. She used clean water to wash her face. Knock, knock! Suddenly, the sound of someone knocking on the door rang out in the air, and the person said, “Young Mistress, there is a guest here.”
Guest?
Leng Zhiyuan opened the door, and two figures walked over in the corridor. It was Master Zhou and…her older brother, Leng Mu.
They were chatting with one another happily. Upon seeing her, Master Zhou was warm as he said, “Zhiyuan, your older brother came over to visit you.”
“Zhiyuan.” Leng Hao looked at his younger sister as he spoke.
Leng Zhiyuan did not expect Leng Hao to come over, and she said, “Older Brother, why are you here?”
At this moment, Madam Zhou brought the helpers along as she walked over and said, “Zhiyuan, your older brother came over to be a guest. How can you ask your older brother to speak outside the door? Quick, let’s go inside, I have already ordered someone to prepare some snacks and fruit. I am also not sure what Older Brother likes.”
Four of them walked into the room. Leng Hao nodded his head politely and said, “Uncle, Aunty, thank you for hosting me.”
“Why are you being so courteous? We are family, Zhiyuan. You can chat with your older brother. We will not disturb you anymore. If there is anything, just call for us.” Both of Zhou Yao’s parents were benevolent as they walked out.
There were only the two of them left inside the room. Leng Hao sat down on the sofa. He had a look around his surroundings and nodded his head, feeling satisfied. “Zhiyuan, it seems that you are living well here.”
Leng Zhiyuan sat down opposite him. She peeled an orange and handed it over as she said, “Older Brother, why are you here? Did you…get some news about the person that you are looking for?”
“I still have yet to get accurate news. The CCTVs in the hotel that night did not capture her face. Father said that you helped me out on a mission, and I came over to visit you at the same time to see if you are leading a good life here.”
Didn’t capture her face?
Then how did that woman get into Older Brother’s room?
Did she climb in through the window?
Leng Zhiyuan really could not imagine how daring a woman was to be climbing through the windows to sleep with a person. Furthermore…she even slept with the wrong person. Forget it even if it was the wrong person, she even left a Hong Kong thousand dollar bill…behind for the trouble?
