âLu Xingzhi, donât you think you owe us an explanation?â Chen Feitangâs voice was icy. âEven though weâd act separately after we leave the train station, donât forget that even though we have our own duties, we are still a team. Each of us has a responsibility and a heavy burden to complete this mission. If you let your wife get involved and she becomes a burden to our team, can you bear the responsibility?â
âChen Feitang, what do you mean? Why would Jiang Yao become a burden? â Zhou Junmin was in a bad mood, or rather, he was in a bad mood toward Chen Feitang. Furthermore, he thought that Jiang Yao was formidable. âDonât forget, the burden that youâre talking about has saved Chen Feibai twice! Rememberâtwice!â
Zhou Junmin chuckled and continued to sneer at her. âThe army doesnât belong to Lu Xingzhi, or do you think heâs like your family who thinks they can just stuff a bunch of unscrupulous people in here?
âJiang Yao must have passed the armyâs assessment if sheâs here. Our leaders must have felt that she had the qualifications to stand here and competent enough to take on this mission. Thatâs why they recruited her to be on this mission.â
Zhou Junmin emphasized the word recruited. Jiang Yao was not an active soldier, so the army must have recruited her to participate in the mission.
Needless to say, the recruitâs identity sounded awesome when revealed.
Colonel Lin said, âJiang Yao had been assessed and approved to join this mission. With her ability, she would not become a burden to our team. Jiang Yao had been approved unanimously by the bureau chief and the Police Crime Squadâs chief, the highest-ranking person in charge of this case.â
Chen Feitangâs words did not hurt Jiang Yao. It was not as if she would become a useless person if other people said she was useless.
On the contrary, the more Chen Feitang looked down on her, the more she wanted to show off her achievements.
After Jiang Yao heard Zhou Junmin and Colonel Linâs words, Lu Xingzhi did not reach out to shake her hand. Instead, he was staring at her, but his expression was unclear, though it definitely did not look good.
The atmosphere was a little stiff. Jiang Yao snorted in a low voice and reached out to grab Lu Xingzhiâs hand to force him to shake her hand. Only then was she satisfied. Then, Lu Xingzhi suddenly moved; he grabbed her hand tightly before she could remove it.
âJiang Yao, go home.â That was the first thing Lu Xingzhi said. âTake it as an order from a superior to a subordinate or a request from a husband to his wife. In short, go home now.â
âThatâs more like it.â Chen Feitang scoffed when she heard Lu Xingzhiâs words. She did not even take half of what Zhou Junmin and Colonel Lin had said to heart.
Perhaps her rationality had been burned by jealousy or anger. Chen Feitang felt very uncomfortable when she saw Jiang Yao.
That woman had snatched the man she had loved for many years, causing that man to treat her with disdain and abandonment.
That woman had caused her to lose the support of so many people in the Chen familyâher elders no longer trusted her.
What right did Jiang Yao have to break into a territory that had belonged to her? How could she snatch the credit for that mission?
