Chapter 169 - Commander Huo, Let Me Off!

She could only contain such thoughts to herself.

Gu Qingjiu didn’t have the guts to retort his words.

At that moment, He Niancheng drove with a stern look on his face.

The dim lights in the car illuminated his side view, making him appear gentle.

His cold yet handsome look was enchanting.

Even the surroundings made the atmosphere seem a little dull and odd.

Just before Gu Qingjiu was about to ask him about the items that they were going to collect, she heard a voice.

Huo Yingcheng, who had passed out drunk in the back seat, suddenly yelled, “Oh! Where am I?”

At the same time, he furiously sat up straight.

It made Gu Qingjiu jump in shock.

On the other hand, He Niancheng didn’t flinch nor made any sound.

Gu Qingjiu looked behind and amidst the darkness, she could only see Huo Yingcheng’s silhouette and his bright, glinting eyes. He was sitting upright.

She couldn’t tell if he had really been drunk.

Gu Qingjiu asked, “Commander Huo?”

“Qing... Qingjiu?”

Once he spoke, it was all clear to her.

He spoke with a distinct lisp, and his words were all jumbled up. Yet, it was surprising that he could still recognize her from her voice.

Gu Qingjiu stifled a laugh and replied quietly, “Yes, Commander Huo, I am Gu Qingjiu.”

“Yes, yes...”

Commander Huo’s voice sounded unstable as he suddenly glanced around his surroundings. As he moved, Gu Qingjiu could see the confusion on his face.

“Where... Where’s Commander He?”

In his drunken stupor, he fumbled over his words.

Gu Qingjiu glanced at He Niancheng and pointed at him. “Commander Huo, isn’t the Chief Instructor here?”

Huo Yingcheng narrowed his eyes and looked dazedly at the space in between the driver and passenger seat. Without inspecting further, he waved his hand and answered, “Stop lying... He Niancheng... Why would he chauffeur me around? Qingjiu... Hey, I may be drunk but my vision is still clear... You! Stop trying to deceive me!”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

‘Commander Huo, please wake up. This is He Niancheng, whom you’re familiar with!’

Despite not showing much reactions, the expression on He Niancheng’s face was glum. Through the mirror, he glanced at Huo Yingcheng with a sharp, piercing gaze.

Huo Yingcheng subconsciously shuddered, but he still couldn’t understand what had happened. Grabbing Gu Qingjiu’s seat, he showed no restraint and yelled and thrashed around.

“Haha. Qingjiu! I’ve been tolerating him for a long time! He’s a clean freak and has OCD! In your language, that would mean he’s troublesome and fussy! After experiencing some troubles. He was deported, but he started to look for you instead! We’re all at his mercy... Hehe. Qingjiu, we’re all depending on you in the future!”

“...”

Commander Huo must have been really drunk!

He was clearly incredibly drunk, seeing how he dared to even bad-mouth He Niancheng.

Gu Qingjiu quietly prayed that Huo Yingcheng would be fine when his mind cleared up.

She held herself back and didn’t dare to say anything in response. Yet, Huo Yingcheng didn’t let her off.

“Qing... Qingjiu... Frankly speaking, you don’t like him either, do you? A person like him can only rely on his looks! There’s nothing special about him! Qingjiu, don’t you agree?”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

‘Commander Huo, just let me off!’
