Chapter 178

“Colonel He, I believe we can talk this out. There’s no need to come to a sticky end, right?”  Seeing that the situation was not right, Senior Colonel Du immediately put his pride down. That was understandable because He Jingyan was not just saying that verbally: he would definitely do it. Of course, Senior Colonel Du was terrified.

“Yes, that’s right! Our top priority is to maintain the friendly relationship of our alliance!” The interpreter also flattered him, they were just two brown-nosers!

He Jingyan just sneered, but neither did he look at them nor answered their questions. Instead, he glanced at the soldiers coldly and asked, “Who handed him the gun?”

He said that calmly, as if he had no intention of blaming that person, but such a simple sentence was enough to terrify the soldiers.

Wei Wei, who handed Xu Yangyi the gun, of course, was scared out of his wits. But if he didn’t admit it and waited for He Jingyan to find that out, he would face an even more miserable death. With his trembling legs, he was terrified and reported, “Colonel He, I… I did.”

After saying that, Wei Wei’s heart was beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. His face gradually turned pale.

At this time, Nan Xiao also gave him a warning look, as if he was saying, “You know the consequences if you ever dare to rat on me.”

Wei Wei was even more frightened, because if his identity was exposed, he didn’t know if he could keep the secret under He Jingyan’s torture.

‘Judging from the coward look on his face, is he afraid of being questioned by He Jingyan? Looks like I shouldn’t keep him alive any longer. I’ll need to kill him before He Jingyan gets any information from him, Otherwise the next one who dies would be me.’

Even though Nan Xiao didn’t know for sure if Wei Wei would be spotted by He Jingyan, he had already made up his mind to kill him. He was just a heartless selfish monster!

But Wei Wei didn’t know what Nan Xiao was thinking. He was just praying that He Jingyan would not find out his identity and hoping that Nan Xiao would not leave him here.

He Jingyan looked at Wei Wei, whose head was lowered tightly and did not dare to breathe, and asked without emotions in his voice, “Didn’t you know that this was Senior Colonel Du’s dog?”

“I… I know, but at that time, the hound suddenly went crazy. I was afraid that it might hurt Mrs. He, so I handed him my gun.” Wei Wei just repeated the lines on the script that Nan Xiao had given him before, and his anxiety increased.

“Does that mean I have to thank you for saving Yangyi?” There seemed to be hidden meanings in his words, as he glanced at Wei Wei’s coldly.

Hearing that, Wei Wei didn’t dare to answer! He could only say hurriedly, “It’s all my fault. Please punish me.”

Wei Wei could only take the initiative to ask for a punishment because he didn’t know what He Jingyan’ s implication was.

‘What… what should I do? Did Colonel He find out something?’

Wei Wei was so scared that he seemed to be about to have a heart attack. He immediately turned his eyes to Nan Xiao for help, but Nan Xiao ignored him directly since he was a useless tool, which made Wei Wei’s heart sink.

‘Even though I didn’t actually accomplish your whole mission, I still did a hell lot of dirty work for you. Nan Xiao, how could you do this to me? Even just a word from you might save my life!, After all, you are He Jingyan’s second lieutenant!’

Wei Wei was regretful and resentful about how cruel Nan Xiao was, but he knew he would die even worse if he sold Nan Xiao out to He Jingyan. He could only use that as his Ace card. Therefore, he held back his anger and chose to remain silent.
