Wen He sniffled and understood that this was not the place to chat. She shrunk back and stood behind Huo Chen.

Yang Yi sneered seeing this.

“Are you sure that you want to go against me for this disreputable wench?”

Wen He’s heart skipped a beat.

She was afraid that Yang Yi would expose her real identity, and if that happens, not only she would be dead, Huo Chen would be dragged into the water as well.

She silently tugged the edge of his shirt, and muttered. “Don’t bother about me.”

His appearance here meant that he was probably not using her like Yang Yi had alleged before and that burden in her heart had disappeared. She was much relieved compared to before.

As for her being apprehended, she was not that upset now.

Huo Chen straight up ignored her actions. His face was confident and compared to the Yang Yi’s darkened face, he was like a bystander and spoke candidly. “Commander, I’m here just to tell you good news.”

“Oh?”

Yang Yi clearly did not trust him and his cold eyes coiled around Huo Chen and Wen He like a viper. An obvious message was contained in that gaze.

If Huo Chen cannot give him a satisfactory reason today, he would not let him off!

Huo Chen was a threat to him and for someone so young to be a Major General, he could replace him at any time. He had meant to remove this threat sooner than later!

“Lu Bai had agreed to our offer of amnesty.”

With just these few words, he dropped the bombshell. Not only that astonished Wen He, it also immediately calmed Yang Yi’s anger.

“What?” He was surprised and elated at the same time. “You mean that?”

“Yes.”

Huo Chen simply went on at his pace, “Not sure if that’s good news in your view?”

“Of course it is.” And with that, Yang Yi’s expression brightened as he walked over, patting Huo Chen on the shoulder, “Good job!”

Huo Chen faintly smiled but it was a shallow one. “Since Lu Bai had decided to cooperate, Wen He’s slate is also wiped clean then?”

Before Yang Yi could speak, he continued, “Lu Bai and Wen He are close, and if we promised him that, and turn on her later, he would simply go back on his words.”

“Sure.”

Yang Yi demurred for a moment before nodding.

“Thank you, commander.”

“I’ll meet Lu Bai right now.” Yang Yi said as he prepared to leave but was stopped by Huo Chen, “Lu Bai still has yet to wake up.”

“Next time then.”

Yang Yi was not disappointed and nodded. His expression darkened before something struck him again. His venomous gaze swept across Huo Chen’s face. His tone became even more threatening and menacing than before.

“If Lu Bai has yet to wake up, how did he agreed to our offer of amnesty! Explain yourself!”

Wen He gritted her teeth.

That stupid man, he don’t even know how to lie.

Yet Huo Chen was unusually calm and his lips moved a little as he spat out a word.

“Telepathy.”

“...”

Wen He almost spat out.

Can he actually find a more convincing excuse?

Even a three year old would not have believed that!

And as expected, Yang Yi blew his fuse, and roared. “Huo Chen, do I look like an idiot to you?”

Yes, you do!

Wen He wanted to nod but dared not to.

“Commander, as a military man, I need to be responsible for every single word I say.”

Huo Chen simply looked back at Yang Yi. “I’m vouching this on my rank and good name. If I say it I mean it, if that does not happen, you don’t need to do anything, I will immediately resign, and hand myself over for court martial!”
