The next morning as the day was nearing noon, Huo Chen was shocked awake by the rolling door knocking. He rubbed his forehead in dismay and leaned against the bed, his blanket slid off his slightly trimmed pecs and abs as his bulge rose and sunk tumultuously in confusion. Wondering how long he had fallen asleep, it was the blazing sunlight through the window that surprised him.
Itâs noon already?
âWen He?â He looked around. The door-knocking continued haunting him in the background as he remained bewildered in his world. Wen He was nowhere to be found.
It canât be.
Huo Chen did not believe that Wen He had woken up before him.
If she did wake up before me, I would have sensed it. Iâm a trained soldier that had served the military for years. I should hear something.
Yes, Wen He is also a trained spy who probably could sneak her way out but today is such an important day that I should have felt something when she left.
WellâunlessâunlessâI felt so sleepy suddenly and I...
Huo Chen could not believe the speculation he had in mind.
âHuo Chen!â The door was slammed instead with Yang Yiâs voice ringing sternly.
âOpen the door, Huo Chen. Itâs time to keep your words with me.â
Huo Chen should have known it! Huo Chen knew what Wen He did to him. He left his bed and picked up his trousers before getting the door.
Yang Yi was there, standing straight and still. He tilted his head and peeked into Huo Chenâs room that seemingly was raided by a beast last night. He coughed awkwardly and said with a straight face, âYou have one minute to tidy yourself.â
âNo need,â Huo Chen stared at Yang Yi, âWhereâs Wen He?â His eyes penetrated Yang Yi like a devilâs judgment, a tiger viewing its victim, was actually capable to make Yang Yi, his superior, avoid eye-contact.
âHavenât you guessed it?â
Huo Chen clenched his fist, âDonât tell me that this is part of your plan too!â
âOf course not,â Yang Yi denied, âI had only met Wen He once before just to brief her the current situation. I never forced her into a certain decision. Itâs all up to her. For your case, you were the one who proposed the deal. You were the one who wanted to gamble to see if you could convince Wen He to stay with you. If yes, I would no longer interfere, else...ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His eyes squinted, âYOU GOT TO WORK WITH MY PLAN to GET RID OF HER!â
