Chapter 1168: Married Couple
Lu Xingzhi did not go home for lunch in the end because he was informed at the last minute that he had to go to the city for a meeting with Colonel Lin and Zhou Junmin. The three of them were there until very late at night before they went home.
Lu Xingzhi’s face was livid when he returned, but Colonel Lin and Zhou Junmin laughed the entire way.
When Jiang Yao opened the door for the three of them, she could feel the pressure around Lu Xingzhi. However, Colonel Lin and Zhou Junmin had been holding back their laughter. She asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you have that expression?”
“Hey, Jiang Yao, you haven’t heard. It is a small world, indeed.” As soon as Colonel Lin opened his mouth, Lu Xingzhi, who was in front, threw a knife at him.
Other people would be afraid of Lu Xingzhi, but Colonel Lin, who had been friends with Lu Xingzhi for so long, did not fear him. He said, “The three of us are going on a mission together, and we have our own arrangements. What a coincidence! The partner a.s.signed to Lu Xingzhi is Chen Feitang. The two of them will have to pretend to be husband and wife!”
When Colonel Lin saw that report during the meeting, he immediately burst out in laughter. Lu Xingzhi had turned hostile on the spot and rejected that partner. He requested a change of partner.
The other party was perplexed when they saw Lu Xingzhi’s look as though he wanted to kill him. He had made that arrangement because Lu Xingzhi and Chen Feitang had returned from a perfect mission together. He had no idea why Lu Xingzhi was so upset about his partner.
Colonel Lin could only say that the person who made the arrangements was entirely innocent. After all, the other party was not a member of the army, so he did not know about the connection between Lu Xingzhi and Chen Feitang.
Colonel Lin’s name had been added to the mission. He was older than Lu Xingzhi and Zhou Junmin, so Colonel Lin and his partner would pretend to be siblings.
Lu Xingzhi and his partner had to act like husband and wife, while Zhou Junmin would act alone.
Zhou Junmin also cried out in pain. He had been looking forward to a beautiful female partner for several days, but in the end, he had to suffer alone.
After Colonel Lin finished speaking, Lu Xingzhi’s face darkened, and Jiang Yao’s face was even more expressionless.
“Take your things and get out of here.” Lu Xingzhi went back to the bedroom, took out a bunch of keys, threw them at Zhou Junmin and Colonel Lin, and began to chase them away. “Don’t mess around in front of my wife.”
Colonel Lin chuckled and waved the keys in his hand as he pulled Zhou Junmin away. Only then did Lu Xingzhi slam the door shut and pull Jiang Yao back to the bedroom.
“You have to pretend to be married to Chen Feitang?” Jiang Yao was furious. “You can go undercover with anyone; why must it be Chen Feitang? Does she want to cause trouble behind my back again?”
Of course, Jiang Yao was angry. Chen Feitang had gawked at her husband for a very long time. A while ago, she even caused trouble behind her back and disgusted her.
“When I was traveling in Jindo City, I heard Chen Xuyao say that her fiance broke off their engagement and asked to be transferred out of Jindo City’s military to the border guards.” That was what Chen Xuyao had told her. The man had canceled the engagement because he knew what Chen Feitang had done to Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi. The man would rather offend the Chen family than marry their daughter. So, he left Jindo City without another word to the Chen family.
When Jiang Yao heard that news, she wanted to applaud that man. That man seemed wise. He probably knew that Chen Feitang’s personality would only bring him trouble.
