Chapter 724: So You’re Siding With Him Now EhTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yang Yi’s anger seemed to have subsided and looked at Huo Chen with a half-smile.
“This is what you have said.”
Huo Chen’s expression remained impa.s.sive as he simply nodded. “If Commander Yang doesn’t trust me, I can put it in writing.”
“No need for that.”
Yang Yi’s eyes glimmered. “I believe that you would not simply run your mouth, but I’ll make this clear, if you have to eat your own words, not only Lu Bai and Wen He will be indicted, even you will not escape court martial!”
“Understood.”
“Very well, I’ll be leaving then.”
As he was just about to leave, Yang Yi paused his footsteps and swept his gaze towards Wen He who was behind Huo Chen.
He could not help but to purse his lips upon seeing her clutching onto the edge of his s.h.i.+rt with her nervous eyes, and said. “Major General Huo, do not forget who you are, extricate yourself as soon as everything is done.”
Huo Chen did not seem to catch on to that hidden message and simply went into attention and saluted.
“See you around, commander.”
Yang Yi led his men out of the area and left Huo Chen and Wen He behind.
Before Wen He could say anything, Huo Chen spoke first, “Lets go look for Lu Bai.”
“Okay.”
Wen He swallowed whatever that she wanted to say back down her throat and followed him.
On the way, Wen He could not help but think of the matter with Huo Chen simply standing aside previously and gave him a conflicted look.
“Huo Chen, are you being silly? Even though you meant to save me, you should not tell a lie like this, I know Xiao Bai’s personality well enough and once he’s set on something no one can pull him back, he won’t accept your offer of amnesty!”
Huo Chen pretended that he did not hear that and simply strode forward.
Wen He sighed and mumbled. “Forget about it, while I’m not too willing to forsake my freedom for the country, but for you, I’ll try to talk to him.”
That said, it was not particularly hopeful.
Huo Chen finally turned to glance at Wen He as he heard that. He saw her pet.i.te face frowning and worry was clear in her eyes. His handsome brow softened a little and said plainly. “He will agree to this.”
Wen He shook his head. “You don’t understand.”
He did not understand how stubborn Xiao Bai could be.
After that, the two did not speak and arrived at the medical room five minutes later.
Fortuitously, Lu Bai had awoken then and saw Huo Chen and Wen He appearing side-by-side.
He was laying on the headboard, and raised his eye weakly.
“Xiao Bai!”
Wen He quickly walked to the bed and patted his head as if she was petting a pet. She said in surprised elation. “How are you faring?”
“Ugh….”
Lu Bai pushed her hand away and looked at Huo Chen. A sneer appeared at the edge of his mouth.
“Is Major General Huo here to interrogate me again?”
“No need for that anymore.”
Huo Chen pulled out a chair and sat on it as he looked at Lu Bai. Seeing that he was in good spirits, and his was not as pale as before, he continued, “I’m here to tell you good news. Your life is yours to keep and you don’t have to live on as a fugitive.”
Lu Bai was astonished and his brows furrowed soon after.
“What have you done?”
He did not believe that the army would so easily give him that Special S Order.
Huo Chen’s brow twitched. “That’s because you have accepted our offer of amnesty.”
“PFFFTT!!”
Lu Bai immediately turned furious, “Since when did I agree to that, why didn’t I know about it? Huo Chen, since you are that good at bulls.h.i.+tting, how about calling yourself Bulls.h.i.+t Huo?”
“Speak properly!”
As his voice trailed off, Wen He slapped the back of his head.
Lu Bai glared at her. “And you are siding with him now eh?
