After a while, Xu Yangyi suddenly poured out such a voice as if he was playing cute, “He Jingyan, I’m thirsty. I want to drink water.”
He kicked his legs and ripped open his collar, seemingly because it was too hot.
He Jingyan nearly got aroused, but Xu Yangyi said he was thirsty. He Jingyan’s first priority was to get water for his wife.
When he returned, Xu Yangyi was already sleeping.
He Jingyan felt he had fallen into the abyss at once, pinching his eyebrows in discomfort.
“It’s only been a while and you’re already asleep?”
He Jingyan sighed, wanting to die.
“Fine! I choose you as my wife! Whatever you do, I will take care of it.”
Putting down the cup, he covered Xu Yangyi with a thin blanket and sighed again.
Xu Yangyi was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly at this moment; how could he know what was happening?
As for Zuo Bo and Long Chen…
After he returned to his room, Zuo Bo sat straight by the bed, occasionally looking at the window or checking to see if Long Chen had woken up.
But after waiting for more than an hour, Long Chen was still lying quietly in the bed as if he were a Sleeping Beauty.
Zuo Bo let out a long sigh, not knowing if he was tired of waiting or if he was still regretting.
After another half hour or so, his mobile phone rang.
He glanced at it with an expectant expression, as if he was looking forward to someone to call him. If it was someone who was not important, then he would not answer it.
But the caller was one of his men who had been sent out to spy on Long Qi.
The call went through.
“Is there any news?”
The look on Zuo Bo’s face was cold, and it seemed that he disliked Long Qi to a certain extent.
“He left for Country T a few hours ago.”
“He is coming to Country T? What is he going to do in Country T?” A frown creased Zuo Bo’s brow.
“It seems that he has business dealings with the First Prince of Country T. He also has something to do with military weapons.”
Military weapons?
‘I have heard about this before, so that is the reason why Long Qi would be targeted by He Jingyan’s dad?’
“How many people did he bring with him?”
“None. He used to study in Country T. I guess that’s his home base over there.”
‘It seems that he knows that Long Chen and I are both in Country T. That’s why he is coming here.’
‘Good. Long Qi, I won’t be polite to you this time; so, be careful.’
“Warden Zuo Bo, do you want me to send someone to back you up?”
“No need. I’ve already arranged some men on my side too. I’m not at the prison now, so I guess there are many inmates who are trying to escape. You shall tell them to watch the prisoners closely.”
“Okay. If you need anything, please contact us.”
“I will.”
Zuo Bo hung up the phone and his mood became very heavy.
At that moment, the Long Chen in the bed seemed to be moving, and Zuo Bo hurriedly got up to check, but he found out that it was just his illusion.
He pinched his forehead again and suddenly became irritated, probably also because of the phone call he had just received.
He sat down on the bed and painfully stroked Long Chen’s face, a mixture of emotions in his eyes.
“If you knew the truth, would you be able to accept it?”
No one knew what had happened in the first place, but judging from Zuo Bo’s expression, one could tell it should not be a small incident, and it also had a great deal to do with Long Chen; otherwise, Zuo Bo wouldn’t have hesitated to tell it to Long Chen.
“Don’t be afraid, little Longlong. Don’t worry. I will protect you just as much as I did back then, no matter what happens.”
“Even if you don’t understand and even hate me, it doesn’t matter. For you, I can do it whatever it takes.”
