Chapter 180

‘Wow wow wow! Look at that murderous look! You are completely giving yourself away!’

Xu Yangyi said this in a show-watching tone in his mind. He glanced at Nan Xiao first and ignored him immediately.

Just as those guys thought that Hei Jingyan would give Wei Wei a severe punishment for him had given Xu Yangyi the gun and indirectly caused him to hurt the hound accidentally, He Jingyan suddenly said, “Nan Xiao, lock him up for a whole week.”

Nan Xiao, who seethed with rage, couldn’t believe his own ears because it was not like something that He Jingyan would do.

‘Just a week, that simple?’

Of course, even Wei Wei, the person who was actually involved in this, couldn’t understand it, either. Normally, he would just give out a severe punishment to warn the rest of the soldiers.

Therefore, Wei Wei didn’t know whether to be happy or worried, because He Jingyan was a very shrewd person who couldn’t be taken easily.

‘Could it be that Colonel He forgave me because of Mrs. He?’

Wei Wei could only think that. After all, that answer was the most possible one.

“Didn’t I say it clearly?” He Jingyan glanced at Nan Xiao since he did not take any action.

Nan Xiao trembled and immediately said, “No, I’ll do it right now.”

Nan Xiao did not dare to hesitate. He nodded at the two soldiers aside and asked them to escort Wei Wei to the guardhouse, but he was suddenly stunned because Xu Yangyi was still standing here! Why would Xu Yangyi not be punished?

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Nan Xiao felt; suddenly, an idea came into his mind.

He suddenly looked at He Jingyan hesitantly, looking like he had something to say. He even faked an awkward look so that He Jingyan wouldn’t be able to tell what he was planning.

“Out with it.” Of course, He Jingyan saw his hesitation and ordered coldly.

Hearing He Jingyan’s impatient voice, Nan Xiao hated Xu Yangyi even worse, but he also forced himself to hold back his hatred and said, “Colonel He, I’m not sure if it is appropriate for me to say it out now.”

“I told you to speak.” But before Nan Xiao could finish his sentence, he had been interrupted by He Jingyan with a deadly cold voice.

Perhaps it was the first time that he was treated so coldly by He Jingyan, Nan Xiao was stunned; sadness showed up in his eyes, but this emotion just flashed by very quickly. He then said, “Although it’s not right for Wei Wei to give Mrs. He the gun, he was still doing it for Mrs. He’s own good. And it’s also a matter of fact that Mrs. He shot the hound of Senior Colonel Du. If you  just let that go so easily, it would probably displease other soldiers and Senior Colonel Du.”

Although his words were very euphemistic, his point was still fairly clear. He was trying to tell He Jingyan that he should punish Xu Yangyi just like he punished Wei Wei and that he shouldn’t just use his privileges to spare Xu Yangyi like that. But no matter how he phrased it, he was saying something cross the line. It shouldn’t be something a subordinate should have told his superior.

‘It’s impossible for He Jingyan to let Senior Colonel Du punish Xu Yangyi himself, so I can’t just let Xu Yangyi get away with this so easily. I want him to suffer.’

At this time, Nan Xiao’s heart had been devoured by darkness, not a single part of it was intact.

After Nan Xiao said that, the soldiers gasped for he obviously crossed the line as a subordinate!

Xu Yangyi also frowned. ‘Is he trying to risk his career to let me suffer?’

“Looks like my second lieutenant wants to do my job for me and take over my position.” He Jingyan’s words were as cold as ever, giving people a very suppressive feeling that barely allowed them to breath, especially his eyes on Nan Xiao were deadly cold.

Nan Xiao apologized nervously, but he still said, “But it’s hard for you to convince the rest of the army if you don’t do it. I was just thinking in your shoes…”

“I’ll go. Staying in the guardhouse! What’s the big deal?’ This time Xu Yangyi interrupted Nan Xiao’s cunning “good intention” and snorted.

Maybe he was trying to keep He Jingyan from all those troubles! After all, he didn’t want others to say that He Jingyan was unfair and played favorites for with him.
