“He helps them after he says no. Why doesn’t he speak his mind?”
Xu Yangyi grumbled. He felt happy because He Jingyan was not as cold-blooded as he imagined.
“I heard you.”
Xu Yangyi was startled by the sudden sound. He looked up and saw Ji Guangming.
“Why don’t you tell me that you are here?” Xu Yangyi scolded him.
“But you were eavesdropping on the conversation between the Colonel and the Second Lieutenant. I was afraid to interrupt you, so I didn’t speak to you.” Ji Guangming felt aggrieved.
“I’m not eavesdropping! I’m just listening!”
‘Damn it! He sounds as if I did it on purpose. They were talking so loud. I just overheard them.’
“All right. You are the Colonel’s wife, and whatever you say is right.”
Ji Guangming gave in and shrugged, sighing.
Xu Yangyi’s mouth twitched. “Aren’t you saying it was my fault?”
‘Can I kill this brat?’
Xu Yangyi said to himself.
“Yangyi, are you hungry? I’ll bring you some food.”
When Ji Guangming was about to leave, Xu Yangyi stopped him. “Wait, I’m not hungry. Come over. We need to have a talk.”
Xu Yangyi beckoned Ji Guangming to get closer to him, as if he wanted to tell a secret.
Ji Guangming got confused, leaning closer to listen. Xu Yangyi said, “Let’s sneak onto Yan Chengyu’s car and go to the refugees.”
“Do you want to…?”
Before Ji Guangming could finish his words, Xu Yangyi covered his mouth.
“Hush! Why are you talking so loud?”
‘Damn it. I should really have killed him.’
Ji Guangming turned pale. “Yangyi, are we going to the border? Just the two of us? ”
“Yes. What else do you think?” Xu Yangyi said flatly.
Ji Guangming felt desperate. “Yangyi, please don’t get me into trouble. If the Colonel knows about this, I’ll be dead meat.”
‘I knew Yangyi cannot settle himself in the hotel. This time I’m done for.’
“Yangyi, how about I ask the Colonel to take you there? This is too big a deal. If something happens to you, what should I do?” Ji Guangming tried to dissuade Xu Yangyi with a sad face.
“That’s nod a big deal! Are you going or not? If you don’t go, I’ll throw you off the building.” Xu Yangyi threatened.
They were on the fifteenth floor. Ji Guangming shuddered.
“We’d better tell…”
“Fine. I’ll throw you off the building.” Xu Yangyi interrupted him. He got out of bed and pulled Ji Guangming to the window.
Ji Guangming gave in. “Okay, okay. I’ll take you there, but you have to promise me that you will listen to me.”
‘Damn it! Both options are terrible, and I’ll be doomed no matter what I choose.’
“You should have agreed earlier. You don’t say yes unless I threaten you.”
What could Ji Guangming do? He had to do whatever Xu Yangyi told him because he was only a soldier.
“But how can we sneak out? The Colonel is outside.”
“Don’t worry. Leave it to me.”
Xu Yangyi seemed to have thought of a way. He took Ji Guangming out of the door and said to He Jingyan when he went past him, “I’ll go to see Yan Xingwei and Xiao Ling. I’m still angry with you. You’d better not follow me.”
Before He Jingyan could speak, he grabbed Ji Guangming’s collar and pulled him into the elevator.
He Jingyan wanted to stop him, but on second thought he dropped the idea. He would go look for Xu Yangyi after he gave Long Chen a few words.
But his decision almost made him regret it forever.
