Chapter 142

Huo Jingfeng was brought back by someone sent out by Commander Huo.

He was badly injured, with a broken hand and a broken foot.

Huo Jingfeng kept wailing that he had been deceived by Tao Ran, that he had been bewitched and committed a wrong act, and that Tao Ran was the one who killed the person, and that it had nothing to do with him...

Marshal Huo knew perfectly well that what he was saying was nonsense, but after all, he was his own son, so how could he not feel sorry for him?

Even when Huo Jingzhou sent people to arrest Huo Jingfeng, Marshal Huo disregarded his pride and blocked them, determined to protect his second son.

Commander Huo swore to Huo Jingzhou that this time he would definitely keep Huo Jingfeng in check and prevent him from causing any more trouble.

Once Huo Jingfeng recovers from his injuries, he will send him abroad again as soon as possible.

He only asked that his eldest son spare his second son's life!

Huo Jingzhou gave Huo Dashuai a cold look, said "Don't regret it," and then seemed to have stopped caring.

Huo Jingfeng was indeed very well-behaved and kept a low profile during his recovery period, as if he really wanted to repent.

During this time, Wen Xin also successfully passed the entrance examination for Haicheng Central University and officially entered the campus to study.

However, just a few days later, she ran into Huo Jingfeng at school.

Compared to his previous narcissistic madness, Huo Jingfeng now has a handsome and refined face. He apologizes to Wen Xin in a polite manner and no longer bothers her with nonsense.

At first, Wen Xin was wary, and although she became distant later, she never took a detour whenever she saw him again.

Huo Jingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and pressed on to get closer to Wen Xin and gain her trust.

However, he learned his lesson and never showed up when Huo Jingzhou came to see Wen Xin.

Moreover, he didn't get too close to Wen Xin, occasionally bumping into her or offering a small favor. He was measured in his actions, gentle and humble, making it hard for anyone to dislike him.

Later, the club that Wen Xin joined wanted to hold an event, but couldn't find a suitable venue. A female member of the club had a good relationship with Huo Jingfeng and took the initiative to ask him for help.

Huo Jingfeng readily agreed.

Although Wen Xin knew that Huo Jingfeng had helped find the venue for the club activities, she didn't suspect anything because of his good performance over the past two months. She even went with some classmates to check out the old restaurant that Huo Jingfeng had recommended over the weekend.

However, they were all captivated by her shortly after they arrived.

Only three people who hadn't touched their food were still standing, and Wen Xin was one of them.

Oh, one is Huo Jingfeng who came with me, and the other is the president of the club.

Just as Wen Xin and her companion realized something was wrong, the restaurant staff suddenly pulled out guns and pointed them at Wen Xin and the restaurant owner.

Huo Jingfeng stared at Wen Xin with fascination. "Xiao Xin, come with us obediently. I promise I won't hurt you."

Wen Xin asked him expressionlessly, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Huo Jingfeng pulled out a bouquet of roses from somewhere, walked up to her, and said affectionately, "Xiao Xin, I've always wanted to tell you that I was deeply fascinated by you from the first time we met. It's just that we had too many misunderstandings at the beginning, which allowed someone to take advantage of the situation and make you leave me."

"Now, I think I must make you understand my feelings. I am the one who truly loves you and is right for you, Xiaoxin. Accept me!"

Wen Xin: "..."

I suddenly regretted not fainting.

What sins did she commit to deserve having her face covered in oil by that greasy man, Huo Jingfeng?

Wen Xin didn't even glance at the roses. Her gaze swept over the restaurant owner and his staff, noticing their practiced handling of the guns, and her red lips pursed slightly.

"Are you the Ghost Army?"

“Miss Wen, please come with us. We do not wish to be violent towards a beautiful lady.”

The boss, dressed in a long gown and mandarin jacket, smiled and appeared exceptionally humble and polite. However, he was nothing more than a despicable devil in disguise!

Wen Xin's eyes turned cold. "You really are the Ghost Army!"

She looked at Huo Jingfeng and asked coldly, "Are you insane? As a Donghua person, how could you collude with the Ghost Army?"

Huo Jingfeng's face stiffened, his eyes darkening. "Xiao Xin, there are some things I'll tell you later. I had no choice."

"Is it because you have no other choice? Or are you just afraid of dying?"

Wen Xin took a deep breath. "Huo Jingfeng, the Huo family protects the Nanjiang area from the ravages of war and the persecution of the Ghost Army. As the second young master of the Huo family, you betray your country and surrender to the enemy. How can you face Marshal Huo and Young Marshal Huo?"

Upon hearing Huo Jingzhou's name, Huo Jingfeng instantly flew into a rage, "What have I done to wrong them? They are the ones who wronged me!"

“Wen Xin, you are my fiancée, but look at what Huo Jingzhou has done! He stole his brother’s wife! He’s a hypocritical, cruel, and cold-blooded monster! Besides, if it weren’t for him, would I be in this situation today?”

"At least the colonels respected me, but my father and Huo Jingzhou only knew how to persecute me!"

Wen Xin gave a cold laugh, "An incurable idiot!"

Huo Jingfeng: "You!"

The proprietress interrupted them, "Alright, enough nonsense. Knock her out and leave quickly, lest Huo Jingzhou realizes what's happening and none of us will escape."

However, before the proprietress could get close enough to attack Wen Xin, a bullet flew in and pierced through her arm.

"ah!"

Amidst screams, Wen Xin pulled the club president back quickly.

At the same time, the two unconscious guests at the next table suddenly stood up and opened fire on the ghost army spies who hadn't even reacted yet.

Just as no one expected that this long-established restaurant, which had been open for two or three decades, would be a spy den for the Ghost Army, no one would have imagined that the businessman who had been eating here for nearly ten years would be an elite agent under Huo Jingzhou.

Oh no, Marshal Huo is here too!

Huo Jingzhou was wearing patched clothes and a straw hat. His once fair and handsome face was now dark and tanned, covered with the marks of wind and sun. Even his hands bore the marks of farm work.

As long as he continues to hunch over and adopts a submissive demeanor, he will look exactly like a hired laborer running errands for a businessman.

Who would have guessed that he was Huo Shaoshuai, the true master of Haicheng?

Huo Jingzhou couldn't help but feel that his Ah Xin was the real treasure.

It's clearly a woman's makeup skill, but in her hands, she can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

The outfit he's wearing today was arranged by her.

Not to mention the Ghost Army, even You Yuan, who had been by Huo Shaoshuai's side for many years, didn't recognize him.

Huo Jingzhou immediately pulled Wen Xin behind him and shot and killed the restaurant owner and his wife.

At this moment, You Yuan also brought his troops over and surrounded the entire restaurant, not allowing even a fly to escape.

The guards stormed in, arresting the ghost army spies while protecting the group of students.

As for Huo Jingfeng, well, nobody saw him, nobody cared.

However, Wen Xin really admired the male lead's luck; stray bullets flew everywhere, but none of them hit him.

As expected, they are the chosen ones of Heaven!

"Huo Jingzhou, put down your gun, or we'll kill him!"
