Chapter 493 We Will Not Give Up on Anything

Looking at Xiao Yunfeng's calm and composed demeanor, Li Honghai thought that he might have persuaded the leaders.

That makes sense, though. Although he and Su Jin are quite different in age, they are not related by blood. And with his excellent qualities, if it weren't for the years he raised Su Jin, they would have been a perfect couple.

The next second, Xiao Yunfeng shattered Li Honghai's optimistic prediction.

"No. The division commander said that if I insist on staying with the girl, I have to take off my uniform and leave."

Li Honghai's expression immediately collapsed; his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in disbelief.

"You're not trying to scare me, are you?"

Xiao Yunfeng actually smiled and said, "Political Commissar, this is the first time in all these years that I've seen you react so dramatically."

Li Honghai really wanted to slap him twice. Was his head even normal?

How can someone be in the mood for jokes at a time like this?

"Did the division commander really say that?"

Xiao Yunfeng knew he was worried about him, and nodded seriously, "Yes, and his attitude was very stern."

"It's over! It's over! It seems the Chief is really angry this time! What are you standing there for? See how to clarify things properly?"

Li Honghai looked dejected, never expecting things to develop to this point.

Xiao Yunfeng turned around and sat back down in his chair, showing no intention of doing anything.

A sense of foreboding rose in Li Honghai's heart, and he cautiously probed, "You're not really going to throw away your future just to be with that girl, are you?"

That's absolutely absurd!

He's already in a high position at such a young age, and his future is limitless!

"Say something!"

Xiao Yunfeng's silence terrified Li Honghai, who found Xiao Yunfeng increasingly unfathomable.

Urged impatiently by him, Xiao Yunfeng finally spoke, his voice noticeably lower than before, "If the military insists on doing this, there's nothing I can do."

"What do you mean there's no way? Just maintain your relationship with Su Jin as before. There are plenty of good women in the world, and you can find a wife later. But if you lose your future, then you really lose everything!"

Li Honghai was emotionally agitated; even a fool would know what choice to make.

"Besides, Su Jin hasn't agreed to be with you yet. What if you've done all this, only to find out she doesn't even have those feelings for you? How would you handle that?"

He knew that in the eight or nine months since Su Jin joined the army, she had spent very little time with Xiao Yunfeng.

Xiao Yunfeng's work is also very busy, so even if they wanted to develop feelings for each other, they wouldn't have many opportunities.

So while things are still in their early stages, it's not too late to nip it in the bud.

Xiao Yunfeng's expression was so calm it sent chills down one's spine. "Political Commissar, I know you mean well, but there are some things we can't compromise on."

Li Honghai's heart skipped a beat, knowing that his worst fears were about to come true.

"You only care about the beauty, not the kingdom? I truly admire you!"

He was so angry that he couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

Xiao Yunfeng's situation is different from others.

Others who leave the army can at least go home and farm, but he is all alone, without a single family member. If he really leaves the army, he will have to wander the world.

Xiao Yunfeng's voice was cold and firm as he replied, "No. I want the beauty, and I want the empire!"

He would not give up either Su Jin or the army!
