But today...
Shen Ao felt the taste of betrayal.
Seeing that Chen Ao looked unhappy, Pei Zhenggang lowered his voice and explained, "Boss, I'm sorry that I shouldn't have attacked you before, but I was also worried that you would die. We are short of manpower now. If we lose you, how can we complete the mission..."
“That’s enough!”
Chen Ao interrupted, "I'm only a company commander now, and I can't bear to be called Captain Pei. Captain Pei should just call me Captain Chen."
Hearing that Chen Ao meant to draw a line between them, Pei Zhenggang was so anxious that tears came out, "Boss...don't! I've been with you through thick and thin for so many years. How can you just disown us like that?"
Chen Ao mercilessly dismantled him, "Oh, you also said that we have known each other for so many years, but have you ever seen me forget a mission for personal reasons? I have always kept my identity and responsibilities in mind, and I have done everything I should do. Pei Zhenggang, between the two of us, it is you who has changed."
"I……"
Pei Zhenggang's voice suddenly became hoarse. He moved his lips but no sound came out, as if he had lost the strength to speak in an instant.
Isn't he worried too?
Before he met Bai Ying again, he had never seen the boss care so much about someone before. He was worried that the boss would forget his duties for personal reasons...
Pei Zhenggang's eyes dimmed, "I'm sorry, Boss. I won't do it again."
Chen Ao ignored Pei Zhenggang and looked at Bai Ying, asking, "I'm about to go down the mountain to deliver the letter. Do you want to leave with me?"
Bai Ying thought about it and shook her head, "I can't just leave like this."
The mission is the most important.
If she follows Shen Ao, she might be held back and be discovered by the guards, and then Shen Ao won't be able to leave.
It would be better to let my second brother take them away tomorrow.
Seeing that Bai Ying had made up her mind, Shen Ao did not force her, "Okay, protect yourself and wait for me to come back to pick you up."
"Yeah. Go quickly and come back soon."
Bai Ying smiled and nodded, then walked Chen Ao out the door.
Chen Ao waved to Bai Ying, then quickly left. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the night.
Bai Ying let out a light breath and turned back to the house.
Inside the house, He Shiwen still felt unsatisfied, so she put her hands on her hips and scolded Pei Zhenggang.
Bai Ying called He Shiwen, "Okay, we should go back to bed."
"Okay. Mr. Pei, I'll let you go today!" Only then did He Shiwen stop judging Pei Zhenggang.
"Grandma, take care..."
Pei Zhenggang didn't dare to get angry and respectfully escorted the two out the door.
After returning to the house.
Pei Zhenggang looked at the empty room and sighed sadly, "Why am I doing this?"
