Chapter 487 Candy Old Friends
"No... Sir, please let me explain..."
Wang Peng's face turned ashen. He tried to argue, but Hu Huai Ren had already turned his face away and wouldn't listen to him at all.
With witnesses and physical evidence, his wrongdoing has been definitively proven!
"Dean Teng, Wen Ni, today's events were all a misunderstanding, I'm truly sorry!" Hu Huai-ren said sincerely, then his face hardened. "I will never tolerate my subordinates making mistakes, and I will definitely give your school an explanation! Chen Rong, take this scoundrel back with me!"
"yes!"
Chen Rong stepped forward as ordered, took Instructor Wang's arm, and said, "Let's go back to the team with me."
"..." Instructor Wang turned around, looking lost and dejected.
As they passed by Wen Ni, Instructor Chen Rong didn't stop walking, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at Wen Ni before quickly looking away.
"etc!"
Having come this far, Instructor Wang had nothing left to worry about. He grabbed Chen Rong's arm and refused to take another step forward.
"Wang Peng, what else do you want to do?"
"Chen Rong, you say you've never had any other feelings for Wen Ni? Do you dare say that again in front of us, in front of her?"
Chen Rong's expression faltered.
Hu Huai-ren spoke first, coldly rebuking, "Wang Peng, you made a mistake yourself, and you still want to cause trouble here! Dragging others down with you?"
"Sir, why won't you let him answer? I'm not the only one who made a mistake, so why should I be the only one punished?"
"You're just being unreasonable!" Hu Huai-ren's temper flared up, and he pointed at Wang Peng's nose, ready to start cursing!
“I do really admire Wen Ni,” Instructor Chen said suddenly.
One sentence silenced the office. Colonel Hu's outstretched finger froze in place, and he turned sharply to stare at Chen Rong. "What did you say?"
“But admiration is one thing.” Chen Rong looked directly into Wen Ni’s eyes frankly. “I know my identity clearly, I have my moral bottom line, and I know what I should and shouldn’t do. Wang Peng and I are fundamentally different.”
Even if you have feelings for someone, you still need to consider the practicalities. Blindly investing in a relationship will only hurt yourself and others.
“I also admire Instructor Chen’s character.” Wen Ni responded affirmatively, “I am sincerely grateful to Instructor Chen for taking care of me during this time.”
They smiled at each other, completely open and honest!
Lu Jinye stood by Wen Ni's side the whole time, his expression was blank, but his eyes were exceptionally calm.
Because those who have been firmly chosen will never doubt their partners.
"What else do you have to say this time?" Hu Huai-ren glared at Wang Peng and snorted coldly, then turned to Dean Teng. "Dean Teng, please excuse our rudeness. We'll be going now!"
"It's alright, it's alright. My student also made a mistake. We'll discuss the follow-up issues by phone!"
"good."
Before leaving
Hu Huai-ren suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He seemed to remember something and turned to look at Wen Ni. "We're about to go back to the army. Before we leave, could you answer a small question for me, Wen Ni?"
"Please speak."
"I'd like to know which unit you came from? If it's inconvenient, you can just give me your code name." Hu Huai-ren pressed for details. "To be honest, every time I see you, I have a feeling of familiarity, as if I've seen you somewhere before!"
"Um……"
Wen Ni smiled slightly at him, and instead of answering, asked, "Commander Hu, do you like sweets?"
"sugar?"
Hu Huai Ren frowned in confusion and slowly shook his head. He didn't know why Wen Ni would ask such a completely unrelated question.
"Here you are."
Wen Ni took out a piece of candy wrapped in a candy wrapper from her bosom and threw it at Hu Huai Ren.
Hu Huai-ren caught it with one hand, and when he opened his palm, he saw a fruit hard candy with the words "orange flavor" printed on it.
Everyone says he doesn't like sweets, so why did she still give him some? And she hasn't even answered his question yet.
"Sir, let me put this away for you..." The adjutant waiting outside the door had just reached out his hand when he saw Hu Huai-ren close his palm.
Hu Huai-ren's tightly furrowed brows had relaxed, and when he looked up at Wen Ni again, he showed a rare bright smile. "I know... What a surprise to see you here again!"
“I am also honored to meet Colonel Hu again.” Wen Ni nodded politely. “I will definitely have the opportunity to meet again in the future.”
"Then I hope it's not on the battlefield of an exercise!" Hu Huai-ren said, then laughed loudly and turned to leave with a flourish.
Chen Rong and the others were completely confused, but they still followed after them.
Only Wen Ni and a few others remained in the dean's office.
Zang Li was still heartbroken from being betrayed.
Wang Huili stepped forward hesitantly, her face flushed. "Senior Wen, I know I was wrong. I was too timid, which is why I was used and became an accomplice to evil. Can...can you forgive me?"
“I can forgive you, after all, you have your reasons.” Wen Ni looked at her quietly, her tone gentle and without any extra emotion. “But our relationship is limited to studying at the same school.”
“Senior Wen…” Wang Huili’s eyes were red.
"Dean Teng still has to deal with Zang Li's matter, so I'll go back to my dormitory first." Wen Ni didn't look at Wang Huili.
"Alright, alright, you and Konno can come over for dinner tonight!" Dean Teng greeted them warmly.
"I'll pick you up later," Lu Jinye said.
"Um."
After leaving the teaching building
You can see Chen Rong and Hu Huai Ren walking towards the school gate from behind.
Chen Rong seemed to sense something, turned around and glanced at Wen Ni, then silently looked away.
When Chen Rong came out of the office, he asked Hu Huai Ren what the meaning was behind the candy that Wen Ni had given him.
Hu Huai-ren thought for a moment and told him, "I once encountered a special operations squad during a joint exercise. The squad leader was a woman. She was very arrogant. She took down my tank position with a candy in her mouth and threw a tank full of candy wrappers! I was so angry that I ran to the regimental headquarters to report her!"
"What did the regimental headquarters say?" Chen Rong asked curiously.
"The regimental headquarters said they would give that squad leader a good talking-to." Hu Huai-ren smiled helplessly as he mentioned the incident. "How could I not know? That was just the regimental headquarters' excuse to appease me. Later, after making inquiries from various sources, I learned that the woman was their ace special agent. As for other information, I still know nothing."
"You couldn't find any information about her? How could her identity be protected so well? She's probably more than just an elite special forces operative!" Chen Rong analyzed earnestly.
"Then I don't know." Hu Huai-ren shook his head.
"But, sir, why are you suddenly bringing up this incident from the exercise?" Chen Rong's reaction time was a little slow, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong. "Could it be because of this candy?"
"It's nothing, it's just that this candy reminded me of that friend who loves candy." Hu Huai-ren didn't name names, but smiled meaningfully and patted Chen Rong's shoulder. "These things are best left unsaid. This isn't the most important thing for you right now. You're not like Wang Peng. He definitely won't get promoted to lieutenant. Now that there's a vacancy, I hope you can work hard and never forget your principles. Never do anything as foolish as him!"
“I understand, Colonel Hu.”
Although Hu Huai-ren did not answer directly, Chen Rong already had his own answer in his heart!
Asking any more questions is pointless; the only thing to do is strive upwards and hope that one day we can meet that person at the summit...
